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.

I’m pretty sure if we designed an assisted living facility to look like the WH and put lots of gold all over it and a ballroom with his late 70s playlist on a loop we could coax him in there and he wouldn’t know the difference. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

I was recently commissioned to create an artwork which was gifted to the one and only Goldie.

The artwork depicts the man himself and a whole collection of items from his legendary career, and was printed with some lush gold foiling.

Jimmy Kimmel: "Trump was confused by old footage of the Portland protests from 2020, that were being played on a loop by Fox News, so he sent in the National Guard to stop a protest that ended five years ago. God forbid they ever show him footage of Pearl Harbor — Japan will be in a LOT of trouble."

WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K
'Universities in the UK reassured arms companies they would monitor students’ chat groups and social media accounts after firms raised concerns about campus protests, according to internal emails.'

UK universities offered to monitor students’ social media for arms firms, emails show

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Simply this! 👇

We share more similarities with people from other countries than we ever will with the millionaires & billionaires, yet it's the latter who bring us the most misery.

Immigrants, poor, sick, & benefit claimants are NOT the problem. Don't listen to our politicians & our biased media.

Reece Dinsdale @reecedinsdale.bsky.social · 7d

When are we going to realise that people from foreign lands are not automatically our enemy… but the likes of Michelle Mone and her husband (and those millionaires and billionaires who are making money out of your misery and at your expense) are!

Tories offer £47bn austerity - cuts to disability benefits, PIP for mental health claimants, social housing, civil service, regulators, green economy, accompanied by anti-migrant rhetoric.

Won't hike taxes the rich or curb profiteering.

The nasty party heading for the dustbin of history.
