This isn’t particularly new. We’ve been here before. Chechnya, #Georgia, #Crimea, #Donbas, #Syria. Each time, Europe’s response was weak. Each time, it sent humanitarian #aid and hoped the #Kremlin would come to its senses, as if it were just having a tantrum and not executing a long-term imperialist project. Even when #Putin turned Belarus into a vassal state and built military bases along #NATO’s border, too many in Brussels and Berlin whispered, “Let’s not escalate.”

An overhaul of the #housing agency comes on the heels of a congressional deal to fund the government through Sept that increased some housing spending yet did not keep pace with rising rents & the growing demand for federal #aid. The #funding gap could result in about 32,000 #voucher recipients soon losing access to federal #housing aid… on top of additional cuts once funding runs out in a pandemic-era program that expanded voucher availability.

Federal #voucher programs currently provide assistance to ~2.3M #LowIncome #families, acc/to the govt’s estimates, who enroll through their local public-#housing authorities. The #aid is part of a broader universe of #RentalAssistance programs that are set to exceed $54B this fiscal year. But the annual demand for these subsidies is far greater than available funds, creating a sizable wait list as rents are rising nationally.

“This is one of the worst humanitarian failures of our generation,” the chief executives of 12 NGOs, including Oxfam and Save the Children, wrote in a statement.

“Every single person in Gaza is relying on humanitarian aid to survive. …That lifeline has been completely cut off since a blockade on all aid supplies was imposed by Israeli authorities on March 2.”

📢 Jerusalem – As ISR forces resume and expand their military offensive by air, ground and sea on the #gaza strip, #palestine, forcibly displacing people and deliberately blocking essential #aid, Palestinian lives are once again being systematically destroyed, warns Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

A series of deadly attacks by ISR forces have shown a blatant disregard for the safety of humanitarian and medical workers in Gaza.
