Former US President (39th) Jimmy Carter has died. A BBC report has confirmed the news of the death from a source close to the former president.

He breathed his last in Plains, Georgia on Sunday afternoon according to US time. He was 100 years old at the time of his death. Before his death, he was the longest-lived person to have held the office of US president so far. He had been under treatment for the past year due to serious illness.

He played a special role in establishing democracy and achieving human rights worldwide. In his early life, Carter was a peanut farmer. Later, he not only assumed the responsibility of the US head, but also won the Nobel Peace Prize. He was in power from 1977 to 1981. During this time, America made great progress economically and diplomatically though many people were disappointed with him when he left the White House. However, after winning the Nobel Prize, he regained the hearts of the countrymen.

He was born on October 1, 1924. President Carter reached the 100-point mark in October of this year.

A plane carrying 181 people crashed at Muan Airport in South Korea, killing 179 people. Only two survived.

The country's news agency Yonhap reported this information on Sunday (December 29).

The report said that the accident occurred on Sunday when a Boeing 737-800 operated by Jeju Air was landing at Muan International Airport. The plane had 175 passengers and six flight attendants from Thailand.

Meanwhile, a video of the plane skidding off the runway while landing at the airport has been circulating on social media. The video shows the plane skidding off the runway and crashing into a wall during landing.

The plane caught fire immediately after the crash.

South Korean acting President Choi Sang-mok has ordered an all-out rescue effort. His chief of staff has also called an emergency meeting to discuss the incident. The crash is believed to have been caused by a landing gear malfunction caused by a bird strike.

Israeli forces have raided the last functioning Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, arresting the hospital's director and other staff and forcibly vacating it, doctors said.

The World Health Organization said Kamal Adwan Hospital is "now empty" and that some of the remaining patients - including the critically ill - have been transferred to an Indonesian hospital in Beit Lahia, along with caregivers and health workers. The raid also shut down the last hospital in northern Gaza.

The whereabouts of Kamal Adwan's director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, and other staff are unclear, friends and colleagues told CNN.

Rawia al-Batsh, a nurse at Kamal Adwan Hospital, told CNN that "we don't know the fate of Dr. Hussam. He was threatened by the army as soon as he arrived at the hospital."

The Israeli military admitted on Saturday that it had detained Dr Abu Safia and said he was a "suspected Hamas terrorist operative."

Eid Sabbah, head of the nursing department at Kamal Adwan Hospital, told the BBC that the army had given the administration 15 minutes to evacuate patients and staff from their hospital at around 7am on Friday.

He said Israeli soldiers later entered the hospital and evacuated the remaining patients.

The Israeli military said on Friday afternoon that it was conducting a raid on the hospital area, describing it as a "Hamas stronghold."

The BBC wrote that before the raid began, Israeli soldiers had arranged for civilians, patients and medical staff to be safely evacuated from the hospital. However, the army did not say where the patients would be taken.

Dr Sabbah said: "It is dangerous because many patients are in comas. They need ventilation machines. It is very dangerous to move dying patients.

“If the army wants to evacuate these patients, they will need specialized vehicles,” he said.

Shortly afterwards, Gaza’s deputy health minister, Yousef Abu-al-Rish, told the BBC that “patients in critical condition have been taken to a hospital in Indonesia.”

“It’s not exactly a hospital,” he said. “It’s a shelter. It’s not ready for patients.”

“According to initial investigations, several important sections of the hospital were severely burned during the operation,” Nadav Shoshani, the international spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), told X-Post on Friday evening.

“According to initial investigations, several important sections of the hospital were severely burned during the operation,” he said.

“Initial investigations have not found any connection to IDF activity,” he said, adding that the fire broke out when IDF soldiers were not inside the hospital.

Hours earlier, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital said that about 50 people, including five medical staff, had been killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting the area around the hospital.

Hussam Abu Safia's statement said that Israeli warplanes targeted a building opposite the hospital, killing a pediatrician and a lab technician and their families.

The facility has come under frequent Israeli fire in recent months, and its closure has exacerbated a dire humanitarian situation in northern Gaza.

The Israeli army carried out a brutal attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. At least 50 people, including five doctors, were killed in the incident.

This information was reported in a report by Qatar-based news outlet Al-Jazeera on Saturday (December 28).

The report quoted the Gaza Health Ministry as saying that the Israeli airstrike cut off communication with the hospital. Fires have spread to several departments of the hospital. At least 50 people, including five medical staff, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a hospital building. Several others were injured.

Meanwhile, the Civil Defense reported that at least 15 people were killed in an Israeli attack on Sheikh Radwan in Gaza City.

The head of the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) was stationed at Sanaa Airport in Yemen when Israeli warplanes bombed the country. At least six people were killed.

The Israeli Defense Ministry's Rehabilitation Department said that 13,500 Israeli military officers and members have been injured so far in the Gaza-Israel conflict. Of these, 1,500 have been injured twice. 37 percent of the injured soldiers suffer from limb injuries, most of them bone injuries. In addition, about 5,200 suffer from mental illnesses.

The Israeli military continues its brutal attack on Gaza. Since Hamas' unprecedented cross-border attack on October 7, Israel has been carrying out continuous air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip. Thousands of buildings, including hospitals, schools, refugee camps, mosques, and churches, have been damaged or destroyed in the Israeli attack.

85 percent of Palestinians have been displaced by the Israeli attack. And amid severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, all of Gaza is now food insecure.

It is worth noting that at least 45,436 people have been killed in the Israeli military's attacks on Gaza so far. Another 108,038 people have been injured.

On the other hand, 1,139 people have been killed in Hamas attacks on Israel. More than 200 Israeli citizens are in captivity.
