Gaza’s Humanitarian Crisis Deepens as Children Face Acute Starvation

Gaza’s children are on the brink of a catastrophic famine, with United Nations agencies warning that specialized therapeutic foods will run out by mid-August unless urgent action is taken. UNICEF says its stock of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) can no longer treat more than 3,000 of the thousands suffering from acute malnutrition, after treating 5,000 in the first half of July alone.

WHO and Save the Children echo the alarm, noting that prevention programmes for pregnant women and young children risk shutting down as nutritional supplements vanish. The Gaza Health Ministry reports at least 113 starvation deaths this year, including 21 children under five, underscoring the deadly consequences of tightened Israeli controls on aid deliveries.

Macron’s Plan to Recognize Palestine at UN Sparks US and Israeli Backlash

France will become the first G7 country to recognize Palestine as a state at the United Nations General Assembly in September, President Emmanuel Macron announced, aiming to breathe new life into the stalled peace process. Israel immediately condemned the move, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warning that such recognition “rewards terror and risks creating another proxy,” while the United States cautioned it could undermine direct negotiations.

Despite pressure from allies, Macron insists the decision is a necessary step toward a lasting two-state solution, reflecting growing frustration in Europe over the humanitarian and diplomatic deadlock in Gaza and the West Bank.

Ukraine Secures Three Patriot Systems, Pursues Funding for Seven More

Kyiv has confirmed delivery of three Patriot air-defence systems and is racing to secure financing for seven more as Russia intensifies missile strikes.

Germany will pay for two batteries, Norway for one, and discussions are underway with the Netherlands and other allies.

Ukraine aims to field ten Patriots under a U.S. package announced by President Trump, each costing over $1 billion.

Facing a $40 billion budget shortfall next year and another $25 billion for drones, missiles and EW production, Kyiv warns funding is now the bottleneck.

Thai-Cambodian Border Clash Displaces Over 140,000 Civilians

More than 140,000 civilians have fled their homes as intense fighting between Thai and Cambodian forces enters its third day along a disputed 800-kilometer frontier. Clashes erupted after a landmine wounded Thai soldiers and quickly escalated into exchanges of artillery, rockets and F-16 strikes.

• Provinces affected include Ubon Ratchathani, Si Sa Ket and Surin on the Thai side and Oddar Meanchey and Preah Vihear in Cambodia.

• At least 15 people—including children—have been killed and dozens injured.

Humanitarian shelters overflow, while ASEAN and the UN have appealed for calm and a return to dialogue to avert a broader regional crisis.

Iran and European Powers Restart Nuclear Talks Amid Sanctions Threats

European powers and Iran convened Friday in Istanbul for the first formal nuclear negotiations since June’s 12-day conflict with Israel and U.S. strikes on Iranian sites. The U.K., France and Germany—known as the E3—are seeking to defuse tensions before an Aug. 29 deadline that could automatically reinstate U.N. sanctions under the 2015 nuclear deal’s “snapback” mechanism.

Washington remains on the sidelines, having withdrawn from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in 2018, while Tehran has suspended IAEA cooperation and insists on its right to enrich uranium. With President Trump threatening renewed strikes, the talks will test whether a compromise timetable or an extension of the snapback window can buy time for broader diplomacy.
