Middle East

Famine in Gaza:

A UN-backed group has officially declared a famine in the Gaza Governorate, with conditions in the North Gaza Governorate believed to be as bad or worse. The UN human rights office states this is a direct result of Israeli actions, a claim Israel disputes.

Ongoing Conflicts:

Israeli strikes in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, have reportedly killed several people in retaliation for Houthi attacks.

Israel continues its military offensive in Gaza, with strikes hitting the outskirts of Gaza City and a high number of civilian casualties reported.

A significant number of aid workers have been killed this year, with Gaza and Sudan accounting for a large portion of the deaths.
