'Tempat selamat untuk berlindung adalah langit' - Penduduk Gaza

GAZA: Tempat yang paling selamat untuk berlindung daripada kekejaman Zionis di Gaza adalah langit.

Itu gambaran seorang penduduk Gaza, Ramez Al-Qassas yang buntu mencari tempat perlindungan selamat di wilayah itu.

Sementara itu, orang ramai berkumpul di Hospital Nasser, Gaza pada Rabu bagi menghadiri pengebumian empat ahli keluarga yang terbunuh akibat serangan udara Israel yang menyasarkan rumah mereka di Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis.

Serangan tersebut mengorbankan seorang kanak-kanak, dua wanita dan seorang lelaki di selatan Gaza.

Serangan itu merupakan siri serangan dilakukan rejim Zionis di Gaza selepas mereka mendakwa Hamas menyembunyikan anggota pejuang bersenjata di dalam bangunan kediaman penduduk awam, termasuk sekolah dan hospital.

Hamas bagaimanapun menafikan dakwaan dangkal tersebut.

Niaga SPOTLIGHT: Costing The Silent Threat of Obesity

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Malaysia are a growing burden on the health system, with a number of associated health issues and economic costs.

The annual cost of healthcare for NCDs is estimated to be over RM 9.65 billion. Meanwhile, the cost of disability and loss of healthy life years is estimated to be around RM 100.79 billion. Absenteeism due to NCDs is estimated to cost the Malaysian economy RM 2.6 billion annually.

From the common NCDs, obesity is one of THE most significant health threats, with nearly 20% of the Malaysian population currently classified as obese.

Additionally, more than half of all adults (54%) are overweight or obese. According to the World Obesity Atlas, this figure could rise to 41% in Malaysia by 2035, if preventive action is not taken.

Niaga Spotlight focuses on immediate strategies to address this growing silent threat of Obesity, which also burdens the national healthcare system as well as national productivity levels with significant impacts and costs.
