I love this man. His name is Anas Al-Sharif. He reports in Arabic from Jabalia. The Israeli army killed his father in an airstrike and threatened it will kill him if he does not leave and stop his reporting from Jabalia. He refused. He literally is the last journalist in Jabalia.

The turn of the light's tide & the start of the sun's slow climb back in the sky. A slight lift of the heart.

I spoke to Mustafa Sheta, the manager of the Freedom Theatre at Jenin refugee camp just weeks ago, about the indefinite detention of Palestinian artists and theatre-makers. Now he has been taken by the Israeli army. Absolutely horrendous news:

Helloā€“ā€“wd value recommendations of novels centring rock-climbing &/or mountaineering.

It is with profound sadness we confirm that a staff member of Save the Children and his family have been killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza.

Sameh Ewaida, 39, was the proud father of four children ā€“ Mohammad (12), Heba (11), Zeina (3), and Zein (2)

Beavers back in Lincolnshire after 400 years in absentia.
Amazing!
Part of a conversion of ā€œlow-lying & unproductive farmlandā€ to nature restoration.
ā€œIt's so encouraging to see how quickly nature is able to bounce back if it is given the space.ā€
