UNICEF is outraged by the killing of two drivers of trucks contracted by UNICEF to provide clean water to families in the Gaza Strip.
The victims were killed by Israeli fire in an incident that took place early this morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza. UNICEF extends our condolences to the families of the men killed.

🚨🚨BREAKING -- UK arms firms have been caught trying to illegally ship weaponry to Israel through Belgium.
The shipment contained "sensitive military equipment" including "lasers, sights, fire control systems, and parts for fighter jets".
It has now been seized by the Belgian authorities following an alert from Declassified, @Vredesactie, & @palyouthmvmt.

An example of how Australia is using its LNG cloud to secure fuel 👇
Singapore guaranteed fuel supplies, like diesel, to Australia during leaders summit
Qatar was Singapore's top LNG supplier, but those shipments have stopped due to the war. Australia can help fill that void
Russia is offering to sell US-sanctioned LNG to South Asian buyers at a *40% discount* 🇷🇺🚢
Moscow is seeking to leverage the global natural gas crunch to lure energy-hungry countries like Bangladesh and India

It is precisely China’s lack of military presence in the greater Middle East that has lured the United States into war, writes Jo Inge Bekkevold. https://t.co/spyr1BufsQ
@kjoules I always avoid taking taxi in HK, as I know otherwise I will not be able to “tell HK story well”/“tell good HK story” (講好香港故事)…lol Just arrived at the HKIA by Uber…
Qatar is attempting to send LNG shipments through Hormuz for first time since the Iran war started 🚨🚨
If successful, this would be the first time a loaded LNG tanker has gone through Hormuz in over a month. ~20% of global LNG supply traverses Hormuz, so would be a big deal
Emirates is paying far less for ‘war risk’ cover than rival airlines, according to multiple insurers. How is the Dubai-based carrier able to negotiate lower prices? https://t.co/UwaI4kzxAg?
@LNGFrankie@MT_Anderson Thank you for such a very good and in-depth analysis. I am thinking, if the attack was well-calculated, which means Iran knew the details of the facilities ver well, then the attack that just damaged the facility for EU members LNG supply might also be some messages for Brussels.
Germany's energy minister has correctly identified that it's sustainability that's crashing the German economy... First it was the pipeline supply of sustainability from Russia and now the seaborne supply of sustainability from the Gulf...
@Fahadnaimb Looks much better than Qatar… I am already exhausted of contacting them. Qatar continuously cancels my flights and refused to change my flights to Cathay or Lufthansa, saying all ticket have been sold out, which is not true… But Emirates is not in an alliance is a pain for me.
Thanks for spotting, Basel! @HKFP#Ragasa
This kind of weather isn't normal, it's a warning sign.
As much as typhoons can mean a fun day off in Hong Kong, they can be lethal elsewhere and their increasing intensity/frequency is linked to the #climatecrisis.
We media should be consistently building reminders into coverage.
Tripperhead's Useless Trivia Time!
If Super Typhoon Ragasa remains a super typhoon, and HKO issues a T10 signal:
• it will be the 19th T10 issued since records began in 1946
• it will be the 8th super typhoon to go T10 since 1946
• it will be the 4th super typhoon to go T10 in the past 8 years; Hato (2017), Mangkhut (2018), Saola (2023), Ragasa (2025)
Obviously, Lula's government is treating the COP as a 100% business for becoming a parvenu but does not care about climate justice. Next time, the @UNFCCC should urge all parties to consider the conference's host deliberately before making the decision.
