For a week, demonstrations have taken place in over a dozen cities, highlighting issues like corruption and lack of opportunity. Similar movements have occurred in countries like Madagascar, Kenya, Peru, and Nepal. In Morocco, the protests are fueled by dissatisfaction with government spending on stadiums for the 2030 FIFA World Cup while the health system struggles. The leaderless group Gen Z 212, using platforms like Discord, is behind these protests. They demand government accountability and reforms, reflecting widespread frustration with living conditions. Authorities have initially responded with both crackdowns followed by offers of dialogue. WorkJournalists work in dire conditions to tell Gaza's story Minutes after journalists converged on the site of an Israeli strike in Gaza, cameraman Ibrahim Qannan began a live broadcast. He was watching, in horror, when a second strike killed his friends and colleagues. "We live side by side with death," Qannan, a correspondent for Egypt's Al-Ghad TV said in an interview. The death of five journalists in August's strike adds to a toll of nearly 200 news workers killed in Gaza since the war began. Most who survive have seen their homes destroyed during the war and many have mourned the deaths of family members. And each workday, they say, is shadowed by an awareness that they are singularly visible in the conflict, putting them at extraordinary risk.

The World Food Program says the number of people receiving emergency food aid in Somalia will drop from 1.1 million people in August to 350,000 in November due to critical funding shortfalls. On Friday, Ross Smith, the agency's director, warned that without urgent funding, families already struggling will be left with nothing. The U.N. reports 4.6 million people in Somalia face crisis levels of hunger. U.S. foreign aid cuts have worsened the situation for humanitarian agencies.
