Starvation fears as food deliveries into north Gaza halted
GAZA — The World Food Program said on Tuesday it had suspended food deliveries to northern Gaza due to the increasing chaos across the enclave, raising fears of famine.One in six children in the north are "accurately malnourished", according to a study by the UN's children's agency.Entry of aid trucks into the besieged territory has been more than halved in the past two weeks, UN figures show.Overwhelmed UN and relief workers said aid deliveries have been crippled by Israel's bombardment and ground offensive and a collapse in security, with desperate Palestinians frequently overwhelming trucks to take food.Three weeks ago an airstrike hit an aid truck, while other convoys have faced gunfire.The north, including Gaza City, has been isolated since Israeli troops first...

China condemns US veto of call for immediate ceasefire in Gaza
BEIJING — China has sharply criticized the US for vetoing a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.Beijing said the move sent the "wrong message" and effectively gave a "green light to the continued slaughter".The White House said the Algerian-proposed resolution would "jeopardize" talks to end the war.The US has proposed its own temporary ceasefire resolution, which also warned Israel not to invade the city of Rafah.There has been widespread condemnation of the US decision to block Algeria's resolution as fighting continued in Gaza. It was backed by 13 of the 15 members of the UN Security Council — with the UK abstaining.In response to the veto, China's UN ambassador Zhang Jun said the claim the motion would...

Israeli forces fired on food convoy in Gaza, UN documents and satellite analysis reveal
GAZA — Israeli forces fired on a United Nations convoy carrying vital food supplies in central Gaza on February 5, before ultimately blocking the trucks from progressing to the northern part of the territory, where Palestinians are on the verge of famine, according to documents shared exclusively by the UN and CNN’s own analysis.CNN has seen correspondence between the UN and the Israeli military that show the convoy’s route was agreed upon by both parties prior to the strike. According to an internal incident report compiled by UNRWA, the main UN relief agency in Gaza, which was also seen by CNN, the truck was one of 10 in a convoy sitting stationary at an IDF holding point when it was fired upon.No one in the convoy was hurt, but much of its contents – mainly wheat flour...

Israel's Rafah deadline raises stakes as Ramadan approaches
GAZA — Israel's sudden threat to unleash its controversial ground operation in the southern Gazan town of Rafah unless all hostages are freed by 10 March has ratcheted up the pressure on the tortuous talks to secure an elusive agreement.Even before Benny Gantz, a leading member of Israel's war cabinet, threw down the gauntlet, Arab leaders were already anxiously focused on this start of the Islamic holy month — a time of communal fasting and prayer that can intensify a prevailing mood."Ramadan is ahead of us and if the situation in Rafah evolves, it will be a very, very dangerous time in the region," warned Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the annual Munich Security Conference over the weekend.The palpable apprehension by an Arab...

Crew abandon British-registered cargo ship off Yemen after Houthi attack
LONDON — The crew of a Belize-flagged, British-registered cargo vessel have abandoned ship off Yemen after it was hit by missiles fired by the Houthi movement.The Rubymar was in the Gulf of Aden and nearing the Bab al-Mandab Strait when it was struck, security firms said.The vessel, which is carrying "very dangerous" fertilizer, has been taking on water.Condemning the "reckless attack" on the ship, the UK said that allied naval vessels were "already on the scene".It is one of the most damaging attacks yet carried out by the Iran-backed Houthis, and is the latest evidence that Western efforts to deter them are yet to succeed.The Houthis have launched dozens of missiles and drones at merchant vessels and Western warships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since...

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, Netherlands
World Court hears arguments over Israeli occupation of Palestinian land
THE HAGUE — The International Court of Justice began hearing historic oral arguments Monday over the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, thrusting the decades-old debate before a panel of international judges as the region remains locked in an unprecedented war.Fifty-two countries will participate in arguments at The Hague over the six-day hearing – more than any other case heard by the court in its history.The case stems from a 2022 request for an advisory opinion by the UN General Assembly. The 15 judges on the court will be asked to consider, as the General Assembly wrote, “the legal consequences arising from the ongoing violation by Israel of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, from its prolonged occupation, settlement and annexation of the...

US investigating after drone crashed in Yemen, officials say
WASHINGTON — The US is investigating after an unmanned US drone crashed near Hodeidah in Yemen early Monday morning, two US officials told CNN.It’s unclear if the Air Force MQ-9 Reaper, an unmanned drone primarily used for intelligence collection, simply crashed or was shot down. A spokesperson for the Iran-backed Houthi forces said in a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, that the drone was shot down “with a suitable missile.”It wouldn’t be the first time the militant group was able to shoot down a US drone. The Houthis previously shot down a MQ-9 Reaper in November off the coast of Yemen.The US has continued its strikes against the Houthis inside Yemen for the group’s ongoing attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. On Saturday, the US conducted five self-defense...

Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has repeatedly criticised Israel over its campaign in Gaza
Israel condemns Brazil's Lula likening Gaza war to Holocaust
TEL AVIV — Israel has condemned Brazil's president after he accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, comparing its actions to the Holocaust.Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said Israel's military campaign was between a "highly prepared army and women and children".Israel accused Lula of "trivializing" the Holocaust and says it is fighting to destroy Hamas and return hostages taken by the militant group on 7 October.The main Jewish organization in Brazil has also criticized Lula's comments.Speaking from an African Union summit in Ethiopia, Lula said: "What is happening in the Gaza Strip with the Palestinian people has no parallel in other historical moments. In fact, it did exist when Hitler decided to kill the Jews."It's not a war of soldiers...

Israel sets March 10 deadline for Gaza ground offensive in Rafah
GAZA — Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz has warned that unless Hamas frees all hostages held in Gaza by 10 March an offensive will be launched in Rafah.It is the first time Israel has said when its troops might enter Gaza's overcrowded southern city.Global opposition is growing to such an attack in Rafah, where some 1.5 million Palestinians are sheltering.Earlier, the UN public health agency said a key Gaza hospital had ceased to function following an Israeli raid.The World Health Organization (WHO) said it had not been allowed to enter Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis, north of Rafah, to assess the situation.The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) entered the complex on Thursday, saying intelligence indicated hostages taken by Hamas were being held there.The IDF has described its...
