One person was killed and three others injured after the Israeli army targeted a civilian vehicle on Salah al-Din Street in the central Gaza Strip on Saturday, Anadolu reports.

The attack comes amid ongoing Israeli violations of a ceasefire in effect since Oct. 10, 2025.

These breaches have resulted in the deaths of 713 Palestinians and injuries to 1,940 others since the agreement took effect.

Israel launched its genocide in Gaza in October 2023 that lasted two years, killing more than 72,000 people and injuring over 172,000 while causing widespread destruction affecting around 90% of the territory’s infrastructure.

Israeli restrictions push Gaza medical supplies to critical shortage: Doctors Without Borders

Restrictions imposed by Israeli authorities on the entry of medical supplies into Gaza have led to critical shortages, severely impacting health care services, according to a statement released on Friday by Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Anadolu reports.

Dr. Randa Abu El-Khair Masoud, a medical adviser with MSF, said the organization has been unable to bring any medical supplies into Gaza since Jan. 1, despite significant humanitarian needs in the enclave.

“Every day, in our hospitals and clinics, we see the impacts of the restrictions on the entry of medical supplies into Gaza, Palestine. The needs in Gaza are massive, yet not enough aid is entering because Israeli authorities are blocking it,” Masoud said.

She warned that nearly 50% of essential medications for non-communicable diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and respiratory illnesses, are at critically low levels.

Due to the shortages, MSF has stopped admitting new patients to its non-communicable diseases programs, limiting treatment to existing patients only.

“This shortage in proper care will inevitably lead to preventable deaths among patients suffering from chronic diseases,” she said.

The organization is also facing a lack of basic medical supplies such as gauze and compresses, affecting wound care services, particularly for postoperative patients and burn victims.

During a previous blockade between August and Sept. 2025, MSF teams were forced to use non-sterile gauze sterilized in batches, a measure considered a last resort due to infection risks.

“Now, we are close to this point again,” she warned.

Medical equipment shortages are further straining health care services. Masoud said no new equipment or spare parts have entered Gaza this year, leading to frequent malfunctions.

“Our teams are working hard to continue providing care, but they are under immense strain,” she said, stressing that emergency measures cannot substitute for consistent access to medical supplies.

Nineham and Jamal found guilty in ‘dark day’ for civil liberties

People taking part in a national march for Palestine on Whitehall in central London, January 18, 2025

TWO pro-Palestine campaigners being found guilty of breaching protest conditions yesterday is “a huge setback for civil liberties,” supporters said.

Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) director Ben Jamal and Stop the War vice-chair Chris Nineham made clear they will be appealing the verdicts as they criticised the “absurdity” of the case.

Jeremy Corbyn called the verdicts “a dark day for civil liberties in this country.”

District judge Daniel Sternberg found both Mr Jamal and Mr Nineham guilty of failing to comply with conditions imposed on the January 18 2025 Whitehall protest.

Mr Jamal was in addition found guilty of inciting others to fail to comply following the trial at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

A key part of the defence was that the conditions imposed on the protest, which prevented a march to the BBC, were unlawful.

Defence barrister, Mark Summers KC, submitted a detailed legal argument outlining this case, including that the Court of Appeal had already ruled in a previous case that imposing conditions on the basis of “more than minor” disruption was unlawful.

But Mr Sternberg told the court he was not obliged to give any reasons for his decision, instead handing it down in a 54-page written judgment, with a short summary for the media.

He gave both men conditional discharges of 18 and 12 months respectively and ordered them each to pay £7,500 in costs.

Speaking outside the court, Mr Nineham said: “We think this is an extraordinary and shocking decision and a huge setback for civil liberties in this country.

“It is clearly part of an ongoing criminalisation of the Palestine movement in which people protesting against a genocide are being targeted by a British Establishment that is colluding with it.

“It is an attempt to send a chilling message across society that people shouldn’t risk protesting. It is an attempt that will not stop us.”

Mr Jamal said: “We will be appealing. We will be appealing because of concerns about how this trial has been conducted.

“The judge did not see fit to deliver his judgment in open court.

“I have always been of the view that in a court, justice must not only be done, it must be seen to be done.

ANTI-WAR protesters set up an international peace camp at RAF Lakenheath today amid evidence that US nuclear weapons have arrived at the base.

Organised by Lakenheath Alliance for Peace, of which CND is a member, the camp is protesting against US B61-12 nuclear bombs at the site.

The camp, which began with a 24-hour vigil, is also highlighting its role in facilitating Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the ongoing illegal attacks on Iran.

CND ad vans will tour around East Anglia, including at towns and villages near the base, to demand PM Sir Keir Starmer kick out US President Donald Trump’s nukes from Britain.

The camp is also calling on communities to join a major Give Peace a Chance demonstration and blockade at RAF Lakenheath from noon this Saturday.

CND general secretary Sophie Bolt said: “Over 60 per cent of the British population oppose the deployment of these US nuclear weapons in Britain.

“With the reckless leadership of Donald Trump, they put us on the front line of his devastating wars.

“Both RAF Lakenheath and nearby RAF Mildenhall have been heavily involved in the ongoing illegal attacks of Iran.

Met Police arrest 18 for Palestine Action support in policy U-turn

Spread the love

CAMPAIGNERS have condemned the Metropolitan Police’s U-turn on Palestine Action arrests after at least 18 protesters were held for defying the ban on Saturday.

They were nabbed in central London at a demonstration organised by Defend Our Juries (DOJ) in response to the Met’s shift in policy.

After the High Court ruled the ban to be unlawful in February, the London force, Britain’s largest, said it would not arrest people for showing support for Palestine Action, but last week the force said it had reversed its policy.

The Met said it would resume arresting protesters for holding signs in support of the direct action group until the government’s appeal to the High Court decision was heard.

DOJ had previously asked the force to clarify its policy regarding the direct action group after officers held a woman at the al-Quds Day protest for allegedly defying the ban, despite its own stated policy.

In response the activist group is organising a mass-participation event in London’s Trafalgar Square on Saturday April 11 to challenge the ban on Palestine Action and the government’s continued support of the genocide in Gaza.

…

The Met’s decision to resume arrests has also come under fire from leading law firm Hodge Jones & Allen LLP, which warned the force that any arrests would be unlawful.

Since the Home Office proscription of Palestine Action last year more than 2,700 people have been arrested.
