More than 500 martyrs and wounded in Gaza as a result of continued massacres and starvation
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on Sunday that the death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to 64,368, most of them children and women, since the start of the occupation's aggression on October 7, 2023. It added that the number of injuries rose to 162,776, while a number of victims remain under the rubble. The ministry indicated in a report that 87 martyrs, including 4 martyrs who were recovered from under the rubble, and 409 new injuries arrived at hospitals in the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, while the total number of martyrs and injuries since March 18 after the occupation violated the ceasefire agreement reached 11,911 martyrs and 50,735 injured. It explained that the number of aid martyrs who arrived at hospitals during the past 24 hours was 31 martyrs, and the injuries reached 132, bringing the total number of livelihood martyrs who arrived at hospitals to 2,416, and the injuries to 17,709.
Do what you want, you criminal usurpers, for your arrogance and corruption on earth is but an hour, and it is nearing its end, and the ready nation is about to break free from its shackles and break its chains, and the fire of anger is about to ignite in its soldiers, to liberate it from its sea to its river, that is a promise that will not be broken like the coming of the Hour. ﴿AND THOSE WHO HAVE WRONGED WILL KNOW TO WHAT [KIND OF] RETURN THEY WILL BE RETURNED﴾.

Gaza famine prompts UNICEF to sound the alarm: The situation has become catastrophic
UNICEF spokeswoman Tess Ingram warned of the worsening risk of famine in Gaza City, and its spread to the center of the Strip within weeks if no action is taken and urgent action is taken. Anadolu Agency quoted Ingram as saying that the risk of famine spreading in Gaza City is real, stressing that families are now unable to provide food for their children, and that the situation in the Strip has become catastrophic. Ingram explained that Palestinians in the Strip, especially in the east and north of Gaza City, are living under constant threat from escalating occupation shelling, indicating that "Palestinians in those areas are fleeing the shelling to the west towards the sea, where the number of camps and tents is increasing along the coastline," and pointed out that hospital directors informed her of the increase in the number of children with fractures, burns and wounds as a result of the shelling in recent days.
The occupation has been besieging the Gaza Strip for 18 years, and about 1.5 million Palestinians out of about 2.4 million in the Strip have become homeless after the war of extermination destroyed their homes. Since the beginning of March, the Jewish entity has closed all crossings leading to Gaza, preventing any food, medicine, or humanitarian aid, which has plunged the Strip into famine despite the accumulation of aid trucks on its borders. The entire world has risen up, with its human rights activists, thinkers, media, and peoples, in support of Gaza and its oppressed people in the face of extermination and starvation, and the only ones who have lagged behind in this procession are the rulers of shame and disgrace in the countries of harm. They have drowned in the swamp of treason and subservience to their masters in America and Britain.

Large-scale displacement in Sudan and major collapses due to floods and rain
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) announced on Sunday that 581 families had been displaced and 631 homes had been partially or completely destroyed as a result of floods and rain that swept through two states in eastern and western Sudan. In a statement, the organization said that heavy rains and floods that struck the village of Wad Al-Shaer in Al-Rahd locality, in the state of Al-Qadarif (east), on Saturday, caused the displacement of 500 families and the destruction of 500 homes completely or partially, adding that the village of Mabrouka, near the city of Al-Fao, in Al-Qadarif, witnessed the displacement of 17 families, after their homes were partially or completely damaged as a result of the rains and floods. In a separate statement, the organization explained that the floods that swept through the village of Tartoura, in Kutaila Governorate, in South Darfur State (west), led to the displacement of 64 families whose homes were completely destroyed and damaged another 50 homes partially. Sudan usually witnesses heavy rains during the autumn season, which extends from June to October, causing widespread floods.
These natural disasters exacerbate the suffering of the Sudanese, who are suffering under the weight of a war that has been ongoing since mid-April 2023 between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, which has left more than 20,000 dead and about 15 million displaced and refugees, according to the United Nations, while a research by American universities estimated the number of deaths at about 130,000. It is sad and regrettable that the rainy season does not come as a surprise, but rather is months of information that repeats annually, and what is more serious is that many weather observatories warned of heavy rains, but the government agencies did not move to avoid its effects, which were more severe on the villages of the River Nile State, eastern Sudan, and even Kordofan, and others. The government has nothing to do with care, otherwise it would have directed its officials to open drains, build bridges, inspect valleys, move people and animals to high places, and review people's homes and their ability to withstand the rains, but it is busy with other problems, and thus it has completely abandoned its responsibilities in taking care of their affairs, except for offering condolences to the families of those whose houses fell on their heads! The rains, which are originally a mercy and blessing from God, have turned into a curse and a disaster!
