How are babies and mothers in Gaza right now? We are relieved and happy that my brother Hamza’s wife, Nebal, safely delivered her healthy baby girl. Alma was born last week at home. Two days ago, she developed a fever and was admitted to hospital, where they diagnosed malnutrition in mum

This will be out soon! Eileen Cummings about her incredible life story from Stolen generation to policy maker, community leader and great-grandmother. Spending time with Eileen and forming this narrative together has been an enormous privilege. Laughing, crying – it’s all in here!

Bombs falling near where my brother Hamza lives in Gaza City. He, his 1 year old son and pregnant wife had just moved back into their bombed out apartment. Now they had to leave again because of a new evacuation order for their area.

My friend Shumon is looking for a PostDoc on his innovative project that just started: somebody broadly interested in working at the confluence of computational archaeology, network & complexity science and Palaeolithic stone artefact analysis - in a dynamic early career research group!

I haven’t posted on my family in Gaza in a while - because what is there to say? During the ceasefire, food supply had become easier and my nieces and nephews had returned to school a few hours per week. Now the war is back without any end in sight.

Just offering possible wording for everbody who’s at a loss for words: I can’t eat nearly as much as I want to puke (German original, in Berlin dialect: Ick kann janich so viel fressen, wie ick kotzen möchte). Spoken by German Jewish painter Max Liebermann when he was watching a Nazi parade

My sister Saja, living in Khan Younis, is a trained translator English<>Arabic. Her wish is to (re-)build her life through her own strength and work. She asks me to spread the word that she would be grateful for any translation jobs; she already successfully completed one for a colleague of mine.

Three of my sibling with their families returned to Gaza City this week. Like many others, they did the trek north partly on truck, on donkey cart and on foot, having to sleep at the Netzarim checkpoint for two nights. They found their apartment building

Finally, a ceasefire. My sisters and brothers in Gaza tell me that, like many people there, they are feeling a mixture of emotions: Happiness, hope. Sadness about the friends and family who died, which includes three of our cousins in just the last two weeks.

If you ever wanted to replace me, this is your chance: my old job in Cologne is now advertised, wissenschaftliche:r Mitarbeiter:in (Assistenz) am Institut für Ur- und Frühgeschichte. I loved this job and the department - very happy to answer questions about it all, just message me.

My siblings in Gaza continue to parent under very difficult circumstances. The younger kids in my family received WHO polio vaccinations a few weeks ago, for which I am very grateful. My two youngest nephews, both a bit over 1 year old, have spent most of their lives in a war.

Conditions across Gaza are desparate. My family, dislocated to central and southern Gaza, relies on occasional rations being handed out by charities, and donations I forward to them - and even then, they are constantly hungry, cold

The food crisis in Gaza is now at a point where even me sending my family money can do little, because there is simply nothing to buy do to ongoing blockades of the aid. My sister texted me yesterday:
