The Grayzone visits the family of Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a severely malnourished toddler living in a Gaza City tent, who has become a symbol of the Israeli-imposed famine sweeping the besieged territory.

Hello, I am Yanis Varoufakis with a message from me and DiEM25, today, the 5th of July 2025, exactly 10 years after the Greek people voted overwhelmingly in a referendum to say a big, beautiful NO.
