- The renewed hostilities between Hamas and Israel have once again sparked international concern. The humanitarian situation in besieged Gaza will become "unmanageable very quickly" Fabrizio Carboni, a senior official with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said even as the death toll due to Israeli bombardment in the enclave rose to over 1,300.
At least "1,354 citizens have been martyred and 6,049 suffered various injuries", the ministry said, updating an earlier death toll of around 1,200 that was announced at dawn on Thursday.
At least 1,300 Israelis have also been killed since a surprise attack by the Palestinian group Hamas early on Saturday that involved dozens of fighters who infiltrated Israeli towns, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (KAN) said.
More than 3,300 Israelis have been injured in the unprecedented assault, with over 350 seriously injured. The latest outbreak of violence followed an attack against Isr...

- The ongoing war in Sudan has paralysed the education sector disrupting teaching and learning in most parts of the country. Many children and teachers rendered homeless.
According to the UN office coordinating humanitarian affairs OCHA, the conflict, which started in mid-April, has affected eight of Sudan’s 18 states. The worst hit are Khartoum, Kordofan and Darfur regions.
This led to major disruptions and suspension of education services indefinitely in much of the affected states.
The UN OCHA says 6.4 million children who had enrolled in schools in the affected states abandoned their learning with more than 10,000 schools closed.
Many have fled the hotbeds of conflict to other parts of the country, while others have crossed into neighbouring countries.
According to the UN agency, 1.4 million children are among the 4.3 million internally displaced. At least 171 schools have been converted into emergency shelters.

Militant attacks have caused thousands of deaths while more than two million people have been displaced in Burkina Faso since 2015 when the violence spilled over from neighbouring Mali and Niger. Traore had promised to reverse the trend in a few months.
By the end of August 2023, the government announced the successful return of over 190,000 of those displaced to their original communities. But the security situation remains precarious.
Captain Traore himself has said ''we are at war'' referring to the violence. He suggested the insecurity could prevent the country from conducting elections scheduled for next year.

It has been hit by droughts, floods, intense rains to heat waves. The continent suffered an estimated $8.5 billion in economic damages due to climate change in 2022, with more than 110 million people on the continent directly affected by weather, climate, and water-related hazards.
The rate of global warming has been faster in North Africa, which has been engulfed by intense heat causing wildfires in Algeria and Tunisia.
Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia were heavily impacted in the Horn of Africa region, which saw its worst drought in 40 years.

The coup leader, Gen Brice Oligui Nguema, has since been sworn in as interim president. He promised to restore civilian authority but has not given a transition timetable.
On August 30, mutinous soldiers deposed the country's President Ali Bongo, effectively ending his family's 56-year rule.
The coup came just after Gabon's electoral body announced official results of the country's disputed presidential election giving Bongo a new seven-year term.
Ali Bongo was in power since 2009 when he succeeded his father Omar Bongo who died in office after ruling for 42 years.
Despite being resource-rich, the Central African nation has a largely poor population. What was really behind the coup?
