US Halts Funding for South Africa HIV Programmes

Israeli forces launched air, drone and artillery attacks on southern Lebanon, killing at least 11 people in several towns, including Nabatieh, less than a day after a new ceasefire with Hezbollah was announced.  Israel claims the strikes targeted Hezbollah “terrorist” sites in response to rocket attacks that sparked a broader Iran‑led conflict.  Washington has cautioned that continued fighting could derail its recently mediated peace deal with Iran, which relies on de‑escalation in Lebanon.  Senior Hezbollah officials assert their right to retaliate, while Israeli Premier Netanyahu faces domestic pressure to pressure Hezbollah back.

A six‑year‑old girl and her mother were recovered after armed men seized them from a hospital in Butembo, bringing them to an Ebola treatment centre 18 kilometres away where they are stable and “doing well.” The rescue follows a series of violent clashes with health facilities that have made the fight against the virus harder. The current outbreak, driven by the rare Bundibugyo strain, has confirmed more than 890 cases and 230 deaths, with the WHO and Africa CDC pledging millions to combat it. While authorities boost surveillance and contact tracing, conflict and mistrust threaten effective response.
