Israel has just bombed the Baptist Hospital in Gaza, killing at least 500 Palestinians. The number is expected to increase. The hospital was sheltering Palestinian civilians who had been displaced in Israeli’s war against Gaza. This is one of many examples of Israel targeting civilians seeking shelter following Israeli evacuation orders last week.

#PeoplesHistory | Today, we remember Samora Moisés Machel, Mozambican revolutionary and freedom fighter. Machel led FRELIMO (Frente de Libertação de Moçambique) which fought for independence from Portugal and he served as the first President of Mozambique since independence in 1975.
On October 19, 1986, Machel died in a plane crash in dubious circumstances, near the Mozambican-South African border. A total of 34 people, including Machel, were killed in the crash and nine survived.

🇮🇹 The functioning and future of Italy’s National Health Service or Servizio sanitario nazionale (SSN) have become one of the most important mobilizing issues for trade unions, civil society organizations, and ordinary citizens.
Just like health systems in many other European countries, the SSN has fallen prey to policies that promote the participation of the private sector in service provision, weakening the public, tax-based system, which is supposed to provide care to everyone.
