Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday that Israel is in violation of international law by denying aid into Gaza, and called on Israel to replace their current structure for distributing aid amid reports of mass starvation in Gaza.

Earlier this week, over 100 aid organizations called for a lift of all restrictions on humanitarian aid into Gaza, as aid workers, doctors and journalists raise concerns about their own workers' ability to access food.

We talk to:

  • Aya Batrawy, an NPR international correspondent who has been reporting on the situation.
  • Dr. James Smith, an emergency doctor and lecturer in humanitarian policy at University College London who has delivered medical care in Gaza. 

What questions do you have about discussing consent?

The Hockey Canada verdict has sparked a conversation about consent — how it's defined in the law, what healthy relationships look like and what tools young people need to navigate these issues.

We talk to:

  • Farrah Khan, a consent educator and the CEO of Possibility Seeds, a consulting group dedicated to gender justice and equity.
  • Gillian Hnatiw, a lawyer who specializes in gender-based violence.
