Sudan’s civil war has displaced more than 9.5 million people and left millions at risk of starvation.
Despite the country’s vast natural resources, ongoing fighting and shifting control of resources make feeding its population impossible.

Fundraisers warn of ‘catastrophic’ drop in donations to Gaza since ceasefire
Fundraisers warn of ‘catastrophic’ drop in donations to Gaza since ceasefire
‘The world thinks Palestinians don’t need help any more,’ aid organiser says, despite desperate need as winter nears
Fundraisers collecting for Palestinian civilians in Gaza are seeing a “catastrophic” drop-off in donations since the ceasefire was announced in October.
Donations collected by volunteers and funnelled to needy families living in temporary shelters and struggling with illness, hunger and malnutrition have been harder to raise since then, according to organisers, many of whom have been running volunteer initiatives for Palestinians in Gaza on third-party crowdfunding platforms over the past two years.

I'm I always annoyed with this argument that inevitably pops up during elections. You don't live here but there are many immigrants who have lived here for years (ie directly affected by election outcomes) who are denied the right to vote because they don't have citizenship ( which is expensive!).
Ireland may be voting for a new president today, but Irish citizens who have moved abroad can't cast a ballot.
Writing from Canada, Cáit Caden argues that Irish people abroad should be able to vote, especially in presidential elections.
