Yemen displacement, Congo raid, Gaza flooding
More than 323,000 people have been displaced by fighting in Yemen since August, the UN says, while hospitals in besieged Taiz warn that running out of fuel could force emergency services to close.

Gaza’s Civil Defence says flooding has driven people from shelters and interrupted hospital emergency care.
