U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said emergency stockpiles in Gaza are insufficient to meet the needs of people affected by recent heavy rains and urged immediate entry of winter relief supplies.

据以色列媒体报道，以色列政坛即将迎来戏剧性的一周，安全局势也可能随之发生变化。以色列总统赫尔佐格预计将于周日正式授权“正直党”党主席艾森科特组建新政府。 这一进程启动之际，外界有关变革阵营与联合妥拉犹太教党逐步达成合作的消息不断增多。据称，相关方案旨在让新政府得以组建，同时避免依赖阿拉伯政党。不过，在以色列总统府举行正式仪式前数小时，变革阵营内部已出现明显分歧，艾森科特与“以色列家园党”主席利伯曼之间的紧张关系进一步升级。此外，周六晚间新闻报道称，沙斯党主席德里已向内塔尼亚胡办公室传达信息，称自己无意拆散右翼阵营。 报道称，在周末期间举行的闭门会议上，利伯曼严厉批评艾森科特的做法。他对亲信表示：“艾森科特可以推动一项依靠阿拉伯政党支持的政府组建方案进行表决，但他最终会陷入尴尬境地。”艾森科特阵营则予以反击，直接将矛头指向利伯曼，指责他因“个人意气”破坏组建稳定执政联盟的努力。

House sales and auction clearance rates in Australia increased last week, offering initial signs of stabilization after a rate-driven downturn. Property researcher Cotality said auctions across Australia's capital cities rose 1.2% week-on-week to 1,734, and auction listings for the next seven days are expected to exceed 2,000. Sydney held 709 auctions, roughly unchanged week-on-week; Melbourne auctions climbed 18.4% to 612. Cotality said Melbourne's auction clearance rate rose by nearly 10 percentage points week-on-week, boosting the national reading. The firm said the latest data suggest the market may be finding a bottom as buyers start to re-enter amid falling prices; the downturn had been viewed as potentially one of the most severe in decades.
