Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israel Says It Will Allow Limited Food into Gaza as Over 2 Million Palestinians Face Famine

HeadlineMay 19, 2025

On Sunday, Israel announced it would begin allowing what it called a “basic amount of food” into Gaza following an 11-week blockade on all food, aid and medicine. Last week, a key hunger monitor warned one in five Palestinians in Gaza are facing starvation.

In more news on Gaza, NBC News reports the Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently remove 1 million Palestinians from Gaza and transfer them to Libya. On Friday, U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk said Israel’s actions in Gaza are “tantamount to ethnic cleansing.”
