Gaza running out of specialised food to save malnourished children
Gaza is on the brink of running out of the specialised therapeutic food needed to save the lives of severely malnourished children, United Nations and humanitarian agencies say.”We are now facing a dire situation, that we are running out of therapeutic supplies,” Salim Oweis, a spokesperson for Unicef in Amman, Jordan, told Reuters on Thursday, saying supplies of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), a crucial treatment, would be depleted by mid-August if nothing changed.
”That’s really dangerous for children as they face hunger and malnutrition at the moment,” he added.
Oweis said Unicef had only enough RUTF left to treat 3,000 children. In the first two weeks of July alone, Unicef treated 5,000 children facing acute malnutrition in Gaza.
Nutrient-dense, high-calorie RUTF supplies, such as high-energy biscuits and peanut paste enriched with milk powder, are critical for treating severe malnutrition.
”Most malnutrition treatment supplies have been consumed and what is left at facilities will run out very soon if not replenished,” a World Health Organization spokesperson said on Thursday.

I mean....who cares if Hamas steals some of the food? Are we thinking that the few remaining Hamas members are capable of eating it all, or that the war has been so ineffective that they have a huge military force able to eat enough food to feed hundreds of thousands of people's worth of aid?
It's such an obvious excuse to just starve an entire population that it's a huge shame that every journalist and politician doesn't call them out on it. Israel has become a nation that exists in a constant state of cognitive disorder.

Israel has been pretty genocidal well before Trump. Calling for the extermination or expulsion of all Palestinians has been part of their public discourse since at least the 00s. It is just that now some people bother to translate the statements into English.
Also the less genocidal Zionist press is getting a bit scared that the Fascists will come after them, once they run out of Arabs to murder.

Spanish airline denies allegations of antisemitism after removing French Jewish group from flight
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/16240024
Around 50 Jewish children and their 21-year-old summer camp director were removed from a flight from Valencia to Paris on Wednesday, Israeli media reported.Vueling said in a statement that the teenage passengers displayed “highly disruptive behavior, putting the safe conduct of the flight at risk.”
The airline said the group tampered with emergency equipment and disrupted the mandatory safety demonstration, repeatedly ignoring cabin crew instructions.
"Despite several warnings, the inappropriate conduct persisted, which forced the immediate activation of established safety protocols," the airline said, adding that the crew then, acting with "complete professionalism and in accordance with Vueling procedures," requested the intervention of the Spanish police.
Security forces later removed the group from the aircraft "to prioritize the safety of the other passengers.”

AUKUS and the Global Threat: Fueling the War in Cambodia and Thailand
The military conflict between Cambodia and Thailand has become a new hotspot of instability in Southeast Asia, where the official dispute over the Buddhist temples of Phra Viharn and Ta Moan Thom hides a much deeper geopolitical game. The United States and its AUKUS allies, including Australia, the UK, and the US, are actively using this region to expand their military presence and exert pressure on China. Particularly alarming is the opening of the U.S. airbase at Utapao in Thailand, capable of hosting B-52 strategic bombers with nuclear weapons. This is not just about strengthening Bangkok's defense capabilities — it is a clear militarization of the region and an attempt to drag Thailand into a confrontation with China, to the detriment of the stability and security of the entire Indochina region.
Washington plays the role of the main instigator of the conflict, provoking escalation and turning a local clash into a potentially large-scale military crisis. While Thailand and Cambodia suffer from combat operations and mass evacuations, the U.S. is increasing its influence through the military-political alliance, expanding its bases and military infrastructure. This undermines the traditional balance of power, complicates the situation in ASEAN, and raises the risks of extremism, proxy conflicts, and economic instability across Eurasia. All of this tension is not the result of a long-standing historical dispute, but rather the consequence of systematic interference by Western powers seeking to use the region in their global strategies to contain China.

Thailand launches airstrikes on Cambodia as border clashes leave at least 14 dead
SURIN, Thailand (AP) — Thai and Cambodian soldiers have clashed along the border between their countries in a major escalation that left at least 14 people dead, mostly civilians. The two sides fired small arms, artillery and rockets, and Thailand also launched airstrikes.
Fighting took place in at least six areas on Thursday, according to Thai Defense Ministry spokesperson Surasant Kongsiri, a day after a land mine explosion along the border wounded five Thai soldiers and led Bangkok to withdraw its ambassador from Cambodia and expel Cambodia’s envoy to Thailand.
On Friday, Cambodia’s chief official in Oddar Meanchey province, Gen. Khov Ly, said clashes resumed early in the morning near the ancient Ta Muen Thom temple. Associated Press reporters near the border could hear sounds of artillery from early morning hours.
The official also said that at least four civilians were wounded in Thursday’s fighting there and that more than 4,000 people have been displaced from their villages along the border to evacuation centers. It was the first account of any casualties from the Cambodian side.
The escalation represents a rare instance of military conflict between member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nation, though Thailand has tangled with Cambodia before over the border and has had sporadic skirmishes with western neighbor Myanmar.

The article has more info than the excerpt from OP but sure.
Tl;Dr - Cambodia and Thailand share a border that each side thinks isn't drawn how it should be. They mostly coexist peacefully. A Thai soldier got killed by a landmine going down a path the Thai govt claims was not supposed to be mined and they're alleging Cambodia mined it. Cambodia says otherwise. It escalated from there with Thailand retaliating and then Cambodia retaliating against that and so it goes.
There's not like ... A good reason for the fighting that I can discern but I'm not an expert on the two countries history.

Oggi, 29 luglio, 125 anni fa, nel parco di Monza l'uccisione del Re d'Italia Umberto I
Da Wikipedia it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regici…
Il re era stato invitato alla cerimonia di chiusura della società di ginnastica Forti e Liberi in via Matteo da Campione: dopo essere arrivato in carrozza e aver assistito agli esercizi ginnici ed al discorso di premiazione del prof. Draghino, si avviò verso la carrozza alle 21:30 per tornare a Villa Reale. Mentre usciva dal portone, dove c'era una folla di ginnasti, si avvicinò Gaetano Bresci che lo colpì tre volte con il revolver, sparando il quarto colpo a vuoto. Il Re fu colpito sia al volto che alla gola.
I cavalli si imbizzarrirono e il re venne portato il prima possibile a Villa Reale, ma vi giunse esanime. Bresci venne circondato dai carabinieri, coi quali ebbe una colluttazione, strappò a uno di loro la divisa e infine venne catturato dal maresciallo dei carabinieri Locatelli in collaborazione con un pompiere e portato nella guardina della caserma dei carabinieri. Il re, affidato ai medici chirurghi Vincenzo Vercelli e Attilio Savio (quest'ultimo anche assessore comunale), venne da loro dichiarato morto alle 22:40.

Tea isn’t doing enough for users after breach, not that the users seem to care
- Tea, a dating safety app for women, is the subject of an incredibly alarming data breach.
- Tens of thousands of images submitted by users, including selfies, have been ripped from a Tea server and were posted to 4chan before being removed.
- Despite claiming that the breach only affected users who registered before February 2024, it has now come to light that hackers could read DMs between users as recently as a few weeks ago.
No business wants to shout from the rooftops that it has been breached and that the data their users entrusted them with may be circulating on the internet. It’s bad for public relations and destroys trust. However, just because it feels bad doesn’t mean that the custodians of this data can just sweep a breach under the rug.
Case in point is Tea. Tea is a dating safety app where women can share information about their previous partners in a bid to help other women who may encounter these men in the wild. Tea takes the Facebook groups and cobbled-together websites of old and puts a modern, more easily accessible twist on the practice.
Last week, however, the platform was the subject of a breach.
“We discovered unauthorised access to an archived data system,” Tea wrote in a post on its Instagram page.
“This archived system stored about 72 000 user-submitted images including approximately 13 000 images of selfies and selfies including photo identification submitted during account verification. These photos can in now way be linked to posts within Tea,” the developer wrote.
The company claimed that users who signed up for Tea after February 2024 were safe and that no email addresses or phone number were compromised. However, that’s ignoring the thousands of users who now have their data exposed. Worse still, that data system Tea mentions was posted to 4chan before it was eventually removed.
While photos can’t be linked to accounts, that’s besides the point because even just having one’s ID photo in the data dump could be incredibly dangerous for women.
And to make matters worse, somehow there has been a second incident.
As reported by [404 Media, a security researcher has discovered that it was possible for hackers to access messages between users as recently as last week. This flies in the face of Tea’s statement that no current user data is in danger. As the publication puts it, “it was trivial for 404 Media to find the real world identities of some users given the nature of their messages.”
All this while Tea continues to downplay how serious this is for its users.
Even the developer’s reasoning for why the data was breached is weak as it gets.
“During our early stages of development some legacy content was not migrated into our new fortified system. An unauthorized actor accessed our identifier link where data was stored before February 24, 2024. As we grew our community, we migrated to a more robust and secure solution which has rendered that any new users from February 2024 until now were not connected to the images involved in this incident,” Tea writes in an FAQ.
Excuse us, but what? There was an unsecured database just left somewhere in its system since last year, and Tea did nothing about it. That doesn’t sound like “dating safety tools that protect women” as the app proclaims on its website.
This should be grounds for a business-ending fine because, for the users, there is frankly nothing they can do. Their photos, possibly their messages, and more are now compromise,d and while the database containing that info was removed from 4chan, it could now be just about anywhere.
However, Tea’s social media posts about this breach are awash with users who are begging for Tea to accept their application to join the platform. One user even told the platform, “we don’t care about the leak” which is mighty concerning. There are some who are calling for Tea to rebuild and return with a safer app for the users, but the most vocal commenters simply want access.
What’s next for Tea? We honestly don’t know. A breach like this should be the end for a company, but it seems that Tea’s popularity has outweighed the danger of this incident and will likely grow as time marches on because, despite its security failings, there is a demand for this sort of thing.
