The lives of millions will be under threat in Ukraine this coming winter, as the country deals with critically damaged infrastructure.

Half of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure is either damaged or destroyed, and 10 million are currently without power.

Temperatures are predicted to plummet as low as -20C in some areas.

The WHO has documented 703 attacks on health infrastructure since Russia’s invasion began earlier this year.

Due to the attacks, hundreds of hospitals and healthcare facilities are “no longer fully operational.

The WHO now fears up to three million people could flee their homes in search of warmth and safety.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
