US-Israeli genocide in Gaza
More than five months into Israel’s genocidal onslaught on the Gaza Strip, the regime’s strikes keep claiming more civilian lives across the territory. The latest Israeli airstrikes killed a dozen civilians, including at least two children, in northern and southern Gaza. Palestinian sources said another air raid on a house east of Rafah city killed at least six civilians. An Israeli strike targeted a house west of Gaza City, killing a mother and her son. Israeli military drones also targeted a group of civilians east of Jabalia in northern Gaza, killing three civilians and wounding 10 others. The Israeli genocide has so far killed nearly 32-thousand civilians, leaving over 74-thousand injured. Seven thousand more are unaccounted for and feared to be dead under the rubble. The World Bank says more than half of Gaza’s population, including children and the elderly, is on the brink of famine, calling for urgent action to save lives.
Israel war on hospitals
The World Health Organization says it has documented 410 Israeli attacks on Gaza’s healthcare sector since the regime’s genocidal war started early last October. According to the world body’s latest figures, the regime’s attacks on the sector have left 685 people dead and 902 others injured. Israel’s strikes have also damaged 99 healthcare facilities and 104 ambulances across Gaza. It added that two-fifths of Israeli attacks took place in Gaza City, a quarter of them in north Gaza, and another quarter in the southern city of Khan Yunis. Emphasizing that the healthcare sector should not be a target in armed conflicts, the World Health Organization urged the Israeli regime to respect international law, which calls for active protection of civilians and healthcare facilities.
Israel football ban
The Palestine Football Association has called on football's international governing body, FIFA, to impose sanctions against Israeli teams over the regime’s genocide in Gaza. The Palestinian association said six other member nations have endorsed its proposal, asking FIFA to put it on the agenda of its upcoming congress in May. It added that the regime’s onslaught has killed nearly 100 football players and destroyed or seriously damaged the entire football infrastructure in Gaza in clear violation of international law. Palestinian officials said at least five football clubs based in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are members of the regime’s football association. They said such inclusion implicitly recognizes Israel’s sovereignty over the settlements, which goes against international law and FIFA's obligations.
