Starmer's government has set the most dangerous of precedents: it can now outlaw any political group it chooses as a terrorist organisation – and thereby make it impossible to defend it.

“I carried him on my back. It took seven days.” A camp in eastern Chad is now home to more than 100,000 refugees of Sudan’s civil war, and is a key destination for those fleeing El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur State. Resources are strained as the number of newly displaced people increases.

The British state has used every method they can to isolate and break the spirits of the 8 prisoners who stand with Palestine.

They are now close to dying & the British state doesn't care.

Irish people know hunger strikes. We know British oppression.
We know colonialism.

Gaza famine eases but more than 100,000 still face catastrophic hunger - report

Despite the improvement, the agency cautioned that the territory remains highly vulnerable.</p> <p>“Under a worst-case scenario, including renewed hostilities and a suspension of humanitarian and commercial inflows, the entire Gaza Strip is at risk of famine through mid-April 2026,” the IPC said, stressing the severity of the ongoing crisis. Israel controls all entry points into Gaza.</p> <p>According to the report, more than 100,000 people are currently facing catastrophic levels of hunger, although that number is projected to fall to around 1,900 by April 2026 if current conditions hold. The IPC classified the whole of Gaza as being in an emergency phase, one step below catastrophe.</p> <p>The agency also warned of severe impacts on children and women. Nearly 101,000 children between six and 59 months are expected to suffer acute malnutrition over the next year, including more than 31,000 severe cases requiring treatment.</p> <p>In the same period, around 37,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women are also projected to face acute malnutrition, the IPC said.</p> </div> </div> </article>

This "is an act of justice toward those thousands of lives shattered by unjust laws," said Aurore Bergé, minister-delegate for gender equality.
