🇵🇸 More than 900 all-terrain wheelchairs donated by two Australian charities for amputee children in Gaza have remained blocked in storage in Jordan since 2025, The New Arab reported on Wednesday.

COGAT, the Israeli defense ministry body that oversees aid entry, rejected a February 2025 application from the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation to include the equipment in an aid convoy, citing incomplete approval for medical equipment; the application has since been designated “pending” with no updates.

The wheelchairs were designed for difficult terrain, according to the groups, including the rubble that now covers much of the Gaza Strip. Gaza currently has the largest group of child amputees in modern history, according to the UN.

Trump: "We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many"
BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Under Biden, wages at the bottom of the distribution outpaced those at the top. Under Trump, wage growth has declined across the board, and the highest-paid are seeing bigger gains than the lowest.

One reason England does so well is our second generation immigrants outperform their peers which is not true in most OECD countries. We are also very good at integration. And it's v sad that this is never acknowledge in debates on immigration.

Office costs 2025 8,944,096 and 2024: 2,601,650

🚨 BOARD OF PEACE: “Actually, currently, they don’t have troops beyond the Yellow Line.”

Nickolay Mladenov, director general of the Gaza Board of Peace, told Israeli media that Israeli forces would begin a phased withdrawal only after all weapons in every sector of Gaza, including heavy, light, police and personal arms, are surrendered and “rendered unusable.”

Mladenov falsely claimed Israel has not moved beyond the agreed Yellow Line. The original demarcation left Israel controlling roughly 52% of Gaza. Israeli officials now say its forces control around 70%, after physically moving the yellow blocks and displacing about 18 percentage points more of Gaza during nearly 10 months of a supposed ceasefire, under the Trump-led Board’s watch.

During that period, Israeli forces have killed approximately 1,260 Palestinians, including hundreds of children. 

Additional Details:➤ “Nobody is required to do anything, last of all Israel,” before verified steps, he said. Each geographic sector in Gaza would be “fully decommissioned” before Israeli forces are asked to begin withdrawing, even to the original ceasefire line that covered 52% of Gaza. Currently, the Board wants Israel to stay at its 70% line.

➤ The plan covers police, personal, and factional weapons, heavy arms, production facilities and tunnels. Weapons would be stored and “rendered unusable.”

➤ Gaza’s transitional national committee would take over governance and disarmament, backed by an international security force.

➤ Israel would remain at the current advanced Yellow Line and be asked not to fire across it without a threat. It could respond to “imminent threats,” and the process would stop if commitments were unmet. 

▪️Mladenov said:

“We would like them to stay at those positions and to make sure that they do not shoot across at people unless there is a real threat to the Israeli soldiers coming to them.”

“None of the plan that we are preparing limits Israel’s options to react to a threat if it’s imminent and if it’s really endangering its troops. Absolutely.”

➤ An American-led mechanism involving mediators, U.S. troops and the international force would verify compliance. Mladenov said Turkey and Qatar were critical to securing Hamas’s agreement.

The second panel shows child Sarah again, now frowning. The person off panel continues, saying “After you’re 30 you’ll be old and your life will basically be over.”
Before the last two panels there is text that reads “LIFE AFTER I TURNED 30.”
The third panel shows adult Sarah opening a door.
The fourth panel shows the door opens to a beautiful field with flowers, a rainbow, and a pond. Sarah says “Wait what.”
