I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community. We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect? Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity.

After 15 months of genocide in Gaza, a ceasefire has been declared — but the US, UK & others must be held accountable for arming these atrocities. We’ll keep speaking out until the siege lifts, aid flows, schools & hospitals are rebuilt, the Occupation ends & Palestine is free.

This morning’s raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital has put this last major health facility in North #Gaza out of service. Initial reports indicate that some key departments were severely burnt and destroyed during the raid. 60 health workers and 25 patients in critical condition, including those on ventilators, reportedly remain in the hospital. The patients in moderate to severe condition were forced to evacuate to the destroyed and non-functional Indonesian Hospital. WHO is deeply concerned for their safety. This raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital comes after escalating restrictions on access for WHO and partners, and repeated attacks on or near the facility since early October. Such hostilities and the raids are undoing all our efforts and support to keep the facility minimal functional. The systematic dismantling of the health system in Gaza is a death sentence for tens of thousands of Palestinians in need of health care. This horror must end and health care must be protected. Ceasefire!

“The intensive care unit, the neonatal unit, and the medical examination department are being targeted … Despite our repeated appeals over more than 70 days, we have received no response from the international community.”

Spanish PM Sanchez has joined French President Macron in calling for all countries to impose an embargo on arms sales to Israel. Described as “the most lethal fighter jet in the world”, every F-35 is made in part in the UK. The UK government must end ALL arms sales to Israel.

At the UN, before Israel attacked Beirut, Netanyahu called hospitals, schools & homes in Lebanon a legitimate target. Israel’s genocidal intent & violence in Gaza is being repeated in Lebanon. This is what Islamophobia, dehumanisation of brown lives & total impunity looks like.

Despite overwhelming evidence of Israeli war crimes, the UK government continues to export weapons to Israel. End this complicity. Immediately suspend all arms sales.

Newborn twins in Gaza were killed with their mother and grandmother as their father went to collect birth certificates earlier today. According to local media, the family had been displaced from northern Gaza and had sheltered further south. trib.al/FMWwdUq

This is the correct decision, and an important first step in respecting the universal application of international law. Well done to the millions of people across the country who have made it clear that they refuse to be complicit in war crimes. We will continue to demand an end to the massacre in Gaza, an end to all arms sales to Israel, and an end to the occupation of Palestine.
