ISRAEL - Details are slowly emerging about a controversial Gaza–South Africa transit scheme run by a nonprofit organization, through which activists say Israel is encouraging the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza by helping them resettle in other countries.
Displaced Palestinians are struggling after heavy rains flooded their tents in makeshift displacement camps in Gaza City, as the United Nations warns that Israeli restrictions on aid have left hundreds of thousands of families without adequate shelter.
The United States has called on the UN Security Council to formally support its draft resolution aimed at reinforcing President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, warning that Palestinians could face “grave consequences” if it is not adopted.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 69,187 Palestinians and wounded 170,703 since October 2023. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attacks, and roughly 200 were taken captive. (Aljazeera)
