<p>Canada will halt future arms sales to Israel, said the country’s foreign affairs minister Mélanie Joly, on Tuesday (Mar 19) following a non-binding vote in the House of Commons. Meanwhile, Britain’s deputy prime minister defended Israel’s right to protect itself while calling for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza on humanitarian grounds.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Canada to halt arms sales to Israel</strong></h2>

<p>In an interview with the Toronto Star, Joly confirmed that her government would halt future arms shipments to Israel after a parliamentary motion, introduced by the New Democratic Party (NDP), passed 204-117.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The NDP, which supports Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority government, introduced the motion following frustration over what they said was his failure to do enough to protect civilians in Gaza amid the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The motion passed&nbsp;Monday (Mar 18) night after a last-minute deal between Trudeau’s Liberal Party and the NDP. The Canadian government previously said that it had paused issuing military export permits to Israel and it would be assessing applications on “a case-by-case basis”.</p>

<p>After the motion was passed, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, a lobby group, called it “misguided” as it does not “effectively address the humanitarian crisis” in Gaza or “liberate Gazans from the tyrannical rule” of Hamas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel, the Trudeau government has asserted Israel’s right to defend itself but has eventually grown critical of its current assault on Gaza.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The United Kingdom Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden, on Tuesday, said that Israel has a right to protect itself, amid the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza prompting mounting international criticism of the Israeli government’s assault on the Palestinian enclave.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dowden said that the British government is “continuously” urging Israel to abide by international humanitarian law and raised concerns about getting aid into Gaza.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“That’s why we are calling for an immediate ceasefire to allow that aid in, and crucially, the hostages to come out,” he told the news agency Reuters.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The United Nations human rights chief&nbsp;Volker Türk&nbsp;on Tuesday said Israel’s restrictions on humanitarian aid for Gaza may amount to a starvation tactic and could be a war crime.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I continue to support Israel’s right to defend itself, not only for the sake of Israel but also I think around the world we should be standing up to this kind of barbarism,” said Dowden.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A woman in Wales named Stacey A'Hearne has appealed for assistance concerning her three-year-old daughter's rare condition, which involves&nbsp;a compulsion to eat&nbsp;household items.</p>

<p>A'Hearne recounted the challenge of preventing her daughter, Wynter, from consuming dangerous materials like wall plaster, sofa foam, and high chair components. Wynter, diagnosed with autism, had suffered from a unique feeding disorder called pica, characterised by cravings for non-edible objects, endangering her well-being.</p>

<p>"She is literally eating the whole house. I bought a brand-new sofa and she's taken chunks out of it," Ms A'Hearne was quoted as saying&nbsp;by&nbsp;Metro.</p>

<p>"She's really fussy with normal food but she'll sit and eat a sponge. She's smashed about eight photo frames and tried to eat the glass," she&nbsp;said.</p>

<p>"No matter what she finds a way to eat things that she shouldn't. Luckily, she's never really hurt herself as I very closely monitor her. But it's a full-time job watching her," she added.</p>

<h2><strong>Diagnosed with rare condition</strong></h2>

<p>A'Hearne observed Wynter waking up during the night to chew on her cot and blanket.</p>

<p>According to the New York Post, she noticed Wynter putting objects in her mouth as an infant but initially didn't consider it concerning. However, around 13 months ago, Wynter's development took an abrupt turn.</p>

<p>Wynter became non-verbal, and her atypical eating behaviours intensified, prompting Stacey to seek assistance from her healthcare provider, who then referred her to specialists.</p>

<p>"Pica can be more common in children who have autism - which Wynter has too. I think it's a sensory thing, and she craves the different textures. She has very severe autism which means she doesn't speak much and has some behavioural issues," said A'Hearne.</p>
