When you have a rucksack, and you think that the accommodation is so close to the ferry that you can _carry_ a suitcase. But then your chest and shoulders stiffen up so much from carrying up the hill that...
It went well until the roundabout, when P discovered that Newton was right.
Me, I was a few metres behind... and to the right. Those little cobbled bits across the width of the road were ... challenging.
Jährlich begeben sich tausende Menschen vom Norden Afrikas über das #Mittelmeer auf den Weg nach #Europa. Dass sie aber schon davor unzählige Kilometer auf ebenfalls lebensbedrohliche Routen - meist durch die #Sahara - zurücklegen mussten, wissen viele nicht.
Schätzungen der #IOM zufolge durchqueren mehr Menschen die #Sahara als das #Mittelmeer, und die Zahl der Todesopfer in der Wüste ist vermutlich doppelt so hoch.

Update on the Mediterranean Sea
In 2024, a record 8,938 refugees lost their lives, making it the deadliest year for displaced people worldwide, according to statistics published by #IOM.
The first quarter of 2025
- Italy has confirmed that the secret services used invasive military spyware Paragon #Graphite to monitor activists from Mediterranea Saving Humans and Refugees In Libya.
- Malta’s Prime Minister, Abela, said he will push to reform the European Convention on Human Rights, calling it "outdated", as he aims to simplify the deportation process for asylum seekers.
-The #EU Commission proposed the Common European System for Returns, a way to have faster deportations and "return hubs" in third countries, an indirect term for deportation centers.
- Mass graves containing the bodies of people on the move have been found in #Libya.
- The "State Trafficking Report” has exposed a human trafficking network involving #Tunisian police and military selling people on the move to armed Libyan groups and the Libyan army. All while Tunisia and Libya continue receiving European and Italian financial support.
383 missing or dead people have already been recorded in the Mediterranean in the first three months of 2025. Every single one of these deaths could have been prevented. Every single one has been accepted by the responsible politicians without turning a hair.
If a human life is no longer worth anything - what then?
Stand up for human rights for all! Stand in solidarity!

Es leben lt. #IPCC 3,3-3,6 MILLIARDEN Menschen in Gebieten die sehr anfällig für die Klimaerwärmung sind.
Die #IOM (Internationale Organisation für Migration, eine Organisation der #UNO) rechnet bis 2050 mit 25 Mio. bis 1 Milliarde klimabedingt Vertriebenen (oftmals als #Klimaflüchtlinge bezeichnet, was aber falsch ist!).

Stop the assault on Palestinians in #Gaza and on those trying to help them
We the leaders of 15 #UnitedNations and humanitarian organizations urge, yet again, all parties fighting in #Gaza to protect civilians, and call on the State of #Israel to cease its assault on Gaza and on the humanitarians trying to help.[...]
The situation unfolding in #NorthGaza is apocalyptic. The area has been under siege for almost a month, denied basic aid and life-saving supplies while bombardment and other attacks continue. Just in the past few days, hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children, and thousands have once again been forcibly displaced.
The entire Palestinian population in North Gaza is at imminent risk of dying from disease, famine and violence.[...]
The blatant disregard for basic humanity and for the laws of war must stop.Signatories:

»The UN migration agency, IOM, said in a statement that it fully supports the Secretary-General and the UN's resolute stance that the “UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is irreplaceable. The absence of UNRWA from the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly in Gaza, will be catastrophic.”«
