Very shocking images from #Gaza of starving children. UN reports 1 in 5 children is malnourished; a number have already died & more will unless occupiers allow full flow of humanitarian relief across border. Starvation of civilian population is a #warcrime https://t.co/xZHU1n7gOc

Dire warnings from #NZ Govt officials re risks of Regulatory Standards Bill, including “potential undermining & undercutting of intent of much of our legislation…. should the proposed bill and principles proceed in their current form”. Stop it now! https://t.co/oprsuiIFCG
