Former US President Biden diagnosed with 'aggressive' prostate cancer
Biden, 82, was diagnosed on Friday after experiencing urinary symptoms, and he and his family are reviewing treatment options with doctors, according to the statement.

Hospitals in Syria's Sweida struggling after sectarian clashes: WHO
The main hospital in the southern Syrian city of Sweida is overwhelmed with trauma patients and working without adequate power or water after the local Druze minority clashed almost two weeks ago with Bedouin and government forces. "Inside of Sweida, it's a grim picture, with the health facilities under immense strain," the World Health Organization's Christina Bethke told reporters in Geneva via video link from Damascus. "Electricity and water are cut off, and essential medicine supplies are running out." Many medical staff cannot reach their workplace safely, and the main hospital's morgue was full at one point this week as it dealt with a surge of trauma cases. At least 903 people were killed in the sectarian bloodshed, according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, after clashes between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes spilled into ferocious fighting between the Druze and government forces sent to quell the unrest.

One in ten children screened in UNRWA clinics are malnourished: UNRWA
One in ten children screened in clinics run by the United Nations refugee agency in Gaza since 2024 has been malnourished, the agency said on Tuesday. "Our health teams are confirming that malnutrition rates are increasing in Gaza, especially since the siege was tightened more than four months ago on the second of March," UNRWA's Director of Communications, Juliette Touma, told reporters in Geneva via a video link from Amman, Jordan. Since January 2024, UNRWA said it had screened more than 240,000 boys and girls under the age of five in its clinics, adding that before the war, acute malnutrition was rarely seen in the Gaza Strip. "One nurse that we spoke to told us that in the past, he only saw these cases of malnutrition in textbooks and documentaries," Touma said. "Medicine, nutrition supplies, hygiene material, fuel are all rapidly running out," Touma said. Reuters

WHO: Nasser hospital in Gaza has become a 'massive trauma ward'
The World Health Organization said on Friday that Nasser Hospital in Gaza has effectively turned into "one massive trauma ward" due to the influx of patients injured at non-U.N. food distribution points. Rik Peeperkorn, the WHO's representative in the occupied Palestinian territory, told reporters in Geneva: 'They have been seeing daily injuries for weeks… most of them coming from what are called non-U.N. safe sites for food distribution. The hospital is now operating as one massive trauma ward.' Reuters
