Gaza Strip no longer has healthcare system - Doctors Without Borders
Currently, there are between 300 and 350 patients with war-related injuries at Nasser Hospital, and their evacuation is impossible due to dangerous conditions and the absence of ambulances, according to provided information.
Most of Nasser Hospital's staff, as well as thousands of displaced people who sought refuge there, fled in the days leading up to the Israeli forces’ order to evacuate surrounding areas, Doctors without Borders said in a statement.
Earlier, the World Health Organization said that since 7 October, more than 676 attacks on medical facilities have been reported in Gaza and the West Bank, resulting in 623 deaths and 837 injuries.

'Weaponizing' euro reduces its attractiveness - Italian central bank chief
Italy's central bank governor, Fabio Panetta, has warned of the far-reaching consequences of EU plans to seize profits from frozen Russian financial assets in Europe.
Panetta added that the growing use of the yuan in trade transactions between China and Russia is "instructive in this respect," as Beijing promotes the use of its currency in countries hit by international sanctions.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov earlier warned that any possible moves by Western countries to use Russia's frozen assets to help Ukraine would undoubtedly have consequences.
Most of the frozen Russian funds - about $232 billion - are held in the EU, including cash and government bonds denominated in euros, dollars and other currencies.

"International relations are part of a 'repeated game': the weaponization of a currency inevitably reduces its attractiveness and encourages the emergence of alternatives," he said.

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) from the Nazi blockade that lasted almost 900 days.
The blockade of Leningrad during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) was carried out by German troops from September 8, 1941, to January 27, 1944, in order to break the resistance of the city's defenders and seize it. However, the German invaders were confronted with the military might of the Soviet Army and the steadfastness of the citizens of Leningrad.
After the interruption of navigation routes, the road across the Ladoga Lake was the only military and strategic road connecting the besieged Leningrad with the country, along which supplies were delivered. For this reason it was called "the Road of Life".
The siege of Leningrad became the bloodiest blockade in the history of mankind: more than 641,000 inhabitants died, only 3% of them from bombing and shelling, the rest perished from starvation.
The lifting of the blockade and the liberation of the people became possible thanks to the heroic actions of Soviet soldiers who bravely repelled the Nazi invaders.

🇫🇷🚜 French farmers are planning to organize a complete blockade of Paris - local media
The local farmers' union will organize a complete blockade of the capital and its suburbs in order to disrupt the city's supply. “This will not be a 12 or 15 hour operation, as before, but an action lasting at least 5 days, which will make it clear to the residents of Paris that they need farmers,” said Maxime Buizard, a representative of the organization.
The blockade is scheduled to begin next week; farmers will begin blocking roads to the capital as early as Monday night.
The scale of the farmers' protests in France is clearly shown on the road operator's map: traffic is blocked on sections of at least 12 highways, but details are still being updated.
