US-Israeli Gaza genocide 

The Israeli military keeps slaughtering Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, as it continues to pound the blockaded territory with more air and artillery strikes. In one of the latest strikes, several Palestinians were killed after the bombing of a residential building near the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Also in central Gaza, an Israeli airstrike on a house in the al-Bureij refugee camp, left a number of casualties. Four Palestinians were killed after an airstrike targeted a factory east of Jabalia town in northern Gaza. To the south, at least a dozen people, including women and children, were killed in an air raid, targeting tents of displaced Palestinians in the al-Mawasi refugee camp, near Khan Yunis. The Al-Sha'af and the Al-Tuffah neighborhood were also the target of intense artillery shelling, which resulted in the death of several Palestinians. Israel began its genocidal campaign in Gaza in October 2023. Since then, more than 52,360 people have been killed and nearly 118,000 injured.

Gaza humanitarian catastrophe 

The UN human rights chief has once again called for international action to prevent the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza from reaching a new and unseen level. Volker Turk warned that Israel’s ban on aid entry and the subsequent severe shortage of life-saving supplies are pushing Gaza toward total humanitarian collapse. He said Gaza’s bakeries have shut down due to a lack of flour and fuel, while remaining food stocks are rapidly running out. Turk stressed that any use of starvation of the civilian population as a method of war constitutes a war crime and a form of collective punishment. He also denounced Israel’s ongoing strikes on civilian shelters, emphasizing that deliberate attacks on civilians during conflict constitute a war crime. Turk urged global efforts to hold all perpetrators of international law violations accountable. The rights chief warned that Israeli forces are apparently trying to make conditions of life increasingly incompatible with continued existence of Palestinians as a group in Gaza.

Pakistan-India tensions 

Tensions are escalating between India and Pakistan following a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed more than 20 people. Now, Pakistan says it has credible intelligence that India is preparing to launch an imminent military strike. Pakistan's information minister said on Wednesday that India intends to launch a military strike within the next 24 to 36 hours. Attaullah Tarar accused India of using the deadly incident as a false pretext for the attack. He vowed any possible Indian strike will be met with a strong decisive response. Pakistan’s statement came after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday gave his army "complete operational freedom" to respond to the Kashmir attack. India's army announced the same day that it had repeatedly traded gunfire with Pakistani troops across the Line of Control, which is a heavily fortified zone of high-altitude Himalayan outposts. Modi also vowed to track and punish the attackers and their backer to to the ends of the Earth. India accuses Pakistan of supporting the attack, a claim Islamabad has strongly rejected.
