Chloroquine may have killed 17,000 people in the first wave of COVID, study says
A study has indicated that hydroxychloroquine may have contributed to 16,900 deaths during the first wave of COVID-19. The World Health Organization had warned against its use due to lack of evidence for positive impact and potential side effects. Despite this, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and then U.S. President Donald Trump promoted the drug. The study, which examined data from France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, the U.S., and Turkey, suggests that the actual number of deaths could be higher. It also highlights the limitations of extrapolating treatment effects from chronic conditions to severe cases without precise data.
South Africa accuses Israel at The Hague for genocide in Gaza
South Africa has filed a complaint against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, accusing it of genocide in Gaza. The International Criminal Court is already investigating war crimes and crimes against humanity by both Hamas and Israel, with no action taken so far. South Africa's submission claims Israel's acts and omissions in Gaza are genocidal, violating obligations under the Genocide Convention. Israel, since October 7, 2023, has allegedly failed to prevent genocide and prosecute public incitement to genocide. South Africa seeks provisional measures from The Hague to halt the war and protect Palestinian rights under the Genocide Convention. Israel, rejecting the accusation, criticizes South Africa's claim as factually and legally baseless, accusing it of cooperating with the terrorist organization Hamas. Israel's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lior Haiat calls for the court to reject the request.
UN denounces Russian attacks in Ukraine and calls for an end to the offensive
The UN has denounced Russian attacks on a wide range of civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, including residential buildings, a maternity ward, schools, kindergartens, parks, a subway station, and a shopping center, as well as energy infrastructure, leading to power outages in several regions. At least 23 civilians were killed and 134 injured, with rescue groups searching for people trapped under the rubble. The UN reiterates that international humanitarian law explicitly prohibits deliberate attacks on civilian objects and indiscriminate attacks under any circumstances, and calls on the Russian Federation to immediately cease its attacks on Ukraine and to strictly respect all rules of international law related to the conduct of hostilities.
Belém to experience a 'deafening silence' Christmas and cancels public events
Christian leaders from around the world will visit Belém in a silent prayer as a form of protest and mourning in response to the alarming humanitarian situation in Gaza, as reported by the UN. Pope Francis has reacted to Israeli attacks that killed 16 people at Gaza's oldest church. The UN's report highlights the destruction in Gaza and the ongoing offensive. Currently, 90% of Gaza's 2.2 million people face acute food insecurity, with nearly 1 million in emergency conditions and over 378,000 experiencing a catastrophic lack of food. Without intervention, all 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza will be in severe food insecurity by February 2024. The World Food Programme warns of an unprecedented rate of increasing food insecurity, with the entire population at imminent risk of famine.
UN General Assembly approves resolution calling for ceasefire in Gaza
The UN General Assembly approved a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, which was opposed by Israel and several other countries. The resolution, which is not legally binding, aims to create political pressure on Israel. The US, which vetoed a similar proposal in the UN Security Council, attempted to amend the resolution to condemn Hamas but failed to secure the necessary votes. The vote reflects the international community's stance on the issue, with 86 countries supporting the US, 62 opposing, and 25 abstaining.
Police action at independent publishers event in Paraty
The FLIPEI, an independent publishers event in Paraty, faced police intervention to close down a show by KL Jay of Racionais Mc's before it started. After negotiations, the performance was limited to thirty minutes. The organizers sought clarification from the Paraty city hall, noting that other festivals in Paraty had permission to operate until at least 2 AM without police intervention. Despite a history of disturbances, including attacks by Bolsonaro supporters in 2019, the event was not officially invited to discuss operating hours with the city or Casa Azul. The city hall responded that the midnight time limit was set by Casa Azul, and the police planned security based on that. However, after learning of FLIPEI's extended schedule, the city's culture department negotiated an extension to 1:50 AM for Saturday. Despite challenges, FLIPEI reported a highly successful five-day event with over 160 guests, a 65% increase in bookstore sales, and doubled attendance, featuring international figures like Silvia Federici and Veronica Gago.
Lula advocates for the creation of a 'viable' Palestinian state as a solution to the war
Brazilian President Lula condemns the blockade imposed on Gaza, forced displacement, and violence against the Palestinian population, particularly the death of thousands of children. He calls for a lasting peace as the ultimate goal and details Brazil's efforts as an elected member of the United Nations Security Council to promote conflict cessation measures, including convening meetings, fostering dialogue, and presenting a resolution project during its presidency in October. Lula reaffirms Brazil's readiness to contribute to just and lasting peace between Israel and Palestine based on the two-state solution and the Palestinian people's inalienable right to self-determination.
'We were locked in Gaza and now we are locked in Brazil,' says Hasan
Hasan, a Brazilian of Palestinian origin, and his family are living in fear in Brazil due to ongoing social media attacks, despite a truce between Hamas and Israel that has opened the possibility for accelerated evacuation of people from Gaza to Brazil. The Brazilian government is investigating the xenophobic and racist attacks, and Hasan's family is limiting their outings. A recent agreement is seen as a chance for Brazil's request to transfer more family members to be fulfilled, with 86 names on a new list for evacuation, including three relatives of Hasan Rabee.
Carta a Lula: você não tem escolha; o STF precisa de uma mulher negra
The article is an open letter to the Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, urging him to appoint a black woman to the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Brazil's highest court.

The author appeals to Lula's sense of justice and his political commitment to social equality, suggesting that appointing a black woman to the STF would be a historic and transformative act.
