Gaza Crisis Deepens as Israeli Strikes Kill 60 Amid Aid Shortages

  Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 60 people across Gaza, intensifying the humanitarian crisis in the region. The strikes targeted residential areas, including a family home and a school-turned-shelter, leading to significant civilian casualties.  Despite mounting international pressure, Israel has allowed only minimal aid into Gaza, far below the necessary levels to address the growing humanitarian needs.

China Engages WHO Amid Rising HMPV Cases




The Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed on Friday that it has been in close communication with the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding the recent surge in human metapneumovirus (HMPV) cases. The Chinese government emphasized its commitment to public health, both for its citizens and foreign nationals within the country.

HMPV, a respiratory virus that has been circulating in humans for over 60 years, typically causes symptoms similar to the common cold or flu. According to the latest report from China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), HMPV cases remain high, aligning with trends observed in other parts of the northern hemisphere.

Despite the rise in cases, the Chinese government reassured the public that HMPV is not a new or unknown virus. "It is alarmist to exaggerate common viruses as unknown viruses, which goes against scientific common sense," stated Guo Jiakun, a foreign ministry spokesperson.

The WHO has also been in contact with Chinese health officials and has not received any reports of unusual outbreak patterns. Both organizations continue to monitor the situation closely, ensuring that appropriate measures are in place to manage the spread of respiratory diseases.
