Bosnia: Migrants return to burnt tent camp as relocation fails | News | DW | 31.12.2020 (unacceptable – they need help now!)

Migrants walk back to the Lipa camp

Hundreds of migrants in Bosnia were left out in the cold for another night as attempts to relocate them after a blaze destroyed their camp failed.

The migrants were supposed to be taken from the Lipa camp in northwestern Bosnia to a former army barracks in the central town of Konjic on Tuesday. But protests by the town’s residents and disagreement among local authorities meant the migrants ended up spending about 24 hours in evacuation buses.

On Wednesday afternoon they were eventually told to disembark and return to the now-empty camp.

“The buses are leaving the Lipa area and the migrants have been left behind,” Nermin Kljajic, the Interior Ministry chief in Unsko-Sanska county, told news portal Klix.ba.

Operation Warp Speed Behind Schedule: Vaccinating Americans Could Take 10 Years at Current Pace : US News : Latin Post – Latin news, immigration, politics, culture

Operation Warp Speed did not appear to be moving fast enough as a jarring analysis found that it could take almost 10 years to inoculate all Americans at current pace.

Israel needs to form a Jewish-Arab party to change the game – The Jerusalem Post

The way to get beyond slogans and shallow political propaganda is by challenging ourselves to create a new paradigm of politics that will seriously confront the reality of what Israel has become. The new political prototype must be one that presents a new vision of what we believe the State of Israel needs to become.

We must fight for equality for all in Israel. A multi-ethnic, Jewish-Arab, Left party needs to be identified with the struggles for social justice, equality, worker’s rights, women’s rights, the LGBTQ communities’ rights, and haredim who live in poverty, providing a voice and a home for all people facing discrimination.

At the same time and as part of the same struggle, we must refocus attention on the inadmissibility and the injustice of a military occupation denying millions of non-citizens  political, human, economic and social rights. These are all part of the same calling card that we need to create and present, not through hollow words, or through the falsity of finding a few names to place on a political party list as tokens of what they are supposed to represent.

We need a genuine Jewish-Arab political party. The easiest way to create such a party is for Meretz and Hadash to merge, and from my point of view, I would like to see Ayman Odeh lead the party. But if those two parties do not merge then we need to create something new which is joint Jewish-Arab.

That joint party would advocate support for the ongoing regional peace process but would emphasize renewing genuine negotiations with the Palestinians. This party would work for legislating the Basic Law for Equality for all Israelis. It would advocate for a free-market economy based on social democratic values that provide social safety nets and include intensive investments in closing all of the social-economic gaps in the country and taking responsibilities for too many of the social services that have been wrongfully privatized over the past years.

ICU doctor: Gatherings are ‘turning hospitals into morgues’ in L.A. County – San Gabriel Valley Tribune

The unrelenting surge of new patients continued on Wednesday with 7,546 COVID-19 patients in L.A. County hospitals, 1,528 of them in intensive care units, based on a state dashboard that also showed the county with just 330 available ICU beds in a county of roughly 10 million people. Intensive care hospitalizations were up 1,000% in the last two months countywide.

At the county’s four DHS hospitals, nearly half of their 1,000 patients were being treated with COVID. Roughly two-thirds of people in ICUs were COVID patients, Ghaly said.

As the numbers of patients in hospitals keep increasing, so, too, do the deaths. More than 10,000 people in L.A. County have now died from COVID-19, amounting to roughly 150 people per day on average this week, nearly matching the 170 on average per day who die of all other causes in L.A. County.
