By Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA, May 16 (Reuters) - When an Israeli missile struck the [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?sel=site&searchPhrase=residential%20block 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, [https://helpdesk.unri.ac.id/guestticket/?sgacor=PLANET88 penipu] 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 [https://www.bbc.co.uk/search/?q=disability 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 shouting and sometimes crying, 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 [https://app.photobucket.com/search?query=destroyed destroyed] 15 residential blocks, containing more than 50 apartments. In addition, 940 buildings have been damaged, 49 beyond repair. The Israeli military says it takes every effort to limit civilian casualties and damage and [https://soundcloud.com/search/sounds?q=accuses&filter.license=to_modify_commercially accuses] the militant group of [https://www.biggerpockets.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=hiding%20command hiding command] centres and other [https://kscripts.com/?s=military%20sites military sites] in [https://kscripts.com/?s=residential 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 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.gov.uk/search/all?keywords=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. Thanks to the neighbours we have been able to take them out and we managed to leave the house by a miracle," he told Reuters. The mother, Najah, 57, said they failed to take anything from the house even the identity cards. "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. The Gaza Strip is home to 2.3 million Palestinians in cities, towns, and refugee camps squeezed within an area of 365 square km (141 square miles). Its borders are sealed off by neighbouring Israel and Egypt, citing security concerns with Hamas, which runs the territory. Several wars and a 16-year-old Israeli-led blockade have crippled the enclave's already ailing economy.

China US Commerce And Trade Chiefs To Meet Next Week

By David Brunnstrom, Michael Martina and David Lawder WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - China´s commerce minister will visit the United States next week for meetings with the commerce secretary and Washington´s top trade official, the Chinese embassy spokesperson in Washington said on Thursday, as the U.S. seeks engagement with Beijing to salve damaged ties. Liu Pengyu made the announcement at a Chinese embassy online briefing with journalists, adding that Beijing was open to communication at all levels with United States, [https://afeksi.id/gas/?tunnel=planet88+slot penipu] but only on the basis of [https://www.deer-digest.com/?s=mutual%20respect mutual respect]. The Chinese embassy later said in an emailed statement that both sides were still discussing details of the plans. A source familiar with planning for the meetings said that Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao was expected to meet with [https://www.blogrollcenter.com/?s=Commerce%20Secretary Commerce Secretary] Gina Raimondo in Washington next week before traveling to Detroit for a meeting of Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) trade [https://search.un.org/results.php?query=ministers ministers]. Wang would then meet with U.S. Trade [https://www.behance.net/search/projects/?sort=appreciations&time=week&search=Representative%20Katherine Representative Katherine] Tai on the sidelines of that gathering, scheduled for May 25-26. Spokespersons for Tai's and Raimondo's offices did not respond to requests for comment. Washington has expressed eagerness for high-level meetings with China in an effort to keep [https://www.msnbc.com/search/?q=increasingly%20tense increasingly tense] relations from veering toward conflict. President Joe Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan met China's top diplomat Wang Yi last week in Vienna, and both sides recognized the need to move beyond an alleged spy balloon incident that dented relations between the superpowers, a senior U.S. official has said. Biden has been seeking to hold a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping but neither side has offered updates on the prospects for such a call, or on the possibility of rescheduling a visit to Beijing by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Blinken postponed a planned February trip after the U.S. shot down a Chinese balloon that flew over sensitive military sites. "It is imperative for the U.S. side to adopt a correct perception of China and we hope the U.S. side will return to a rational and pragmatic China policy for the two countries to better develop themselves and prosper together," Liu told reporters. Liu said China and the U.S. should put into practice what has been agreed between Xi and Biden at their last meeting in November and properly handle sensitive issues such as Taiwan, the democratically self-governed island claimed by China. The U.S. and Taiwan on Thursday agreed on an initial trade pact, a move likely to anger China, which sees [https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/official%20engagement official engagement] by the island with other countries as a [https://www.google.com/search?q=violation&btnI=lucky violation] of its [https://sportsrants.com/?s=sovereignty sovereignty]. "China is open to communication at all levels and cooperation across the fields with the United States, but only on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit," Liu said before that trade deal was announced. He added that the U.S. should work with China to "create favorable conditions for the future interactions between the two presidents." Some Biden administration critics, including Republican lawmakers, have questioned U.S. overtures to Beijing to hold high-level meetings, arguing that past decades of engagement have failed to change China's calculus on a slate of trade, security and human rights issues. Blinken, Raimondo, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen have all expressed interest in visiting China.
