⭕️ Some 35,000 people in the Gaza Strip are now living with war-related hearing loss caused largely by explosive blasts and shockwaves from bombardment, according to Le Monde, citing local health and rights groups. Children, adults, and the elderly face permanent disability, with the crisis compounded by a severe shortage of hearing aids, cochlear implants, batteries, and other assistive devices. These supplies have been blocked from entering Gaza for months due to Israel’s longstanding restrictions and ongoing blockade, leaving survivors without treatment despite the ceasefire.

Somalia’s representative at the United Nations had a history lesson to share with Israel’s envoy today. “To come to this place, and lecture us [on] humanity & genocide & human rights & independence & democracy. And we know what you’re doing on a daily basis. It’s just an insult.”
🇵🇰 Pakistan’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar said Islamabad is prepared to join an international peacekeeping force in Gaza, but stressed that the role would not include disarming Hamas. “Muslims are not going to Gaza to fight Muslims.” Speaking Saturday in Islamabad, Dar said Pakistan’s civilian and military leadership is clear on the issue: “We will not go to Gaza to disarm Hamas, but only to strengthen peace.” Separately, he accused Israel of repeatedly violating the Gaza ceasefire signed in Sharm el-Sheikh last October and said Pakistan “condemns and rejects these breaches.” Dar also said Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan was only partially implemented, noting that its 20 points were never fully realized. Palestinian officials note Israel has committed 800+ ceasefire violations since Oct. 10, killing 415+ people and wounding close to 1,150.
