March 8th.

International Women’s day. How incredible is it that more women are starving now than ever before? If we think about it I suppose it isn’t unexpected… we all give other members of our family the best we can and in areas of extreme poverty, where food is scarce, which mother wouldn’t feed her children before herself? The situation in Gaza is just dreadful – there simply isn’t any food so everyone is malnourished at best, starving to death at worst. What has this world come to? Let’s hope that relief comes soon in sufficient quantity and by whatever means to these poor people. And here am I delivering cake to beleagured shopkeepers, what a contrast.
