Air France passengers stranded in unexpected three-day stop over in Siberia

Description

Passengers of Air France Boeing travelling from Paris to Shanghai spent three days in Irkutsk after a mechanical issue caused smoke to fill the cabin. On the next day, the passengers were supposed to fly to China on a backup plane, but the second plane couldn't take off due to the failure in the plane's hydraulic system. The passengers were re-settled in hotels. Another reserve plane arrived in Irkutsk on Tuesday night (23:00 GMT+3) and 282 passengers, as well as 18 cabin crew, successfully departed on Wednesday morning.

  • 'It needs to stop': Amid fierce Gaza air strikes, 'humanitarian sector not able to function'

    Some of Israel's actions in its war against Hamas, like cutting off food and water for Gaza, could "harden Palestinian attitudes for generations" and weaken international support for Israel, former U.S. President Barack Obama said on Monday. In rare comments on an active foreign policy crisis, Obama said any Israeli military strategy that ignores the human costs of the war "could ultimately backfire." "The Israeli government's decision to cut off food, water and electricity to a captive civilian population (in Gaza) threatens not only to worsen a growing humanitarian crisis; it could further harden Palestinian attitudes for generations, erode global support for Israel, play into the hands of Israel's enemies, and undermine long-term efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region," Obama said. Israel has heavily bombarded Gaza with air strikes since Hamas' Oct. 7 assault on Israel left over 1,400 people dead. Israel's air strikes have killed more than 5,000 Palestinians, Gaza officials say. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on the dramatic humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza, FRANCE 24's Delano D'Souza is joined by Shaina Low, Communication Adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council.
