A photographer in Gaza has put a digital picture from the recent conflict between Palestinian militants and Israel up for auction at a starting price of $1m (£720,000) in an innovative, if highly speculative, effort to raise much-needed aid money for children in the territory. I took some photos of Celine - a two-year-old girl - on the first day of Eid al-Fitr during the conflict in Gaza in May, says Shaban El Sousi. I was surprised that within hours the photo went viral and received attention across the world.

Omar Qais Anani, owner of award-winning restaurant Saffron de Twah, is hosting a pop-up at Batch Brewing Company on Wednesday, June 9, to benefit the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, a U.S.-based focused on providing free medical care to sick and injured Palestinian children.
Fighting between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas escalated drastically in the first few weeks of May 2021, resulting in the deaths of both Palestinians and Israelis. A cease fire took effect on May 21.
The pop-up is the latest in a series that has showcased Moroccan cuisine and street tacos, and celebrated the retirement of the east side bistro’s fried chicken sandwich. Pop Up For Palestine: Dinner and Dabke Benefit will include Anani’s family recipes for falafel, mousakhan, and Nabulsi kanafe. Food service begins at 5 p.m and a dance troupe will perform at 7 p.m.
