Cargo Ship Collision at Jiujiang Bridge: 4 Missing

A cargo ship carrying 4,900 tons of steel from China’s Fujian province collided with the Jiujiang Bridge in Foshan city, Guangdong province, causing it to sink. The ship, with 11 crew members, began taking on water after the crash and sank later. Seven crew members were rescued, while four remained missing, prompting a large-scale search and rescue operation involving 32 ships and over 400 personnel.

Initial assessments indicate no major damage to the bridge structure. Authorities are investigating the incident, possibly linking it to rising water levels in the region following fatal flooding that claimed four lives in Guangdong province.

UN Security Council Holds Emergency Meeting Over Gaza

0

 

The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting following Israel’s decision to expand its military operations in Gaza, sparking international condemnation. China expressed serious concern over Israel’s plan to seize Gaza, while Russia, France, and several other nations criticized the violation of international law and called for an immediate ceasefire.

UN officials warned that Israel’s actions would deepen the humanitarian crisis, with over 61,000 dead, including 18,000 children, and severe malnutrition worsening the situation. The US, while supporting Israel’s right to self-defense, urged a diplomatic solution and the release of hostages. Palestinian representatives reaffirmed Gaza as part of Palestine, calling for an end to the Israeli occupation and a two-state solution.

Global calls for peace and humanitarian aid intensified, with countries like South Korea and Somalia pushing for a permanent ceasefire, while others, including Algeria and Pakistan, accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.
