Exclusive: Israeli forces fired on food convoy in Gaza, UN documents and satellite analysis reveals | CNN

 

Israeli forces fired on a United Nations convoy carrying vital food supplies in central Gaza on February 5, before ultimately blocking the trucks from progressing to the northern part of the territory, where Palestinians are on the verge of famine, according to documents shared exclusively by the UN and CNN’s own analysis.

CNN has seen correspondence between the UN and the Israeli military that show the convoy’s route was agreed upon by both parties prior to the strike. According to an internal incident report compiled by UNRWA, the main UN relief agency in Gaza, which was also seen by CNN, the truck was one of 10 in a convoy sitting stationary at an IDF holding point when it was fired upon.

No one in the convoy was hurt, but much of its contents – mainly wheat flour desperately needed to bake bread – were destroyed. Tracing the strike offers a window into the major challenges that humanitarian efforts face in getting aid to Gaza’s more than 2 million people – nearly 85% of whom are internally displaced – amid Israel’s nearly five-month bombardment of the strip.

“A convoy that had food on it, heading to the northern parts of the Gaza Strip. That convoy on its way in what we call the middle areas, it got hit. One of the trucks carrying supplies was hit by Israeli naval fire,” Juliette Touma, global director of communications for UNRWA, told CNN.

Man who ‘viciously assaulted’ Asian woman in Manhattan sentenced to 15 years in prison – UPI.com

A 43-year-old man has been sentenced to 15 years in state prison for viciously and repeatedly assaulting a 65-year-old Filipino woman in Midtown Manhattan in 2021.

“Brandon Elliot assaulted a 65-year-old woman because of her Filipino descent,” said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. “This attack has left lasting fear and anxiety for the victim and many in the AAPI community. I hope the closure of this case will allow the victim to continue healing and moving forward, while also sending a strong message that we will seek full accountability for anyone who commits violence against their fellow New Yorkers because of their race or ethnicity.”

Violência Doméstica – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Violência Doméstica

De acordo com o Juiz Jamilson Haddad/ Cuiabá, entre os anos de 2000 a 2010, 66 mil mulheres morriam no país. Um número comparado aos números de guerra! Então, a (ONU) Organização das Nações Unidas, acabou concedendo uma lei que desse proteção à mulher que é vítima de violência. Com isso, tivemos avanços e discussões a respeito de violência e outros direitos. Ressaltando que hoje, a mulher estando muito mais consciente, ela pode ir até uma delegacia especializada e fazer a denúncia contra o seu agressor. Mais: a lei Maria da Penha tornou-se um norte na vida da mulher que sofria e infelizmente, ainda sofre violência. Sabemos que essa luta é diária e que precisa também que o Estado promova políticas públicas para consolidar cada vez mais esses direitos.
