The death toll in Gaza continues to mount as Israeli airstrikes claimed six more lives on Tuesday, among them a cameraman working for Al Jazeera. The Foreign Office in London has issued a statement urging restraint, though critics say words are not enough when the bodies are piling up. The cameraman, identified as 35-year-old Ahmed al-Masri, was killed while filming near his home in Gaza City.
His colleagues say he was not a combatant, just a man trying to document a war that has already killed thousands. The British government has called for an immediate de-escalation, but the calls echo hollowly in the rubble of Gaza. Meanwhile, the price of bread in Manchester continues to rise, and the gap between the cost of living and wages widens further.
For the people of Gaza, there is no bread, only bombs.
