UN warned Friday that «many more will die» in Gaza from catastrophic shortages after nearly three weeks of bombardment by Israel in response to Hamas staging the deadliest attack in its history. As the conflict raged into its 21st day, the Israeli army said its soldiers backed by fighter jets and drones mounted a land incursion into the Gaza Strip, as it prepares for a ground offensive. Concern is growing about regional fallout from the conflict, with the United States warning Iran against escalation while striking facilities in Syria it says were used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and others. Israel has heavily bombarded Gaza since Hamas gunmen stormed across the border on October 7, killing 1,400 people, mostly civilians, kidnapping more than 220 others, according to Israeli officials. The health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip says the strikes have killed more than 7,000 people, mainly civilians and many of them children, leading to growing calls for protection of innocents caught up in the conflict. «People in Gaza are dying, they are not only dying from bombs and strikes, soon many more will die from the consequences of (the) siege imposed on the Gaza Strip,» Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), told reporters in Jerusalem. Israel has cut supplies of food, water and power to Gaza, notably blocking all deliveries of fuel saying it would be exploited by Hamas to manufacture weapons and explosives. «Basic services are crumbling, medicine is running out, food and water are running out, the streets of Gaza have started overflowing with sewage,» he said of the devastated territory where around 45 percent of all housing has been damaged or destroyed,

White House Commission for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Affairs (AANHPI) has approved a recommendation to issue employment authorization cards and travel documents at the initial stage of Green Card applications. If approved by US President Joe Biden, this proposal would provide much-needed relief to countless foreign professionals, especially Indians who face Green Card wait times stretching into decades. The recommendation suggests that the US Department of Homeland Security's US Citizenship and Immigration Services (DHS USCIS) should grant EADs and travel documents to individuals with approved I-140 employment-based visa petitions in the EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3 categories, who have been waiting in the visa backlog for five or more years, regardless of their adjustment of status application status. The Green Card, also known as the Permanent Resident Card, is a crucial document granting immigrants the privilege of residing in the United States permanently. The Green Card application process involves multiple stages, beginning with employers filing I-140 applications, followed by the adjustment of status (I-485). At the I-485 stage, applicants currently receive their Employment Authorization Card (EAD) and Advance Parole travel documents, enabling them to work for any employer until their Green Card application is fully processed. This recommendation was proposed by Ajay Jain Bhutoria, a prominent Indian American community leader and a member of the White House Commission for AANHPI. The validity of these EAD and travel documents should extend until the final stage of their Green Card application is processed. This recommendation has been accepted by the Commission.
