More Palestinians killed 

More Palestinians fall victim to the Israeli air and artillery strikes pounding civilian areas across the besieged Gaza strip. In central Gaza, Israel’s artillery shelling hit the Nuseirat refugee camp, killing and wounding several Palestinians. In the North, airstrikes targeted the vicinity of a school where refugees had taken shelter in Beit lahia, resulting in a number of casualties. At least six people were also killed in an Israeli shelling of the Sheikh Zayed Towers area. Local sources say the Palestinians had gathered there to get internet signal when the attack hit them. According to the Palestinian health ministry, 42 civilians have been killed across Gaza in the 24 hours. The total Palestinian death toll has surpassed 40,860. Some 94,400 others have been injured. 

Israel West Bank offensive 

Israeli forces continue their deadly attacks across the occupied West Bank for the eight day in a row. In the latest attacks, three Palestinians were killed and several others injured in Tulkarm and a town near Jenin. The deaths bring to 34 the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since the regime launched its large-scale military operations last week. More than 180 Palestinians have also been arrested during the same period. Nearly 700 Palestinians have so far been killed by Israeli troops in the West Bank since October 7. Also, Israeli forces have arrested five more Palestinians during raids on the cities of Nablus and Bethlehem. According to media reports, an Israeli soldier was killed during the regime’s offensive in Jenin. Regime forces have been raiding major cities by deploying armored vehicles, bulldozers and snipers backed by drones and warplanes.

"UK govt. failure" 

A UK report discloses that the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire which killed 72 was the result of government failure, incompetence, dishonesty and greed. The damning final report stated that the main contributors to the death toll were the failure of successive governments, indifference to safety by authorities, and a lack of strategy by firefighters. It also accuses building material firms of systematic dishonesty and the deliberate engagement to manipulate testing processes and mislead the market. The fire which spread rapidly through the 24-storey block in west London is said to have been Britain’s worst residential fire since World War Two. Grenfell United, which represents survivors and victims, has called on the government to act urgently and hold those responsible to account.
