Birds are amazing. But considering how much of my life I've spent watching and studying them, I've thought surprisingly little about just how incredible feathers are.

O navio Madleen foi travado por Israel em águas internacionais quando levava ajuda humanitária para Gaza. A tripulação arriscou tudo para furar o bloqueio e responder à crise. Levar comida não é crime, bloquear ajuda é. O Madleen tem de ser libertado e o cerco a Gaza tem de acabar!
