The 'deliberations' about Rafah are shameful long before the 'operation' itself. More than 1 million people are ducks in a shooting gallery for Israeli bombers, living in abject squalor as the masters of war 'debate' their fate. 1.1 million hostages; it is already a crime.

Leaked USAID memo: “deterioration of food security and nutrition in Gaza is unprecedented in modern history, exponentially outpacing in six months the long-term declines that led to the only other two famine declarations in the 21st century”

I went to Khan Yunis today, where we met a family who decided to live in their partially bombed house after Israeli troops withdrew the area.

They claimed that living between the rubble is better than to living in a tent in Rafah, which is overcrowded, polluted, and lacks…

Students wonder how international law is made.

Starts a bit like this - with a question - doesn’t the treatment of women in Afghanistan by the Taliban look a lot like apartheid …but based on gender?
