“Cutting off aid is one of the main levers of pressure on Hamas, and returning it before Hamas gets on its knees and releases all of our hostages would be a historic mistake,” Itamar Ben-Gvir, the far-right national security minister, said on social media. (…)

Sudan on Tuesday marked two years of a war that has killed tens of thousands, displaced 13 million, and triggered the world’s worst humanitarian crisis — with no sign of peace. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective, FRANCE 24's Kethevane Gorjestani welcomes Alyona Synenko, Regional Spokesperson for Africa at the International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC. She says: “The way this conflict has been conducted by the two parties is not respectful and does not comply with the norms of international humanitarian law. This is why we are seeing devastating humanitarian consequences, with hundreds of thousands killed and millions of people displaced.#Africa #Sudan #civilwar #war #humanrights #humanitarianaid
