Italy; charges and truncheons against pro-Palestine students

 The demonstrators, made up of grassroots unions, students and the Palestinian community, were charged in these two Italian cities by the police when they tried to reach the American consulate. There were various reactions to the police charges against pro-Palestinian demonstrators, in particular for what happened in Pisa but also for the events in Florence. “Tuscany is a land of democracy, dialogue, discussion. I hope that clarity will be clarified as soon as possible on what happened in a peaceful square where there were defenseless students expressing their opinion." Thus the president of the Tuscany Region Eugenio Giani, commenting on what happened in Pisa.

 After the World Food Programme, a UN-dependent body, announced to suspend deliveries of life-saving food aid to northern Gaza ... because there are "no conditions for safe distributions", another United Nations agency that assists Palestinian refugees has announced that the famine in the Gaza Strip is a "man-made disaster". "This can still be avoided through genuine political will to ensure access and protection to meaningful assistance." This was stated by Philippe Lazzarini, head of UNRWA, recalling that "the last time the UN agency was able to deliver food aid to the northern area of ​​Gaza was January 23". And since then "our appeals to send food have been rejected". And he concludes: "The days ahead will test our humanity and our values."
