추석 의료대란 위기에도… 尹-韓, 해법 없이 갈등만

일반 병원이 쉬는 추석 연휴에 경증 환자까지 응급실로 몰리면서 ‘의료 대란’이 발생할 수 있다는 우려가 커지고 있는데도 대통령실과 여당이 실질적 해법을 내놓지 못하고 있다. 오히려 국민의힘 한동훈 대표가 제안한 ‘2026학년 의대 정원 증원 보류’ 중재안을 둘러싸고 대통령실과 한 대표 측이 충돌하는 양상을 보이는 가운데 대통령실은 30일로 예정됐던 윤석열 대통령과 한 대표 등 당 지도부 간 만찬을 돌연 추석 연휴 이후로 연기했다. 국민 건강 및 민생과 직결되는 의료공백 사태가 최대 고비를 맞았음에도 갈등을 조정하고 해결책을 제시해야 할 여권이 책임을 방기하고 있다는 비판의 목소리가 커지고 있다. 대통령실은 28일 한 대표의 중재안과 관련해 “대안이라기보다는 의사 수 증원을 하지 말자는 얘기 같다”며 “폄하하는 것은 아니지만 현실적이지 않다”며 거부 의사를 분명히 했다. 대통령실 고위 관계자는 기자들과 만나 “2026학년도 정원은 4월 말 공표됐고 현재 고2에 해당하는 학생 수험생

北, 잠수함 13척 IMO에 첫 등록했다가 하루 만에 철회

북한이 잠수함 13척을 국제해사기구(IMO)에 최초 등록했다가, 관련 보도가 나온 지 하루 만에 철회한 것으로 나타났다. 29일 미국의소리(VOA)에 따르면 IMO 국제통합해운정보시스템(GSIS)에 등록됐던 북한 잠수함 13척은 전날 오후 일제히 삭제됐다. 잠수함에 부여했던 IMO 고유 식별번호를 GSIS에서 검색해도 ‘없는 선박’이라는 안내가 나온다. 같은 날 오전까지만 해도 잠수함 등록 정보가 남아있었다. 앞서 VOA는 전날 북한의 ‘상어2급’ 1~11호, 신포급인 ‘8.24 영웅함’, 신포 C급인 ‘김군옥영웅함’ 등 총 13척이 GSIS에 등재됐다고 보도했다. 잠수함에는 각각 IMO 고유 식별번호가 부여됐다. 등록 주체는 ‘조선 정부 해군’(Korea North Govt Naval Force)으로 표기됐다. 북한은 잠수함 70여척을 보유하고 있으며, IMO에 등록한 건 이번이 처음이었다. 과거 군함을 등록한 사례는 몇 차례 있었다. 잠수함 정보는 삭제했지만, 이를 제외한 다른 북한 선박

북한, 처음으로 중국 영화·드라마도 시청 금지 지시

북한이 최근 중국의 영화, 드라마 등을 불순 녹화물 목록에 올렸으며 중국의 역사관에 대한 내부 강연녹음도 듣지 말라고 지시한 것이 확인됐다고 미 자유아시아방송(RFA)이 28일(현지시각) 보도했다. 최근 북한 당국이 지정한 불순 녹화물 목록에 남한 노래와 영화, 드라마뿐 아니라 중국 영화와 드라마도 포함된 것으로 전해졌다. 함경남도의 한 주민 소식통은 “지난난 5월 말~6월 초 내려온 불순 녹화물 목록에 남한 배우 김연자의 북한 공연 노래를 비롯한 남한 노래와 영화는 물론 인도, 러시아 및 중국 TV 연속극과 영화가 수십 편 포함돼 있었다”고 밝혔다. 그는 “중국 녹화물의 금지 목록이 나온 것은 처음”이라고 덧붙였다. 시청 금지 목록에 포함된 중국 영상은 ‘양산백과 축영대’, ‘남자의 매력’, ‘상해에 온 사나이’, ‘무예전’, ‘형사경찰’ 등으로 홍콩 혹은 중국에서 제작된 영화나 드라마들이다. 북한에서는 안 본 사람을 찾기 어려울 정도로 인기가 높았던 작품들이다. 소식통은 “한국 영화

Deadly Israeli raids in West Bank as Gaza war rages on

Israel launched a large-scale operation Wednesday in the occupied West Bank, where the army said it killed Palestinian fighters, as the nearly 11-month-old Gaza war showed no signs of abating. The military said its forces killed nine militants while the Palestinian Red Crescent reported 10 deaths in the West Bank, where violence has surged during the war sparked by Gaza rulers Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel. The war has killed more than 40,000 people in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry, and caused widespread destruction and displacement. Early Wednesday, Israel launched coordinated raids across four northern West Bank cities -- Jenin, Nablus, Tubas and Tulkarem -- where the military has focused much of its recent operations against armed groups. Columns of armoured vehicles entered two refugee camps, in Tulkarem and Tubas, as well as Jenin. By midday, they were blocking entrances to the towns and camps, AFP photographers said, with soldiers firing at the camps from which gunfire and explosions were heard. The Red Crescent said Israeli forces killed 10 people and wounded 22 others in the raids. The medical organisation's West Bank chief Younes al-Khatib said ambulances came under Israel fire and «one of our staffers was hit». Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas cut short a visit to Saudi Arabia and headed home to «follow up on the latest developments in light of the Israeli aggression», Palestinian official media said. Jordan's King Abdullah II told visiting US lawmakers a Gaza truce was needed «to stop the cycle of violence in the region», according to a royal statement. Violence meanwhile raged in the Gaza Strip, where the civil defence agency reported at least 12 dead in Israeli strikes, and in Lebanon where the Israeli military said it killed a «significant» Palestinian militant. Mediation efforts seeking an end to the Gaza war continued in Qatar where an Israeli delegation was present Wednesday, said a source close to the negotiations. - Israeli minister declares 'war' - In the West Bank, a Tulkarem municipality official told AFP the scale of the destruction was «very big». Israeli forces «attacked the infrastructure, in particular in the city of Tulkarem and the Nur Shams camp» and «destroyed» water and sewage systems, Hakim Abu Safiyeh said. Israeli bulldozers dug up asphalt from the streets, with the army saying it was looking for roadside bombs. A spokesman said troops were exchanging fire with militants. The army reported no casualties on its side. The military carries out daily raids in the West Bank, occupied by Israel since 1967, but it is rare for these to happen in multiple cities simultaneously. Wednesday's operation, according to army spokesman Nadav Shoshani, was not «extremely different» from regular activity. But Foreign Minster Israel Katz said the military was «operating in full force since last night» in what he called «a war» aiming to «dismantle Iranian-Islamic terror infrastructure». In a post on X, he accused Iran -- Israel's main regional foe which backs Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon -- of seeking to «establish an eastern front against Israel» in the West Bank. Since October 7, Israeli troops or settlers have killed more than 650 Palestinians in the West Bank, according to an AFP tally based on Palestinian health ministry figures, and Palestinian attacks have killed at least 19 Israelis, officials say. The United States on Wednesday announced sanctions on an Israeli settler group that the State Department said was involved in violence against Palestinians and had a role in the forced displacement of some 250 villagers earlier this year. The UN Human Rights Office said the latest Israeli raids risk «deepening the already catastrophic situation» in the West Bank. - Fleeing Gaza hospital - Last week, the army announced it had killed a senior Palestinian militant in Lebanon, accusing him of «directing attacks and smuggling weapons» to the West Bank. Islamic Jihad, a Palestinian Islamist movement allied with Hamas which has a strong presence in the northern West Bank, early Wednesday denounced an «open war» by Israel. «With this aggression... the occupier wants to impose a new state of affairs on the ground to annex the West Bank,» a statement said. Israel's military later said a strike in the Syria-Lebanon border area killed a «significant» Islamic Jihad operations officer. A Syrian war monitor reported four dead. Hamas late Tuesday reiterated a call for Palestinians in the West Bank to «rise up» following widely condemned comments by a far-right Israeli minister. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, a settler and proponent of West Bank annexation, said he would build a synagogue at Jerusalem's flashpoint Al-Aqsa mosque compound if he could. In Gaza, Palestinians were on the move following Israeli evacuation orders. One of the latest targeted the area around Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Hospital in Deir el-Balah, from which «nearly 650 patients have fled», Doctors Without Borders said. The charity said it «opened a field hospital and started receiving patients amid a severe lack of supplies and resources». Hamas's October 7 attack resulted in the deaths of 1,199 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures. Israel's retaliatory military campaign has killed at least 40,534 people in Gaza, according to the territory's health ministry. The UN rights office says most of the dead are women and children. The remains of Shaked Dahan, an Israeli soldier killed on October 7, have been recovered from Gaza, his family's hometown said Wednesday. He was one of 251 people seized by Palestinian militants during the attack, 103 of whom are still captive in Gaza including 33 the military says are dead. © Agence France-Presse

WHO says droplets a 'minor' route of mpox transmission

The WHO on Tuesday said droplets were a minor route of transmission for mpox compared to physical contact, adding that more research was needed to understand how the outbreak is spreading. The World Health Organization declared an international emergency over mpox on August 14, concerned by the surge in cases of the Clade 1b strain in the Democratic Republic of Congo and its spread to nearby countries. The UN health agency says on its website that mpox spreads between people mainly through close physical contact with someone who has the virus. «Close contact includes skin-to-skin (such as touching or sex) and mouth-to-mouth, or mouth-to-skin contact (such as kissing),» it says. It can also include «being face-to-face with someone who has mpox (such as talking or breathing close to one another, which can generate infectious respiratory particles)». WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris said Tuesday that if a person with the virus had lesions, «if you're talking closely to someone, breathing on them, physically close, face-to-face, there is a possibility» of viral spread, «but this is a minor source». Instead, «what we're seeing is the close, physical skin-to-skin» contact as the chief route of transmission, she told a briefing in Geneva. «When you're talking to somebody, you're spitting out droplets,» but «it's not a very major form of transmission -- and it's not a... through-the-air, long-distance sort of transmission». «More research is needed to fully understand the transmission dynamics,» Harris added. The WHO recommends the use of facemasks for those with mpox, their close contacts and health workers treating them. - Studies into new strain - There are two subtypes of mpox: Clade 1, endemic in the Congo Basin in central Africa; and Clade 2, endemic in West Africa. The surge in the DR Congo is being driven by surges of two different Clade 1 strains. The first is an outbreak in northwest DRC of what was previously known as Clade 1, now called Clade 1a. The second, in northeastern DRC, is a new offshoot of Clade 1 called Clade 1b, which was first detected in September last year and is spreading rapidly. The spread of Clade 1b, and its detection in nearby countries, were the main reasons behind the WHO sounding its top emergency alarm. Clade 1 mpox is known to be more virulent than Clade 2 mpox and has a higher fatality rate. As for whether Clade 1b is more dangerous than Clade 1a, Harris said: «We don't have that data.» «Studies are under way to understand the properties of the new strain. But available epidemiological data doesn't really suggest that the clade 1b variant causes more severe cases and deaths.» The WHO said Tuesday that it needed $87.4 million from September to February to implement its plans to contain the mpox outbreak. Meanwhile the UN refugee agency warned that displacement camps in the DRC and other impacted countries in Africa could be severely affected. «Without additional, urgent support, the recently declared mpox outbreak could become devastating for refugees and displaced communities,» said UNHCR's public health chief Allen Maina. He said implementing mpox prevention measures among those fleeing violence was a «tremendous challenge», with people driven into overcrowded shelters with poor sanitation, while others were cut off from humanitarian assistance. © Agence France-Presse
