Qatar
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani in Doha. Addressing the 17th Al Jazeera Forum on February 7, 2026 — a three-day conference analysing Middle East geopolitical shifts — Araghchi criticised what he described as a "doctrine of domination" enabling Israel to enhance its military capacity while advocating for regional disarmament of other nations. His comments coincided with Iran's latest nuclear discussions with the United States, following the breakdown of earlier talks when Israel initiated an unprecedented bombing campaign against Iran last June, leading to a 12-day conflict.

Palestine
Tents housing displaced Palestinians stand amid destroyed and heavily damaged buildings in the Muqusi area of Gaza City. According to the Ministry of Health, Israeli forces have killed at least 576 Palestinians and wounded 1,543 in Gaza since the October 10 "ceasefire". The ministry reports that the total death toll during Israel's genocidal war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, has reached 72,027, with 171,651 people injured. [Omar Al-Qattaa/AFP]
Syria
Syrian government forces have entered the northeastern city of Qamishli, a key Kurdish-majority stronghold of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), following a ceasefire agreement. Military vehicles were seen driving along city roads as troops moved in. The deal ends weeks of escalating tensions and armed clashes with advancing government forces, establishing a framework for the SDF's integration into Syria's state institutions. [Bakr Alkasem/AFP]

Nigeria
A resident stands amid the charred remnants and destroyed homes in Woro, Kwara State, after an attack that killed nearly 200 people across Nigeria's Kwara and Katsina states.

Lebanon
Smoke billows from the aftermath of an Israeli air raid on a building in the southern Lebanese village of Ain Qana. On February 2, Israel's military conducted air raids across multiple locations in southern Lebanon after announcing planned attacks on Hezbollah targets and issuing evacuation warnings for buildings in two villages. Although a November 2024 truce aimed to halt more than a year of hostilities, including two months of full-scale war between Israel and the Iran-backed group, Israel has continued with regular strikes on Lebanon while maintaining troops in five areas it considers strategically important.

Sudan
A displaced Sudanese woman carries plastic water containers at the Abu al-Naga displacement camp in Gadarif state, approximately 420km east of the capital, Khartoum. On February 5, United Nations-backed experts warned that famine is spreading throughout Sudan's western Darfur region, as the ongoing war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has left millions hungry, displaced, and without access to humanitarian assistance. Since April 2023, the conflict has killed tens of thousands of people, displaced 11 million, and created what the UN describes as one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. [AFP]
Ukraine
Amid plummeting temperatures, workers restore damaged sections of Kyiv's Darnytska combined heat and power plant following Russian air attacks. These recent attacks on Ukraine's power infrastructure have left millions without electricity, heat and water amid freezing temperatures, plunging the war-torn nation into a new humanitarian crisis.
