India's politicians power election victories by dishing out freebies 
MUMBAI — Freebies are powering election victories in India, but can its states afford them?Over the years, handouts have taken different forms in the hotly contested political landscape of the world's largest democracy. Voters have been lured with everything from television sets to bicycles and sometimes even gold ornaments — blurring the fine line between welfare economics and pre-poll populism.In recent years, cash transfers, especially directed towards women, have become a popular election-winning strategy for political parties of all stripes.A sweeping victory last week in the eastern state of Bihar — India's poorest state — for an alliance led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is being credited in part to a 10,000 rupee ($112; £85.18) cash handout to the state's...

Displaced Palestinians have nowhere else to go after so much of Gaza was devastated in the war
Shelters plea for Gazans as winter rains raise fears of more disease and death
JERUSALEM — Aid agencies have reiterated calls for Israel to allow more tents and urgently needed supplies into Gaza after the first heavy winter rainfall, saying more than a quarter of a million families need emergency help with shelters."We are going to lose lives this winter. Children, families will perish," says Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC)."It's actually so frustrating that we've now lost so many crucial weeks since the adoption of the Trump peace plan, which said humanitarian aid would flow and the Palestinians would not needlessly continue to suffer."With a majority of the population displaced by two-years of a devastating war, most Gazans now live in tents — many of them makeshift.They have been clearing up after widespread...
