Ukraine sends humanitarian flour shipment to Palestinians
Ukraine says that it had sent flour to the Palestinian territories as part of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Grain from Ukraine initiative to ship free agricultural supplies to poor countries and regions.
“Palestine received 1,000 tons of wheat flour,” Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry posted on X.
“The shipment is the first of three deliveries intended for Palestine … It will support over 101,000 Palestinian families for a month,” it said.
Italy sends humanitarian flight with aid for Gaza people
Italy sent food supplies and health equipment for the Gaza population on board a humanitarian flight that landed in Jordan.
Aid includes more than 60 tonnes of food, hygiene kits and sanitary equipment, along with 150 tents, a foreign ministry statement said.
“With this operation we give a tangible demonstration of the attention that the Italian government is dedicating to the humanitarian situation in the Strip,” Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said, adding Italy is committed “to do everything possible to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian population in Gaza”.
Italy said in May it would allocate $32.8m in a Food for Gaza plan as it resumed funding for the UN’s Palestinian relief organisation, UNRWA.
Teachers in US union push for Israel divestment
Members of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), one of the largest US unions, have put forth a resolution to divest from Israel bonds.
“The AFT holds only one bond of a foreign government, … a country internationally accused of committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide,” they wrote in a statement.
The AFT’s Israel bond, “which helps fund Israel’s scholasticide and genocide, and pays for Israel’s longstanding occupation of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the apartheid regime against Palestinians everywhere”, is valued at $150,000.
AFT’s investment makes it complicit in the ongoing #genocide in #Gaza that has damaged or destroyed nearly 90% of schools (#scholasticide) & killed tens of thousands of children & teachers as well as the maintenance of Israel’s #apartheid regime & illegal military occupation
