US strikes on Yemeni port kill 74 in deadliest attack under Trump
BRUSSELS — US air strikes on Yemen's Ras Isa oil port have killed at least 74 people and injured more than 100, according to the Iran-backed Houthis, in what appears to be the deadliest such incident since President Donald Trump launched a new military campaign against the rebels last month.The Houthis, who released graphic footage of the aftermath, claimed the strike targeted civilian workers.

Daily life in Gaza worsens as Palestinians go over a month without humanitarian aid

He was one...
