Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $30 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

U.N. Security Council Holds Emergency Meeting After Israeli Attack on Gaza School Kills 100+

HeadlineAug 14, 2024

The U.N.'s humanitarian agency has warned Israel's attack on a school in Gaza City that killed at least 100 people on Saturday was “far from an isolated incident.” The U.N. reports it’s at least the 21st Israeli strike on a school since early July that have killed scores of civilians, including children. On Tuesday, Algeria called an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council to discuss Israeli attacks on civilians. Riyad Mansour is Palestine’s U.N. ambassador. 

Riyad Mansour: “You have a responsibility to react, to save human lives and preserve the foundations for peace and security for all, not just for some. Israel is a rogue state with a rotten government due to the unbridled impunity it has enjoyed so far.”
