In northern Gaza, some women are too weak to survive labour. “They gave birth to their children, then died,” neonatal nurse Ihdaa Jaber Ali told me. She has counted 10 such deaths on her shifts alone. theglobeandmail.com/world/ar…

I also spoke with Walid Khahlout, a dietitian in Deir el-Balah, who described what he is seeing: “their bodies are thin, their hair is falling out, their faces are pale and yellowish, and their bones are protruding.” Walid also told me about his own situation: "I have been living for nearly 5 months on the staircase of a school after our three-story home, which included my newly constructed apartment – still unpaid for – was destroyed," he said. "I'm a nutrition specialist treating thousands of people annually. Look at how my situation has deteriorated—my beautiful home destroyed, and I've lost my job and savings because of the war. All I want is to rebuild my home." If you want to help, he has set up a GoFundMe: gofundme.com/f/gaza-war-help…

This one-word post from Itamar Ben-Gvir lamenting the Israeli counter-attack on Iran Friday uses a Hebrew word -- dardal'e -- that is tough to translate to English. I asked @thmr, and she was kind enough to put it out to some translators she knows, who came through in spades: -lame-o, wussy -meh -A dardal'e in soccer is a weak kick, most often a shot on goal that poses no threat to the keeper due to lack of power and pace, kinda sorta akin to a bunt in baseball, except that a dardal'e is not done on purpose. -Wishy washy -A dud ball -a whimper... -Half assed -Wet and weedy
דרדל׳ה!

“Anywhere we go war is following us” - the past year has seen an influx to Israel of Ukrainians fleeing war, and Russians escaping the draft. This month’s Hamas attacks brought sirens, shelters and death back into their lives. My report from Haifa theglobeandmail.com/world/ar…

To summarize Iran FM statements today, this could be the moment before the second phase of escalation for the axis. Eyes on Lebanon and Syria wide.
Iran’s FM @Amirabdolahian in an interview with Ofogh TV: If the opportunity is lost, there's no escape from opening new fronts against the Israel. Time is running out, and the resistance has the capability to engage in long-term wars with the enemy.
