HALABJA, IRAQ - FEBRUARY 24: A shepherd stands looking out towards the mountains where a mass grave site of most of the victims of the March 16, 1988 chemical attacks on Halabja are buried February 24, 2004 in Halabja, Iraq. In Halabja, approximately 5,000 innocent civilians, mostly women and children (75 percent), immediately perished due to chemical attacks committed allegedly by the Iraqi regime. The chemical attacks were said to have involved mustard gas, nerve agents and possibly cyanide. The attack on Halabja took place amidst the infamous al-Anfal campaign, in which former Iraqi Dictator Saddam Hussein is alleged to have brutally repressed yet another of the Kurdish revolts during the Iran-Iraq war at the time.

It’s Time to Reset the Poverty Line

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 22: Members of Universe City, a decentralized food hub in the Brownsville neighborhood that is working to build food sovereignty while also promoting community healing practices, pack boxes of fresh produce delivered from City Harvest which will be distributed to area food banks, community leaders and other places to serve New Yorkers in need of food on July 22, 2020 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. Universe City also operates an outside refrigerator that lets members of the community pick up fresh food for free. While many New York neighborhoods have long depended on charities, food banks and nonprofits to meet their nutritional needs, the COVID-19 pandemic has only multiplied the number of residents experiencing food insecurity. Across the city groups that serve those in need are seeing a huge increase in clients. According to the mayor’s office, an estimated 2 million people are currently food insecure in New York City, which is up from 1 million people before the pandemic.
