This public interest content is the guts of our journalism. The Sunday team are the best of the best in this storytelling craft. It is devastating to think about the impacts to come for all New Zealanders as we watch our industry fold across the board.

“Death is better than this.”

Shocking images of starving, emaciated children from inside Gaza are laying bare the desperation inside the strip, as Nada Bashir reports.

Allow more aid for #Gaza .

Ceasefire.

Grim findings during World Health Organization (WHO) visits to Al-Awda and Kamal Adwan hospitals in northern #Gaza : severe levels of malnutrition, children dying of starvation, serious shortages of fuel, food and medical supplies, hospital buildings destroyed.

The visits over the weekend were the first…

I condemn Thursday’s incident in Gaza in which more than 100 people were reportedly killed or injured while seeking life-saving aid.

The desperate civilians in Gaza need urgent help, including those in the north where the United Nations has not been able to deliver aid in more than a week.

📢 Under IHL, parties to the conflict must ensure the basic needs of the population are met. As hostilities resume, civilians must be protected.

Our colleague Hisham shared the following messages from #Gaza during the past days of ceasefire.

UN flags were lowered to half-mast at our offices around the world on Monday to mourn and honour the 101 UNRWA colleagues who have been killed in Gaza in recent weeks.

Civilians and humanitarians are #NotATarget .

So sad seeing all the posts for Long Covid awareness day. If you have a friend with it, please be an ally and don’t question whether they are putting it on. We need better support for people

Our loss is profound and our path to healing is an ongoing one. We are grateful for the love we received here and internationally. Knowing that our loss is associated with such compassion gives us hope that humanity will continue to come together in good and challenging times.

This is so sad. We need to do better. stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/1314…

My neighbour is currently doing CrossFit to a UFO Warning podcast and blasting information on cattle mutilations in Colorado through my window 🤣

Good piece. I had the good fortune of working under an amazing Maori scientist and as far as I’m concerned more pathways of interest to stimulate learning are useful as a teacher. i.stuff.co.nz/opinion/300823…

I know they are going as fast as possible but i really hope they reach those isolated communities soon. If they are without food and water and flooded badly, five days is too long
