14,000 Gaza babies could die without aid, says Palestine health ministry
The Palestinian health minister said on Thursday that 29 children had died from starvation-related deaths in Gaza in recent days and that many thousands more were at risk. "In the last couple of days we lost 29 children," Palestinian health minister, Majed Abu Ramadan told reporters, describing them as "starvation-related deaths." Asked to react to earlier comments by the UN aid chief to the BBC that 14,000 babies could die without aid, he said: "The number 14,000 is very realistic may be even underestimating (the scale)." On the other hand, the Israeli army issued an evacuation warning on Thursday for 14 neighbourhoods of northern Gaza, as it pressed a renewed offensive that has drawn international condemnation. The warning came hours after the United Nations said it had collected and begun distributing around 90 truckloads of aid in Gaza, the first such delivery since Israel imposed a total blockade on the territory on March 2. Under global pressure for an end to the blockade and the violence, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was open to a "temporary ceasefire" in Gaza, but reaffirmed the military aimed to bring the entire territory under its control. In an Arabic-language statement on Thursday, the military said it was "operating with intense force" in 14 areas in the northern Gaza Strip, accusing "terrorist organisations" of operating there. The army issued a similar warning for northern Gaza on Wednesday evening in what the army said was a response to rocket fire. It later announced three more launches from northern Gaza, but said the projectiles had fallen inside the Palestinian territory. After Israel announced it would allow in limited aid, the United Nations "collected around 90 truckloads of goods from the Kerem Shalom crossing and dispatched them into Gaza", said Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for UN chief Antonio Guterres.

"Sharjah Children" organises awareness session for parents
Key speakers and topics The session featured presentations from Her Excellency Hanadi Al Yafai, Director General of the Child Safety Department, Noura Al Shamsi, Deputy Director of Sharjah Children, and Dr. Bina Youssef Bouzaboun, Mental Health Officer at KANAF Center within the Child Safety Department. They discussed the importance of the family in shaping a child's personality and boosting their self-confidence through role modeling and the active practice of values, rather than just verbal guidance. Emphasis was placed on fostering family cohesion through effective communication at home and using the Arabic language to enhance national and cultural identity among children. Important discussions The session covered several crucial topics, including instilling national identity, teaching children good manners through daily practices, and promoting values of humility, self-confidence, and respect for others. Additionally, it addressed regulating social media use and balancing academic achievement with skill development. The speakers stressed the need for parents to clarify that participation in the "Sharjah Children's Council" is not aimed at fame or media exposure, but rather as an opportunity to develop their skills and enhance their social responsibility. Statements from leaders In this context, Her Excellency Khawla Al Hawai, Director of Sharjah Children, stated: "We believe at Sharjah Children that the family is our true partner in building and empowering aware and influential generations. It is the first environment where values are instilled, trust is built, and personality is formed. This awareness session on International Family Day reaffirms this pivotal role, especially with the parents of the members of the Sharjah Children's Council, who represent the voice of their peers." She added, "We value our collaboration with the Child Safety Department, as we share a common goal of protecting the child and developing their personality in a balanced manner. Through this integration, we establish a supportive environment that contributes to building a generation capable of interacting with the challenges of the times while retaining their identity and culture." Commitment to child welfare Her Excellency Hanadi Al Yafai emphasised, "At the Child Safety Department, we believe that an aware family is the first fortress and solid foundation for a child's growth in a safe environment that guarantees their security and nurtures them with high values that shape their personality. The best interests of the child are realized within a cohesive, loving family that understands their psychological and social needs. Based on this firm belief, the Emirate of Sharjah reaffirms its commitment to empowering children by enhancing stable family environments that are aware of their vital role in this journey." Ongoing initiatives This workshop is part of a series of initiatives and programs that "Sharjah Children" is committed to providing, believing in the importance of enhancing the role of parents as essential partners in supporting their children's journey. The collaborative relationship between the family and the institution forms a solid foundation for building a balanced and capable generation, equipped with the skills to face future challenges.
