Conflict and Carnage in Yucatan: Liberals, the Second Empire, and Maya Revolutionaries, 1855-1876

Product Information

World War I was the first major conflict to harness the power of planes. Though not as impactful as the British Royal Navy or Germany’s U-boats, the use of planes in World War I presaged their later, pivotal role in military conflicts around the globe. Monitoring group Action on Armed Violence said that each Israeli airstrike caused an average of 10.1 civilian deaths and that the figure suggested a notable change in Israel's targeting approach. 2012 and 2021 campaigns produced averages of 1.3 and 1.7 respectively. Experts say the classified rules of engagement have a higher threshold for civilian casualties than previously. [434] [435]

It is not clear if Netanyahu was responding to any specific report. The Washington Post article saying Israel, the US and Hamas were close to reaching an agreement was published online in the last few hours, after Netanyahu’s press conference. After that I started screaming. I was still screaming until a fellow from the other village heard my screams and came into rescue, and other people … came and helped me out.” The IDF released footage of an underground tunnel under al-Shifa. [354] The tunnel, which is 160 meters long and 10 meters deep, passes directly under the Qatari building of the hospital; it has air-conditioned rooms, bathrooms, a kitchenette, electricity connections and communication infrastructure, and is protected by a blast door. [355] The IDF also released CCTV footage that appears to show two of the hostages being led in the hospital's corridors, as well as Hamas and stolen IDF vehicles in its courtyard. [356] [357] During the 1980's, Israel expanded the hospital with functional basements for maintenance and administration purposes; [358] [359] [360] according to Israel, Hamas eventually appropriated the complex, then expanded it with its own system of tunnels and bunkers. [361] Israel confirmed on Wednesday that it launched a "targeted" operation inside the hospital and said its soldiers uncovered “ military equipment used by Hamas” in the raid.

ON November 14 we finally had news that Belfast Trust will take forward plans for a Northern Ireland Mother and Baby Unit (MBU). Those of us who have been campaigning for many years are delighted that things are moving on, but it’s a bitter-sweet delight. We know that women have died while we’ve been waiting, and we know that unless there is an interim solution, women will continue to suffer while we wait for funding to be allocated and for a unit to be built. An MBU provides specialist care for both mum and baby. Mental health teams with specialist training are able to provide the best care, for example: prescribing drugs that are suitable for use in the perinatal period; supporting the mother-infant relationship and the development of parenting skills; providing adequate post-partum physical care and appropriate facilities (such as nappy changing, milk fridges, play areas, safe places for older siblings to visit).

Civilian casualties numbered close to 10 million. The two nations most affected were Germany and France, each of which sent some 80 percent of their male populations between the ages of 15 and 49 into battle. According to a person familiar with the matter, the Democratic leaders — House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Whip Katherine Clark and Pete Aguilar, the No. 3 Democrat — were inside as the clash between protesters and police erupted.

Members of APP’s NI Peer Support group, who have been campaigning hard for an MBU, tell us about the distress of being separated from their babies, and how this has stayed with them, in some cases for many, many years. Despite that victory, Russia’s assault forced Germany to move two corps from the Western Front to the Eastern, contributing to the German loss in the Battle of the Marne. The Israeli far-right, led at first by Ariel Sharon and then Benjamin Netanyahu, came to power and has largely kept it ever since. This meant effectively abandoning Israeli government support for a two-state solution and intensifying a commitment to building settlements and moving towards eventual annexation. Here is some further detail from the World Health Organisation on the “very high risk” mission it led to Al-Shifa Hospital on Saturday, which aimed to assess the situation on the ground. Community representatives are brought together in peacetime to discuss and propose rules for future conflicts. The rules are taken to district governments for potential legislation, before being disseminated among the population.This book examines European history and politics between two very well-known but flawed treaties: The Treaty of Versailles and the Treaty of Maastricht. Foley also points out that the new findings suggest that group violence occurred among people whose way of life was nomadic and often fought for resources as opposed to—as the Jebel Sahaba cemetery implies—an established community where territories and allotment of possessions and properties were more clearly identified “This shows that even under hunter–gatherer conditions, conflicts between groups became serious enough for this level of killing,” Foley says. Conditions at Al-Shifa, which has run out of fuel and is no longer considered operational, have deteriorated rapidly in recent days amid intense fighting, with doctors warning of a “catastrophic” situation for patients, staff and displaced people still inside.
