Unemployment

The first news topic is unemployment.

Unemployment in Finland has been increasing steadily since 2023. At the same time, unemployment has been decreasing steadily in many Southern European countries.

There are many unemployed people in Finland. Executive Director Jukka Haapakoski from the Finnish Federation of the Unemployed:

-It’s really frustrating for the unemployed that there’s really nothing. If you’re unemployed, you’re kind of disconnected from any services.

Relief ships

Now the news about the aid ships.

On Wednesday, Israel stopped more than 40 ships bound for Gaza.

The ships were carrying a total of over 500 people who are protesting Israel’s attack on Gaza. At least 5 Finnish activists were on board. Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was also on one of the ships. Israel arrested the activists.

Activists say the purpose was to bring food, water and medicine to the people of Gaza. Activists also want to bring public attention to the plight of the people of Gaza.
