Thank you to Richard from Medical Aid for Palestinians for speaking to UNISON’s health conference about the situation in Gaza.

Gaza is the most dangerous place in the world for health workers and UNISON is proud to continue supporting MAP’s work for Palestinians. #NotATarget

Our NHS is beyond broken & evidence that workers are being underpaid for the work they carry out is simply unacceptable. Well done UNISON Eastern for taking up the fight on this. It’s time for change, it’s time to fix our NHS & only The Labour Party can deliver it! #GeneralElectionN0W

Hypocritical doesn't come close. They defend blatant racism & Islamophobia, stir division, attack our civil liberties, trample our courts, treat refugees and migrants appallingly, and then ask us to trust them to define extremism? They do define it.

Such a horrific story in our report tonight on Gaza, filmed by local journalists doing brave & important work:

A Dr in northern Gaza bought her baby son into her own hospital suffering dehydration so severe it’s likely fatal

“I would give my heart’s blood to help him”

More #PayFairForPatientCare news. Healthcare assistants from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust met with the Chief Executive today following a consultative ballot for action of UNISON members. Let's hope Matthew Hopkins 💙 listens 👂 and follows up their concerns. Unison - BSM Health Branch

Toddler Anhar from north Gaza had puffy cheeks & bright eyes. 4.5 months of Israel assault turned him into skin & bones. He died of starvation on Tuesday.
I can’t even begin to process the horror his parents may have gone through being unable to feed him.

PM is real threat, failing to name racism, undermining rule of law with terrible Rwanda Bill, trampling over rights to protest. This didn’t need “urgent address” he could’ve said it in Parliament. Fake theatre from desperate PM of a dying , discredited govt

Welcome back journalism, We’ve missed you.

Such disparity in pay rises is 'particularly disheartening for support staff who have critical roles working directly with pupils but are paid so little”.

As the United Nations states that Palestinians in Gaza are now facing a major humanitarian crisis, UNISON is urging branches to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) and the Red Cross.

Starmer on Israels actions: 'I think its unwise for politicians.. to sit in TV studios & pronounce which acts may or not be in accordance with international law'

Starmer sitting in a TV studio, on Russias actions: 'What I've seen amounts to war crimes'

This appalling The New York Times headline, which in an instant erases the 23,000 Palestinian dead in Gaza & the flattening of a metropolis as populous as South London, may win the Gold Medal 🏅 for most biased, insensitive and bigoted headline of the war, in a very, very crowded field.

Let's talk about my experience being Queer in a Palestinian Muslim family. And how it's used against me. I have family members who accept me and family members who don't, I know many other Queer Palestinians who have the same experience as me, (1/7)

'I'm furious.

Furious that those with power shrug at the humanitarian nightmares unleashed on 1 mil. children.

Furious that disease is as well-armed as the warring parties, but it gets no attention.”

- James Elder for UNICEF, with Dr Margaret Harris for World Health Organization (WHO), briefing on #Gaza

29-year-old Dima Alhaj, worked for the World Health Organisation in Gaza and previously studied in Glasgow. She was killed in Gaza last week along with more than 40 members of her extended family when their house was hit.

Lindsey Hilsum takes a look back on her life and legacy.

This. Every single death is the loss of someone at the centre of someone else’s world. Every bereavement, all the trauma of losing someone makes this conflict harder to end. I think of it all the time too. Every life matters.
