Chuck Todd opens with the resolution of a story he's been tracking for weeks: Graham Platner cruised to victory in Maine, comfortably clearing 70% even with Janet Mills' name still on the ballot — which he says means the scandals that had Platner in "save my campaign" mode turned out to be far less than a five-alarm fire. The deeper lesson, Chuck argues, is uncomfortable but revealing: for a significant share of Democratic primary voters, high character has become a luxury item, because the base is so exhausted by losing and capitulating to the establishment that it will forgive a flawed candidate who actually seems willing to fight. He notes that Maine has gotten meaningfully bluer since Susan Collins was last on the ballot (Harris underperformed nationally but actually drew more raw votes in Maine than Biden did), that a generic Democrat should win this seat by six or seven points, and that the only real question left is how many squeamish Democrats sit the race out rather than pull the lever for Platner. He runs through the rest of the night — Lindsey Graham narrowly avoided a runoff in South Carolina, the GOP gubernatorial race there is headed to a runoff that knocked out both Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman — and pulls back to identify the defining theme of the entire 2026 cycle: everyone, in both parties, is running on a message of change, with no candidate anywhere running on restoration the way Biden did in 2020. The messaging this cycle is relentlessly future-focused, the exact opposite of Trump's nostalgia, and Chuck reiterates his running observation that the worst possible first name to have in politics right now is "congressman" — because Washington experience carries zero value to voters this cycle. The split-screen between the parties remains stark: Republican voters still reward confrontation while Democratic primary voters are gravitating toward electability and consensus, Democratic turnout is rising while GOP turnout is flat or falling, and the throughline that's held for a decade is only intensifying — voters are demanding major change, and they'll punish anyone who doesn't offer it. Then, Lauren Pinkston — the independent candidate for governor of Tennessee — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make the case that the deepest problem in her state isn't left versus right, it's the near-total absence of two-party competition that has allowed one-party rule to calcify into something genuinely unhealthy. Pinkston, who was raised in an evangelical environment where she was taught that voting Democrat meant going to hell, offers a fascinating personal and political journey: she lived in communist Laos where people were persecuted for their faith, which gave her a firsthand understanding of why the Founders deliberately kept Christianity out of the Constitution, and she's now running explicitly against the kind of Christian nationalism that teaches America was divinely ordained. She argues Citizens United is a major reason Tennessee became so uncompetitive, walks through the mechanical difficulties of mounting a serious independent campaign, and contends that Marsha Blackburn isn't nearly as strong a candidate as she thinks she is. The conversation digs into Pinkston's actual governing vision and her theory of how an independent can build a winning coalition in one of the reddest states in the country. She wants to reform education and make teaching a genuinely fun profession again, and she's passionate about the way Nashville soaks up all the state's political investment while Memphis gets neglected — pointing out that crime in Memphis is at a 20-year low yet the city still can't attract investment, and that St. Jude is struggling to recruit talent because of H1-B visa denials. Pinkston is candid about the structural obstacles: Tennessee's constitution doesn't even allow for ballot measures, the GOP holds a stranglehold on the statehouse, and Republican leadership has been kicking moderate candidates off the ballot entirely. But she argues there's a real opening — Republicans in the state are looking for an offramp that isn't a Democrat, and even staunch Democrats are frustrated with their own party. Pinkston is energized about working with the Working Families Party and the Forward Party to build toward a more moderate, genuinely competitive two-party system, argues this is the strongest group of independent candidates to run in years, and wonders aloud whether being "too educated" has perversely become a negative quality in a candidate. She closes with a sharp observation that cuts to the heart of the whole project: Americans demand more than two options for literally everything in their lives except politics, politicians increasingly rely on performance over substance, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

Per ricevere un pacco di farina dal World Food Programme, a Gaza, una persona deve scrivere il proprio nome, il numero del documento, il telefono e il quartiere in cui dorme. Quel modulo si chiama People Portal, l'applicazione di auto-registrazione che il WFP rivendicava per aver tagliato tempi e burocrazia. Oltre due milioni di palestinesi l'hanno compilato. Il 14 maggio quei dati sono finiti in mani non autorizzate. Il The New Humanitarian, con l'inchiesta di Jacob Goldberg e Irwin Loy, parla di circa 600.000 famiglie esposte: nomi, documenti, telefoni, posizione. È la più grave violazione di dati di beneficiari umanitari mai registrata, sopra le 515.000 persone colpite nell'attacco al Comitato internazionale della Croce Rossa nel 2022. Due giorni prima, il 12 maggio, un informatore aveva segnalato al WFP una falla individuata da un esperto indipendente. La sede di Roma aveva assicurato che era risolta. L'attacco è arrivato lo stesso, e gli abitanti di Gaza sono stati avvisati via Telegram solo il 31 maggio, diciassette giorni dopo. L'informatore descrive al The New Humanitarian dati «che possono individuare posizioni precise e causare danni», e nessuna valutazione del rischio. A Gaza un dato di posizione pesa diversamente. La Corte internazionale di giustizia ha dichiarato illegale l'occupazione con il parere del 19 luglio 2024, e dal gennaio 2024 considera la popolazione della Striscia esposta a un plausibile rischio di genocidio. Lì le forze israeliane hanno ucciso centinaia di persone in fila per gli aiuti del WFP, scrive la stessa testata. Intanto Domenico Centrone e Leonarda Alberizia restano detenuti a Bengasi: il procuratore libico ha prorogato la custodia senza fissare udienza, il 4 giugno una delegazione alla Farnesina ha chiesto pressione. Il WFP scrive ai registrati: "continuerete a ricevere assistenza". Per riceverla, avevano già scritto dove dormono. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Lebanon crisis: Needs soar as UN launches new funding appealIn Somalia, food is running out fast, reports WFP Haiti's people fleeing harrowing violence, warns migration agency

Der Druck, unter dem die UN seit einigen Jahren stehen, ist auch im sensiblen Bereich der humanitären Hilfe spürbar. Zwischen geopolitischen Spannungen, einer steigenden Zahl an internationaler Krisen und Konflikten sowie immer häufiger werdenden Angriffen auf UN-Personal können die UN häufig nur noch eingeschränkt Hilfe leisten. Hinzu kommt die massive Kritik an den UN als Organisation, die insbesondere durch US-Präsident Donald Trump am sichtbarsten vorgetragen wird sowie die erheblichen finanziellen Ausfälle, die sich nicht nur auf die Arbeit der UN auswirken, sondern auch grundsätzliche Umstrukturierungen beispielsweise im Zuge der 'UN80'-Reform nach sich ziehen.

Ralph speaks to independent investigative journalist Lylla Younes to discuss her reporting on Israel's assault on southern Lebanon. Then, Ralph and media studies professor Robin Andersen discuss her new book "The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of the Genocide in Gaza."Lylla Younes is a Beirut-based journalist. She is an editor at The Public Source, and a frequent contributor to Drop Site News.What we've seen in the past several days is really an escalation of what's been happening since March 2nd (when the US-Israeli assault on Iran took off) and then obviously the ceasefire… What we see is a campaign of ethnic cleansing from the Israeli military in Lebanon. And that has looked like the Gaza playbook sped up, you could say, in southern Lebanon. It's looked like invading and bulldozing homes; tearing up roads; destroying, booby-trapping, and detonating entire villages and cultural sites. It's looked like targeting medical personnel—killing, at this point, over 100 since March 2nd (this is in addition to the 130 or so who were killed in the last round of fighting in 2024). In addition to that, the targeting and killing of journalists who are reporting near the border. I think it's important to note there's practically no one left in the border region. Having a press vest on and a microphone and a camera is basically like having a target on your back at this point.Lylla YounesThe pager attack was, I think it's fair to say, one of the darker days of Lebanese history. I think regardless of people's feelings about Hezbollah, the fact that you are setting men alight literally in the streets in cities all across the country, killing children, maiming children—the mark of the pager attack was that these pagers that Hezbollah members were carrying exploded in their faces and blinded them. So you have thousands of blinded people, people missing fingers. And again, some of these are relatives of Hezbollah members. It was a massive event that overwhelmed hospitals across the country. And it also marked the beginning of that 66 day [period] of escalated fighting. And it showed how deeply infiltrated Hezbollah was in an intelligence capacity. This was quite a feat by the Israeli Mossad.Lylla YounesRobin Andersen is professor emerita of media studies at Fordham University and an award-winning author of a dozen single- and co-authored books. She serves as a Project Censored Judge, and contributes to the annual State of the Free Press. She is on the Board of Directors of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), where she also writes regularly, and is an Izzy Award Judge for the Park Center for Independent Media. Her latest book is The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel's Genocide in Gaza.In my book, I look at the directives of the New York Times and CNN, and then I compare it to media coverage. And I found that, in fact, these were the ways [the directives that were passed down] in which the media was presenting the genocide in Gaza…But in terms of the Israeli directives, CNN was putting their copy through their Jerusalem bureau and the IDF was looking at it. The New York Times was simply going along with Israeli talking points. So we did find that. And the real telling part was when they finally did say that Israel dropped the bomb, it was only when Israel had admitted—or put their propaganda to the next level, which was to claim that they had killed a Hamas commander or a fighter or somebody involved in Hamas. And we found that also in the BBC. So those were direct things that came from Israel. And abandoning their journalistic mission, the US media was basically following the dictates of a foreign government.Robin AndersenTheir form of censorship was basically murder. They knew that as the genocide wore on (and Israel controlled the narrative for a very long time, and then it started to collapse) as over time we saw on the internet, we saw on our handheld devices the documentation of what was happening [they'd lose control of the narrative]. And so in a total propaganda environment, what we have to have is no noise, no opposition, no alternative information. And Israel really was trying to achieve a total propaganda environment. It wasn't enough that they had establishment in legacy media and those media were allowing outside influences to direct their editorial decisions. That wasn't quite enough.Robin AndersenNews 5/29/26* This week, Democratic Socialist Mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani unveiled his plan to construct 200,000 new rent-stabilized homes in the city over the next decade, PIX 11 reports, making good on a campaign promise that many supposedly savvy political observers doubted. In addition to the new construction, Mamdani vowed to “preserve and stabilize” an additional 200,000 via New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) repairs, increased housing code enforcement, and a special focus on development in the Bronx. In his announcement, Mamdani said “We are the largest city in the nation. We have the resources, the talent, and the will to achieve this.”* In the federal government, one of the most controversial members of the Trump administration – former Democratic Congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard – has resigned her position as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). The BBC reports Gabbard is citing her husband's recent bone cancer diagnosis as the reason for her departure, but also notes that Gabbard “has largely been out of public view even as the US took military action against Iran, put pressure on Cuba, and…removed Venezuela's president.” In theory, these would all require a substantial degree of participation from and coordination with the DNI, but Gabbard seemed pointedly out of the loop. The actions of the administration have also been diametrically opposed to Gabbard's past foreign policy positions, defined by her 2020 slogan “no more regime change wars.” Others have noted that Gabbard now joins former Attorney General Pam Bondi, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as high-profile women ousted from the Trump administration while glaringly incompetent men like Pete Hegseth remain in their posts.* Turning to Texas, this week saw a political bloodbath in the runoffs for the primaries held back in March. The topline of course is that scandal-plagued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, backed by Trump, triumphed over powerful longtime incumbent Senator John Cornyn. With the backing of the president, Paxton wiped the floor with Cornyn, winning around two-thirds of the vote. Yet Paxton goes into the general election against James Talarico very weak. 35% of those polled “Disapprove Strongly” of Paxton with only 15% saying they “Strongly Approve” according to the Texas Politics Project and even the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) condemned Paxton's “lies” “incompetence” personal scandals and corruption in now-deleted press releases. Further down the ballot, incumbent Democratic Members of Congress Al Green and Julie Johnson have been defeated in their primary run-offs, after being forced into Member-on-Member races by the Texas redistricting scheme.* Meanwhile in Michigan, NOTUS reports the Working Families Party (WFP) has endorsed progressive Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed. This primary campaign, with El-Sayed running against moderate Congresswoman Haley Stevens and liberal state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, has become a bruising tripartite affair pitting the three major factions within the Democratic Party against one another. Recently, El-Sayed has taken the lead in this race, which WFP hopes to help consolidate, saying it is prepared to go “all in” on this race. WFP is feeling confident following their role in helping to ensure victory for Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania and Analilia Mejia in New Jersey.* In the Garden State, Senator Andy Kim was caught in a cloud of pepper spray this week as he joined protestors outside of a privately-run ICE detention facility, NJ.com reports. The protests began as a result of an ongoing hunger strike inside of the facility, which has led many high-profile New Jersey Democrats – including Governor Mikie Sherill and Congressman Robert Menendez Jr. in addition to Senator Kim – to call for the facility's closure. Following the confrontation, Kim stated that “What we saw here is unfortunately just what we see all over the country…It's sad…sad day.” At another point, Kim said “The cruelty that you see behind me, this is the point…Right now, I'm trying to have them not point guns at us.”* In another case of outrageous overreach by the Trump administration, Fox reports the Treasury Department has served subpoenas to CodePink activist Medea Benjamin and political streamer and influencer Hasan Piker seeking “financial, logistical and communications information” regarding their recent humanitarian voyage to Cuba. According to this story, the Treasury probe – handled through their Office of Foreign Assets Control – is primarily concerned with whether the convoy “violated U.S. sanctions laws through the financing, coordination or delivery of goods to Cuba, including potential contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities on the island.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has condemned the probe, writing that “Weaponizing the Treasury Department to target Americans for exercising their constitutional right to support human rights is unacceptable.” CAIR went on to call the investigation “performative and politically-motivated,” contending that “Every American who believes in the rule of law and human rights should stand in solidarity with Medea and demand that the Treasury Department drop its McCarthyite witch hunt.”* The Democrats meanwhile are once again conspiring against one another. The Bulwark reports the campaign to unseat Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin is back on – and now includes viable alternatives. Previously, discontent was mounting but there did not appear to be any other options. Presently though, the list circulating in Democratic circles consists of New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, former EMILY's List president Stephanie Schriock, former president of the Service Employees International Union Mary Kay Henry, former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro, former chair of the Michigan Democratic Party Lavora Barnes, and former Wisconsin party chair Ben Wikler. Wikler, who revitalized the Beaver State party and placed second against Martin in the DNC Chair election, has “rebuffed discussions about leading the DNC, saying he wants nothing to do with effort to remove Martin and isn't interested in replacing him.” Yet even with no obvious alternative, calls are mounting for Martin to step aside. This piece cites statements by progressive Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan, as well as a new initiative by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee on one side, alongside statements by more moderate Reps. Marc Veasey and Seth Moulton to the same effect. Still, many state parties and an equally ideologically diverse coalition is standing by Martin, so he will likely remain in place, at least for the time being.* Looking southward, this week Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that her country will host the Iranian team ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Per Al Jazeera, the United States, which is hosting many of the matches, including all three the Iranian team was scheduled to play in, expressed that they did not think it “appropriate” for Iranian team members to be in the country, “for their own life and safety.” FIFA approached Mexico as an alternative. In her daily press conference, Sheinbaum stated that “We have no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico.” The Iranian team has also announced they will be moving their training base from Tucson to Tijuana, but still plan to enter the United States to play their games – with Trump saying they will be “welcome,” despite the fact American authorities have yet to issue the necessary visas.* Our final two stories involve the Pope. First, AP reports that this week Pope Leo XIV made an historic apology not only for the Catholic Church's role in legitimizing slavery, but its failure to condemn the practice for centuries afterwards. Pope Leo called this a “wound in Christian memory.” Leo, the first American Pope, can point to both enslaved people and slave owners in his familial lineage, a remarkable vantage point from which to issue this statement in his first ever encyclical ”Magnifica Humanitas.”* Yet, for how historic this section of the encyclical is, it is not the portion of it that drew the most attention. That would be the section on Artificial Intelligence. Pope Leo writes “Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together.” Leo goes on to make the critical point that “technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate, and use it.” He further goes on to state that “the pressure of new ideologies or certain highly powerful interests” can reduce the human person to “a resource to be used and exploited” or evaluated “on what they achieve or produce,” whereas God creates each individual person in His image and imbues them with inherent dignity. It is impossible to say whether the Pontiff's words will move the titans of the tech industry to change their ways, but his moving rhetoric is sure to significantly influence the world's view of AI, both today and for students of history.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Six years later, the future he predicted is here.

Samir Wanmali is the WFP Regional Director for Asia-Pacific. With over 20 years of experience across food security, emergency operations and programme design, he has led responses in some of the world's most challenging contexts. Since November 2024, he has turned his attention to a region that feeds much of the world, yet where hunger and malnutrition persist in ways that are often overlooked.In this conversation, we explore the contradictions at the heart of the Asia-Pacific food story, a region of extraordinary abundance and economic growth where 69 million people still can't find their next meal, and 1.7 billion can't afford a healthy diet.You'll hear why climate shocks that were once considered once-in-a-century events are now happening every three years, how WFP is shifting from response to anticipatory action and the experience working with displaced communities in South Darfur that taught Samir the difference between giving people food and building something with them.Resources and links:WFP websiteConnect:Future Fork podcast websitePaul Newnham on InstagramPaul Newnham on XPaul Newnham on LinkedInDisruptive Consulting Solutions websiteSDG2 Advocacy Hub websiteSDG2 Advocacy Hub on XSDG2 Advocacy Hub on FacebookSDG2 Advocacy Hub on LinkedIn

VOV1 - Liên hợp quốc và các nhóm cứu trợ cảnh báo xung đột ở Trung Đông đang làm gián đoạn khả năng cung cấp lương thực và thuốc men cho hàng triệu người trên thế giới và tình trạng này có thể trở nên nghiêm trọng hơn nếu bạo lực tiếp diễn.Cuộc xung đột leo thang giữa Mỹ, Israel và Iran đã cắt đứt các tuyến vận chuyển quan trọng, gây ra khủng hoảng năng lượng toàn cầu và làm gián đoạn chuỗi cung ứng. Các tuyến đường như eo biển Hormuz và các trung tâm vận tải tại Dubai, Doha hay Abu Dhabi bị ảnh hưởng, khiến chi phí vận chuyển tăng vọt và thời gian giao hàng kéo dài. Chương trình Lương thực Thế giới (WFP) cho biết hàng chục nghìn tấn lương thực đang bị chậm trễ, trong khi Ủy ban Cứu trợ Quốc tế (IRC) gặp khó khăn trong việc gửi dược phẩm trị giá 130.000 USD tới Sudan và 670 thùng thực phẩm trị liệu tới Somalia. Quỹ Dân số Liên hợp quốc (UNFPA) cũng cho biết việc gửi thiết bị đến 16 quốc gia đang bị trì hoãn.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina kutoka hapa makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa kwenye Kikao cha CSW70. Leo Flora Nducha wa Idhaa hii anazungumza na mshiriki Nelly Mbangu Lumbulumbu, mwanasheria na mwanaharakati wa Haki za binadamu kutoka DRC.Nelly ni mwanzilishi na mkurugenzi wa shirika lisilo la kiserikali la “Sauti ya Mama Mukongomani” lililoanzishwa mwaka 2008, anaanza kwa kumueleza kwa nini alinzisha shirika hilo.Mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa yanaeleza kuwa idadi ya wakimbizi wa ndani inazidi kuongezeka, mathalan huko Lebanon watu 816,000 sawa na asilimia 14 ya watu wote wamekimbia makazi yao. Na huko Iran watu milioni 3.2 wanakadiriwa kukimbilia maeneo ya Kaskazini mwa taifa hilo na vijijini wakikimbia machafuko. Namba ya dharura ya msaada ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia Wakimbizi UHCHR inapokea zaidi ya simu 1,000 kwa siku za watu wakiomba msaada.Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la mpango wa chakula duniani WFP, limeonya kuwa njaa duniani inaweza kufikia viwango vya juu mwaka huu iwapo mzozo wa Mashariki ya Kati utaendelea na bei ya mafuta itabaki kuwa juu. Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari jijini Geneva Uswisi Naibu Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa WFP Carl Skau amesema “Ongezeko la gharama za chakula na mafuta duniani zinaweza kuacha mamilioni ya familia zikiwa nje ya uwezo wa kununua vyakula, hasa katika nchi zinazotegemea uagizaji bidhaa kama vile Afrika, Kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara na Asia. Kwa hakika, uchambuzi wetu unakadiria kwamba, kama mzozo wa Mashariki ya Kati utaendelea hadi mwezi Juni, watu zaidi ya milioni 45 wanaweza kuingizwa kwenye njaa kali kutokana na bei kuwa juu na hii itaweka rekodi ya juu ya njaa duniani kote. Na haya ni matarajio mabaya.".Hapa makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa hii leo moja ya matukio ya kando ya Mkutano wa 70 wa Kamisheni ya Hali ya Wanawake duniani, CSW70 ni Kushughulikia vikwazo vya haki ya kijinsia kupitia mfumo wa Mahakama ya Mtandao nchini Tanzania kwa lengo la kufanikisha haki kwa wanawake na wasichana. Barke Sehel ambaye ni Jaji wa Mahakama ya Rufani nchini Tanzania anasema mashinani mfumo unatumia simu zisizo janja na akisema mobile app ni apu ya kwenye simu.Mwenyeji wako ni Assumpta Massoi, karibu!

WCR Nation Ep. 457 | A Window Cleaning Podcast Water Fed Pole vs Traditional Window Cleaning — what's the real truth? After thousands of window cleaning jobs, Jersey breaks down the honest pros and cons of water fed poles (WFP) vs traditional squeegee window cleaning. If you run a window cleaning business or you're just getting started in the industry, this is a conversation you've probably had before. Is a pure water system faster? Does traditional window cleaning still produce better results? And when should you actually use one over the other? In this episode of WCR Nation, Jersey talks about real-world experience from the glass — covering speed, safety, profitability, residential vs commercial jobs, and why the best window cleaners usually use both methods. If you're trying to decide between water fed pole vs traditional window cleaning, this episode will help you think about it the right way. Let's talk shop! Need supplies? Let me know! I would love to do that for you!

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayoangazia yaliyojiri katika mkutano wa CSW70, ambapo kandoni mwa mkutano huo Assumpta Massoi wa Idhaa hii alipata fursa ya kuzungumza na Lucy Kabyemera, Naibu Katibu Mkuu Wizara ya Ardhi na Makazi nchini Tanzania aliyeongoza kikao hicho na kumpatia ufafanuzi wa mambo kadhaa ikiwemo mabadiliko ya sera.Idadi ya watu waliokimbia makazi yao nchini Iran imeongezeka kwa kasi na kufikia takriban watu milioni 3.2 kutokana na mashambulizi makali yanayozidi kushika kasi nchini humo kutoka jeshi la Marekani na Israeli huku nayo Iran ikijibu mashambulizi. Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Wakimbizi UNHCR, kupitia taarifa yake iliyotolewa leo jijini Geneva, Uswisi, limebainisha kuwa kaya kati ya 600,000 na milioni 1 zimepoteza makazi yao, huku wengi wakikimbia miji mikubwa kama Tehran kuelekea maeneo ya vijijini na mikoa ya kaskazini kutafuta usalama. “Hali hii imeleta hofu kubwa ya kuongezeka kwa mahitaji ya kibinadamu kadiri uhasama unavyozidi kusambaa katika maeneo mbalimbali,” imesema taarifa hiyo.Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la afya duniani WHO Dkt. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus ameelezea kuhusu matumizi makubwa ya fedha kwenye silaha za kivita wakati huu ambapo dunia ina uhitaji mkubwa wa msaada wa chakula na maeneo kadhaa kuwa na hali mbaya ya chakula huku mgao wa chakula ukitolewa mara moja au mbili badala ya mara tatu sababu ya ufinyu wa ufadhili. Dkt Tedros amesema matumizi ya kijeshi duniani yamefikia $ trilioni 2.7 - katika mwaka mmoja. Na kulingana na makadirio ya Umoja wa Mataifa, kukomesha njaa duniani ifikapo mwaka wa 2030 kutahitaji $ bilioni 93 kila mwaka. “Hiyo ina maana kwamba tunatumia karibu mara 30 zaidi kila mwaka kuuana kuliko kuhakikisha kila mtu anakula.”Leo ni Siku ya Mlo shuleni. Mamilioni ya watoto duniani kote huenda shuleni kila siku bila kutia chochote tumboni. Kwa mujibu wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Mpango wa Chakula duniani WFP, zaidi ya watoto milioni 100 katika nchi zenye kipato cha chini na cha kati hukabiliwa na njaa kila siku. Hali hii huathiri uwezo wao wa kuzingatia masomo, kujifunza na kufaulu darasani. Ili kukabiliana na changamoto hiyo, WFP inaunga mkono serikali mbalimbali kuhakikisha watoto wote wenye umri wa kwenda shule wanapata milo shuleni ili wawe na afya njema na wawe tayari kujifunza.Mwenyeji wako ni Leah Mushi, karibu!
