Who is Gaza journalist Mohammed Abu Aoun who puts his camera, press shield on sale on LinkedIn for food?
Gaza photojournalist puts his camera, press shield on sale on LinkedIn to buy food for his family. A LinkedIn post by a Gaza-based photojournalist broke hearts as Mohammed Abo Oun said he is ready to put his camera and press shield on sale so that he could buy food for his family. "I am the photojournalist Mohammed Abu Aoun from Gaza, I want to offer my equipment and the press shield for sale so that I can buy food for me and my family," the post read. His LinkedIn profile shows his works have been used by New York Times, ABC News, Sky News. "I have extensive experience covering Gaza, including the 11-day flare up with Israel last year, during which my work was distributed by Storyful. I often distribute my footage through Storyful," he wrote. "The hungry journalist conveys the voice of hungry children. We are dying of hunger," another post by Mohammed Abu Aoun read. The peace negotiation situation in Gaza is at a stalemate while Gaza stares at an imminent famine. US President Donald Trump Friday said Israel and the US exited the negotiations with Hamas as the group did not really want a ceasefire and hostage release deal for Gaza. "Trump's remarks are particularly surprising, especially as they come at a time when progress had been made on some of the negotiation files," Hamas official Taher al-Nunu told AFP. "So far, we have not been informed of any issues regarding the files under discussion in the indirect ceasefire negotiations", he added. Israel said it will allow foreign nations to parachute humanitarian aid to Gaza as children have die of malnutrition. Jordan and the United Arab Emirates were expected to begin airdrops in the coming days, according to COGAT, the Israeli military agency that regulates humanitarian affairs in Gaza. The Israeli announcement came amid rising international condemnation of the present situation in Gaza, with many countries, including some of Israel's traditional allies, holding the Israeli government responsible for the situation. Israel says it is doing everything it can to allow aid into the Palestinian enclave. "The humanitarian catastrophe that we are witnessing in Gaza must end now," the governments of Britain, France and Germany said in a joint statement Friday. Experts said Israel's announcement to allow aids to be airdropped is only symbolic and that will not provide for the 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. Nearly 1 in 3 people in the territory is not eating for days at a time, according to the United Nations' World Food Program. Gaza health authorities say that acute malnutrition is rising and that children have died.

Intern spends ₹30,000 to join Gurugram startup, sacked in 23 days: 'Regret believing the founder'
A Reddit post by a user named @Regrets_only_ has gained traction online after the intern shared a troubling experience of being laid off just 23 days into an internship at a startup in Gurugram. The anonymous poster revealed they had left home and spent ₹ 30,000 from personal savings to relocate for the role, only to be dismissed abruptly. They said they worked 10 to 12 hours a day, including some weekends, before being told their position was no longer needed after a client backed out. According to the post, the startup's founder had assured the intern of close mentorship and a full-time role after three months, with a starting salary of at least ₹ 40,000. However, less than a month in, those promises collapsed. "I was shocked... I regret believing the founder," the intern wrote, calling the experience 'a disaster.' Now unemployed and disheartened, they are struggling through a tough job market in Gurgaon's competitive startup ecosystem. The post has since sparked debate on scial media. Here are some of the reactions. Screengrab from the viral post. Supportive responses poured in from fellow Redditors. "Something similar also happened with me. Please don't let negative thoughts get into your head and start applying mindlessly on LinkedIn, though 90% of job listings are fake there, but you can very well get 2-3 calls a month if you keep applying daily," one user commented.

Another added, "It happens. If you go back in time and think about it, you would still have accepted this offer. At that point in time this was the best decision you could take given the information. Talk to the founder and see if he has founder friends that are looking for someone like you. Don't get disheartened. In this economy, you will have to fight harder, but you will find something eventually."
