Israel has approved the delivery of some humanitarian aid from Egypt to Gaza.

This decision has been taken by Israel at the request of US President Joe Biden.

According to the statement issued by the PM of Israel, food, water and medicines can be sent but oil will not be sent.

Along with this, all the goods will be sent only until these supplies reach Hamas.

Notably, Biden has given full support to Israel, stressing the need to end a massive humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

On October 7, Hamas attacked Israel, after which Israel also started retaliatory bombing.

Yesterday, Israel attacked a hospital in the Gaza Strip.

The Health Department of Gaza claims that about 500 people have been killed.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday called the bombing of a hospital in Gaza an unacceptable and heartbreaking incident.

Flash floods in Indonesia’s North Sulawesi leave at least 16 dead, emergency declared

At least 16 people have died after sudden flash floods swept through parts of Indonesia’s North Sulawesi province following days of intense rainfall, according to local authorities. Heavy downpours caused rivers to overflow and embankments to collapse, sending fast-moving water mixed with debris into residential communities. Officials say several homes were completely washed away, while more than 140 houses sustained significant damage. Hundreds of residents were forced to flee their homes as floodwaters surged through low-lying areas, disrupting daily life and damaging local infrastructure.

Maduro appears in U.S. court as lawyers prepare to challenge drug trafficking case

Deposed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro made his first appearance in a United States courtroom Monday, facing drug trafficking and narco-terrorism charges that U.S. authorities say justified his arrest and transfer to New York. Maduro appeared briefly before a federal judge in Manhattan for an initial procedural hearing, a routine step that marks the beginning of what is expected to be a lengthy legal battle. His defence team is widely expected to argue that he cannot be prosecuted in the U.S. because of immunity claims tied to his status as a former head of state. Earlier in the day, Mad
