Funeral services have been held for the six people killed in an Israeli strike targeting Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital Doha, as Arab leaders continue to visit the Gulf nation to express solidarity. One coffin bearing a Qatari flag and five others bearing Palestinian flags were brought to Doha's Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque, live footage from Qatar television showed on Thursday.
Abeer Etefa, a spokesperson for the World Food Program, told The Associated Press that security forces raided the agencies' offices in the Houthi-controlled capital Sunday morning. 'WFP reiterates that the arbitrary detention of humanitarian staff is unacceptable,' Etefa said. Also raided were UNICEF offices, according to a U.N. official and a Houthi official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to brief the media.
Mariam Abu Dagga, a Palestinian journalist whose photos for the Associated Press and other news outlets captured destruction and misery in Gaza, died in an Israeli strike on Gaza's Nasser Hospital on Monday, along with at least 20 other people, including four other journalists, witnesses at the scene and the Gaza Health Ministry said.
Gaza's Health Ministry said at least eight people were killed in an Israeli strike on the Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis. Journalists were reported to be among those killed, including those who had worked for Al Jazeera broadcaster and Reuters news agency. Al Jazeera later reported, citing the Gaza government's media office, that 14 people were killed in the strike in Khan Younis, including four journalists.
