Libyan sources have released a horrifying video of results of the tornado hit the city of #Derna. According to news, almost half the city reported gone

#Libya's eastern city of Derna has buried 700 of at least 1,000 people killed in devastating flooding and 10,000 are reported missing

The startling death and devastation wreaked by #Mediterranean storm #Daniel pointed to the storm’s intensity, but also the vulnerability of a nation torn apart by chaos for more than a decade. The country is divided by rival governments, one in the east, the other in the west, and the result has been neglect of infrastructure in many areas.

The death toll can reach 100 000 people!

I didn’t have much luck at the weekend with #botanical #photography - it was rainy and I had a lot of work to do. I want to share, nevertheless, a mobile phone photo of the big #Datura inoxia which showed up between the newly planted #vine #plants in our vineyard… It’s unlikely it came with the vine plants as those arrived without soil, and also the Senior said he has seen Daturas growing on our land in different places before, so it seems to be somewhat established here. May I remind you, that’s not the #Mediterranean, that’s the #Elbe Valley in #Saxony, Germany. (Note: reposted.)

#Climate #change: five major threats to the #Mediterranean according to the #IPCC

Like parts of the United States and Asia, the Mediterranean has been hit by extreme #heat in recent weeks. The Italian islands, like #Sardinia and #Sicily, could surpass the continental record of 48.8°C. "Heat waves are increasing due to climate change in the Mediterranean and are amplified in cities due to urban planning policies," causing illness and death, the IPCC said in its 2022 report on climate change impacts and adaptation.

A scorching heatwave now intensifies across the southern half of Europe; with +45°C coming for #Spain, #Italy, and #Greece as we head into next week

The southern half of Europe was experiencing scorching heat this week, but a strengthening heat dome over the #Mediterranean will soon worsen the situation. It will induce more extreme heat across the southern half of Europe in the following days. The strongest heatwave of the summer of 2023 continues and will bring even higher temperatures, reaching nearly +45 °C in Spain, Italy, and Greece.

Over the weekend, some relief came with the temporarily mixed air mass from the recent severe weather outbreaks across south-central #Europe. However, it won’t last long. The Mediterranean is overheating again. The following days will bring extremely high temperatures for many countries in the south, Spain, Italy, and later on Greece as well.

11 children every week.

Let it sink in, 289 boys and girls have died seeking refuge in Europe just in Mediterranean sea.

No one cares, no one knows their names, no one shave their hair to bring attention to the world about them.

And of course, no one even knows their names. We have become numbed to their death and suffering.

All people in US and Europe care about is Ukraine and China. All the other 7B people in the world don't matter at all. Specially not the ones running from results of dialsaster capitalism, failed war on terror and climate change.

Enjoy your evening, watch the reality shows and sit comfortably in your air conditioned rooms.

And please don't pretend you care.

World ‘wilfully ignoring’ child deaths during dangerous Mediterranean Sea crossings

During the first half of the year, 289 boys and girls died while crossing the #Mediterranean Sea to reach #Europe, or double the number compared to the same period in 2022, the UN Children’s Fund ( #UNICEF) reported on Friday.

Migration: Europe’s Complicity in Massive Human Rights Violations

These human tragedies are playing out at Europe's land and sea borders on a daily basis. The first quarter of this year marked the deadliest in the central #Mediterranean in six years, say humanitarian organisations in a joint statement.

Make no mistake: European States are complicit in the death of thousands and thousands of human beings on their shores, land borders and at home. The massive drowning of hundreds of migrants close to Greece shores on 14 June is just a new chapter in Europe’s long series of continued violations of all international human rights laws.

So far, 10 worldwide known humanitarian organisations have strongly reacted, in a joint denunciation statement, asking the European Union (EU) to ‘end rights violations at Europe’s borders.’

In their Joint NGO statement: The EU must not be complicit, launched on 16 June, organisations like Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, OXFAM and Save the Children, among others, warned that once again, dozens of lives have been lost at Europe’s borders “due to the EU’s failure to allow people seeking protection to reach Europe safely.”

Hundreds are missing and presumed dead after the latest tragedy close to the Greek coast, with reports that amongst the dead are many women and children who were held below the deck of this overcrowded fishing vessel

Hundreds Feared Dead After Migrant Vessel Sinks Off Greece

The Greek coastguard was at the site and didn't do anything to prevent or minimize the number of people trapped in the capsized boat.

Upto 500, mostly women and children feared to have died in the worst #catastrophe in recent years.

This is the shame of #Europe.

"It is clear that the current approach to the Mediterranean is unworkable," the UNHCR and the IOM said.

On Friday, officials confirmed that 104 people have been rescued and 78 bodies were recovered after a fishing boat carrying migrants capsized off the coast of #Greece on June 14.
Hundreds of migrants, including #women and #children, remain missing and feared dead, the United Nations #Refugee Agency ( #UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said in a joint statement.

The two agencies said that search and rescue at sea is a legal and humanitarian imperative, and called for urgent and decisive action to prevent further deaths at sea following this latest #tragedy in the #Mediterranean, the worst in several years.

So viele Tote im #Med, wie seit 2017 nicht! Die Präsenz von #MSF und der #CivilFleet im zentralen #Med ist direkte Folge des schleichenden, beschämenden Rückzugs der europ. Staaten.

Die #EU muss einen eigenen proaktiven, staatl. europ. SAR-Mechanismus einrichten!
