Gaza child fatalities
Israel presses ahead with indiscriminate targeting of Palestinians who are fasting in the holy month of Ramadan, as last hopes for an immediate ceasefire vanishes into thin air. UNRWA says Israeli warplanes have hit one of its aid warehouses in Rafah. 5 People were killed and scores more wounded as Palestinians were waiting for humanitarian aid. According to the Gaza health ministry, Israeli airstrikes have claimed 88 Palestinian lives over the past day. The UN says the number of children killed during the first four months of the war on Gaza has topped all those killed in four years of wars across the globe. In northern Gaza alone, 27 children have starved to death. The Health ministry has called on the UN and other child protection agencies for the provision of milk for the infants. The Palestinian death toll now stands at around 31,300, most of them women and children.
Russia election "interference"
President Vladimir Putin says the main objective of Ukraine's recent attacks on his country is to interfere with the upcoming presidential election in Russia. In an interview, Putin said the attacks by Ukrainian forces are aimed at diverting attention from their failures on the front line. He added that Russian forces have completely taken over the initiative in the war. The Russian foreign ministry spokesperson also said the US seeks to discourage Russian citizens from taking part in the election, which is due to be held between March 15 and 17. Maria Zakharova says the US also plans to carry out cyber attacks on Russia's remote electronic voting system. Tensions between Russia and the US escalated to unprecedented levels following the war in Ukraine. Putin has once again warned that he's ready to deploy nuclear weapons if his country's sovereignty is threatened.
