Astronomers believe they have documented a cosmic first: a star that appears green to the human eye. Located 280 light-years from Earth, the white dwarf’s unusual hue is thought to stem from absorbing rocky debris from its former planetary system.

Funding shortages are forcing the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) to cut food aid in Palestine’s Gaza, leaving 500,000 people without monthly assistance, while about 1.4 million people, or two-thirds of Gaza’s current population, face acute food insecurity.

The WFP said it was reducing the number of Palestinians receiving monthly assistance from 1.6 million to 1.1 million. It has also halved food rations, cut cash assistance for 75,000 families and reduced daily hot meals from 250,000 to 150,000 ahead of the fourth winter Palestinians face under Israel’s genocidal war on the enclave.

The agency warned it urgently needs $450 million over the next six months to sustain critical operations in Gaza and the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

More than 20,000 children killed. 60,000 left without a mother, a father, or both.

In Palestine’s Gaza, Israel’s genocidal war has stolen childhoods, shattered families, and left tens of thousands of orphaned children to face a future without the people who should have held their hands through it. Now as winter approaches, displacement and the dire conditions these children are forced to live in threaten even their chance to survive

US President Donald Trump on October 18 gave Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu his “complete and total” endorsement ahead of Israel’s October 27 elections.

In a Truth Social post, Trump described Netanyahu as “strong, brave, and brilliant” despite opposition, including within Israel, and urged voters to reelect him.

“This is the kind of Partner that the United States of America is demanding of Israel, a Country for which it has done so much,” Trump wrote.

The national election will be Israel’s first since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent Israeli wars in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. The election could determine whether Netanyahu remains in power, as he faces centrist rivals seeking to end his tenure.

Hundreds of Palestinians attended a funeral in Gaza City on Sunday for 75 people, including women and children, whose remains were recovered from homes destroyed by Israeli forces during the early months of Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine’s Gaza.

The procession began outside Daraj Sports Club before the remains were buried at Sheikh Radwan Cemetery. Wrapped in Palestinian flags, they had been laid out the previous evening so relatives could bid farewell.

Gaza’s Civil Defence said the victims belonged to around 20 Palestinian families, including displaced people sheltering in the homes. Their remains were recovered over recent weeks from destroyed buildings in the Daraj neighbourhood.

Recovery teams continue to face severe shortages of equipment and heavy machinery as they search for Palestinians still buried beneath the rubble.

During a discussion on far-right Israeli Channel 14, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would give “serious consideration” to the idea of establishing a Palestinian state in Uganda.

But before invading and occupying Palestine, did you know the European Zionists considered establishing a Jewish state in East Africa?

In 1903, the ‘’Uganda Scheme’' was being mulled to carve out a Jewish country out of modern-day Kenya

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that forces outside Canada want to “break us so they can own us” ahead of a vote on Alberta’s independence on Monday.

“Our expectation is -- to be absolutely clear on foreign governments, United States included -- we don't get ourselves involved in their elections, they don't get themselves involved in our elections,” Carney said.

In recent months, the US administration has repeatedly been accused of fueling separatist movements in Alberta. Separatist groups have reportedly met several times with State Department officials, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has described the Canadian province as a “natural partner”.

On World Food Day, observed every October 16, the global food crisis highlights a stark paradox: Food is abundant, yet millions across the world cannot afford or access nutritious meals.

Millions are projected to remain hungry into the next decade as conflict, climate change and poverty continue to drive food insecurity — and vast amounts of food continue to go to waste every day.
