Gaza humanitarian crisis  

The World Health Organization has called the humanitarian situation in Gaza indescribable nearly one-hundred days into the US-Israeli genocide across the territory. WHO chief says there are still insurmountable challenges to delivering humanitarian aid in Gaza. Tedros Adhanom Ghebre-yesus says intense Israeli bombardment, restrictions on movement, fuel shortages and interrupted communications make it impossible to reach those in need. His remarks come as the Israeli regime keeps pounding the blockaded territory with airstrikes and artillery fire. Hospitals, ambulances and medical staff are prime targets of the regime’s relentless bombardments. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society says an Israeli strike on an ambulance in central Gaza has killed four medics and two other people inside the vehicle. The UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs has warned that attacks on hospitals and medical facilities will lead to the destruction of Gaza’s health sector. According to the Health Ministry, Israel committed 14 massacres across Gaza in the past 24 hours, killing at least 147 civilians. More than 23-thousand-and-three-hundred Palestinians have so far been killed in Gaza since October 7.

Resistance response to genocide 

Iraq's resistance fighters say they have carried out fresh attacks against two military bases hosting occupying American troops in the country and neighboring Syria.The Islamic resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group for Iraqi resistance movements, said the first attack targeted a US base near Erbil airport in the country’s Kurdistan region with drones. It added that the second strike was carried out with appropriate weapons, targeting Hemo military base that houses U-S forces west of Qamishli airport in Syria. Iraqi resistance groups have carried out a series of attacks against US bases in Iraq and Syria over the past weeks in response to Washington’s support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza. The attacks came amid heightened anti-US sentiments in Iraq. Baghdad says it seeks to end the presence of the US-led military coalition in the country permanently. Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani says his government plans to set up a committee to arrange the ouster of US forces.

Yemen anti-Israeli operations 

Yemen has slammed a UN Security Council resolution condemning the Yemeni Armed Forces anti-Israeli operations in the Red Sea, calling it "a political game". Senior member of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council, Mohammad Ali Al-Houthi, said it is the United States that is actually violating international law. He said the Security Council must take steps to immediately end the Israeli-American siege of over two million Palestinians in Gaza. Houthi noted that all actions taken by the Yemeni Armed Forces are within the framework of legitimate defense. He also warned that any action taken by the U-S and its allies in the Red Sea following the adoption of the resolution will have a reaction. His comments came after the Security Council demanded an immediate end to Yemeni attacks on ships in the Red Sea, urging the Ansarullah movement to immediately stop all such attacks.
