Heavy rains have deepened Gaza's misery, flooding tents in which many thousands of people are huddled, exposed to winter. A baby recently died of hypothermia.
Israel continues to restrict humanitarian aid, including tents. Nothing but silence from Trump. We must not forget Gaza.

Belfast needs an overdose prevention centre.
Lives are needlessly being lost. We need leadership from Stormont, especially the Health & Justice Ministers.
Are they worried by how some voters will feel about the prospect of an overdose prevention centre, 20 months out from an election?
