Jan 10, 2025

Gaza [Palestine], January 10: The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has reported that at least 74 children have been killed in the Gaza Strip during the first seven days of 2025 due to relentless violence.
"For the children of Gaza, the new year has brought more death and suffering from attacks, deprivation, and increasing exposure to the cold," said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell.
"UNICEF has long warned that inadequate shelter, lack of access to nutrition and healthcare, the dire sanitary situation, and now the winter weather put the lives of all children in Gaza at risk. Newborns and children with medical conditions are especially vulnerable," noted Russell.

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], November 14: For a family in a district town in Uttar Pradesh, seeing a neuropsychiatrist can mean taking a day off work, travelling to Lucknow and making the same journey for follow-up. Dr. R. K. Thukral, a senior neuropsychiatrist and Chairman and Managing Director of Omnicare Health House, has spent much of his career bringing care closer to those families. Over the years, he has run approximately 19 centres across Uttar Pradesh and continues to serve patients through satellite centres. Online consultations are available to patients in India and abroad, and digital prescriptions give families a record they can refer to between visits.
