According to a study published in The Lancet, life expectancy at birth in Gaza declined by almost 35 years between October 2023 and September 2024, before the current phase of acute famine. A harrowing result of the genocide. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Life expectancy losses in the Gaza Strip during the period October, 2023, to September, 2024
Our approach to estimating life expectancy losses in this study is conservative as it ignores the indirect effect of the war on mortality. Even ignoring this indirect effect, results show that the ong...

There’s a TON of evidence that bigger, higher vehicles are far more likely to kill somone they hit, crushing vital organs & pushing victims under.

But never forget, their weight, height & sightlines also make it far more likely that they’ll hit someone in the first place.

Genocide. Mary Robinson calls it as it is
Former Irish President (and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights) says it is her view that genocide is being committed by Israel - she’s called for sanctions and a suspension of arms trade with Israel.

Why having a purpose in life is bullshit.
Kate Forster sent this message to a friend grappling with life after cancer.
Her words could resonate with anyone expecting their career to provide them with purpose & fulfilment and feeling a bit of a failure at life if it doesn’t.
