Egypt Partcipates in UNOC3
Ahmed Emam Egypt's Minister of Environment, Dr. Yasmine Fouad, has arrived in the French city of Nice to participate in the third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3), where she is attending the opening session on behalf of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. The high-level conference, held from June 9 to 13, brings together government officials, international financial institutions, non-governmental organizations, researchers, civil society groups, and private sector representatives. Accompanying Fouad are Ambassador Heidi Serry, Egypt's Consul General in Marseille, and Tamer Abu Ghrareh, the minister's advisor for international cooperation. The minister highlighted that this year's conference focuses on three key objectives: conserving marine biodiversity, preserving fish stocks, and advancing the global biodiversity framework's 30x30 target — which aims to protect 30% of the world's oceans and land by 2030. The conference also addresses challenges and opportunities tied to the 14th UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 14), which promotes the sustainable use of oceans, seas, and marine resources. One of the central themes of the conference is marine plastic pollution. Dr. Fouad emphasized the importance of this issue in light of ongoing international negotiations to establish a global treaty on plastic pollution (INC). The UNOC3 serves as a critical milestone in unifying global perspectives and national needs ahead of the fifth negotiating session (INC5), scheduled for August 2025 in Geneva. As part of her role, Fouad is also moderating the first session of a high-level event marking the 50th anniversary of the Mediterranean Action Plan and the 30th anniversary of the Barcelona Convention. This gathering of environment and biodiversity ministers, along with UN agency representatives, aims to announce ambitious national actions to protect the Mediterranean region, addressing the region's 'triple challenge' — climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, with a special focus on plastic waste. The Egyptian minister will also take part in several side events focused on combating plastic pollution. These include a ministerial consultation on the future global treaty, with discussions on key treaty components such as product regulation, sustainable consumption and production, and financing. Another key event, "Scaling Up Solutions for a Plastic-Free Mediterranean" , will focus on tracking plastic pollution and strengthening international alliances for a cleaner and healthier Mediterranean Sea. Egypt's participation underscores its commitment to global environmental action and its growing leadership in addressing pressing challenges related to oceans and sustainable development. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

28 Injured as Israeli Airstrikes Target Aid Distribution Point Near Nuseirat
Ahmed Emam At least 28 Palestinians were injured early Monday morning after Israeli warplanes struck areas near a humanitarian aid distribution point close to the Nuseirat checkpoint in central Gaza, according to local media citing Al-Awda Hospital. Eyewitnesses reported that the airstrike and live fire targeted crowds gathering to receive food and essential supplies in a region already devastated by months of conflict and siege. The injured were rushed to nearby medical facilities amid ongoing efforts by local volunteers and emergency workers to assist the wounded. Palestinian civil society leader Rateeba Al-Natsheh, a member of the National Popular Action Committee, condemned the attack, calling it a deliberate tactic by Israeli forces to terrorize civilians and weaponize hunger. 'Israel has adopted a strategy aimed at subduing Gaza's population not through military defeat—because they know they cannot achieve that—but through starvation and manipulation of humanitarian aid,' Al-Natsheh said. 'This is a systematic attempt to force the displacement of over two million Palestinians and consolidate control over more territory.' Monday's attack is one of a series of incidents in which aid convoys or distribution centers have been hit, sparking renewed outcry from humanitarian organizations and calls for international intervention to protect civilians and ensure safe access to food and medical supplies. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to deepen, with shortages of water, food, medicine, and electricity affecting virtually every resident. The United Nations and aid agencies have repeatedly warned of the risk of famine and called for an immediate ceasefire to allow for sustained humanitarian relief. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
