French FM Slams U.S.-Israel Led Gaza Humanitarian Body as 'Shameful'

Ahmed Emam French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot strongly criticized the U.S. and Israel-led humanitarian body in Gaza, describing it as 'shameful' and accusing it of causing bloodshed. According to Alqahera News, Barrot made the remarks in a statement on Thursday, stressing that the entity, which claims to address humanitarian needs in Gaza, has instead contributed to worsening the crisis and fueling violence. The French minister's comments come amid mounting international concerns over the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, where aid delivery has been severely hindered by ongoing hostilities and restrictions. Barrot's condemnation underscores France's growing criticism of current international mechanisms managing the crisis in Gaza, and reflects Paris's call for a more transparent and effective humanitarian framework that prioritizes civilian protection. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Israel killings of Palestinians at Gaza GHF aid sites amount to war crimes: HRW - War on Gaza

Human Rights Watch on Friday warned that Israeli forces at the distribution sites of the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) have routinely opened fire on starving Palestinian civilians in acts that amount to war crimes. 'The dire humanitarian situation is a direct result of Israel's use of starvation of civilians as a weapon of war – a war crime – as well as Israel's continued intentional deprivation of aid and basic services, ongoing actions that amount to the crime against humanity of extermination, and acts of genocide,' read the report released Friday. "The repeated use of lethal force against Palestinian civilians by Israeli forces, without justification, violates both international humanitarian and human rights law.... Regular killings by Israeli forces near GHF sites also amount to war crimes," it added. The release of the damning report comes after nearly 22 months of Israel's war on Gaza and a five-month blockade on food and essential supplies, which have driven Gaza's 2.3 million Palestinians toward famine. 'Israeli forces are not only deliberately starving Palestinian civilians, but they are now gunning them down almost every day as they desperately seek food for their families,' said Belkis Wille, associate crisis and conflict director at HRW. 'US-backed Israeli forces and private contractors have put in place a flawed, militarized aid distribution system that has turned aid distributions into regular bloodbaths.' GHF began operations in late May, bypassing the longstanding UN-led humanitarian system. Since then, Israeli troops have regularly fired on starving Palestinian civilians approaching GHF centres for food. According to the UN, at least 1,373 Palestinians were killed as they tried to access food between 27 May and 31 July 2025, including 859 who were in the vicinity of GHF sites. US President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff was expected in Gaza on Friday to inspect at least one GHF food distribution site, as international pressure mounts for Israel to fully lift its blockade and allow unfettered aid access for starving Palestinians.

Colombia Sees 43% Surge in Deforestation

Israa Farhan Colombia has reported a sharp 43% rise in deforestation in 2024, reversing the downward trend recorded in previous years. According to figures released by the Environment Ministry and IDEAM, the country lost around 113,600 hectares of forest last year, with the Amazon region suffering the most severe damage. The data marks a significant setback after 2023 witnessed a 36% drop in forest loss, reaching the lowest rate in over two decades. Environment Minister Lena Estrada confirmed that the Amazon rainforest accounted for more than 65% of total deforestation, with an estimated 75,000 hectares destroyed. She described the Amazon as a fragile area, home to vulnerable communities now facing increasing environmental pressures. The government attributed the rise in forest destruction to a combination of illegal land grabbing for pastures, the expansion of cattle ranching, unauthorized construction, and the growth of illicit crops such as coca. Climate change also played a role, with wildfires during prolonged droughts accelerating the forest loss. Protected national parks were not spared. Areas like Tinigua, La Macarena, and Chiribiquete, Colombia's UNESCO-listed heritage site, also experienced notable deforestation in 2024. Despite the recent spike, officials highlighted that deforestation levels remain below those recorded in 2021. Ghisliane Echeverry, head of IDEAM, noted that Colombia still maintains a net reduction in forest loss compared to that baseline year, continuing an overall downward trend that began in 2022. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
