📢 ICRC warns of worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza -- The ceasefire in #gaza has proven vital to saving lives, bringing in humanitarian assistance and sustaining the civilian population. However, Gaza's humanitarian crisis is far from over.

Aid deliveries had substantially increased over the course of the #ceasefire, but they remain a drop in the ocean compared to the immense needs on the ground.

International Committee of the Red Cross · Israel and the occupied territories: ICRC warns of worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza

"Several of the people who were killed in the most recent Southern California wildfires were disabled and the majority were over 70, news reports identifying the victims show. The stories are tragic, but not surprising, aging and disability advocates say."

"California has known for years that it must pay extra attention to people with disabilities and limited mobility during natural disasters. Will it put the lessons of the L.A. fires to use for the next emergency?"

Years ago, the fire bell rang in the ad agency where I worked. I got up & walked briskly down the hall, past the office of the president. Who called out, "It's probably a false alarm!" Ignoring him, I marched out the door, down 3 flights, & out to the curb, quickly followed by almost all my co-workers.

Minutes later, the boss finally joined us—just as the trucks arrived to put out the (quite real) fire.

Dr. Salman Khalid, a physician recently returned from a medical mission in Gaza and shared his firsthand experiences treating patients and witnessing the casualties of the ongoing atrocities in #gaza. His powerful testimony sheds light on the urgent humanitarian crisis and the critical need for international attention and action.
