Israel quickly denied the charge, accusing the IPC of “biased and self-interested sources originating from Hamas.”It's hard to identify the truth about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, but one thing is clear: the U.N. has worked to weaponize the famine narrative as part of its campaign against Israel and against the Israel/US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which supplanted much of the U.N.'s role in Gaza.To discuss this disturbing part of the equation, we are joined by Rich Goldberg. Rich is a senior advisor at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. He served in both Trump administrations, including on the White House National Security Council staff. He also spent a decade on Capitol Hill, as an aide to a U.S. House Member and U.S. Senator, where Rich worked on congressional oversight of U.N. Programs in the Middle East. CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorADAAM JAMES LEVIN-AREDDY - Executive ProducerMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

Late last week The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification or IPC, declared a famine in Gaza, warning that 41,000 children are at a heightened risk of death. The report said that the number of people facing – what they referred to as ‘emergency' conditions – is expected to rise to 1.14 million people, or around half of the total population of Gaza, which is currently about 2.1 million people.  Under IPC criteria, a famine can only be formally declared when three conditions are met: at least 20% of households face extreme food shortages, at least 30% are acutely malnourished, and two or more people per 10,000 die each day from hunger or hunger-related diseases. To talk about what is only the fifth declared famine in the last 15 years, Producer Max spoke with ChildFund CEO Josie Pagani, to discuss what New Zealand can do to immediately help the situation.

Baada ya miaka miwili ya vita katika Ukanda wa Gaza eneo la Palestina linalokaliwa kimabavu na Israel Ijumaa tarehe 22 Agosti Umoja wa Mataifa ukatangaza jambo baya zaidi, ripoti ya njaa duniani IPC ikathibitisha wananchi wa Gaza rasmi wana kabiliwa na baa la njaa.Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la mpango wa chakula duniani WFP ni moja kati ya mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa ambayo pamoja na hali ya vita yamekuwa yakitoa msaada wa chakula huko Gaza na wameeleza kwamba baa la njaa lazima likomeshwe kwa gharama yoyote ile. Kusitishwa kwa mapigano mara moja na kukomesha mzozo ni muhimu ili kuruhusu misaada kuweza kuingizwa  Gaza ili kuokoa maisha. Makala hii Leah Mushi anamuangazia mmoja wa watoto wanaokabiliwa na njaa

They claimed that Israel has a phenomenally low civilian-to-combatant casualty ratio, then Israel's own data proved that civilians comprise the vast majority of those killed by the IDF. They denied that Israel is starving Gaza, then the IPC came out with a report saying that Israel is starving Gaza. They tried to claim that the skeletal children we're seeing in Gaza looked that way because of pre-existing conditions, then the Israeli press published an extensive report showing that children with no pre-existing conditions are being starved. They tried to deny that Israeli soldiers were massacring civilians at aid sites, then the Israeli soldiers themselves told the Israeli press that they were being ordered to massacre civilians at aid sites. Never forget all the monsters who tried to gaslight you and convince you that you are crazy and hateful for saying these things are happening. Never, ever forgive them. Reading by Tim Foley.

Officials in Gaza say Israeli strikes and gunfire killed at least 33 people, including Palestinians sheltering in tents and seeking scarce food. It comes a day after the IPC declared that Gaza City is in the grips of a famine and projected that famine will spread to much of the rest of Gaza by the end of September.

The people of Northern Gaza are starving. That's according to an official declaration by a United Nations-backed group of experts, who comprise the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification or IPC. They say that famine has officially reached Gaza city and could soon reach other areas of the territory.Still, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has says there is no famine in Gaza, and that food shortages are the result of Hamas seizing aid shipments.Jean-Martin Bauer is the director of Food Security and Nutrition Analysis for the World Food Program. He explains how the ICP came to this conclusion and what the declaration means for the people facing starvation. For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Michael Levitt, with audio engineering by Hannah Gluvna.

The US has imposed steep tariffs on Brazilian goods. But instead of pressuring Brazil's government, the move may have backfired. Also, the UN-backed group IPC has declared a famine for more than half a million people in Gaza. And, the skeletal remains of more than 140 people have been unearthed at a mass grave in Sri Lanka. Plus, a town in Nova Scotia, Canada, expands a living shoreline designed to protect the community from climate-fueled storms.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.

A report by the internationally recognised body for determining global food insecurity has confirmed that there is now famine in Gaza City. The IPC warns that the dire situation is likely to expand to other parts of the territory by the end of next month - with half-a-million people in Gaza facing catastrophic conditions. Israel denies there is famine in the territory.Also in the programme: Spain's most famous architect on the path to sainthood; and the dinosaur with the 'eye-catching sail'.(File photo: Palestinians wait to receive food from a charity kitchen, in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, August 21, 2025.

Canada is taking the tariffs off goods from the United States that are covered by the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement. The prime minister says the move will push forward trade talks with the U.S.; the opposition leader calls it capitulation.And: The world's leading authority on food insecurity says there is famine in Gaza City. The UN backed IPC estimates a half a million Palestinians face starvation, destitution and death. Israel says — the numbers are wrong and there is no famine.Also: “All of our agents are busy helping other callers.” It's a phrase people trying to get help from the Canada Revenue Agency are hearing more and more.Plus: There are ten million salmon in the Fraser River this year — three times initial estimates, the FBI raids the home and office of former Trump adviser John Bolton, and more.

En el episodio de hoy, cubrimos una jornada intensa para los mercados y sectores clave:

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Andre Dos Santos y Eugenio Garibay analizan los datos de inflación de julio publicados hace apenas unos minutos, que muestran un IPC general estable, pero con una inflación subyacente que repunta  por encima de lo esperado. A partir de este punto, los conductores examinan qué categorías están impulsando los precios, desde bienes importados como ropa y muebles hasta servicios de vivienda, y cómo los recientes aranceles estadounidenses podrían estar comenzando a filtrarse en el índice. El debate se amplía para evaluar si el impacto arancelario todavía es parcial o si, como anticipan algunos economistas, se intensificará en los próximos meses, con implicaciones para el consumo, el crecimiento y la política monetaria de la Fed. Entre perspectivas de estancamiento económico y expectativas de inflación al alza, la conversación plantea el dilema central: ¿estamos ante un episodio transitorio de inflación de bienes o ante un ciclo más persistente que obligará a la Fed a replantear sus planes? 

Im abgesperrten Gazastreifen ereignet sich gerade das «Worst Case Szenario» einer Hungersnot, gemäss der Klassifikation für Ernährungssicherheit IPC.

UN-backed experts – the IPC - say the "worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out" in Gaza and that there is mounting evidence that widespread malnutrition is driving a rapid rise in hunger-related deaths among the 2.1 million Palestinians there. Aid worker Olga Cherevko shares what she's witnessed on the ground and Claudia is also joined by specialist Dr Marko Kerac to understand the health impacts of malnutrition and what interventions are urgently needed. In a world-first the UK have begun to rollout a vaccine for gonorrhoea, an infection that if left untreated can lead to infertility. We ask what impact this vaccine might have on a global level. The WHO has issued an urgent call for action to tackle mosquito-borne Chikungunya virus that has seen increasing cases since the beginning of the year. Professor Trudie Lang explains how the hardest hit countries are responding. Using virtual reality, scientists have discovered that our immune system kicks into action at just the sight of a sick person. Matt and Claudia look at the unusual methods used to understand how our brains prepare for contact with a pathogen.

A new IPC report has issued a dire warning that a famine is unfolding in Gaza, as roughly a third of its 2.1 million people have gone multiple days without food.

Developments in the Middle East have come thick and fast this week. On Tuesday the IPC - a UN-backed monitor group - warned that the "worst-case scenario of famine" is unfolding in the Gaza Strip. Britain, meanwhile, warned that unless Israel met a number of conditions before the UN General Assembly convenes next month, it would join France in recognising a State of Palestine. Meanwhile, the Israeli occupied West Bank has received little international attention since the war in Gaza began. Attacks by Jewish settlers on Palestinians living there are on the rise - up by 13 percent over the past year, says the UN. We examine attacks in one village and a town.Also in the programme: Why is Greece detaining all migrants arriving from North Africa?

Twee uit drie hongersnood-drumpels is in Gaza bereik wat lei tot laer voedselverbruik en erge wanvoeding. Dit is volgens die jongste Geïntegreerde Voedselsekerheid-faseklassifisering wat deur die Verenigde Nasies ondersteun word. Volgens die IPC is minstens 16 kinders jonger as vyf sedert middel-Julie in Gaza aan hongerverwante oorsake dood. Ross Smith van die Wêreld-voedselprogram sê meer as 20 000 kinders is sedert April vir wanvoeding behandel en meer as 3 000 is erg ondervoed:

Ísraelsher hefur drepið yfir 60.000 Palestínumenn á Gaza frá því að hann hóf árásir sínar 7. október 2024, til að hefna mannskæðrar hryðjuverkaárásar Hamas í Ísrael þann sama dag. Árásir hersins, bæði úr lofti og á jörðu niðri, hafa staðið linnulítið allar götur síðan, ef undan er skilið tveggja mánaða vopnahlé sem hófst 19. janúar og Ísraelar rufu 18. mars. Í mars lokuðu Ísraelar líka á nánast alla aðflutninga hjálpargagna til Gaza, hvort sem það voru matvæli, lækningavörur eða annað, sem þá höfðu reyndar margoft verið takmarkaðir áður. Vegna þessa hefur ítrekað verið varað við yfirvofandi hungursneyð á Gaza og í dag sendi alþjóðlegi samráðshópurinn IPC, sem fylgist skipulega með hungri í heiminum, frá sér skýrslu, þar sem ástandinu þar er lýst sem hungri í sinni verstu mögulegu mynd. Það er í raun lagt að jöfnu við hungursneyð, og matvælaáætlun Sameinuðu þjóðanna segir ástandið ekki eiga sér neina hliðstæðu á þessari öld og minna mest á hungursneyðina í Eþíópíu og Bíafra á síðustu öld. Skýrslur eins og sú sem IPC sendi frá sér í morgun leiða iðulega til þess að auðveldara verður fyrir alþjóðastofnanir og alþjóðleg hjálparsamtök að koma þeim sem svelta til hjálpar. Staðan á Gaza er aftur á móti töluvert frábrugðin því sem slíkar stofnanir og samtök eiga að venjast, segir Gísli Rafn Ólafsson, framkvæmdastjóri Rauða krossins á Íslandi, og Margrét Sigurðardóttir Blöndal barnalæknir segir hungursneyð alltaf bitna verst á þeim sem viðkvæmust eru fyrir, svo sem börnum og öldruðum.

Let's be real—every shop says they make quality parts. But doing it consistently? That's a whole different game. In this episode of the MakingChips Machine Shop MBA series, we break down what it actually takes to build—and sustain—excellence in quality control. From quoting parts you can actually make, to in-process inspections, to how your shipping paperwork could delay your cash flow, this episode covers the full spectrum. We dive into real-world strategies for building quality into every step of the process—from the first RFQ to the final shipment. We talk about ownership, team structure, risk-based IPC strategies, final inspections, and how a simple $100 reward created a culture of accountability on the shop floor. Whether you're building your first quality system or tightening up an already dialed-in process, this conversation will challenge you to think beyond just tolerances and calipers. You'll hear how quality isn't just about measuring—it's about quoting smarter, communicating across departments, and building a shop culture where excellence is everyone's job.

This Week in Pharmacy – July 25, 2025 Episode Summary: This week, we spotlight a growing but often overlooked threat to patient safety and healthcare integrity: the diversion of non-controlled substances. While most discussions around drug diversion focus on controlled substances, a troubling pattern has emerged involving medications not classified as controlled—yet still susceptible to misuse, theft, and exploitation. Our guest is Alan McGill, a Senior Supervisory Special Agent with over 30 years of investigative experience, including 23 years in law enforcement. Agent McGill is a nationally recognized expert on drug diversion, having trained thousands across healthcare and law enforcement. In this episode, he sheds light on how non-controlled substances are being diverted within healthcare settings, why it's happening more frequently, and what pharmacies and healthcare systems must do to detect and prevent it. We explore: Common myths about non-controlled medications and diversion risk Real-world cases and investigative red flags Compliance blind spots in retail and institutional pharmacy settings Actionable recommendations for pharmacists, techs, and healthcare leadership The role of education, oversight, and reporting in stopping this silent epidemic Plus, Agent McGill discusses his work with NASCSA and offers insight into how national policy and local practices can align to protect both patients and professionals. Don't miss this essential conversation for pharmacy leaders, compliance officers, and healthcare professionals committed to medication safety.

The electronics industry has reached a pivotal moment of transformation, and leading the charge is a familiar organization with a brand new identity. In this revealing conversation, John Mitchell, President and CEO, announces the rebrand of IPC as the Global Electronics Association – a name that finally captures the true essence of the organization."The name literally represents who we are and what we've been doing for some time," Mitchell explains, addressing how the former acronym – while iconic in standards and certification – created confusion among media, policymakers, and those less familiar with the association's evolution since its founding in 1957. The new identity boldly declares its worldwide reach while clarifying its comprehensive role across the entire electronics ecosystem.This rebrand represents more than just a name change. It signals a significant inflection point with substantial investments in global operations, advocacy, industry intelligence, and communications. With a refined vision of "better electronics for a better world" and a streamlined mission focused on supply chain resilience and industry growth, the association is positioning itself at the critical intersection of global and regional interests. As Mitchell notes, "A global supply chain is also made up of regional capabilities."What makes this transformation particularly powerful is how it embraces the connected nature of modern electronics. The Global Electronics Association now represents every segment of the supply chain – from semiconductor manufacturers to OEMs and everything in between – creating a unified voice for an industry that powers virtually every aspect of modern life. Ready to be part of this evolution?

Mexico's electronics has always been one of the main events at APEX, but this year they are doubling down! I explore the journey of IPC Mexico and their first-ever dedicated pavilion at Apex after 25 years of Mexican participation at the show. Lorena Villanueva, the dynamic leader of IPC Mexico, reveals their groundbreaking "three-helix" strategy that's reshaping their position in the Mexican electronics landscape. By forging deep partnerships between state governments (including aerospace hub Querétaro and automotive electronics center Guanajuato), academic institutions, and industry leaders, IPC Mexico has created a powerful ecosystem that drives education, innovation and growth throughout the region.What truly sets IPC Mexico apart is their authentic approach to community building. "We are huggers," Lorena explains, highlighting how cultural understanding and personal connections have been game-changers in their success. Rather than imposing American methodologies, IPC has empowered their Mexican team to develop strategies that resonate locally while maintaining global best practices. This cultural intelligence has transformed IPC from being perceived as a foreign entity to becoming a truly Mexican association in just the past 12 months.The future looks bright as IPC Mexico continues hosting regional events that facilitate networking and knowledge-sharing in comfortable, open environments. Their commitment to supporting both members and the broader industry demonstrates how international organizations can achieve global excellence through local relevance. Want to see how genuine connection and cultural understanding can transform an industry?

Europe's defense industrial base stands at a critical inflection point. Military experts warn we have just three to five years to strengthen Europe's defense capabilities before facing potentially devastating security challenges.I talked about these trends and the European response with Kitron Group's President and CEO, Peter Nilsson and Managing Director of Kitron AS, Hans Petter Thomassen, who participated in the “Implementation Dialogue on EU Defence” with Commissioner Andrius Kubilius, held in Brussels recently.The European Commission recognizes this urgency. They've initiated an "omnibus" bill aimed at helping defense manufacturers ramp up production quickly, bringing together industry leaders from major prime contractors to innovative startups developing cutting-edge battlefield technologies. But the challenges are enormous.Most electronics components, semiconductors, and specialized materials used in European defense systems come from outside the continent. While stockpiling strategic materials for several years provides a short-term solution, the long-term challenge of rebuilding secure supply chains remains daunting. For specialized materials like munitions chemicals, new production facilities require five years just for permitting and environmental studies.Regional responses vary dramatically across Europe. Countries feeling immediate threat – the Nordics, Baltics, Poland, and Germany – are leading with bold procurement initiatives and defense budgets approaching 5% of GDP. These long-term commitments provide the certainty manufacturers need for major capacity investments.Perhaps most exciting is the rise of defense technology startups across Eastern Europe. From drone innovations to laser targeting systems, these companies bring battlefield-ready solutions developed with real-world urgency. As one Ukrainian defense official emphasized: "A system you can provide me two years from now has zero interest – I need something for tomorrow."The war in Ukraine accelerates these trends, serving as both catalyst for action and testing ground for technologies. Defense donation programs deliver immediate battlefield feedback on new systems, strengthening the innovation cycle.Want to explore how these defense industry transformations might affect your business? Join us at the upcoming IPC defense event in Brussels on June 10th, where industry leaders will be tackling these critical challenges head-on.MADE IN EUROPE is an IPC Podcast, produced by SCOOPEMS@C-Level is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com) You can see video versions of all of the EMS@C-Level pods on our YouTube playlist.

Nearly half a million people in Gaza now face starvation, according to a new report from the IPC, the international panel of famine experts who advise the United Nations.For more than ten weeks, Israel has halted the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, to pressure Hamas to release Israeli hostages. Israel accuses Hamas of seizing aid, selling it on the black market and using aid distribution to reinforce its control of Gaza.The UN says hundreds of truckloads of lifesaving supplies are waiting at the border. Meanwhile, inside Gaza, food is scarce. Humanitarian groups like the UN World Food Programme (WFP) exhausted supplies of basic staples weeks ago, forcing them to shut down their kitchens and bakeries, and everyday Palestinians are grinding up pasta and lentils to make flour for bread. Antoine Renard of the WFP says when he was in Gaza last week, wheat flour was selling for $10 a pound. Juana Summers talks with Renard about what he's seen in Gaza, and what's next for the people there.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.
