In the end it's going to be easier to work out the death toll by counting who is actually left alive. Looking at these images, they're never going to find all the bodies. #gaza #genocide

The most important point here is in the last paragraph: "People who are suffering from acute malnutrition need specialised treatment, as they can develop refeeding syndrome if they resume eating normally after a prolonged period of hunger." Consistent food aid AND medical care needed now.

Two major Israeli human rights organizations, B’Tselem & Physicians for Human Rights, officially declared Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, citing bombs targeting civilians, displacement, and deliberate starvation. The first time the Gaza genocide is called out from within Israeli society. #3E🧵

Today is the 50th Anniversary of the movie JAWS which was originally released on the 20th June 1975. #Jaws50 It's also your occasional reminder that Robert Shaw who played Quint in the movie, grew up and went to school in Stromness #Orkney where his father was the local doctor. 🦈

Netanyahu’s illegal unilateral attack on Iran risks a full-blown war. These strikes directly undermine the U.S. diplomatic efforts to address Iran’s nuclear program. Talks were planned for Sunday, but Netanyahu chose to attack. We must not be dragged into another Netanyahu war.

To put these top-line budget numbers in context, cuts of this magnitude would effectively mean no new grants in FY2026. The entire extramural budget would go to existing, continuing grants. An abject failure of American ambition. And a betrayal of our global leadership in health science innovation.
