Over 40 people, including children, killed in Sudan hospital attack, says WHO chief
Saturday's attack on the Al Mujlad Hospital took place in West Kordofan, near the front line between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, who have been fighting each other since the conflict broke out in April 2023.
WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called for attacks on health infrastructure to stop, without saying who was responsible.
The WHO Sudan office said that six children and five medics were killed in the attack, reporting extensive damage to the facility.
Emergency Lawyers, a human rights group, accused an army drone of striking the hospital on Saturday, but in a statement on Sunday put the death toll at nine.

More obese children are developing 'adult' diabetes
Twelve-year-old Adam loves his toasted bread coated with condensed milk and a sprinkle of chocolate rice for breakfast. At school, he often grabs fried chicken rice for lunch and a sweet drink on the way home. In the evening, he's glued to his mobile games, snacking on chocolate biscuits. His parents notice he has gained weight and recently tires easily, wakes up at night to pee frequently and constantly asks for water. A visit to the doctor and a simple blood test confirms their fears: Adam has type 2 diabetes. His parents are shocked: 'But he's just a child! Isn't diabetes something only adults get? 'Did we do something wrong?' If these thoughts sound familiar, you're not alone. Unhealthy lifestyle patterns In Malaysia, nearly one in three children is either overweight or obese, according to a 2022 review in the Malaysian Journal of Nutrition. Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that around one in five children and adolescents aged five to 19 years are overweight, with 8% classified as obese. With this rising trend comes a worrying increase in young patients presenting with prediabetes or full-blown type 2 diabetes – a condition once considered exclusive to adults.. So why is this happening? Type 2 diabetes tends to run in families due to a combination of shared genetic factors and lifestyle habits, such as eating patterns and physical activity levels, that increase the risk among close relatives. The main lifestyle contributors are: Unhealthy diets Processed, sugary, and fried foods are often more accessible and cheaper than healthy alternatives. Many children exceed the recommended daily sugar limit. Sedentary lifestyle In previous generations, walking to school or playing outside was normal. But children today spend hours indoors on screens: YouTube, mobile games and social media. Outdoor play and physical activities have become rare in their daily routine. Poor sleep routines Staying up late while staring at a screen affects melatonin and cortisol levels, increasing cravings for sugary or fatty foods, which leads to weight gain and insulin resistance. Causing insulin resistance Obesity, especially central obesity (fat stored around the abdomen), plays a key role in the development of type 2 diabetes. Preventing type 2 diabetes can involve steps as simple as cutting back on sugary drinks and getting children used to drinking plain water as their default beverage. This excess adiposity causes the body to become resistant towards the actions of insulin, which is being produced normally by our body. The result is that glucose (sugar) builds up in the blood. Our pancreas then tries to compensate by producing more insulin to overcome this 'resistance'. Over time, the pancreas becomes 'exhausted', and blood sugar levels start to rise. This is the beginning of type 2 diabetes. Many people think diabetes only becomes dangerous later in life, but in reality, children with type 2 diabetes are at risk of both acute and long-term complications. Acutely, they may develop life-threatening conditions like diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state (HHS). Both these conditions can lead to severe dehydration, organ failure, and even coma, if not treated promptly. Long-term complications, once seen mostly in older adults, can also appear earlier in young people living with type 2 diabetes, including: Nerve damage (neuropathy) – causing tingling, numbness or burning pain. Eye problems – such as diabetic retinopathy, which may lead to blindness. Kidney damage – diabetic nephropathy, which can lead to kidney failure. Heart disease and high blood pressure – increasing risk of heart attacks and strokes, even from a young age. Predisposition to infections. Spotting the warning signs Unlike type 1 diabetes, which develops quickly and dramatically, type 2 diabetes in children often develops silently and gradually, making it harder to detect. Watch for these red flags: Frequent thirst and urination Tiredness, even with adequate sleep Weight changes – either rapid gain or unexplained loss Dark velvety patches on the neck, armpits or elbows – this is a sign of insulin resistance known as acanthosis nigricans Recurrent infections or slow-healing wounds Mood swings or irritability. A simple fasting blood sugar test and HbA1c test at your clinic can reveal whether your child is at risk. Further blood tests such as diabetes antibodies will be done to differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Lower your child's risk Type 2 diabetes is manageable, but prevention is best. This doesn't mean forcing your child into a strict diet or intense workouts. Small, sustainable lifestyle changes can make a big difference – and they work best when the whole family gets involved. These can include: > Cutting back on sugary drinks gradually Instead of a complete ban (which may cause rebellion), start by reducing the frequency of consuming such drinks. Swap syrupy drinks or juices for infused water with lemon or mint if your child wishes for a more 'flavourful' drink. Encourage water as the default drink during meals. Gradually limit sweet drinks like bubble tea, iced chocolate or malted drinks, and fruit-flavoured milk to special occasions only. > Tweak their favourite meals Healthy eating doesn't mean abandoning Malaysian favourites; it's about smart swaps. Choose grilled or baked chicken over deep-fried. Replace white rice with brown rice. Add more vegetables to family dishes like fried rice, curry and soups. Avoid ultra-processed snacks like chips and opt for fruit, yoghurt or nuts. > Encourage active play, not just exercise Many children dislike the idea of 'exercise', but love to play. Try dancing games, cycling, hula-hooping or treasure hunts. Let them choose a weekend activity: sports, hiking or swimming. Revive traditional games like batu seremban, congkak or galah panjang. > Limit screen time without battles You don't have to ban gadgets altogether, but balance is key. Create 'tech-free' zones (e.g. during meals and before bedtime). Use parental controls or timers to limit passive screen time. Pair screen use with movement. > Make it a family affair Children learn by example with a supportive family. When the whole family makes healthier choices, kids follow naturally. Encourage positively. Cook together and let your child choose a veggie to try each week. Go to the market together and teach them about fresh produce. Present food creatively, e.g. use colourful bento boxes or cut fruit into fun shapes. Start small today If your child is overweight or has been diagnosed with prediabetes, don't panic and don't blame yourself. Parenting doesn't come with a manual, and lifestyle changes are often shaped by environment, availability and awareness. What's most important is what you choose to do today. Start small and be consistent. Keep it fun: Movement should be enjoyable, not a punishment. Do it together: When families act as a team, progress is faster and more sustainable. As a paediatric endocrinologist, I've seen how easily type 2 diabetes can creep up. But I've also seen how families who take proactive steps early can turn their child's health around. Let's give our children the best chance at a healthy, happy life one small step at a time with no blame or shame. Worried about your child's weight or risk of diabetes? Talk to your doctor or a paediatric endocrinologist. Early intervention is the best prevention. Dr Jeanne Wong Sze Lyn is a consultant paediatrician and paediatric endocrinologist.

US CDC boosts security after deadly Atlanta HQ shooting
THE U.S. CDC has tightened security following an attack Friday on its Atlanta headquarters that left a police officer and the gunman dead, including having most employees work from home this week and removing vehicle decals showing where they work. The union representing workers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the violence 'compounds months of mistreatment, neglect, and vilification that CDC staff have endured,' citing reports that the gunman blamed the Covid-19 vaccine for making him depressed and suicidal. Since being named Health and Human Services Secretary earlier this year, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has targeted vaccine policy, and in May withdrew a federal recommendation for Covid shots for pregnant women and healthy children. Kennedy toured the CDC site on Monday, where agency security pointed out shattered windows across multiple buildings, including the main guard booth, HHS said in a statement. He also visited the DeKalb County Police Department and met privately with the widow of Officer David Rose, who gave his life in the line of duty. 'No one should face violence while working to protect the health of others,' Kennedy Jr. said in a post on X on Saturday. HHS said it continues to support CDC personnel and additional safety and security measures are being put in place ahead of their return to the office. A source briefed on the matter told Reuters that 189 rounds of gunfire had hit the CDC buildings during the attack, 85 windows were broken and over 100 doors destroyed, among other damage. Both local and federal law enforcement are 'conducting intensive monitoring of all potential threats to CDC and its staff,' the agency's acting Chief Operating Officer Christa Capozzola said in an email to staff over the weekend that was seen by Reuters. She said work was under way to clean up and repair extensive damage to the CDC's campus by the shooter who, according to the investigation so far, acted alone. An 'all-staff' meeting on Tuesday will become a virtual-only event, CDC Director Susan Monarez said in a separate email seen by Reuters. She said teams were working to determine 'our workplace posture' moving forward. The agency's safety division asked employees to remove CDC-identifying decals from their vehicles, an email seen by Reuters showed. The Atlanta Police Department referred calls to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which did not have an immediate comment. - Reuters

Dengue deaths cross 100 mark as outbreak threat worsens
The country is experiencing a surge in dengue cases and deaths, with health experts warning that August could bring an even more severe outbreak of the mosquito-borne disease if urgent action is not taken. Dengue has killed 101 people and infected 24,183 so far this year, official data showed, placing a severe strain on the country's already overstretched healthcare system. A sharp rise in fatalities has accompanied the spike in cases. Nineteen people have already died of dengue so far in August, following 41 deaths in July – more than double June's 19 fatalities. 'The situation is critical. The virus is already widespread across the country, and without aggressive intervention, hospitals will be overwhelmed,' said Kabirul Bashar, an entomologist at Jahangirnagar University. 'August could see at least three times as many cases as July, with numbers potentially peaking in September.' Health officials are urging people to use mosquito repellents, sleep under nets, and eliminate stagnant water where mosquitoes breed. 'We need coordinated spraying and community clean-up drives, especially in high-risk zones.' Experts say climate change, along with warm, humid weather and intermittent rain, has created ideal breeding conditions for Aedes mosquitoes, the carriers of the dengue virus. While Dhaka remains a major hotspot, dengue is peaking across the country. Large numbers of infections are being reported from outside the capital, adding pressure to rural healthcare facilities with limited capacity to treat severe cases. Doctors warn that early medical attention is critical. Severe abdominal pain, vomiting, bleeding, or extreme fatigue should prompt immediate hospital visits to reduce the risk of complications or death. The deadliest year on record was 2023, with 1,705 deaths and more than 321,000 infections reported. — Reuters
