At least 32 people have been killed in D.R. Congo after an overcrowded bridge collapsed at a copper and cobalt mine.
Just last December, Congo sued Apple, accusing the tech giant of using minerals mined through forced labor and laundered through international supply chains.
BREAKING: Italian Unions and protesters kept their promises to block EVERYTHING if any harm was made to the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Naples, Italy, was the first to block the train station and now protests have also started in Rome.
FLOTILLA UPDATE: Yesterday, we finally left Greek waters and started the last leg to Gaza!
The past couple of days have been tough. The engine failed on our lead boat, Family, and couldn’t be repaired.
Reallocating us to other boats took the best part of two days and we were left without information for much of it. After nearly a month on board with the same wonderful people, I was heartbroken to part ways with them.
But I’ve now moved to a new boat, Adara, with 23 lovely & welcoming people on board, including politicians from Spain, Portugal & Latin America.
A reminder:
🚨 2-3 days to the possible interception zone
🇵🇸 4-5 days to Gaza
Updates as they happen.
We are still sailing. 37 boats are currently heading to Gaza, soon to be joined by six more from Greece.
Organisers currently believe only one boat was too badly damaged by the explosions last night to continue.
Night will come in the next few hours and, with it, the possibility of renewed attacks. We know you are watching us - thank you.
Gaza - we know this is a grain of sand compared to the suffering you experience every minute of every day. We are coming 🇵🇸❤️
🚨 FLOTILLA UPDATE: boats are finally starting to move out of the port of Bizerte, Tunisia, and towards Gaza.
After 4 days of being stationary here dealing with complex logistical problems, everyone is thrilled to be moving on with the peaceful mission to break Israel’s siege.
We expect to be sailing now without interruption for 10-14 days, collecting approx 30-40 more boats off the coasts of Tunisia, Italy and Greece.
More updates coming soon 🇵🇸
This is beyond horrifying.
New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
Among them:
• 380,000 infants under 5
• 99,000 children over 5
That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel.
Israel isn’t “defending itself.”
It is wiping out Palestinian life.
so fucking weird that israel gets to participate in the world cup while palestine can’t even if they had qualified because half if not all their squad has been decimated including coaches and referees. all martyred. shame on fifa
