The Latest | After a review, Germany will continue to collaborate with the UN organization providing aid to Palestinians.

Following the release of an independent assessment of its neutrality, Germany said on Wednesday that it will be returning to work with the United Nations relief organization for Palestinians in Gaza, joining a number of other nations in doing so. The head of the Arab League praised the report, claiming it demonstrated that Israel's accusations were unfounded and that they were a part of a "systematic campaign" to terminate the agency's mandate. "Regrettable and disappointing" was the Israeli Foreign Ministry's description of Germany's decision. Israel asserts that the report downplayed the issue and maintains that hundreds of UNRWA employees are members of terrorist Palestinian organizations. The United States and over a dozen other nations stopped contributing to UNRWA as a result o...

Nearly 10,000 died from COVID-19 last month, fueled by holiday gatherings and new variant, WHO says

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the World Health Organization's (WHO) director general, said on Wednesday that the global expansion of the most common type of COVID-19 and holiday get-togethers were to blame for the rise in COVID-19 transmission last month. He stated that there were around 10,000 deaths in December, along with a 42% increase in hospital admissions across almost 50 nations, mostly in the Americas and Europe. Tedros stressed that even while the current death rate is lower than the pandemic's peak, it is still unacceptable while speaking from the WHO headquarters in Geneva. He recognized the emergence of the JN.1 variety, an omicron form for which current vaccinations should still provide some protection, and asked governments to continue surveillance as well as to guarantee...
