This article delves into the intricacies of the Zomi language, its speakers, and their way of life, providing an…

World Central Kitchen announced that it will resume operations in Gaza on Monday, almost one month after seven of its aid workers were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the enclave. The U.S.-based nonprofit group, founded by celebrity chef José Andrés, suspended operations in Gaza for four weeks after the workers were killed on April 1, according to a statement. The organization identified the aid workers as Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha, a 25-year-old Palestinian; Lalzawmi (Zomi) Frankcom, a 43-year-old Australian; Damian Soból, a 35-year-old from Poland; Jacob Flickinger, a 33-year-old dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada; Security team members John Chapman, 57, James (Jim) Henderson, 33, and James Kirby, 47, all from the United Kingdom, were also killed in the attack.

Before halting operations, the organization had distributed more than 43 million meals in Gaza “and accounted for 62% of all international NGO aid,” WCK said in a statement. “The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire,” said Erin Gore, the nonprofit’s chief executive officer. “We are restarting our operation with the same energy, dignity, and focus on feeding as many people as possible.” WCK has 276 trucks carrying almost 8 million meals that are ready to cross into Gaza via Rafah, and will send trucks into the enclave via Jordan too, it said in a statement. The organization is also continuing to explore delivering food with the help of Open Arms, a Spanish humanitarian organization, and the United Arab Emirates.

[Video description: a man inside a car speaking to the camera. Behind him are around 6 people, all wearing WCK clothing. He says

“Hallo, (???)! Now, (???) in Gaza. We’ll go to Khan Younis! The (???) Zumi kitchen, now the dream Zumi will become true. Yeah!”

14 strangers travel to the strange, isolated town of Evolution, unknowing that they will soon be dragged into a twisted game that only one of them may win...

I recently got into Fear and Hunger thanks to @aguahouse and this spiralled wildly out of control and so this has become a full-fledged au mainly created by yours truly.

The Termina Festival, in this case, is a death game puppeted by the Watchers in Evolution. Through weird ass resurrection magic, the contestants have 3 lives and once they lose their third life, they'll be sent back to the train, which they cannot leave until a winner is declared (permadeath isn't a thing largely because the Watchers love to feed on their grief and trauma). This AU is using the cast of Third Life specifically, although the others may make appearances/be referenced.

Other than that, this is going by a lot of the same rules of the F&H universe. There's still multiple different gods, the game mechanics are still preserved for the most part, it's just in a universe tailor-made for Life Series and MCYT.

Other things:

Moonscorching as a concept still exists here. Its called "voidscorching" and works generally the same. Characters' voidscorched forms will be at the bottom of their page, though I will list them in this post.

The Listeners, Speakers, and other deities are a thing, but they're... not exactly a huge deal here. It's similar to how the other old gods work in F&H.

The souls are still a thing! I gave each character a soul based on how they act and general interpretations of the souls; reminder that just because I give a character a soul doesn't mean they fit the same role or personality as the character(s) who had that soul in F&H.

Some of the darker F&H mechanics (i.e. the SA) aren't going to be in this. It just doesn't fit in this au. However, I respect the original games and what they do because they handle those topics with the seriousness they need. I wouldn't be making this au if I thought the games were genuinely an issue.

I won't be going into full detail with any descriptions, considering that it could be triggering. I'll tag any potential triggers under posts where they may appear (i.e limb loss, blood, body horror, etc).

Our Characters (this will be updated as character profiles are created):

Bdubs O'Hundred | Glare

BigB Statz | Defiance

Etho Slab | Charred fox

Impulse Esvee | Demon

Martyn Littlewood | Listener

Scar Goodtimes | Dealmaker

Grian Tiente | Watcher

Ren Dog | Red Winter King

Skizz Leman | Angel

Scott Major | Venus flytrap

Joel Beans | Wolf

Jimmy Solidar | Canary

Tango Tek | Raging fire

Cleo Zomi | Zombie

That's all for now! I'll try to start getting out character profiles soon! (They're not going to have art just yet; I'm still practicing drawing actual people in pixel art and don't want to deliver a disappointing result for this au that I really do love).

Australia has found an Israeli attack on a Gaza aid convoy in April was the result of “serious failures” but was not deliberate.

Six foreign aid workers and their Palestinian driver were killed in the air attack on the World Central Kitchen convoy. The dead included Australian Zomi Frankcom, as well as three Britons, a North American and a Pole. [...]

Here is PM Albanese still sucking zionazi cock and conveys his fake 'anger and concern' to Netanyahu over strike that killed Australian aid worker, but also provides his apathy to the 30-50k in Palestine who have suffered genocide, total hypocrite!

Yes it is special treatment alright- Makigumo's not even mad AT HER at this point, though she does chide on Ikazuchi and Nozomi for encouraging her bad habits. She'll just headpat her and give her some medicine...

She does like it when people talk mean about her Ika and Zomi....!

Nonetheless, she will accept the headpats and medicine.

Email from World Central Kitchen Today

Honoring our team members & calling for justice

Saif. Zomi. Damian. Jacob. John. Jim. James. The seven World Central Kitchen team members killed in the April 1, 2024 attack in Gaza existed at their very core to serve others. They were from different corners of the world, but they were all humanitarians. They were also sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, fathers, partners. We honor their contributions to the world they made brighter and to the mission of WCK to nourish people in their hardest moments.

Read José’s opinion piece in the New York Times

WCK coordinated everything correctly with the IDF in advance. Despite that, our convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded hundreds of tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on our newly established maritime route from Cyprus. “This is not only an attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable,” said Erin Gore, CEO of WCK.

Read the full statement from World Central Kitchen

The IDF has acknowledged its responsibility and its fatal errors in the deadly attack on our convoy in Gaza. It is also taking disciplinary action against some of those in command and committed to other reforms. These are important steps forward. But without systemic change, there will be more military failures and more grieving families. In addition to the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed, nearly 200 humanitarian workers have lost their lives during this conflict. That is why World Central Kitchen is demanding the creation of an independent commission to investigate the killings of our WCK colleagues.

"On January 18 at a press conference in the Middle East, Foreign Minister Penny Wong was asked ‘There are a significant number of Australian Israeli citizens fighting inside Gaza. Has the government sought any legal advice about their fighting if Israel has breached any international law?’ Her response “No. Anything else?”"

José Andrés accuses Israel of deliberately targeting World Central Kitchen members, April 3, 2024

The bodies of foreign aid workers killed in an Israeli strike early Tuesday morning have left Gaza and are flying home. On Wednesday, World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés accused Israel of targeting his employees deliberately, an accusation Israel denies. Nick Schifrin reports. PBS NewsHour

Family and friends pay tribute to aid workers killed by Israeli strike in Gaza, April 3, 2024

Family and friends of two of the aid workers killed by an Israeli strike in Gaza have paid tribute to them. Israeli bombardment in the Gaza Strip killed seven staff members of the US-based food charity World Central Kitchen while they were returning from delivering aid to people in Gaza. Three British citizens were killed, along with a US-Canadian dual citizen, a Polish citizen, an Australian and a Palestinian. Jessica Olney paid tribute to her friend Zomi Frankcom. Adam McGuire and Amy Roxburgh-Barry spoke about their cousin, James Kirby. The Guardian

BREAKING: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has just apologized after Israel bombed an American citizen to death in Gaza while delivering food to starving civilians in a “deconflicted zone.”

NOTE: Netanyahu said the airstrike was “unintentional.”

NOTE: In all, Israel killed a dual US-Canada national, as well as people from Australia, Poland, the United Kingdom, and a Palestinian, World Central Kitchen CEO Erin Gore said in a statement.

NOTE: Gore said, “The love they had for feeding people, the determination they embodied to show that humanity rises above all, and the impact they made in countless lives will forever be remembered and cherished.”

NOTE: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it is “conducting a thorough review at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident.”

Zomi was one of the earliest employees at World Central Kitchen. She first showed up to volunteer at our WCK kitchen in Guatemala after the Fuego volcano eruption—and became like family. Zomi was effervescent, her spirit of service embodied the greatest aspects of humanity. Anyone who meets Zomi never forgets her huge smile and warm laugh. When others were facing the darkest of moments, Zomi was a shining light of comfort, and the world is a dimmer place without her. 💔 Mook, Twitter

This is Dayman Sobol, a Polish citizen, who works at @WCKitchen World Central Kitchen. He travelled between Arab and foreign countries to provide humanitarian aids. During this war, he decided to travel to the Gaza Strip to help the displaced there, but today Israel took his life.

Dayman worked as the logistics coordinator for the organization The Israeli army killed him inside the jeep, although the jeep had the logo of the international organization. Today's crime is a message to the world that the Israeli army does not discriminate against anyone.

ASATA partnered with APEX Express, a weekly magazine-style radio show featuring the voices and stories of Asians and Pacific Islanders from all corners of our community, to talk about Manipur's Humanitarian Crisis. The show is produced by a collective of media makers, deejays, and activists. Check it out below:

“We are a small group of people, and if we are annihilated the world won’t even miss us because most of the world doesn’t even know we exist.”

The Kuki-Zomi tribal community of Manipur, a small picturesque state in north-east India, has been witnessing violent ethnic conflict in which over 120 lives have been tragically lost and more than 50,000 individuals displaced from their ancestral homes since May 2023.

Hosts Miko Lee and Cheryl Truong are joined by Niang Hangzo and Sonny Gangte, both members of the impacted Kuki-Zomi and a part of the North American Manipur Tribal Association@namtaus. They unravel the complexities of Manipur’s crisis and the factors perpetuating this atrocious humanitarian violation against the Kuki people.

Also please check out Niang’s article for more information.

CONTENT WARNING:

Please be advised that the things we’re going to be talking about and what has been happening to the Kuki-Zomi people of Manipur is horrific. Tonight’s show handles sensitive topics, such as violence, genocide, gender based violence and sexual assault. Our show’s transcript will be available to read in our show notes for those who would like to process at their own pace.
