🔴 How are Israeli drones killing journalists in Gaza?

For the #GazaProject, 50 journalists from 13 international newsrooms coordinated by @FbdnStories investigated the targeting of those who were covering the war. ⬇️
Samer Abu Daqqa, Abdallah Al-Hajj, Ahmed Fatima, Anas Al-Sharif… their names are among those of the 18 reporters we identified as injured or killed by precision strikes launched by drones, since the outbreak of Israel’s war in Gaza following Hamas’ terrorist attack on October 7th. Four of them were wearing press vests and were clearly identifiable as journalists.

Em restaurantes holandeses 🇳🇱, supermercados alemães 🇩🇪 ou cantinas francesas 🇫🇷, pode-se consumir, sem saber, carne bovina ligada ao desmatamento na Amazônia🌳

Isso é o que revelamos nesta segunda parte do #BrunoDomProject

Antes de ser assassinado, o jornalista Dom Phillips estava investigando a JBS, a Marfrig e a Minerva, as principais multinacionais de carne bovina do Brasil. 🥩

A indústria da carne é a principal causa do desmatamento no Brasil.

Ao prosseguir com seu trabalho, descobrimos que a Marfrig estava se abastecendo em uma fazenda acusada de desmatamento, que Dom Phillips já havia investigado.

A carne bovina ligada ao desmatamento agora pode ser encontrada na Europa.

La langue de bœuf, un pur produit du terroir 🇫🇷 ? Si vous en avez goûté à la cantine, vous pourriez avoir contribué, sans le savoir, à la déforestation en Amazonie 🌳

🔎 Pour ce 2e volet du #BrunoDomProject nous avons traqué les importations de viande de bœuf en Europe. Image
Ici par exemple, la fiche technique d’une langue de bœuf du grossiste Pomona.

Derrière le numéro SIF 337, se cache un abattoir de l’entreprise JBS, qui s’approvisionne en bœufs provenant de tout le Brésil, même en Amazonie. Image
Autre multinationale, autres mauvaises pratiques. Notre enquête révèle comment Marfrig s’est approvisionnée en boeufs auprès d'une ferme accusée de déforestation et sur laquelle Dom Phillips avait déjà enquêté.

De la viande de bœuf qui peut désormais se retrouver en Europe. Image
