ICRC ‘outraged’ after Gaza premises damaged by explosive
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has said it was “outraged” that its premises in Gaza were damaged by an explosive on Wednesday.

“This is the second such incident in three weeks,” the organisation said on X, adding that a second location was struck by a tank shell on March 24.

ICRC did not disclose where its facilities were located.

“Both incidents occurred despite the buildings being clearly marked and regularly notified to all parties,” it said. “We condemn in the strongest terms any action that inhibits our ability to do our work and risks the lives of humanitarian workers.”Lifesaving services in Gaza ‘on the brink of total collapse’: UN
Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN chief, said “humanitarian supplies are nearing total depletion” after Israel stopped entry of cargo, including humanitarian aid, into Gaza on March 2.

“The lifesaving services are on the brink of a total collapse,” Dujarric said. “For example, in Gaza City, only three ambulances for the Palestinian Red Crescent Society out of 30 are currently operational, and that’s due to the lack of fuel to operate those ambulances.”

He added that ongoing hostilities and dwindling aid supplies have “driven up the stress levels”.

“Especially among children with mental health needs, [needs are] growing by the day,” he said.Israeli forces target residential buildings in southern Gaza

South Africa has condemned the bombing of civilian targets in Gaza by Israel, following a missile strike last week on al-Ahli Hospital.

“Attacks on health facilities, medical personnel and patients are considered a war crime under the IV Geneva Convention of 1949,” the Foreign Ministry said.

It pointed out that the killing of 15 Palestinian health and civil defence workers in Gaza last month “are prohibited by international law and constitute war crimes”.

“First responders like civilians and other non-combatants are never legitimate targets,” it added.Timeline: Recent US attacks on Yemen
In January, the US paused its bombing campaign when the Houthi rebels stopped their Red Sea attacks amid a ceasefire in Gaza.

However, US strikes resumed under President Trump in March as the Yemeni group threatened to renew its military operations if Israel did not lift its nearly seven-week blockade of Gaza.

Here is a timeline of recent US attacks across Yemen:

March 15 – US strikes killed at least 32 people, including five children in Sanaa, as well as areas in Saada and al-Bayda.
March 24 – Air raids in the Sanaa killed one and injure 13.
April 1 – Fifteen raids on the northern province of Saada, including the city of Saada and the districts of Majz and Sahar. Areas near Sanaa also targeted.
April 6 – Four people killed in Sanaa.
April 13 – Six people killed, a dozen wounded after Sanaa province targeted.
April 16 – US forces launch 18 strikes killing at least one person.
