The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) say that one in three people is going without food for days at a time, as officials share fears of a ‘humanitarian catastrophe’ in the war-struck part of the world.
At least 16 children under five have died from hunger-related causes since mid-July, the United Nations reports.
With the bleak situation in mind, organizations have been trying to get aid into Gaza to help suffering Palestinians.
Greta Thunberg has been part of the efforts and earlier this year she was ‘kidnapped’ by Israeli forces after a Freedom Flotilla (FFC) boat she was on was intercepted.The 22-year-old went on to be deported, but this hasn’t stopped her from trying again.
The Global Sumud Flotilla sent out more than 40 boats and nearly 450 activists, carrying a symbolic amount of humanitarian aid to Gaza, but these vessels went on to be boarded by Israeli forces who detained dozens on board, including European lawmakers and Thunberg.
The organisers of the flotilla said at least 39 of their boats were intercepted or assumed to be intercepted in a night-long Israeli operation.
Israeli authorities later said only one boat remained ‘at a distance’ and would be intercepted if it approached.
Barcelona mayor Ada Colau and European Parliament member Rima Hassan were also among the detainees, says PA.
In light of the vessels being stopped, Thunberg has released a video to social media saying she’s been ‘abducted’ and once again called for her release.
« My name is Greta Thunberg. I’m a citizen of Sweden, » she says. « If you are watching this video, I have been abducted and taken against my will by Israeli forces. »
She goes on: « Our humanitarian mission was non violent, and abiding by international law. Please tell my government to demand my and the others’ immediate release. »
In an update issued today (October 3) by Israel’s Foreign Ministry, it was said that four Italian citizens have already been deported.
On March 2, residents spotted what appeared to be a flying object zig-zagging over the city of Buga, Colombia, in such a way that no Earthy aircraft is apparently capable of.
The metallic ball that was documented in several TikTok videos, and now dubbed the ‘Buga Sphere’, was later recovered after it allegedly ‘landed’ in a field, with researchers noting it had strange symbols on it and have since ruled it to be a genuine UFO, The Mirror reports.
Now, scientists claim to have made even more shocking discoveries inside the mysterious orb, which is growing in weight – though not in size – and can apparently also levitate.Amongst the eerie findings of the Buga Sphere is its core, as researchers say they found three layers of a metal-like material, as well as 18 microspheres around a central nucleus they are calling a ‘chip’.
A new paper about the supposed artefact reveals a microscope was set to 2,000 times to expose hidden wires that are invisible to the human eye, that reportedly all run in different directions and connect on the sphere’s surface, like a microchip.
Rodolfo Garrido, a Mexican engineer working with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) on the sphere, said new evidence has also pointed to suggest a decaying ionized field is coming from it.
Speaking to Maussan Televisión, Garrido stunned viewers when he said the orb has since increased in weight since it landed more than three months ago, coming in at five times heavier despite never changing volume.He also said to UFO expert Jaime Maussan on the TV program Interstellar that the sphere is capable of generating its own electromagnetic field, which can be used to levitate off the ground.
It is believed the sphere’s flight and levitation ability was abruptly cut short when it collided with a power cable.
During the broadcast this week, Maussan commented: « This is just the beginning. Strategies and plans are already being developed.
« Various laboratories have been hired to attempt reverse engineering to understand how this sphere works. »However, others are somewhat skeptical about the whole debacle, with Dr Julia Mossbridge of the University of San Diego’s Department of Physics and Biophysics slamming the outlandish reports and saying the sphere is merely a ‘man-made art project.’
However, she said that while initial X-rays of the sphere could not reveal how the object was built, there is little evidence linking the metal orb to that of the flying object seen in videos posted on social media.
Maussan has also been at the heart of controversy over similar stories in the past, such as his claims of having found real UFO sightings only for them to be debunked as comets or stars in the sky.
Nicolas Maduro has issued his first comments following his capture after the US went into Venezuela and detained the president.
Donald Trump revealed on Saturday (January 3) that the US had struck Venezuela’s capital city Carcas in the early morning and had captured the nation’s president and wife, Nicolas Maduro and Cilia Flores.
This came as a massive shock to much of the international community, and Trump held a lengthy press conference later that day giving more details.
In the press conference, he said: “We are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition.
“We don’t want to be involved with having somebody else get in, and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years, so we are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition.”He also added that Maduro and his wife would face the full extent of US justice.
Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States.
As well as this, a video has begun to circulate online showing Maduro being escorted into DEA headquarters in New York.
He briefly utters a surprising three-word statement, as cameras capture the moment.
With a small smile, he says: “Happy New Year.”During his speech on Saturday, Trump praised the successful operation and also repeatedly condemned Maduro.
He said: “No nation in the world could achieve what America achieved yesterday, or frankly, in just a short period of time.
« All Venezuelan military capacities were rendered perilous as the men and women of our military, working with US law enforcement, successfully captured Maduro in the dead of night.
“The lights of Caracas were largely turned off due to a certain expertise that we have. It was dark, and it was deadly.
« But captured along with his wife, Cilia Flores, both of whom now face American justice, Maduro and Flores have been indicted in the Southern District of New York, with Jay Clayton, for their campaign of deadly narco-terrorism against the United States and its citizens.
“I want to thank the men and women of our military who achieved such an extraordinary success overnight with breathtaking speed, power, precision, and competence.”
