The NSCN (IM) which has been in a ceasefire agreement with the government of India since 1997, had signed a 'framework agreement' with the Centre in 2015 and the two have been holding parleys since then, to sign the long drawn out Naga peace deal.
The peace talks which is widely considered to be at a 'final stage' has dragged on without much clarity in the past few months, although the Centre's emissary for the Naga peace talks AK Mishra has been frequently visiting Nagaland holding separate meetings with different Naga militant groups and other civil bodies.

Gauze left in abdomen after C-section, hospital faces probe
Ghaziabad: A Nehru Nagar resident has accused a private hospital of negligence after doctors allegedly left a towel-sized gauze in his wife's abdomen during a caesarean section. While a police case is awaited pending an inquiry by a CMO-led panel, complainant Chirag Kataria said the patient experienced severe pain and fever for a month following the June 6 delivery. After she fainted on July 10, subsequent medical tests at a Ghaziabad centre revealed a foreign object in her abdomen. "Diviya underwent a C-section at Om Medical Centre in Ashok Nagar. But ever since she was discharged, my wife had bouts of fever and occasional sharp pain in her chest. On July 10, she fainted at home following a severe stomachache. We consulted the doctor at Om Medical Centre again and she was advised to undergo a USG, CT-scan and X-ray," Kataria, who works as a consultant with a French company, said.

Israeli forces kill over 20 people seeking food in Gaza, say witnesses
Israeli forces killed at least 23 Palestinians seeking food on Sunday in the Gaza Strip, according to hospital officials and witnesses, who described facing gunfire as hungry crowds surged around aid sites as the malnutrition-related death toll surged. Desperation has gripped the Palestinian territory of more than 2 million, which experts have warned is at risk of famine because of Israel's blockade and nearly two-year offensive. Yousef Abed, among the crowds en route to a distribution point, described coming under what he called indiscriminate fire, looking around and seeing at least three people bleeding on the ground. I couldn't stop and help them because of the bullets, he said. Southern Gaza's Nasser Hospital said they had received bodies from near multiple distribution sites, including eight from Teina, about three km away from a distribution site in Khan Younis, which is operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a private US and Israeli-backed contractor that took over aid distribution more than two months ago. The hospital also received one body from Shakoush, an area hundreds of metres north of a different GHF site in Rafah. Another nine were also killed by troops near the Morag corridor, who were awaiting trucks entering Gaza through an Israeli border crossing, it said. Three Palestinian eyewitnesses, seeking food in Teina and Morag, told The Associated Press the shootings occurred on the route to the distribution points, which are in military zones secured by Israeli forces. They said they saw soldiers open fire on hungry crowds advancing toward the troops. Further north in central Gaza, hospital officials described a similar episode, with Israeli troops opening fire Sunday morning toward crowds of Palestinians trying to GHF's fourth and northernmost distribution point. Troops were trying to prevent people from advancing. They opened fire and we fled. Some people were shot, said Hamza Matter, one of the aid seekers. At least five people were killed and 27 wounded at GHF's site near Netzarim corridor, Awda Hospital said. Eyewitnesses seeking food in the strip have reported similar gunfire attacks in recent days near aid distribution sites, leaving dozens of Palestinians dead. The United Nations reported 859 people have been killed near GHF sites from May 27 to July 31 and that hundreds more have been slain along the routes of UN-led food convoys. The GHF launched in May as Israel sought an alternative to the UN-run system, which had safely delivered aid for much of the war but was accused by Israel of allowing Hamas, which guarded convoys early in the war, to siphon supplies. Israel has not offered evidence of widespread theft. The UN has denied it. GHF says its armed contractors have only used pepper spray or fired warning shots to prevent deadly crowding. Israel's military has said it only fires warning shots as well. Both claimed the death tolls have been exaggerated. Neither Israel's military nor GHF immediately responded to questions about Sunday's reported fatalities. Meanwhile, the Gaza health ministry also said six more Palestinian adults died of malnutrition-related causes in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours. This brings the death toll among Palestinian adults to 82 in the past five weeks since the ministry started counting deaths among adults in late June, it said. Ninety-three children have also died of causes related to malnutrition since the war in Gaza started in 2023, the ministry said. The war began when Hamas attacked southern Israel on Oct 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people, and abducted another 251. They are still holding 50 captives, around 20 believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefires or other deals. Israel's retaliatory military offensive has killed more than 60,400 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The ministry, which doesn't distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count, is staffed by medical professionals. The United Nations and other independent experts view its figures as the most reliable count of casualties. Israel has disputed its figures, but hasn't provided its own account of casualties.

Six More Starve To Death In Gaza, Including Children, As Aid Fails To Reach All
With six more deaths reported, the total number of hunger-related deaths has risen to 175 since the war began, including 93 children Six more people, including children, have died of starvation and malnutrition in Gaza in the past 24 hours, Gaza's health ministry said on Sunday, bringing the total number of reported hunger-related deaths to 175 since the war began. Of these, 93 were children. The announcement comes as Egypt's state-linked Al Qahera News reported that two trucks carrying 107 tonnes of diesel were expected to enter Gaza, a rare delivery after months of severe fuel restrictions. Gaza's hospitals have been critically affected by fuel shortages, forcing medical staff to treat only the most urgent cases. It remained unclear by Sunday evening whether the trucks had reached their destination. Fuel shipments have been rare since March, when Israel tightened its control over aid entering Gaza. Israel said the restrictions were aimed at pressuring Hamas to release hostages taken during its October 2023 attack. While Israel has recently taken steps to ease aid flow — including temporary fighting pauses and designated aid corridors — UN agencies say these measures are far from sufficient. Airdrops continue, but aid groups insist that only land routes can meet the scale of need. Palestinians desperate for food are often forced to risk their lives just to access a small amount of aid. Nearly 1,400 Palestinians have reportedly been killed since late May while waiting for food, many in areas under Israeli fire. Mohammad Abu Taha, a 42-year-old father from Rafah, described one tragic scene. 'Thousands were queuing for food at dawn. Suddenly, we heard gunshots. There was no way to escape. People started running, pushing and shoving each other, children, women, the elderly." 'The scene was truly tragic: blood everywhere, wounded, dead," he added. Aid workers and analysts say the Israeli military often fires warning shots near aid queues, contributing to the chaos and fear. The Israeli army denies targeting civilians and maintains it only acts when people get too close to military positions. Thousands Flood Sydney Streets In Pro-Palestinian Rally Tens of thousands of protesters marched across Sydney's Harbour Bridge on Sunday, calling for peace in Gaza and urgent food aid for civilians trapped in the conflict zone. Despite heavy rain, the protest — dubbed the 'March for Humanity" — drew huge crowds, with some carrying pots and pans to symbolise hunger in Gaza. Others waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans of solidarity. Authorities estimated the crowd at 90,000, though organisers claimed up to 300,000 joined. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was among the participants. Similar protests took place in Melbourne and other cities. view comments Location : Palestine First Published: August 03, 2025, 17:26 IST News world Six More Starve To Death In Gaza, Including Children, As Aid Fails To Reach All Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
