"Devastating Fire Leaves Thousands of Rohingya Refugees Homeless in Bangladesh"

A fire at the Kutupalong refugee camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, left thousands of Rohingya refugees homeless, destroying around 1,040 shelters and damaging mosques, healthcare facilities, and educational centers. No deaths were reported, but an investigation into the cause, suspected to be arson, has been ordered. The Rohingya, who face discrimination and persecution in Myanmar, have been living in crowded, makeshift shelters in Bangladesh since fleeing a military crackdown in 2017. Ongoing suffering, including violence between rival Rohingya groups, continues to plague the camps.

"Tragedy Strikes: Deadly Israeli Airstrikes Decimate Gaza Refugee Camp"

Dozens were killed and many more injured in a blast at the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, with conflicting reports on the death toll. The Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health in Gaza attributed the explosion to an Israeli airstrike, while the Israeli military said it is looking into the circumstances. The hospital in the area was overwhelmed with patients, lacking the necessary resources to treat the wounded. The ongoing conflict in Gaza has prompted global criticism of Israel, with calls for a humanitarian pause or ceasefire to allow aid to reach civilians. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken reiterated his support for "humanitarian pauses" during a visit to Iraq.

Israeli Airstrikes Devastate al-Maghazi Refugee Camp, Leaving Dozens Dead

Israel's military has bombed al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, killing more than 30 people, according to Palestinian officials. The bombing follows recent air raids on Jabalia and Bureij refugee camps that officials say killed over 200 people. The exact number of casualties from the bombing is yet to be independently confirmed. The United States has rejected calls for an immediate ceasefire, instead proposing "humanitarian pauses" to deliver aid and secure the release of captives held by Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a temporary cessation in the war unless it involves the release of Israelis and foreigners believed to be held captive by Hamas.

Israeli Strikes Hit Gaza Refugee Camp as Crossing Opens for Foreigners and Wounded

After weeks of siege, dozens of dual passport holders and seriously injured Palestinians were allowed to leave Gaza, while Israeli airstrikes continued to pound a refugee camp. The strikes in the Jabaliya refugee camp near Gaza City resulted in many casualties, including children. As Israeli ground forces advanced towards Gaza City, internet and phone services were cut off, exacerbating the severe humanitarian crisis in the enclave. Amid the deteriorating circumstances, 110 foreign passport holders were permitted to exit Gaza, while Egypt agreed to treat over 80 wounded Palestinians. The war has resulted in a high death toll on both sides, with over 8,700 Palestinians and 1,400 Israelis killed. The Israeli military confirmed that nine soldiers have been killed in fighting in northern Gaza.

Israeli Airstrikes Continue to Devastate Gaza's Largest Refugee Camp

Israeli airstrikes continue to hit apartment buildings in a refugee camp near Gaza City for a second day, causing many deaths and injuries, according to the Hamas-run government. The toll from the strikes is not yet known. Meanwhile, foreign passport holders have been allowed to leave Gaza for the first time since the start of the Israel-Hamas war over three weeks ago. Communications and internet services are gradually being restored after a major blackout, but humanitarian aid agencies warn that such blackouts severely disrupt their work in an already dire situation in Gaza. The death toll in the Israel-Hamas war has reached 8,525 Palestinians and over 1,400 people in Israel. Jordan has recalled its ambassador from Israel in protest over the "humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza, and Israeli forces have raided a refugee camp in the West Bank, killing three Palestinians. Lebanese leaders are calling for a ceasefire to prevent the war from escalating, and heads of Israeli universities have expressed concern over anti-Israel and antisemitic discourse at some universities. Reporters Without Borders accuses both sides of committing possible war crimes and calls for an investigation by the International Criminal Court. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei calls on Muslim nations to stop exporting food and oil to Israel.
