Heavy rain and flooding in #Gaza are making living conditions for children even worse.
“We got flooded, and our tent collapsed.” Bilal, 13.
Rain & cold temperatures in #Gaza are making living conditions even worse for children & families
While @UNICEF is distributing emergency winter supplies, access for all aid to enable recovery work & more funding is vital.

Grateful to join @jaketapper/@CNN, discussing our @business investigation into the Feb. 28 US attack on Shajarah Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran.
Seven months later, the US has yet to publicly accept responsibility.

The ‘kill chain’ and Minab - a long, deep @business investigation. A scramble for targets, outdated intelligence, over-reliance on the AI that fuses data inputs into information for commanders. ⬇️

شبکه خبری بلومبرگ گزارش داده است که بازرسان وزارت دفاع ایالات متحده «دریافتهاند که اطلاعات نادرست، تصاویر ماهوارهای قدیمی و اتکای بیش از حد به هوش مصنوعی در حمله موشکیای نقش داشتهاند که به کشته شدن ۱۲۳ کودک در میناب منجر شد.»

NEW: An explosion that ripped through a wedding celebration in southern Iran on Tuesday, killing four people (including 2 minors) and injuring at least 68 others, likely resulted from a direct hit by a U.S. munition and not a ricochet off another target, according to an analysis by weapons experts who reviewed images and video verified by Reuters.
I spoke with 4 munitions analysts who agreed that the strike on the wedding gathering was a direct hit. Three experts said it was unlikely that a misfired Iranian missile had destroyed the home. Thank you to @Easybakeovensz, @bastischutte & Gareth Collett for your insights.
I also spoke with @haalvsh and @balochistanhrdn to confirm local accounts of what happened the evening of September 1. Many thanks to my hamvatans who spoke with us, despite the continued systematic state intimidation on people speaking with media.
Great team effort with Edward Carron, @idreesali114, Emily Giles, all of @ReutersWitness & @SarahCahlan
