A six-day-old US pier project in Gaza is starting to get more aid to Palestinians in need but conditions are challenging, US officials said on Thursday. That reflects the larger problems bringing food and other supplies to starving people in the besieged territory. The floating pier had a troubled launch, with crowds overrunning some of the first trucks coming from the new US-led sea route and taking its contents over the weekend. One man in the crowd was shot dead in still-unexplained circumstances. It led to a two-day suspension of aid distribution. The US military worked with the UN and Isr...

Israeli officials seized a camera and broadcasting equipment belonging to The Associated Press in southern Israel on Tuesday. Officials accused the news organisation of violating the country’s new ban on Al Jazeera.

The AP denounced the move. “The Associated Press decries in the strongest terms the actions of the Israeli government to shut down our longstanding live feed showing a view into Gaza and seize AP equipment,” said Lauren Easton, vice president of corpora...

The EBRD, which is holding its annual meeting in Yerevan, Armenia, has published its new growth forecasts for the regions it covers and highlighted how sanctions on Russia have impacted its economy. "I think it was unrealistic to expect that sanctions against Russia would lead to a deep economic and financial crisis, as many had hoped," Beata Javorcik, chief economist of the EBRD, told AFP. Russia, which had economic growth of 3.6% last year, is expected to see its gross domestic product (GDP) grow by 2.5% this year, 1.5 percentage points higher than forecast in September, according to the EBR...

Gaza civil defence has said its teams are unable to access the camp since Israel ...

Smoke has been seen from southern Israel rising over Gaza's skyline as heavy fighting continues in the north of the Strip. A senior spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that the air force was carrying out airstrikes in the north of Gaza.

"Since the start of our precise operation against Hamas in Rafah we have eliminated dozens of terrorists, exposed underground terror tunnels and...

US President Joe Biden has warned Israel that Washington will stop supplying some weapons if it goes ahead with its long-threatened ground offensive in Rafah. It's the starkest warning yet from Israel's staunchest ally amid growing concerns for the displaced Palestinian civilians living in the south Gaza city. But Biden softened his warning with some words of reassurance, saying the US would "continue to make sure Israel is secure". On Wednesday, State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters Washington had already suspended a shipment containing thousands of bombs. "They have not...

A group of EU institution staffers marched in silence in Brussels on Wednesday to mourn the lives lost in Gaza and what they described as the “death” of European values. The civil servants, who defended their impartiality and the apolitical nature of the demonstration, say that the core values of human dignity, peace and the rule of law that they were hired to uphold are being violated in Gaza, and that the EU needs to act. The demonstrators also said that as a peace project, the EU has a responsibility to contribute more towards international efforts to bring peace back to war-torn Gaza. In a...
