834 cases of amputation recorded among children since Israel resumed war on Gaza
GAZA CITY, April 15 (MENA) - Head of the Pediatrics and Maternity Department at Nasser Medical Hospital in Gaza Dr. Ahmed al-Farah said Tuesday that there has been a significant increase in the number of victims among children and women since Israel resumed its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip. In a statement reported by Al-Arabiya Al-Hadath news channel, the head of the pediatrics department said, 'the Palestinian Health Ministry has recorded 834 cases of amputation among children since Israel resumed the war on the Gaza Strip,' noting that more than 40% of the victims of the war on Gaza are children. The Palestinian pediatrician strongly denounced the Israeli atrocities committed against children and women. He said that the number of children killed since Israel broke the ceasefire and resumed its onslaught, has reached 500 so far. About one million children in the Gaza Strip lack all basic necessities to survive, as a result of Israel hindering the delivery of humanitarian aid and food supplies into the Strip, according to the United Nations.

Arab summit presented ‘practical solution' for Gaza reconstruction without displacement: FM Abdelatty - Foreign Affairs
Egypt's Gaza reconstruction plan — agreed upon at the Extraordinary Arab Summit held in Cairo on Tuesday — is a practical solution that can be implemented on the ground, remarked Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdelatty to Saudi news channel Al-Arabiya Al-Hadath on Wednesday. Abdelatty asserted that Arab nations are capable of reconstructing the Gaza Strip within five years without displacing Palestinians. Arab leaders at the Cairo summit vehemently rejected the forced displacement of Palestinians in the strip and the West Bank. The summit's final communique emphasized support for the Egyptian response to US President Donald Trump's colonialist proposal of a Gaza 'takeover'. Abdelatty said the summit's proposal would address the "tragedy and catastrophe" caused by widespread destruction to homes, infrastructure, medical centres, and public facilities. Egypt's top diplomat underscored the need for a political process to establish a Palestinian state to ensure the reconstruction plan's success. The FM added that a "conducive environment" and a sustained and secure ceasefire are a necessary prerequisite for the plan's implementation. Regarding Gaza's post-war administration, Abdelatty said there was consensus on proposed figures, stressing it must be led by independent Palestinians. A Roadmap for Recovery The Egyptian plan details a three-stage process, an early recovery plan followed by two phases of extensive reconstruction, to create a smart city featuring enhanced infrastructure and amenities. To avoid displacement, the early recovery plan includes bringing 200,000 temporary housing units into the strip for those without shelter. A central component of the plan involves the creation of a Gaza Administration Committee, composed of independent Palestinian experts, to oversee the territory during a transitional period under the supervision of the Palestinian Authority. This committee would play a crucial role in managing the initial recovery and paving the way for long-term reconstruction as per the plan. The five-year plan is estimated to cost around $53 billion as the 15-month-long Israeli genocidal war has left the strip in ruins. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Iraq proposes new security agreement with US
Shafaq News/ Iraq has proposed a new security agreement with the United States, currently under review by the administration of President Donald Trump, Iraqi Defense Minister Thabet Al-Abbasi revealed on Tuesday. 'The agreement establishes a lasting security partnership and deep intelligence cooperation,' Al-Abbasi stated in remarks reported by Al-Arabiya Al-Hadath. The minister also emphasized Iraq's position on US troops in Syria, calling it crucial for regional stability. 'Their presence is essential until a capable Syrian army is established or a formal security arrangement with the SDF is reached,' he asserted. Highlighting security risks, Al-Abbasi warned that any premature withdrawal of the US troops could create a power vacuum, enabling militant groups to regroup and threatening Iraq's borders. Notably, the security partnership between Iraq and the United States is grounded in key agreements, particularly the 2008 Strategic Framework Agreement (SFA) and the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), which govern military collaboration and troop presence. Since 2015, the US has provided Iraq with $1.25 billion in Foreign Military Financing to strengthen its security forces, logistics, and counterterrorism efforts. The US has also contributed over $590 million to weapons destruction programs.
