Coldplay set for Simpsons stint

Coldplay will become the latest band to make a guest appearance in animated comedy The Simpsons, their spokesman has confirmed.
The band will reportedly be hired by Homer to play a private concert for him and Bart after he wins the lottery.
"When Bart goes to the bathroom, Coldplay has to stop," executive producer Al Jean told US website Entertainment Weekly.
Coldplay follow in the footsteps of artists including U2 and Sting.
Sir Paul McCartney, Johnny Cash, Elton John and The Moody Blues have also made appearances.
The voices of celebrities including comedy actor Seth Rogen and actress Neve Campbell will reportedly also feature in the 21st season of The Simpsons, which will be shown in the US on Fox from 27 September.
Entertainment Weekly said the late singer and actress Eartha Kitt had also recorded audio for an episode for the new season before her death on Christmas Day last year.

Hip directors do kids book adaptations

If Spike Jonze’s upcoming live-action adaptation of much-loved kids book “Where the Wild Things Are” comes even close to its promise, it should be something pretty special.

Early stills from the film look sublime and it would seem that Jonze, who is no slouch in the cool stakes himself, recruited a who’s who of the indie world to work on the project.
Former gangster-in-therapy James Gandolfini of “The Sopranos” fame adds his trademark growl to the voice of Carol, one of the lumbering monsters, alongside Forest Whitaker and a smattering of indie royalty — Catherine Keener, Mark Ruffalo and Lauren Ambrose.
San Francisco-based Pulitzer-nominated writer Dave Eggers, best-known for his innovative memoir “A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius,” worked with Jonze to adapt the script from Maurice Sendak’s beloved childhood tale. It tells the story of a boy sent to bed without his supper who creates an imaginary world inhabited by ferocious monsters who crown him their leader.
The film’s soundtrack comes courtesy of long-time Coen Brothers collaborator Carter Burwell alongside NY art rocker Karen O of band Yeah Yeah Yeahs and features songs by Canadian band Arcade Fire.
The film’s child star, Max Records, looks like he could really steal the show, though. He plays disobedient little Max and with his sulky face framed by the hood of his dirty-white monster suit, he looks looks not unlike a pre-pubescent Edward Furlong.
From the trailer, it looks like Jonze has made a magical film that captures the other-worldly aspect of childhood. Watch Max running around with the sun glinting through trees to the pound of “Wake Up” by Arcade Fire and just try not feeling nostalgic for a lost time in the past.
He’s not the only one mining our collective nostalgia for kid’s books: “The Royal Tennenbaums” director Wes Anderson has turned his eagle eye from the nuances of dysfunctional family life to an adaptation of Roald Dahl’s “The Fantastic Mr Fox.” He is filming it using stop-motion animation, a technique he first experimented with in underwater “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.”
George Clooney is voicing the heroic Mr Fox, who is persecuted by three dimwitted poultry farmers, but prevails in the end. Anderson favorites Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman are voicing too. A trailer hasn’t been released yet, but here are some images.
Then, of course, there is Tim Burton’s disturbingly psychedelic take on “Alice in Wonderland,” with (who else) Johnny Depp made up to the nines as The Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham-Carter as the homicidal Red Queen. Here are some images.

Megan Fox não aceita ser a próxima Bond Girl

Acredite: Megan Fox recusou ser a próxima Bond Girl! Enquanto outras atrizes se matariam por uma proposta dessas de trabalho, Fox se negou a atuar no filme, porque seu papel 'carece de protagonismo'.
Fontes próximas à atriz asseguram que ela tomou a decisão, porque não quer ser conhecida como a amante do 007. E, se aceitasse a proposta, estaria afetando sua carreira, que a tornou famosa por sua participação em Transformes.
Fox também disse que está centrada em outros projetos e chegou a considerar ser a Bond Girl. Mas, não descarta a possibilidade de fazê-lo algum dia

Miss Músculos

Madonna adora chocar seus fãs e com certeza isso acontecerá quando as fotos da pop star chegando em casa depois de jantar em um restaurante no centro de Londres forem veiculadas.

Os braços da cantora, que malha pesado duas horas por dia, seis dias por semana, estão tão magros e tão musculosas que dificilmente alguém pode achar bonito.

Os amigos da cantora estão preocupados.

“Este corpo excessivamente musculoso e excessivamente magro tem uma aparência assustadora.”

A médica Carol Cooper, contatada pelo The Sun, avalia as fotos:

“Não é natural uma mulher ter tão pouca gordura. Ela é rica em hormônios que têm um papel vital na prevenção da osteoporose. É melhor ser um pouco cheinha do que muito magra.”

This is the best biopicture I have ever seen =) BRAVO MARION COTILLARD =)

Great song...

"You Found Me"
[Verse 1]
I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where you been?"
He said, "Ask anything".

[Verse 2]
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
It never rang
And all I needed was a call
It never came
To the corner of First and Amistad

[Chorus 1]
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

[Verse 3]
In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who's ever known
Who I am
Who I'm not, who I wanna be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me

[Chorus 2]
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

[Bridge]
Early morning
The city breaks
I've been callin'
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
Ya never send me no letters
You got some kinda nerve
Taking all my world

[Chorus 3 and outro]
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Where were you? Where were you?
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me
Why'd you have to wait?
To find me, to find me

I really like this song...

The Man Who Can't Be Moved

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not... broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I've been in love with you...

Cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Policeman says son you can't stay her,
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year,
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.

Cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

People talk about the guy
Whos waiting on a girl...
Oohoohwoo
There on no hole in his shoes
But a big hole in his world...
Hmmmm

Maybe I'll get famous as man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
And you'll come running to the corner...
Cos you'll know it's just for you

I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved...

Cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
[Repeat in backgroung]

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I'm not gonna move.

Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton COMING SOON

Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice) attempts to work his gothic magic over one of the best loved stories of all time... Lewis Carroll's 'Alice In Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There', which first told the story of a young girl, who after following a rabbit down a hole, is transported to a strange world. Whilst the disney version of the tale relied on sweetness and light to delight the audience, Burton fans can be sure to look out for the same cartoon traits as earlier masterpiece 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'.

Empresa fará diamante a partir de mecha do cabelo de Michael Jackson

A empresa americana Life Gem irá fazer um diamante a partir da mecha de cabelo de Michael Jackson. Segundo o site do canal americano E!, a mecha foi tirada pelo empresário do cantor depois do acidente durante a gravação do comercial da Pepsi.

A jaqueta do empresário foi comprada em um leilão de artigos que pertenceram a Jackson por John Reznikoff. Para surpresa do colecionador a mecha de cabelo de Jackson ainda estava no bolso da jaqueta.

John então resolveu se unir a companhia para fazer um diamante de Michael Jackson. Parte da mecha continuará com o colecionador e outra parte será usada pela empresa no processo de criação da joia.

No site oficial da empresa, o processo é explicado: os diamantes são feitos através da carbonização do cabelo da pessoa desejada. Os folículos retirados da carbonização ajudam a compor o diamante, que passa a ser uma peça única.

A recuperar da operação, Rui Veloso já pensa no regresso aos palcos

O músico, que completa 52 anos no próximo dia 30 de Julho, foi operado de urgência aos divertículos que tinha nos intestinos para evitar uma peritonite, que poderia ter sido fatal.

Há cerca de um ano, Rui Veloso tinha sido alertado para o facto de ter divertículos nos intestinos [pequenas bolsas que se formam na parede do intestino grosso] e sabia que teria de ser operado. A intervenção cirúrgica estava planeada para Setembro próximo, de forma a permitir-lhe cumprir a sua agenda de espectáculos de Verão, mas, no passado dia 11 de Julho, o músico teve uma crise e acabou por ter de ser operado de urgência."O Rui foi operado aos divertículos que tinha nos intestinos, de forma a evitar uma peritonite. A recuperação será difícil, porque afecta o sistema digestivo. A partir de agora ele terá de ser mais disciplinado em relação à alimentação e repousar convenientemente", explicou Duarte Cancella de Abreu, amigo de longa data do músico, acrescentando que "será difícil conseguir cumprir todos os espectáculos que tinha agendados".O músico já deixou o Hospital da Luz e encontra-se a recuperar em sua casa, ansioso por poder regressar aos palcos, para os quais se preparou muito nos últimos tempos, ensaiando diariamente. Deverá, no entanto, voltar a ser operado, para reconstituir a circulação intestinal, que ficou temporariamente interrompida.

David Isn't the Only One With Moves in the Beckham Family

David Beckham hit The Grove with his three sons yesterday afternoon, but he also made time to fit in a little soccer practice with Romeo and some of his Galaxy teammates. While David kicked the ball around with the older guys, Romeo worked on his skills to the side. Cruz and Brooklyn are often around to take the field with their brother, but this time David had some one-on-one time with his middle child.

LeAnn Rimes and Husband Are Separated

Four months after reports surfaced that LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian were allegedly having an affair, a source tells PEOPLE that the country singer is no longer living with her husband, Dean Sheremet. "Le and Dean have been separated for quite some time now, but they're continuing to try and work through their relationship, a Rimes pal says. The couple married in 2002, when she was only 19. Last August (six months before their seventh anniversary), they threw a "Seven-Year Itch" party to, as Rimes put it, "remember how blessed we are." News of their separation comes days after Cibrian's wife, Brandi Glanville, said she and the actor were splitting. "Eddie is a devoted and loving father first and foremost and the speed bump he and Brandi are experiencing needs to be worked out privately for everyone's benefit," his manager said in a statement. Cibrian, 36, who is joining the cast of C.S.I. Miami this fall, has denied he was having an affair with Rimes, his costar in the Lifetime original movie Northern Lights, which they filmed last fall. In March, the Rimes pal confirmed the singer and Sheremet were having problems in their marriage, but maintained Cibrian was "not the cause," adding, "There have been issues brewing for months prior to meeting Eddie on set." The couple's Nashville home is currently on the market for $7.45 million.

AF 447 : ultime tentative pour retrouver les boîtes noires

Les enregistreurs de l'Airbus n'émettent plus. Une nouvelle campagne débute dans l'Atlantique pour tenter de les récupérer en localisant l'épave de l'avion.

Tout espoir n'est pas perdu. C'est le message que martèlent les autorités alors que reprennent cette semaine les recherches de l'épave du vol AF 447 qui s'est abîmé dans l'Atlantique Sud le 1er juin. Une deuxième campagne débute après une pause d'une dizaine de jours puisqu'il ne s'agit plus de localiser les boîtes noires en «écoutant» et localisant leur signal mais d'explorer «visuellement» au moyen d'un sonar le relief quasi alpestre des grands fonds de cette partie de l'Atlantique Sud. Cette fois, l'objectif est de trouver l'épave de l'appareil.
Les boîtes noires n'émettant qu'un mois, théoriquement, elles se sont en effet tues le 1er juillet dernier. Les forces françaises s'étaient néanmoins donné jusqu'au 10 juillet. «L'émission d'un mois seulement est théorique, explique un proche du dossier. Elle a très bien pu se poursuivre plusieurs jours.» Ces recherches étaient menées par le sous-marin nucléaire français, l'Émeraude, ainsi que le navire de l'Ifremer, le Pourquoi pas ?. Le bateau français était équipé d'un «répéteur acoustique» au bout d'un filin de 1 500 mètres de long.

«Le cri d'une baleine»

Plusieurs fausses alertes ont eu lieu durant cette phase de recherche, les autorités présentes sur place ayant cru plusieurs fois entendre les fameuses boîtes noires. «Leur signal peut être tellement ténu qu'il peut avoir été confondu avec le cri d'une baleine», explique un proche du dossier.
Cette campagne de recherches n'ayant pas abouti, une autre commence mais avec de nouveaux moyens. Les équipes ont été relevées la semaine dernière et de nouveaux équipements embarqués. La zone de 16 000 km² supposée être celle du point d'impact de l'avion va ainsi être quadrillée une seconde fois durant quatre à six semaines.
Un système acoustique embarqué (SAR), un sonar d'étude du relief marin a remplacé le «répéteur acoustique» au bout du câble de 1 500 mètres de long à bord du Pourquoi pas ?. Cet outil qui est efficace jusqu'à 6 000 mètres de fond va parcourir le relief de cette zone sous-marine peu connue de l'Atlantique Sud et permettre de localiser toute épave reposant au fond.
Dorénavant, tout espoir de connaître la vérité sur l'accident du vol AF 447 repose donc sur la découverte de son épave. La carcasse de l'avion permettrait d'apporter de nouvelles informations aux enquêteurs qui pour l'instant n'ont que

peu de pièces à expertiser : 1 100 en tout qui constituent une faible part de l'appareil. Mais ce sont véritablement les boîtes noires qui permettront de lever le mystère sur ce drame. À condition qu'elles n'aient pas été projetées hors de l'appareil lors de l'impact dans l'océan. Après l'accident du Boeing 737 de la compagnie Adam Air début 2007 au large de l'Indonésie, il avait fallu huit mois aux autorités américaines pour repêcher les boîtes noires. Elles étaient intactes et reposaient par 2 000 mètres de fond. En revanche, les recherches du Boeing 747 de la South African Airways disparu en 1987 dans l'océan Indien n'ont jamais rien donné.

Japanese fishermen brace for giant jellyfish

Giant jellyfish descend on the Sea of Japan, causing untold devastation to coastal villages and leaving a trail of destruction and human misery behind.Sounds like a great sci-fi flick. But it's not.
It's real and a nightmare for Japanese fishermen.
The massive sea creatures, called Nomura's jellyfish, can grow 6 feet (1.83 meters) in diameter and weigh more than 450 pounds (204 kilos). Scientists think they originate in the Yellow Sea and in Chinese waters. For the third year since 2005, ocean currents are transporting them into the Sea of Japan.
Monty Williams, a marine biologist at Alabama's Dauphin Island Sea Lab, said the jellyfish grow to an enormous size as they are transported by ocean currents. He said they stay together in packs and as they drift northward, they get caught in fishermen's nets.
The giant jellyfish are one of about 200 species of coastal jellyfish or large jellyfish that exist around the world. But Nomura's stands out because of its enormous size.
"The sheer size of them, individually, makes them fairly spectacular," Williams said. Spectacular, perhaps, to scientists, but perilous to villagers along the Japanese coast who have seen the destructive habits of these colossal creatures in the past. They had giant-jellyfish invasions in 2005 and 2007, and because they've recently been spotted in the Sea of Japan, they're bracing for another, potentially harmful wave this summer.
The jellyfish destroy fishermen's nets, getting trapped in them, tearing holes and ruining catches.
Fishermen often use expensive mazelike nets that stretch for hundreds of kilometers. When swarms of giant jellyfish tear them, the result is devastating.
"Communities of fishermen and these fishing villages own these nets," Williams said. "When these nets get wiped out, it actually has this economic devastation for an entire community."
The good news is that previous attacks have prompted Japan to put in place a warning system for fishermen. While they still risk losing a big catch, they can, at least, save their pricey nets from the invasion of the giant jellyfish.
It's not clear why waves of Nomura's jellyfish have made it to the Sea of Japan in recent years. Some have speculated that overfishing, pollution or rising ocean temperatures may have depleted the kinds of fish that prey on Nomura's jellyfish in the polyp stage. However, no one is certain, Williams said.

Potter actor sentenced over drugs

A Harry Potter actor has been told to carry out community service after he admitted growing cannabis plants in his mother's north-west London home.

Jamie Waylett, who plays bully Vincent Crabbe in the film series, pleaded guilty to growing 10 cannabis plants in tents at the Kilburn house.
Waylett, 20, was ordered to do 120 hours of unpaid work by Westminster Magistrates' Court.
He was arrested after police found pictures of the plants on his camera.
Police seized the camera after he was arrested for taking a picture of officers as he and his friend John Innis, 20, drove past, the court was told.
When police searched Mr Waylett's mother's home they found the 10 cannabis plants.
Waylett, from Kilburn, played a sidekick of villain Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films.

Hear the World exhibition

Rock star Bryan Adams is bringing his Hear the World photography exhibition to London's Saatchi Gallery. The series aims to raise awareness of the importance of healthy hearing and the impact of hearing loss.

The exhibition features a host of celebrities, including model Elle MacPherson, who are supporting the campaign. Hear The World says 1 in 10 people in the industrialised world is hard of hearing.

Stars,
including singer Michael Buble, all posed for Adams with a hand cupped behind their ear to convey conscious hearing.

The exhibition, which also features portraits of Lord Attenborough, Lindsay Lohan and Amy Winehouse, has previously visited New York, Berlin and Zurich

Photographs of stars like Jude Law are available for purchase with the proceeds going to the Hear the World Foundation. The organisation aims to educate people about dangerous sound levels and offers support and solutions to those with hearing loss.

Singer Annie Lennox has been an ambassador for the initiative since last year. The exhibition will be open to the public from 22 - 26 July. Visitors will be able to screen their hearing at free testing stations.

Renée Zellweger volta ao papel de Bridget Jones

Renée Zellweger concordou em fazer uma terceira história sobre Bridget Jones, ao lado dos atores Colin Firth e Hugh Grant, que também atuaram nos primeiros filmes.
A primeira comédia romântica, de 2001, arrecadou US$282 milhões no mundo todo, enquanto a sequência de 2004, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, chegou aos US$262 milhões.
Responsáveis do estúdio britânico Working Title decidiram que é o momento de a atriz voltar ao papel da adorável personagem, para encerrar a trilogia.
Dizem que a última parte do filme vai girar em torno das tentativas de Jones de ser mãe, aos 40 anos.

“Harry Potter e o Príncipe Misterioso” bate recorde de bilheteira

O mais recente filme da saga Harry Potter, que estreou em Portugal na passada semana, estabeleceu um novo recorde de receitas de bilheteira para os primeiros cinco dias de exibição nos EUA.

Amealhando um total de 396.7 milhões de dólares nas bilheteiras nos primeiros cinco dias de exibição nos EUA, “Harry Potter e o Príncipe Misterioso” ultrapassou o anterior recordista de receitas “Homem-Aranha 3”, que obteve 381.7 milhões de dólares no mesmo período de tempo. Apesar de “apenas” ter obtido a sexta maior receita de sempre no dia estreia com 159.7 milhões de dólares, mesmo assim, “Harry Potter e o Príncipe Misterioso” somou mais 20 milhões de dólares no dia de estreia do que o anterior episódio da saga “Harry Potter E a Ordem da Fénix”. Em relação à contabilidade para os primeiros cinco dias de exibição dos filmes estreados em 2009 nos EUA, em segundo lugar, e muito distante dos valores atingidos pelo sexto capítulo Harry Potter, está “A Idade do Gelo 3 - Despertar dos Dinossauros”, seguido de “Transformers: Retaliação”. A fechar o top 5 estão “Bruno” e “A Ressaca”, em quarto e quinto lugar respectivamente.

Sequela de “Master and Commander” pode estar a caminho

Segundo “Russel Crowe”, a possibilidade de poder vir a ser filmada uma sequela do filme Master and Commander ganha forma, tendo o actor confirmado que já há um argumento acabado para mostrar.

Russel Crowe interpretou o capitão Jack Aubrey em 2003, num filme que foi nomeado para dez Óscares da Academia. A personagem foi protagonista de mais de 20 romances, escritos por Patrick O’brien, sendo o filme de 2003 uma adaptação de elementos de três desses romances. Ao que consta, segundo o próprio Crowe, já há um argumento completo, adaptado de um dos romances, com o título The Reverse of the Medal. Aparentemente já há negociações a decorrer no centido de garantir o elenco, embora Crowe afirme que ainda há um longo caminho a percorrer, nomeadamente se tivermos em conta o facto de que ainda não há um anúncio oficial por parte de nenhum estúdio.
Numa entrevista de 2005, o realizador Peter Weir, responsável pelo primeiro filme, afirmara que dificilmente haveria uma sequela, uma vez que, apesar de uma prestação razoável no box office, não teria havido aquele impacto que normalmente origina uma sequela. Pelos vistos, mesmo tendo em conta esse aspecto, há o desejo de voltar aos mares, e com Russel Crowe a mostrar o seu interesse tão claramente, é bem provável que isso venha mesmo a acontecer.

Novo actor para a saga Twilight

Segundo rumores lançados na internet, o terceiro filme da saga Twilight terá um novo actor. A honra caberá ao australiano Xavier Samuel, que terá um papel determinante em Eclipse, o terceiro da saga, que começa a rodar muito em breve.

Será o primeiro actor a entrar de novo para a saga e encarnará uma personagem central para a narrativa das adaptações de Stephenie Meyer. Xavier Samuel, jovem actor australiano que se tem destacado por papéis em pequenos filmes australianos, entrará para Eclipse, o terceiro filme da saga, como Riley, um vampiro recém-nascido, que terá papel central na tentativa de matar a heroína Bella.
A produção de Eclipse anunciou o início da rodagem para o próximo mês, tentando retirar os maiores dividendos possíveis da popularidade que tanto o filme como o livro têm tido. Seguindo a politica de mudar de realizador de filme para filme, o próximo na lista para realizar é David Slade, responsável por Hard Candy.

Morgan Freeman no elenco de “Red”

O consagrado actor norte-americano Morgan Freeman foi escolhido para o elenco do filme “Red”, no qual vai contracenar com Bruce Willis.

“Red” é baseado numa obra literária em formato BD com o mesmo nome da autoria de Warren Ellis e Cully Hamner. A história, que será adaptada para um filme do género suspense, centra-se num agente da CIA de nome Paul Moses, que será representado por Bruce Willis. Em “Red”, o agente Moses é perseguido por um director da CIA que o quer eliminar a qualquer custo e, com isso, apagar as provas dos “trabalhos sujos” que este fez em prol da organização. Ainda não é conhecido que papel Morgan Freeman irá interpretar, tal como ainda não foi divulgado o nome do realizador para este projecto. Certo é que o argumento adaptado está a cargo dos irmãos Erich e Jon Hoeber.

In pictures: Gaza six months on /Gazans face, six months after Israel's military operation

The International Committee of the Red Cross has taken these photos to show the hardships Gazans face, six months after Israel's military operation. Khalil cannot rebuild his home because the blockade of the strip means few building materials get in.
Many children in Gaza suffer from anaemia, mainly due to iron deficiency. This child, Yehia Alhassani, is 14 months old. His mother's breast milk has dried up and the family cannot afford to buy proper baby formula milk.

Meriam tries to give her children nutritious food, but can hardly afford it. Half of Gaza's population rely on the UN for their staple foods. Many families have had to sell their personal belongings, such as jewellery, to keep going.

Rajeh is an unemployed Palestinian living in southern Gaza. He is collecting fire wood for his wife to use in the house. He cannot afford to buy cooking gas even if it is available on the market.


Fetching clean water is often a child's job. The war damaged Gaza's already fragile water and sewage networks. Israel says its military action was intended to stop militants in Gaza firing rockets at Israel.
