Die in at MA State House on 12/16 to protest...

Over 40 protesters staged a “die in” at the State House on Tuesday to protest Massachusetts’ Governor Healey signing a contract with Israel’s Sheba Medical Center. Sheba is Israel’s first military hospital and is deeply implicated in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

If Sheba is successful in MA it will expand into other healthcare systems nationally, helping Israel to obscure its destruction of the health care system in Gaza.NO COMPLICITY WITH GENOCIDE IN MA HEALTHCARE!

Humanitarian Situation Update | Gaza Strip. Dec 11, 2025

Access to water has improved in Gaza owing to repairs to critical infrastructure and a near-doubling of water trucking by the UN and its partners.

In anticipation of heavy rainfall and a deterioration in weather conditions, partners continue to identify displacement sites at high risk of flooding and prioritize winterization activities.

Meanwhile, every week, about 15 women in Gaza give birth outside hospitals, without skilled attendants, according to the UN Population Fund.

More aid must enter the Gaza Strip, especially aid that strengthens the health of pregnant and breastfeeding women, UNICEF Communication Manager stated, highlighting the harmful domino effect of maternal malnutrition on newborns.

The Shelter Cluster estimates that fewer than 50,000 tents for about 270,000 people have entered Gaza.
