Gaza's water resources are scarce after Israel cut off power lines to key desalination plants in March
Gazans fear shutdown of water plants as Israel widens offensive
JERUSALEM — Chronic shortages of water in Gaza are worsening as Israel's expanding military offensive causes new waves of displacement - and desalination and hygiene plants are running out of fuel.The UN's humanitarian office has said its partners are warning that, without immediate fuel deliveries, a full shutdown of water and sanitation facilities is possible by the end of the week.Days after Israel imposed its blockade on aid in early March - which is only now being eased - it also cut off power lines to the main desalination plants - a vital source of water for Gazans.It said these steps were to put pressure on Hamas to release the remaining hostages it is holding.Although Israel has said it will now permit the entry of basic supplies into Gaza, so far this has not included...

Demonstrators gather in front of Italian parliament to demand end to war in Gaza, Rome, Italy, May 21, 2025
Dozens of protesters gather in front of Italian parliament in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza
ROME — Dozens of protesters gathered in front of the Italian parliament on Wednesday in solidarity with the Palestinians of Gaza and to demand an end to the Israel-Hamas war.They waved Palestinian flags and held banners to call for a ceasefire.Many protesters accused Israel of genocide, destroying hospitals and of manufacturing a humanitarian catastrophe in the enclave, such as widespread famine.“There is a crime against humanity ongoing, a real genocide, therefore I think right to cry out our pain so that this savagery of war can stop,” said protester Giorgia Prosperi.“When you starve a people, when you besiege it, and you don’t provide them with health care, but instead you destroy hospitals - there were 36 hospitals in Gaza and now there are only four left after all those were...

Kallas demands probe after IDF fires 'warning shots' near foreign diplomats in West Bank
BRUSSELS — The EU foreign policy chief has called on Israel to investigate after IDF troops fired what the Israeli military said were "warning shots" near a delegation of foreign diplomats in the West Bank on Wednesday."I've heard about the incident in Jenin today where Israel Defence Forces shot warning shots but still shots at a group of diplomats approaching the refugee camp within a visit organized by the Palestinian Authority," Kaja Kallas said."Any threats on diplomats' lives are unacceptable. So as Israel is also a signatory to the Vienna Convention, I mean the obligation to guarantee the security of all foreign diplomats, I think this is important."A group of regional, European and Western diplomats was standing near the entrance of the Jenin...

Netanyahu says Israel will control all of Gaza Strip at end of current military offensive
JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Wednesday that the war on Gaza will persist until Hamas is disarmed and the Palestinian territory is entirely under Israeli control.The Israeli premier laid out some of his conditions to bring the war that started in October 2023 to an end.“I am ready to end the war but with clear conditions that will ensure Israel's security. All the hostages return home, Hamas hands over its weapons and leaves power,” said Netanyahu at a press conference in Jerusalem.Netanyahu noted that Hamas’ leadership must all leave Gaza and Israel must ensure that the enclave is free of weapons. He also asserted that after all these conditions are met, Israel will move ahead and proceed with Trump’s proposed plan for the future of...

Israel 'completely rejects' EU decision to review trade and cooperation deal
JERUSALEM — Israel has said it rejects a decision by the European Union to review the bloc's wide-ranging trade and cooperation pact with the country over its intensified offensive in Gaza.The EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stated on Tuesday that the bloc would examine if Israel has violated its human rights obligations under Article 2 of the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which defines the trading and diplomatic relations between both sides.In a statement shared on X late on Tuesday, Israeli foreign ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein dismissed Kallas' announcement."We completely reject the direction taken in the statement, which reflects a total misunderstanding of the complex reality Israel is facing," Marmorstein wrote on X."This war was forced...

Israel launched a devastating new ground offensive in Gaza over the weekend
UK steps up action against Israel over Gaza offensive
LONDON — The UK has suspended talks on a trade deal with Israel, summoned the country's ambassador and imposed fresh sanctions on West Bank settlers, as Foreign Secretary David Lammy called the military escalation in Gaza "morally unjustifiable".The move follows warnings of starvation in Gaza after Israel launched a new military operation over the weekend.There were fiery exchanges in Parliament with Conservative shadow foreign secretary Dame Priti Patel, who suggested the actions would be welcomed by Hamas, but also angry calls for the government to go further.In response, Israel's foreign spokesman said external pressure would "not divert Israel from its path in defending its existence".Global experts have warned of a looming famine because the Israeli...

New intelligence suggests Israel is preparing possible strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, US officials say
WASHINGTON — The US has obtained new intelligence suggesting that Israel is making preparations to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, even as the Trump administration has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Tehran, multiple US officials familiar with the latest intelligence told CNN.Such a strike would be a brazen break with President Donald Trump, US officials said. It could also risk tipping off a broader regional conflict in the Middle East — something the US has sought to avoid since the war in Gaza inflamed tensions beginning in 2023.Officials caution it’s not clear that Israeli leaders have made a final decision, and that in fact, there is deep disagreement within the US government about the likelihood that Israel will ultimately act. Whether and how Israel strikes will likely...

Seven-month-old Niveen needed open-heart surgery outside Gaza
Gaza baby sent back to war zone after open-heart surgery in Jordan
DOHA — In a makeshift tent in al-Shati refugee camp, in the north of the Gaza Strip, 33-year-old Enas Abu Daqqa holds her tiny baby daughter Niveen in her arms. A fan hums constantly behind her to break the morning heat. Enas worries that Niveen's health might deteriorate at any point. She is only seven months old, and was born during the war with a hole in her heart. As her mother explains how she struggled to keep her alive amid a collapsing health system in Gaza, Niveen, with her big brown eyes and tiny frame, cries and fidgets. "The war has been very tough for her," Enas tells the BBC. "She wasn't gaining any weight, and she would get sick so easily." Niveen's only chance to survive was to receive urgent care outside Gaza. And in early...

GAZA — The bright pink jumper with a picture of Cinderella hangs off Jana’s skinny shoulders as she walks through the northern Gaza moonscape, piles of rubble, dirt and dust all around her. Clutching a large tub in her hand, the 12-year-old is on a mission: find food and water.Jana Mohammed Khalil Musleh Al-Skeifi and her family say she has been responsible for getting supplies for them all since an Israeli sniper killed her older brother more than a year ago. Her parents are in poor health, so it now falls on her to provide for them.“I don’t want my father to get tired. That’s why I’m strong. I want to be strong, so my father doesn’t suffer,” Jana told CNN while waiting in a queue at a water distribution spot in Gaza City. “My father is elderly and has heart disease. If...
