Germany, France, UK say Israel is legally obligated to allow aid into Gaza.
But won't enforce it...
Chinas total grant and loan commitments of $9.76 billion in the decade up to 2022 are less than the $12 billion that the U.S. spent on global health projects in 2024 alone, data shows.

Hey community,
I have autism and struggle with social anxiety, so Im reaching out today for a bit of mutual aid, if youre able, please give this post a boost.

Im based in Bergen, Norway, with interests in Anarchism, particularly anarcho-syndicalism, as well as free software and Linux.

Turkey Sends Military Forces to Somalia to Aid Battle Against al-Shabab
Israel hat einen ganz bestimmten Fehler gemacht
"Nachdem man bereits eine erste Darstellung des Vorfalls zurckziehen musste, nennt Israels Militr die Ttung von 15 palstinensischen Rettungskrften nun ein operatives Missverstndnis. Soldat*innen seien von einer realen Bedrohung durch feindliche Krfte ausgegangen. Deutsche Medien titeln dazu, Israel rume Fehler ein.
Laut Recherchen der Washington Post und der New York Times wurden die in Uniformen des Roten Halbmonds oder des Zivilschutzes gefundenen Opfer hauptschlich durch gezielte und mehrfache Treffer auf lebenswichtige Bereiche des Krpers gettet. Ihre Leichen zeigten Anzeichen prziser Zielerfassung.
Der einzige Fehler, den Israels Militr also gemacht hat, ist, das Video der Bodycam eines Opfers, welches das eigene Narrativ des barbarischen Vorfalls entkrftete, nicht verschwinden zu lassen. Einen Fehler macht auch die deutsche Presse, wenn sie Israels Lgen bagatellisiert und dessen Regierung mit einem weiteren Kriegsverbrechen davonkommen lsst...."

s group has now triggered mass across the government, & sharp cutbacks in around the world. Musk has justified those disruptions with two promises: that the group would be transparent, & that it would achieve budget cuts that others called impossible.
Now, watching the group pare back its aims & puff up its progress, some of its allies have grown doubtful about both.

A timeline of Israels weaponisation of aid to Gaza
Israel has repeatedly used food and international humanitarian aid as a tool of collective pressure against Palestinians over 17 months of its devastating war on the Gaza Strip.
Civilians in the enclave have been subjected to extreme food shortages and famine-like conditions throughout the war. Dozens of children have died of starvation.
At least five children with cholera in have died on an arduous journey to seek medical treatment, after cuts forced their local health services to close in the middle of a major outbreak of the deadly disease, Save the Children said.
