🇮🇩💔 CNN Indonesia journalist Irene Whardanie broke down live on air from Aceh Tamiang, Indonesia.
After more than three weeks since the disaster, she reported that nothing has meaningfully changed. Children are going hungry, standing by the roadside waiting for food that isn’t coming.
She couldn’t hold back tears seeing the conditions or the slow response.
Residents asked journalists to tell the truth about what’s happening, not to soften it or cover it up.
This is Margaret Pacetta, 70, from Glasgow, and she is the first of four Scots to be deported by Israel after she was detained and imprisoned for taking part in the Global Sumud Flotilla
Pacetta arrived in Istanbul Airport on Saturday afternoon along with 136 other activists

JUST IN: Greta Thunberg told Swedish officials she is facing harsh treatment in Israeli custody after being abducted by Israel
Swedish Foreign Ministry said Thunberg reported dehydration, lack of food and water, and rashes from bedbug-infested cells, adding she was forced to sit for long periods on hard surfaces.
— Greta Thunberg, a brave woman, is only 22 years old
— She was humiliated and wrapped in an Israeli flag and exhibited like a trophy
— They took every opportunity to humiliate, any of us.
— I had the feeling of being in a really barbaric place
Italian journalist Lorenzo Agostino cited the treatment of Swedish activist who was on board the same flotilla tells Anadolu https://t.co/Q3XiT2nf3p
Turkish Sumud Flotilla activist Ikbal Gurpınar:
They made us wait under the sun, leaving us hungry and thirsty.
On the prison walls, there were Arabic writings; those who had been held there since 2019 had written their children's names.
Now I understand Gaza better.
This is what western states call the only democracy of the Middle East. Torturers through and through.
Cut ties with Israel now.
Break the blockade NOW.
End genocide, illegal occupation and apartheid.
JUST IN: A Turkish activist from the Sumud Flotilla speaks out:
Israelis prevented us from having medicine, they only gave us water after 32 hours. We barely had any food.
We were woken up at 3 in the morning with dogs and snipers walking into our rooms, they woke us up every 2 hours to prevent us from sleeping.
They did this to us, innocent citizens, it could only let us imagine what they do to Palestinians.
You have to understand that Isra3l have no legal rights over international waters, no legal rights over gaza's waters (which the flotilla is heading towards), and no rights as declared by ICJ to stop humanitarian aid to Gaza. Let the world know what kind of evil they are
It sucks learning about international law & justice in law school only to learn that those laws are not respected & can be broken without repercussions.
Israel has captured the non-violent sumud flotilla convoys carrying food & baby formulas & humanitarian aids. Heartbreaking.
Not enough people are talking about this. My village and a few others were officially annexed this Saturday, now a part of “Israel,” Palestinians living there no longer have a Palestinian ID number and need a permit to live and travel on their land, and it can be revoked anytime.
hell is not hot enough for some of you raji has been surviving a genocide for the last two years what part of surviving a genocide is not clicking for yall im so sorry you have to deal with all this raji
This is actually INSANE! she's taking a major hit career-wise this action alone, ntm the enemies she's created by firing her manager & being loudly pro pal! Don't ever tell me "big celebs" CAN'T show solidarity coz they'll 'lose' a lot in the process. This is how you SHOW TF UP!
Jerry wanted you to hear this from him.
We built Ben & Jerrys to stand for peace and love. It was needed then and it’s needed more than ever now. Which is why @MagnumGlobal must #FreeBenAndJerrys
See Jerry’s full message at https://t.co/p8Qqyw3Ei5 and be part of the campaign.
Ben & Jerry’s is the only major company I know of that has repeatedly lobbied for Black American Reparations. Two older men with access who have no incentive other than justice, are now being punished and silenced for their unwavering support of Palestine. I’m not heartbroken, im galvanized. We continue to fight the good fight ✊🏾
This is WILD. Ben & Jerry's own co-founder says their parent company, Unilever, is SILENCING them from speaking out against "the genocide in Gaza."
He's literally on the street protesting to get his company's soul back.
