Dead horses, scraps, leaves: Gaza's hungry get desperate
13 Sept 09:54Key points summarised by AI
Gaza residents, especially in Jabalia refugee camp, face extreme food shortages, compelling families to resort to desperate measures like slaughtering horses and consuming scavenged scraps, animal fodder, and leaves.
Aid agencies report "unprecedented levels of desperation," with the UN warning 2.2 million people are on the brink of famine, and a baby has already died from malnutrition.
Soaring food prices and blockades on aid exacerbate the crisis, leading to public protests against starvation, genocide, and the ongoing blockade.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
