BREAKING: A new UN report finds that Israel’s assault on Gaza - with the destruction of health care, education, infrastructure, even the banking system - has erased 69 years of human development, marking the worst economic collapse ever recorded.
This is not war: it is genocide.
10,000 Teachers in State House;10,000 KSh per Teacher being the known handout adds up to Ksh 100 Million in one day--Tax-Payers money in plain sight. For how long will Kenyans take this open bribery in silence??
@StandardKenya Implementing the constitution starts by following court orders, seeking Public approval before borrowing, leasing or doing anything, protecting the Bill of Rights. You don't need Ksh 18B to follow the law. First of all you are holding an unconstitutional office.
I have no words anymore.
States. Must. Intervene.
This isn’t genius, it’s leadership.
1. Impose an arms embargo and cut trade.
2. Break the blockade with your humanitarian navies.
3. Send a protective presence to Palestine to ensure Israel dismantles its occupation NOW.
Strategic litigation goes beyond individual cases. It aims to clarify, enforce, or challenge legal standards and policies that violate human rights, and it is a powerful tool for public awareness and systemic reform

@drtlaleng shares this guide designed to support lawyers, advocacy practitioners,
activists, and judges by offering practical tools to challenge harmful laws, seek accountability, and contribute to
progressive legal and social transformation. #SRHRLitigation#RightToHealth
The UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health’s @drtlaleng asserts that
“reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social
well-being and not merely the absence of diseases.”
Congrats on this very timely guide.
#SRHRLitigation#RightToHealth
SRHR is an integral element of the right to health, yet many obstacles
exist, are interrelated and entrenched, operating at different levels: in
clinical care, at the level of health systems, and in the underlying
determinants of health.#SRHRLitigation#RightToHealth
@dammiedammie35 Toke Makinwa is having a child that’s a beautiful thing. Stop using religion to shame her or question her choices. Her journey is hers. God doesn’t need your permission to bless someone.
UEFA didn’t even mention Israel today — just said “please don’t kill kids and civilians” — and Israelis are already having meltdowns online.
That’s guilt.
“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in three kilos of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a limit on food? I’ve worked in many places with extreme hunger, but what’s so jarring in this context is how cruel it is, how deliberate. I was in Gaza for two months; there’s no way to describe the horror of what’s happening. And I say this as a pediatric ICU doctor who sees children die as part of my work. Among our own staff we have doctors and nurses who are trying to treat patients while hungry, exhausted. They’re living in tents. Some of them have lost fifteen, twenty members of their families. In the hospital there are kids maimed by airstrikes: missing arms, missing legs, third degree burns. Often there’s not enough pain medication. But the children are not screaming about the pain, they’re screaming: ‘I’m hungry! I’m hungry!” I hate to only focus on the kids, because nobody should be starving. But the kids, it just haunts you in a different way. When my two months were finished, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced in nearly twenty years of humanitarian assignments. But I felt ashamed. Ashamed to leave my Palestinian colleagues, who were some of the most beautiful and compassionate people that I’ve ever met. I was ashamed as an American, as a human being, that we’ve been unable to stop something that is so clearly a genocide. I remember when our bus pulled out of the buffer zone. Out the window on one side I could see Rafah, which was nothing but rubble. On the other side was lush, green Israel. When we exited the gate, the first thing I saw was a group of Israeli soldiers, sitting at a table, eating lunch. I’ve never felt so nauseous seeing a table full of food.”

Aqsa Durrani is a pediatric doctor and board member of Doctors Without Borders USA, with nearly twenty years of experience in humanitarian projects. During our interview Aqsa repeatedly expressed a desire to center the voices of her Palestinian colleagues. To this end I’ve spent the past week collecting stories from the Palestinian staff of Doctors Without Borders in Gaza. I will be sharing these stories over the next several days. I’m so grateful for the time that these people gave me; they were sleepless, hungry, traumatized, and often working 24-hour shifts. Because of the unreliable internet connection their images are sometimes grainy. Their words, however, will be crystal clear.
