  • UN: 90 percent of Gazans have been forced to flee

    90 percent of Gaza’s 2.1 million residents have been forced to flee since the war began in October. But the number of evacuation orders issued by Israel during the war is so great that many civilians no longer obey them.

    In the first three weeks of August, the Israeli military issued eleven evacuation orders via text messages, social media and flyers. There, 250,000 Gazans, almost all already refugees, were urged to leave the places where they had taken shelter.

    “The Israeli army will operate with force against terrorist organizations in this area. For your safety, we urge you to evacuate immediately,” reads an order sent out in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza.

    The evacuation orders will let Palestinians know which areas will be subject to military operations. But according to the UN’s Muhannad Hadi, they endanger the lives of residents instead of protecting them.

    Civilians are denied medical care, shelter, water and humanitarian supplies as they are forced to move from one destroyed place to another, he says.

  • The police’s special event Frigg is shut down

  • Lawyers are calling for increased protection

    Violence, threats and harassment against lawyers have increased in recent years. This suggests that lawyers should receive the same legal protection as prosecutors, write the general secretaries of the bar associations in Sweden, Norway and Denmark on DN Debatt.

    “Threats, violence and harassment against lawyers in the long run risk leading to impaired opportunities for a fair trial for individuals, if lawyers do not dare or are unable to carry out their mission for their clients”, write Swedish Mia Edwall Insulander, Danish Andrew Hjuler Crichton and Norwegian Merete Smith.

  • EU users are allowed to delete Apple apps

    Apple will allow iPhone and iPad users in the EU to delete the App Store and the Safari search engine, the technology giant announced. The reason is the EU’s new digital laws.

    Until now, Apple has steadfastly defended the App Store as the only way to get digital content to its mobile devices.

    Among other things, the EU has claimed that the fees that Apple charges other developers “go beyond what is strictly necessary”. Apple promised last month to make changes to comply with the EU’s digital marketing law, the DMA.
