This is like doomsday for me. I feel so much grief. Can you imagine what I’ve gone through watching my children dying?” says Amina.

She’s lost six children. None of them lived past the age of three and another is now battling for her life.

Seven-month-old Bibi Hajira is the size of a newborn. Suffering from severe acute malnutrition, she occupies half a bed at a ward in Jalalabad regional hospital in Afghanistan’s eastern Nangarhar province.



Tens of thousands of artefacts looted from Sudan museum

It is believed that RSF fighters are behind the thefts at the National Museum in Khartoum, one of the most important in Africa

Tens of thousands of artefacts have been looted from a Sudanese museum regarded as one of the most important in Africa, an official at the museum has said.

The official at the National Museum in Khartoum said satellite images taken last year showed trucks loaded with artefacts leaving the museum and heading for Sudan’s borders, including the border with South Sudan.

The official, who asked to remain anonymous, did not attribute blame for the looting. Earlier this month, Sudan’s national broadcaster reported that the museum had been targeted by “a large-scale looting and smuggling operation”.

Is Israel's army using Palestinians as human shields?

Palestinian civilians have said Israeli soldiers forced them to put on military uniforms and use cameras to scout dangerous places in the Gaza Strip. An Israeli human rights organization has confirmed the accusations.

In a tent in Khan Younis, the second largest city in the Gaza Strip, Mohammad S. sits and tells a story that does not fit into the usual narratives on the Gaza war.

For almost a year, Israel's army, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), has been fighting Hamas and other militant organizations there, which are classified as terrorist organizations by Germany, the European Union, the United States and other governments. The trigger was an unprecedented terrorist attack on Israel last October 7, when, according to Israeli sources, Islamist militias killed more than 1,200 people and took 251 hostages to Gaza.


EU says it received 'credible information' that Iran sent ballistic missiles to Russia

The European Union has said it is looking into reports that Iran has supplied Russia with ballistic missiles to use in its war against Ukraine after having received "credible" intelligence from its allies. Tehran has rejected the allegation while Moscow has not explicitly denied receiving missiles from Iran. 

The European Union said Monday its allies had shared "credible" intelligence Iran had supplied Russia with ballistic missiles, a claim rejected by Tehran but not explicitly denied by the Kremlin.

US media outlets reported last week that Washington believed Iran had transferred the weapons to Russia for use in Ukraine, citing anonymous sources.

A mini Russia emerges in Serbia as thousands flee war

On a sweltering summer morning in Serbia's capital Belgrade, Vadim Morus, a professional ice skater from Russia, glides across an outdoor rink. Morus is 1,000 miles (1,600 km) from his native Moscow, but is beginning to feel at home.
He fled Russia with his fiancee in 2022, part of a wave of tens of thousands who came to Serbia after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It's a long way to come, but many chose Belgrade for its ancient cultural and religious ties to Moscow.
"There are few ice skaters in Serbia who can train others, so I have plenty of Serbian students," Morus, 24, said.
Since war began in Ukraine in February 2022, Russians fleeing conflict, conscription or the politics of President Vladimir Putin, have established a vibrant community in Serbia, according to interviews with two dozen immigrants and local officials.

Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) says it is taking steps to secure the extradition of ousted leader Sheikh Hasina from neighbouring India.

The chief prosecutor of the body said on Sunday that the legal process to bring Hasina back to Bangladesh, to face trial for the deadly violence waged by the authorities before she was unseated by mass protests in August, has started.
