• Over 500 Gazans have been evacuated to France since November 2023
• Evacuations were paused after a student already in France posted anti-Semitic content and was subsequently expelled to Qatar
• The Foreign Ministry launched a review to determine how authorities failed to detect the posts before her entry
• Artists and researchers fall under a programme called Pause that began in 2017
• It has benefited more than 700 people from 44 countries, including Syria, Turkey, Iran, and Sudan
• Since the start of the Gaza war, it has also included 45 Gazan beneficiaries
• Unlike students, they are allowed to bring their families to France

• Area carpets or rugs are the easiest way to segregate spaces while also unifying them.
• Lighting can help define areas. Try pendant lighting over dining tables, and side and floor lamps in living areas.
• Keep the colour palette the same in a room, but combine different tones and textures in different zone. A common accent colour dotted throughout the space brings it together.
• Don’t be afraid to use furniture to break up the space. For example, if you have a sofa placed in the middle of the room, a console unit behind it will give good punctuation.
• Use a considered collection of prints and artworks that work together to form a cohesive journey.

• Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
• Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
• Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
• Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
• Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.
