‘Unprecedented funding crisis’ means cuts for 2.5 million Syrians in need, warns WFP
GENEVA — An unprecedented funding crisis in Syria has forced the UN World Food Program (WFP) to announce cuts to aid being provided for 2.5 million of the 5.5 million people who rely on the agency for basic food needs.The announcement comes as the European Union gears up to host the seventh Conference on Supporting the Future of Syria and the Region, beginning on Wednesday in Brussels.WFP took the decision, after exhausting all other options, to prioritize the three million Syrians who are unable to make it from one week to the next without food assistance, the agency said in a press release, rather than continue providing aid to 5.5 million people, which would mean running out of supplies completely by October.“Instead of scaling up or even keeping pace with increasing needs, we’re...

NICOSIA — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan redoubled his call here Monday for the international recognition of northern Cyprus, in his first port of call since his re-election.In Turkey-occupied north Cyprus Erdogan met the north’s leader Ersin Tatar, whose rule is recognized only by Turkey, two weeks after extending his two-decade rule until 2028.“If there is to be a return to the negotiating table, the way to do this is through recognition” of the north, Erdogan declared.Cyprus has been divided since 1974 when the Turkish army invaded the northern third of the island in response to a coup that had sought to unite the entire island with Greece.Officially the entire territory of Cyprus is EU territory, since the Republic of Cyprus joint the union in 2004.United Nations...

EU negotiators agree on digital platform for Schengen visa application
BRUSSELS — Negotiators from the European Parliament and the Council of the EU agreed Tuesday on a proposal for new rules to digitalize the Schengen visa procedures.The regulation introduces the possibility to apply for a visa online and replaces the current visa sticker with a digital visa.The goal of the proposal is twofold: to make the visa application procedure more efficient and to improve the security of the Schengen area, said an EU statement today.The rules — when finally adopted — will create an EU visa application platform.With a few exceptions, applications for Schengen visas will be made through this platform, a single website, which will forward them to the relevant national visa systems of the EU member states.On this platform, visa applicants will be able to introduce...

GENEVA — Disease outbreaks, a mental health crisis and lack of access to care are among the devastating health impacts of the destruction of the Kahkovka dam in southern Ukraine a week ago, the UN World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday.WHO’s representative in Ukraine Dr. Jarno Habicht told reporters that after the collapse of the dam caused severe flooding and massive displacement, the agency’s primary concern was the potential outbreak of waterborne diseases such as cholera and typhoid, as well as rodent-borne diseases.The agency’s teams were monitoring the situation on the ground and were ready to scale up support, he said.Dr. Habicht noted that back in the spring, WHO had provided cholera kits to people in the Kherson region and neighboring areas “as a preventive...

Rishi Sunak: “Boris Johnson asked me to do something that I wasn’t prepared to do”
Johnson and Sunak trade barbs in row over honors list
LONDON — A war of words has erupted between British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson over the former prime minister’s attempt to give peerages to several close allies.Sunak accused his former boss of asking him to “overrule” the vetting advice on his House of Lords nominations. But in a fiery statement, Johnson accused Sunak of “talking rubbish”.The House of Lords Appointments Commission (HOLAC) said it rejected eight of Johnson’s nominations.There has been no confirmation of who the nominees were, and why they were not included on Johnson’s controversial resignation honors list.The honors list was published by Sunak’s government on Friday, without the names of some of Johnson’s key supporters, including Conservative MPs Nadine Dorries and Nigel Adams.A few...

GENEVA — A new UN report launched on Monday revealed no improvement in the level of prejudice shown against women over the past decade, with almost nine out of 10 men and women worldwide, still holding such biases.“Half of people worldwide still believe men make better political leaders than women, and more than 40 percent believe men make better business executives than women,” according to the UN Development Program (UNDP) in its latest Gender Social Norms Index (GSNI) report.“Social norms that impair women’s rights are detrimental to society more broadly, dampening the expansion of human development,” said Pedro Conceição, head of UNDP’s Human Development Report Office.A staggering 25 percent of people believe it is justified for a man to beat his wife, according to the...
