The Truth ·

2025/07/09

The hungriest place on Earth -- that’s how the United Nations has described Gaza. Months of a total Israeli blockade -- on top of severely reduced aid supplies -- have left 2.3 million Palestinians facing famine. Hundreds of deaths have been reported due to shortages of food, water and medicine. Tonnes of aid are waiting at the border, but the UN says only a trickle is being allowed through. So, is Israel using starvation as a weapon of war? And what effects will famine and hunger have on

2025/07/05

In what marks a major shift for NATO, the bloc's member states have agreed to raise defence spending to five percent of gross domestic product (GDP). The move will inject billions more dollars into armies and weapons, raising questions over how governments will foot the bill. With public budgets under strain, many European politicians dismissed the target as unachievable earlier this year, when US President Donald Trump demanded it.

In Fallout Zone, we explore the intensifying geopolitical tensions between the United States and China in the South Pacific and expose the region’s ever-growing strategic importance. We travel to Hawaii, where a significant US military presence has had far-reaching implications not only on the region’s environment but also on Indigenous communities of Hawaii.
