The Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced the release of Assad al-Nassasra, a Palestinian paramedic detained by Israeli forces during an attack that killed 15 other emergency workers in southern Gaza. The Israeli military had confirmed holding al-Nassasra and later released a report attributing the killings to 'professional failures' and 'operational misunderstanding.' The PRCS denounced the findings as an attempt to justify a 'war crime.' The conflict between Israel and Gaza continues, with recent strikes killing at least 10 Palestinians and severe shortages of food, medicine, and fuel due to Israel's blockade on humanitarian aid deliveries.

A US air strike on a detention centre in Houthi-controlled Yemen has killed at least 68 African migrants and injured 47 others, according to Houthi-run media. The centre in Saada province was holding 115 Africans when it was hit four times. The US defence official said the US military's Central Command was aware of the claims of civilian casualties and was conducting a battle-damage assessment. The Houthi-run interior ministry condemned the strike as a 'war crime'. The incident has sparked international concern, with the UN's International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) expressing their condolences and calling for the protection of civilians.

The Gaza Strip is on the brink of famine as Israel's total blockade, now nearing its third month, has severely restricted the entry of humanitarian aid and commercial goods. The World Food Programme's warehouses are empty, and soup kitchens are rationing their last stocks. Cases of acute child malnutrition have risen by 82% in the last month, with nearly 3,700 children diagnosed. The international community, including Israel's European allies, has called for the blockade to be lifted, but the US administration under President Donald Trump is backing Israel's actions.
