Today, a 29-day-old baby died at Nasser hospital, southern Gaza, Palestine, just two hours after arriving at the MSF- supported paediatric ward in the early hours of the morning. Despite treatment efforts, he could not be saved. According to the Ministry of Health, he died from hypothermia.

"Children are losing their lives because they lack the most basic items for survival. Babies are arriving to the hospital cold, with near-death vital signs: even our best efforts are not enough. They say the war has ended, but people are still having to fight for their lives," says Bilal Abu Saada-Nursing Team Supervisor at Nasser Hospital.

The harsh winter weather combined with the already dire living conditions is increasing health risks and MSF teams are consistently seeing high rates of respiratory infections - something which will only increase throughout winter and is particularly dangerous for children under five-years old

As Gaza is battered by heavy rains and storms, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians continue to struggle in flooded and broken makeshift tents. MSF calls on Israeli authorities to urgently allow a massive scale up of aid into the Strip.

Stuart Benson doesn't mention that Carney has re-organized his Cabinet Committees to replace "Reconciliation" Committee with a "Building Canada Committee" to fit with Bill C-5 the "One Economy Act", where rights are downplayed & Indigenous programs emphasis as social policy! 1/2

The Liberal’s budget appears to have passed thanks to two abstentions from NDP MP Gord Johns and Lori Idlout—the other five NDP MPs voted Nay—and a Yea vote from Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, with a final vote of 170 to 168.

It’s time to rethink what it means to be a worker.

Work isn’t just a nine-to-five job — it’s care work, community work, survival work. It’s the unpaid labour that keeps families together, the migrant labour that keeps economies running, and the daily struggle of people experiencing homelessness who work tirelessly just to make it through another day.

Our systems have been built to value profit over people, ignoring the countless forms of work that sustain our society. If we truly believe in dignity for all, then every kind of work, paid or unpaid, must be recognized, respected, and supported with fair wages, protections, and a guaranteed livable basic income.

But we also need to remember: a person is more than their productivity. Our worth is not defined by how much we produce or how profitable we are to an employer. We are human beings, deserving of care, rest, joy, and security simply because we exist. These are rights that are protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada.

Because every person who contributes to our collective wellbeing is a worker. And every worker, every human being, deserves justice and dignity beyond the narrow limits of capitalism.

⚡️Breaking: CNN’s Van Jones is among 16 mainstream journalists—including two New York Times reporters—serving as mentors in a new journalism fellowship explicitly created to help Israel win its “information war.”

Drop Site’s Sharif Abdel Kouddous reports that Jacki Karsh, who launched the fellowship after October 7, said it was her way to “shift the narrative” in Israel’s favor, citing a call to fight “on the battlegrounds of academia, law, business, media” as inspiration. Karsh has praised the IDF as “the most moral army in the world” and dismissed Gaza’s casualty figures. NYT mentors include former Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Rudoren and Sharon Otterman, who covers campus protests.

The fellowship claims to be “resolutely nonpartisan” though its founder has never expressed sympathy for the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed—including 20,000 children—in what UN officials and a vast majority of genocide scholars characterize as genocide.

Gaza Shames Many by Mazin Qumsiyeh

Gaza, O Gaza, your lessons are plain,
You strip the masks from faces of the vain.
Through suffering deep and martyr’s last breath,
You shame the merchants of war, racism, and death.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Two images this morning:

1.The last Flotilla vessel close to Gaza.

2.Italy last night: just one of the many countries where the People took the street until late, STANDING TOGETHER for Palestine.

Palestine sees us, and knows she is not alone.

The flotilla tracker shows that the Mikeno ship is not moving.

The Marinette ship appears to still be sailing without interruption.

It has yet to be confirmed whether this is the result of an interception.

Keep speaking up for the Global Sumud Flotilla — your voice is their shield!
