Crisis in Pakistan Deepens
Related to country: Pakistan

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

A humanitarian crisis is unfolding before our eyes on a truly unimaginable scale.

More than two million Pakistanis have fled their homes and villages — often with little more than the clothes on their backs — as fighting between government forces and radical insurgents has escalated.

With only 2 weeks left before the rainy season hits, the UN Foundation and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) are working around the clock to provide 150,000 bed nets to hundreds of thousands of people who now face an imminent risk of malaria.
While many have found relative safety in camps set up by UNHCR, some 18,000 families continue to arrive each day and resources are quickly being overwhelmed.

An outpouring of local and international donations has provided critical food and shelter. But the fast-approaching rainy season now poses a grave threat of malaria to these displaced families — with children under 5 at particularly high risk of death.

Africa's King Of Kings In Rome
Related to country: Libya

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Libyan leader Gadafhi historic visit to Italy marks a turning point in the relationship between Italy and Libya, which was its former colony.

The Libyan leader is on a three day visit where he will meet Italian President Giorgio Napolitano ahead of talks with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

Last year, Italy agreed to pay Libya $5 billion to compensate for decades of Italian occupation during the first half of the 20th century.

In return, Libya agreed to crack down on the thousands of illegal migrants who travel from Africa to Europe each year. International rights groups have criticized the policy under which Italy has repatriated migrants who have been intercepted before reaching Italian shores.

Relations between Libya and the West have improved in recent years, since Tripoli announced it was abandoning efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction.

Gadhafi has plans to meet with a group of Italian Jews who were expelled from Libya in an anti-Jewish backlash after Israel's victory in the 1967 Six-Day War.

Qatar Charity gets Kudos from Malian President
Related to country: Mali

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Qatar Charity recently opened a mosque in Mali in the presence of Malian President Amadou Toumani Tour�.

During a meeting with representatives of Qatar Charity, the president commended the efforts of the charity in building mosques and administering development projects in the country over the past several years. A certificate of appreciation was given to

Qatar Charity.

A representative of Qatar Charity said the mosque was built to alleviate the hardship faced by the elderly and the women, as it is the nearest mosque for the

local community.

Qatar Charity also distributed canned meat to widows, the disabled, the elderly and the poor in a number of villages, and also in canteens in several elementary schools. Six schools in four rural communities of the province of Koulikoro and the poor in 18 villages were the beneficiaries.

The distribution was conducted at a ceremony in Bashanvala village. It was attended by a representative of the governor of Koulikoro, an academic director of a university, heads of the beneficiary rural communities and the director of the office of the World Food Programme in Mali.

The World Food Programme official expressed happiness over the initiative taken by Qatar Charity to support the school feeding programme in rural schools. He said this had brought joy to the hearts of children and their parents, as they were exempted from bearing the expenses of the last two school meals.

The initiative is the first of its kind by any charity organisation in Mali and will reduce the burden borne by parents of schoolchildren. It will also encourage students to continue their education and contribute to a high rate of school enrolment in the target villages. The WFP official called for expanding the programme to other schools and continuing it in the coming years.

In recent years, Qatar Charity has implemented a range of health and educational projects in Mali, building five schools, three clinics, two multi-purpose centres and more than 30 mosques.
