Great excl from @itsmairab A teenage girl who was awarded a scholarship at a British boarding school is trapped in Gaza. A gap in Home Office evacuation rules means that high-school students, like Dania Alfaranji, have slipped through the cracks. independent.co.uk/news/world/mid…

Mariam Abu Daqqa, a journalist with our partner publication killed by Israel today, left a note for her young son in case the worst happened. Pray don't weep, she wrote. “Make me proud. You are my love, my heart, my strength, my soul... who lifts my head high with pride.”

This is Gaza from the sky: ashen destruction and a maze of makeshift tents stretching to the horizon. I spent two days filming & photographing Gaza from a Jordanian plane. 22 months of Israel’s bombardment, blockade & war with Hamas have left a blasted hellscape. Unimaginable.

Adolescence a depressing case study for how discourse ruins everything 1. Show raises important societal issues and triggers national conversation on what to do. 2. People get carried away and watching show becomes performative purity test 3. Rejecting the show becomes equally performative badge of honour for others Meanwhile key issues and themes of the show get lost or polarised in the debate about watching/showing it.
