We want to connect people across the globe to issues that matter. We explore the reality behind the hashtags and the people behind the statistics. We will seek to unpack the issues behind each story.
By placing the human at the heart of each story we hope to promote a global conscience that provokes moral reactions - revealing a deeper understanding of the diversity of the lives around us.

The Palestinian death toll in Gaza has surpassed 74,000, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, as Israel’s genocidal war on the enclave approaches its third anniversary.
The Ministry said 74,016 Palestinians had been confirmed killed as of September 26, with 175,068 wounded in Israeli attacks.
At least four more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza on Sunday, according to the Ministry, despite a US-brokered ceasefire deal that took effect on October 10, 2025.
Israeli strikes have continued, with the Ministry confirming that 1,145 Palestinians have been killed since the truce began. Meanwhile, the second phase of ceasefire talks remains largely stalled.
Israeli forces now occupy more than half of Palestine’s Gaza, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying Israeli forces will not withdraw until the Palestinian resistance group Hamas disarms.

One in five children and adolescents aged 5–19 is living with overweight, including obesity, as unhealthy food environments fuel rising consumption of ultra-processed foods and sugary drinks.
As of 2025, the number of school-aged children living with obesity has surpassed those who are underweight globally for the first time on record, marking a major shift in the face of child malnutrition, according to UNICEF.
While undernutrition remains a major concern, particularly among younger children in low- and middle-income countries, childhood overweight and obesity are rising rapidly across much of the world.
More than 180 countries have seen rising rates of childhood overweight and obesity since 2010, according to the World Obesity Federation.
The share of children living with obesity is increasingly shifting towards low- and middle-income countries, where the majority are expected to reside by 2040.
The result is a growing “double burden” of malnutrition, with children increasingly facing both undernutrition and obesity.
