Infertility After the War: Is Gaza Facing a Reproductive Health Crisis?

The consequences of war are often measured in the number of people killed, the scale of destruction, and the hospitals forced out of service. But in Gaza, another crisis is unfolding quietly – one whose consequences may extend for decades: a reproductive health crisis. Beyond the immediate injuries of war, thousands are living through conditions that may affect their ability to conceive and build families. Yet this issue receives little attention compared with the other dimensions of Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe. Uncertain futures For Palestinians, having children has long represented continuity, hope, and life. But war does not only kill people; it…

Miliband slammed for “constructive” call with Gideon Sa’ar amid Gaza holocaust

Ed Miliband, the new Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in Burnham’s cabinet, was shamed for taking part in a ‘constructive’ call with Israeli minister Gideon Sa’ar and for Miliband’s ongoing denial of the Gaza holocaust. Today I had a frank and constructive first call with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar pic.twitter.com/48pIdbvwXt — Ed Miliband (@Ed_Miliband) August 11, 2026 Miliband said that he told Israel it “must crack down on settler violence and must immediately end blockages on aid into Gaza,” but continued to deny the genocide in Gaza.

Palestinian expert: Netanyahu’s Gaza plan rejection is ‘election stunt’

The brilliant Palestinian political analyst Muhammad Shehada has dismissed Benjamin Netanyahu’s rejection of Donald Trump’s ‘peace plan‘ as merely an “election stunt”. The plan calls for the continuation of Hamas disarmament, which the resistance group has agreed to do. Yet the land theft project that goes under the name ‘Israel’ has rejected this. Shehada says that Netanyahu: …saying no to disarming Hamas [reveals] that genociding Gaza was never about disarming Hamas. This has always been obvious to anyone listening to the land thieves who act out the role of politicians in the ‘Israeli’ Knesset. They have openly spoken of their desire…

Gaza holocaust continues during another weekend of Zionist atrocities

So-called ‘Israel’ continued to livestream the extermination of an entire people over the weekend, with a massive string of atrocities across Gaza. On Saturday 1 August, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) targeted warehouses used for storing medicines at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. According to Drop Site News, the buildings contained “critical supplies and equipment for kidney dialysis”. Referencing Zionist policies that severely restrict aid to Gaza, hospital director, Raed Hussein, said “supplies have never been fully provided” over the past three years of genocide. He said any that do get in arrive “in a limited and reduced manner”. Now,…

Israel has spent over $1bn on propaganda since it began Gaza genocide

Israel has spent more than a billion US dollars on ‘hasbara’ — foreign influence — campaigns since 7 October 2023, according to new analysis by the Quincy Institute. The figure is calculated from US ‘foreign agent’ registration and represents direct spending by the colony. Indirect spending through pro-Israel groups and billionaires is not included. In the introduction to its paper, the institute says that it used: FARA data, Israeli government procurement documents, and interviews with dozens of sources to trace the size and effects of this shift. But the paper notes that even the $1 billion figure likely falls far short…

Israel bombs Gaza family’s tent, killing children – after bombing their home

The occupation has murdered children of the Al Balawi family overnight in Gaza. Israel is continuing to violate the supposed ‘ceasefire’ nightly. The family’s tent in Gaza City was bombed, killing several children and severely wounding others – among multiple such bombings around midnight. Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat posted a graphic series of images depicting the bodies of murdered children covered in blood – viewer discretion is advised. Gaza pummelled by terror state This is not the first time that the family’s children have been targeted by the colonial occupier. The IOF bombed their home in southern Gaza City eight months…

Everything’s a target: Israel’s war on reproductive health in Gaza

The destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system has placed reproductive health under unprecedented threat. Israel has decimated hospitals and healthcare infrastructure, and restricted access to reproductive and maternal care. This has left Palestinian women without the support they need to sustain life. The war on reproductive health has been allowed to continue under the farcical “ceasefire” announced in October 2025. Meanwhile, women have nowhere to turn. Reproductive violence Pregnant women are moving between overcrowded shelters, sleeping in tents, or damaged buildings. Nothing is guaranteed, not even their next meal or when they may go into labour, and epidurals are largely unavailable. Ultimately,…

Irish government disgraces itself with refusal of Gaza study visas

In a move that is as farcical as it is shameful, Irish immigration authorities have refused large numbers of study visas for students from Gaza seeking to enrol at universities. RTÉ say that: …upwards of 20 Gazan students, who have all been accepted onto fully funded scholarships for third-level courses, have had their visa applications turned down by Irish immigration authorities. Others are awaiting outcomes. The farce lies in the nature of the refusal letters, which read like a sort of cruel joke. RTÉ reports the reasons given for refusing applications to study include: …not supplying original bank statements, a failure…

The Metropolitan Police Service has reversed its decision to close a war crimes probe into UK nationals who fought for Israel amid the Gaza genocide, it can be revealed. The 240-page referral was first submitted by the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC) and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) in August 2025. It alleged that ten UK nationals – including dual citizens – had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity while fighting for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF)…

Wes Streeting said Israel was committing war crimes. What now?

Andy Burnham’s new defence secretary is now responsible for the military treaty with a country he believes exhibits “rogue state behaviour” Late last July, as a famine unfolded in Gaza and Israeli settler attacks intensified in the West Bank, Wes Streeting texted a friend shortly before midnight. “Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes,” the then health secretary told Peter Mandelson over WhatsApp.“Their government talks the languages of ethnic cleansing and I have met with our own medics out there who describe the most chilling and distressing scenes of calculated brutality against women and children.”In messages that Streeting released earlier…

IOF bombs funeral in Gaza

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) has just bombed a funeral in the Nuseirat camp in Gaza. At least eight people were slaughtered and more than 20 others wounded, though at the time of Mosab Abu Toha’s post, the known death toll was five. IOF use the Nuseirat camp as a slaughter camp The Nuseirat refugee camp has repeatedly been the scene of Israeli atrocities. These include the murder of 276 civilians and the wounding of almost 700 during Israel’s US-assisted ‘rescue mission’ in 2024. Four ‘hostages’ were rescued, including Noa Argamani. Argamani later said she had been in far more danger…

Trump’s Gaza peace plan shrinks amid fears of new Israeli offensive

Trump and his shambolic Board of Peace (BoP) has discarded its recovery plan for Gaza, opting instead for a “tiny pilot scheme” amid fears of a “new all-out offensive before Israeli elections,” the Guardian reported. The so-called ceasefire hasn’t stopped Israel’s daily bombardment of Gaza. As recently as 16 July, Israeli forces were again striking Palestinians huddled inside tents. Israel is maniacally bombing Palestinians in tattered tents again tonight. Every. Single. Day. Not a single shot from Hamas for more than 10 months & Israel has killed more than a thousand Palestinians since — including more than 200 children. pic.twitter.com/DWzA42MAyq —…

The Israeli occupation’s genocide in Gaza has inflicted unprecedented devastation on the enclave’s agricultural sector

According to a statement from the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture Israel have inflicted “unprecedented devastation” on Gaza. In the almost three years since the genocide began Israel have repeatedly carried out damage to Palestinian infrastructure. Gaza: agricultural losses estimated in the billions Damage exceeded 85 percent across most agricultural sub-sectors, resulting in a near total collapse of the agricultural production system. Losses were estimated to be worth around £2.6 billion. More than 87 percent of agricultural land used for growing crops was damaged, so local food production severely declined, Around 8700 agricultural water wells were also rendered inoperable. The agricultural irrigation…

WATCH: Israel again mocks concept of ‘ceasefire’ with 4 strikes on Gaza

Israel has again shown its contempt for the very idea of a ceasefire, with at least four murderous airstrikes on Gaza City today. Last week, the occupation murdered the director of Egypt’s aid mission to Gaza, in evident retaliation for the Egyptian football team manager’s show of solidarity with Palestine. On Sunday 12 July 2026, Israel hit a home in a densely-populated civilian area of Gaza City with at least four missiles in quick succession: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hamdan Dahdouh (@hamdaneldahdouh) Israel — One street, three bombings And in a further horrifying display of the…

Mothin Ali calls Burnham a ‘coward’ over Gaza genocide stance

On 9 July, Andy Burnham issued a statement regarding ‘Labour’s stance on Gaza‘. In it, our incoming PM refused to call Israel’s actions a genocide, and did little to differentiate his position from that of Keir Starmer. Accordingly, Canary writer Joe Glenton described the statement as “milquetoast sop“. And he wasn’t the only one to notice Burnham is trying to pull the wool over our eyes: @andyburnham is a coward. He apologised for the position this Labour Government has taken on Palestine but He won’t call it a Genocide, he hides behind international law. He won’t commit to Sanctioning Israel.He won’t…

Israel lobby groups demand Burnham roll back even milksop Gaza comments

Israel lobby groups wasted no time in demanding Andy Burnham pull back from even his watery comments on Israel’s crimes in Gaza. Burnham refused last week to call the genocide a genocide. Instead, he said Labour “didn’t get right” its response. That would be Keir Starmer endorsing Israel’s crimes against humanity by cutting off fuel and water to the besieged open-air concentration camp. And ordering the RAF to provide active support for the slaughter of Palestinians — and almost certainly UK aid workers. And Burnham dared to suggest — after almost three years of slaughter, starvation, targeting of children, hospitals, schools,…

Israel has responded to the Egyptian football team manager’s comments of support for Gaza by murdering Palestinian Mohamed Fawaz al-Wahidi — Egypt’s organiser of World Cup match screenings in Gaza. The 7 July 2026 murder came just before Egypt’s match against Argentina, where many believe the Egyptians were cheated out of a historic win. Israel kills Palestinian aid worker Al-Wahidi was the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza’s public relations director. He had organised screenings of World Cup matches for Palestinians as a small glimmer of relief from their suffering under Israeli genocide, starvation and oppression.

In a show of commitment to ceasefire, Hamas announces dissolution of its civilian governing body in Gaza

The Islamic Resistance Movement, also known as Hamas, has governed the Gaza Strip since 2007, following its takeover from the Palestinian Authority. Over the years, Hamas has established a range of governmental institutions responsible for providing public services, maintaining internal security and coordinating emergency responses during periods of conflict. Hamas has dissolved its civilian governing body in Gaza Among these institutions was the Government Emergency Committee. This has played a central role in coordinating humanitarian assistance, restoring essential services, managing civil defence efforts and supporting government ministries during times of crisis. The committee was intended to ensure continuity of governance and aid…
