Israeli Forces 'Kill Pregnant Women In Gaza, Run Over Bodies With Bulldozers': Report

 

Pregnant women in peril from Israel’s bombardment

23 December, 2023

Four pregnant women were gunned down by Israeli bulldozers in Gaza’s Tal al-Zaatar, Al Jazeera Arabic reported on Saturday.

Eyewitnesses told Al Jazeera reporter Anas al-Sharif that the bodies of the pregnant women were run over by the bulldozers and left unburied among piles of other bodies in Tal al-Zaatar.

This comes after the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza said on Saturday that at least 20,258 people had been killed in the besieged Palestinian territory since the start of war on October 7.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA said at least 18 Palestinians were killed and dozens others wounded in an air strike on a house in Nuseirat in central Gaza.

Despite mounting international calls for a ceasefire, Israel has vowed that it will keep fighting until Hamas is destroyed and removed from power in Gaza and hostages are released.

On Friday, the UN Security Council adopted a watered-down resolution that calls for immediately speeding up aid deliveries to desperate civilians in Gaza, but not for a ceasefire.

Shocking: About 200 women arrested in Pakistan, hundreds gather to protest against atrocities

Dec 23, 2023

In Islamabad, a women-led rally faced police crackdown, arresting over 200 protestors. Led by human rights activist Mahrang Baloch, the rally sought justice for disappeared men in Balochistan. Ongoing nationwide protests, spanning weeks, clashed with police in Islamabad's Red Zone. The zone hosts crucial government offices and became a focal point for the confrontation. Mahrang Baloch reported her arrest and the police attack on social media. Circulating videos depict forceful police actions against protestors. Triggered by a Baloch man's death in police custody, the protests demand accountability for enforced disappearances. Demonstrators seek answers on undocumented arrests in Balochistan. Balochistan's long-standing nationalist movement fuels decades of protests. Recent protests follow the arrest of BalachMola Bakhsh, held for nearly a month, accused of explosives possession; his bail plea was set for November 24.

Meghalaya Catholic priests can 'bless' same sex-couples sans marriage rite

Dec 24, 2023

GUWAHATI: The Archdiocese of Shillong on Friday allowed Catholic priests in Meghalaya to bless same-sex couples, but clarified that the blessing will be in "informal words" and won't signify approval of the union. This development comes days after Pope Francis approved this historic change in Vatican policy.

The Shillong Archdiocese is the first diocese of the Northeast. In a letter to the priests, Archbishop Victor Lyngdoh wrote that the blessings to same-sex couples will be without any type of ritual of the Church that resembles a marriage rite. It will be a "spontaneous prayer of a priest with informal words," the Archbishop wrote, underlining that "this (the blessing) is not to be mistaken as the official liturgical and ritual blessings of the Church during marriage".

The Archbishop referred to 'FiduciaSupplicans', Pope Francis's declaration issued on December 18 which "stresses on the pastoral meaning of blessings".

"Pope Francis has urged us not to 'lose pastoral charity, which should permeate all our decisions and attitudes' and to avoid being 'judges who only deny, reject, and exclude'. Let us then respond to the Holy Father's proposal by developing a broader understanding of blessings," the 'FiduciaSupplicans' declaration states.

Muslim women in London create a 'safe space' to rally for Palestine

Lemma Shehadi

Dec 24, 2023

Muslim women in London have come together to create a “safe space” at the Palestine protests.

AbiramiRaveendran, an activist from west London, is part of a group who formed a bloc of mainly Muslim women who march together during the rallies.

“All these women are very passionate about the cause, but they don’t know what to do with it, and they don’t really have an outlet,” she told The National.

Last week, the group was formally recognised as the local branch for Hillingdon by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, a nationwide protest movement.

One family arrived just days ago, she added. They are being supported by members of the group, who are in regular contact with them and sending them food.

The group is now calling for the UK to accommodate Palestinian refugees or Palestinians seeking medical treatment, similar to the Ukraine resettlement scheme, which was launched within a month of Russia’s invasion in 2022.

She criticised the UK's recent calls for a “sustainable ceasefire”, which would be implemented once Hamas no longer controls the Gaza Strip and all hostages are released.

“We're getting different religious communities to come together. [Muslim] and Jewish communities, Sikh communities, Christian communities, Hindu communities,” she said.
