International news for school assembly
- Monsoon rains in Lahore shattered a 44-year record for daily maximum rainfall on Thursday causing severe flooding across streets, homes, and public hospitals in Pakistan’s Punjab province capital. The deluge resulted in the deaths of three people, according to officials.
- On Thursday, Bangladesh outlawed Jamaat-e-Islami and its student organisation, Islami Chhatra Shibir, under anti-terrorism legislation. This move came in response to widespread unrest over the government job quota system, with the fundamentalist group accused of inciting protests that resulted in at least 150 deaths.
- The Indian Embassy in Beirut on Thursday urgently advised Indian nationals to avoid travelling to Lebanon and to leave the country due to escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. Since October 8 of the previous year, violence has intensified along the border between Israeli forces and Hezbollah. This past Tuesday, Israel conducted an airstrike in southern Beirut targeting Hezbollah’s top military commander, Fouad Shukur. Israel later confirmed Shukur’s death, stating he was responsible for a recent rocket attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that resulted in the deaths of 12 young people.
- Polish and German presidents solemnly honoured the victims of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 on Thursday, bowing their heads to the beat of a military drum on the 80th anniversary of the ill-fated revolt. As Poland commemorated this significant day, the news emerged that Barbara Sowa, the oldest surviving insurgent at 106 years old, had passed away that morning. Her death, with so few survivors remaining, served as a poignant reminder of the dwindling generation shaped by the sacrifices of World War II.
- Thousands of predominantly young Nigerians took to the streets on Thursday, to protest the country’s worst cost-of-living crisis in decades. In response, security forces used tear gas to disperse crowds in various locations.
