Thailand and Cambodia agree truce after five days of fighting
Malaysia PM announces ceasefire as first step towards de-escalation, restoration of peace and security PUTRAJAYA: Thailand and Cambodia's leaders agreed to an 'unconditional' ceasefire Monday, after five days of combat along their jungle-clad frontier that has killed at least 36 people. More than 200,000 people have fled as the two sides fired artillery, rockets and guns in a battle over the long-disputed area, which is home to a smattering of ancient temples. The flare-up was the deadliest since violence raged sporadically from 2008-2011 over the territory, claimed by both sides because of a vague demarcation made by Cambodia's French colonial administrators in 1907. Reading a joint statement from the leaders of both countries after peace talks, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said they had agreed 'an immediate and unconditional ceasefire' with effect from midnight Monday (1700 GMT). 'This is a vital first step towards de-escalation and the restoration of peace and security,' he said at a press conference in Malaysia's administrative capital Putrajaya, flanked by Thai acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet. Anwar said a meeting of military commanders from both sides would take place on Tuesday morning, before the countries' cross-border committee would meet in Cambodia on August 4. As the deal was being announced, an AFP journalist in the Cambodian city of Samraong - 17 kilometers (10 miles) from the fraught frontier - reported hearing continuing artillery blasts. US President Donald Trump - who both nations are courting for trade deals to avert the threat of eye-watering tariffs - intervened over the weekend, and said both sides had agreed to 'quickly work out' a truce. 'Today we had a very good meeting and very good results,' said Cambodia's Hun Manet, thanking Trump for his 'decisive' support and saying the truce would serve as 'a foundation for future de-escalation'. Ahead of the summit, Thailand and Cambodia had traded fresh fire and barbed accusations. Cambodia's defense ministry spokeswoman Maly Socheata said it was 'the fifth day that Thailand has invaded Cambodia's territory with heavy weapons and with the deployment of a lot of troops'. And as he departed Bangkok airport, Phumtham told reporters he did not believe Cambodia was 'acting in good faith'. After the talks hosted by Anwar - chair of the ASEAN bloc of which both Thailand and Cambodia are members - Phumtham called for the truce to be 'carried out in good faith by both sides'. 'Thailand decides for peaceful resolution, while continuing to protect our sovereignty and the lives of our people,' he said. On the eve of the talks, Thailand's military said Cambodian snipers were camped in one of the contested temples, and accused Phnom Penh of surging troops along the border and hammering Thai territory with rockets. It said there was fighting at seven areas in the rural region, marked by a ridge of hills surrounded by wild jungle and fields where locals farm rubber and rice. 'The situation remains highly tense, and it is anticipated that Cambodia may be preparing for a major military operation prior to entering negotiations,' the Thai military statement read. Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn marked his 73rd birthday on Monday, but a notice in the country's Royal Gazette said his public celebrations scheduled for Bangkok's Grand Palace had been cancelled amid the strife. Trump has threatened both countries with high levies in his global tariff blitz unless they agree to independent trade deals - but said he would 'look forward' to signing them once 'peace is at hand'. Each side had already agreed to a truce in principle, while accusing the other of undermining peace efforts and trading allegations about the use of cluster bombs and targeting of hospitals. Thailand says nine of its soldiers and 14 civilians have been killed, while Cambodia has confirmed eight civilian and five military deaths. The Thai military said it had returned the bodies of 12 Cambodian soldiers killed in combat. More than 138,000 people have fled Thailand's border regions, while around 140,000 have been driven from their homes in Cambodia. With the skirmish enflaming nationalist sentiments, Thailand warned its citizens to 'refrain from any kind of violence, whether in speech or action' against Cambodian migrants living in the country. – AFP

INVESTMENTS IN PERU HEADING FOR MAJOR UPTURN
KUWAIT CITY, July 28: Assistant Foreign Affairs Minister for Development and International Cooperation Ambassador Hamad Al-Mashaan has revealed that Kuwait is organizing an aid airlift to Gaza. Al-Mashaan made the announcement when he attended the Peruvian Embassy's National Day celebration recently, with a number of ambassadors and members of the diplomatic corps in attendance. He said coordination is underway with the Ministry of Social Affairs, indicating the airlift will be launched after a donation campaign that begins Tuesday and continues until Thursday, when associations will be allowed to collect donations. He affirmed that donations will be used to purchase food supplies like oil and flour through the Kuwait Flour Mills and Bakeries Company, in addition to other basic commodities. He added that 'after collecting donations for three days, we will coordinate with the Ministry of Defense to transport all aid through the Kuwaiti military aircraft to Arish, where the shipment will be delivered to the Egyptian Red Crescent Society in coordination with Kuwait Red Crescent Society.' He stated that some flights will be directed to Jordan, where the Jordanian Army will receive them. 'Some will then be dropped off by air, while others will enter through the border in Egypt,' he clarified. He confirmed that First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef presided over seven meetings, the last of which led to the approval of the humanitarian work draft law. He revealed that it is a comprehensive law consisting of three chapters, adding that the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are the institutions most concerned with the law. He explained that under this law, there will be an integrated center for humanitarian work, encompassing all the needs of charitable organizations domestically and abroad. 'Charitable organizations will no longer need to contact the Ministry of Social Affairs or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The center will be authorized to declare charitable organizations, organize relief campaigns, and approve donation collections abroad,' he elaborated. He pointed out that there is no place in the world without a Kuwaiti charitable presence, emphasizing that local charitable work is given priority, followed by international work. He also asserted that Kuwait's relations with the Republic of Peru began in 1975. 'We are celebrating the 50th anniversary of this distinguished relationship. Kuwait is linked with Peru through three signed agreements, as well as 13 agreements under negotiation and preparation. The investments of Kuwait in Peru have reached half a billion dollars, and we hope these investments will increase,' he disclosed. , Ambassador of the Republic of Peru to Kuwait Carlos Enrique Tomas Jimenez Gil affirmed the depth of bilateral relations between the two countries, expressing his country's aspiration for more partnerships and cooperation in various fields. He reiterated that his country remains committed to the values of freedom and peace, asserting that Peru will remain a land of peace and freedom. He pointed out that Peru, over the past 50 years, has maintained strong, friendly relations with the State of Kuwait, confirming the continuation of this approach. He added that his country celebrates the 204th anniversary of its declaration of independence this year, indicating this anniversary is a moment of pride and appreciation for a long history of freedom, opennes,s and peaceful coexistence.

Emirati and Jordanian planes drop food as Gazans starve
Zionists accused of using starvation as weapon GAZA: Jordanian and Emirati planes dropped food into Gaza on Sunday, as Zionist entity began a limited 'tactical pause' in military operations to allow the UN and aid agencies to tackle a deepening hunger crisis. The Zionist military said it had also begun airdropping food into the Palestinian territory - making one drop of seven palettes - while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected what he characterized as UN 'lies' that his government was to blame for the dire humanitarian situation. The army also dismissed allegations that it had been using starvation as a weapon, saying it had coordinated with the UN and international agencies to 'increase the scale of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip'. UN emergency relief coordinator Tom Fletcher welcomed the tactical pauses, saying he was in 'contact with our teams on the ground who will do all we can to reach as many starving people as we can in this window'. But the UN's World Food Program said a third of the population of Gaza had not eaten for days, and 470,000 people were 'enduring famine-like conditions' that were already leading to deaths. The Zionist decision came as international pressure mounted on Netanyahu's government to head off the risk of mass starvation in the territory. Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz joined the chorus of concern on Sunday, urging Netanyahu 'to provide the starving civilian population in Gaza with urgently needed humanitarian aid now.' Accusing the UN of fabricating 'pretexts and lies about (Zionist entity)' blocking aid, Netanyahu said in remarks at an airbase that 'there are secure routes' for aid. 'There have always been, but today it's official. There will be no more excuses,' he added. Since Zionist entity imposed a total blockade on aid entering Gaza on March 2, the situation inside the territory has deteriorated sharply. More than 100 NGOs warned this week of 'mass starvation'. Though aid has trickled back in since late May, the UN and humanitarian agencies say Zionist restrictions remain excessive and road access inside Gaza is tightly controlled. The Jordanian military said its planes, working with the United Arab Emirates, had delivered 25 tons of aid in three parachute drops over Gaza on Sunday. Truckloads of flour were also seen arriving in northern Gaza through the Zikim area crossing from Zionist entity, according to AFP journalists. The charity Oxfam's regional policy chief Bushra Khalidi called Zionist entity's latest moves a 'welcome first step' but warned they could prove insufficient. 'Starvation won't be solved by a few trucks or airdrops,' she said. 'What's needed is a real humanitarian response: ceasefire, full access, all crossings open, and a steady, large-scale flow of aid into Gaza. 'We need a permanent ceasefire, a complete lifting of the siege.' In general, humanitarian officials are deeply skeptical airdrops can deliver enough food safely to tackle the hunger crisis facing Gaza's more than two million inhabitants. In Gaza City's Tel Al-Hawa district, 30-year-old Suad Ishtaywi said her 'life's wish' was to simply feed her children. She spoke of her husband returning empty-handed from aid points daily. Chaotic scenes broke out at the site where Zionist entity conducted its first food drop, witnesses told AFP. Samih Humeid, a 23-year-old from the Al-Karama neighborhood of Gaza City, said dozens of people had gathered to rush towards the palettes of supplies parachuted onto the area. 'It felt like a war, everyone trying to grab whatever they could. Hunger is merciless. The quantities were extremely limited, not enough even for a few people, because hunger is everywhere. I only managed to get three cans of fava beans,' he said. In a social media post, the Zionist military announced it had 'carried out an airdrop of humanitarian aid as part of the ongoing efforts to allow and facilitate the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip'. AFP journalists saw Egyptian trucks crossing from Rafah, with cargo routed through Zionist entity's Kerem Shalom checkpoint for inspection before entering Gaza. The Zionist army's daily pause from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm will be limited to areas where its troops are not currently operating - Al-Mawasi in the south, central Deir el-Balah and Gaza City in the north. Zionist entity said 'designated secure routes' would also open across Gaza for aid convoys carrying food and medicine. The military said the measures should disprove 'the false claim of deliberate starvation'. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former Zionist defense minister Yoav Gallant, citing 'reasonable grounds' to suspect war crimes including starvation - charges Zionist entity vehemently denies. Activists intercepted On Sunday, according to the Gaza civil defense agency, army fire killed 27 Palestinians, 12 of them near aid distribution areas. Media restrictions in Gaza and difficulties in accessing many areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify tolls and details provided by the civil defense agency and other parties. Separately, the Zionist navy brought an activist boat, the Handala operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, into the part of Ashdod, after intercepting and boarding it late Saturday to prevent it attempting to breach a maritime blockade of Gaza. The legal rights centre Adalah told AFP its lawyers were in Ashdod and had met with 19 of the 21 detained activists and journalists from 10 countries. The other two detainees, dual US-Zionist entity nationals, had been transferred to Zionist police custody, the group said. Zionist entity launched its military campaign in Gaza after Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. The Zionist campaign has killed 59,733 Palestinians, mostly civilians, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory. - AFP
