Rescue efforts are underway in Afghanistan after a powerful earthquake and several aftershocks struck late Sunday night, killing more than 800 people and injuring thousands, according to Taliban authorities.

ICRC: Over 23,000 People Still Missing in Nigeria

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says more than 23,659 people remain missing in Nigeria, leaving at least 13,595 families in distress, most of them women bearing the weight of uncertainty and hardship. This was disclosed on Sunday by Ishaku Luka, Protection of Family Links Team Leader of the ICRC in Damaturu, during activities to mark the International Day of the Disappeared.

A Child’s Cry: Nigeria’s Malnutrition Crisis Demands Urgent Action

On a sweltering afternoon in Katsina, Fatima cradles her two-year-old son, Musa, in a crowded therapeutic feeding centre. His frail body, barely clinging to life, tells a story that words cannot. Musa is one of millions of Nigerian children facing the brutal reality of severe acute malnutrition—a condition that makes a child 9–12 times more likely to die than if they were well nourished. But Musa is also a symbol of hope. With timely treatment, he is slowly recovering. His story reminds us that malnutrition is not a death sentence—it is a preventable tragedy. A Nation at Breaking Point According to the March 2025 Cadre Harmonisé food security survey, nearly 31 million Nigerians across 26 states and the FCT face acute food insecurity. Extrapolated nationwide, this number could reach 40 million people—a population larger than many countries. Nigeria now bears […]

280 Aid Trucks Enter Gaza, UN Warns Supply Insufficient

The Israeli military body Cogat, which coordinates aid entry into Gaza, has reported that 280 trucks carrying humanitarian supplies entered the Strip on Sunday through the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings. According to Cogat, 300 trucks were collected and distributed by the United Nations and other international organisations, while UN fuel tankers were delivered to support essential humanitarian systems. In addition, 131 pallets of aid were airdropped in a joint effort by the UAE, Jordan, Germany, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, and France. The US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is among the groups delivering supplies to civilians. Despite these figures, several international agencies argue that the current aid levels are far from sufficient. Critics also say that airdrops are costly and less effective than land deliveries. The UN’s Palestinian refugee agency (Unrwa), in a situation report dated 8 August, stated […]

Sudan Market Attack Leaves Over 100 Dead as Shelling Intensifies.
