Food Distribution for Unpaid Federal Employees During the Shutdown - USA

Federal employees and contractors line up to receive food during a free food distribution in Hyattsville, Maryland, the United States, on October 21, 2025. Starting this week, the nonprofit Capital Area Food Bank started to provide special free food distributions to U.S. federal employees and contractors. Over the past weeks, the impact of the government shutdown has gradually become apparent. About 750,000 federal employees in so-called "non-essential" positions have been furloughed without pay, while hundreds of thousands in "essential" roles remain on the job -- also without pay. Against the backdrop of rising food prices and high mortgage costs, the inability to receive timely paychecks has placed significant financial pressure on many federal workers.

Trans Woman Finds Shelter Amid Crackdown - Turkey

A café on Bornova Street is seen in Izmir, Turkey, on July 27, 2025. Situated in the Alsancak neighborhood of the city’s Konak district, Bornova Street is home to a large transgender community that faces increasing marginalization amid growing anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment in the country. Once a space of refuge and social connection, local cafés now exist under the shadow of police surveillance and community-wide fear. In recent weeks, authorities have issued sealing orders for 14 apartments in the area, citing efforts to combat prostitution. Activists argue the crackdown is part of a wider campaign targeting LGBTQ+ individuals during what the government has declared the “Year of the Family.” For many trans residents, public places like cafés remain vital yet vulnerable spaces for community, resilience, and visibility in an increasingly hostile environment.

US Explores 'Temporary Pier' For Gaza Aid Delivery

Handout photo shows Pentagon Press Secretary U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder conducts a press briefing at the Pentagon, Washington, DC, USA, March 8, 2024. Joe Biden would like to set up an 'emergency mission' in order to increase the amount of humanitarian aid. The vague initiative would take many weeks to implement. In an exchange with the press on March 8, Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder announced that this "emergency mission" would "accommodate large ships carrying food, water, medical supplies and temporary shelters." A project for an offshore port off the coast of the enclave had already been backed by Turkey and Qatar in 2015, but never materialized for lack of Israeli validation.

Violent Wage Protests Could Hit Top Fashion Brands - Bangladesh

Garments workers walk off a factory at lunch break in Ashulia on November 9, 2023, a day after Minimum Wage Board authority declared the minimum wage of 12,500 taka ($ 113) for garment workers. Bangladesh raised the minimum monthly pay for the country's four million garment workers by 56.25 percent on November 7, a decision immediately rejected by unions seeking a near-tripling of the figure. Bangladesh has been gripped by violent protests for two weeks, as thousands of garment workers take to the streets to demand better wages for the country’s four million garment workers.
