Health workers in Gaza are facing severe hardships, working 24-hour shifts while receiving only one insufficient meal per day, according to Dr. Deirdre Noonan, a Canadian orthopedic surgeon volunteering in Khan Yunis. The basic meals lack adequate nutrition and calories needed for demanding work. Many staff start their shifts having eaten nothing but water. Gaza’s health system is overwhelmed by shortages of medicine, food, fuel, and security, with no visible improvement despite international calls for humanitarian aid.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticized New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s campaign proposals as “foolish and pointless.” Netanyahu questioned Mamdani’s plan to reallocate police budgets and impose higher taxes on the wealthy, warning these could destabilize the city’s economy. He argued that Mamdani would not last a full term if such policies were implemented. Mamdani previously labeled Israeli airstrikes in Gaza as “genocide,” a stance that has drawn significant attention. With New York City home to a large Jewish population, Netanyahu’s comments are likely aimed at influencing conservative Jewish voters.

BNP leader Lutfozzaman Babar is set to travel to China on Wednesday for medical treatment. Close sources report that Babar is suffering from multiple health complications resulting from his 17 years in prison. He chose China over Europe or Singapore to minimize treatment costs. His treatment, focusing on boosting immunity and addressing other health issues, is expected to last around two weeks. He is scheduled to return on August 5. Arrested in 2007, Babar was sentenced to death in several cases under both the caretaker government and the Awami League. However, he was acquitted of all charges following the fall of the previous government last year.

The United States has announced its decision to withdraw from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The U.S. government has accused UNESCO of being “anti-Israel,” “politically biased,” and overly reliant on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Washington also criticized the organization’s recognition of Palestine as a member state, stating it contradicts U.S. foreign policy. While the Trump administration had previously pulled out of UNESCO, the U.S. rejoined during the Biden era. The current decision, officials say, is driven by concerns over UNESCO's political stance.

Maherin Chowdhury, Coordinator at Milestone School, tragically died in the Uttara fighter jet crash. Despite being severely burned by the explosion, she fought to save her students until the end. Rushed to the burn unit with nearly 100% burns, she succumbed to her injuries. Maherin’s heroic act stands as a testament to the courage, dedication, and compassion of educators. She is survived by two school-aged children—one in Class 9 (age 14) and the other preparing for O-Levels (age 15/16). Her death raises a critical question: why was a malfunctioning fighter jet flying over a densely populated area?
