Spain to evacuate 13 ill children from Gaza for treatment
A Spanish military plane will fly 13 ailing children from war-torn Gaza and their families from Jordan to Spain for hospital treatment, Defence Minister Margarita Robles said Wednesday. An A400 military transport aircraft is being fitted with medical equipment and is scheduled to depart later Wednesday for Amman to bring them to Spain "so they can be treated," she said. Spain has repeatedly taken in sick children since the start of the Israeli offensive in Gaza sparked by Hamas's 2023 attack on Israel. The country's leftist government has been among the most vocal critics in the European Union of Israel's ongoing military campaign in the densely populated, narrow coastal strip. "The situation in Gaza is absolutely terrible. The level of cruelty shown by [Benjamin] Netanyahu is absolutely unacceptable, and I believe the international community must respond," Robles said, referring to Israel's prime minister. Earlier this week, the Spanish government said it would airdrop 12 tonnes of food into Gaza as the threat of famine stalks the Palestinian territory after 21 months of war. A similar airdrop of 26 tonnes took place in March 2024. The war was triggered by an unprecedented cross-border attack by Hamas into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which resulted in the death of 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official data. In response, Israel launched a war that has killed more than 60,000 people in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to data from Gaza's Health Ministry.

Williams takes pride in being Athletic's first Black captain when 'far-right is fashionable'
by Naharnet Newsdesk 29 July 2025, 15:59 Iñaki Williams is taking pride in becoming the first Black captain for Athletic Bilbao at a time when he said the "far-right is fashionable." The 31-year-old Williams, one of the first Black players to ever join the club, will take over as the squad's main caption this season. Athletic historically has had few Black players because it only fields people from Spain's northern Basque Country region or adjoining areas. Williams and his younger brother, Nico, were born in the northern industrial city of Bilbao from Ghanaian parents who made the long journey to Europe looking for a better life. "This means a lot," Williams said. "It's seems like destiny that my mom and dad gave birth to me in Bilbao 31 years ago," Williams said. "We are lucky to represent many people who come from abroad to make a living. And to be a reference in Basque Country and in Spain, is important for us. "We come from humble families, and being able to express this is good for everyone," he said. "It seems like the far-right is fashionable, and those of us who have a voice have to keep working and keep proving people wrong and keep overcoming barriers." Both Williams brothers, who have been subjected to racist insults in Spain, have been playing for Athletic since their youth. Iñaki Williams chose to play for Ghana's national team at the last World Cup, while his 23-year-old brother Nico has been a regular in Spain's squad. Nico Williams has become one of the rising stars in Spanish soccer and reportedly was in negotiations to join Barcelona this season, though he ended up extending his contract to stay with Athletic. The Basque Country club finished fourth in last season's Spanish league, behind Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and champions Barcelona. "We're committed to being ambitious," Iñaki Williams said. "With the new signings and the young players coming in, we're making great strides. This is one of the strongest Athletic sides I can remember since I joined."
