<div class="field field-field-text"><p data-end="413" data-start="234">Israeli forces have continued to detonate buildings in Rafah, even as the truce with Hamas remains in place, with fresh blasts reported across the southern edge of the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p data-end="709" data-start="415">The latest demolitions form part of what appears to be a steady Israeli push to level what is left of Gaza’s already shattered infrastructure. Using recent satellite imagery, multiple news outlets say the army has flattened at least 1,500 structures since the ceasefire took hold on 10 October.</p>
<p data-end="998" data-start="711">The UN warned in July that nearly seven in ten buildings across Gaza had been damaged or wiped out, including more than 245,000 homes. With over 100 lorries hauling debris every day, UN engineers say the territory faces a rubble-clearing effort that could drag on for more than 15 years.</p>

Indigenous lands must be recognised as part of climate policy, says Brazilian minister
Sonia Guajajara tells Cop30 the rights of traditional communities must be maintained in the face of exploitation by the mining industry
Countries must recognise the demarcation of Indigenous lands as a key component of tackling the climate crisis, and civil society must help in the defence of such lands against mining interests, Brazil’s minister for Indigenous peoples has said.
Sonia Guajajara, a longtime Indigenous activist before being appointed a minister by President Lula da Silva, said: “[Among the goals of the Cop30 summit is] a request that countries recognise the demarcation of Indigenous lands as climate policy.” Continue reading...
