You have to scroll a bit on the #UN news website, here (pic 1) is the entry re their concerns that #Israel’s #Jabalya#Refugee camp #airstrikes may be #WarCrimes. + a screenshot of the cited social media post (pic 2).
"Strikes on the Jabalya #refugee camp in northern #Gaza killed and injured hundreds of people Tuesday...
The breakdown of dead and wounded has yet to be determined amid ongoing rescue efforts. Footage from the scene streamed by Al Jazeera showed dozens of people digging through rubble to reach victims trapped underneath." #GiftArticle#GiftLink https://wapo.st/3SmyQFo
#Palestinian health officials say at least 15 people were killed in an #Israeli attack in the densely populated Jabalia refugee camp in the north of the #Gaza Strip.
#BBC Arabic filmed some of the destruction left by the airstrike.
The #refugee crisis, the #climate crisis and the crisis of late stage financialized capitalism are inextricably intertwined. We are experiencing the inevitable collapse of the prior globalized financial neo-liberal system which itself was built on the collapse of the post-war social democratic system. We now seem to be witnessing the replacement off globalozed neo-liberal system with a militarized oligarchic politics built on foundations of sand.

Ben Sharrock’s critically adored #film Limbo is a wry, funny &poignant cross-cultural satire that subtly sews together the hardship &hope of the #refugee experience.

GENEVA (AP) — The U.N. human rights office expressed grave concern over the forced repatriation of North Koreans from China and elsewhere after facing criticism from rights groups for its “unacceptable silence” on the issue.
But oh, it gets worse, as #Refugee charity, #Care4Calais is now reporting the government did NOT inform #Refugees about the presence of #Legionnaire's disease on the #BibbyStockholm prison barge, or immediately move them off once they knew it was there.
Worse, there is the possibility they were still moving refugees onto the barge even once the problem was known.
When impacts of unprecedented heat are expressed not in monetary terms but in numbers of exposed people …
The paper shows that #climatechange has already put ~9% of people (>600 million) outside the ‘human climate niche’ (defined by mean annual temperature ≥29 °C).
By end-of-century (2080–2100), current policies leading to around 2.7 °C global warming could leave one-third (22–39%) of people outside the niche.
With the number of #refugees worldwide at an all-time high, there is a need to hear the stories of lesser-known #refugee communities, especially in #Asia.
Ok, just became a #Mastodon#Refugee from #Mastodofi. Was wondering if I should even migrate somewhere else. The only other #Finnish is now Mastodontti, which is moderated to be Finnish language only.

So I looked around and saw this server is in #Germany and run by a foundation with a #Patreon
