     Gaza aid flotilla grounded after flags removed, activists say

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: "On Friday afternoon, before the inspection was even completed, The Guinea-Bissau International Ships Registry (GBISR), in a blatantly political move, informed the Freedom Flotilla Coalition that it had withdrawn the Guinea Bissau flag from two of the Freedom Flotilla's ships, one of which is our cargo ship," said activist and human rights lawyer Huwaida Arraf. The ships were due to sail on Friday with more than 5,000 tonnes of aid cargo, she added. Reuters has requested comment from The Guinea-Bissau International Ships Registry regarding the outcome of the inspection and reason for removal of the flags from two ships. Turkish Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) is the primary organizer of the civilian Freedom Flotilla Coalition which is comprised of human rights activists, including lawyers, doctors, and nurses who came together to deliver aid directly to Gaza. Health authorities in Gaza said on Thursday (April 25) that Israel has killed at least 34,305 Palestinians in its assault on the enclave. Israel is retaliating against an Oct. 7 Hamas attack that killed 1,200 people and led to 253 taken hostage, according to Israeli tallies.

     STORY: They called on all the countries involved in the negotiation between Israel and Hamas "seize this moment and get a deal done to reunite all of us with our loved ones and end the suffering in this region." The short video, which is undated, showed the 23-year-old missing his lower arm, which was blown off during the Hamas-led attack in October, but otherwise apparently healthy. His mother has been campaigning actively for the release of her son, who was abducted at the Nova music festival that was attacked by Hamas gunmen early on Oct. 7 and is one of 133 Israeli hostages still in captivity after more than 100 were released last year.

     Eurovision host Sweden braces for anti-Israel protests

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: The Swedish city of Malmo is gearing up to host the Eurovision Song Contest against a backdrop of heightened security and planned protests over Israel’s participation. Eurovision is the biggest contest of its kind in the world. Two hundred million people are expected to tune in. And about 100,000 are expected to travel to Sweden’s third-largest city. Earlier this month, protesters denounced Israel’s participation in a protest outside Malmo’s City Hall. And multiple large pro-Palestinian protests are planned outside the contest venue. Protest signs are already up around the city. Malmo resident Orwa Kadoura is a Palestinian who is helping to organize protests. The feelings around Israel’s participation, he says, are difficult and multi-layered, including anger, sadness and a feeling of injustice. The European Broadcasting Union — or EBU — organizes the contest. It’s resisted calls for Israel to be excluded over the war in Gaza and says the event is non-political. Still, the EBU banned Russia in 2022 after several European public broadcasters called for the country to be expelled over its invasion of Ukraine. This time around, Israeli contestant Eden Golan will be under the spotlight, along with her song, “Hurricane.” Israel got the green light to compete after agreeing to modify the lyrics of its original song, “October Rain,” which the EBU said made reference to the October 7 Hamas onslaught in Israel. Organizers face the risk of protests escalating into violence, heightened terror threats in the country, as well as increased tensions with Russia after Sweden's NATO membership. Police say security will be tighter compared to the last time Sweden hosted the event in 2016. The contest’s executive producer Ebba Adielsson says her focus is on the visitors coming to Sweden from over 80 countries. “This is my focus and I really hope that people will feel this and be united by music." Those visitors will have to pass through airport-like security checks when entering venues. The contest takes place from May 7 to 11.

     Germany to resume funding UNRWA Palestinian agency

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: Germany plans to resume funding of the UN Palestinian agency, or UNRWA. That's according to a statement from the country’s foreign and development ministries on Wednesday (April 24). Earlier this year, Israel accused hundreds of UNRWA staff of being military operatives in so-called terrorist groups in Gaza. A number of countries including the U.S. and Britain then paused payments to UNRWA, a severe blow to the agency that provides education, health and aid to millions of Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. But a new report released on Monday concluded that Israel had not provided enough evidence to back up its claims. The review was led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna, looking into UNRWA’s ability to ensure neutrality. "Overall, the findings of the review are that UNRWA has in place a very significant number of mechanisms and procedures to ensure compliance with the humanitarian principle of neutrality.” A separate UN probe is also investigating Israel’s accusation that 12 UNRWA staff took part in the Hamas-led October 7 attacks. Norway, which is a major donor to UNRWA, on Tuesday called on donors to resume funding, arguing that the donation cuts have put the population of Gaza at risk. Ten countries have resumed their donation following the review. The U.S., UK, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, and Lithuania have not yet done so. A U.N. spokesperson on Monday said UNRWA currently only had enough funding to pay for operations until June.

     Gaza Strip could reach famine in six weeks, WFP says

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: "We are getting closer by the day to a famine situation," said Gian Carlo Cirri, Geneva director of the WFP. A U.N.-backed report published in March said that famine was imminent and likely to occur by May in northern Gaza and could spread across the enclave by July. On Tuesday, a U.S. official said the risk of famine in Gaza, especially in the north, was very high. Cirri was speaking at the launch of a report by the Global Network Against Food Crises, an alliance of humanitarian and development actors including United Nations agencies, the World Bank, the European Union and the United States. In its report, the network described the 2024 outlook for the Middle East and Africa as extremely concerning due to the Gaza war and restricted humanitarian access, as well as the risk of the conflict spreading elsewhere in the region. The United Nations has long complained of obstacles to getting aid in and distributing it throughout Gaza in the six months since Israel began an aerial and ground offensive against Gaza's ruling Islamist militant group Hamas. Israel has denied hindering supplies of humanitarian aid and blames aid agencies for inefficiencies in distribution.
