My first @Reuters byline! An exclusive from @MaggieFick @PatrickWingrove and me on the difficulties some patients are facing when filling scripts for higher doses of Wegovy reuters.com/business/healt…
Last official day on EU drugs & health with my glorious crew @jriggers, @MaggieFick, @LudwigBurger & @p1020 who have nourished my brain and heart in equal measure over the last year @Reuters. Off I steamroll into covering the world of energy, my tank greased with goodwill.
At a later time, I will write about my father; his early life in the anti-apartheid movement and Palestinian solidarity; his role as a cultural historian & archaeologist of the Emirates and surrounding region; but this is a kind tribute from the National. thenationalnews.com/opinion/obitua…
Some posts I’ve seen will be carved on my heart forever. Not everyone who begged for help here survived. Their images & families’ pleas are visceral, sickening, haunting. Twitter has been used to find loved ones, deliver aid & save lives. No politician, no ego is more important.
Inhumane. Infuriating. Despicable. Like Turkish loved ones, I’ve seen countless, crucial earthquake posts on Twitter over past 2 days. Some to coordinate help. Some to grieve. Some to literally beg for rescue from under the rubble. Then Erdogan blocks it to save his own face.
Twitter has been blocked on several networks inside Turkey, according to NetBlocks, a group that tracks internet outages — taking out a key communication channel for coordinating relief efforts after Monday’s devastating earthquake. nyti.ms/3I7OKxJ
To learn more, I highly recommend reading this piece by @BBCNews & the wonderful #Turkey expert @WJ_Armstrong. It delves into the Turkish state’s failures to enforce existing, post-1999 earthquake regulations on even the newest construction projects. bbc.com/news/64568826
In 2018 I dated a brilliant Turkish seismologist who worked at 🇹🇷’s top earthquake research institute, Bogazici University’s Kandilli Observatory. We naturally discussed earthquake preparedness a lot. He was fond of saying that earthquakes don’t kill ppl; buildings do.
Tears in my eyes as I listen to the last broadcast by @BBCArabic, closing down after 85 years. It meant so much to so many people here over the decades. Now the airwaves are dead. End of an era.
