US-Israeli genocide in Gaza
More Palestinian civilians are killed across the Gaza Strip as the US-Israeli genocide rages on. In one of the latest strikes, at least five people were killed after Israeli forces struck a group of civilians near the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Meanwhile, Israeli troops opened fire on Palestinians near the Netzarim aid distribution center, killing at least two people and injuring several others. Aid centers have been the primary target of Israeli attacks for weeks, resulting in more than one-thousand fatalities as a result of direct fire. The US-Israeli genocide, which began in October 2023, has so far killed nearly 61,370 Palestinians and left almost 153,000 others injured.

Arba'een March
Millions of pilgrims from across the world are converging on the Iraqi holy city of Karbala for the annual commemoration of Arba’een. The pilgrims are making the journey toward the holy city on foot.

Karbala houses the shrine of Imam Hussein, the third Shia imam and the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. The pilgrimage is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world. This year, Arba’een falls on August 15. The event marks the 40th day after the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein on Ashura. Imam Hussein and dozens of his companions were martyred on Ashura during the Battle of Karbala nearly fourteen centuries ago.
