Reports tonight that, following unprecedented intl pressure, Israel is going to facilitate a dramatic increase in aid, water supply, and aid-drop food by Israeli airforce (that has not happened before).
For many in Gaza on the brink of death, this may prove too little too late.

Do sanction threats work? We find that threats—even if credibly backed—do not increase support for concessions in the target public (Turkiye case). Plus, positive inducements provoke backlash in some groups, highlighting coercive diplomacy’s limits

This would mean a figure roughly equivalent to the military and civilian casualties in WWI.
Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030.
Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

Hundreds of former Afghan commandos & their families were refused relocation by a UK Special Forces officer with possible links to a war crimes enquiry where they could’ve been witnesses.
At least five were later murdered by the Taliban.
The MoD then lied about this to Parliament & the courts.

One Special Forces officer blocked 1,585 Afghans from settling in UK
Documents shown to court by MoD show the officer rejected every application referred to him in the summer of 2023.
