Ongoing conflicts between Israel and Palestine have caused extensive destruction in residential areas in Gaza. More than a thousand homes were destroyed, and over 12,600 were severely damaged according to United Nations data. The number of displaced Palestinians increased by 30 percent within 24 hours, reaching 338,934 people, with most finding temporary shelter in UNRWA schools. Israel’s actions, including cutting off electricity, water, and supplies, have left over 650,000 people in Gaza facing a water shortage. The situation has been labeled a war crime by human rights organizations. Hospitals and health centers in Gaza continue to operate, but they face challenges due to medical supply shortages and prolonged power outages. Some facilities have been rendered inoperative due to Israeli attacks.

Andriy Portnov, former aide to ex-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, was shot dead in Madrid’s upscale Pozuelo de Alarcon district. Spanish authorities say unidentified gunmen opened fire as the 52-year-old was dropping off his children at school, striking him in the back and head before fleeing.
Portnov, a former MP and lawyer, fled Ukraine with Yanukovych in 2014, briefly returned in 2019, and was later sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged judicial corruption.
