Labor Minister participates in Riyadh Occupational Safety Conference
Bakar also referenced the launch of the 19th National Occupational Safety and Health Week, held under the slogan "With updated legislation... and a positive culture... we create a safe work environment." The campaign aims to raise community awareness and encourage institutions to adopt preventative safety policies that safeguard lives and preserve human capital as a cornerstone of sustainable development.

Three die from starvation and malnutrition in Gaza in the past 24 hours
Ammon News - Medical sources in the Gaza Strip reported today that three civilians have died from starvation and malnutrition over the past 24 hours, according to records from hospitals across the Strip. The sources noted that the total number of deaths due to starvation and malnutrition has risen to 269, including 112 children. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen amid a severe blockade and a critical shortage of food and medical supplies. Since March 2, 2025, Israeli authorities have closed all border crossings with Gaza, blocking the entry of most humanitarian food and medical aid, leading to a widespread famine. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) previously warned that malnutrition among children under five had doubled between March and June due to the continuing blockade. The World Health Organization (WHO) also confirmed that malnutrition levels in Gaza have reached alarming levels, stating that the deliberate blockade and aid delays have cost many lives.

3 Palestinians die due to starvation and acute malnutrition in Gaza
Ammon News - Medical sources in the Gaza Strip announced the deaths of three Palestinians within the past 24 hours due to starvation and malnutrition in the Gaza Strip. This brings the total number of the starvation-related fatalities to 263, including 212 children. The ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip continues to worsen, due to the blockade and shortages of food and medical supplies. The severe famine is intertwined with the genocidal war waged by Israel since October 7, 2023. Since March 2, 2025, the occupying authorities sealed off all crossings with the Gaza Strip, blocking the entry of most food and medical aid, further accelerating the spread of famine across the territory. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has warned that malnutrition among children under five doubled between March and June as a result of the ongoing blockade. The World Health Organization confirmed that malnutrition rates in Gaza have reached alarming levels, with nearly one in five children under five in Gaza City suffering from acute malnutrition. WAFA

NASA and Google test AI medical assistant for astronaut missions
Ammon News - NASA and Google are collaborating to test an AI-powered medical assistant designed to support astronauts on long-duration missions, where communication delays with Earth make real-time medical consultations impossible. NASA, which is committed to a new era of human spaceflight with its Artemis program, is working with Google to test a proof of concept for a Crew Medical Officer Digital Assistant (CMO‑DA), a type of Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS). The digital assistant would provide medical support to astronauts when operating beyond low Earth orbit, such as on missions to the moon and Mars, allowing crews to autonomously diagnose and treat symptoms. "Trained on spaceflight literature, the AI system uses cutting-edge natural language processing and machine learning techniques to safely provide real-time analyses of crew health and performance," Google representatives said in an Aug. 8 statement. According to the statement, early results indicate the possibility of reliable diagnoses based on reported symptoms. NASA and Google are now working with doctors to further test and refine the model. Deep-space missions, including to the moon or Mars, can involve communication delays — sometimes up to 45 minutes for light-time round-trip for the Red Planet — making real-time consultations impossible. And a speedy return to Earth is obviously not an option in such cases. An onboard AI assistant could therefore help bridge a critical gap. The technology could also be of use in remote and demanding environments here on Earth, where access to trained medical professionals is limited.
