Food Insecurity Crisis in Gaza, Sudan and Lebanon Deepens

  Food Insecurity Crisis in Gaza, Sudan and Lebanon Deepens as Humanitarian Suffering Escalates: The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) warns of a rapidly worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and Lebanon, where ongoing Israeli military operations have devastated civilian life. Continuous bombardment of residential areas has forced massive waves of displacement, pushing families to flee repeatedly in search of safety that remains out of reach. Across both Gaza and Lebanon, millions now lack the most basic necessities for survival. Food, clean water, medicine, and essential supplies have become scarce or unaffordable.

  Congressional deadline to end US-Iran war approaches with no end in sight Analysts and congressional aides have said they expect President Donald Trump to do one of two things when faced with tomorrow’s deadline to end the Iran war or make a case to Congress to extend it. They say the president will either disregard the date, arguing that the ceasefire marked the end of the conflict, or notify Congress of his plans for a 30-day extension.
