UN, September 17 /Xinhua/ — Nearly 48,000 Palestinians have fled south over the past two days due to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) ground offensive on Gaza City, UN humanitarian agencies reported on Tuesday.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) noted that from mid-August to Monday, its partners recorded more than 190,000 such displacements. Many were forced to walk due to the extremely high cost of transport.

“Partners report that displaced families, often headed by women and older people, are walking for up to nine hours in extreme heat, often barefoot and carrying injured children,” OCHA said in a statement. “Many arrive without shelter, and requests from the most vulnerable for family tents continue to grow.”

OCHA said its partners assisting the displaced reported that more than 1,500 people, including over 900 children, received emergency assistance, including psychological support, water and medical care.

The department noted that healthcare partners are reporting colossal strain on hospitals and clinics. This week, Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza City was damaged by nearby bombings and is now housing displaced families. Only three of the six medical facilities run by the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees are functioning in Gaza City.

The Zikim crossing point has been closed for four days. Missions to deliver fuel and medical supplies have been cancelled due to security concerns, overcrowding, and looting. Humanitarian convoys continue to face delays and road hazards, preventing the delivery of aid to civilians most in need.

“Despite these enormous challenges and reduced supplies, the UN and its humanitarian partners continue to provide life-saving assistance and critical services where and when possible throughout the Gaza Strip,” OCHA said. –0–

SAO PAULO, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — The Federal District Court in the southern Brazilian city of Porto Alegre on Tuesday ordered former President Jair Bolsonaro to pay 1 million reais (about 188,000 U.S. dollars) in damages for racist remarks he made while in office and to issue a public apology.

The court ruled that the politician's comments about the curly hair of a young man of African descent, made on television in 2021, caused collective moral harm and negatively impacted the values of society as a whole. At the time, Bolsonaro compared his supporter's hairstyle to a "cockroach breeding ground" and implied that he had lice.

The judges found the remarks to be racist and rejected the defense's argument that they were just a "joke."

The decision can be appealed to a higher court.

As a reminder, Brazil's Federal Supreme Court sentenced the politician on Thursday to 27 years and three months in prison for attempting a coup in 2022. –0–

Beijing, September 17 (Xinhua) — The United States' unilateral distortion of facts and misinterpretation of World War II documents cannot shake the international community's unwavering commitment to the one-China principle, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Wednesday.

Lin Chien made the statement at a regular press conference in response to a question from reporters about a statement by a US State Department spokesman that none of these documents, including the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Declaration, determine the final political status of Taiwan.

Noting that the one-China principle is the universal consensus of the international community, Lin Jian called on the US side to fully abide by this principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, stop manipulating the Taiwan issue, condoning or supporting separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence" in any form, and refrain from interfering in China's internal affairs. -0-

LONDON, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in London on Tuesday for his second state visit as president, aiming to seal new trade and security deals despite ongoing protests.

According to Buckingham Palace, King Charles III, Queen Camilla, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer will meet Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. On Thursday, Trump and Starmer plan to hold a bilateral meeting at Chequers, the prime minister's country residence.

Around 100 residents of Windsor and other parts of the UK, organized by the Stop Trump coalition, gathered in the streets outside Windsor Castle on Tuesday evening, chanting slogans against the visit and waving signs reading "Stop Hate. Stop Trump" and "Hate Has Never Made a Nation Great." Organizers said they plan to hold a larger demonstration in central London on Wednesday.

Ahead of the visit, the British government announced more than £1.25 billion (US$1.7 billion) in US private investment in financial services and unveiled plans to sign a new nuclear energy deal during Trump's stay.

Talks between the two sides are expected to cover artificial intelligence, semiconductors, telecommunications and quantum computing, local media reported.

The visit came two months after Trump's private trip to Scotland, during which he met with K. Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, a trip that also sparked mass demonstrations.

HONG KONG, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) Chief Executive Li Jiachao said Wednesday that Hong Kong will use a special channel targeting technology enterprises to help sci-tech enterprises in the Chinese mainland attract funding in Hong Kong, thus increasing financial support for building China into a sci-tech powerhouse.

HONG KONG, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) Chief Executive Lee Jiachao announced plans to accelerate the development of new growth areas to strengthen Hong Kong's status as an international financial hub, including the establishment of an international gold trading market.

Delivering his fourth policy speech on Wednesday, Li Jiachao said the HKSAR will support the Hong Kong Airport Authority and financial institutions in expanding gold storage capacity in the HKSAR, with a planned gold storage capacity of over 2,000 tonnes within three years, turning Hong Kong into a regional gold reserve hub.

Li Jiachao stressed the need to encourage gold traders to establish or expand refineries in Hong Kong, and to explore, together with the Chinese mainland, the possibility of processing supplied raw materials on the Chinese mainland, refining the gold, and then exporting it to Hong Kong for trade and shipping purposes.

He also announced plans to establish a central clearing system for gold in Hong Kong to provide efficient and reliable clearing services for gold transactions in line with international standards, and to invite the Shanghai Gold Exchange to participate in preparation for mutual market access with the Chinese mainland in the future.

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Chief Executive also outlined plans to offer a wider range of gold investment instruments, assisting issuers in issuing gold funds, and supporting the development of new investment products, such as tokenized gold. He also pledged to support the establishment of a gold industry association to establish an exchange platform with the HKSAR government and regulatory authorities, strengthen promotion and attract clients from countries and regions participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, and enhance personnel training.

Li Jiachao noted that the Shanghai Gold Exchange's international gold investor platform opened its first offshore warehouse in Hong Kong and launched new supply contracts to the SAR, adding that the SAR will continue to promote cooperation between the gold markets of Hong Kong and Shanghai. -0-
