Israel attacked the Lebanese capital Beirut with a new wave of powerful air strikes overnight after ordering residents in the city’s southern suburb to flee for their lives.
The independent Famine Review Committee of global food security experts warns that action must be taken “within days” to avert famine in northern Gaza and “alleviate this catastrophic situation” amid a monthlong Israeli military siege.
