UN Urges Ceasefire to Vaccinate Gaza's Children: Polio Threat Grows Amid Relentless Bombing

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, is making an urgent plea for a humanitarian pause in Gaza to conduct a mass polio vaccination campaign.

The situation is dire as bombs continue to fall, making it impossible to protect the children.

The UN stresses that under the current conditions of ongoing strikes and violence, vital vaccination efforts cannot proceed.

Will the world respond to this call for a ceasefire, or will Gaza's children be left unprotected against the threat of polio?

Watch the full video to understand the critical need for a 'polio pause' in the war-torn region.

Hamas CELEBRATES BRICS Statement SLAMMING Israel’s ‘GENOCIDAL’ WAR in Gaza | Backs Ceasefire Call

Hamas welcomed the BRICS summit statement demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and full Israeli withdrawal. The BRICS communiquĂ© accused Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war and condemned its ongoing military siege. With over 57,400 Palestinians killed, BRICS backed Palestinian statehood with East Jerusalem as its capital. Hamas urged BRICS nations-including China, Russia, and South Africa-to intensify global pressure on Israel’s blockade and occupation. The group also reaffirmed support for UNRWA and denounced aid politicization in Gaza. #GazaUnderSiege #BRICSSummit #FreePalestine #StopTheWar #GazaCeasefire #HamasStatement #EndTheOccupation #PalestinianRights #IsraelWarCrimes #GazaBlockade #StarvationAsWeapon #UNRWA #BRICSForPalestine #GazaCrisis #EastJerusalem #GazaDeathToll #HumanitarianDisaster #BRICS2025 #GazaResistance #WarOnCivilians #PalestineWillBeFree #MiddleEastCrisis #InternationalPressure #GlobalSolidarity #JusticeForGaza #CeasefireNow #BRICSDiplomacy Also Read BRICS Leaders Push For India And Brazil's Inclusion As Permanent Members Of UN Security Council :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/brics-leaders-push-for-india-and-brazils-inclusion-as-permanent-members-of-un-security-council-7794021.html?ref=DMDesc There Should Be No Hesitation In Imposing Sanctions Against Terrorists: PM Modi At BRICS :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/there-should-be-no-hesitation-in-imposing-sanctions-against-terrorists-pm-modi-at-brics-7793415.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~

Moment Israel Hijacked Gaza-Bound Aid Ship Handala | Activists Shout—'Bella Ciao' | Full Video Out

In a dramatic escalation, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded the Gaza-bound civilian aid ship Handala in international waters, cutting live video feeds mid-broadcast. The vessel, carrying unarmed activists, medics, and parliamentarians from 12 countries, was part of the Freedom Flotilla mission aimed at breaking Israel’s blockade on Gaza. Moments before the hijacking, passengers sat peacefully on deck, raising their hands and singing the anti-fascist anthem Bella Ciao. All communication was lost shortly after. Human rights groups have condemned the operation as a violation of international law. This marks the third Israeli interception of a humanitarian mission this year. #HandalaHijack #GazaAidShip #IsraelGazaConflict #FreedomFlotilla #BellaCiao #BreakingGazaSiege #InternationalWatersRaid #GazaBlockade #HumanitarianCrisis #IDFInterception

Yemen’s Houthi forces fired a hypersonic Palestine-2 missile at Israel’s technology hub in Be’er Sheva, targeting the nation’s commercial and tech center. Spokesman Yahya Saree claimed the strike achieved its objectives, warning of further escalations if Israel continues its war on Gaza. Houthi drones also hit Eilat, Ashkelon, and Hadera, spanning Israel’s south, west, and north. With over 59,500 Palestinians killed in Gaza, Houthis have intensified multi-front attacks and blockades. Israel has responded with airstrikes on Houthi-controlled ports, fueling a rapidly expanding regional conflict. #HouthiAttack #Israel #Beersheva #IronDome #HypersonicMissile #YahyaSaree #GazaWar #MiddleEastConflict #TechHubUnderFire #DroneStrike #Eilat #Ashkelon #Hadera #RedSeaTensions #HouthiForces #Palestine2Missile #IDF #NavalBlockade #AerialBlockade #WarEscalation #RegionalConflict #GazaCrisis #YemenConflict #HouthisVsIsrael #IsraelDefense #MilitaryStrike #WorldTradeThreat #MiddleEastWar

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu [Video]

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition. #Russia #Palestine #Israel #France #Macron #UN #TwoStateSolution #MiddleEastConflict #Kremlin #PalestinianStatehood #GazaWar #Netanyahu #MarcoRubio #USIsraelTensions #UNRecognition #WorldNews #GlobalDiplomacy #EastJerusalem #WestBank #PalestineRecognition

The march was not just symbolic—it was loud, emotionally charged, and deeply rooted in Yemen's growing resistance culture. With children, elders, and women all participating, the demonstration highlighted the collective pain and outrage felt in Yemen over the siege of Gaza. Many carried posters of Palestinian martyrs and called for international action. As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens, Yemen’s streets have become a weekly battleground of voices demanding justice.

Surgeon warns of ‘deliberate’ child shootings in Gaza

A British doctor returning from Gaza says children are being deliberately targeted with gunshots in specific patterns - head wounds one day, chest or abdomen the next. Professor Nick Maynard, who worked with local medics, said that it is "inconceivable" that the injuries witnessed by himself could be "anything other than direct targeting of these children."

Hamas BLAMES Trump & Netanyahu for Sabotaging Gaza Ceasefire |Trump LIED to Send U.S Troops In Gaza?

Another Gaza ceasefire deal has crumbled, with Hamas accusing former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of undermining peace efforts. Hamas officials claim they were never informed of the U.S.-Israel decision to abandon indirect talks. Trump blamed Hamas for “acting in bad faith,” hinting at possible U.S. military action in Gaza. As rockets rain on Israel and IDF strikes continue, families of hostages and thousands of Palestinians lose hope for an end to the conflict. Netanyahu echoed Trump, vowing “alternative options” with U.S. backing. #TrumpVsHamas #HamasVsIsrael #GazaCeasefire #AbuObeida #AlQassem #USArmyGaza #TrumpOnHamas #FinishTheJob #GazaNegotiations #GazaHostages #IsraelHamasWar #CeasefireTalks #HumanitarianCrisis #StandWithIsrael #StandWithGaza #TrumpStance #HamasRefusal #WarInGaza #MiddleEastConflict #HostageNegotiations #USPolicy #GazaRelief #TrumpSpeaks #IsraelDefense #HamasLeaders ~HT.410~

Macron Recognizes Palestinian State, Enrages US, Israel |France Accused of Backing Hamas 'Terrorism'

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine in September, sparking fierce backlash from both Israel and the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move as “reckless,” while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called it “shameful” and accused France of rewarding terrorism. As Macron defends the decision as a step toward peace and an end to the Gaza war, critics argue it signals growing Western support for Palestine and Hamas. Is France challenging U.S.-Israeli dominance in Middle East policy? And will this shift trigger more European nations to follow? The announcement comes amid international outrage over Israel's military campaign in Gaza and a growing death toll. With nearly three-quarters of UN members now backing Palestinian statehood, global pressure on Israel continues to mount. #Macron #FrancePalestine #IsraelPalestine #GazaWar #Hamas #MiddleEastConflict #UNRecognition #TwoStateSolution #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #Netanyahu #USIsrael #PalestineStatehood #EmmanuelMacron ~HT.318~PR.274~ED.346~GR.125~

BREAKING: Trump’s Ceasefire FLOPS As Thai-Cambodia War Escalates | 33 Dead, 170K Evacuated

Fierce clashes erupted again between Thailand and Cambodia near the disputed Ta Kwai temple, marking the deadliest border conflict in over a decade. At least 33 people have died, including civilians, just hours after Thailand claimed a ceasefire had been “agreed in principle.” Trump, attempting to play peacemaker, said on Truth Social he spoke with Cambodian PM Hun Manet and planned to call Thailand’s acting leader. However, violence surged again—casting doubt on his claims. Mass evacuations have followed: over 131,000 displaced in Thailand and 37,600 in Cambodia. The UN has expressed deep concern and offered to mediate. The roots of the clash lie in decades-old disputes over temple territories. Reports suggest both sides may have used banned cluster munitions. The crisis has drawn global attention and sparked fears of full-scale war in Southeast Asia. #ThailandCambodiaConflict #BorderWar #TrumpCeasefireFail #TempleBattle #AsianConflict #BreakingNews #CambodiaClashes #ThailandArmy #UNPeaceCall #WarTensions #SurinClashes #TaKwaiTemple #ClusterBombs #DisputedTerritory #EvacuationAlert #MilitaryTensions #TrumpInAsia #SoutheastAsiaCrisis #TempleDispute #CeasefireCollapse

US Vs China: ‘Stop Fueling Russia's War
’ US Blasts China | China Fires Back With Explosive Rebuke

Tensions exploded at the United Nations as the U.S. directly accused China of helping Russia prolong its war in Ukraine. In a fiery address, acting U.S. Ambassador Dorothy Shea demanded Beijing halt all dual-use exports fueling Moscow’s deadly missile and drone strikes. Shea exposed the recurring use of Chinese-made components in Russian weapons despite China’s public denials. Beijing hit back with fury. Chinese deputy U.N. envoy Geng Shuang dismissed the claims, asserting China is not a party to the conflict and has implemented strict export controls. But mounting evidence, including covert Chinese drone engine exports and reports quoting Chinese officials admitting they “cannot afford for Russia to lose,” suggests otherwise. As China and Russia’s wartime partnership deepens, Zelensky has raised the alarm and Putin prepares to visit Beijing in September.
