A UN shelter has been struck in Khan Younis. The shelter struck was a training center run by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), where about 800 people were seeking refuge from the intense fighting in Gaza.

According to the UNRWA, two tank shells hit the shelter on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, killing at least nine people and injuring 75 others. The UNRWA condemned the attack as a “blatant disregard of basic rules of war” and said the coordinates of the shelter were shared with the Israeli authorities, who denied responsibility for the incident. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said they were investigating the possibility that the strike was a result of Hamas fire.

The incident was one of the many examples of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where more than 1.7 million people have been displaced by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which started in October 2023.The UN has warned that Palestinians in Gaza face inhumane, squalid conditions, struggling to simply make it through another day without proper shelter, heating, sanitary facilities, food and drinkable water.

The Ghana Health Service (GHS) is concerned about the high rate of caesarean sections (CS) among women in the country. The GHS said that the 2022 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS) report showed that one in every five women delivered through CS, which exceeded the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation of 15% for the population level.

The GHS explained that CS should be reserved for cases where vaginal delivery was not safe or possible, and that the overuse of CS could put a burden on the health system and deprive other women of the life-saving intervention. The GHS also noted that the CS rate was higher in urban areas (27%) than in rural areas (15%).

The GHS suggested that the factors contributing to the rising CS rate should be investigated and addressed, such as maternal choice, health provider practices, or systemic issues. The GHS also called for improved maternal education on delivery options and enhanced training for health providers on the appropriateness of CS.

A 22 year old Darya Trepova a Russian national, has been jailed for 27 years for delivering a bomb to a pro-war blogger in a cafe in St Petersburg in 2020. The bomb exploded in the hands of the blogger, Igor Girkin, who was also known as Strelkov, a former separatist commander in eastern Ukraine. He survived the blast, but lost his right hand and eye. The explosion also killed a waitress and injured 13 other people.

Trepova confessed to the crime, saying that she was motivated by hatred for Girkin, who she blamed for the deaths of thousands of people in the Ukrainian conflict. She also said that she was influenced by online propaganda from a radical group called “Revenge of the Donbass”, which opposed Russia’s involvement in the war. The group claimed responsibility for the attack and praised Trepova as a hero.

The court found Trepova guilty of terrorism, murder, and illegal possession of explosives, and sentenced her to 27 years in prison. The sentence was the maximum possible under Russian law for a woman. Trepova’s lawyers said that they would appeal the verdict, arguing that she was mentally ill and acted under duress.
