Gaza Starvation: Death Numebrs on the Rise
Rabat — As the world watches in silence, Israel-induced starvation in genocide-ravaged Gaza continues to harvest the lives of innocent civilians. The recent updated number of starvation deaths has jumped to 124, including 84 children, according to health ministry. The Israeli Occupation Forces' (IOF) starvation approach has claimed the lives of three children in the past 24 hours, as the strategy continues to apply, leaving innocent civilians in dire need of food and aid. The mass famine is taking over Gaza and being 'contructed and deliberate,' with death looming bodies emaciated by starvation, according to a statement from the UN agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA). The statement lamented Israeli- and US-backed aid distribution mechanism, known as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, (GHF). UNRWA argued that it serves 'military and political objectives,' adding that rather than saving lives it is strategically 'taking more lives.' Images circulating on social media have stirred international condemnation, with the hashtag #GazaIsStarving trending, exposing the reality of Israeli atrocities on the ground. The IOF starvation approach has triggered condemnation around the world, with humanitarian organizations calling for an immediate opening of the crossing borders to allow entry of food and aid to the enclave. World leaders, particularly Germany, France, and the UK, have also called on Israel to stop its genocidal-starvation approach and lift blockade on aid supplies to be delivered to the starving Gazan population. French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Thursday that his country will officially recognize the State of Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly session in September. Macron also indicated he has come up with a plan with Saudi Arabia to have France plus G7 allies Britain and Canada recognize Palestinian statehood.

Piastri rues 'disappointing' error as Norris takes pole
Australia's Oscar Piastri has been left regretting a qualifying slip that has helped put McLaren teammate and world championship arch-rival Lando Norris on pole for the Belgian Grand Prix. The pair are gearing up for another classic wet weather battle after the dominating qualifying at Spa-Francorchamps. Norris set the fastest time early on in the final session on Saturday to grab pole position for Sunday's race. Piastri could not quite beat it on his final run, finishing 0.085 seconds behind his British teammate. Piastri has a nine-point lead at the top of the world championship standings but is under increasingly intense pressure from in-form Norris, who is aiming for his third straight grand prix race victory. Piastri had been quickest in Friday practice and sprint qualifying but found Norris had stepped things up the following day. Piastri said: "The second lap was coming together really well and I just made a little mistake in (turn) 14. It is fine margins out there. "Not a bad place to be starting, but there was more in it so that is disappointing." Norris said: "The car has been been flying all weekend, Oscar has been doing a good job all weekend, so we're pushing each other a lot. "It's tough because you see where your strengths and weaknesses are easily and you learn from each other quickly. It's a good but tough battle that we have at the minute." Rain is forecast for Sunday, raising the prospect of another wet-weather shoot-out between the two McLarens after Norris came out on top in a thriller at his home race at Silverstone last time out. Norris said it could be a "Silverstone-esque" race, hinting at difficult driving conditions and possible chaos if parts of the circuit, the longest on the F1 calendar, get a drenching while other sections remain dry. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was third fastest and Dutchman Max Verstappen, who won the sprint race a few hours before qualifying, passing Piastri on the straight of the first lap, was fourth in the Red Bull. Alex Albon was fifth quickest in the Williams ahead of Mercedes driver George Russell. Lewis Hamilton's disappointing weekend continued with 16th place in qualifying after his best lap time was ruled out because he'd strayed off track. The day before, the Ferrari driver was 18th in qualifying for the sprint race following a spin. Piastri took seven points and Norris six from the sprint, meaning the Australian extended his overall lead from eight to nine points over his team-mate heading into Sunday. But Norris's race pole - and the weather - could change all that. With agencies
