Iran envoy urges global action on Palestinian crisis

Iran’s ambassador has called for urgent, coordinated international action to address what Tehran describes as a deepening humanitarian and political crisis facing the Palestinian people.​ Speaking against the backdrop of the ongoing Israel–Palestine war and wider strikes in the region, the envoy urged Muslim and non Muslim nations, especially members of the Non Aligned Movement, to speak out more forcefully against Israeli military operations and the blockade on Gaza. He argued that silence or “neutrality” in the face of rising civilian casualties amounts to complicity. The ambassador called on the United Nations Security Council and General Assembly to move beyond statements and adopt “urgent, collective measures” to halt attacks on civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, ensure accountability for alleged war crimes and guarantee the delivery of humanitarian aid. He also pressed for sustained funding for UNRWA and other […]

Indonesia floods spark anger over slow aid response

Residents in Indonesia’s westernmost regions are increasingly expressing anger and desperation over what they see as a slow and inadequate government response to devastating floods that struck weeks ago. The flooding, triggered by a rare cyclone in November, swept across the island of Sumatra, killing more than 1,000 people and forcing hundreds of thousands from their homes. Aceh province was the hardest hit, accounting for nearly half of the fatalities. Many communities there continue to struggle with shortages of clean water, food, electricity and basic medical supplies. As frustration mounted, some residents began raising white flags outside their homes, a public signal of distress and a call for urgent assistance. The crisis has also placed immense pressure on local authorities, who say they lack sufficient resources to respond effectively. Earlier this month, the governor of North Aceh, Ismail A Jalil, […]

Israel: Rafah Crossing Opening Date for Gaza to Be Set Later

Israel has announced that the date for reopening the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt will be announced later, after necessary preparations are completed with Egyptian authorities. The Israeli defense ministry body COGAT stated that the crossing will only be open for the movement of people and will not be used for humanitarian aid. It emphasized that aid continues to enter Gaza through other designated crossings. The Rafah crossing is a vital gateway for Gaza's connection to the outside world. International organizations have stockpiled aid on the Egyptian side, awaiting permission to transport it into the devastated territory. The European Union has stated it is ready to restart its monitoring mission at the crossing to support the US-brokered ceasefire agreement.

Israel Says One of Bodies Handed Over by Hamas Is Not a Former Hostage

The Israeli military announced Wednesday that one of the bodies handed over by Hamas during recent prisoner exchanges was not among the hostages previously identified as missing or deceased. Following overnight forensic examinations on four sets of remains returned Tuesday, Israeli medical officials concluded that one “does not match any of the hostages,” the army said in a statement. “Hamas is required to make all necessary efforts to return the deceased hostages,” the military warned, emphasizing that full compliance with the terms of the U.S.-brokered truce was expected. Under the ceasefire agreement mediated by U.S. President Donald Trump, Hamas has so far returned 20 surviving Israeli hostages and eight bodies — six Israelis, one Nepalese, and one whose identity remains unknown. Meanwhile, a hospital in Gaza confirmed that it had received the remains of 45 Palestinians handed back by Israel. […]

UN: Nigeria Lost $10bn to Northeast Conflict

A United Nations study has revealed that Nigeria lost an estimated $10 billion due to the decade-long conflict in the Northeast. The disclosure was made by the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) during the launch of a reintegration program in Maiduguri. The agency stated that the insurgency not only shrank the national economy but also crippled the income and earning potential of families and young people in the region. To address this, UNICEF has launched a program to support over 1,000 children affected by the conflict. The initiative provides vocational training in skills like tailoring, ICT, and carpentry, alongside psychosocial support. The program aims to restore "hope, dignity, and opportunity" to adolescents, helping them build sustainable livelihoods and contribute to the recovery and resilience of their communities.

Israel Intercepts Final Gaza Aid Flotilla Boat, Say Organizers

Organizers of the "Global Sumud" aid flotilla to Gaza say the Israeli navy has intercepted the last of its boats. The final vessel, named Marinette, was stopped on Friday approximately 42 nautical miles from the Gaza coast. This marks the interception of all 42 vessels in the flotilla, which carried activists, politicians, and humanitarian supplies in an attempt to break Israel's naval blockade of Gaza. The Israeli government stated it had detained over 470 participants, with deportation processes underway for many. The flotilla's interception sparked protests worldwide, including a general strike in Italy. Among those detained were more than 20 journalists, prompting condemnation from media watchdog Reporters Without Borders. Israel maintains the blockade is a necessary security measure and praised its navy for preventing the flotilla from reaching a "war zone." The incident highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, […]
