Ferry Link Between Cyprus, Lebanon Planned for 2025

Israel's military is reportedly demolishing what remains of Rafah in southern Gaza, intensifying fears among residents that the population will be confined to a large encampment on barren land. The destruction comes amid Israel's longest-ever total blockade of Gaza, which has left the enclave's 2.3 million people without food or medical supplies for nearly two months. Since the collapse of a recent ceasefire, Israel has resumed its ground campaign, seized significant territory, and ordered evacuations from 'buffer zones,' including all of Rafah. Reports suggest the military is establishing a so-called 'humanitarian zone' in Rafah for civilians, where aid would be distributed by private companies, but many Gazans fear this area could become a sealed-off camp. Residents describe relentless explosions and express deep concern for their safety and future. The Israeli military has not commented on these reports, while Israel maintains that sufficient aid entered Gaza during the prior truce.
