- at 10/29/24 5:43amWomen all over the world live fearing breast cancer, an insidious disease that occurs with no known risk factors. With a mere five to 10 percent of cases linked to heredity, being a female over 40 years old is the only risk factor. Nearly 2.3 million women around the world were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, leading to 670,000 deaths. It is the most prevalent cancer among women in Egypt, representing 34.9 percent of all cancer cases as of 2022, amounting to around 27,000 cases, according to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Cancer Observatory (Globocan) report. Breast cancer is also the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Egypt, following liver cancer, with an estimated mortality rate of 10.8 percent in 2020, as reported by WHO’s 2020 Cancer Country Profile of Egypt. By 2050, cases are projected to reach roughly 46,000 among Egyptian women, a 2014 study by Egypt’s National Cancer Registry Program (NCRP), reported.

- — Israel Votes to Ban UNRWA Operations, Declares It a Terror Group
- at 10/29/24 5:01amIsrael’s Knesset voted late Monday, 28 October, to ban the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) from operating within Israel, East Jerusalem, Gaza, and the West Bank. The legislation, passed 92-10, bars UNRWA from conducting “any activity” or providing services within Israel. The restriction will take effect in 90 days. Israeli lawmakers also designated UNRWA a terror organization, effectively blocking any direct engagement between the Israeli government and the agency. The new law mandates the closure of UNRWA’s East Jerusalem office, restricts entry permits for foreign staff, and interrupts aid routes into Gaza. Israel justified the move by citing allegations of UNRWA staff involvement in terrorism. The Israeli government alleges that more than 10 percent of UNRWA’s staff in Gaza have ties to terrorist factions and that educational facilities under the organization’s auspices consistently incite hatred of Israel and glorify terror. Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA’s Commissioner-General, condemned the vote as “unprecedented” and a violation of Israel’s international obligations, stating that it “will only deepen the suffering of Palestinians, especially in Gaza, where people have been going through more than a year of sheer hell.” Lazzarini highlighted that This content is for members only.

- at 10/29/24 5:00amA boat carrying 13 Egyptian migrants to Europe capsized off the coast of Libya on Monday evening, killing all on board except for one survivor, local authorities reported on Tuesday, 29 October. The Directorate for Combating Illegal Migration in Tobruk confirmed that the boat capsized 60 kilometers (37 miles) east of Tobruk. Egypts Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigration has not yet commented on the incident. In recent years, the Central Mediterranean Route has witnessed a surge in irregular migration, often culminating in tragic shipwrecks. Egyptians, constituting seven percent of arrivals to Italy in 2023, were the fifth-most common nationality among arrivals in Italy in the same year. Despite the well-known dangers and risks, many young Egyptians and their families continue to pursue irregular migration in hopes of better job opportunities and living conditions. Although Egyptian authorities have successfully curbed migrant boat departures from the north coast since 2016, smugglers continue to facilitate departures through neighboring Libya. The Egyptian government has undertaken significant efforts to mitigate the adverse impacts of irregular migration.

- at 10/26/24 8:59amEgyptAir announced on Saturday, 26 October morning, the cancellation of all flights to Baghdad and Erbil in Iraq, along with flight MS719 to Amman, Jordan, hours after Israel carried out airstrikes against Iran. The Egyptian company advised travelers to verify their bookings on the airlines website or by contacting the call center or through a local sales office or travel agent. Early Saturday, Israel publicly acknowledged for the first time that it had conducted a military operation against Iran, targeting military facilities in a retaliatory strike. Israeli air force targeted “missile manufacturing facilities,” used to produce missiles fired at Israel over the past year, according to the Israeli military. The strikes also hit “surface-to-air missile arrays and additional Iranian aerial capabilities,” which Israel claimed were intended to limit its freedom of operation in Iranian airspace. It remains unclear if these facilities were also involved in manufacturing missiles launched by Iranian proxies, including Hezbollah, Hamas, and Yemens Houthi rebels.

- at 10/25/24 4:46amKristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), cautioned on Thursday, 24 October, that Egypt’s delay in implementing essential economic reforms risks elevating costs and increasing burdens on its citizens. Speaking at a virtual press briefing during the IMF and World Bank’s Annual Meetings, Georgieva emphasized the need for prompt action to stabilize the Egyptian economy. “Delays in necessary actions have raised costs, which ultimately fall upon the people,” Georgieva remarked, noting that while the IMF remains open to adapting Egypt’s reform program to better serve its people, postponing vital measures only heightens their eventual price. “We can’t serve the country well if we ignore the actions needed now,” she added. President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi addressed the nation on Monday, 21 October, instructing government officials to reconsider the IMF’s economic reform program if it increases public hardship. “If our current agreement with the IMF creates an unbearable strain on the people, it is vital to review it,” he said.
