Typhoon Hinnamnor, approaching Japan’s Okinawa Island, caused heavy winds and rain in the region. The atmospheric pressure caused by the typhoon brought heavy rains and winds to many parts of Okinawa, while the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) announced that the typhoon was moving southwest at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour over 250 kilometers south of Miyakojima Island today. Hearing that the typhoon’s effects would worsen starting tonight, residents emptied the market shelves in preparation for being stranded at home. Local authorities urged residents to stay away from risky areas.
The UN Integrated Food Security Stage Classification (IPC) officially declared a famine in Gaza City and surrounding areas, warning that over 500,000 people face “catastrophic” conditions. Another 1.7 million are in emergency levels, with nearly all agriculture destroyed and food access critically restricted since March.
UN officials said the famine is “entirely man-made” and blamed Israel’s obstruction of aid deliveries. Human rights chief Volker Türk warned that deaths from starvation may constitute war crimes. Israel rejected the report, calling it based on “Hamas’s lies.”
