There is no justification for this. None. If you're condoning this you're a genocidal scumbag.
Israel has announced the suspension of more than two dozen humanitarian organisations from working in Gaza, including Doctors Without Borders (MSF), in its latest action taken against NGOs that operate in Palestine.

Israel bans Doctors Without Borders and around 25 other NGOs from working in Gaza
NGOs and UN agencies have consistently disputed Israeli claims about how much aid is entering the devastated territory.

Having a boiling cup of tea (burnt the mouth off myself) cos I'm bloody freezing. I've been making 'grand stretch' jokes since the 21st but seriously when is the actual grand stretch coming cos I'm at the end of my rope with this dank cold business. Like seriously meteorologists, when is it coming?

I don't struggle with 'what day is it' over Christmas anymore cos my old lady peri menopause heart palpitation pills come in a daily blister pack. So I always know what day it is! #auld

Am about to start peeling the potatoes for tomorrow. We'll have four adults and one almost teen and then need leftovers for Stephen'sez Day. So, roughly 27 potatoes each, would you say?

Toasted cheese sandwich filled with contraband Tayto from the Christmas Cupboard of Deliciousness. If ANY of you rat me out to my family for dipping in to the Christmas bits early I'll ruin you. Right? Shhhhh!

Helped a woman in the shop find a Christmas card for her godson. She said thanks and I tried to say “you’re welcome” and “no problem” at the same time but instead said… You Problem

Just a few more days until the 21st and then this bullshit 'dark at 3pm' nonsense will start to reverse. Honestly I feel like it's midnight, it's not good for the brain for it to be this dark all the time. Spring is coming! Hang in there!

Just watched my kid's school carol service that they do in the local church and it was gorgeous. All the kids singing their little hearts out. And as always a feat of engineering to get 500 kids on and off the altar in a timely fashion! It was like a military parade!

The necklace in Love Actually is ugly. I'll die on this hill. Honestly, if my husband gave his mistress that monstrosity I'd feel sorry for her. #speirgorm

Please, no advice, it's done now, I'm begging you not to give me suggestions but - I just paid 68 euro to have 12 cupcakes delivered as a Christmas present. Sixty eight euro for 12 cupcakes. The present is WELL deserved and the convenience is helpful to me but prices are just rising DRASTICALLY.

I bought the few bottles of wine and chocolates and biscuits and gift bags a couple of weeks ago feeling all smug about being prepared. Now I have to actually put the poxy yokes into the poxy bags and remember who I poxy bought them for. Today is the day though. TODAY IS THE DAY! *war cry*

Someone in the UK REALLY wants to get hold of me. Calling every 14 seconds. *polishes nails on front of shirt* it's a trial being this popular.

This poor poor family. An appalling attack, I hope whoever did it is caught and jailed for the rest of their miserable lives.

At least the book kids get a trip, something a bit decent. Usually they're given a signed bookmark from some author. #LateLateToyShow #ToyShow
