Israel's apartheid across the occupied Palestinian territories is "far worse" than the apartheid perpetrated by white nationalists for decades in South Africa, Nelson Mandela's grandson, Mandla Mandela, said in remarks on Wednesday. "Many of us that have visited the occupied territories in Palestine have only come back with one conclusion: that the Palestinians are experiencing a far worse form of apartheid than we ever experienced," said Mandela.

What is GBS, the rare paralytic disease in Gaza amid Israeli blockade?

GBS is a condition where the body's immune system attacks the myelin sheath, which protects the peripheral nerves. This exposes the nerve fibre and causes nerve damage. Peripheral nerves branch out from the brain and spinal cord to all parts of the body, such as the skin, muscles and organs. GBS is a very rare condition, affecting about 100,000 people worldwide every year, according to the Cleveland Clinic's website.
