Israel's Military Unearths Hamas Tunnels and Weapons Depots in Gaza

Israel claims to have discovered a new tunnel, weapons, and Hamas facilities under Gaza, providing evidence of Hamas carrying out military operations through an extensive network running underneath civilian infrastructure. The Israeli military released photos of weapons allegedly found at a university and a Hamas control room near a hospital. Israel argues that these discoveries justify its intensified attacks on Gaza and calls for more mass evacuations. The United Nations Secretary-General has called for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire, as the situation in Gaza deteriorates with increasing casualties and a collapsing society. The US Secretary of State urges Israel to do more to protect Gaza's civilian population, while a top White House official supports Israel's operations in the south of Gaza. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas calls for an international peace conference to end the war in Gaza and establish a Palestinian state.

Gaza on the Brink: Imminent Disease Outbreak Threatens Health Crisis

Health organizations are warning of an imminent public health crisis in the Gaza Strip, as disruptions to health and water systems are increasing the risk of disease outbreaks. The lack of access to safe water and sanitation, along with the closure of primary health facilities, has created conditions for the spread of waterborne illnesses such as cholera and typhoid. The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported a significant increase in bacterial infections, including diarrhea, affecting thousands of people. With overcrowded health facilities and shelters, the risk of infectious disease transmission is high. Both the WHO and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) are calling for a humanitarian cease-fire to allow aid into the strip.
