Gaza's Health System in Crisis: UN Calls for Urgent Action

The United Nations General Assembly voted in favor of a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza war, with the United States and Israel among the 10 votes against the non-binding resolution. Israel has reportedly begun flooding tunnels used by Hamas with seawater. Puma will stop sponsoring Israel's national football team in 2024, citing its inclusion on the Boycott Divest, Sanctions (BDS) list. Human rights organizations have called for the release of hostages in Yemen's Red Sea attacks, while the Israeli military has deployed four new warships in response. The conflict has resulted in the destruction of a UN school building, ongoing military raids, and a dire humanitarian situation with thousands missing or trapped under rubble and a high number of disease cases in crowded shelters. US President Joe Biden warned that Israel risks losing international support due to its "indiscriminate bombing" of civilians.
