BİNGÖL TÜRKİYE

At the Cingino Dam, located 7 kilometers (4 miles) southwest of Antrona Schieranco, province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola in Piedmont, Italy, you will see some Alpine ibexes climbing up its wall.

The Cingino Dam is almost vertical. It is 160 feet high and these wild goats climb almost to the top. This species of goat lives in the European Alps, has split hooves with rubber-like soles. They are exceptional climbers... but watching them climb up this vertical wall is absolutely amazing! Why would they do this?

Their diet, which consists mostly of grass, gives them a huge craving for salt. Coincidentally, the wall of the Cingino Dam in Italy is built of salt-encrusted stones, with the really good, salty stone blocks near the top of the dam. So, to get to these mineral-rich salts, these goats do the seemingly impossible... they climb up a vertical wall.

Protestors in San Sebastian, Spain performed a “die-in” demonstration in a tribute to those who have lost their lives in Gaza on Sunday, March 17. Hundreds of people lay together on the ground to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as Israel’s assault enters its sixth month.

Along La Concha beach’s esplanade in the Spanish city, many people held anti-war banners and Palestinian flags, with a huge painting inspired by world-renowned artist Pablo Picasso’s anti-war artwork “Guernica.”

Named after another Spanish city, Guernica, the painting is a response to the 1937 bombing of the town during WWII. Guernica is the site of the first large-scale military air assault against civilians in history, causing widespread destruction.

Artists and activists from the Gernika-Palestina collective, which organized the gathering, drew a parallel between the situation in Gaza and the historic tragedy in Guernica.

Reem Alsalem, the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, has expressed deep concern over the inhumane and degrading treatment inflicted upon Palestinian women and girls, describing the situation on the ground in Palestine’s Gaza as "hell," in a conversation with Türkiye’s Anadolu Agency.

"We know that an estimated 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, 70 percent of them being women and children,” she said, noting that the UN had received “credible reports of Palestinian women being extrajudicially and summarily executed together with children and other family members.”

"Palestinian women and children have been subjected to these egregious crimes against humanity and war crimes because they are Palestinian, but also because they are women," she added.

"We know of thousands of women who have been widowed. Two mothers are killed every hour. Countless children are orphaned, becoming motherless and fatherless," she continued.

Already faced with a lack of access to basic sanitation needs and healthcare, Palestinian women have also reported that they have been sexual assaulted, raped and degraded by Israeli forces, including being stripped naked, photographed and subjected to invasive searches during detention in Gaza.

Alsalem stated that out of 3,000 Palestinians detained in Gaza between October 7 and December 31, 2023, approximately 200 were estimated to be women and girls, while 147 of the 3,700 Palestinians detained in the occupied West Bank were women and 245 were children.

In just over two months, Israel has wreaked more destruction in and upon Palestine’s Gaza than Russian attacks on Ukraine’s Mariupol or, proportionally, the Allied bombing of Germany in World War II.

In deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure, Israel has, since October 7, entirely or partially destroyed — among other sites and buildings — places of worship, cemeteries, libraries, universities and schools in an attempt to erase everything related to Palestinian culture and identity in Gaza and render the territory uninhabitable for its residents.

Israel’s war on the enclave has destroyed over two-thirds of all structures in northern Gaza and a quarter of the buildings in the southern area of Khan Younis, according to an analysis of Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite data.

Since the start of its large-scale attacks, Israel has dropped 53,000 tons of explosives on Gaza.

The Israeli attacks have reduced 192 mosques to rubble in the besieged enclave as of December 11, according to Israeli media. Israel’s ground offensive in northern Gaza has also razed at least six cemeteries, according to The New York Times.

Israeli strikes have also destroyed the “Central Archives” in Gaza, which contained thousands of historical documents dating back more than 150 years. Gaza’s largest library, housing a myriad of historical documents and books, was also unable to escape the Israeli war machine.

Here’s a look at just some of the destruction of civilian architecture.

Israel destroyed a water supply line on the main road between Khan Younis and Rafah on December 1, as the Israeli army resumed bombing Gaza after a week-long truce with Hamas.

Israel’s continuous targeting of vital facilities and infrastructure in Gaza has aggravated the humanitarian catastrophe in the blockaded Palestinian enclave.

On this World Children's Day, Israel’s relentless attacks on Palestine’s Gaza continue to kill five children per hour, while an average of seven babies are born each day amidst Israel’s daily bombings.

Since October 7, at least 4,710 children have been killed by Israeli air strikes on Gaza, which has come to be described as “a graveyard for children” by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

Countless others are in life-threatening situations due to a scarcity of resources caused by Israel’s blockade and grave injuries sustained in Israel’s ongoing bombardments.

The number of children killed in Gaza in just six weeks since October 7 has surpassed the combined annual death toll of children killed worldwide in conflicts between the years 2020 and 2022, according to UK-based NGO Save the Children.

World Children's Day, initially celebrated in 1954 as Universal Children's Day, is now observed annually on November 20 and aims “to promote international togetherness and awareness among children worldwide” and to improve children's welfare.

This date marks the anniversary of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child by the UN General Assembly in 1959 and the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child 30 years later.

Dozens killed as Israeli forces attack United Nations-run school believed to have been shelter for hundreds of civilians.

At least 50 people were killed in the bombing, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Saturday.
