280 Aid Trucks Enter Gaza, UN Warns Supply Insufficient

The Israeli military body Cogat, which coordinates aid entry into Gaza, has reported that 280 trucks carrying humanitarian supplies entered the Strip on Sunday through the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings. According to Cogat, 300 trucks were collected and distributed by the United Nations and other international organisations, while UN fuel tankers were delivered to support essential humanitarian systems. In addition, 131 pallets of aid were airdropped in a joint effort by the UAE, Jordan, Germany, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, and France. The US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is among the groups delivering supplies to civilians.

Sudan Market Attack Leaves Over 100 Dead as Shelling Intensifies.

A deadly shelling at a bustling market in Omdurman, near Sudan’s capital, has left a local mortuary overwhelmed with bodies, according to medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF).

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has called on Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Paris St-Germain (PSG) to cut ties with Rwanda’s "Visit Rwanda" sponsorship, citing humanitarian concerns linked to the ongoing crisis in eastern DRC.This appeal follows reports that M23 rebels, allegedly backed by Rwanda, have seized Goma, the largest city in eastern DRC, forcing over 400,000 people to flee their homes.
