Pope Leo says all of us are migrants during visit to Canary Islands to highlight migrant plight

Pope Leo XIV visited the Canary Islands on Thursday to draw attention to the dangerous journeys migrants take trying to reach Europe. During his two-day trip to the Spanish island of Gran Canaria, the Pope met with migrants who have crossed the Atlantic from West Africa seeking better lives in Europe. The Pope emphasized that migrants should not be treated as statistics or cases. He told the crowd, "You are not mere statistics or files; you are human beings." He bowed in respect to their inherent dignity and called for a humane and welcoming approach to migration. In Arguineguín, a southern port that migrants frequently use, Pope Leo stressed the urgent need for legal and safe pathways for migration. He urged Europe to avoid becoming desensitized to its seas turning into unmarked graves and to recognize that countless people risk […]

35 Million Nigerians Risk Acute Hunger in Coming Months UN

Nearly 35 million Nigerians are at risk of acute hunger in the coming months as the United Nations warns of one of the worst food insecurity crises in the country's recent history. The UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Mohamed Malick Fall, disclosed this at the launch of the 2026 Nigeria Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan in Abuja stating approximately 35 million people may face food insecurity during the upcoming lean season. Among those at risk, an estimated 3 million children face life-threatening severe acute malnutrition, according to the most recent Cadre Harmonisé food security assessment that is equivalent to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification for West and Central Africa.

Gaza Families Face Rising Pest and Health Crisis

A mother in the Gaza Strip has described a terrifying night when her young daughter was attacked by a wild animal inside their makeshift shelter, as worsening sanitation conditions fuel a growing public health crisis across the territory. Samah al-Daabla told the BBC that her four-year-old daughter, Mayaseen, began screaming at around 2am. When her husband switched on a torch, a weasel reportedly fled the scene. The child’s hand was badly injured and covered in blood, leaving the family in shock. Mayaseen was later taken to a hospital in Gaza City, where she received a tetanus injection. She experienced several days of fever and vomiting but is now recovering in the family’s tent. The incident reflects a wider crisis in Gaza, where displaced families are living in overcrowded camps with limited access to sanitation, clean water, and waste removal services. […]

Iran envoy urges global action on Palestinian crisis

Iran’s ambassador has called for urgent, coordinated international action to address what Tehran describes as a deepening humanitarian and political crisis facing the Palestinian people.​ Speaking against the backdrop of the ongoing Israel–Palestine war and wider strikes in the region, the envoy urged Muslim and non Muslim nations, especially members of the Non Aligned Movement, to speak out more forcefully against Israeli military operations and the blockade on Gaza. He argued that silence or “neutrality” in the face of rising civilian casualties amounts to complicity. The ambassador called on the United Nations Security Council and General Assembly to move beyond statements and adopt “urgent, collective measures” to halt attacks on civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, ensure accountability for alleged war crimes and guarantee the delivery of humanitarian aid. He also pressed for sustained funding for UNRWA and other […]

Colombia sends troops to Venezuela border after US strikes

Colombian President Gustavo Petro says he has ordered the deployment of military forces to the country’s border with Venezuela following U.S. attacks that Washington says led to the capture of President Nicolás Maduro.​Petro described the U.S. action as an assault on Latin America’s sovereignty and warned it could trigger a humanitarian crisis, even as he called for the situation to be resolved through dialogue.​ In posts on social media, the Colombian leader said security forces have been mobilised along the frontier to guard against possible spillover violence and to prepare for any refugee flows from neighbouring Venezuela.​Defence Minister Iván Velásquez (reported as Pedro Sanchez in some dispatches) said all available capacities have been activated to prevent any attempted terrorist attacks by illegal armed groups operating in the border region, including the ELN.​ Despite the announcement, reporters observed normal conditions at […]

Gazans fear new displacement after Israeli strikes

Residents of southern Gaza say they fear being pushed from their homes again after new Israeli strikes hit neighbourhoods near a demarcation known as the Yellow Line. The line, east of Khan Yunis, was created under a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas and marks an area where Israeli troops still control movement through checkpoints.​ Tens of thousands of Gazans still live in tents or damaged houses in communities close to the Yellow Line more than two years into the war. Many now worry that continued bombardment is an attempt to force them to move westward into already overcrowded camps where food, water and basic supplies are scarce.​ “We do not sleep at night because of fear. The bombardments in the east are relentless,” said Umm Ahmed, a 40 year old mother from Bani Suheila whose home was destroyed earlier […]

US Says Rwanda Breaching Congo Peace Deal With Support For M23 Rebels

The United States has accused Rwanda of breaching a newly agreed peace deal aimed at ending hostilities in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo by continuing to support the M23 rebel movement. The accusation comes only days after Washington announced it had helped broker an accord between Kinshasa and Kigali to reduce tensions.​ US and UN officials say M23 has launched fresh attacks in parts of eastern Congo with backing from Rwandan forces. Reports indicate that Rwandan troops, weapons and logistical support have enabled the rebels to gain ground in mineral rich areas of South Kivu and neighbouring provinces.​ International and regional sources cited in media reports say more than 400 people have been killed since the latest escalation began, including civilians and combatants on both sides. An estimated 200,000 people have been newly displaced by the violence, adding to millions […]

Sudan Conflict: US Calls for End to Weapons Supply to RSF Over Atrocities

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has demanded urgent international action to cut off weapons supplies to Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), following reports of systematic atrocities, including murder, rape, and mass killings in el-Fasher, Darfur. Speaking at the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting, Rubio condemned RSF’s actions as genocidal, targeting non-Arab populations and committing widespread sexual violence against women and children. Sudan’s regular army accuses the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of arming the RSF via African intermediaries—a charge the UAE denies. The RSF, which now controls all major cities in Darfur after an 18-month siege of el-Fasher, relies on foreign-supplied weapons, with documented arms traced to Serbia, Russia, China, Turkey, Yemen, and the UAE. Satellite and field evidence show massacres and atrocities, and analysts warn that over 150,000 have died since the 2023 civil war began, with about 12 […]

UN Warns of Rising Violence Against Women and Girls in Sudan

The United Nations agency for women, UN Women, has raised alarm over the growing violence against women, girls, and civilians in and around El Fasher, North Darfur, Sudan. In a statement, the agency described the situation as catastrophic, noting that women and girls have faced siege, bombardment, and starvation for more than 500 days. Reports indicate that about 300,000 women and girls—half of the 575,000 people trapped in the city—are surviving on animal feed and leaves amid severe hunger and insecurity. UN Women said the recent takeover of El Fasher by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) marked a shift from siege to mass atrocities. The group cited reports of killings, rape, gang rape, sexual slavery, forced marriage, and abductions of women and girls. Medical networks, including the Sudan Doctors Union, have reported that over 2,000 civilians, many of them women […]
