Rafah, Palestine — Animals are dying and facing starvation in the last remaining zoo in the Gaza Strip as a result of Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza — backed by the U.S. and a handful of western European nations. In Ahmed Joumaa’s private zoo in Rafah, lions are living on dry bread and some animals have died because of the food scarcity in the Gaza Strip.

Ahmed Joumaa, the zoo’s owner, said they used to feed the lions 100 kg of frozen food daily and “now we struggle to provide as little as 10 kg” per week. The zoo houses monkeys, parrots, lions, dogs and other animals.

Gaza’s main zoo in Gaza City is closed and has been bombed several times by Israel, leaving a majority of the animals dead or starving to death. The other handful of zoos have faced a similar reality. The Rafah zoo was closed after the October 7 violence started. Joumaa then opened it up to dozens of his family and friends who’ve been internally displaced.

Israel’s most recent destructive and violent war on Gaza has killed over 24,000 Palestinians and internally displaced over 85% of the 2.2 million people in the small enclave. Along with the deaths are the physical and emotional impacts of displacement, the trauma of war and loss, and the destruction of over 60% of the houses.

Food, clothes and shelter are continuing to be harder to come by as winter strikes Gaza along with relentless bombings by Israel. On January 16, UN special rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri, said people are on the verge of famine. “We’ve never seen anything so brutal happen so quickly,” he said when referring to what’s happening in Gaza. Fakhri then said, an “entire generation of Palestinians” face “long-term limitations to their cognitive and physical ability” due to the malnutrition.

“Amidst the Zionist war on Gaza, most of the zoos in the Gaza Strip were lost. And Rafah’s zoo is the only remaining one. But due to ongoing war, the animals face endangerment as a result of the shortage of food, water, and medicine. As for the lions and other predators, we used to feed them on a daily basis, and now we can barely provide a meal once every week. The last resort we turn to is dry bread. Previously, we required nearly 100 kg of frozen food daily, now we struggle to provide as little as 10 kg.” Ahmed Joumaa, Rafah zoo owner

The energy company behind Dakota Pipeline is still trying to get documents from @UnicornRiot and reporter Niko Georgiades about their coverage of protests against the pipeline project.

The subpoenas were quashed, but now it’s appealing the decision.

Aris Servetalis in Alps (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2011) Cast: Angeliki Papoulia, Aris Servetalis, Johnny Vekris, Ariane Labed, Efthymis Filippou, Nikos Galgadis, Maria Kyrozi, Tina Papanikolaou, Sotiris Papastamatiou, Stavros Psyllakis, Konstadina Papoulia, Eftychia Stefanidou. Screenplay: Efthymis Filippou, Yorgos Lanthimos. Cinematography: Christos Voudouris. Set decoration: Anna Georgiadou. Film editing: Yorgos Mavropsaridis Like his Dogtooth (2009), The Lobster (2015), and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), Yorgos Lanthimo's Alps is a fable about hubris, a kind of screwball tragedy. The Alps are four people who have taken it upon themselves to relieve the suffering of those whose loved ones have recently died. This they do by acting as surrogates for the dead, reliving moments the bereaved once shared with their loved ones, which can range from conversations to care-giving (one of the bereaved is blind) to sex. The head Alp, who calls himself Mont Blanc, is an ambulance driver, and another Alp, who calls herself Monte Rosa, is a nurse, which puts them both in a good position to locate those in need of their services. The other two are a young gymnast and her hypercontrolling coach. We first meet them when the gymnast is performing a floor routine to the accompaniment of "O Fortuna" from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. She protests that she wants to perform to pop music, but he sternly insists that she's not ready for that yet. The gymnast, however, is deemed ready for her first turn as a surrogate, and the opportunity affords itself when the ambulance driver brings in a young accident victim, and the nurse takes over care of her as a patient, ingratiating herself with the young woman's parents. But the nurse has other plans: She wants to take over as the surrogate and pocket the money earned herself. So when the patient dies, she tells the other Alps that the woman has gone home to recuperate. What plot Alps contains centers on this subterfuge and its discovery. Other Alpine relationships form the rest of the story, which like most of the films directed by Lanthimos and co-written with Efthymis Filippou, becomes engagingly weirder as it goes along. Some critics have objected to the detached tone of the film -- Roger Ebert called it "a sterile exercise" -- and following it is sometimes like trying to work a puzzle in the dark -- Christos Voudouris's cinematography literally keeps some scenes in the shadows -- but Lanthimos is, as usual, a filmmaker like no other.

Unicorn Riot Presents Reporter Reflection on George Floyd Uprising - Episode 1 from Unicorn Riot on Vimeo.

Starting October 14, 2020, on what would have been George Floyd's 47 birthday, Unicorn Riot is publishing an exclusive 5-episode series bringing front line perspectives from the historic uprising in Minneapolis.

Waves of rage tore through the Twin Cities after Minneapolis police officers mercilessly killed George Floyd, a 46-year-old father of five and security guard on Memorial Day 2020. The historic uprising that followed the murder saw the besiegement of the Minneapolis police’s 3rd Precinct by thousands of community members after days of unrest.

Hundreds of buildings were looted, dozens burnt to the ground, two protesters were killed and at least 17 people face federal arson charges.Within days of George Floyd’s death, Derek Chauvin had been arrested. However, the community demanded the arrest of all the officers involved, leading to another week of continued unrest until the other officers had also been charged and arrested. Now, all four officers involved in the killing are out of jail and awaiting their March 2021 trial.

From in front of the 3rd Precinct and beyond, Unicorn Riot extensively documented the uprising and in the Fall of 2020 are releasing the five-episode series. Stay tuned for further episodes on Wednesday nights.

Episode 1 is a highlight from Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Day 1 of the uprising, May 26, 2020. Episode 1 is filmed and narrated by Niko Georgiades, and co-produced by Georgiades and Georgia Fort with music by Stony Wellz.
