UN chief calls Gaza a 'killing field', condemns Israel for aid blockade UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has condemned the suffering caused by Israeli war in Gaza, calling it “a killing field” and holding Tel Aviv responsible for blocking humanitarian aid and neglecting its obligations under international law. Speaking to journalists, Guterres stressed that no aid—food, fuel, medicine, or supplies—has entered Gaza for over a month, warning that the ""floodgates of horror have re-opened."" He cited the Geneva Conventions, emphasizing Israel’s duty as an occupying power to provide for the civilian population, which he said is not being fulfilled. Gaza is now Hiroshima: Israeli soldiers describe their horrendous crimes Israeli soldiers have given detailed testimonies revealing widespread destruction and killings in Gaza as part of efforts to establish a so-called buffer zone, according to a new report by the Israeli group Breaking the Silence. The report compiles firsthand accounts from soldiers involved in the invasion, describing the razing of large areas inside Gaza. The group stated that the deliberate devastation was aimed at paving the way for future Israeli control of the territory. Punitive US tariffs on China to hit 104 percent: White House The US will impose a 104 percent tariff on Chinese goods starting on Wednesday, the White House announced. Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt confirmed the move, stating the tariffs will take effect at midnight. Leavitt said President Trump believes China ""has to make a deal"" and criticised Beijing’s retaliation as a mistake. She added that Trump would be “incredibly gracious” if China engages, but emphasised he will act in the best interest of the American people. Over 100 killed in RSF attacks near Khartoum: Sudanese medics More than 100 people, including women and children, were killed in attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Omdurman, the twin city of Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, according to Sudanese medics. The Sudan Doctors Network reported that the deaths occurred over the past week in the Jama’iya region, south of Omdurman, as violence continues to escalate in the conflict-hit country. Trump admin freezes funding for Cornell, Northwestern University The Trump administration has frozen over $1 billion in funding for Cornell University and $790 million for Northwestern University amid investigations into alleged civil rights violations, a US official said. The paused funding includes grants and contracts from federal departments such as health, education, agriculture, and defence. The move follows the administration’s threats to cut funds over pro-Palestine campus protests.
