This landmark study in The Lancet should be etched on @elonmusk's gravestone: Dismantling USAID is projected to cause 14 million deaths between 2025 and 2030 — that’s more than 2.4 million lives lost every year. That’s as many lives lost as in World War I.

A pause in hostilities has now been officially agreed between the Government of Israel and Hamas, but what does this mean for children in Gaza and what will happen next?

Delighted to be the new Minister for Africa. The continent has some of the world's fastest growing economies and is a hub for innovation. I'm looking forward to working with our African partners to tackle climate change, boost prosperity and build security. Our future starts now.

Bibby Stockholm was the ultimate symbol of the Tories' cruelty towards refugees. The Home Office's closure of the barge should be the first step of many towards building a more compassionate asylum system.

The rise in Islamophobia since October 7 has been shocking. Tell MAMA has recorded a 335% increase in cases reported to them. We need to consistently challenge anti-Muslim hatred in our society.

Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed. It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long. (Location: Bournemouth Beach)

Tarnishing my legacy? Do me a favour. I’m in a terrible moment right now I’ll give you that. Most people would quit and give up in my situation right now. But I’m not most people and my mind works differently. I won’t quit. I will keep fighting and working to produce the performances I know I’m capable of.
@Kheredine@Kheredine2018

It’s been an incredible journey by a remarkable man. And such a privilege to bear witness to large parts of it. All good things come to an end , of course . So when should @andy_murray call time on his extraordinary career ? bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/6…

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, had been with Save the Children since 2019. He was the proud father of four children, Mohammad (12), Heba (11), Zeina (3), and Zein (2). All of his children, his wife Fatima, and many other members of his extended family of 28 are also believed to have been killed following an Israeli airstrike. Sameh will be remembered by his colleagues for spreading such joy and kindness, dancing at staff workshops, and always stepping in to make breakfast and coffee for everyone. Sameh and his family will be deeply mourned and will never be forgotten. Too many lives have been lost. Too many families have been torn apart. We need a ceasefire NOW.

Hamas is obligated to release hostages, whether or not aid enters Gaza. The Israeli gov't is obligated to supply Gaza with aid, whether or not hostages are released. Civilians should not be pawns in a deadly standoff between warring parties who flout basic principles of humanity.

Everything in this piece by @lisanandy is true, up until it says the conflict needs a “longer pause” rather than a ceasefire. What use is a plan for education when the bombs start to fall again?
Lisa Nandy MP@lisanandy

The world must urgently turn its focus to the children of Gaza. We need an emergency plan to protect lives, get aid into Gaza and provide long term help. Inaction now will have lasting implications for a million children and the prospect of peace. independent.co.uk/voices/labour-…
