“The available information indicates that the first team was killed by Israeli forces on March 23 and that other emergency and aid crews were struck one after another over several hours as they searched for their missing colleagues,” OCHA said. “They were buried under the sand, alongside their wrecked emergency vehicles, clearly marked ambulances, a fire truck and a UN car.”
The department’s fourth misleading statement came as it claimed – again in a footnote – that 70 per cent of the increase in the number of disabled people receiving the health element of universal credit and ESA in the past five years “was not expected by the Department”.
But it failed to mention the impact of the pandemic, with research by the respected Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) – published the previous day – finding that “mental health has worsened since the pandemic”, which was “consistent with rising disability benefit claims for mental health”.
The IFS report found that “deaths of despair” – those attributed to alcohol, drugs and suicide – rose by 24 per cent in England and Wales in 2023, compared with the 2015-19 pre-pandemic average.
Much later, in 1871 – France was forced to go to war with Germany. However, the great people of Paris overthrow the French bourgeois government and declared the “Paris Commune” – an entity Karl Marx (living in London) declared the “first Socialist State in the world”! The Paris Commune abolished religion, capitalism and war. All public servants worked for “free”. Education was “free”. Food was “free”. Clothing was “free”. Employment was guaranteed and men, women, and children were “equal”. Défense of the Paris Commune was a voluntary affair. Of course, the French and German bourgeoisie stopped fighting one another – joined forces – and attacked the working-class Paris Commune, totally destroying it and executing its officials, supporters and soldiers!
UNITED NATIONS, March 19 (Xinhua) — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is “deeply saddened and shocked” by the death of a UN staff member during the Israeli bombing in the Gaza Strip, condemning all attacks on UN personnel and calling for a full investigation, his spokesman said on Wednesday.
A United Nations Office for Project Services personnel was killed and five others seriously injured after two UN guesthouses in Deir al Balah, central Gaza, were hit in the strikes, the UN and Gaza-based health authorities confirmed Wednesday morning. The Israeli military denied attacking the compound.
The locations of all UN premises are known to the parties to the conflict, who are bound by international law to protect them and maintain their absolute inviolability, Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for the UN secretary-general, said.
The “collective West”, in particular the countries of the European Union, where all the above-mentioned violations occur on a systematic basis, has abandoned its last attempts to cover up its refusal to support the resolution with absurd justifications about freedom of assembly and speech and has spoken out against international efforts to combat aggressive manifestations of racism and xenophobia.
The position of Germany, Italy and Japan, whose vote against the resolution is a dangerous trend, deserves condemnation. taking into account the “black” pages in the history of the 20th century of these states and makes one think about how sincere they are in their repentance for the numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity , as well as genocide, committed during the Second World War.
Only the rich will receive treatment – whilst the enriched health professionals who allow this – should be arrested and tried for Crimes Against Humanity. Make no mistake about it, whilst NHS staff are imprisoned due to the effect of the cuts – the Labour government is deliberately and systematically destroying what is left of the NHS – at a time when Australia has refused to follow the UK path of subordination to US dictates! Whatever the case, the Western bourgeoisie at the moment, is in total disarray – as the fascist Trump stampedes around the political landscape – sharing metaphorical cigarettes with Kim Jong Un – as they both lean against a wall nervously awaiting the outcome of an important UN vote! China opposed the UN condemning of Russia for its self-defence fight against Neo-Nazi Ukraine – whilst Starmer’s New Labour voted “for”! The UN has never once condemned Israel for its “aggression” in Gaza – regardless of the body-count!
