“More than 250 #Australian soldiers are buried at the Gaza War Cemetery, administered by the #Commonwealth, most of them #LightHorsemen who served in the first world war. The majority of graves in the cemetery are #British, but the worst damage has been sustained to a corner of the cemetery that houses the graves of Australians who died during the second world war.

The #Tuffah area of Gaza City, in which the cemetery sits, has been shelled throughout the current conflict. But more systematic and extensive damage caused by military earthmoving has occurred within the last year to the southern corner of the #cemetery.

A spokesperson for Australia’s Department of #VeteransAffairs told the Guardian there had been “significant damage” to the #Gaza #WarCemetery “and this includes the graves of Australians”.

“The Office of #AustralianWarGraves is very concerned by the damage to the cemetery and Australian war graves. We remain committed to ensuring the restoration of all affected graves as soon as feasible.”

“Come For One, Face Us All”: #DurhamNC Nurses Mourn #AlexPretti at VA Candlelit Vigil

Pretti’s killing came amid an already turbulent period for #VANurses, as the Trump administration has shed tens of thousands of employees from the agency.

by Lena Geller January 28, 2026

"Hundreds gathered in front of the gates of Durham’s Veterans Affairs Medical Center Wednesday night for a candlelit vigil honoring Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old VA nurse who was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday.

Clutching tealights and bouquets of flowers, attendees formed a line down the sidewalk that stretched so far from the main gate, different sections of the crowd took on different purposes—those near the front listened to speeches while those further back, out of earshot, sang songs of solidarity."
