Gaza Breaking: Israel Accused of Firing on Starving Civilians |UN Slams Aid Blockade, Demands Action

More than 580 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,200 injured while standing in line for humanitarian aid in Gaza, according to the latest data from the Gaza Media Office. Eyewitness reports and Israeli media reveal shocking claims that IDF soldiers were ordered to fire on unarmed, starving civilians—men, women, and children—desperate for food. The UN has condemned the US-Israel airdrop system as a “death trap”, calling it a catastrophic failure of humanitarian response. A new study, led by the University of London and Palestinian scholars, reveals that nearly 100,000 people have died since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza—most from airstrikes, many from starvation and disease. This video unpacks the systematic targeting of civilians, the crumbling infrastructure, and the global silence in the face of a growing humanitarian catastrophe. Rights groups are calling this a modern genocide.

‘In Matter of MONTHS...’ | IAEA Chief Drops BOMBSHELL on Iran’s Nuclear Uranium Enrichment Plans [Video]

‘In Matter of MONTHS...’ | IAEA Chief Drops BOMBSHELL on Iran’s Nuclear Uranium Enrichment Plans

IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi has warned that Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months, despite recent U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites. Grossi emphasized that Iran’s expertise and infrastructure remain largely intact. Satellite images of Fordow show signs of possible reconstruction, contradicting Trump’s claim that Iran’s program was “totally obliterated.” The IAEA says damage was significant but not crippling. With Tehran cutting off cooperation with the UN watchdog, concerns are rising over Iran’s next nuclear move. #IranNuclearCrisis #IAEA #RafaelGrossi #Fordow #UraniumEnrichment #TrumpIranPolicy #NuclearTensions #IAEAWarns #IranStrikesBack #MiddleEastCrisis #USIranConflict #FordowFacility #BreakingNews #SatelliteImages #MaxarTechnologies #UNWatchdog #NuclearRestart #IranNuclearProgram #NuclearThreat #NuclearDealCollapse #Tehran #IranUpdate #StealthBomberStrike #TrumpClaims #IranianCentrifuges #NonProliferation #IranSanctions #GlobalSecurity #WeaponsOfMassDestruction #IAEALatest #IranFordowRepair Also Read IAEA Junks Rumours Of Radiation Leak From Any Nuclear Facility In Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iaea-junks-rumours-of-radiation-leak-from-any-nuclear-facility-in-pakistan-4153965.html?ref=DMDesc UN Nuclear Watchdog Chief Rafael Grossi to Visit Moscow Over Ukraine's Nuclear Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-nuclear-watchdog-chief-visit-moscow-ukraine-nuclear-safety-011-4062419.html?ref=DMDesc Drone Attack Elevates Nuclear Accident Risk At Zaporizhzhia, Says IAEA Chief :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/drone-attack-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-risks-011-3794213.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.103~GR.124~

IAEA Chief BETRAYED Iran? Ex-UN Inspector Says U.S. & Israel Got Scientist Data Through UN Watchdog [Video]

IAEA Chief BETRAYED Iran? Ex-UN Inspector Says U.S. & Israel Got Scientist Data Through UN Watchdog

Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter has accused IAEA chief Rafael Grossi of aiding Israel’s Mossad in assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists by leaking their identities and locations. In a June 29 interview on Iran’s Press TV, Ritter alleged that the agency under Grossi compromised Iran's scientists, directly leading to targeted killings. His claims have reignited Iran’s long-standing accusations of Western bias within the IAEA, further fueling Tehran’s decision to end cooperation with the agency. The controversy deepens tensions in the region and raises serious questions about international nuclear oversight. #Iran #IAEA #IranParliament #NuclearTensions #Khamenei #IranAttack #TelAvivUnderAttack #IranIsraelConflict #IranStrikesHaifa #HaifaPort #MissileStrike #TelAvivExplosions #IsraelIranWar #IronDome #IDF #MiddleEastCrisis #TehranRetaliation #AyatollahKhamenei #IsraelDefense #TelAvivMissiles #IranMissileStrike #IsraelUnderFire #TelAvivSkyline #MilitaryTensions #IDFHeadquarters #IsraelVsIran #BreakingNews Also Read Stop Disrespectful Tone Towards Khamenei If Trump Wants Deal: Iran Tells US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/stop-disrespectful-tone-towards-khamenei-if-trump-wants-deal-iran-tells-us-011-7785407.html?ref=DMDesc 'You Got Beat To Hell': Donald Trump On Iran's Victory Claim :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/you-got-beat-to-hell-donald-trump-on-irans-victory-claim-7785327.html?ref=DMDesc Iran's Khamenei Warns Against Future US Attacks After Ceasefire Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-khamenei-warns-against-future-us-attacks-011-7784453.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~
