Gaza has been at risk of famine for months- experts. Here's why they haven't declared one
GENEVA (Reuters) -The Norwegian Refugee Council told Reuters on Tuesday its aid stocks are completely depleted in Gaza, with some of its staff now starving, and accused Israel of paralysing its work. "Our last tent, our last food parcel, our last relief items have been distributed. There is nothing left," Jan Egeland, the secretary general of the council told Reuters in an interview via video link from Oslo. The council's comments echo those made earlier on Tuesday by the head of the Palestinian refugee agency, who said UNRWA's staff were fainting on the job from hunger and exhaustion. No aid supplies left and staff are starving in Gaza, says Norwegian Refugee Council -

Gaza has been at risk of famine for months- experts. Here's why they haven't declared one
Gaza poses a major challenge for experts because Israel severely limits access to the territory, making it difficult and in some cases impossible to gather data. The leading international authority on food crises is the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC, first set up in 2004 during the famine in Somalia. It includes more than a dozen U.N. agencies, aid groups, governments and other bodies. While the IPC says it is the “primary mechanism” used by the international community to conclude whether a famine is happening or projected, it typically doesn’t make such a declaration itself. Famine declarations usually come from the U.N. or governments. Gaza has been at risk of famine for months, experts say. Here's why they haven't declared one -

Report Thai Military Court's Verdict on Cadet's Death Sparks Outrage
Picture courtesy of Thai Rath BANGKOK - The Supreme Military Court has delivered its final verdict on the tragic 2017 death of army cadet Phakaphong "Mei" Tanyakan. Two senior cadets were found guilty of assaulting him, resulting in fines of 15,000 baht (approx. £354) each and suspended sentences of four months and 16 days. The sentences are suspended for two years, allowing them to continue their military careers. Identified as Pipat and Phumipat, the cadets avoided further punishment due to their clean records. The court argued that their continued service would be more beneficial. Phakaphong’s death followed alleged “disciplinary punishment,” sparking public outcry over the lack of transparency. The case was tried under military jurisdiction, with the initial trial at the Military Court of First Instance in 2018 and 2019. Assault charges were upheld, but due to insufficient eyewitnesses, other charges were dismissed. The Court of Appeal later confirmed portions of this decision. The Supreme Military Court's ruling has not quelled public discontent. Phakaphong's mother, Mrs Sukanya, has openly questioned the judgement, pointing out the cadets’ responsibility to uphold the law. She highlighted the absence of any apology from the defendants, adding to her distress and mistrust. Ms. Sukanya expressed her disbelief in the justice system, questioning the integrity of the involved officials and their capacity to serve the nation justly. She posed critical questions about their future roles and responsibilities if they are already breaking laws while in training positions, reported Bangkok Post. The initial case included a third defendant, 2nd Lt Piyapong, whose indictment was dismissed by the court of first instance. This aspect of the case further amplifies concerns about accountability within military ranks. The verdict raises important questions about military legal systems and the implications of allowing individuals who break rules to remain within the ranks. The suspended sentences and the lack of remorse from those responsible continue to fuel the conversation around justice for Phakaphong’s grieving family. Public attention remains on how such cases are handled and whether military protocols sufficiently deter similar incidents in the future. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-07-23
