UEFA pledges new humanitarian aid for Gaza children: A Salah effect? asks British journalist - Talents Abroad
A prominent British football writer has questioned whether UEFA's announcement of new partnerships with humanitarian organisations to support children in Gaza is a response to Egyptian star Mohamed Salah's post condemning the killing of former Palestinian footballer Suleiman al-Obeid in an Israeli airstrike in southern Gaza as he awaited aid. The UEFA Foundation for Children said on Tuesday it will work with Médecins du Monde, Médecins Sans Frontières and Handicap International to deliver medical care, psychosocial support, food kits and education on the dangers of explosive remnants to children affected by the war. UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin said the move was part of a wider mission to help young people in conflict zones, adding: 'Children are innocent… we must do what we can to help those who are trying to make life more tolerable and normal for them.' Henry Winter, a prominent British football writer, asked whether the move was a response to Salah's pointed remarks, writing on X: 'The Salah effect? UEFA establishes partnerships with Médecins du Monde, Médecins Sans Frontières and Handicap International… providing vital humanitarian help for the children of Gaza, who are enduring what UN Secretary General António Guterres has described as 'a humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions'.' The Salah effect? Uefa establishes partnerships with Medecins du Monde, Medecins sans Frontières and Handicap International, charities 'providing vital humanitarian help for the children of Gaza, who are enduring what UN Secretary General António Guterres has described as, 'a… — Henry Winter (@henrywinter) August 12, 2025 He described the aid as urgently needed and said it was 'interesting' to know if it followed Salah's criticism of UEFA's limited statement on the death of former Palestine player Suleiman Al-Obeid. On Sunday, Salah, the Liverpool and Egypt forward, reposted UEFA's brief condolence message on X to his 19.4 million followers, asking: 'Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?' The message was in tribute to Al-Obeid, known as the 'Palestinian Pele,' who, according to the Palestine Football Association (PFA), was killed last week in an Israeli airstrike in southern Gaza. Al-Obeid, 41, scored more than 100 goals in his career and earned 24 caps for Palestine. The PFA says 421 footballers, including 103 children, have been killed or died from starvation in Gaza since the war began, with 288 sports facilities damaged or destroyed. UEFA said its new Gaza-focused aid will run alongside existing projects in other conflict areas including Ukraine, Sudan, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Afghanistan.

Gold Falls Locally Despite Global Ounce Gains on Dollar Weakness and Fed Rate Cut Expectations
Waleed Farouk Local gold markets saw a decline in prices during Wednesday's trading, despite gains in global ounce prices, supported by a weaker U.S. dollar after the latest U.S. inflation data reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its upcoming mid-September meeting, according to the 'iSagha' platform. Local gold prices fell by about EGP 5 compared to yesterday's close, with 21-karat gold recording EGP 4,570 per gram, while the ounce gained about $7 to reach $3,355. The price of 24-karat gold reached EGP 5,223, 18-karat stood at EGP 3,917, and 14-karat at EGP 3,047, while the gold pound was priced at EGP 36,560. On Tuesday, gold had also dropped by about EGP 5, with 21-karat starting the session at EGP 4,580 and closing at EGP 4,575. In the global market, the ounce declined by about $3, opening at $3,351 and closing at $3,348. Today's gold movements were volatile, driven by U.S. inflation data and developments related to tariffs, as the metal fell to new lows before briefly rebounding near $3,355 per ounce. The local market's decline was also linked to the drop in the U.S. dollar against the Egyptian pound, with the Central Bank's latest rates at EGP 48.37 for buying and EGP 48.50 for selling. U.S. Inflation Data and Impact on Gold The July Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed headline inflation rising by 0.2% month-on-month and 2.7% year-on-year, while core inflation (excluding food and energy) increased by 0.3% month-on-month and 3.1% year-on-year. Energy prices fell by 1.1%, food prices were unchanged, and the impact of tariffs so far has been limited. The figures indicate that U.S. companies are still absorbing much of the additional costs, preventing them from being passed directly to consumers. Combined with signs of a slowing labor market, these data boosted the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut in September to over 95%, according to the CME FedWatch tool, supporting gold prices by pressuring the U.S. dollar. Geopolitical and Trade Landscape Optimism over a 90-day extension of the U.S.-China tariff truce and anticipation of U.S.-Russia peace talks in Alaska on Friday have limited gold's upward momentum as safe-haven demand eased. Tariff Developments on Gold U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that no tariffs will be imposed on gold bullion, ending a wave of concern that rattled markets last week, particularly over potential duties on 1-kg bars that would have impacted Switzerland, one of the largest gold exporters. The Swiss Precious Metals Producers Association welcomed the decision but called for an official decree to ensure stability, while the White House confirmed that an executive order is being prepared to address misinformation about gold tariffs. Investment Trends in Asia A Bloomberg report noted that wealthy Asian investors have more than doubled their gold holdings over the past year, especially in Hong Kong. Some lend bullion to local jewelers or enter profit-sharing partnerships, while others exploit price differentials between markets. Future Outlook Despite potential catalysts, gold has failed to break above $3,400, keeping it under selling pressure that could drive it to test lower support levels, especially as recent rally peaks have been lower than their predecessors. U.S. Political and Monetary Policy Trump intensified his criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, hinting at allowing a lawsuit against him over what he described as poor management of Fed building projects—adding a new political dimension to market risks. Separately, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged the Fed to cut rates by 50 basis points, citing weak jobs data and slowing inflation. Trump also nominated economist E.J. Antoni to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics after dismissing Erica MacEntarfer, amid controversy over data collection methods. Meanwhile, the Fed continues to balance its dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment against a backdrop of a clearly slowing labor market. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
