Israel Hinders Polio Vaccination; U.N. Warns Gazans Getting No Food in “Beyond Catastrophic” Scenario – Havana Times

The U.N. is warning more than 1 million people in central and southern Gaza received no food rations in August, adding to a “beyond catastrophic” situation in the war-torn Palestinian enclave. Gaza’s Health Ministry, meanwhile, says Israel is hindering the delivery of polio vaccines as its military refuses to coordinate the entry of medical teams in southern Gaza.

This all comes amid ongoing Israeli aerial and ground attacks. Deaths were reported in Gaza City and the Nuseirat refugee camp earlier today. In Khan Younis, mourners grieved their murdered loved ones at Nasser Hospital, including this mother whose son was killed by an Israeli strike.

Palestinian mother: “A cry of pain comes from the depths of my heart. I want the whole world to hear it. The sound of my pain burns like fire from within. My heart is heavy, full of pain.”

As mass protests in Israel continue to demand a ceasefire and hostage release deal, Hamas has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of continuing to block a deal as he refuses to withdraw Israeli forces from Gaza’s border with Egypt.

‘Deeply disturbed’: White House calls for inquiry into killing of Ayşenur Eygi by Israeli troops | US news | The Guardian

The White House said it is “deeply disturbed” by the death of an American woman who was shot in the head by Israeli troops during a protest against Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and called for Israel to investigate her killing, which has caused strong reactions across the international community.

The US state department confirmed the death of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, a volunteer peace activist with the anti-occupation International Solidarity Movement (ISM).

Eygi – a US-Turkey dual national – died on Friday after being fatally shot during a regular protest against settlement expansion in Beita near Nablus, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

The ISM, which organises foreign volunteers in the Palestinian territories, said Israeli forces “intentionally shot and killed” an international human rights activist during the weekly protest on Friday morning. It did not name the volunteer.

“The demonstration, which primarily involved men and children praying, was met with violence from the Israeli army stationed on a hill. The volunteer died shortly after being transported to a local hospital in Nablus,” the ISM said in a statement.

The individual’s family had requested privacy as they mourn their loss, it said. “Their wish to grieve in peace should be respected by all, as they navigate this tragic and difficult situation.”

Las alas de las mariposas – Santiago Galicia Rojon Serrallonga

Derechos reservados conforme a la ley/ Copyright

Amarillo, azul, blanco, naranja, negro, rojo y verde son los colores de la naturaleza que, estampados en las alas de las mariposas, vuelan libres y plenos, tonalidades que innegablemente pertenecen al paraíso y están dedicados a alegrar y decorar un mundo bello e irrepetible que parece agotarse por tantos motivos. Policromía que enseña tanto y anda en las flores perfumadas, en los troncos de los árboles, entre las plantas y sobre las rocas, alumbrada por el sol y la vida. Tonos elegantes y modestos, brillantes y apagados, que no buscan apegos, vanidades y apetitos, porque les atrae el elíxir de la vida y consumir sus minutos y sus horas entre la paleta de la naturaleza, envueltos en perfumes y sabores, con las caricias del viento. Colores de vida breve, diseñados por la excelencia infinita que pinta y talla expresiones para deleite de un mundo que, a veces, olvida mirar con atención y descubrir lo bello y lo sublime que palpita en su interior y cautiva al admirar sus manifestaciones. Policromía y signos impresos que son mapas de la vida. Colores dibujados en alas frágiles y ligeras, capaces de renunciar al barro para volar con libertad y plenitud, en un anhelo de besar el cielo y retornar al milagro, la inmortalidad y la maravilla de sus jardines.
