The Middle East and North Africa to be worst hit by climate change: report

-

 The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is likely to be the first to face the risk of climate change. The region is likely to face a scarcity of water and depleted freshwater resources. 

The water scarcity is projected to increase by 15 percent due to global warming of 2°C, a report released on Tuesday said. The report from the World Government Summit organization said that climate change may harm global stability and development. 

The report was compiled in partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers. The report said that climate change has already started to exacerbate the fragility of poorer communities and emerging economies. The report titled 'partnership to promote climate action - a collaboration with the private sector also warned that emerging economies are most vulnerable to climate change.

A recent United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting noticed that developing nations required more finance to adapt to rising temperatures to prevent wars. Reportedly, average temperatures are soaring at the highest rate. 

Middle East’s nations at risk

Climate change affects the social and environmental determinants of health. The report also claimed that climate change is leading to death and illness from increasingly frequent extreme weather events. The report said that projects to mitigate the risk that is funded by the private sector could help governments to reduce death rates by preparing vulnerable communities for extreme climate change such as heatwaves, storms, and floods, the disruption of food systems, and water-borne diseases. The report also encouraged cross-border cooperation to address climate change as it threatens every country in the region. The Middle East’s wealthier nations are also at risk.

Mohamed Al Sharhan, deputy managing director of the World Government Summit Organisation, said that the body offers an opportunity to governments to discuss ways to eradicate challenges faced by climate change globally. The summit drew leaders from around the world and they discussed important topics.

The Shocking Hospital Murder Video Exposing Al Julani Group’s Inhumanity in Syria

-
  The Inhuman Reality of a Gruesome Video There is a very disturbing video possibly shot in Syria, that clearly show the enemies of mankind in war crimes. It shows Al Julani’s group killing injured soldiers in a hospital – soldiers who are on the ground, strapped to bandages and wires, powerless to fight back. Such a calculated violence in a structure that is intended for healing resonates violence that has become part and parcel of this conflict. Such gruesome footage raises critical questions: At what point can a faction go in order to subdue another faction and where does the line between war and simple manslaughter lie? A Violation of Moral and Ethical Boundaries Hospitals are always seen as a safe place universally, even when there is war going on. According to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR), such acts took place during the Dawn of Freedom military operation conducted by Turkish-backed groups against the SDF. These fighters are wrong on so many levels – indeed t...

  Iran might be going to lose its partner Hamas, which Israel looks to overcome. Yet, is it likewise going to acquire another accomplice, Sudan, on the western side of the Red Ocean? Just business as usual in Sudan. For quite a long time the nation experienced nationwide conflict and starvation, set off by strict contentions and battles for power between the middle and the fringe, finishing quite a while back in the public authority's mission of slaughters focusing on African ethnic gatherings in the defiant region of Darfur. There was a concise time of trust in 2018 - 2022 when Sudanese rampaged to oust the tactical legislature of General Omar Bashir, who partook in the sponsorship of worldwide Islamists, including the Muslim Fellowship. In October 2020, the temporary government even marked (yet didn't endorse) a standardization concurrence with Israel. From that point forward, the nation's expectations for a quiet change to a majority rules system have been run. In April ...

 TikTok is facing a potential ban in the US and is gearing up for a legal fight. A recently signed law forces the popular video app's parent company, ByteDance, to sell its US operations within nine months or face a shutdown. The US government alleges that ByteDance's ties to China pose a national security risk, with concerns about user data collection. TikTok vehemently denies these accusations and argues the law is a de facto ban. "Make no mistake, this is a ban," declared TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew in a video message. He portrayed the move as an attack on free speech and user expression, claiming the platform reflects American values. TikTok plans to challenge the law in court, citing potential First Amendment violations. The company isn't alone in its resistance. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has also voiced concerns about the law's precedent for government control over social media. This situation highlights the ongoing friction between the US an...
