Israeli attacks in Gaza kill four, including a young girl

Four Palestinians, including a young girl, were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours. The Wafa news agency said the girl was killed by Israeli gunfire near the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. A strike on a vehicle in Gaza City’s Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood killed one person and seriously injured another, while a separate attack killed a man riding a bicycle in Khan Younis. Gaza’s Health Ministry said a fourth person died on Thursday from wounds sustained in an earlier strike, as the Israeli military continues to expand its control inside the territory.

WHO warns of ‘more complex’ Ebola outbreak now present in three African countries

The WHO says the Bundibugyo-strain Ebola outbreak, which emerged in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in mid-May, is becoming more complex, with active or recent cases in the DRC, Kenya and Nigeria. Nigeria confirmed its first case on Tuesday in the Ugandan-born wife of a Swiss diplomat based in Abuja, as authorities investigate where she was infected. Uganda said she had travelled to eastern DRC before transiting through Uganda, but the WHO and African health authorities said they had no confirmed information about travel to the DRC; the Swiss government believes she contracted the disease in Uganda. The outbreak has killed more than 4,000 people in the DRC, while Uganda, which had cases earlier this year, has been declared Ebola-free.
