As the situation continues to escalate, the calls for change within Gaza underscore the challenges faced by its inhabitants during this turbulent period.

Published: Mar 26 2025, 3 pmeznews.inUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned Russia's recent drone attacks, which involved over a hundred drones overnight, just hours after a ceasefire agreement was reached regarding the Black Sea. This agreement, facilitated by the US during talks in Saudi Arabia, aims to end the prolonged conflict that has lasted over three years. However, the Kremlin indicated that any halt in strikes would depend on lifting restrictions on its agriculture sector, raising doubts about the agreement's implementation. Zelensky criticized the drone strikes as a blatant indication that Moscow is not committed to achieving genuine peace. The Ukrainian air force reported that 117 drones were launched, with 56 intercepted, while some caused damage in Kryvyi Rig and Sumy. Additionally, frontline areas faced continued attacks, resulting in three fatalities in Donetsk. Zelensky urged for increased global pressure and sanctions on Russia to halt the strikes.
Published: Mar 26 2025, 4 pmeznews.inHamas has issued a stark warning that hostages may be killed if Israel continues its military operations in Gaza, including air strikes. In a statement, the group claimed it is making efforts to ensure the safety of the captives but emphasized that ongoing Israeli bombardments pose a significant threat to their lives. Hamas noted that previous attempts by Israel to rescue hostages through force have ended tragically. Since Israel resumed its air strikes and ground operations last week, over 830 Palestinians have reportedly been killed, while the conflict, ignited by Hamas's attack on October 7, has claimed the lives of 1,218 people in Israel, predominantly civilians. The health ministry in Gaza has reported that the ongoing Israeli offensive has resulted in at least 50,183 deaths, mostly among civilians, amid a backdrop of escalating violence following a ceasefire in January.
Published: Mar 26 2025, 4 pmeznews.inThe Kremlin has outlined several conditions necessary for activating a Black Sea maritime security deal with the United States, asserting that Moscow's needs were overlooked in previous agreements. This comes after the U.S. reached separate ceasefire deals with Ukraine and Russia, which include a commitment to advocate for the lifting of some sanctions against Moscow. While Russian food and fertiliser exports are not directly sanctioned, Moscow argues that payment, logistics, and insurance restrictions hinder shipments. Key among Russia's demands is the reconnection of its state agricultural bank, Rosselkhozbank, to the SWIFT international payments system, which may require European approval. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that the new deal’s activation hinges on fulfilling conditions similar to those in the original Black Sea Initiative, which Russia withdrew from in 2023 due to unmet commitments concerning its agricultural exports.
Published: Mar 26 2025, 4 pmeznews.inIn a significant shift in U.S. policy towards Greenland, the White House has cancelled a planned visit by Second Lady Usha Vance amid widespread outrage over President Trump's controversial proposal to "buy" the semi-autonomous Danish territory. Greenland's citizens have firmly rejected the offer, staging unprecedented anti-American protests, prompting the U.S. to reconsider its approach. The delegation will now be led by Vice President JD Vance, but will only visit the U.S. military base at Pituffik, avoiding the capital Nuuk where protests were expected. Greenland's acting prime minister, Mute Egede, condemned the original visit as a "provocation," reflecting a broader sentiment of distrust towards the U.S. Denmark's government welcomed the revised plans, but critics argue the U.S. acted out of necessity, fearing backlash from the Greenlandic populace. The U.S. delegation's visit is scheduled from March 27 to March 29, 2025.

Published: Mar 26 2025, 3 pmeznews.inA Shanghai woman, identified as Ms. Li, has suffered liver damage after unknowingly consuming wastewater for five years due to a plumbing error involving her water purifier. The 30-year-old reported irregular periods and frequent diarrhoea, leading her to investigate her water quality. Using a "water quality pen," she discovered that the purifier's water contained a total dissolved solids (TDS) level of 607 mg/L, far exceeding the expected 24 mg/L and worse than the tap water's 321 mg/L. An investigation revealed that the purifier's cleaned water had been improperly routed to the sewer, while the wastewater was consumed. While Xiaomi, the purifier's manufacturer, has offered a full refund and to replace a filter, Ms. Li is seeking medical evidence linking her health issues to the contaminated water and has rejected the settlement. The company is currently assessing how to address the situation, as the technician responsible for the installation is no longer available.
