Sri Lanka’s capital and surrounding areas have been severely flooded following Cyclone Ditwah, with authorities reporting nearly 200 dead and hundreds missing.

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake declared a state of emergency and appealed for international aid, with India, Pakistan, and Japan already sending relief teams. Rescue efforts continue as risks of further landslides persist.

Uzbek Muslims Pray For Rain Amid Severe Drought

Uzbek Muslims Pray For Rain Amid Severe Drought

Mass prayers were held in nearly 2,000 mosques across Uzbekistan as the country grapples with one of its harshest droughts in 170 years. With rainfall delayed and water sources shrinking, religious leaders called on Muslims to seek divine intervention, drawing thousands to prayer grounds in Tashkent and other regions. Worshippers described the situation as unprecedented, attributing the worsening crisis to prolonged dry spells and extreme weather patterns. Experts warn that the drought reflects broader climate stresses in Central Asia, where temperatures in Uzbekistan have risen nearly three times faster than the global average over the past six decades. Melting glaciers—the region’s primary water source—are disappearing rapidly, with UN reports warning of potential loss by the end of the century. Severe pollution, reliance on coal, and limited effectiveness of rain-making technology further complicate the crisis as authorities struggle to respond.

Indigenous Protesters Clash With Security At COP30 Summit In Brazil

Dozens of Indigenous protesters clashed with security at the COP30 UN Climate Change Conference in Belem, Brazil, on Tuesday, leaving two security staff with minor injuries and causing minor damage to the venue. Protesters breached barriers at the main entrance to the “blue zone,” where high-level negotiations take place, seeking to highlight the ongoing destruction of Indigenous lands. Calm was quickly restored after security personnel used barricades and evacuated the affected areas. Maria Clara, a protester, said the demonstration was meant to draw attention to the plight of Indigenous peoples, asserting, “These voices are ignored.” Organizers of the March for Health and Climate emphasized that their event, which preceded the incident, was peaceful and dialogue-driven. The UN confirmed the venue is fully secured and negotiations continue, while Brazilian and UN authorities investigate the clash.
