Across the Middle East, tensions remain high as Israeli military operations in Lebanon continue, a day after rare talks aimed at easing the conflict. The humanitarian toll remains severe, with more than 2,000 people reported killed since early March and growing concern over the impact on healthcare and the situation of vulnerable groups, including pregnant women. Uncertainty also continues in the Strait of Hormuz following a US-announced blockade on Iranian ports, raising wider concerns over regional stability and global trade.
