Turkiye's Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) announced that it has dispatched 81 search and rescue experts from eight provinces to join ongoing relief and recovery efforts in war-ridden Gaza.

Aerial image shows widespread destruction across Gaza — crumbled apartment buildings, collapsed rooftops, and streets filled with rubble stretching into the distance under a pale sky.

Palestinian journalist Ahmad Abdul Aal from Gaza, was freed today after months of detention in Israeli prisons.

The image shows a deeply emotional reunion. A Palestinian man—identified as journalist Ahmad Abdul Aal—sits surrounded by a crowd, wearing a grey sweatshirt and looking somber, visibly affected. In the foreground, a young boy gently cups his face with both hands, gazing up at him with tenderness and concern. Around them, several people look on, some with solemn or tearful expressions. The moment captures both the exhaustion and relief of Abdul Aal’s release after enduring months of Israeli imprisonment, and the quiet strength of familial love and resilience in the aftermath.

Something this book really drilled home (scuse the pun) is that we're not stalled out on climate because scientists didn't model hard enough or campaigners didn't come up with the perfect message, but because the world's most powerful spent gazillions to sabotage action.

Jumping the gun (err, sorry) a bit aren't we, talking already about 'rebuilding Gaza'. Even so, how many have even the beginnings of a clue about the challenges of doing *civilian* construction work in such a heavily bombed landscape -- *the* most heavily bombed on Earth, ever. Guessing rather few.

Recycling nuclear fuel is also expensive. Very, very expensive.

"The cost to build the reprocessing plant, including new safety measures, has ballooned to ¥3.1T ($20.57B). The initial estimate was ¥760B. 💸

"The total budget has reached ¥14.7T." 💸💸

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.
