Yet another victim of Israel's #GazaGenocide.

Thank you, Matthew Doran, for your compassionate journalism.

In August we reported on the story of 12 year old Huda, suffering extreme malnutrition. Her hair was falling out, and she didn't have enough energy to get out of bed.

We're hearing reports that Huda died in recent days.

Here's our story from August:
www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Malnourished Huda needs treatment outside of Gaza — but she can't leave

Hospitals in Gaza are having to divert resources to treating surging cases of malnutrition as starvation takes hold across the strip. Meanwhile, children who need treatment are waiting to be evacuated...

Who are university senior officials ultimately accountable and responsible to? Who holds university officials to account?

Current governance structures are inadequate.

I call on Jason Clare, and his state/territory counterparts, to close loopholes that allow governance dysfunction.

Dr Liz Allen @drdemography.com · 21h

University governance is broken, and it’s breaking people.

University governance and associated regulatory structures assume the most powerful senior office holders will behave in accordance with the high standards benefiting their station.

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

Latest Nobel Peace Prize was awarded for work on peaceful transition to democracy, inter alia.

Trumpty Dumpty thinks he deserves one for ending imaginary wars & bringing USA to a point approaching dictatorship, with attacks on Congress, judiciary, media & opponents.

He's got a lot to learn.
