Health alerts in Iraq: First fatal Crimean-Congo Fever case
Shafaq News/ On Thursday, health authorities in Kirkuk announced that precautionary measures and surveillance efforts have been intensified following the first reported death from Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in the Province. The Veterinary Teaching Hospital confirmed that a man in his 30s from Daquq district died after being admitted to the hospital with severe symptoms linked to the virus. He had been hospitalized two days earlier and died from continuous internal bleeding caused by the infection. A veterinary team visited the patient's home in the village of Bashir. According to hospital director Talaat Mahmoud Bakr, the visit was part of a coordinated response with the General Veterinary Directorate to contain the disease in identified high-risk areas. 'Efforts are now focused on outbreak zones to limit the spread and safeguard both human and animal health,' he explained. Veterinary units across the province have been instructed to disinfect animal enclosures and intensify monitoring activities. Bakr noted that immediate reporting of suspected or confirmed cases remains a top priority, particularly in rural areas where transmission risks are higher. CCHF is a viral disease transmitted primarily through tick bites or direct contact with infected animal blood or tissue. It causes high fever, muscle pain, and in severe cases, internal and external bleeding. The disease has a high mortality rate and poses significant public health risks in endemic regions.

Hend Bakr's documentary on Mohamed Hafez Ragab to screen at Cinema Akil
The documentary The Tedious Tour of M, directed by Hend Bakr, will be publicly screened at Cinema Akil in the UAE on March 15 at 11 a.m. The film explores the life of celebrated Egyptian author Mohamed Hafez Ragab, who withdrew into solitude for nearly 30 years, abandoning his literary career at its peak. Bakr, who wrote, directed and produced the documentary, embarks on a journey to uncover the reasons behind Ragab's self-imposed isolation. One of the most influential figures in modern Egyptian literature, Ragab's decision to step away from the public eye remains a mystery, and the film seeks to unravel his story. Co-produced by Ahmed Nabil, The Tedious Tour of M features editing by Peter Adel and cinematography by Tamer Nady. The documentary is represented globally by MAD World, while MAD Distribution manages its release in the MENA region. Hend Bakr is a filmmaker passionate about bridging the worlds of writing and cinema. After studying filmmaking at the Jesuit Cultural Center in Alexandria, she co-founded Rufy's Films, a prominent production company based in the city. In 2013, she co-directed and co-produced The Mice Room, a feature-length omnibus film. With The Tedious Tour of M, Bakr makes her mark in the documentary world, shedding light on the journey of a literary icon who chose obscurity over fame.
