The child pictured is Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq.

He is 18 months old, in Gaza City. He faces life-threatening malnutrition. Dozens of children are now dying daily from an Israeli policy of systematic starvation.

Gaza is now officially in IPC Phase 5, the final stage of hunger.

Photo of the Day

Widely shared but rarely credited to the photographer, Ahmed Jihad Ibrahim Al-arini.

Gaza is the most dangerous place that has ever existed for journalists. But they work on, documenting a genocide for a world desperately trying to look away.

May their images haunt us forever.

40 years!
1 June 2025 sees the 40th anniversary of the Battle of the Beanfield - one of the darkest days in contemporary British history, where 1,000 riot police attacked a convoy of Travellers headed to Stonehenge.

Never heard of it? We're not surprised.

They do not look across the ocean to see where this kind of politics ends up. Instead, they see themselves as white knights on chargers righting wrongs for women.

Couldn’t make this up!
The Pentagon has marked 26,000 photos for deletion to purge evidence of diversity.

The photos include the 1st black pilots in WWII, the 1st women to pass infantry training & the plane that dropped the Hiroshima bomb because it’s called the “Enola GAY”.

This is real. We’re living in a horror story.
War heroes and military firsts are among 26,000 images flagged for removal in Pentagon's DEI purge
