Several humanitarian aid organizations have suspended operations in Gaza after an Israeli airstrike killed seven World Central Kitchen workers

The deaths of seven World Central Kitchen workers in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza was a tragic turn for an American homegrown charity that, in less than 15 years, has mushroomed from the grassroots brainchild of a celebrity chef into one of the world’s...

Israel-Hamas war has led to destruction of infrastructure worth $18.5 billion On Monday, an Israeli military strike resulted in the tragic deaths of seven aid workers from the non-profit organisation World Central Kitchen as they were delivering food to starving civilians in Gaza.

Israel and Iran have fought a shadow war across the Middle East, trading attacks by land, sea, air and in cyberspace. Iran has largely used foreign proxies to strike Israeli interests, while targeted assassinations of Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists have been a key part of Israel's strategy. Israel's strike in the Syrian capital, Damascus, that killed three top Iranian commanders Monday was the most brazen attack in years, raising fears of a wider confrontation. That would be particularly dangerous in a region already in turmoil on multiple fronts, including Israel's war in the Gaza Strip, cross-border skirmishes between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and attacks by Yemen's Houthi militia against Western interests in the Red Sea. An escalation between Israel and Iran would also risk further entangling the United States, given the presence of U.S. troops in the region.

As Canada’s immigration grows, a new study suggests babies born to immigrant parents are at an increased risk of complications at birth.The rate of stillbirth, which is fetal death occurring after 20 weeks of gestation or at a birth weight of at least 500 grams, was higher among immigrant parents when compared to native Canadians, according to research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) Tuesday.The likelihood of preterm birth, when the baby is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy are completed, was also higher for immigrant parents admitted into Canada on an economic and family reunification basis, as well as for refugees.Researchers at McGill University and Université de Montréal looked at Statistics Canada data of nearly eight million Canadian births – out of which 21 per cent were to immigrants – over a 25-year period between 1993 and 2017.“We found differences in outcomes not only between Canadian-born parents and immigrants, but also by the admission category among immigrants,” said Seungmi Yang, study co-author and associate professor in the department of epidemiology, biostatistics and occupational health at McGill University, in an interview with Global News.“Births to immigrant parents had increased risk of several but not all adverse outcomes,” the authors wrote in the study.While the risk of small for gestational age (SGA) birth was higher among the immigrant population, there was a lower risk of large for gestational age (LGA) birth compared to Canadian-born parents, the study found.SGA birth is when the baby is born with a birth weight below the 10th percentile among an infant population of the same sex and gestational age.
