October 27, 2024, New York, New York, USA: A protester chants and holds an American flag and a sign with an image of Trump that reads ‘CRIMINAL.’ Anti-Trump protesters with the activist group Rise & Resist stage a non-violent demonstration holding signs & banners near Madison Square Garden, the site of large campaign rally and fundraiser for former President Trump where Trump will appear along with high profile Republicans and supporters. Massive security from the Secret Service and NYPD have converged on midtown Manhattan in anticipation of potential violence. The protesters state that Trump is unfit to serve as President and his agenda is anti-LGBTQ, misogynist, and fascist. They demand No Trump, No Project 2025, no Republican agenda in NYC. The rally is being compared to the Pro America Rally at the Garden in 1939 attended by Nazi supporters of Hitler. (Credit Image: © Gina M Randazzo/ZUMA Press Wire)

Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #960 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY October 29, 2024: ‘A DROP IN THE OCEAN: Gaza Mercy Flights’ by ZUMA photographer Sadak Souici for French magazine ‘Le Nouvel Obs’ followed the evacuation of around forty children from the besieged Palestinian enclave. Traumatized, seriously injured, they are treated urgently in hospitals in Abu Dhabi. Children in Gaza are dying in pain for want of emergency treatment as a result of Israeli authorities approving fewer of them for medical evacuation, the UN stated. Whereas before almost 300 children were being evacuated a month, that number is now closer one per day, with medics waiting in vain for security approvals from Israel controlling exits from Gaza including these mercy flights to UAE. But the Emirates does not recognize refugee status and so for the children who are evacuated nobody knows what will become of them nor if they will ever be able to see Gaza again. Welcome to ‘A DROP IN THE OCEAN: Gaza Mercy Flights’
