Turkey, Syria quakes
Desperation growing in Turkey and Syria four days after a monstrous earthquake hit parts of the two countries. The death toll has kept rising, now topping 21,500. Turkey has so far confirmed more than 18,000 fatalities. The toll has passed 3300 in Syria. Thousands more have been injured and displaced. The epicenter of the 7.8 magnitude quake was in southern Turkey. It struck early Monday and was followed by hundreds of aftershocks. Rescue workers are searching against the clock to find possible survivors. But the likelihood of finding people alive under loads of wreckage and rubble, is diminishing. The UN chief has urged the international community to provide more money for the relief efforts. Meanwhile, the first batch of UN aid has arrived in Syria’s militant-held areas in the northwest.
Palestinian prisoner dead
Palestinian prisoner Ahmed Abu Ali held by the Israeli regime has died after 10 years of detention. The 48-year-old man died in a hospital near the occupied west bank city of al-Khalil. Palestinian resistance movement Hamas have called for International rights group to break their silence on Israeli atrocities against Palestinian prisoners.
Ukraine war
French President Emmanuel Macron says he does not rule out sending fighter jets to Ukraine, but it’s impossible to do that in the coming weeks. Macron believes the priority should be on items like artillery which Ukrainian forces were already trained on. The French president was speaking at the end of an EU summit that was also attended by his Ukrainian counterpart. After the summit, Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters that a number of European leaders had said they are ready to supply fighter jets. Russia has warned that the delivery of aircraft and long-range missiles to Ukraine would prolong the war. Moscow has also rejected Kiev’s pledge that it won’t use long-range Western arms against Russian territory. It argues that Ukraine has time and again shown its untrustworthiness to make agreements.
