UAE expresses solidarity with Texas flood victims
The UAE has expressed its solidarity with the United States after the 'devastating' floods in the state of Texas, which killed dozens of people, left many missing, and caused significant material damage. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs extended sympathy to the families of the victims, as well as the people and government of the US. At least 79 people were killed, and 27 children remain missing after heavy rain and deadly flooding hit the southern US state over the weekend, as the search for girls missing from a summer camp continued and fears of more flooding prompted evacuations of volunteer responders. President Donald Trump sent his condolences to the victims and said he would probably visit the area on Friday. "It's a horrible thing that took place, absolutely horrible. So we say, God bless all of the people that have gone through so much, and God bless, God bless the state of Texas," he told reporters as he left New Jersey. Among the most devastating impacts of the flooding occurred at Camp Mystic summer camp, a nearly century-old Christian girls camp where 10 Camp Mystic campers and one counselor were still missing. The flooding occurred after the nearby Guadalupe River broke its banks after torrential rain fell in the central Texas area on Friday, the U.S. Independence Day holiday.

Freedom Flotilla to sail for Gaza again after earlier ship seized
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition says it is preparing to launch another aid mission to Gaza, weeks after Israeli forces seized one of its vessels in international waters. The group confirmed that its next boat, named Handala, will depart from the Italian port of Siracusa on 13 July in a renewed effort to challenge Israel's blockade of the coastal enclave. In a post on X, the coalition said, 'The mission is for the children of Gaza.' The vessel is named after Handala, a cartoon figure of a 10-year-old boy who has come to symbolise Palestinian resistance. Israeli forces previously intercepted the aid ship Madleen about 185km off the Gaza coast, detaining 12 activists on board, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. All were later deported.
