‘No Other Land’s Hamdan Ballal Once Again Attacked By Israeli Settlers
Not even a year after being attacked by a mob of Israeli settlers, Academy Award-winning No Other Land co-director Hamdan Ballal was once again ambushed at his home — this time, along with his family members. In a social media statement shared on both the film’s Instagram account and the page of co-helmer Basel Adra yesterday, Ballal said he was assaulted by the same settler who targeted him shortly after his Oscar win in March 2025.

"Israel continues to tightly restrict aid & basic supplies into Gaza. Its refusing to allow more food, fuel, medicine or temp housing, despite agreeing to all those things in the ceasefire. On Sunday 158 trucks entered the strip, but only 12 were carrying humanitarian supplies"

The head of the UN Development Programme says Gaza needs more access for debris/waste removal, more access for relief housing, and more access for health needs.

Who is blocking all those things?

@novaramedia.com explains the story about Labour Together was broken by the @scotnational.bsky.social last September. So how come it wasn't picked up by the msm then like it is now?
