Gazans' Fear of Dying: The Devastating Toll of the Israel-Hamas War

Gazans, including children like Rama Zaqout, live in constant fear and grief as they endure the devastating consequences of the ongoing conflict.

"Cover-up Unveiled: Nigerian Drone Strike Claims 85 Innocent Lives in Kaduna State"

A drone strike by Nigeria's military killed at least 85 civilians during a religious festival in the village of Tudun Biri in Kaduna state. The incident, described as a "bombing mishap" by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has raised concerns about the military's history of mistakes and intelligence failures. The Nigerian air force has been involved in 14 reported strikes resulting in over 300 deaths since 2017. The incident highlights the need for reforms, internal reviews, and compensation for victims' families.

Tareq Hajjaj, a journalist in the Gaza Strip, has been reporting on the devastating conditions and violence during the Israel-Hamas war while trying to keep his family safe.
