Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israel’s Genocidal Attacks on Gaza Continue, Slaughtering Children, Displaced Palestinians

HeadlineApr 17, 2025

Israel’s military has stepped up a series of deadly strikes on tent encampments for displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as the United Nations warns Israel’s renewed assault has uprooted about half a million people since Israel shattered the ceasefire in March. Earlier today, an Israeli airstrike targeted tents in the Jabaliya refugee camp, killing at least seven people. Separately, 10 Palestinians were killed in an overnight attack on a tent encampment in Khan Younis, with children among the dead and wounded.

Youssef Abu Alrous: “A 12-year-old disabled child, he burned to death in his wheelchair. We carried him. Even his bones had melted as we pulled him out. This is the child’s wheelchair. A child, 12 years old!”
