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.

Their eyes searched the ground, their faces tense with the fear of being discovered.

The Eternal Light: How One Bulb Outshone Time
In a quiet firehouse in Livermore, California, there’s a light that refuses to die. It glows faintly, not the harsh white glare of a modern LED, but a warm, amber halo... like the last ember in a dying fire. It’s been glowing like that for over a century, long enough to watch the world change in ways no one in 1901 could have imagined. Presidents have risen and fallen. Nations have gone to war. We’ve split the atom, walked on the moon, and unleashed smartphones into our pockets. And through all of it, in that unassuming fire station, a single fragile bulb just… keeps… burning.
