The governments of the United Arab Emirates and Seychelles have issued a joint press statement on the alarming food security situation and the risk of famine in Sudan. The crisis is directly caused by the 14 months of conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and the systematic obstruction of humanitarian aid by both parties. «We express deep concern over the report of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), published on 27th June 2024, which concluded: 14 months into the conflict, Sudan is facing the worst levels of acute food insecurity ever recorded by the IPC in the country,» reads the joint statement released by the Seychelles' Foreign Affairs Department on Tuesday. The statement added that the disturbing results in the report reveal an unprecedented level of food insecurity in Sudan, leaving 25.6 million people in high levels of acute food insecurity and 14 areas at risk of famine. «We are particularly concerned about the IPC reporting a »stark and rapid deterioration« in food security and the dire impact of the deteriorating situation on the safety and well-being of the civilians, including many thousands of children, suffering from severe acute malnutrition. We also express deep concern over the repercussions of prolongation of the conflict on Sudan and on the neighboring countries,» it said. «We particularly recognise that the deepening food insecurity in Sudan presents a significant humanitarian challenge with potential repercussions for displacement, refugees, and migration dynamics. This underscores the importance of a coordinated international response to the crisis. The two countries expressed their alarm »by the worsening humanitarian crisis and the tragic consequences of the conflict on the Sudanese people,« accordinging to the statement. Both the UAE and of Seychelles recall the UNSC request for the parties to the conflict to allow the rapid, safe, unhindered and sustained passage of humanitarian relief for civilians in need, including by removing bureaucratic and other impediments. »We stress that parties must facilitate the urgent provision of the required visas and travel authorisations for humanitarian personnel and essential supplies, in line with resolution 2736 adopted on 13 June 2024," said the statement. Both governments call on the warring parties in Sudan to immediately halt hostilities, respect their obligations under international humanitarian law and comply with all relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
As Seychelles continues to suffer the impacts of climate change, most of the fisheries sector is feeling the effects, except artisanal fishing which continues to see a rise in the amount of fish caught. The Minister for Fisheries and Blue Economy, Jean-Francois Ferrari, made the statement about this in the National Assembly, in response to a question asked by Waven William, the elected member of the National Assembly for the western Mahe district of Grand Anse Mahe. Ferrari said that the continuous increase in the ocean's temperature and the effects of El Nino and La Nina create an imbalance in the ecosystem. He added that phenomenons, like El Nino and La Nina, have had huge impacts on the temperature of the sea and the movement of sea currents, which could have affected the distribution of pelagic fishes in the Indian Ocean. «In 1998, El Nino had a huge impact on our fisheries sector, which even forced our purse seiners to look to fish elsewhere,» he added. Ferrari explained that the temperature rise has affected tuna fishing and since purse seiners target fish close to the surface, with the temperature rise, they had to move elsewhere, where the temperature is cooler. «Last year, these vessels experienced a decline in tuna caught in the Indian Ocean region. It went down by 10 percent, from 403,000 tonnes to 373,000 tonnes. In the Seychelles' waters, the decline has been even more substantial, from 113,566 tonnes to 69,000 tonnes, representing a decrease of about 40 percent,» he shared. «As a result, there is an impact on our marine resources and it is also posing a threat to the livelihoods of our fishermen and the people who depend on these resources,» the minister explained. Fisheries is the second top contributor to the economy of Seychelles, an archipelago in the western Indian Ocean. He said however, the studies done on the local fisheries sector, show that artisanal fishermen have maintained and even increased their catch over the last 20 years. «This is mainly in terms of fish traps, and the scientists at the SFA (Seychelles Fishing Authority) said that it is because many coral reefs affected by bleaching, have changed their state and transformed into one dominated by micro-algae, which favours herbivorous fish. These are those mostly caught using traps,» said Ferrari. He added that recent information shows that fish caught through this type of fishery has increased from about 2,500 tonnes in 2016 to 5,700 tonnes in 2023.

The cleanup of the oil spill which stained Singapore's shores last month is moving along faster than expected. Less than a month ago, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu said that the second phase would take around three months. But in a Facebook post on Tuesday (July 16), Fu said the oil spill is «almost gone». «Clean-up of the oil off rock bunds and on the beach is progressing faster than we expected,» she added. «Siloso Beach and Area B of East Coast Park are now in the final phase of clean-up operations.» The oil spill occurred at Pasir Panjang Terminal on June 14 due to a collision between a dredging boat and a bunker vessel, which saw 400 tonnes of fuel pour into the sea. This affected shorelines around Singapore such as Sentosa, Labrador Nature Reserve, the Southern Islands and East Coast Park, among other areas.
While jogging at a neighbourhood park, a man tripped over the uneven path and fell, scraping his arm and knee and also fracturing his shoulder. The incident occurred on the morning of July 6 at Bukit Purmei Hillock Park, reported Shin Min Daily News. The man surnamed Chen, 61, said that his shoe had gotten caught in the cracks of a path leading to a staircase. He fell on his arms, which he had raised to shield his head. Another jogger passing by helped him up and took him to sit at a park bench nearby, where a dizzy Chen rested for about 15 minutes before slowly making his way home. His left arm was bleeding profusely and gravel had gotten in the wound. Chen's daughter, who is a nurse, helped clean and bandage the scrape before taking him to the A&E department of a hospital. «The examination found that the injuries on my left knee and left elbow were superficial. But after an X-ray, they discovered that I fractured my left shoulder,» he recounted.
As a member of the packing team in the NDP Pack Committee, Private Muhammad Noor Hyder Bin Zaini often spends long hours moving heavy boxes around the packing site in Nee Soon Camp. Thankfully, an exoskeleton suit has made his job slightly easier by helping to lighten the loads he carries. As part of his job, the 20-year-old has to lift boxes of the 2024 NDP packs up onto the pallets. Each box, containing 15 NDP packs, weighs about 10kg. «It mainly helps to support my back, so I don't have to use too much effort [to lift the boxes]. The boxes feel a lot lighter,» he said to AsiaOne on Tuesday (July 16). Describing what it's like to wear the 10kg exoskeleton suit, Hyder said: «I feel like a Transformer.» The exoskeleton suit comes with straps that are fitted on his legs, as well as shoulder straps which are worn like a backpack. The user is also able to adjust the amount of support required by adjusting the buttons on the side of the suit. «It felt a little heavy at first, but after a while I got used to it and it feels like a part of my body,» said Hyder, who added he can wear the suit for up to two hours at a time.
