Update: Date: 3m ago (00:10 GMT) Title: Iranians extremely distraught as more explosions are reported in Tehran Content: We've heard of two major explosions in Tehran over the past hour and another one in the suburb of Karaj, west of the capital. Air defences have been activated there due to the latest strikes, as well as in the city of Tabriz, northwest of the country, as well as in Bushehr in the south. What we are also hearing from the Israeli military is that they are issuing again another forced evacuation threat. This time, in the District 18 of Tehran that is known as the Shadegh area. It is a densely-populated area that is home to about 400,000 people, and is located south of the Mehrabad Airport, the domestic airport, which has not been operation since Friday. This is the second time that Israel issued an evacuation threat highlighting a specific neighbourhood, and it is coming in the middle of the night. Internet is also down in the country due to a cyber-attack, so it is not clear if most people would get the information that they are supposed to evacuate. People are extremely distraught and worried. Those who have fled the capital are also facing issues of food supply in the areas where they have fled to. There's lots of concerns and nowhere to go, and they are not able to access information easily.

At least 60 people ‘feared dead' after shipwrecks off the coast of Libya
At least 60 refugees and migrants are feared missing and drowned at sea after two shipwrecks off the coast of Libya, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has said, after attempting the perilous crossing to Europe. 'With dozens feared dead and entire families left in anguish, IOM is once again urging the international community to scale up search and rescue operations and guarantee safe, predictable disembarkation for survivors,' Othman Belbeisi, the regional director for the Middle East and North Africa. One shipwreck occurred on June 12 near Alshab port in Tripolitania, the United Nations agency said. Only five survivors were found and 21 people were reported missing. Among those feared dead are six Eritreans, including three women and three children, five Pakistanis, four Egyptians and two Sudanese men. The identities of four others remain unknown. The second incident occurred on June 13, approximately 35km (22 miles) west of Libya's Tobruk. According to the sole survivor, who was rescued by fishermen, 39 people are missing. At least 743 people have died so far this year attempting to cross the Mediterranean to Europe, including 538 on the Central Mediterranean route, which remains the deadliest known migration route in the world. In recent years, the European Union has increased efforts to reduce such migration, including by providing equipment and financial support to the Libyan coastguard, a quasi-military organisation linked to militias accused of abuses and other crimes. NGOs say the phasing out of state-run search and rescue operations has made journeys across the Mediterranean more dangerous. They have also denounced what they see as punitive action by states against charities operating in the Mediterranean. As a result, many people fleeing conflict and persecution have found themselves stranded in Libya, often held in detention in conditions that rights groups describe as inhumane. Libya, which is still struggling to recover from years of war and chaos after the 2011 NATO-backed overthrow of longtime ruler Muammar Gaddafi, has been criticised for its treatment of refugees and migrants. Accusations from rights groups range from extortion to slavery, while smugglers and human traffickers have also taken advantage of the climate of instability in the country.

Qatar calls on int'l community to take steps to stop Israeli atrocities against Palestinians
QNA Geneva Qatar has affirmed that impunity and lack of accountability have encouraged Israel to continue committing further violations and crimes against Palestinians. Qatar called on the international community to take the necessary measures to stop these crimes, ensure accountability for those responsible, and compel Israel, the occupying power, to comply with international law and ensure the restoration of all the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, in particular the right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent and fully sovereign State of Palestine on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This came in Qatar's statement delivered by Permanent Representative of Qatar in Geneva HE Dr. Hind Abdulrahman Al Muftah during her participation in the interactive dialogue with the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, Item 2, within the framework of the 59th session of the Human Rights Council. She said that the report cited the seizure, theft, and destruction of Palestinian Islamic and Christian cultural and religious sites by the Israeli occupation forces and Israeli settlers, and the deliberate and unjustified targeting of educational facilities, particularly in the Gaza Strip, as well as UNRWA schools, despite being regularly informed of the coordinates of these schools and the lack of any evidence of military targets in these facilities. She said that these actions were a heinous crime and a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and international human rights law. The Qatari diplomat affirmed that this racist and criminal Israeli approach aimed to genocide the Palestinian people, displace them, and deprive Palestinian children and youth of their right to education, expand the scope of Israeli settlements, and undermine the identity and existence of the Palestinian people and their historical connection to the State of Palestine. She also welcomed the members of the International Commission of Inquiry and thanked them for their efforts.
