With replicas of missiles on display and effigies of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu hanging from a crane, thousands of Iranians commemorated on Tuesday the 1979 storming of the US embassy in Tehran.

Five months after a brief war with Israel that saw the US join in with strikes on key nuclear facilities, demonstrators chanted "Death to America, death to Israel!" and sang revolutionary songs in a particularly charged outing for the annual event.

(Reuters) -At a clinic in Sudan's North Darfur where dozens of bony children lie on cots and men with bandaged wounds await surgery, patients described a desperate escape from the city of al-Fashir as it was captured last week by a paramilitary force.

They are among up to 10,000 people who arrived in the town of Tawila after fleeing the capture of nearby al-Fashir by the Rapid Support Forces, and are now being treated at the clinic run by international aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres.

Thousands of visitors streamed through the Grand Egyptian Museum on Tuesday as almost the entire collection of King Tutankhamun's treasures -- over 4,500 artefacts -- was displayed together for the first time since the young pharaoh's tomb was discovered in 1922.

Curated and conserved over nearly two decades, the collection was unveiled to the public two days after the museum's lavish opening ceremony on Saturday.

CAIRO/GENEVA (Reuters) -Far too little aid is reaching Gaza nearly four weeks after a ceasefire, humanitarian agencies said on Tuesday, as hunger persists with winter approaching and old tents start to fray following Israel's devastating two-year offensive.

The truce was meant to unleash a torrent of aid across the tiny, crowded enclave where famine was confirmed in August and where almost all the 2.3 million inhabitants have lost their homes to Israeli bombardment.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) -Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has cast himself as the leader who can finally make the country a success after years of instability, and has moved against established parties that brought him to power as he seeks a second term.

Buoyed by signs of rising public support ahead of a November 11 parliamentary election, an increasingly confident Sudani is running against key members of a grouping of parties and armed groups that originally tapped him for the job.

TUNIS (Reuters) -Tunisia has repatriated about 10,000 irregular migrants so far this year, most of them from sub-Saharan African countries, Foreign Minister Mohamed Ali Nafti said on Tuesday, as the North African country faces pressure from the European Union to stem crossings across the Mediterranean.

Nafti told lawmakers that the repatriations were carried out through a voluntary return program coordinated with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), with weekly flights arranged to help migrants return home.

Dick Cheney, arguably the most powerful vice president in US history as George W. Bush's number two during the September 11, 2001, attacks and ensuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, died Monday. He was 84.

Cheney forged an influential role in the traditionally inconsequential job and was a major power behind the throne as Bush thrust the United States into the so-called "war on terror," with a dark underbelly of renditions, torture and the Guantanamo prison site.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) -India is ramping up aid to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan and branding itself as the region's "first responder" after Monday's deadly earthquake, seeking to counter China's efforts to fill the void left by the West, officials and analysts said.

Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar was among the first to call his Taliban counterpart Amir Khan Muttaqi on Monday, pledging more support after New Delhi shipped 15 tons of food. Medical supplies would follow soon, he said, as his ministry promoted the hashtag #IndiaFirstResponder on X.

(Reuters) -Dick Cheney, a driving force behind the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, was considered by presidential historians as one of the most powerful vice presidents in U.S. history.

He died at age 84 on Monday from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease, his family said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Republican - a former Wyoming congressman and secretary of defense - was already a major Washington player when then-Texas governor George W. Bush chose him to be his running mate in the 2000 presidential race that Bush went on to win.

BERLIN (Reuters) -Syrians no longer have grounds for asylum in Germany now the civil war in their country is over, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said, as his conservatives seek to fend off a surging far-right ahead of a slew of state elections next year.

Germany was the EU country that took in the largest number of refugees from the 14-year-long Syrian civil war due to former Chancellor Angela Merkel's open-door policy, with around one million Syrians living in the country today.
