Almost 55,000 children in Gaza acutely malnourished, Lancet study estimates

Study shows clear link between Israeli restrictions on aid entering Gaza and levels of malnutrition among children Almost 55,000 children in Gaza are estimated to be acutely malnourished, far more than have so far been identified as victims of the potentially lethal condition, a study published in the Lancet, the respected international medical periodical, has revealed. The study, published on Wednesday, and led by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa), offers a month-by-month breakdown through much of the two-year conflict, and shows for the first time a clear link between Israeli restrictions on supplies entering Gaza and levels of malnutrition among children.

Whilst I love Babyshambles, and these days making a living as a musician can't be easy, £52 is a bit steep while maintaining a good level of gig attendance generally. Gutted TBH. Ticketmaster seem to be worst offenders and I'm sure O2 don't help. A real shame.

The United States Secretary of Defense (aka, Major Pete) is either (a) openly celebrating Nazis and planning to destroy the US government from within or (b) a punk-assed internet troll trying to look tough to offset his gross deficiencies. Neither is good.

#Beardedtheory Too old for this but what an early line up. Ticket bought. Whether I survive is anyone's guess.

40 years ago Chegs (lovely older guy in the village who made compilation tapes, lent you his records and got sent for the carry outs) told me to check out early Simple Minds.

I got around to it this week and he was right!

This one reminds me of Magazine.

Love the GANS album for being different from the crowd, just like Big Special before them.

If you like your post-punk high energy I’d recommend Good for the Soul, by GANS.

It’s fast and fun. And maybe by the end I thought things were losing their edge but it moves with such pace there’s no time to dwell on negatives. Sad they’re not coming to Bristol soon.

I think the world service just referred to Shropshire being in the north of England. I nearly fell off my whippet!
