Large-scale displacement is occurring in Gaza as residents flee northern areas after Israeli forces ordered evacuations and a new offensive forced more than a quarter of a million people from Gaza City, with tens of thousands more leaving makeshift shelters daily. In Nepal, tens of thousands of mostly young protesters took to the streets opposing a social media ban and decrying corruption and nepotism, with violent clashes and a funeral for protest victim Nikitha Gautam. Widespread youth protests led to resignations and the swearing-in of Nepal's first female prime minister. Additional scenes show memorials and religious ceremonies tied to broader civic and cultural responses.
