*) Gaza experiencing world's worst food crisis: UN report Gaza, where 80% of the population is internally displaced, faces the world's worst food crisis, according to a new UN report. The "2024 Food Security and Nutrition in the World" report by the FAO, WFP, IFAD, UNICEF, and WHO highlights severe food insecurity in Gaza due to the Israeli siege. This crisis is more severe than in South Sudan, Yemen, Syria, and nearly as severe as in Haiti. *) UK ends challenge to ICC's jurisdiction over arrest warrant on Netanyahu Britain's new government announced it is dropping its predecessor's objection to the ICC's jurisdiction to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
