One month since 7 October...

To say that the past four weeks have been difficult to witness is an understatement

Day after day, we can see the immense pain, the soaring number of deaths and the unimaginable suffering which is being caused by a key US and UK ally.

We have seen the extent to which our own political class value some lives over others.

At Novara Media, our supporters fund journalism that is dedicated to countering the systematic misrepresentation of the reality in Israel and Palestine.

We're working harder than ever to provide truthful, independent analysis that you won't find in mainstream outlets.

I want to take a moment to reflect on the key moments in Novara Media's recent coverage of the war in Gaza.

This is only possible because of the consistent support provided by our audience. Thank you.
