Navalny Died from Dart Frog Toxin Poisoning, UK and Allies Claim; Gaza Hospitals Struggle Amidst War; Cricket Match Draws Huge Crowd; SailGP Crash Injures Sailors
London, UK - Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died after being poisoned with a deadly toxin found in Ecuadorian dart frogs, the UK and its allies have claimed, according to Sky News. The "barbaric" act, using a neurotoxin classified as a chemical weapon, could only have been carried out by Vladimir Putin's government, the report stated. In other news, the health system in Gaza continues to struggle amid the ongoing war, with medical personnel facing immense challenges, as reported by Al Jazeera. Meanwhile, the highly anticipated T20 World Cup cricket match between India and Pakistan is set to draw a massive crowd, and a high-speed crash at the SailGP race in Auckland, New Zealand, resulted in injuries to two sailors.
According to Sky News, the poison used in Navalny's death is 200 times stronger than morphine, and victims "suffocate in agony," as stated by Germany's foreign minister. The UK and its allies have condemned the poisoning as a grave violation.
In Gaza, the health system is decimated by the ongoing war, with healthcare workers struggling to treat patients due to limited and damaged equipment, according to Al Jazeera. The report stated that more than 1,700 healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses, and paramedics, have been killed since the war began. Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital face life-threatening conditions.
The T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan, set to take place at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, has sold out its 35,000-capacity, with millions more expected to watch on television, according to Al Jazeera. Pakistan skipper Salman Agha stated that his team was ready to face India, despite the late confirmation of the match.
In Auckland, New Zealand, a high-speed crash between yachts representing New Zealand and France occurred on the first day of the SailGP race, as reported by Al Jazeera. One sailor is in hospital with two broken legs, and another was also injured. The New Zealand team reported that Louis Sinclair was receiving treatment for compound fractures to both legs.
