Lisi Proenca on Instagram: "Attention all international authorities, media and people of conscience around the world: what the Israeli Occupation Forces are doing right now against these boats is piracy. They are jamming communications, threatening and forcibly boarding civilian vessels, redirecting boats against their will and obstructing humanitarian passage in international waters. We are unarmed civilians from dozens of countries carrying humanitarian aid, food and baby formula to a population facing starvation under an illegal siege. These actions are violations of international law committed against civilians on a humanitarian mission. The Israeli Occupation Forces have no jurisdiction over international waters and no legitimacy to attack or obstruct humanitarian solidarity missions heading to Palestine. The world must denounce these crimes. The world must denounce the ongoing genocide, the collective punishment and the violent blockade imposed on the Palestinian people. We reaffirm that we are a non-violent mission. We will not be intimidated by military aggression, threats or illegal interference. History will remember who remained silent and who chose to resist."

Crisis in Sudan: 19.5 million struggle with food insecurity

A global hunger monitoring group reported that over 40% of Sudan's population faces acute food insecurity through May. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification says nearly 19.5 million people are affected, with 135,000 experiencing extreme conditions, including starvation and malnutrition. The situation is expected to worsen during the June–September lean season. The conflict, which began in April 2023, has killed at least 59,000 people and displaced 13 million. Farmers are concerned about rising costs for fertilizers and fuel, exacerbated by the Middle East conflict. The IPC warns that 14 areas are at risk of famine if conditions deteriorate.
