Mohammed looks at me, his eyes wet from tears, and shakes his head gently. Grief is like a weight around him, which he meets with forced smiles and choked-back tears. “Every day, I think of dying a hundred times,” he says. Next to him is his wife, Nour, heavily pregnant and sobbing into her hands.

Israel has continued insisting there isn’t a huge need for more aid in Gaza – enough is getting in, say its officials, with more food than before the war, they’ve even claimed. It’s all the UN’s fault for not distributing it properly, they add. Well, President Joe Biden‘s stunning Gaza port announcement is clearly a
Iraq’s president has said he is “extremely disappointed” with the UK government’s response to the war in Gaza – accusing it of “ignoring” the suffering of Palestinians. “The Palestinian problem has become an international problem,” President Abdul Latif Rashid told Sky News. “And, recently, the suffering of the Palestinian people and the attacks on Gaza,

The Communists of Russia party has asked the security service to investigate whether Western intelligence services were involved in the death of Joseph Stalin.

It’s been a long and agonising 150 days for the families of hostages still inside Gaza, and every hour right now must feel like a lifetime as negotiations for a new ceasefire progress slowly. Liran Berman’s brothers, Ziv and Gali, were taken from Kfar Aza on 7 October. The twins are being held separately in
In a country like Ukraine, where entire cities are being bludgeoned to the ground, the human ramifications are so vast that they often overwhelm the ability of journalists to describe them. Instead, we rely on numbers – numbers, for example, from the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine which reports that 10,582 civilians
US vice president Kamala Harris has said there must be an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza as she called on the Israeli government to do more to increase the flow of aid, with “no excuses”.

Pakistan’s newly-formed parliament has elected Shehbaz Sharif as the country’s prime minister for the second time. Mr Sharif won 201 votes from Pakistan’s National Assembly, comfortably ahead of Omar Ayub, the candidate backed by jailed former prime minister Imran Khan, who secured 92 votes.

Airdrops are a last resort. They are inefficient, inaccurate, expensive and dangerous. They are only chosen as an option when things are really desperate. The White House spokesman admitted as much just after President Biden announced that America would carry out airdrops into Gaza. “There are no missions more complicated than humanitarian assistance airdrops,” Admiral
The Baltic states have an urgent message for the UK and other NATO allies about the threat posed by Russia: “Wake up!

For weeks, Amani* and her five children have been living in a tent in Rafah, the increasingly crowded city on Gaza’s southern border. “There is constant bombing and terror.

Ecuador is by no means the first Latin American country to try to take on the cartels and gangs that have embedded themselves into the societies of many countries across the region.

Thousands of Russian and Ukrainian tourists who moved to Sri Lanka amid the war in Ukraine could be forced to leave after a “whites only” party was allegedly advertised at a Russian-run nightclub.

The mile-long strip in Ecuador’s port city of Esmeraldas is rocking to the sound of Latin beats and laughter. The main road on the beachfront is bordered by the blue sea and white sands of the Pacific Ocean on one side, and packed bars and restaurants on the other. It’s summertime, it’s carnival, and it’s
