Human Rights Watch said on Thursday that Israel's total blockade of the Gaza Strip, in place since March 2, has become "a tool of extermination".
For weeks, humanitarian organisations and the UN have warned that supplies from food and clean water to fuel and medicine are reaching new lows.
For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective, FRANCE 24 welcomes Sandrine Simon, Director of Health and Advocacy at Médecins du Monde.

The big bearded beret neighbour a bit worried by the clouds though. 🤔
The image depicts a serene rural scene under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, a low stone wall runs parallel to a road, with a section of the wall featuring an archway. The wall's texture is rough, with a mix of light and dark stones, and it appears weathered, suggesting age. A blue car is partially visible on the left side of the image, indicating the presence of a road.
Beyond the wall, a lush green vineyard is visible, with rows of grapevines stretching across the landscape. The vineyard is bordered by a variety of trees, including tall cypress trees, adding to the rural charm. In the background, a house with a light-colored facade and a terracotta roof is partially obscured by the trees, blending into the natural surroundings.
Power lines run across the top of the image, adding a touch of modernity to the otherwise idyllic setting. The overall composition of the image conveys a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature.

The image features a vinyl record album cover titled "Zoot Sims with Bucky Pizzarelli." The cover shows a man in a suit playing a saxophone, set against a backdrop of green foliage. The text is prominently displayed in white with a shadow effect, making it stand out against the darker background. The record label "CJ" is visible at the bottom right corner of the cover. To the left of the album cover, there is a turntable with a black platter and a wooden base, bearing the logo "LINN SONDERR." The turntable is placed on a white surface, possibly a table or shelf. Below the album cover, there is a red container with various items inside, including what appears to be a woven basket and some small objects. The overall setting suggests a music enthusiast's space, with the album cover and turntable as focal points.

Postboxes Version 1.1
The Postbox and Zen Postbox add-ons have been updated with a bunch of new styles!
* Solid Colors renamed to match HTML color names
* 24 new solid colors added
* 5 new gradient backgrounds added
* 17 new pattern backgrounds added
* 11 animated backgrounds added
* Fixed the load order so it overrides Postbox styles in Bookface if present
The previous solid color names have been mapped to the new ones, so any existing Postboxes in your feed using the old names will still look good.
The gradient backgrounds were ones that got missed from the initial release and are similar to the ones Facebook used to offer.
The pattern backgrounds all use pure CSS, no images, so they will render fast and do not incur an additional resource load from the server.
The animated backgrounds are exclusively available on servers that use either of the two add-ons. None of the animated styles are included in the Bookface scheme because some of them use SVG images. They use pure CSS animation as well, no JS code or animated GIF images.
Notice how I said the gradients were similar to the ones Facebook used to offer? Shortly after I introduced Postboxes to Friendica the backgrounds on Facebook were coincidentally(?) completely overhauled. IMO Friendica now has a nicer selection anyway and even Facebook doesn’t offer animated post backgrounds.

You can see a live demo of the animated ones here: randompenguin1.github.io/sampl…
They are coded to stop animating when you hover or touch them, adopting a default appearance. I did it that way because "animation-play-state" is still a bit unreliable and I liked the idea of them having a "poster" state rather than just pausing at where ever they were in the animation loop.

Emilio Vedova. Questa è pittura | Fondazione Vedova
La potenza del gesto e del segno della pittura di Emilio Vedova (Venezia, 1919-2006) sono al centro della mostra Questa è pittura allestita al Forte di Bard, dal 30 novembre 2024 al 2 giugno 2025. Il progetto, curato da Gabriella Belli, vuole presentare l’opera di Vedova nella sua valenza pittorica, sfuggendo da ogni tentazione di lettura dettagliatamente storica o socio-politica, per indirizzare lo sguardo verso l’eccellenza della sua pittura, che sempre stupisce per la folgorazione del colore e la vitalità della sua materia, espressione tra le più alte dell’informale europeo.

in reply to 🍀 Egghat НетBойне 🍀 • • •Es ist so traurig. Ich kann mich an ein Interview erinnern, in der man ihre Enttäuschung sehr spürte und es ihr ansah. Ihr fehlten gar die Worte am Schluss. 😔
James Baldwin dazu:
„Ich vermute, einer der Gründe, warum Menschen so hartnäckig an ihrem Hass festhalten, ist, weil sie spüren: wenn der Hass einmal verschwunden ist, werden sie gezwungen sein, sich mit Schmerz zu beschäftigen."
