Ukraine points fingers at Russia. Asking for the demilitarization of the Soviet-era plant, they insist on its handover to peacekeeping forces.

The assessment by Intergovernmental Authority on Development, or IGAD, is one of the most dire yet as United Nations agencies, humanitarian groups and others continue to raise alarm over the region's food crisis that many say has been largely neglected as the international community focuses on the war in Ukraine. Also read: When Paddy Hopkirk got fan mail from the Beatles after winning Monte Carlo,That assessment applies to seven member states of IGAD, from Djibouti to Uganda. Samantha Power, the administrator of the United States Agency for International Development, is travelling in East Africa to spotlight the hunger crisis in the region. In Kenya's capital Nairobi on Friday, Power announced at least $255 million in drought-related humanitarian and development support to Kenya. She is expected to visit Ethiopia and Somalia, where some communities have suffered four consecutive failed rainy seasons. Also read: Salman Khan applies for gun licence after death threat: Report,Power earlier in the week spoke of the need to prevent the global food crisis from becoming a catastrophe, announcing $1.2 billion in funding that includes immediate food assistance for people in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya. In addition to immediate humanitarian aid, the international community must sustain investment in global agriculture and undertake concerted diplomacy so that we mobilise more resources from donors, avoid export restrictions that can exacerbate the crisis, and lessen the burden on poor countries, Power said in a speech Monday at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Also read: Twitter reports quarterly loss in revenue, blames Elon Musk,Aid groups and other watchdogs have been calling for more funds to be devoted to East Africa after the war in Ukraine grabbed the world's attention and money. Three million people face emergency and catastrophic levels of hunger, risking death, the International Rescue Committee said in a statement Tuesday, noting that people have already started dying from starvation and the window to prevent mass deaths is rapidly closing. Even if the new US funding is fulfilled, the humanitarian response plan for the region would be funded at 40% of the assessed need, the group warned. After just over three months, the $1.9 billion appeal for the humanitarian response in Ukraine was 85% funded — a demonstration of the capacity for resource mobilisation when the political will exists. Also read: Gun violence in Rochester: What's new in state gun laws, how would it impact public safety,Power has criticised China for allegedly contributing just $3 million to the UN World Food Program this year, while the US has given $3.9 billion this financial year. China and other nations “must go above and beyond as we work to prevent famine,” she said on Twitter. Somalia, a country that continues to grapple with armed conflict wrought by an Islamic extremist insurgency, is seen as particularly vulnerable. A weak humanitarian response to the 2010-12 drought was in part to blame as a quarter-million people died during famine conditions. Half of them were children. Somalis walk for days through parched landscapes to places like Mogadishu, the capital, in search of aid but find that there is little or nothing. Also read: Rochester, New York police shooting: Mayor reacts to 'tragic gun violence',The number of people going hungry in Somalia due to drought has nearly doubled since the start of the year, according to the IRC, which saw a 265% increase in admissions for children under 5 with severe malnutrition at just one clinic in Mogadishu between April and May. There is a risk of famine in eight areas of Somalia through September in the event of widespread crop and livestock production failures, spiralling food costs, and in the absence of scaled-up humanitarian assistance, the assessment by IGAD said.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"0.3476","longitude":"32.5825","name":"Kampala, Uganda","city":"Kampala"},"keywords":"Somalia,IGAD,Kenya,East Africa,Ethiopia,Ukraine,US,China,Mogadishu,East African,South Sudan,Intergovernmental Authority on Development,United Nations,Djibouti,Uganda","originalPublishedOn":"2022-07-22T23:40:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"RHvXXxmkOSt5","slug":"english/court-in-united-nations-to-hear-rohingya-case-rejects-myanmar-claims","slugV2":"world/court-in-united-nations-to-hear-rohingya-case-rejects-myanmar-claims-707613/","title":"Court in United Nations to hear Rohingya case, rejects Myanmar claims","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_k0yzZu6D6.jpg","coverCaption":"Pro-Rohingya demonstrators hold banners outside the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands.

The World Population Prospects 2022 by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division, said that the global population is projected to reach eight billion on November 15, 2022. The global population is growing at its slowest rate since 1950, having fallen under one per cent in 2020. The latest projections by the United Nations suggest that the world’s population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050. It is projected to reach a peak of around 10.4 billion people during the 2080s and to remain at that level until 2100. “This year’s World Population Day (July 11) falls during a milestone year, when we anticipate the birth of the Earth’s eight billionth inhabitant. This is an occasion to celebrate our diversity, recognise our common humanity, and marvel at advancements in health that have extended lifespans and dramatically reduced maternal and child mortality rates,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres said. “At the same time, it is a reminder of our shared responsibility to care for our planet and a moment to reflect on where we still fall short of our commitments to one another,” he added. The report said that India is projected to surpass China as the world’s most populous country during 2023.” The world’s two most populous regions in 2022 were Eastern and South-Eastern Asia, with 2.3 billion people, representing 29 per cent of the global population, and Central and Southern Asia, with 2.1 billion, representing 26 per cent of the total world population. China and India accounted for the largest populations in these regions, with more than 1.4 billion each in 2022. More than half of the projected increase in global population up to 2050 will be concentrated in just eight countries of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines and Tanzania. Disparate population growth rates among the world’s largest countries will change their ranking by size: for example, India is projected to surpass China as the world’s most populous country in 2023,” the report said. According to the report, India’s population stands at 1.412 billion in 2022, compared to China’s 1.426 billion. India, which will surpass China as the world’s most populous nation by 2023, is projected to have a population of 1.668 billion in 2050, way ahead of China’s 1.317 billion people by the middle of the century. The report added that it is estimated that ten countries experienced a net outflow of more than 1 million migrants between 2010 and 2021. In many of these countries, these outflows were due to temporary labour movements, such as for Pakistan (net outflow of -16.5 million during 2010-2021), India (-3.5 million), Bangladesh (-2.9 million), Nepal (-1.6 million) and Sri Lanka (-1 million). In other countries, including the Syrian Arab Republic (-4.6 million), Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) (-4.8 million), and Myanmar (-1 million), insecurity and conflicts have driven the net outflow of migrants over the decade. Global life expectancy at birth reached 72.8 years in 2019, an improvement of almost 9 years since 1990. Further reductions in mortality are projected to result in an average global longevity of around 77.2 years in 2050. Yet in 2021, life expectancy for the least developed countries lagged 7 years behind the global average. Alternative long-term population projections have also been undertaken by the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). In its recent projections, IHME projected that the global population will reach 8.8 billion in 2100 with a range of 6.8 billion to 11.8 billion. The main difference between the projections released by IHME and the United Nations lies in the assumptions on the future level of fertility. The report said that IHME projects that the global level of fertility will decline faster than under the United Nations medium scenario. According to IHME, the average number of children per woman will decline to 1.66 children at the end of the century while the United Nations projects fertility to be around 1.84 at the same date. In India, IHME projects a total fertility rate of 1.29 births per woman in 2100 instead of 1.69 in the United Nations medium scenario, resulting in a population that is 433 million smaller than according to the United Nations projections at the end of the century. The share of the global population at ages 65 and above is projected to rise from 10 per cent in 2022 to 16 per cent in 2050. At that point, it is expected that the number of persons aged 65 years or over worldwide will be more than twice the number of children under age 5 and about the same as the number under age 12. “Countries with ageing populations should take steps to adapt public programmes to the growing numbers of older persons, including by establishing universal health care and long-term care systems and by improving the sustainability of social security and pension systems,” it said. The report noted that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected all three components of population change. Global life expectancy at birth fell to 71.0 years in 2021. In some countries, successive waves of the pandemic may have produced short-term reductions in numbers of pregnancies and births, while for many other countries, there is little evidence of an impact on fertility levels or trends. The pandemic severely restricted all forms of human mobility, including international migration.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"28.6139","longitude":"77.209","name":"New Delhi, Delhi, India","city":"New Delhi"},"keywords":"India,China,United Nations,the United Nations,Pakistan,The World Population Prospects 2022,the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs,Population Division,World Population Day,Earth,UN,Eastern,South-Eastern Asia,Central and Southern Asia,","originalPublishedOn":"2022-07-11T13:40:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"uX3Hjd8zMlA5","slug":"english/rise-in-sri-lankas-economic-crisis-should-be-warning-to-us-all-united-nations","slugV2":"world/rise-in-sri-lankas-economic-crisis-should-be-warning-to-us-all-united-nations-696439/","title":"Rise in Sri Lanka's economic crisis should be warning to us all: United Nations","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_SlP-xtkn9.jpg","coverCaption":"Sri Lankans protest outside the president's office in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

It aims to honor the courage and strength that refugees continue to showcase despite the challenging circumstances that come their way. ,It is an occasion to develop empathy and put oneself in the shoes of those who attempt to rebuild their lives after fleeing their homeland or escaping wars and conflicts. ,According to Article 1(A)(2) of the 1951 Refugee Convention, A refugee is an individual who has been forced to leave his country of nationality or habitual residence and is unable or unwilling to return for fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Every year, the United Nations comes up with a theme to celebrate World Refugee Day. This year’s theme is, “Whoever. Wherever. Whenever. Everyone has the right to seek safety, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. History,On June 4, 2000, the United Nations announced that World Refugee Day would be celebrated annually on June 17. The next year, the organization found that 2001 marked 50 years of the 1951 Refugee Convention, a landmark treaty that offered safety and rights to refugees of the Second World War, which had caused the displacement of about 40-60 million people, according to a report by CNBC. ,Also Read: Americas Summit: Biden, leaders agree on migration pact to host refugees,The United Nations then decided to observe World Refugee Day on June 20 to celebrate the convention. This date was also picked because the Organization of African Unity (OAU) had been observing African Refugee Day on the same date for several years. Both the organizations then decided to coincide the events with a common date.

Also read: What experts are saying about the monkeypox outbreak,Monkeypox is a viral virus that is common in portions of West and Central Africa. It spreads primarily through intimate contact and was rarely seen in other regions of the world before the recent outbreak, which is why the sudden rise of cases in Europe, the United States, and other areas has stirred concerns. So far, there have been approximately 300 confirmed or suspected cases in approximately 20 countries where the virus had not previously circulated. Also read: Does monkeypox need strict quarantine measures yet? Here's what US President Joe Biden said,For us, we think that the key priority currently is trying to contain this transmission in non-endemic countries, Briand said at a technical briefing for member states. She went on to say that necessary precautions included early detection and isolation of cases, as well as contact tracking. Member states should also share information on first-generation stockpiles of smallpox vaccines, which can also be used to combat monkeypox, according to Briand.

Currently, WHO officials advise against bulk immunisation, instead recommending targeted vaccination for close contacts of affected patients where accessible.

No other candidate challenged Tedros for the post amid the ongoing difficulties of responding to the devastating coronavirus pandemic. This is overwhelming, Tedros said, after another WHO official asked everyone in the room to stand and applaud him. Fighting back tears, Tedros described himself as a child of war. He said that after witnessing his younger brother's death at an early age, it was luck (that) brought me all the way here. Tedros, a former government minister from Ethiopia, has directed the World Health Organization throughout its management of the global response to COVID-19 and withstood occasionally withering criticism over its multiple missteps. He is the first African to lead the agency and the only director-general not qualified as a medical doctor. Under Tedros, the U.N. health agency failed to call out countries including China for blunders that WHO officials grumbled about privately, advised against mask-wearing for months, and said initially that the coronavirus wasn't likely to mutate rapidly. Scientists drafted by WHO to investigate the coronavirus' origins in China said the critical probe was stalled last year, after issuing a report that even Tedros acknowledged had prematurely ruled out the possibility of a laboratory leak. There have been some mishaps, but Tedros has also been a steady voice throughout the pandemic, advocating for an equitable response, said Javier Guzman, director of global health policy at the Center for Global Development in Washington. He said despite reservations about Tedros' leadership, some countries weren't willing to push for change. We are in the middle of the pandemic and there is some pressure for consistent leadership to take us through this difficult moment, Guzman said. Tedros has frequently railed against rich countries for hoarding the world's limited supply of vaccines and insisted that pharmaceuticals aren't doing enough to make their medicines available to the poor. Amid the near-universal focus on Ukraine after the Russian invasion, Tedros slammed the global community for not doing enough to solve crises elsewhere, including Yemen, Syria and Afghanistan, arguing that it was possibly because those suffering weren't white.

But last week, several WHO staffers wrote to the agency's Executive Board complaining that Kasai has been able to continue his unethical, abusive and racist conduct without any form of restriction. In an email to staff, Kasai disputed the charges. Public health expert Guzman said the apparent culture of impunity at WHO was problematic. We do need to see a stronger (WHO) director-general going forward, where misconduct is not tolerated, he said, calling for extensive reforms to make the agency accountable. As Tedros begins his second term, some experts have also raised concerns that WHO isn't fulfilling its primary role as a technical agency providing science-based guidance to countries.

According to the 'State of the Global Climate in 2021' report by the UN's World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the previous year saw record high greenhouse gas concentrations and sea level rises, while ocean acidification, ocean heat, and global average temperatures also hit record levels. Also read | International Energy Agency wants no more oil projects for the world; here’s why,Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:,1) Greenhouse gas concentrations:,Greenhouse gas concentrations in the world hit a new high in 2020, but continued to rise through 2021, reaching 419.05 ppm in April 2021, and 420.23 ppm in April 2022, the highest-ever concentration of carbon dioxide in human history. The last time carbon dioxide concentration was consistently above the 400 ppm mark was 4 million years ago. 2) Ocean acidification:,Oceans absorb approximately 23% of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions annually and the absorbed carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to raise ocean acidification.
