UAE sends over 1,000 tons of food aid to Gaza amid humanitarian crisis - War on Gaza
The UAE sent a new humanitarian aid convoy to the Gaza Strip on Wednesday as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, state news agency WAM reported. The latest convoy delivered 1,039 tons of food supplies and flour as part of the UAE's ongoing efforts to support displaced Palestinians and address the worsening humanitarian crisis. The aid is intended to assist around 1.3 million people in the besieged enclave, where residents face growing shortages of essential goods after months of Israel's war. Under the same operation, the UAE has supported 31 bakeries across Gaza to ensure the continued supply of bread and basic food for families displaced by Israel's brutal war on Gaza. Despite ongoing logistical and security challenges, the UAE has pledged to sustain the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. According to WAM, the operation reflects the UAE's "longstanding and unwavering commitment" to supporting the Palestinian people. In mid-May, Israel slightly eased its blockade of Gaza after nearly three months, allowing a limited amount of humanitarian aid into the territory. Experts have warned that Gaza is at risk of famine if more aid is not brought in. UN agencies and major aid groups say Israeli restrictions, the breakdown of law and order, and widespread looting make it extremely difficult to deliver aid to millions of Palestinians in Gaza.

What If an Egyptian Filmmaker Directed Your Instagram Feed?
Let's face it: we treat our feeds like pitching to a festival. Whether it's an 'accidentally perfect' beach shot or a cryptic story at 3 AM, there's always a tiny voice inside saying, 'Cut let's take that again.' But what if that voice wasn't yours? What if your Instagram was directed by one of Egypt's most iconic filmmakers? We imagined a world where Egyptian directors took over our feeds. The result? Four completely different stories and four wildly different vibes. Here's what your look and feel might be like through their lenses. Amr Salama If your Instagram feed was directed by Amr Salama, it wouldn't follow a theme. One day it's deeply personal, the next it's unsettlingly surreal. You're the friend who posts something funny at noon, then drops a heavy caption about generational trauma by sunset. The colors shift. The fonts change. But the thread? Sharp emotion wrapped in dry humor. You're always spotlighting someone unknown, hyping a project no one's heard of. It's chaotic, sure, but it's raw and real. Youssef Chahine If Chahine took over your Instagram, it wouldn't be a feed, it would be a personal epic. Every post feels like the middle of a memory: half-dream, half-confession. You're always caught in a moment, thinking, smoking, feeling too much, and saying even more. No selfies here. Just soul-searching captions under sunlit portraits layered with questions about belonging, love, politics, and the philosophy of life. Marwan Hamed You don't have an Instagram. You have a mood board. If Marwan Hamed was directing your feed, it would be high contrast, high drama, and zero mediocrity. You live in wide shots. You're shadowed by symbolism. Even a mirror selfie becomes a psychological thriller with an intense soundtrack humming under the surface. People scroll in silence, wondering if there's a metaphor they missed. And if someone ends up spiraling in your comment section? That's exactly how you planned it. Karim El Shenawy If El Shenawy directed your feed, it would be sharp, intentional, and just cryptic enough to keep people guessing. You don't post daily, and you definitely don't overshare. Instead, each image is filled with precision: a quiet scene, a lingering glance, a single line that says everything without spelling it out. You don't chase attention. You hold it just long enough to leave your followers wondering what they missed. Sandra Nashaat With Sandra calling the shots, your feed is anything but spontaneous. Every post is intentional. You don't do blurry selfies. You wait, you build, and then, you drop. One clean, striking image that says more than any caption ever could. Your life becomes a slow burn. A birthday pic turns into a suspense reel. A dinner photo feels like something's about to happen. And just when your followers think they've figured you out, you hit them with a plot twist. Your feed might look like you, but from the director's pov, it could feel like a whole new story. Maybe it's a slow burn. Maybe it's a thriller. Maybe it's a little too honest. Either way, it's not just about what you post, it's how you tell it. So scroll back through your grid and ask yourself: if your life was a film who would direct it?
