Gaza/Jerusalem, July 27 (Xinhua) — Humanitarian aid was dropped again over various areas in the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday evening, Palestinian sources and eyewitnesses reported.

Several boxes of flour, sugar and canned goods were dropped by parachute in northern Gaza.

One of the aid packages fell on a tent housing displaced people in northern Gaza, leaving several people with minor injuries, witnesses said.

Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that airdrops of humanitarian aid to Gaza would resume.

According to the statement, seven pallets of humanitarian aid provided by international organizations will be airlifted. Special humanitarian corridors are planned to ensure the safe passage of UN convoys in Gaza.

In turn, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) said it had decided to immediately resume airlifts of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

In a post on social media platform X, UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan said the UAE would continue to provide aid “by land, air and sea” to meet the urgent needs of the hardest-hit people in Gaza.

The resumption of air aid comes amid warnings from aid agencies of worsening hunger in Gaza, where access to essential supplies has been severely restricted since Israel closed all crossings into the strip in March. –0–

Sudan's militant coalition announces parallel government

KHARTOUM, July 27 (Xinhua) — A political coalition led by the paramilitary Rapid Intervention Force (RIF) announced on Saturday the formation of a parallel government in Sudan, raising fears of further fragmentation of the country already suffering from civil conflict for more than two years.

“The leadership of the Founding Alliance of Sudan has agreed to appoint Mohammed Hassan al-Taishi as prime minister of the peace government,” the alliance’s spokesman, Alaa El-Din Nugood, said in a televised address broadcast via Telegram.

According to the statement, RRF commander Mohammed Hamdan Daglo was appointed head of the presidential council, the highest sovereign body in the new government, and PPLM-N leader Abdelaziz al-Hilu was appointed his deputy.

An anonymous source in the alliance told Xinhua that the SRF received 42 percent of the seats in the parallel government, while the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North received 33 percent. The remaining 25 percent were divided among other groups in the alliance.

Political analyst Abdel Khalek Mahjoub said the announcement of a parallel government would further complicate Sudan's political crisis.

"There are serious concerns that Sudan could face the threat of splitting, given the existence of two governments. This reality worsens the political situation in the country," he said.

Having two governments, he said, exacerbates the geographic divide, which could eventually lead to permanent division, as seen in some other countries.

In February, the RSF signed a founding charter with various political and armed groups, laying the foundation for a parallel government.

The RSF currently controls most of the Darfur region in western Sudan and part of the Kordofan region.

Sudan remains locked in a conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RRF, which erupted in April 2023. The fighting has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced millions more. –0–

LHASA, July 26 (Xinhua) — The 11th Panchen Lama, Ertnyi Choelkyi Kyalbo, visited the cities of Chamdo and Nagchu in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region from July 7 to 23, attended a series of religious activities and conducted social research.

On July 7, the Panchen Lama, the spiritual leader of Lamaism, arrived in Chamdo by plane from Lhasa, the regional capital. From July 7 to 18, he visited more than 10 temples in several districts and counties of Chamdo City Prefecture and took part in religious services.

At the Zonggang Temple in the county of the same name, the Panchen Lama gave a teaching on the Longevity Sutra to the monks and performed a blessing ritual by laying hands on their heads.

During his stay in Chamdo, the 11th Panchen Lama also presided over a symposium on ethnic cohesion in Zonggang County and visited the Tibetan Medicine Company, the Tibetan Medicine Hospital and the town of Sobando, an important staging post on the ancient Tea Road, a trade route during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) that passed through several regions. These activities were part of his public research mission.

During a visit to a Tibetan medicine company in the city's economic and technological development zone, the 11th Panchen Lama noted that Tibetan medicine is a treasure of traditional medicine for the Chinese nation. "We must definitely preserve the traditional recipes of Tibetan medicine while focusing on scientific innovation so that more people can benefit from this ancient wisdom," he said.

The journey to Chamdo lasted 12 days, and the Panchen Lama was warmly received by monks and other followers of Lamaism wherever he went.

After leaving Chamdo, the Panchen Lama conducted religious activities at two temples in Nagchu from July 19 to 23, as well as public research in one of the local villages, where he visited the home of a local resident and became closely acquainted with the progress of construction of beautiful villages in high-altitude conditions.

The 11th Panchen Lama, Ertnyi Choelkyi-Kyalbo, is a member of the Bureau of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). He also serves as vice-chairman of the China Buddhist Society and chairman of the Xizang branch of the organization.

The 11th Panchen Lama, Ertni Choelkyi-Kyalbo, is considered one of the most authoritative living Buddhas in Lamaism. He was born on February 13, 1990, in Jiali County, Nagchu City, Xizang Autonomous Region. On November 29, 1995, after a golden urn drawing ceremony and approval by the State Council of the People's Republic of China, he was recognized as the reincarnation of the 10th Panchen Lama and received the title of the 11th Panchen Lama. –0–
