A new Israeli law banning the U.N. Palestinian relief agency from operating in its territory is due to come into effect in January, and it could deny thousands of people in Gaza their main source of aid. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/13/world/hunger-gaza-israel-unrwa-ban/ #worldnews #unrwa #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #iran #lebanon #hezbollah #hunger #aid #refugees

Soaring grocery prices and the changing environmetn

A reasonable warming (it was a misspelling of warning but I decided to keep it) - but I am bemused by the suggestion/plea that Economists need a solution. I think that economists are a big part of the problem, and their ‘group think’ exacerbates it.

Come the revolution who do you want to be the first up against the wall? And the second and….

„After over a year of war in Gaza, Palestinian fishermen gather along the coastline, desperately casting their nets in hopes of catching enough for their families amid widespread hunger.

Since Israel began a military onslaught (…), Israeli restrictions(…) have made life almost impossible for fishermen, who no longer sail out to sea and instead must stay by the shore.“

The waste of a staggering 1.3 billion tonnes of food per year is not only causing major economic losses but also wreaking significant harm on the natural resources that humanity relies upon to feed itself, says a new FAO report.

Food Wastage Footprint: Impacts on Natural Resources is the first study to analyze the impacts of global food wastage from an environmental perspective, looking specifically at its consequences for the climate, water and land use, and biodiversity.

Among its key findings: Each year, food that is produced but not eaten guzzles up a volume of water equivalent to the annual flow of Russia's Volga River and is responsible for adding 3.3 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases to the planet's atmosphere.

And beyond its environmental impacts, the direct economic consequences to producers of food wastage (excluding fish and seafood) run to the tune of $750 billion annually, FAO's report estimates.

"All of us - farmers and fishers; food processors and supermarkets; local and national governments; individual consumers -- must make changes at every link of the human food chain to prevent food wastage from happening in the first place, and re-use or recycle it when we can't," said FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva.

"We simply cannot allow one-third of all the food we produce to go to waste or be lost because of inappropriate practices, when 870 million people go hungry every day," he added.
