Pro-Palestine protesters block New York Times distribution centre
Demonstrators disrupted a New York Times distribution centre on Wednesday night to protest against the US news outlet’s coverage of the war on Gaza.
During the protest in New York City, which was organised by the group Writers Against the War on Gaza and others, protesters held signs and unfurled banners that read “Stop the presses, free Palestine” and “Consent for genocide is manufactured here”.
The Times has come under fire recently for its reporting on the war after a leak within the company exposed the level of internal disagreements about the outlet’s coverage of the October 7 Hamas attack.
Second ship loaded with aid for Gaza to leave Cyprus
A second ship docked in Cyprus is being loaded with aid for Gaza in preparation for a new mission to deliver humanitarian aid via sea to the besieged Strip, the charity behind the operation told Al Jazeera. World Central Kitchen (WCK) said in a statement that it was preparing about 300 tonnes of food aid.
“Our pallets should be screened and loaded by the end of the day,” WCK said, adding that it was unable to confirm when the ship would be able to leave Larnaca. The rescue vessel Open Arms, owned by the charity by the same name, departed for Gaza on Tuesday as a first pilot shipment of humanitarian aid.
About 10 trucks worth of aid, better than air drops at least or rather equal with days in between shipments. Still no idea how they will offload and distribute it in Gaza.
