Khan Younis hospital appeals for burial shrouds after almost running out
Authorities at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis are appealing for burial shrouds as the increasing number of fatalities means there is a current shortage, Al Jazeera reported on Tuesday. The hospital's laundry department warned that an increasing shortage of shrouds will mean people who have been killed will be brought out and buried uncovered. Both Muslim and Christian Palestinians are typically buried in shrouds.

Insane tariff
The American medical system has faced many criticisms, mostly valid, especially in terms of cost and availability. Just when you think it couldn't get worse, it does. One disaster is the recent cuts, by Robert Kennedy Jr, of $US500 million in research into mRNA vaccines. Research would have helped to protect people, not harm them. Another one is Trump's proposed tariff of 250% on pharmaceuticals produced in Australia and other countries. This would seem to be designed to make Americans pay more for needed medicines or to bully Australian producers. All it will achieve, if it actually happens, is to harm American citizens. Keep well, if you can afford to. Dennis Fitzgerald, Melbourne, Australia

Child killed after Gaza aid package falls on his head
Footage from Gaza shows an aid package striking a child on the head during one of the rare airdrops over the besieged territory. The boy, identified by local media as Muhannad Zakaria Eid, had been waiting near the Netzarim area in central Gaza when the box came down at high speed. Video verified by Al Jazeera captured the moments after the impact, as people crowded around the bleeding child in a desperate attempt to save him. Later images showed his body in the hospital morgue, with his father cradling him in grief. Palestinian journalists say such incidents underscore the dangers and inadequacy of airdrops, which have repeatedly failed to meet the territory's overwhelming humanitarian needs and Israel's weaponisation of basic necessities in the besieged enclave.
