    Who gives up the gun first? Gaza’s path to peace lies in learning how other wars ended | The National (opens the original)

    There is scepticism around US President Donald Trump’s 20-point “Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict” endorsed by UN Security Council Resolution 2803 adopted last November. Not least because the toxic political and security issues that embroil the wider region remain unsettled. But, from the humanitarian perspective, stage one of the Trump Plan did get the remaining Israeli hostages and nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees freed. And more life-saving aid flowing into Gaza as well as

    The neglected knife: Why global health overlooks surgery | The National (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Two teenage girls in obstructed labour were evacuated to a hospital in South Sudan. One died on the plane. The other had her ruptured uterus repaired and her life saved. Their fates were separated only by the minutes taken to reach a functioning operating room. That margin between life and death is the overlooked story of global surgery at a time when nearly a third of the global disease burden and 15 per cent of world disability require surgical intervention. Examples include pregnancy complica

    Ghulam Ali was 10 when he left Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion and spent four decades in Iran. Arrested in a purge last year, he was deported back alongside 14 family members. “I grew up there, worked there, buried my parents there,” he recently told a journalist. “But in the end, they threw us out like trash.

    In Venezuela’s earthquakes, the deepest faultlines are man-made | The National (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In Catia La Mar, on Venezuela’s shattered Caribbean coast, an exhausted rescue volunteer confronted soldiers carrying rifles: “Why did you not bring shovels?” In those first desperate hours after twin earthquakes struck on June 24, firefighters idled for want of fuel, rescuers searched by the light of mobile phones, and neighbours clawed at rubble with bare hands while heavy machinery never came. The magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 shocks released energy equal to 240 Hiroshima atomic bombs. At the t

    The next UN secretary general will be picked to lead – but also designed to take the blame | The National (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The scramble for the 10th UN secretary general is under way. States seek a leader-manager-diplomat-communicator of unassailable integrity and faithfulness to UN values. Surely, many could tick the right boxes in our richly talented world of eight billion people? However, the real task is much harder: how to find someone who understands that their aspired office has, for eight decades, punished its finest occupants and rewarded its most forgettable ones. This uncomfortable lesson should disciplin
