The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a resolution urging the United States to lift its long-standing economic embargo on Cuba. The resolution passed with 187 countries in favor, while the US and Israel opposed, and Moldova abstained. Established in response to Cuba’s 1960 nationalization of US companies and enforced fully since 1962, the embargo has been upheld by 13 successive US administrations, despite a 2000 adjustment allowing food and humanitarian aid. The embargo remains a major barrier to US-Cuba trade.

Thirty-eight of the bodies were reportedly identified by their families but the rest could not be unidentified and were taken to the Health Ministry’s Forensic Medicine Unit.
“We came to Shifa Hospital escaping Israeli airstrikes. During the hospital siege, an Israeli sniper killed my 29-year-old son Mazen Abu Aita. The Israeli army took us out of the hospital and I do not know where my son’s body is. Some family members told me he was buried in a mass grave, but I do not know where he is,” said a woman named Muna Abu Aita, urging authorities to help seeking for his son.
There were a total of 160 bodies buried in the hospital garden and the process of moving them would take several days, said the Palestinian Civil Defense.
