Get a grip, Israel & world community. STOP THIS MADNESS!
This is but one of the countless incidents where unarmed, starving civilians were shot at by Israeli forces while trying to get food.
From the WFP-statement:
On 20 July, a 25 truck WFP convoy carrying desperately needed food supplies entered Gaza.
As the convoy approached a large civilian crowd, the convoy and the civilians came under fire from Israeli tanks, snipers and other gunfire, resulting in the loss of countless lives. Many more suffered life-threatening injuries. These people were simply trying to access food to feed themselves and their families on the brink of starvation. This terrible incident comes despite assurances from Israeli authorities that humanitarian operational conditions would improve; including that armed forces will not be present nor engage at any stage along humanitarian convoy routes. 
Gaza’s hunger crisis has reached new levels of desperation. People are dying from lack of humanitarian assistance. Malnutrition is surging with 90,000 women and children in urgent need of treatment. Nearly one person in three is not eating for days. 
Only a massive scale-up in food aid distributions can stabilize this spiraling situation, calm anxieties and rebuild the trust within communities that more food is coming.
An agreed ceasefire is long overdue. All hostages should be released, and humanitarians should be able to reach the civilian population in Gaza with critical food supplies in a consistent, predictable, orderly and safe manner -- wherever they are across the Gaza Strip. 
We urgently call on the international community and all parties to advocate for, and facilitate, the delivery of life-saving food aid to starving populations inside Gaza – safely, securely, wherever families are, and without obstruction.

It's out! The summer edition of Plectrum magazine, dedicated to independent music and available in digital and print format, devoted an entire page to an in-depth review of Bones'n'Stones. I truly appreciate when music aficionados take the time to listen to an entire album and put in the effort of sharing their own thoughts on multiple tracks, describe the overall feel as they percieve it, add their genre boxes and select their own key tracks. described the album's mood as 'Uncompromising, Introspective, Majestic, Evokative, Defiant' and was reminded of Björk, Kate Bush, Radiohead and PJ Harvey. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! 💜💜
