In late 2023, Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, international law expert, and writer was catapulted onto the world stage when she simultaneously became “a reluctant chronicler of genocide,” an internet idol to her many admirers who study and share her press conferences and viral diplomatic interventions.

A “Hamas apologist” according to right-wing Zionists who stalk her every move.

'We Cannot Be Clock-Worked Into Acceptance of This Brutal Violence'

Fatima Bhutto meets Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on Palestine turned internet idol, who has become a 'reluctant chronicler of genocide.'

“Ask each and every Palestinian in diaspora and everywhere, we all have one goal: to hold the steadfast to our homeland. The Israeli occupation forces have turned the entire Gaza Strip into scorched land. We have lost our homes, all our possessions, yet we cannot abandon our homeland. It is our homeland.”

The Palestinian Water Authority announced that the occupation army destroyed the water desalination plant during its recent ground operations in the northern Gaza Strip.

It issued a statement that for the sixth consecutive day, its technical crews have been working on assessing the damage resulting from the Israeli aggression.

It also stressed that the damage to the desalination plants worsens the already dire water situation in Gaza.

I thought support for genocide didn't impact the election results in a major way. I was wrong.

29% of voters who voted Biden in 2020 & did *not* vote Harris in 2024 say “ending Israel’s violence in Gaza” was the top reason for their choice.

At least 193 journalists have been killed in Gaza since Israel launched its war on the Palestinian enclave in October 2023, including some who were deliberately targeted, according to a new report.

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) found that in 2024 alone, 91 media workers, among them 23 female journalists, were killed, while 86 faced injuries, with many later dying due to a lack of access to medical treatment.

99 of its rescuers were killed in Israeli attacks and 319 wounded, including dozens who sustained permanent injuries.

27 members have been detained by Israeli forces and their fate remains unknown.

Civil defence crews recovered more than 97,000 injured Palestinians from bombed sites over the course of the 15-month war.

About 2,840 bodies “evaporated without a trace” from Israeli weapons that unleashed temperatures between 7,000-9,000 degrees Celsius (12,000-16,000 Fahrenheit) – “melting all at the centre of the explosion”.

The search for more than 10,000 bodies buried under the rubble of houses and buildings is now under way. These have not been recorded in official statistics.

Israel’s Ben-Gvir calls for remaining captives to be released ‘through force’

The far-right minister said the remaining captives should be released “through force, cutting off fuel, stopping humanitarian aid, and not through surrender”.
