Israel commits to 4-hour daily pauses in Gaza conflict to allow civilians to escape danger

WASHINGTON. In a significant development, Israel has agreed to institute daily four-hour humanitarian pauses in its ongoing assault on Hamas in northern Gaza, as announced by the White House on Thursday. The decision comes as part of President Joe Biden’s persistent efforts to secure a multi-day halt in the fighting, aiming to pave the way for negotiations concerning the release of hostages held by the militant group.

President Biden, who made the request to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a Monday call, expressed the need for a three-day pause and even suggested the possibility of a longer cessation. However, Biden clarified that there is currently no formal ceasefire in place, and it took more time than anticipated for Israel to agree to the proposed humanitarian pauses.

The National Security Council disclosed that Israel has committed to announcing each four-hour window at least three hours in advance every day. In addition to these humanitarian pauses, Israel is opening a second corridor to facilitate the evacuation of civilians from the areas currently targeted in its military campaign against Hamas. The new corridor is a coastal road connecting to the territory’s main north-south highway.

While short-term pauses have occurred over the past few days, Thursday’s announcement signifies an effort to formalize and expand the process, responding to the U.S.’s call for enhanced measures to protect civilians in Gaza.

President Biden’s push for an extended pause aligns with a renewed diplomatic initiative to secure the release of hostages taken by Hamas and other militant groups during their surprise attack on Israel on October 7. Israeli officials estimate that approximately 239 hostages, including children and the elderly, are still held by militants from the October attack, which also resulted in 1,400 Israeli casualties. U.S. officials believe that fewer than 10 Americans are among those held captive.

The U.S. is actively engaged in discussions with partners, particularly in Qatar, to facilitate the release of hostages. CIA Director William Burns, present in Doha on Thursday, is discussing efforts to free hostages in Gaza with the Qatari prime minister and the head of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency.

Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht clarified that there has been no shift in Israeli tactics and emphasized that the daily humanitarian pauses are limited in time and area, focused on providing aid to civilians and allowing their safe evacuation to areas farther south.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken had previously warned Israel about the potential impact on future peace prospects if immediate steps were not taken to improve humanitarian conditions in Gaza for Palestinian civilians. The renewed push for an extended pause follows Blinken’s call for Israel to allow increased assistance to Gaza, highlighting concerns that the current situation could lead to further radicalization among Palestinians and hinder future peace talks.

French President Emmanuel Macron, addressing a Gaza aid conference on Thursday, appealed to Israel to prioritize the protection of civilians. The conference in Paris includes U.S. representatives, including Uzra Zeya, the State Department’s under secretary for civilian security, democracy, and human rights, special envoy David Satterfield, and Sarah Charles, who leads USAID’s bureau for humanitarian assistance. Israel has not been invited to the conference, and when asked about this decision, a U.S. official emphasized the focus on constructive conversations.

Satterfield outlined efforts to improve aid delivery in central and southern Gaza but did not specify plans for the northern battle zone other than assisting civilians in evacuating the intensifying Israeli assault. He highlighted ongoing international efforts to provide fuel to reactivate water desalination plants in the south and mentioned that aid deliveries into the south were averaging 100 trucks a day, with two pipelines supplying clean drinking water from Israel being reinstated.

“We do see the ability in the coming days, we hope, to meet the minimum requirements of the population in the south,” Satterfield said. “And I’m speaking of the south and the center, not of the north, which remains a kinetic area.”

UNRWA and WHO deliver critical medical supplies to Gaza amidst ongoing crisis

AMMAN/GENEVA. UNRWA, in collaboration with WHO, successfully orchestrated the delivery of urgently needed emergency medical supplies and medicines to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, located in the northern region of the Gaza Strip. This remarkable effort took place despite the significant risks faced by our staff and health partners due to the continuous bombardments in Gaza.

This marks only the second delivery of life-saving supplies to the hospital since the escalation of hostilities and the complete blockade of Gaza commenced. On October 24, WHO managed to deliver medical supplies to the hospital under high-security conditions.

While this assistance is certainly welcomed, the quantities provided are far from adequate to address the overwhelming healthcare needs in the Gaza Strip. Al-Shifa Hospital, which stands as the largest healthcare facility in the Gaza Strip and one of its oldest Palestinian health institutions, currently faces a dire medical situation.

The hospital is inundated, with almost two patients for every available bed. The emergency department and wards are overwhelmed, forcing doctors and medical staff to treat wounded and sick patients in hallways, on the floor, and even outdoors. The number of wounded individuals continues to rise hourly, and patients are experiencing extreme and unnecessary pain as medicines and anesthetics become increasingly scarce. Furthermore, tens of thousands of displaced people have sought refuge in the hospital’s parking lots and courtyards.

Al-Shifa Hospital holds a long-standing reputation as the primary healthcare facility in Gaza, and its doctors, nurses, and staff have displayed immense heroism in the face of the current crisis. However, they require additional support. Isolating or depriving the northern areas of Gaza from humanitarian assistance is not an option, and patients there have an unequivocal right to the healthcare they urgently require. Humanitarian aid should reach all corners of Gaza.

The critical issue at hand is the depletion of supplies and fuel in medical facilities. Shockingly, no fuel has been allowed into the Gaza Strip, including Al-Shifa Hospital, for over a month.

UNRWA and WHO urgently reiterate their call for the delivery of fuel to humanitarian agencies in the Gaza Strip. Without fuel, hospitals and essential facilities, including desalination plants and bakeries, are unable to function, resulting in more lives lost.

The ability of hospitals and medical facilities to operate is of paramount importance, especially during conflicts. In accordance with international humanitarian law, we demand the protection of all medical facilities, personnel, patients, and the wounded. We advocate for the consistent and ample flow of humanitarian supplies and fuel and for safe and unimpeded access to deliver these supplies to healthcare facilities throughout the Gaza Strip. Additionally, we call for the medical evacuation of critically injured and ill patients.

With emailed reports from WHO.

Marcos: 40 Pilipino nakalabas na sa Gaza

MAYNILA. Nagpahayag ng pasasalamat si Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. sa Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) at sa mga embahada ng Israel, Jordan, at Egypt nitong Miyerkules matapos ang matagumpay na pagdaan ng 40 Pilipino mula sa Gaza strip sa pamamagitan ng Rafah border crossing sa Egypt.

Sa isang maikling video message, ibinalita ni Pangulong Marcos na ang 40 mga Pilipino ay ligtas at uuwi sila sa Pilipinas sa mga darating na araw.

“Ikinagagalak kong ibalita na 40 sa ating mga kababayan ay ligtas at matagumpay na nakatawid ng Rafah crossing sa Egypt. Sila ngayon ay patungo ng Cairo, kung saan sila magmumula para makauwi nang tuluyan sa ating bansa sa susunod na mga araw,”ayon sa pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos.

Sinabi ng Pangulo na ang matagumpay na paglabas ng 40 Pilipino ay naging posible dahil sa koordinasyon ng DFA at mga embahada sa Israel, Jordan, at Egypt.

“Nagpapasalamat din tayo sa mga pamahalaan ng Israel at Egypt sa kanilang pagbibigay-prayoridad sa ating mga kababayan upang makalabas ng kanilang teritoryo. Kinikilala rin natin ang mediation effort ng Qatar na s’yang naging dahilan para buksan ang mga hangganan ng mga muling bansa,”dagdag pa ni Marcos.

Umaasa ang Pangulo na ang natitirang 74 na Pilipino na naghihintay na makalabas sa Rafah ay makakalabas din at makakasama ang kanilang mga pamilya.

Man crushed to death by robot in South Korea

SEOUL. A tragic incident in South Korea has resulted in the death of a man who was crushed by a robot, which failed to distinguish him from the boxes of food it was handling.

The unfortunate event took place as the man, a robotics company employee in his 40s, was inspecting the robot’s operations.

The robotic arm, mistakenly identifying the man as a box of vegetables, seized him and forcefully pushed his body against a conveyor belt, causing severe injuries to his face and chest, as reported by South Korean news agency Yonhap.

Despite being rushed to the hospital, the man succumbed to his injuries.

According to Yonhap, the robot’s primary function was to lift boxes of peppers and transfer them onto pallets.

The victim had been conducting checks on the robot’s sensors as part of preparations for its upcoming test run at the pepper sorting plant in South Gyeongsang province, scheduled for November 8. Originally planned for November 6, the test was postponed by two days due to sensor issues with the robot.

The man, an employee of the company that manufactured the robotic arm, was working late into the night on Wednesday when the tragic malfunction occurred.

Following the incident, an official from the Donggoseong Export Agricultural Complex, which owns the plant, called for the establishment of a “precise and safe” system.

This accident is a grim reminder of the potential dangers associated with automated machinery. In a similar incident in March, another South Korean man in his 50s suffered severe injuries when he was trapped by a robot while working at an automobile parts manufacturing plant.

Mag-ama patay, 8-anyos na bata sugatan sa pananaksak at pagpapasabog sa Cavite

BACOOR CITY, Cavite. Patay ang mag-ama habang sugatan ang isang 8-anyos na bata matapos ang trahedya sa Barangay Maliksi 1, sa lungsod a ito.

Kinilala ang mga biktima na sina alias Ronaldo (anak) na namatay sa pananaksak, habang namatay habang ginagamot sa Southern Tagalog Regional Hospital ang kanyang ama, na kilalang si Alfredo, dahil sa tinamong saksak sa katawan. Ginagamot pa rin ang sugatang 8-anyos na bata dahil sa pagpapasabog.

Tinututukan ng pulisya ang pagdakip sa mga suspek na kilala bilang alyas ‘Tuyo’ at ‘Harry,’ kung saan isa sa kanila ay bayaw at manugang ng mga biktima na tumakas matapos ang insidente.

Sa ulat ni PMSG Roberto Lacasa ng Bacoor City Police Station, ang kaguluhan ay nag ugat sa mainitang pagtatalo nina Ronald at ng kanyang bayaw na si ‘Tuyo.’ Dahil dito, hinintay ng mga suspek na dumaan ang mga biktima at kanilang pinagsasaksak.

Nakita ito ng ama na si Alfredo, kaya’t tinangka nitong tulungan ang kanyang anak. Ngunit inatake rin siya ni alyas ‘Harry,’ na nauwi sa kanyang kamatayan.

Pagkatapos nito, isang bagay ang inihagis ni alyas Ronald, at ito ay tumama sa 8-anyos na bata na kasalukuyang naglalakad lamang sa nasabing lugar.

Agad na isinugod sa ospital sina Alfredo at ang 8-anyos na bata, ngunit namatay rin ang una.

Nagsimula ang kaguluhan matapos magsumbong ang kapatid na babae ng biktima tungkol sa alitan sa kanilang pamilya.

Patuloy ang pagsusuri ng pulisya at ang pagtugis sa dalawang suspek na tumakas pagkatapos ng pananaksak.

G7 unites on Israel-Hamas war, calls for humanitarian aid in Tokyo summit

TOKYO. G7 diplomats have reached a unified stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict following intense meetings in Tokyo. The Group of Seven nations condemned Hamas, expressed support for Israel’s right to self-defense, and called for “humanitarian pauses” to expedite aid delivery to civilians in Gaza.

In a joint statement after two days of discussions, G7 foreign ministers, including U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, affirmed the need for unimpeded humanitarian assistance, emphasizing the importance of providing food, water, medical care, fuel, and shelter to those in need. They also advocated for humanitarian pauses and corridors to facilitate aid delivery and the release of hostages.

The G7 meeting aimed to address the escalating humanitarian crisis while avoiding deepening differences over Gaza. Blinken stressed the importance of G7 unity in these challenging times.

In addition to the humanitarian aspect, the G7 ministers are working to prevent further escalation of the conflict, using sanctions to restrict Hamas’s ability to raise funds for violent acts. They also condemned extremist settler violence against Palestinians, noting its detrimental impact on the West Bank’s security and prospects for lasting peace.

As the G7 met in Tokyo, thousands of Palestinians in Gaza were forced to flee southward due to food and water shortages, while Israel’s military engaged in intense combat with Hamas militants within Gaza City. The situation in and around the city remains dire.

Blinken shared key elements for post-war considerations, including preventing the forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, using Gaza as a platform for terrorism, or reoccupying the territory. He also emphasized the need to ensure that terrorist threats do not emanate from the West Bank.

The G7 ministers addressed various global crises, including the conflict in Ukraine, North Korea’s missile programs, and China’s territorial disputes. They also discussed cooperation on pandemics, synthetic opioids, and the misuse of artificial intelligence.

The G7 remains steadfast in supporting Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity. The ministers strongly condemned North Korea’s ballistic missile launches and arms transfers to Russia, in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.

Efforts to expand humanitarian aid to Gaza and establish “pauses” in Israel’s military operations continue, although challenges persist. Arab and Muslim nations demand an immediate ceasefire, while discussions on Gaza’s future have been delayed to prioritize addressing the immediate humanitarian crisis.

Despite some differences within the G7 on the Gaza issue, the group remains committed to finding a resolution to the conflict. Recent pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel demonstrations have occurred in G7 capitals and worldwide.

Blinken’s visit to Tokyo followed a Middle East tour, which included stops in Israel, Jordan, the West Bank, Cyprus, and Iraq. His next destinations are South Korea and India.

Mesmerizing galaxies revealed in stunning images from European space telescope

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Scientists unveiled a captivating collection of galaxy images taken by the European space telescope Euclid on Tuesday, offering a shimmering spectacle of countless galaxies.

The European Space Agency shared these images four months after Euclid’s launch from Cape Canaveral. While similar celestial vistas have been observed by telescopes like Hubble, Euclid’s snapshots present “razor-sharp astronomical images across such an extensive swath of the sky, delving deep into the distant universe,” noted the space agency.

One of Euclid’s remarkable images showcases a group of 1,000 galaxies in a cluster located 240 million light-years away, set against a backdrop of over 100,000 galaxies situated billions of light-years distant. To put it in perspective, one light-year equals 5.8 trillion miles.

“These images are simply dazzling,” exclaimed Carole Mundell, the space agency’s science director, as she displayed the photograph of the galaxy cluster on a large screen at the control center in Germany.

Euclid’s advanced instruments are exceptionally sensitive, capable of capturing the faintest galaxies that were previously invisible. The results present “crystal-clear and striking images that transport us back in time through the cosmos,” stated Mundell.

The telescope also provided detailed images of a nearby spiral galaxy that closely resembles our own Milky Way. While the Hubble Space Telescope had previously examined the core of this galaxy, Euclid’s image reveals star formation across the entire region, according to scientists.

Euclid also turned its lens towards the Horsehead Nebula in the Orion constellation, which is renowned as a stellar nursery of young stars, a subject made famous by Hubble.

Astronomers aim to gain insights into the universe’s composition, with 95% consisting of dark energy and matter, by analyzing the shape and movement of galaxies located as far as 10 billion light-years away.

Over the next six years, the observatory will conduct a comprehensive survey of billions of galaxies, constructing the most intricate 3D map of the cosmos. NASA is a collaborative partner in this $1.5 billion mission and contributed the telescope’s infrared detectors.

Euclid, launched in July, orbits the Sun at a distance of approximately 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) from Earth. The telescope is named after the ancient Greek mathematician.

DOTr: Tuloy na ang PUV Modernization Program sa Disyembre 31

MAYNILA. Tuloy na ang paagsisimula ng Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) Modernization program ng gobyerno hanggang Disyembre 31, 2023, ayon sa Department of Transportation (DOTr).

Wala nang anuman ang makakapigil sa deadline para sa pagbuo ng mga kooperatiba o korporasyon para sa mga jeepney drivers bilang bahagi ng nasabing programa, ayon kay DOTr Secretary Jaime Bautista.

Ipinagtanggol ni Bautista ang Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) mula sa mga kontrobersiyang kinasangkutan nito. Mariing pinabulaanan niya ang mga akusasyon laban sa LTFRB na nagsasabing mayroong bentahan ng ruta ng mga jeepney. Ayon sa kanya, ang mga local government units (LGUs) ay kasama sa plano para sa mga ruta, at hindi mabibili ang mga ito.

Sa isang panayam sa telebisyon, iginiit ni Bautista na ang mga ruta ay hindi ibinebenta at ang prangkisa ay libre. Dagdag pa niya na hindi inaalis ang mga tradisyunal na public utility jeepneys (PUJs), ngunit kinakailangan na ang mga ito ay sumusunod sa euro engine standard at mga Philippine Standards ng Trade Industry.

Hindi maikakaila na may mga kontrobersiya na kinasangkutan si Guadiz, ang Chairman ng LTFRB, patungkol sa kanyang dating executive assistant na si Jeff Tumbado. Isinampa ni Tumbado ang alegasyon ng bribery sa LTFRB, na nagresulta sa pansamantalang pag-suspend ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. kay Guadiz mula sa kanyang puwesto Subalit malaunan, binawi ni Tumbado ang alegasyon, na nagresulta sa pagbabalik ni Guadiz sa kanyang puwesto.

Misis ni Jumalon: Lupa at negosyo, posibleng motibo sa pagpatay

Naglabas ng posibilidad na away sa lupa at negosyo ang motibo sa pagpatay kay Juan Jumalon o mas kilala bilang DJ Johnny Walker, isang radioman.

Ayon kay Cherebel, asawa ng biktima, ito ang kanyang hinala matapos ang trahedyang kumitil sa buhay ng kanyang asawa noong Linggo ng umaga habang ito ay nagsasagawa ng brodkast sa kanilang tahanan sa Calamba, Misamis Occidental.

Nagbigay pahayag si Cherebel na bago ang krimen, nanalo ang kanyang asawa sa dalawang kaso sa korte. Una, nauugnay ito sa lupa kung saan nakatayo ang kanilang bahay at ang radyo istasyon na 94.7 Calamba Gold FM Radio.

Kinampihan sila ng korte sa kanilang kaso kaugnay ng falsification of public document laban sa mga nagnanais kumamkam ng lupa na kinatitirikan ng kanilang bahaysa Barangay Don Bernardo A. Neri, ayon sa kanya.

Ang pangalawang kaso ay nauugnay sa pagkakaroon ng nabanggit na radyo istasyon sa Calamba. May alegasyon na hindi matanggap ng kanilang mga nakaaway ang pagkakaroon ng radyo istasyon sa kanilang lugar.

Ayon kay Cherebel, ang programa ng kanyang asawa ay tungkol lamang sa pampublikong serbisyo at entertainment, at hindi ito kailanman naglalaman ng anumang pambabatikos sa kahit na sinong indibidwal.

Saad niya, malabong may kinalaman ang trabaho ng kanyang asawa sa krimen, lalo pa’t marami itong kaibigan kahit sa kabila ng kanyang kapansanan. Si Juan ay may polio at gumagamit ng saklay.

Naglabas na ang pulisya ng composite sketch ng isa sa mga suspek sa krimen. Ang mga suspek ay nagpanggap na may ipapa-broadcast upang makapasok sa bahay ni Juan.

Bukod dito, naglaan ng P100,000 na pabuya para sa sinumang makapagbigay ng impormasyon hinggil sa pagpatay sa brodkaster.
