No idea if this accurately characterises a single real moment but it was a funny image.

It was another terrifying night in Gaza, Bombing around Khan Younis lasted for hours and Ahmed could barely sleep.

We're over halfway to 40K, which would let us get everyone to safety. You've been incredibly generous so far, but time is still against us!

There is, still, hope for the climate.
