Evacuation of Foreign Nationals from Gaza Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned of "worrying trends" in disease in Gaza due to Israeli air bombardments disrupting the health system and access to clean water, increasing the risk of infectious diseases. The US has carried out an airstrike on a facility in eastern Syria linked to Iranian-backed militias in retaliation for attacks on bases housing US troops. The UN's humanitarian chief has described the situation in the occupied West Bank as "increasingly dire," with 158 Palestinians killed, including 45 children, and over 2,400 injured since October 7. Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has dismissed rumors of a ceasefire in Gaza amid ongoing negotiations for the release of hostages held by Hamas.
