By Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA, May 16 (Reuters) - When an Israeli missile struck the residential block of the Nabhan family in Gaza four days ago, no one was killed, but a family with five disabled members were among 45 people made homeless. For the five siblings, three of whom are on wheel chairs and all five of whom suffer from physical disability, muscular dystrophy and convulsions, the misery was multiplied, as their wheelchairs, medicine, special beds and bathroom were buried under the rubble. The family now lives with relatives close to their old shelter. Every morning relatives carry them out as people continued to flock to the site, some showing sympathy at their harrowing experience, and others carrying gifts for the girls. "The house blew up while we were being moved out. Our wheelchairs, medicine and clothes were inside. Nothing was left," said 16-year-old Hanin, who has a disability in both legs. The others are aged 3, 18, 29 and 38. The emotional toll of losing the house seemed to have worsened the older brother's mental state, as he has become very nervous, always [https://www.google.com/search?q=shouting shouting] and sometimes crying, [https://www.centralbagels.com/ penipu] his relatives said. According to officials from Hamas, the Islamist group that controls the Gaza Strip, the latest round of Israeli air strikes, which began on May 9, have destroyed 15 residential blocks, containing more than 50 apartments. In addition, 940 [https://pixabay.com/images/search/buildings/ buildings] have been damaged, 49 beyond repair. The Israeli military says it takes every effort to [https://de.bab.la/woerterbuch/englisch-deutsch/limit%20civilian limit civilian] casualties and damage and accuses the militant group of hiding command centres and other military sites in residential areas. On May 13, Hanin's older brother Jalal received a call from a private number, but he went out to let his cousin respond as he stutters while talking. The caller was an Israeli officer who ordered them to [https://www.medcheck-up.com/?s=evacuate evacuate] the house five minutes before they bombed it. The cousin, Hussam Nabhan, 45, tried to stall with the officer, telling him the [https://www.homeclick.com/search.aspx?search=house%20included house included] disabled people, but it was all in vain, he said. "He told me you to have five minutes. We rushed to the house and found the girls lying on the ground.

"The house was the girls' shelter, they had got a disabled toilet, wheelchairs, a bed to sleep. Things that had been difficult to get, now there is nothing," Najah said. "How am I going to carry her after the wheeler was gone, also the (healthy) mattresses were gone," she added.

US CIA Chief Burns Visited China In May

By [https://www.buzzfeed.com/search?q=Michael%20Martina Michael Martina] and Trevor Hunnicutt WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) - CIA director William Burns visited China last month for talks with [https://www.biggerpockets.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=Chinese Chinese] counterparts, two U.S. officials said on Friday as Washington seeks to boost communications with Beijing. "Last month, Director Burns traveled to Beijing where he met with Chinese counterparts and emphasized the importance of maintaining open lines of communication in intelligence channels," one of the officials told Reuters. News of the visit by the head of the U.S. intelligence agency, first reported by the Financial Times, comes as President Joe Biden's administration has been pressing to maintain open lines and schedule meetings between various top officials in Washington and Beijing amid tense relations. Burns, a veteran U.S. diplomat before leading the CIA, has made dozens of sensitive overseas trips as head of the agency, including to hold talks with Russian counterparts, as well as the Taliban in Afghanistan. U.S. officials are careful to stress that his intelligence-related missions are not directly linked to U.S. diplomacy. The CIA, which does not regularly announce such visits, declined to comment on the China trip. Ties between the world's two largest economies are strained over issues ranging from Taiwan and China's human rights record to military activity in the South China Sea. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed a planned February trip to China after an alleged Chinese spy balloon flew through U.S. airspace over sensitive military sites, [https://www.ghpastaseattle.com/ bokep indonesia] kicking off a diplomatic crisis. But the White House has said efforts are continuing to facilitate visits by Blinken, as well as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. Some Biden administration critics have questioned U.S. overtures to China, arguing that past decades of engagement have failed to change its line on a range of trade, security and human rights issues. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin shook hands with China's Minister of National Defense Li Shangfu on the [https://www.accountingweb.co.uk/search?search_api_views_fulltext=sidelines sidelines] of a security summit in Singapore but the two did not have a "substantive exchange," the [https://openclipart.org/search/?query=Pentagon Pentagon] said on Friday. China earlier declined a formal meeting between Austin and Li, who is under U.S. sanctions, during the Shangri-La security summit taking place over the next few days. Separately, White [https://soundcloud.com/search/sounds?q=House%20national&filter.license=to_modify_commercially House national] security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Friday that the U.S. wanted to engage with China "without preconditions" on nuclear arms control issues, but that Beijing continued to be unwilling. "Simply put, we have not yet seen a willingness for the PRC (People's Republic of China) to compartmentalize strategic stability from broader issues in the relationship," Sullivan said in a speech at the Arms Control Association, noting that this had been the bedrock of nuclear and strategic security for [https://kscripts.com/?s=decades decades]. "That's why we're also ready to engage China without preconditions, helping ensure that competition is managed, and that competition does not veer into conflict," [https://www.tumblr.com/search/Sullivan Sullivan] said. Sullivan said he broached the issue in two days of talks in Vienna with China's top diplomat Wang Yi last month. "We'll see what the PRC chooses to do," he said.
