At least 66 children have died from starvation in Gaza as a result of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians since the conflict broke out in October 2023, making children the most vulnerable. Child malnutrition is rising at an “alarming rate,” according to the UN.
Police are looking into Irish rapper Kneecap and other musicians who sang pro-Palestinian songs at Glastonbury. The UK government and festival organizers have harshly criticized the ‘death to the IDF’ chant by punk duo Bob Vylan.
Tesco shoppers say they are “running” to stores to snag a “beautiful” £32 set. The matching outfit is comprised of a £14 brown T-shirt with ruched detailing and an £18 pair of matching trousers.
While the items are sold separately, shoppers “love” the set as a co-ord and heaped praise on a video showcasing the styles together. The popular post was shared by @fandflongeaton on TikTok, where the video gained over 600,000 views in a matter of days. The caption said: “Run to Tesco.”
The video received over 35 000 likes and hundreds of comments from viewers who adored what they saw. Although some devoted customers were having trouble finding the popular set, many viewers were eager to purchase the style.
“Bought today,” one fan said. Another person said, “I neeeeed those when I get home from work.” “Running to F&, F,” another person responded.
A fan later said, “I’ve seen that my Tesco loves that brown.” She’s cute, more praise is read. A knowledgeable customer later said to their friend, “Yes, I need this.”
A fan said, “Omg how stunning! It’s not a want, it’s a need,” and another person repeated that. Another joke read, “Ok, you’ve twisted my arm, I’ll go to Tesco.”
Sadly, some online shoppers had trouble finding the set in their neighborhood store. “Omg I need this,” was one of the responses. However, I can’t find it. @fandflongeaton responded to a different commenter’s question regarding the pants, saying, “We have sold out.”
Shop owners said they’d like to see Tesco introduce the pants in various lengths elsewhere. A tall shopper wished you had gone too long with this sort of stuff. “Same,” some people echoed.
A commenter said, “The pants are so short, I need a tall section, and pants never fit me in length.” Someone responded, “Beautiful clothes Tesco but no petite.”
Others wished the set had been expanded to include more colors. An unsatisfied customer complained, “I look awful in brown.” Nice, but it’s needed in other shades besides brown, a second fan said.
Someone who was less impressed said, “They stink in the summer, but they are polyester.” Another user made the comment that “Primark are producing a similar collection and its stunning and less expensive! “!
Few readers anticipated that the world they live in would be the setting for scenes from The Hunger Games books when they first appeared in print in the late 2000s. However, they continue to do so every day in Gaza.
Since the beginning of March, Israel has been firmly encumbered by our country. The entire strip is covered in starvation. The majority of families only consume one meal per day. Some people spend days without eating at all.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is supported by the United States and Israel, began limiting aid deliveries to the area in late May. Palestinians have since been subjected to a deadly game in an effort to get some food.
Some of my neighbors and friends have dared to visit a distribution point for GHF aid, but none of my family members have dared. They only have horror stories to tell me.
We initially assumed there would be tents, queues, and order when we learned about the Israeli-named “Netzarim Corridor.” However, those who took the chance found only chaos and death there.
Near Salah al-Din Street, in a dangerous area known as the “death corridor,” locals refer to it as the “death corridor.” It is guarded by foreign military contractors and is surrounded by sand. Israeli soldiers and tanks are stationed nearby.
No precise timetable for the aid deliveries is available. The GHF occasionally opens the gates at 4 a.m. and 4 a.m. The night before sunset, pilgrims wait.
The crowd erupts when the gates finally open. No staff, signs, or queues are present. only fear, dust, and noise.
Over the top, drones circling resemble vultures. Then, a loudspeaker’s voice says, “Four minutes! Do what you can”!
There aren’t enough food boxes in the middle of the sand, but there are some. They never suffice. People shoving and climbing over each other as they approach the pile. They push one another. Come out with knives. Fighting breaks out in the air. Children scream. Men are falling. Through the sand, women crawl. Few people have the ability to grab and hold onto a box, which is fortunate. Then the gunshots begin. The sandy square turns into a battlefield for murder.
People flee their homes. Many are struck. Some people leave with injuries. Friends, family, or even strangers carry strangers. Other animals bleed into the sand alone.
More than 500 Palestinians have died since the end of May when Israeli soldiers have opened fire on gathered aid workers. More than 4, 000 people have been hurt.
One of them was Subhi, the son of my friend Nour. He felt compelled to risk his life to seek aid because the family had no food left. He made his way to Netzarim’s aid station on June 14 morning. He never returned.
Nour described the hours that were spent waiting by the door. There were no hours. No action. No calls made. The internet was unavailable. The silence was intolerable. Then, unapologetically, they audible a distant shooting ring. They were notified that something was wrong but couldn’t be reached for him right away.
His body was later discovered by paramedics. He was killed trying to bring his children’s food bag home.
Another friend, Hala, shared the story of Khamis, her sister’s brother-in-law, who was another victim of the GHF death trap. He carried the weight of the entire household on his back despite having only been married for two years and not having any children. After his brother’s death earlier in the war, he had begun looking after his own children.
Khamis’ friends managed to persuade him to travel with them to try to get some aid when their food ran out. When someone yelled, “They’ve opened the gates! ” as they were waiting near the aid hub on June 24!
Khamis stepped out of their hiding place to observe him briefly. His shoulder was pierced by an Israeli quadcopter, and his heart was lodged in his, killing him. He left behind hungry nieces and nephews and a grieving widow.
There are uncountable other stories that will never be made public, all of which are equally painful and heartbreaking.
These incidents have been referred to as “aid massacres,” according to the Gaza-based ministry of health. They are referred to as war crimes by legal experts. They are, in fact, “hunger games.”
People are affected by hunger. It tests the soul as well, not just weakening the body. It causes the most fundamental instincts to be unleashed, undermining trust and mutual respect.
The occupier is aware of this and uses it to bolster its position.
UNRWA, the United Nations organization for Palestinian refugees, was viciously attacked and banned by it.
Organization and fairness were UNRWA’s aid distribution system as examples. Through a thorough, honest process, each family that had an ID card could receive aid from the agency. The most vulnerable people, such as widows, orphans, elderly people, and disabled people, received priority, ensuring that those who needed it most first, were first.
Because of its system’s emphasis on order, dignity, and respect for human life, it reduced the chance of deadly stampedes and violent clashes.
None of that is what the occupier wants.
In order to provide aid in the form of “hunger games,” it was created.
These are plotted traps that create chaos and disorder, causing division between Palestinians and breaking up the social order and solidarity that sustains Palestinian unity.
Another Israeli lie that was widely believed was that Israel and the GHF denied that there were any large-scale killings taking place at the aid centers for a month. Israeli media reports that Israeli soldiers were instructed to fire at Palestinian aid distribution centers by the Israeli government.
Will the world now accept our ideas? Will it take any action?
Not fiction, what is happening in Gaza. It’s not a horror film, either. Both the genocide they are involved in and the “hunger games” are real. The world’s willingness to create such a dystopia is damning evidence of its own humanity losing.
The 80-year-old made announcing late on Saturday that he was interested in “running for president” of his National Resistance Movement (NRM) party.
Museveni seized control of the country in 1986 following a five-year civil war, and he has remained in power ever since.
Museveni’s term and age restrictions can now be extended thanks to the NRM’s constitutional amendments, which were amended twice.
He is accused of using state support and dissenting accounts to stifle opposition and bolster his position of authority, which he denies.
Museveni stated that he wants to see re-election in order to “transform Uganda into a $500 billion economy in the next five years.” The country’s current gross domestic product, in the eyes of the government, is just under $66 billion.
In January, Ugandans will elect a president and parliamentarians.
Opposition leader Bobi Wine, a former pop star turned politician by the name Robert Kyagulanyi, has confirmed that he will run again. The 2021 results were disqualified by Win because of widespread fraud, ballot tampering, and security forces’ intimidation.
Following the Supreme Court’s ruling in January, the court’s decision to allow military courts to try civilians has caused tensions in recent months.
Rights groups and opposition figures claimed the change was a means of intimidating and demonizing critics, despite the government’s insistence that it was necessary to combat threats to national security.
Uganda has used military courts for prosecution of opposition figures and critics of the government for years.
Wine was accused of unlawfully possessing firearms in a military court in 2018. Later, the charges were dropped.
Human Rights Watch has criticised Uganda’s military courts for breaking international standards for judicial independence and fairness.

Hunkarin claimed in his statement that he had never brought drugs to Nigeria but had only ever trafficked them from Brazil to Ethiopia while playing professional football there.
The NDLEA also made it known that an Amen Okoro Godstime, a businessman from Europe, was detained on June 27 by its agents at the Lagos airport trying to traffic 5, 000 tramadol 225mg pills that were being sold as known malaria medications like Lonart, Amatem, and Aluktem to Spain.
He was allegedly intercepted on a Royal Air Maroc flight through Casablanca while he was clearing the departure hall of Terminal 2 of the airport.
According to the statement, Okoro, who runs a freight and logistics company between Europe and Nigeria, said he would take a train to France where he lives and then send the tramadol consignment to Italy for retailing.
Ezenwaka Chibuzor Emmanuel, a bar attendant from Maputo, Mozambique, was intercepted by the NDLEA agents at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport (AIIA) Enugu.
According to the report, a search of his luggage turned up three cardboard-sized cocaine packages weighing 3.050 kilograms and methamphetamine that were both in his possession.
The 38-year-old suspect was traveling from Johannesburg, South Africa, via Addis Ababa, Ethiopia when he was interrogated and subjected to a search that resulted in the discovery of the illicit drugs contained in the bedsheets in his bags.
