Chakhaza Health Centre in Dowa was eerily empty yesterday—no medicines for a week. Clinicians say they handle 550+ cases daily, 70% being malaria. Sadly, this crisis is nationwide, with many facilities turning patients away due to severe drug shortages. #HealthCrisis#Malawi

🚨 BREAKING: GAIE RECALLED TO PRISON FOR CHRISTMAS
Gaie Delap, a 77 year old retired teacher, has been arrested and taken to a prison in Bristol after being told her wrists were too small for an electronic tag.
She had been released from prison to serve the remainder of her sentence on tag, but the company claimed they did not have one that would fit her.
Gaie was initially imprisoned for breaking a law that was drafted by an oil company funded think tank - The Policy Exchange.
She took action in 2022 to demand an end to new oil and gas licences. This is now government policy.
