1 week ago ‘One of the oldest urban centres on the planet’: Gaza’s rich history in ruins

The territory’s ancient heritage has too often been ignored. As we mourn incalculable human losses, learning about its past can help us better understand the presentAs a ceasefire brings a measure of peace to the Dresden-like hellscape that Gaza has become, it is time to take stock of all that has been lost. The human cost of what the UN commission of inquiry recognises as a genocide is of course incalculable, but fewer are aware of how much rich history and archaeology has also been destroyed in these horrific months. This is bolstered by the widespread assumption that Gaza was little more than a huge refugee camp built on a recently settled portion of desert. That is quite wrong.

3 w. ago ‘I have searched and searched for help’: the Sudanese women left alone to live hand to mouth in Chad’s desert camps

As the war in Sudan pushes more people across the border, malnutrition is on the rise in Chad’s remote settlements where 86% of the refugees are women and childrenFor hours, jolting along the waterlogged dirt track to the hospital, 18-year-old Makka Ibraheem Mohammed held on tight to her seat and focused on stopping herself vomiting. She was in labour, in extreme pain after her uterus ruptured, but was now being tossed around in the ambulance that jumped along the dips and bumps of the road through the Chadian desert.Most of the 878,000 Sudanese refugees who have fled to Chad since 2023, living hand to mouth in this harsh landscape, are women.
