The bill to legitimize imprisoning LGBT persons in Uganda was approved by the parliament in Uganda. With the enactment of the law, LGBT persons will be sentenced to life imprisonment. LGBT persons who abuse children and vulnerable people will be given the death penalty, and citizens will be expected to report LGBT individuals to legal authorities. On the other hand, non-governmental organizations defending LGBT rights in the country argue that the bill will cause fear and pressure on LGBT persons. It is also feared that with the enactment of the bill will lead gloating people to report people just to receive money.
The UN Integrated Food Security Stage Classification (IPC) officially declared a famine in Gaza City and surrounding areas, warning that over 500,000 people face “catastrophic” conditions. Another 1.7 million are in emergency levels, with nearly all agriculture destroyed and food access critically restricted since March.
UN officials said the famine is “entirely man-made” and blamed Israel’s obstruction of aid deliveries. Human rights chief Volker Türk warned that deaths from starvation may constitute war crimes. Israel rejected the report, calling it based on “Hamas’s lies.”
