With sanctions lifted, Syria looks to solar power as more than a patchwork fix to its energy crisis
Al-Jenan went thousands of dollars in debt to buy his solar panel in 2019. It was an expensive coping mechanism at the time, but without it, he couldn't charge his phone and run the refrigerator.

Gazans Confront a Stark Choice: Risk Death to Get Food, or Starve
For many in Gaza, it is an agonizing daily choice. Should they risk a trip through combat zones to visit one of the enclave's four functioning aid-distribution sites that are frequently scenes of chaos and violence? Or should they try to make it another 24 hours, or more, without food. Mahmoud al-Tarifi's 22-year-old son, Osama, set out for a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation center near the Netzarim corridor, an Israeli-patrolled zone that bisects Gaza. His family hadn't eaten a filling meal in weeks, Tarifi said, and Osama wanted to get rice, dried beans or other supplies.

Eco-warriors needed to build new table at RSP Off-Grid Adventure Centre
THE RSP Off-Grid Adventure Centre is calling on eco-warriors to help build an eco-brick table. The centre needs enthusiastic locals to create and donate eco-bricks for its bushcraft area. An eco-brick is a plastic bottle packed with non-recyclable, non-biodegradable waste such as soft plastics, wrappers, and polystyrene. By packing these tightly, the waste is diverted from landfills. To make one, gather a clean, dry plastic bottle, and fill it with waste such as crisp packets, sweet wrappers, plastic film, and polystyrene pieces. Use a stick or spoon to compress the waste inside the bottle, ensuring it is as dense as possible. No food waste or wet items should be used. Once the eco-brick is solid and heavy, it can be donated to the RSP Off-Grid Adventure Centre during opening hours. The centre aims to use these eco-bricks to build a new table for the bushcraft area. This initiative provides a way to reduce waste, learn about sustainable building, and contribute to a community resource.
