Date: 17.05.25 Join Saad Ahmed for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Learning Disabilities and Gaza: Livestream of a Genocide.’ Learning Disabilities Join us as we learn more about learning disability week and discuss the barriers that different people may face in their everyday lives. Gaza: Livestream of a Genocide Gaza is being described as a “live-streamed genocide,” with social media revealing in real time the horrors of mass death, hunger, and displacement—yet the world remains largely silent. We look at the collapse of healthcare, the strangling of aid, and the human cost of war—but also at the voices of young Gazans using social media to document survival and demand justice. Some of these voices, like 11-year-old Layan and blogger Medo Halimy, have already been silenced. Guests: Chris Chalkley (Executive Director of Personal Support Services for Mencap Maaryiah Khan - Bradford People First Katharina Smith-Müller - Diversity and Inclusion Advisor at Choice Support Kieran Siân Walker - Member of the L'Arche Community Phillip Proudfoot - Research Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies Producers : Farhana Khan, Kafi Zafar and Eshal Ahmad
