U.S. Officials Say Iran’s New Supreme Leader Gravely Wounded Amid Escalating Conflict

Protesters hold posters of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his son, Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, during a protest marking al-Quds Day (Jerusalem Day), after Friday prayers at Fatih Mosque in Istanbul.

Gaza’s Desperate Struggle: Families Scavenge for Food Amid Famine

In the heart of Gaza, where war and blockade have pushed millions to the brink of starvation, families are now forced to search through garbage for scraps of food. The humanitarian crisis has deepened, with aid barely trickling in and agricultural land rendered unusable. 

Islam Abu Taeima, a mother of five, spends her days rummaging through piles of trash, hoping to find anything edible. “We’re dying of hunger,” she says, as she collects discarded bread and rice to boil for her children. Once rare, scenes of people searching through garbage for food have become a grim reality in Gaza, where famine warnings have intensified. 

The blockade, imposed since March, has cut off essential supplies, leaving over half a million people facing catastrophic hunger. Aid organizations warn that the limited food entering Gaza is insufficient to meet the growing needs. Meanwhile, agricultural infrastructure has been devastated, with nearly all farmland and wells destroyed. 

As desperation mounts, families like Abu Taeima’s continue their daily struggle for survival, hoping for international intervention before it’s too late.
