BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

A report published by the United Nations Children's Fund shows that only one-third of children under two-years-old are receiving the required nutrition in developed countries.

    UNICEF: About 11 million children under the age of two are at risk of malnutrition effects.

In a report published yesterday, Tuesday, UNICEF pointed out that several factors such as Coronavirus, conflicts, and climate changes have negatively affected children's nutrition progress in 91 countries.

According to the report, half of the children aged from 6 to 23 months across several developing countries are not receiving the minimum required number of daily meals. Only a few children have a diverse diet that meets the minimum requirements.

Poor diets and malnutrition can cause illnesses that limit children's growth and result in poor educational performance. About 11 million children under the age of two are at risk of malnutrition effects such as wasting, according to UNICEF.

Geographically, the diets of only 19% of children between 6 and 23 months old in South Asia meet the minimum food diversity requirements. In Africa, the percentage is less than a quarter, while in Latin America and the Caribbean, the number reached 62%.

UNICEF explained that many families are buying food rather than producing it themselves, which made them dependent on food systems.

However, Jenny Vaughan, UNICEF UK’s senior policy adviser on child health, believes that "progress can still be made with joint global action to build, strengthen and transform food systems so children can get the nutrition they need to survive and thrive."

The report stressed the need for governments to ensure strong food systems that supply nutritious diets with diverse food.
