‘Hard to imagine': Victorian farmers to face agricultural challenges after flooding crisis
Farm Angels Chief Executive Jason Law comments on the flooding crisis affecting Victorian farmers, claiming it's hard to imagine for someone living in the city. 'In Victoria, we went down there last year to assist some farmers … they've been through fires, floods, storms, you name it, green drought,' Mr Law told Sky News Australia. 'It's hard to imagine when you're living in the city that between drought and floods, you're having to hand-feed cattle … tens of thousands of dollars a week just to provide feed for their cattle, if they can get it.'

Greta Thunberg to sail to Gaza on humanitarian ship as critics beg her to stay with Hamas:' Let's hope it's a one-way voyage'
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg will sail to Gaza this weekend aboard a humanitarian aid ship — a voyage critics are urging her to buy a one-way ticket for. The 22-year-old climate advocate, along with several other high-profile activists, will embark on the 'Madleen' from Catania, Sicily on Sunday to deliver vital supplies to the Palestinian people in Gaza and protest Israel's months-long blockade there. The World Health Organization has warned that Gaza is at risk of famine because of the blockade, with three-quarters of its population suffering 'emergency' or 'catastrophic' food deprivation.

Getty Images 'The world cannot be silent bystanders,' Thunberg said about the mission, run by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC). 'This silence and passivity that we are seeing from most of the world is deadly. We are seeing a systematic starvation of 2 million people. Every single one of us has a moral obligation to do everything we can to fight for a free Palestine.'

The FFC alleged that Israel was responsible for the attack, which prevented the ship from making its journey, a claim the Jewish State has neither confirmed nor denied. 3 The 'Madleen' will bring food and supplies to the Palestinian people. ORIETTA SCARDINO/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock 'Game of Thrones' actor Liam Cunningham and European Member of Parliament Rima Hassan will also be aboard the 'Madleen,' but critics zeroed in on Thunberg's participation — with many suggesting the young activist stay put in the warzone. Advertisement Sky News Australia host Danica De Giorgio named Thunberg her 'big loser of the week.' 'She's sailing to Gaza like it's some sort of idyllic holiday destination,' De Giorgio seethed. 'She really is annoying at all times.' 'She's such an urban terrorist herself, she'll fit right in. But also I'm wondering if it's a secret deal from the Israelis — all the Hamas terrorists will leave if she's inflicted on them. Wouldn't you?' added guest Prue MacSween of Verve Communications. 3 Sky News Australia host Danica De Giorgio, left, with guest Verve Communications' Prue MacSween, named Thunberg the 'big loser of the week.' Sky News Australia Advertisement 'This girl is not well, I believe, and let's just hope she stays over there. I think that would be a good thing.' Critics online shared the same sentiment. 'I hope she stay in Gaza,' one user wrote. 'Let's hope it's a one-way voyage,' said another. Thunberg's trip comes as Hamas is reportedly calling for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to remain in discussions on a permanent cease-fire after an initial release of hostages is completed as part of a US-backed 60-day peace proposal handed over to the terror group. US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff received Hamas' response Saturday that demanded the US make it more difficult for the Jewish State to resume fighting if a permanent ceasefire is not reached within the truce timeline, a source told The Times of Israel, indicating that more changes could delay the talks.
