Did you know today is International Men’s Day?
I’m spending it writing about Italy’s disabled WWI veterans and their family lives under fascism - a world far more complex than the usual tale of ‘sacrificial patriotic heroes’.

I often hear the count of those who died in the conflict in Gaza (an exorbitant number), but rarely the wounded, disabled and traumatised are mentioned www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...
There are more child amputees in Gaza than anywhere else in the world. What can the future hold for them?
Tens of thousands of children have been wounded in Gaza. Even those evacuated for treatment face an impossible path
