South Africa: Health Workers Protest Israel’s Weaponization of Hunger in Gaza! (10.8.2025)

Earlier, Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, called on Israel to allow the UN and its partners to carry out their work unhindered.

“Before the spread of famine, community-based distribution centres, supported by partners, provided food and assistance to 2 million people, spread across the Gaza Strip. Five months on the ongoing attempts to replace the UN-coordinated response by four Israeli militarized distribution points, hunger has become the latest killer in Gaza,” he wrote on social media X.

According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, more than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks, and 150,000 have been injured.

CPC to Clean Online Healthcare!

China: Online Health Industry Set to be “Cleaned-Up”! (5.8.2025)

The notice also calls for a crackdown on misconduct such as illegal online consultations, sexually suggestive content disguised as health education, fabricated narratives promoting products and the impersonation of licensed physicians.

Local authorities have been instructed to guide platforms in improving oversight and to direct hospitals to monitor the conduct of medical workers while online, with penalties for violations. Market regulators will investigate illegal advertising activities.

At a recent news conference, Hu Qiangqiang, a spokesman for the National Health Commission, said common violations by doctors who are also influencers include directing followers to offline services, offering illegal online consultations, selling products via livestreams and prescribing overpriced medications.

Honour the Treaties President Trump!

US: Trump Cuts “Free” & “Subsidised” Healthcare to Native American Indians – Breaking Decades-Old Treaty! (4.6.2025)

The National Indian Health Board said in a letter to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last month that tribal communities had lost more than 6 million U.S. dollars in grants from HHS agencies.

The cuts may affect community health workers, vaccination programmes and data modernization efforts, said Janet Alkire, chairperson of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe on the South Dakota and North Dakota border.

“We have not been consulted with meaningfully on any of these actions,” said Liz Malerba of the United South and Eastern Tribes Sovereignty Protection Fund, as tribal leaders argued the cuts violate federal treaty obligations.

Native Americans suffer higher rates of chronic illness and shorter life expectancy than the general population, said the report.

US Weaponry Used Against Gaza Hospitals!

Gaza: Human Rights Watch – Israeli Gaza-Hospital Attacks Constitute “War Crimes”! (27.3.2025)

When Israeli forces withdrew from al-Shifa Hospital in early April 2024, after a deadly two-week siege, the hospital was left in ruins. Healthcare workers and families were left to deal with the aftermath of the violence, with corpses scattered throughout the complex. With cemeteries overwhelmed and the morgues unable to handle the volume of bodies, families were forced to dig temporary graves in the hospital courtyards. Some of the victims were buried in mass graves by Israeli soldiers during their assault on the medical complex.

South Africa - Black Racism

South Africa: Operation Dudula – and the Problem of Tribal Politics Outside the Tribe! (25.3.2025)

In my experience, this is a typical tactic of Trotskyite entryism – which infiltrates working-class groups and politically shifts them toward the right. Furthermore, why are the signs in English and not Zulu? Who is the intended audience? This Black racism feeds into Trump’s assertion that White people in South Africa are victims of Black people. I remember protests in Burma with signs written in English being held upside down – as those holding them cannot read, write or speak English (the West was mass importing fascistic Rohingya Muslims from Bangladesh – in an attempt to water-down the Buddhist support for Socialism within Myanmar – the lie being that local resistance was “genocide”, etc). In this situation, the English is obviously very good – so perhaps Trump is behind it! This Black woman sounds like a White Afrikaner from the 1970s!
