By Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA, May 16 (Reuters) - When an Israeli missile struck the residential block of the Nabhan family in Gaza four days ago, no one was killed, but a family with five disabled members were among 45 people made homeless. For the five siblings, three of whom are on wheel chairs and all five of whom suffer from physical disability, muscular dystrophy and convulsions, the misery was multiplied, as their wheelchairs, medicine, special beds and bathroom were buried under the rubble. The family now lives with relatives close to their old shelter.

"The house blew up while we were being moved out. Our wheelchairs, medicine and clothes were inside. Nothing was left," said 16-year-old Hanin, who has a disability in both legs. The others are aged 3, 18, 29 and 38. The emotional toll of losing the house seemed to have worsened the older [https://discover.hubpages.com/search?query=brother%27s%20mental brother's mental] state, as he has become very nervous, always shouting and sometimes crying, his relatives said. According to officials from Hamas, the Islamist group that controls the Gaza Strip, the latest round of Israeli air strikes, which began on May 9, have destroyed 15 residential blocks, containing more than 50 apartments. In addition, 940 buildings have been damaged, 49 beyond repair. The Israeli military says it takes every effort to limit civilian casualties and damage and accuses the militant group of hiding command centres and other military sites in residential areas. On May 13, Hanin's older brother Jalal received a call from a private number, but he went out to let his cousin respond as he stutters while [https://www.homeclick.com/search.aspx?search=talking talking].

The cousin, Hussam Nabhan, 45, tried to stall with the officer, telling him the house included disabled people, but it was all in vain, he said. "He told me you to have five minutes. We rushed to the house and found the girls lying on the ground. Thanks to the neighbours we have been able to take them out and we managed to leave the house by a miracle," he told Reuters. The mother, Najah, 57, [https://planet88boy.web.fc2.com/ penipu] said they failed to take anything from the house even the identity cards. "The house was the girls' shelter, they had got a disabled toilet, wheelchairs, a bed to sleep. Things that had been difficult to get, now there is nothing," Najah said. "How am I going to carry her after the wheeler was gone, also the (healthy) mattresses were gone," she added. The Gaza Strip is home to 2.3 million Palestinians in cities, towns, and refugee camps squeezed within an area of 365 square km (141 square miles). Its borders are sealed off by neighbouring Israel and Egypt, citing security concerns with Hamas, which runs the territory. Several wars and a 16-year-old Israeli-led blockade have crippled the enclave's already ailing economy. (Reporting by Nidal Almughrabi, Editing by William Maclean)

A rare flag flown from a polar sledge used to hunt for survivors of Captain Sir John Franklin's doomed expedition has been saved for the nation thanks to a campaign backed by Michael Palin and Dan Snow. The National Museum of the [https://hararonline.com/?s=Royal%20Navy Royal Navy] (NMRN) launched a last-ditch campaign to raise the £120,000 needed to stop the Kellet sledge flag from passing into the hands of an overseas private collector. It succeeded thanks to £98,170 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and £40,000 from the Art Fund, with match-funding from the NMRN enabling the museum to buy the flag and put it on display at its sites in Hartlepool, Portsmouth and Belfast. Arts and Heritage Minister Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay had placed a temporary export bar on the flag in September 2022.

(Andrew Matthews, PA) The flag was owned by 19th century Irish naval officer Vice-Admiral Sir Henry [https://www.blogrollcenter.com/?s=Kellett Kellett] and flown during the third of a series of expeditions from 1852 to 1854 to look for survivors, or evidence of bodies, [https://planet88boy.web.fc2.com/ bokep indonesia] after Franklin's expedition. A NMRN spokeswoman said: "Mystery surrounding the fate of the Franklin expedition and the 129 crew ignited public debate and intrigue for decades until the discovery of his two ships, HMS Erebus in 2014 and HMS Terror in 2016. "Franklin's failed expedition takes on a symbolic place within Arctic exploration, especially within the British Isles and Canada, leading to the successful mapping of the Canadian archipelago and northern mainland coastline." Professor Dominic Tweddle, NMRN director general, said: "Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Kellett's sledge flag and Franklin's expedition represent courage and fortitude in the face of adversity - core elements of our national identity that echo through our history. "They also reflect the British and global obsession with finding and navigating the Northwest Passage, as well as the Royal Navy's role in expedition and exploration from Captain Cook to Darwin and HMS Beagle, to HMS Challenger in 1872, and continuing today with HMS Protector - the ice patrol ship in Antarctica and the Southern Hemisphere."

(Andrew Matthews, PA) He added: "The National Museum is proud to have stepped forward to save the Kellett flag from being exported overseas and to continue our work linking navy to nation." Measuring 595 by 885mm within a frame of 710 by 995mm, the flag is in a fragile condition and is being assessed by the museum's conservation team for recommended treatment. NMRN conservator Rachel Trembath said: "The flag will be sent to a specialist textile conservator, who will remove the metal pins securing it to the backboard. It will need to be stabilised and issues particularly around the fragile right-hand edge will be addressed. "The decision to clean the flag will have to balance the long-term preservation needs with the historical significance of the staining and ingrained dirt. The flag will undergo testing for light sensitivity so we can display it safely." The flag was made from silk in a rich green colour with an Irish harp embroidered in golden thread to reflect Kellett's Irish heritage.

"The maker is unknown but the motto Auxilium Ab Alto translates to Help From Above." Lord Parkinson said: "I am delighted that this flag - an important link with our past, and a symbol of courage and curiosity - has been saved for the nation." "The export bar system and a tireless fundraising campaign spearheaded by The National Museum of the Royal Navy means this inspiring item will now be on public display for generations to come."

UK apos;s Sunak Says Plan Stopping Small Migrant Boats Is Working

2024-07-09T19:00:36Z

By Sarah Young LONDON, June 5 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister [https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/Rishi%20Sunak Rishi Sunak] said on Monday his plan to stop migrants arriving in small boats had reduced crossings by 20%, an update he hopes will ease criticism from his party and in the country over immigration policy. Sunak, who is expected to lead his governing Conservative Party into a national election next year, has promised to "stop the boats" from crossing the English Channel as one of his five [https://www.gov.uk/search/all?keywords=pledges pledges] after he was propelled to power in October last year. But he has been criticised by members of his own party and the public for not moving quickly enough, with people protesting about the housing of hundreds of migrants in hotels after record numbers arrived in Britain last year. "In the five months since I launched the plan, crossings are now down 20% compared to last year," Sunak told a news conference in southern England. "The plan is working," he said, adding his government was not complacent and would work hard to make sure parliament passed a new law. The opposition Labour Party said Sunak had failed to clear the backlog of tens of thousands of asylum claims and that 7,600 people had crossed the English Channel so far this year. Britain has long struggled to curb the number of arrivals on its [https://www.houzz.com/photos/query/southern southern] shores, but Sunak is keen to show his plan of securing agreements with other European countries to reduce the numbers arriving can produce results. He said a deal with Albania had meant that Britain was returning more migrants to the country and that London was increasing its provision of accommodation for those awaiting immigration decisions. Sunak said so far this year "the number of Albanian small boat arrivals has fallen by almost 90%" and that Britain was now accepting one in 50 Albanian asylum cases compared with one in five previously. More than 5,000 asylum seekers in total would be moved out of hotels - which currently cost 6 million pounds ($7.4 million) per day - into two new sites and two new vessels, the interior ministry said. Sunak urged parliament to pass his new Illegal Migration Bill, which will allow for the swift detention and deportation of people arriving on small boats back to their homeland [https://mjunaidi.com/hotwin88-slot-12 bokep indonesia] or to so-called safe third countries such as Rwanda.
