The United Nations is warning the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains “beyond catastrophic” as more than 1 million Palestinians in Gaza did not receive any food rations in August amid Israel’s relentless assault. Israel’s 11-month campaign has killed more than 15,000 children and enabled the besieged territory’s first polio outbreak in a quarter-century. INARA founder Arwa Damon just got back from spending two weeks in Gaza, where the nonprofit currently provides medical and mental healthcare to Palestinian children. “Israel has decimated every single aspect of any sort of infrastructure within the Gaza Strip, from sewage to water to electricity to you name it,” says Damon, who reports that humanitarian assistance has diminished significantly while displaced Palestinians play a “macabre, dark, twisted game” of trying to escape constant Israeli bombing.

The strike came just after the UN’s food agency was forced to pause movement across Gaza due to another Israeli attack.

At the DNC, progressives and moderates came together to support Kamala Harris by largely ignoring the most pressing moral issue of our time.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz formally accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president at the DNC on Wednesday. A former public school teacher, high school football coach and National Guard member, Walz spent six terms in Congress before his successful run for governor in 2018. We take a look at his record, including his “moderate” record on police brutality following the 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, with two guests: Jacobin staff writer Branko Marcetic and Minneapolis City Councilmember Jeremiah Ellison, who is the son of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. Walz’s progressive wins in Minnesota appear to have swayed Kamala Harris’s selection, says Marcetic, as Harris hopes to mirror parts of his agenda on the federal level. “I think that he’s sincere in his efforts to see change,” says Jeremiah Ellison, who is also an “uncommitted” delegate and goes on to discuss the uncommitted movement’s strategy at the DNC.
