Ukraine is confronting one of its most severe energy shortfalls since the start of the full‑scale invasion, with the country currently able to supply only about 60% of its electricity needs.

Tragedy in Gaza: UN Reports Mass Killing of Medics

 

The United Nations has reported a devastating incident in southern Gaza, where 15 Palestinian medics and emergency responders were killed by Israeli troops and buried in a mass grave. The medics, including workers from the Palestinian Red Crescent and Gaza’s Civil Defense, were reportedly on a mission to rescue casualties when they were struck down. Their vehicles were clearly marked as humanitarian, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent, which has accused Israeli forces of targeting them "in cold blood."

The Israeli military has stated that its troops fired on vehicles that approached them "suspiciously" without identification. However, the UN and other humanitarian organizations have raised concerns about the targeting of medical personnel, calling it one of the deadliest attacks on aid workers in recent years.

This tragic event has drawn international condemnation and highlighted the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where medical and emergency teams often operate under life-threatening conditions. The incident underscores the urgent need for accountability and the protection of humanitarian workers in conflict zones.
