EU plans to remove the UAE from its 'high-risk' money-laundering list
Following the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to provide treatment and healthcare to 1,000 wounded Palestinian children and 1,000 cancer patients from the Gaza Strip in UAE hospitals, the UAE - in cooperation with the World Health Organisation (WHO) - has conducted its latest evacuation flight from Ramon airport in Israel, via Karam Abu Salam crossing, carrying 101 injured people, and accompanied by 87 family members. So far, 2,630 patients and family members have arrived in the UAE, which reflects the country's commitment to providing the necessary medical treatment for Palestinians in UAE hospitals.
Sultan Al Shamsi, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Development and International Organisations and Vice Chairman of the UAE Aid Agency, said: 'The initiative launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE President, demonstrates the UAE's long-standing support for the brotherly Palestinian people, and the country's solidarity with the people of Gaza during the ongoing crisis. The UAE humanitarian initiatives contribute to alleviating the disastrous impacts endured by residents of the Strip, particularly children, women, and the elderly.'
Al Shamsi added, 'During this critical time, the UAE will spare no effort to extend help to the Palestinians and launch initiatives for their aid whether by land, sea, or air. We will continue to closely work –through our leading and pioneering role - with the United Nations and our international partners to intensify the necessary efforts to alleviate the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, and ensure the urgent, safe, unhindered, and sustainable delivery of aid at a wide scale and through all possible means.'
He further highlighted, 'The UAE is among the leading countries in providing support to the people in Gaza. Since the onset of the crisis in October 2023, the country has provided over 40% of the total amount of aid delivered.'
Al Shamsi affirmed that the UAE's continuous efforts to conduct medical evacuation flights reflect the country's commitment to providing advanced medical healthcare to injured Palestinians, and to contribute to humanitarian efforts during these critical conditions. H.E. Al Shamsi affirmed that the UAE will implement all measures to support the people of Gaza during these difficult circumstances, and will continue its humanitarian and relief endeavours to evacuate injured people and patients, which reflect the country's steadfast commitment to saving lives.
Al Shamsi added, 'Since the outbreak of the crisis, the UAE has undertaken robust efforts to provide advanced healthcare to sick and severely injured Palestinians in the UAE field hospital in the southern Gaza Strip and the hospital ship anchored in Al-Arish Port. Since the beginning of the crisis, the UAE has provided a wide-scale relief response for the brotherly Palestinians to support them during the ongoing critical circumstances. The country has provided over 65,000 tonnes of relief, food, and medical supplies.'

WHO warns of consequences of attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran
Geneva – SABA: World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus expressed deep concern on Tuesday over the 'potential attacks' on nuclear facilities, warning that such actions could have 'immediate and long-term impacts on the environment and public health in Iran and the region.' In a statement posted on social media, Ghebreyesus described the Israeli aggression against Iran as 'extremely alarming,' noting the 'large number of civilian casualties.' He urged all parties to work toward de-escalation and peace, stressing that 'the consequences of any escalation in this direction will not be confined to a single party but will extend beyond the borders of geography and conflict.' This warning comes after Israeli Security Minister and war criminal Yisrael Katz stated earlier that the Israeli entity would attack 'strategic, governmental, and infrastructure targets in Tehran today,' claiming that 'there are 10 nuclear facilities in Tehran, and we are working to destroy them.'

UNICEF: Gaza families bitterly suffer to secure one meal for children
Gaza - Saba: UNICEF spokesperson James Elder confirmed that Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip are struggling to provide a single meal for their children daily, as "far more bombs and rockets are entering Gaza than food." Elder told the Turkish Anadolu Agency on Sunday that the situation in the Gaza Strip is worsening by the day, in light of the ongoing blockade and Israeli attacks. He described the humanitarian situation in the Strip as "bleak, horrific, and hopeless." He noted that the hopes generated by talks of a ceasefire in Gaza improved slightly, as the area witnessed a partial flow of aid and limited improvements in water and food supplies. He continued, "However, this optimism quickly faded, as the Strip faced a catastrophic aid blockade." He added that "the people of Gaza are living harsh nights under bombardment and spending their days fleeing hunger and explosions," stressing that "everything we knew about people's resilience has been completely shattered." He added, "The world seems preoccupied only with seeing the wounded and talking about aid, ignoring the enormous psychological burden the population is experiencing and the harsh reality for families forced to flee repeatedly after losing everything." He pointed out that many families have been living in tents for six months, under tank fire, and are now being forced to move again. He emphasized that Gaza has been experiencing this tragic scene for more than 600 days. He pointed out that mothers go two days without food just to be able to provide a single meal for their children. He explained that estimating the number of children dying of starvation daily or weekly is extremely difficult in such circumstances, but he emphasized that children suffering from malnutrition die "from simple causes that could have been easily treated." He explained that "acute malnutrition increases the likelihood of a child dying from simple causes by 10 times. This is the deadly cycle that kills children." Food shortages, water contamination, and a lack of basic healthcare." He warned that access to hospitals is no longer safe for sick or malnourished children, stressing that the hospitals themselves lack basic medical supplies. Eldar said, "Humanitarian aid may only amount to 10% of what people actually need. Much more bombs and rockets are entering Gaza than food. He noted that during the ceasefire, the United Nations and its Palestinian partners were able to establish 400 distribution points to provide humanitarian aid. He emphasized that through this system, they were able to reach those in need effectively. Al-Dar criticized the new aid distribution system currently being imposed in southern Gaza by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund. He described it as "military in nature" and involving only limited distribution sites. He added, "This system leads to daily casualties, with children being killed simply for trying to get a box of food." "Now, a system deliberately designed by Israel to push the population from the north of the Strip to the south threatens to undermine the effective aid distribution system we have established," he warned.
