”The situation here in the Gaza Strip is as worse as it's ever been. We are seeing people fighting over pieces of bread," @UNWateridge tells @BBCWorld With a bag of flour costing over US$ 200 and relentless bombing continuing, the people have no shelter, food, or clean water.

The Australien Government has made an ad about our next federal election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative! #auspol #2025Election #PreferentialVoting #ProjectGina

Reaching an agreement at #COP29 was essential to keep the 1.5°C global warming limit alive. I had hoped for a more ambitious outcome – on both finance & mitigation – to meet the scale of the great challenge we face, but the agreement reached provides a base on which to build.…

International cooperation – centred on the #ParisAgreement – is indispensable to #ClimateAction. Amidst geopolitical divisions, the world needs countries to come together at #COP29 to deliver climate justice & move us closer to securing a decent world for all humanity.

"People who are actually, genuinely exposing problems with the government are classified as criminals and put in jail… it's very, very dangerous." | @MurdochCadell abc.net.au/news/2024-11-2…

Nowhere else on the planet are so many lives at stake as in Sudan today. In large parts of the country there is far too little aid, and far too little protection for civilians. The international community needs to recognise and react to the scale of this crisis:

The ICC’s issuing of international arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders on the suspicion they committed the crimes of starvation, persecution, and intentionally directing an attack against civilians is one of the lowest points in Israeli history. Unfortunately, all we know…

ABU GHRAIB DETAINEES AWARDED $42 MILLION IN TORTURE TRIAL AGAINST U.S. DEFENSE CONTRACTOR For the first time, an American jury has found a U.S. company — CACI — liable for its work at the military prison. @theintercept theintercept.com/2024/11/12/abu…

Next week, the Senate will vote on resolutions to block certain offensive arms sales to Israel. The carnage in Gaza has been carried out with U.S.-provided military equipment. Providing more offensive weapons to continue this disastrous war would be both immoral and illegal.

Every day and week, the situation in #Gaza worsens. With winter approaching and 13 months of insufficient supplies, the desperation is unbearable and aid remains critically low. "People are fighting over bags of flour, surviving on tinned food” @‌UNWateridge told @‌BBCnews.
