Famine Unfolding Across Gaza, Says Global Hunger Monitor
Global Hunger Monitor reports that famine is spreading throughout Gaza. According to a new report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global organization that monitors hunger, a humanitarian crisis is engulfing Gaza as famine conditions spread throughout the territory. For hundreds of thousands of civilians, widespread malnutrition, hunger, and starvation are now a dire reality, according to the report, which warns that large segments of the population in Gaza are experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity. The IPC, which classifies food insecurity into five phases—ranging from minimal to famine—has placed much of Gaza in Phase 5: Catastrophe/Famine. Extreme hunger, acute malnutrition, and excessive mortality are all indicators of this phase. The situation, the IPC notes, is unprecedented in modern history in terms of speed, scale, and severity.

Nudism and Nazism: What Do They Have in Common?
The forest stood still that summer morning. Only the rustling of pine needles and the distant murmur of a stream broke the silence. A small group of men and women walked slowly along a narrow path, almost invisible amid the vegetation. No one spoke. Their eyes searched the ground, their faces tense with the fear of being discovered.

Versace’s legacy is more than just daring dresses
London (CNN) -From bondage styles to safety pinned dresses, daring party frocks are widely considered to be the key protagonists of Gianni Versace’s sartorial legacy. But the late Italian fashion designer was also responsible for some of the most majestic silk shirts of the 1990s, and his close friend Elton John owned one in every print. “They’re just works of art,” shared the acclaimed singer-songwriter in a promotional video for auction house Christie’s last year, characterizing his deep affection for Versace’s patterns. “I never wore half of them, I just wanted to hang them. It was like an art installation with shirts, and it looked so beautiful.”

WHEN PEACE WAS A CRIME:
Bound by Chains, Freed by Conviction: The Twin Souls of Bacha Khan and Nelson Mandela In the blood-soaked pages of colonial history, few names shimmer with the unbroken dignity of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan and Nelson Mandela, two giants of resistance who lived oceans apart but suffered under the same sky of oppression. One emerged from the rugged valleys of the North-West Frontier, the other from the gold-laden mines of South Africa yet both walked the same agonizing path: a path carved by prison bars, forged by pain, and lit only by the flickering torch of justice.
