📢 UNRWA spokesperson Jonathan Fowler: Humanitarian supplies destined for #gaza remain stuck in #egypt and #jordan, noting that Israel has been blocking their entry into the enclave since MAR-2025

🔹 Fowler stressed that allowing the passage of people alone, while preventing #aid deliveries, does nothing to alleviate severe humanitarian conditions, continued obstruction of relief supplies is among main reasons for ongoing suffering

Today I want to introduce people to my favorite Nubian Egyptian singer and oud player of the 20th century: Hamza el-Din

The oud was originally a woman's instrument, but in the 19th and 20th century, the oud switched to a male dominated instrument.

Hamza al-Din was one of the most prominent oud players & composers to come out of the Arabic Renaissance. His music envokes both his Egyptian and Nubian heritage.

I am attaching a YouTube playlist of his songs: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbc7z_td9AqbYLC1qxUbPhL2Am7jtLCLk&si=K878ZOpIb2XsMDMv

12,000 medical staff in Egypt prepared to treat Gaza’s wounded

Hundreds of Ambulances have queued up on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border preparing to receive medical evacuees from Gaza.

Citing Egypt’s Health Ministry, AlQahera News reported 150 hospitals and 300 ambulances have been prepared to receive Palestinian patients. It said 12,000 doctors and 30 rapid deployment teams have been allocated to work with the sick and wounded.

“The Rafah crossing is a lifeline,” said Mohammed Nassir, a Palestinian who had his leg amputated after being wounding during an Israeli attack early in the war.

“I need to undergo surgery that is unavailable in Gaza but can be performed abroad.”
