UN warns food aid cuts hits 500k in Cameroon TeleSur
The United Nations has warned it will have to suspend life-saving humanitarian aid for over a half million refugees in Cameroon.
The urgent suspension of this humanitarian assistance will take effect at the end of August without new and much-needed emergency funding.
The UN’s World Food Programme, which provides food to 523,000 people, has already been scaling back critical operations.
In the Gado refugee camp, refugees are now receiving only half of their daily food needs, the UN agency stated in a release.
This increasingly dire situation is forcing families to adopt negative coping strategies like skipping meals or selling their limited belongings.
The WFP said it has already been forced to end critical assistance for 26,000 refugees in one northern camp.
Gianluca Ferrera, the WFP’s country director in Cameroon, said the agency has reached a critical and urgent humanitarian tipping point.
He added that without immediate funding, children will tragically go hungry, families will suffer, and lives will be lost.
The UN body said it needs a total of $65.5 million to sustain humanitarian assistance through January of 2026.
The rising numbers of refugees in Cameroon are fleeing multiple crises, including prolonged conflict and persistent instability in the region.
Last year, Cameroon overtook Burkina Faso on the Norwegian Refugee Council’s list of the world’s most neglected displacement crises.

❗️Israeli War Minister Israel Katz is currently holding a meeting to approve plans for the occupation of Gaza City, with the participation of Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Tamir Yadai, the head of the Operations Directorate, the head of Military Intelligence, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, representatives of the Shin Bet, and other senior security officials.
❗️According to Israel's Channel 12:
Despite the messages coming from Netanyahu’s circle, behind the scenes the negotiating teams are studying the response that arrived from Hamas and are holding talks with the mediators.
Those familiar with the details confirm that “there is indeed a basis for a deal.”
A senior security official said: “If there is the will, the chances of a deal based on the Witkoff framework have increased significantly.”
Within the security establishment, officials warn that occupying Gaza represents a heavy gamble: it is unclear how the next stage of the operation in the Strip would develop, it is not certain Hamas can be defeated, and there is no guarantee that such a move would actually lead to a comprehensive deal.
Therefore, in the end, the Prime Minister will have to decide whether to take this gamble, or ultimately to try to exhaust the negotiation track and send a delegation to discuss the details of the deal in an effort to conclude it.

⭕️ Israeli army operates 'Legitimization Cell' to shape Gaza media narrative
The Israeli army is using a specialized unit known as the “Legitimization Cell" to collect intelligence from Gaza and enhance Israel’s public image.
Formed after 7 October, the unit focuses on gathering intel about Hamas’s alleged use of schools and hospitals for military purposes. It also identifies Gaza-based journalists who could be depicted as undercover Hamas operatives, in an effort to counter mounting global criticism over Israel’s killing of reporters, the most recent being Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, killed in an Israeli airstrike this past week.
The Legitimization Cell’s members are reportedly intent on finding journalists they could associate with Hamas and mark as potential targets.

⭕️ Israel and Druze leaders plan independent Suwayda with US backing, possible Kurdish alliance: Rojava Network
Rojava Network reports that a leaked document reveals a secret pact between Israel, Druze leaders from Suwayda, and Druze representatives from Israel, with quiet US backing. The meeting, allegedly held at the Israeli army’s Northern Command, discussed declaring Suwayda’s independence under a political model similar to Cyprus, with Israel pledging political, military, and economic support and pushing for UN recognition.
The plan includes forming a Druze-led local defense force, full logistical and intelligence support from the Israeli army, protection from HTS attacks, and investment in solar energy projects managed jointly by Israeli experts and Druze investors. Netanyahu reportedly told Druze elders that Israel considers them strategic allies and promised intervention would be “humanitarian” while not interfering in their sovereignty.
The leak also outlines a backup Israeli plan for Syria’s Kurds, potentially replicating the “Suwayda model” in northeast Syria if they come under attack by the regime, Turkiye-backed groups, or sectarian unrest. This could lead to a Druze-Kurdish alliance under indirect Israeli protection, joint training between the proposed “Suwayda Defense Forces” and the SDF, and logistical support from Israel.
According to the source, Washington is discreetly aware and supportive of the plan, as the US Pentagon recently told Congress that the security of Syrian Kurds and northeast Syria is considered part of US national security — framing these moves as tied to the broader “New Middle East Project.”
