Lucy Fleming may be 76 years old, but one would imagine

she’d be up for a little fleeing and some action with the newest Inspector.

BLINKEN: OPPOSE PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD, OR STARVE.

"It's US policy to starve the world if Palestinians have a free state..."

Issuing a threat disguised as a reminder, Blinken is referring to US law:

Under legislation by the Congress since 1990, the United States must cut off funding to UN agencies that give full membership to a Palestinian state.

"Antony Blinken said we have to oppose Palestinian statehood or else the World Food Programme budget will be cut and people will starve around the world."

Section 414 of US Public Law 101-246, passed in 1990, states that "No funds authorized to be appropriated from this act or any other Act shall be available for the United Nations or any specialized agency thereof which accords the Palestine Liberation Organization the same standing as member states."

It’s truly unfortunate that Jeffrey can’t be brought back to join the 15th Inspector, given Rik Mayall’s passing.

At least we have the comfort of knowing that Jeffrey died doing what he did best, something incredibly stupid.

Northern Gaza in ‘full-blown famine’, UN food agency chief says

‘It’s horror’: World Food Programme head calls for immediate ceasefire and ‘unfettered access’ into besieged territory.

Northern Gaza is experiencing a “full-blown famine”, the head of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has said, and warned that it is “moving its way south”.

In an interview with NBC News set to air on Sunday, Cindy McCain said that her remarks are based on what the WFP has seen and experienced on the ground. UN officials and aid agencies have for months warned of such a scenario.

“It’s horror. It’s so hard to look at and it’s so hard to hear,” McCain told the US broadcaster’s Meet the Press programme.

“What we are asking for and what we continually ask for is a ceasefire and the ability to have unfettered access, to get in safe through the various ports and gate crossings,” she said, according to a video clip of the interview.

On Saturday, a delegation from Palestinian group Hamas was in Egypt to continue negotiations on a ceasefire amid an uptick in international pressure for a deal to be reached.

Hamas’s spokesman Osama Hamdan said there had been “some forward steps”.

Yet Israel has threatened to launch its ground invasion of Rafah in the southernmost tip of the enclave, which is home to more than 1.4 million displaced Palestinians who have fled the Israeli military’s relentless bombardment in other parts of the Gaza Strip.

Israel has severely restricted the entry of critical humanitarian supplies into Gaza despite warnings from its allies and the United Nations of a looming famine in parts of the Palestinian territory. Its military has also repeatedly attacked and killed Palestinian civilians waiting to collect aid in the Strip.

This week it reopened the Beit Hanoon (Erez) crossing into northern Gaza, but Israeli settlers attacked two aid convoys sent by Jordan. The UN has said the amounts remain insufficient to meet the vast and growing needs of Gaza’s starving population.

The UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification has previously warned that more than 70 percent of Gaza’s 2.3 million population is facing “catastrophic hunger” any time between mid-March and May.

On Saturday, Gaza’s Ministry of Health said at least 34,654 Palestinians have been killed and 77,908 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7.

Now that Christmas has successfully been completed and the upcoming New Year in 5 hours will be completed too, I can finally get back to coding.

I miss it so much, I am rusty. I feel like I'm back to square one (being dramatic here) but I need to up my React.js and C# skills again before I start my new job in 2 weeks~!

Also, I have received a lot of asks since I've been busy and I will get to answering all of them tomorrow - I haven't ignored you guys on purpose oops~!

ALSO don't forget to make some coding/programming new year resolutions!! (Should post about them so I can get inspiration please...) I'll post mine later tomorrow as well! [my post on making coding New Year resolutions]

Have a nice day! 🥰🙏🏾✨💻
