Aid agencies sound the alarm as Israel’s Gaza blockade enters a second month
GAZA — One month after Israel cut off humanitarian aid from the Gaza Strip, aid agencies say the humanitarian situation there has deteriorated dangerously, with the plight of two million civilians worsened by intensive Israeli military operations.The United Nations and several NGOs, as well as civilians in Gaza who have spoken with CNN, say hunger is spreading, there is less access to clean water, and fleas infest makeshift displacement camps.The problems that have plagued the territory’s population for the last 18 months have been accentuated by the renewed assault launched by the Israeli military in March, which has included several evacuation orders.The Israeli government shut down the supply of food and other humanitarian aid into Gaza ahead of the offensive, in a bid to pressure...

Iran’s president fires deputy for ‘lavish’ trip to Antarctica
TEHRAN — Iran’s president has fired one of his deputies for taking what he described as a “lavish” recreational trip to Antarctica.President Masoud Pezeshkian ordered the removal of Shahram Dabiri from his position as vice president of parliamentary affairs in a decree on Saturday, describing the trip as both extravagant and indefensible.“In a government that seeks to follow the values of the first Shia Imam (Imam Ali), and amidst significant economic pressures on our people, the lavish travels of government officials, even when personally financed, are indefensible,” Pezeshkian wrote.The president added that Dabiri’s long-standing work in government should not preclude him from committing to what he called “honesty, justice, and the promises we made to the people,”...

At least 32 Palestinians killed in Israeli air strikes across Gaza
GAZA — Israel is continuing its relentless bombardment of Gaza with daily operations and strikes taking place after a fragile ceasefire was broken three weeks ago.At least 32 Palestinians were killed across the enclave on Sunday, mostly women and children.The war has so far claimed the lives of more than 50,500 Palestinians since the war began, according to Hamas-run health authorities in Gaza.

Libya expels aid groups accused of 'African' population plot
TRIPOLI — Libyan authorities have accused aid groups of plotting to change the country's ethnic make-up by encouraging African migrants to stay there, and has ordered them to close their offices.Ten groups have been singled out — including Doctors Without Borders, the UN refugee agency, and Norwegian Refugee Council."This plan to settle migrants of African origin in our country represents a hostile act. It aims to change the demographic composition of the country and threatens the balance of Libyan society," said Internal Security Authority spokesman Salem Gheit on Thursday.It echoes a similar announcement made by Tunisia two years ago, which was swiftly condemned as anti-black racism.Both nations sit on the Mediterranean coast and are key transit points for African...
