Despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that there is “no starvation” in Gaza, a U.S. doctor who just returned from Gaza says the reality is undeniable and that malnutrition cases are everywhere, in newborn babies, pregnant women, even among the hospital staff.
Both Patients and Staff in Gaza Hospitals Experiencing Starvation, Doctor Says
“It was completely evident that there is no safe place in Gaza,” a US doctor who just returned from the territory says.

Sounds like Teach First is getting the Frontline treatment: rebranding, more oversight, emphasis on diversity... In this previous article @robin2399.bsky.social and I argued that these changes were a tacit admission that Frontline had failed. Same can now be said of Teach First.

We are appalled that an Israeli airstrike last night killed at least 30 Palestinians, including children, who were sheltering in a post office.
Nowhere is safe for families in Gaza.
They need a ceasefire. They need the UK to suspend all arms sales to the Government of Israel.
