"MSF Reports Child Dies Every Two Hours in Sudan Displacement Camp"

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) warns of a catastrophic humanitarian situation in Sudan's Zamzam camp, where at least one child dies every two hours due to the collapse of humanitarian services during a nine-month war in North Darfur state. The charity estimates about 13 children die each day, with severe malnutrition cases at high risk of death within weeks if untreated. MSF is the only operational health provider in the camp, facing shortages of staff salaries, equipment, medicines, fuel, and water. The war and low rainfall have exacerbated the dire humanitarian crisis, with millions displaced and facing acute hunger.

"Israeli Tanks Fire Live Ammunition at Gaza Hospital as Middle East Crisis Escalates"

The Palestine Red Crescent Society reported that Israeli tanks fired live ammunition and smoke grenades after entering a hospital complex in southern Gaza where over 8,000 people are seeking shelter. The Israeli military vehicles surrounded the Al Amal hospital in Khan Younis and stationed in the hospital’s front yard, leading to one woman's death and nine others injured. The situation is becoming more dangerous, with concerns for the safety of the displaced people and staff. Despite frequent shelling and strikes in the area, medics have tried to sustain operations at the hospital, but the situation is worsening for the already displaced people in the region.

"Desperate Palestinians in Gaza face mounting challenges amid ongoing conflict"

International aid groups are facing enormous challenges in delivering critical aid to the population in Gaza, which is caught in a war zone. The war has shut down all but one entry point into Gaza, making it difficult to get enough aid into the area. Additionally, the overwhelming number of displaced people and the lack of humanitarian space exacerbate the situation. Aid workers on the ground are also in constant physical danger, with incidents of direct Israeli fire on humanitarian organizations.

Gaza's Traumatized and Exhausted: Israel-Hamas Fighting Intensifies

Hospitals in Khan Younis, Gaza, are overwhelmed as Israeli airstrikes intensify and tanks and troops enter the city. The fighting has resulted in the deaths of at least 1,200 people, bringing the total number killed in Gaza during the war to over 16,000. Many of Gaza's 2.3 million residents sought refuge in the south, but with the fighting spreading, they are running out of places to flee to. Thousands of displaced people are crammed inside hospitals, while others are stranded in the streets, facing a worsening humanitarian crisis. The situation is described as traumatising and exhausting for the people of Gaza.

At least 50 people were reportedly killed in an Israeli air strike that hit two schools sheltering displaced people in the north of the Gaza Strip, according to the official Palestinian news agency.

The Longing for Home: Ethnic Armenians' Struggle in Nagorno-Karabakh

More than 100,000 ethnic Armenians have fled Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia following Azerbaijan's offensive, fearing persecution despite assurances of civil rights. Many displaced people expected a massacre, and at least 200 people were reportedly killed in Baku's assault. The European Parliament has described the situation as ethnic cleansing. Displaced Armenians face an uncertain future and mourn the loss of their homeland, with hopes of a peace deal fading. Housing is a priority for the displaced, but many have yet to receive government assistance.

Rebuilding Struggles for Turkey Earthquake Survivors

More than six months after a devastating earthquake in southern Turkey, many people in Adiyaman are still waiting for new homes. The earthquake and subsequent aftershocks killed thousands and displaced nearly 3 million people. The slow pace of reconstruction has left many families dependent on the kindness of others, with makeshift bakeries providing free bread to those in need. The government's response has been widely criticized, and while officials have discussed an assistance package for private rebuilding, it has yet to be implemented, leaving families uncertain about what help they will receive and when.

Displaced Syrians in the North Accuse Russia of Cutting Off Vital Aid

Russia has vetoed a UN resolution that would have extended vital cross-border aid to northwest Syria, blocking the delivery of humanitarian assistance to millions of people in opposition-held areas. The Bab al-Hawa crossing, the last remaining operational border crossing, serves as a lifeline for delivering aid to over four million people, nearly half of whom are displaced. The Russian veto has been criticized for exacerbating the dire humanitarian situation in the region, with concerns of starvation and increased suffering. The veto is seen as part of Russia's broader political agenda in Syria and its attempts to exert control over aid delivery.

Deadly Fighting Erupts in South Sudan Displaced Peoples Camp.

Intercommunal fighting in a camp for displaced people in Malakal, South Sudan, has left 13 people dead. The clashes between two ethnic communities erupted on Thursday when a man was stabbed to death. The camp is home to at least 50,000 people, and its numbers have increased in recent weeks after about 3,000 people fleeing fighting in neighbouring Sudan also came to the camp. The UN Mission in South Sudan and the country's army have reinforced security in and around the camp, and calm was returning on Friday.

Escalating Violence in Russian-Ukrainian Border Region Sparks Fears and Accusations.

Four civilians were killed in shelling on Russia's Belgorod region bordering Ukraine, while thousands of residents have fled villages near Russia's southwestern border as shelling has intensified. The Russian Defense Ministry said forces had used jets and artillery to repel a Ukrainian attempt to "invade" the region of Belgorod. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged that Ukraine would not be able to join NATO before the end of the Russian invasion. The Ukrainian capital has seen almost nightly air raids in May after being relatively spared in the beginning of the year.
