In #Gaza, winter rains are falling, bringing new hardships.
Flooded streets and soaked tents are making already dire living conditions even more dangerous.
Cold, overcrowded, unsanitary environments heighten the risk of illness.
This suffering could be prevented by unhindered humanitarian aid.

« As the cradle of the welfare state, Europe should be leading on welfare innovation. It should be investing in what makes societies worth defending: affordable housing, quality education, resilient local government and good healthcare. »
OPINION: When NATO leaders proposed raising defense spending to 5 percent of GDP, only Spain questioned the wisdom of such a shift.
But in the shadow of war and insecurity, we should be asking: Is militarization the only form of defense Europe needs?

Europe must choose: Invest in fear or in the future
Ramping up military budgets in the face of flatlining social spending is a risky trade-off.

People are once again forced to be displaced in #Gaza by Israeli Authorities orders.
They have nowhere to go.
🚫 No one is safe in Gaza.
🚫 No place is safe in Gaza.
🚫 Not aid workers, not medical workers, not UN staff.
Over 650 days of relentless killings, destruction, and despair.

Those who have Trump’s ear are far more likely to push Trump’s interests in Europe, rather than European interests in the US. Instead of worrying about Trump, Europe would do best to stand together and worry more about itself.

As Trump enters the fray, the danger is that a nationalist Europe will fragment, not stick together | Nathalie Tocci
Rightwing leaders such as Meloni and Orbán set themselves up as Trump whisperers – but they only want to preserve their own interests, says Guardian Europe columnist Nathalie Tocci
