#Famine is already underway in #Gaza .

Jeremy Konyndyk - @refugeesintl president, former USAID - breaks down the hunger crisis:

“Unfettered humanitarian relief” is needed to mitigate a famine death toll in the tens of thousands.

Does the law barring US assistance to any country that restricts delivery of US humanitarian aid apply to #Israel in its #Gaza war?

Brian Finucane (@CrisisGroup) explains the law, its background, and how it should be applied today.

A 🧵 on today's horrifying The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report on famine in Gaza.

In my 25 years as a humanitarian this may be, pound for pound, the grimmest analysis I have ever seen.

All the more indefensible since the December projections made clear this was coming.

This is a characteristically thoughtful and timely analysis by Tom Dannenbaum.

Read his latest Just Security today on the starvation war crime in #Sudan , and then his analysis from October on the starvation war crime in #Gaza :

My latest Just Security. There is clear evidence of RSF & SAF starvation war crimes in Sudan. The results are catastrophic. Accountability & international pressure to facilitate humanitarian access and cease starvation crimes are needed. But ICC jurisdiction is complicated. 1/2

Excellent analysis by Rachel Kleinfeld on safeguarding faltering democracies globally and at home:

'The U.S. has been on a fast downward trajectory according to every international measure of #democracy . Its elected bodies are not playing their proper roles. Will the courts?'

Countries that have maintained their democracies have had courts that rose to the occasion to safeguard their constitutions or #RuleOfLaw .

Rachel Kleinfeld writes that, amid risks to #democracy globally, the US would do well to heed their lessons.
