Slovenia summons Israeli ambassador to protest humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza
Ljubljana – Saba: The Slovenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the accredited Israeli ambassador on Thursday to protest the severe humanitarian catastrophe resulting from restrictions on urgent aid delivery to the Gaza Strip. In a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, the Slovenian Foreign Ministry announced that it had summoned the newly appointed Israeli ambassador to Ljubljana, Ruth Cohen Dar, to the ministry. The ministry stated: "The Slovenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has taken a diplomatic initiative by summoning the Israeli ambassador accredited to Slovenia to protest the severe humanitarian catastrophe caused by restrictions on the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid to Gaza." Slovenia also called on Israel to immediately halt the killing and starvation of civilians. Palestinians in Gaza are facing an unprecedented wave of hunger since the Israeli occupation forces closed the strip's crossings in early March, imposing strict restrictions on the entry of food, relief supplies, fuel, and medicine. Over time, Gaza's residents have exhausted all food resources, leaving shops empty and making it nearly impossible to find a loaf of bread. Meanwhile, available goods have seen a dramatic surge in prices, turning "death by starvation" into one of the leading causes of death in the strip. With American and European support, the Israeli occupation army has continued to commit genocidal crimes in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 60,249 Palestinian civilians, most of them children and women, and injuring 147,089 others—figures that are not yet final, as thousands remain trapped under rubble or in streets inaccessible to rescue teams.

28 Palestinians, including Children, starving Civilians, killed by Israeli Fire in Gaza since dawn
Gaza – SABA: At least 28 Palestinian civilians, including children and malnourished individuals, were killed and dozens more wounded in ongoing Israeli attacks across various areas of the Gaza Strip since early Thursday morning. According to medical, local, and media sources monitored by Yemen News Agency (SABA), most of the casualties occurred while victims were waiting for aid distribution, or were sheltering in tents and residential neighborhoods targeted by Israeli forces. The Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza reported that the death toll there rose from 7 to 12, with 60 others injured, after Israeli forces attacked a crowd of starving civilians near an aid distribution point on Salah al-Din Street. In northern Gaza City, three people were killed and others injured in an airstrike targeting the Salfiti family apartment, which sparked a large fire. In Jabalia, at least one woman was killed and dozens injured, including children, in another airstrike on a residential home. At Al-Shifa Medical Complex, the body of another victim and several wounded people arrived after Israeli forces bombed Al-Karama neighborhood in northwest Gaza. In Deir al-Balah (central Gaza), five Palestinians were killed in a drone strike on a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Bassa area. In Khan Younis (south Gaza), a drone attack on a tent in the Al-Mawasi zone killed three Palestinians, including two children, and injured over 15 others. Another civilian was shot dead by a drone in Qizan an-Najjar, also in southern Khan Younis. Elsewhere in Al-Mawasi's Bir 19 area, two more children were killed when a tent housing displaced families was shelled. Backed by U.S. and European support, Israel's military campaign in Gaza, ongoing since October 7, 2023, has resulted in the deaths of 60,249 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and injured 147,089 others, according to Thursday's figures. Thousands more remain buried under rubble or stranded, with emergency and rescue teams unable to reach them. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

German Foreign Minister: Israel Faces Growing Diplomatic Isolation Over Gaza War
Berlin – Saba: German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stated on Thursday that Israel is facing increasing diplomatic isolation due to the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and the growing international push for recognition of a Palestinian state. In a statement, Baerbock emphasized that the recent UN conference on Palestine—which the United States and Israel boycotted—demonstrates that Israel is increasingly "finding itself in the minority." On Wednesday, 15 Western countries, including France, Canada, and Australia (both G20 members), issued a joint appeal recognizing a Palestinian state and demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Other signatories to the statement included: - Andorra, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Slovenia, and Spain. With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has continued its genocidal war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in: - 60,249 Palestinian civilians killed (mostly women and children) - 147,089 injured (figures remain incomplete as thousands remain trapped under rubble, unreachable by rescue teams).
