BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

    WHO says monkeypox remains global health emergency

Monkeypox should remain listed as a global health emergency, the World Health Organization's emergency committee ruled on Tuesday.

The experts "maintained the consensus view that the incident continues to meet the... criteria for a Public Health Emergency of International Concern" after a discussion on the virus that rapidly began spreading throughout the globe in May, as per a statement from WHO.

The so-called PHEIC, the highest level of alarm set by the UN health agency, was initially announced on July 23. 

Experts indicated that while some progress had been achieved in containing the disease, it was still too soon to declare the emergency finished.

The announcement added that WHO Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has acknowledged and concurred with the experts' recommendations.

Since monkeypox unexpectedly began spreading beyond the West African countries where it has long been endemic six months ago, it has killed 36 people out of more than 77,000 cases across 109 countries, as per a WHO count.

However, the number of cases of the illness, which causes fever, muscle aches, and huge boil-like skin lesions, has steadily decreased since July, most notably in Europe and North America, the hardest hit regions in the early phases of the global outbreak.

There were 41% fewer new cases worldwide in the seven days leading up to Monday than there was the week before, according to WHO.

They cited ongoing transmission in some areas, ongoing readiness, and response disparities within and between nations, not to mention the possibility of more serious health effects if the virus spreads more quickly among people that are already more vulnerable.

They also emphasized the ongoing danger of stigma and prejudice, the underreporting of cases caused by shoddy health systems in some developing nations, and the unequal distribution of access to vaccinations, antivirals, and diagnostics.
