Gaza, Libya, Bangladesh

Today's three stories you should know.

Gaza

You’ve likely already heard this news, but as when the entire Al Jazeera crew was killed in Gaza City, I think it would be remiss of me not to lead with it. Israel today killed another five journalists and a team of rescue workers in a “double-tap” strike. At the time of writing, reports said 20 people were killed in total but that number may rise. In an initial strike on the Nasser Hospital in the city of Khan Younis, Israel killed Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri who was filming from the roof. When rescue workers and other journalists arrived at the scene, Israel directly targeted them with a second strike, which was captured live on television. It’s worth noting that al-Masri was operating a live feed for Reuters when he was killed. That’s what another Reuters cameraman, Issam Abdallah, was doing when he was targeted and killed by Israel in Lebanon in the early days of the conflict. The names of the five journalists killed are: Hussam al-Masri, Mohammed Salama, Mariam Abu Dagga, Mouath Abu Taha and Ahmed Abu Aziz.

Libya

Three Sudanese sisters drowned in the Mediterranean when a rubber dinghy they were traveling in was repeatedly washed over by massive waves, a German charity said. They were nine, 11 and 17. Rescue workers from the charity, RESQSHIP, saved about 65 people from the boat, including the girls’ mother and brother. The bodies of the girls were found in the bottom of the vessel. The boat had departed Libya a few hours earlier, RESQSHIP said, and started taking on large amounts of water. Libya is a major departure point for people trying to reach Europe, many of them fleeing war zones such as Sudan. More than 700 have drowned crossing the Mediterranean from North Africa this year, according to the U.N.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh has become unable to provide for 1.3 million refugees from neighboring Myanmar, the country’s leader Muhammad Yunus said, asking for help from the international community to solve the crisis. The refugees, from the Rohingya ethnic group, fled Myanmar in 2017 during a military crackdown called a genocide by U.N. investigators and several nations. "We don't foresee any scope whatsoever for further mobilization of resources from domestic sources, given our numerous challenges," Yunus said. The Rohingya community mostly lives in small bamboo shelters in refugee camps with dwindling aid supplies.
