Xenophobia is quietly making its way back to South Africa.
Up to 18,000 people per day, including shoppers and daily workers, pass through the official Betbridge crossing point between Zimbabwe and South Africa...but now there is a new headache: since the South African government initiated a crackdown, many Zimbabweans are opting for the perilous Limpopo river crossing, where they encounter smugglers and thieves as well.
War in Gaza: Relief workers were slain while delivering food to those "on the verge of starvation."
An Israeli airstrike has killed six foreign relief workers and a Palestinian driver. The American humanitarian organization World Central Kitchen (WCK) declared on Tuesday that one of its employees had been killed in an Israeli military "targeted attack." Palestine, Australia, Poland, the United Kingdom, and a citizen of the United States and Canada were among the deceased. As WCK's employees were transporting food from their most recent shipment to Gaza—where Israel's offensive has driven hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to the verge of starvation—they were attacked. In the central town of Deir el-Balah, there was footage of the dead at a hospital. A few of them had on safety gear bearing the charity's emblem. UNICEF spokeswoman Tess Ingram said that following the deaths of seven relief workers in an Israeli airstrike, safety concerns for humanitarian workers are once again a priority. We're all very concerned about it. We recently held a meeting to discuss it here," she said. This tragic event brings the total number of individuals killed in the war to almost 30,000, including 174 UN colleagues. Thus, we are having a dismal day here. According to Ingram, peacekeeping forces and humanitarian organizations have mechanisms in place for collaboration to prevent attacks like this one. Here in the Gaza Strip, that isn't working. We've been letting people know for some time now that it's not working and that we're not receiving the necessary security assurances. The fact that these folks died while merely attempting to bring food to those who were about to go hungry makes the situation even worse. It is an inconceivable loss.
EU task group wants to increase naval presence in the Red Sea to enhance security.
Due to piracy and the threat of Houthi missiles, maritime security is becoming a more pressing worldwide issue. Ships are bolstered by nations to protect commerce routes and quell illicit activity. To prevent rockets from reaching their target and guarantee safe passage through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, advanced warships, such as the Italian frigate Mare Federico Martinengo, joined EU task forces. Continual presence and diverse skills are emphasized as the mission evolves from anti-piracy efforts to counter Houthi threats.

Israel seizes vital Gaza border crossing and commences attack on Rafah.
Israeli forces have seized control of Gaza's Rafah border crossing, cutting off a key route for humanitarian aid and a possible haven for civilians fleeing a construction attack. The Israeli military announced on Tuesday that it had taken "operational control" of the Gaza side of the border crossing that connects the embattled territory to Egypt. The blocking of the critical route and the placement of tanks in the heart of Rafah are seen as demonstrations of Israel's intention to continue its assault on the southern city despite ongoing truce talks.

US urges a brief ceasefire in Gaza; Israel is warned against the Rafah offensive by the EU and US
A draft UNSC resolution on Israel's assault in Gaza was vetoed by the US, drawing strong criticism from both allies and adversaries. This is the US's third veto of a UNSC resolution calling for an end to hostilities in Gaza. Rather, Washington is proposing a resolution of its own that would bolster a short-term truce contingent on the release of all Israeli prisoners.
