British doctor comes back from Gaza and confirms two things we knew: 1- the Israelis *specifically* confiscate formula feed to starve children 2- there is a clear pattern in gun shot wounds pointing to the fact that IDF soldiers are playing games hunting humans.

Greece: no need to steer the boat - seeking asylum is now enough to be criminalized
Greece has officially suspended the right to asylum for people arriving by boat from North Africa. This follows a rise in landings on Crete since the beginning of the year.
PM Mitsotakis declared: “Migrants who enter the country illegally will be arrested and detained.”

Greece Is Shutting the Door to Refugees
Greece has declared a three-month halt to all asylum applications for migrants arriving from North Africa. The European Union is hardening its borders, even if it means trampling on its own laws.
"The Greek ban on people arriving from North Africa from claiming #asylum is a policy as illegal and failed as its 2020 iteration for refugees arriving from Turkey."
