The funeral procession for Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has begun in Tehran. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing The Guardian.

Aliyah Abdel Majid al-Halaq is the mother of Mohammad, who was killed by Israeli forces last year when he was nine years old. She writes: 'At first, you believe your tragedy is unlike any other. Then you discover that your family has become part of an ever-growing list. More mothers, each carrying the memory of the moment after which life was never the same.'

Philip Goodwin, who leads UNICEF UK, writes that Mohammad's story 'resonated deeply' after travelling to the West Bank to meet Palestinian families there. 'I have worked in humanitarian development for more than two decades, but nothing could have prepared me for what I witnessed there,' he says. You can read his letter here.
