Mount Etna can be seen erupting near Catania, Italy, on Monday, June 2. Although Mount Etna is one of the world's most active volcanoes, there hasn't been an eruption of this magnitude since 2014, according to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology Osama al-Raqab, suffering from severe malnutrition, undergoes treatment at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, on Saturday, May 31. Israel halted all humanitarian aid into Gaza in early March, with government officials saying their goal was to force Hamas to accept new ceasefire terms and release hostages taken during the militant group's terror attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. The ban meant no supplies entered the territory for 11 weeks, pushing Gaza's 2.1 million people deeper into a hunger crisis. Israel eased its blockade two weeks ago, allowing a small amount of aid to enter Gaza, but the amount of aid trickling in is nowhere near enough to meet the needs of the population, according to Palestinian officials and international aid groups.
