At least 40 people were killed and 60 were wounded in an attack on a camp for displaced civilians in Gaza, Palestinian media reported. Israeli bombs fell near the British Hospital by the entrance to Al Mawasi, a designated safe zone.

Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, held talks on Monday with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during an official visit to New Delhi. Sheikh Khaled is expected to attend a major Indian business forum today.

About 20,000 people who overstayed their visa in Dubai have applied to legalise their status, in the first seven days of the UAE's visa amnesty programme.

The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs Dubai released statistics on the initiative, which began on September 1. The department said 19,784 people filed papers, with 90 per cent of the applications completed digitally.

The campaign allows people with expired residency or tourist visas to change their status or leave the country without being fined or barred from re-entering the UAE. The amnesty will run through October.
