Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:29:14 GMT

In 2021, nearly 2.88 million non-fatal work accidents in the EU resulted in workers being absent from work for four days or more, up by 6% compared with 2020 (+150 941 accidents). This increase is probably linked to the economic recovery that followed the 2020 general slowdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic. 3 347 work-related accidents in 2021 were fatal (0.1% of the total number of accidents), indicating a decrease of 11 cases compared with 2020.Information on work-related accidents is often analysed based on their severity, meaning the number of full calendar days the victim is unfit for work due to an accident at work.  In 2021, as in 2020, accidents that led to 7–13 days' absence from work were the most frequent type of accident, reaching a total of 761 988 (26% of the total). Accidents that resulted in 1–3 months of absence from work were the second-most frequent type in 2021 (543 076; 19% of the total number of accidents).

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:29:14 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military is preparing for a possible ground operation in Gaza but the political leadership has not yet decided on one, Lt. Col. Richard Hecht told reporters Thursday as the latest Israel-Palestinian war rolled into a sixth day of fighting since Hamas launched its attack Saturday.Hamas said it’s seeking to end Palestinians’ suffering, which had become intolerable under unending Israeli military occupation and increasing settlements in the West Bank and a 16-year-long blockade in Gaza.People in Gaza spent the Wednesday night in darkness, surrounded by the ruins of pulverized neighborhoods as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to “crush and destroy” Hamas, with the support of a new war cabinet that includes a longtime opposition critic.Egypt has engaged with intensive talks with Israel and the United States to allow the delivery of aid and fuel through its Rafah crossing point.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:29:14 GMT

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s government said Thursday it would ask a court to revoke the legal status of the Unification Church after former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s assassination raised questions about the group’s fundraising and recruitment tactics.Education Minister Masahito Moriyama said the ministry proposed seeking the revocation after interviewing 170 people allegedly harmed by the fundraising tactics and other problems. The church failed to respond to dozens of questions during the hearings, he said.If its legal status is stripped, the church would lose its tax exemption privilege as a religious organization but can still operate.

The man accused of shooting Abe at a campaign event allegedly told police he was motivated by the former prime minister’s links to the...
