<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:18px"><strong>People living close to the epicentre of an Ebola outbreak which has killed 131 people have told BBC News of their fear, as a World Health Organization (WHO) representative warned cases may be spreading faster than originally thought.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been declared a public health emergency of international concern, by the World Health Organization (WHO).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The latest outbreak is challenging because it involves a rare strain of Ebola for which there is no vaccine, and cases have been found in an area affected by conflict.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One man in the Democratic Republic of Congo&rsquo;s Ituri province, the epicentre of the outbreak, said infected people were dying « very fast », and added: « Ebola has tortured us. »</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Officials said more than 513 cases were suspected in DR Congo as of Tuesday, while one person has died in neighbouring Uganda.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The WHO&rsquo;s Dr Anne Ancia told the BBC that the more the agency investigates the outbreak, the clearer it becomes cases have spread to other areas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Modelling by the London-based MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis released on Monday suggested there had been « substantial » under-detection, and that it could not rule out there had already been more than 1,000 cases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The study suggested that the current outbreak is « larger than currently ascertained » and that its « true magnitude remains uncertain ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A man who spoke to BBC News and identified himself as Bigboy said people are « really scared » and doing what they can to protect themselves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He said locals are taking precautions such as washing hands with clean water, but added that he wished they could get access to other protective supplies such as face masks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another Ituri local, Alfred Giza, said people in the community are aware of the threat and waiting to receive face masks to protect themselves, but that he would not know what to do if a family member or friend contracted the disease.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/480/cpsprodpb/668c/live/ebef8f10-5384-11f1-b682-cf91850925ea.png.webp" alt="Map showing Ebola outbreak in DR Congo and Uganda. Red dots indicate reported cases. Most cases and deaths are concentrated in Ituri Province in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo, highlighted in pink. Locations marked include Mongwalu, Bunia (noted as the first suspected case), Rwampara, Nyakunde, and Butembo, with additional points at Goma near the Rwanda border. In Uganda, a case is marked in Kampala, described as confirmed in travellers from DR Congo. Surrounding countries such as Rwanda and Tanzania are labelled, along with lakes and borders. A small inset map shows Africa with the outbreak region highlighted."/></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Red Cross warned that Ebola can escalate quickly if cases are not identified early, communities lack information and health systems are overwhelmed, adding that « we are seeing all those conditions » in the current outbreak.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On Tuesday, DR Congo President Félix Tshisekedi called for « calm » and urged Congolese citizens to remain vigilant, after holding a crisis meeting on Monday evening.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who declared the outbreak an international emergency last week, said he was « deeply concerned about the scale and speed of the epidemic ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is feared the outbreak may have been ongoing for several weeks before it was first detected on 24 April.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is no vaccine for the strain of Ebola virus fuelling the latest rise in cases, but the WHO is evaluating whether other drugs may provide protection.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speaking to BBC Newsday, Ancia said DR Congo&rsquo;s Ituri province was a « very unsecured area with lots of movement of population », making it difficult for the agency to investigate and help control the disease.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She continued: « The more we are investigating this outbreak, the more we realise that it has already disseminated at least a little bit across border and also in other provinces. »</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/480/cpsprodpb/0d07/live/2c1f0190-5373-11f1-89a3-d1f559421220.jpg.webp" alt="World Health Organization/Handout via Reuters A woman inspects large boxes of aid on shipment pallets"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">WHO is sending tonnes of health supplies to DR Congo, including personal protective equipment (PPE) and medicine</figcaption></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The outbreak has spread to the province of South Kivu, where the population has been affected by a humanitarian crisis for many years, she added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There has also been a case in eastern DR Congo&rsquo;s biggest city, Goma, which has a population of around 850,000 people and under the control of Rwandan-backed rebels.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">High levels of insecurity in several provinces mean people move around often, increasing the risk and spread of the virus, she said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Several African countries are taking precautions by tightening border screenings and preparing health facilities. Neighbouring Rwanda has also closed its borders with DR Congo. Uganda has told people to avoid hugging and shaking hands.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An American citizen, <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjwpy2qww5do" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">believed to be missionary group doctor Peter Stafford</a>, is being evacuated from DR Congo after developing symptoms over the weekend.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Germany&rsquo;s health ministry told the BBC a US citizen was being taken to the country for treatment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it was working to evacuate at least six other Americans who were exposed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WHO and other agencies are working with governments and communities to try to stop the spread of the virus, urging residents to follow preventative measures and report to the nearest health facility if they experience any symptoms.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="font-size:18px"><strong>What is Ebola and how does it spread?</strong></h2>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/480/cpsprodpb/5fde/live/92976140-5366-11f1-8b8c-6d33e1d5abb6.png.webp" alt="A graphic explaining the different symptoms of Ebola and how it attacks the human body"/></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ebola is caused by a virus and initially causes symptoms similar to the flu, with fever, headache and tiredness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the disease progresses, vomiting and diarrhoea develop and it can lead to organ failure. Some, but not all, patients develop internal and external bleeding.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The virus spreads from one person to another by contact with infected bodily fluids such as blood or vomit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Bundibugyo strain fuelling this rise in cases is rare, and has previously only caused two outbreaks, when it killed about a third of those infected.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Between 2014 and 2016, more than 28,600 people were infected by Ebola in West Africa, the largest outbreak of the virus since its discovery in 1976.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It was caused by the Zaire strain, for which there is an approved vaccine.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The disease spread to a number of countries in West Africa and beyond, including Guinea, Sierra Leone, the US, UK and Italy, killing 11,325 people.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The attacks came despite US President Donald Trump’s promise to further delay attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure by 10 days – until April 6 – as he continues to claim talks with Iran on a peace deal are going “very well”.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Israel has issued displacement orders for all residents of Lebanon living south of the Zahrani River – located some 50km (31 miles) from the border with Israel – as Lebanon’s Health Ministry reports more than 1,100 people killed in Israeli attacks since March 2.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf says the US’s spamming of “fake news” to alter the energy markets and push prices down had only made it “numb”.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:18px"><strong>The global rights group says erosion of health, safety in Gaza ‘a deliberate act of war targeting women and girls’.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Palestinian women in <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/3/9/how-us-israel-war-on-iran-deepens-gaza-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Gaza Strip</a> have been “denied the conditions needed to live and to give life safely” by Israel amid its genocidal war on the enclave, according to Amnesty International, a global rights group.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Amnesty warned on Tuesday that women and girls in Gaza have been pushed “to the brink” as the Israeli war has spurred a series of hardships, from mass displacement to the destruction of the local healthcare system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pregnant women, as well as those who need treatment for cancer and other illnesses, have been particularly hard-hit by the lack of adequate health services in the territory, Amnesty said in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2026/03/israels-genocide-in-gaza-inflicts-compounded-harms-on-women/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a statement</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This systematic erosion of their rights to health, safety, dignity and a future is not an unfortunate by-product of war; it is a deliberate act of war targeting women and girls,” the group said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It is also the foreseeable consequence of Israel’s <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/3/8/palestinians-risk-life-and-limb-to-fish-in-gazas-israeli-controlled-sea" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">calculated policies</a> and practices of multiple mass displacement, deliberate restrictions on basic and essential items, as well as humanitarian relief, and two years of relentless bombardment that have devastated Gaza’s health system and decimated entire families.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">More than 72,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel’s war on Gaza began in October 2023.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Israeli <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/11/11/how-many-times-has-israel-violated-the-gaza-ceasefire-here-are-the-numbers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">attacks have continued</a> despite a US-brokered “ceasefire” that came into effect in October of last year, killing more than 600 people, according to the latest figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Israel also continues to impede the steady flow of humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of people remain displaced across the Strip due to the Israeli bombardment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Last week, the United Nations humanitarian office (OCHA) said the health sector in Gaza remains “under significant constraints” as a result of the restrictions on medical supplies and equipment, as well as fuel.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Sexual and reproductive health services remain severely disrupted due to damaged infrastructure, shortages of essential medicines and supplies and limited referral capacity,”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ochaopt.org/content/humanitarian-situation-report-6-march-2026" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">OCHA said</a>, noting that as many as 180 women give birth daily in Gaza.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Severe bed shortages mean women undergoing major procedures, including Caesarean sections, are often discharged within hours and return to overcrowded displacement settings, increasing risks of complications and infection,” the agency said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="maternal-neonatal-health-problems">Maternal, neonatal health problems</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That was echoed by Amnesty, which said on Tuesday that medical workers in Gaza reported “an exponential increase in maternal and neonatal health conditions over the past 29 months” as a result of Israel’s genocide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That includes pre-term births, low-weight babies and babies suffering from respiratory conditions, malnutrition of pregnant women, and postpartum depression, the rights group said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Displacement conditions have led to infectious diseases,” Dr Nasser Bulbol, a neonatologist at Al Helou Hospital hospital in Gaza City, told Amnesty, noting that there has been an increase in high-risk pregnancies due to <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/2/16/rats-run-over-our-faces-gazas-displaced-forced-to-live-on-infested-land" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">conditions in the Strip</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“And most women come here under stress, trauma and uncertainty, having suffered multiple displacements, lost loved ones, unable to obtain the nutritious food they require.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A 22-year-old Palestinian woman originally from the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza said she weighed only 43 kilogrammes (94 pounds) when she gave birth to a son in mid-January.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“My baby was born with lung infection in both lungs; he spent several days in the intensive care unit and now is a bit better, but still cannot breathe properly on his own and is in an incubator,” said the woman, who is displaced and living in southern Gaza’s al-Mawasi area.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I am afraid he will get sicker because I live in a tent by the sea, and it has been very cold, and there is no way to keep warm. I also have another baby aged 18 months, and he too has been sick from the cold,” she told the rights group.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Despite displacement, Gaza families strive to create joy this Ramadan, navigating grief, scarcity, and fragile peace.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the Bureij refugee area in central Gaza, Maisoon al-Barbarawi welcomes the Islamic holy month of Ramadan in her tent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Simple decorations hang from its worn ceiling, alongside colourful drawings on the fabric walls, prepared by camp residents to mark the arrival of the blessed month.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We brought you decorations and a small lantern,” Maisoon tells her nine-year-old son, Hasan, smiling with an exhaustion tinged with joy at her ability to buy him a Ramadan lantern.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“My means are limited, but what matters is that the children feel happy,” Maisoon tells Al Jazeera, expressing cautious optimism about the month’s arrival.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I wanted these decorations to be a way out of the atmosphere of grief and sadness that has accompanied us over the past two years during the war.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maisoon, known to everyone as Umm Mohammed, is 52 years old and a mother of two children.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“My older son is 15, and the younger is nine years. They are the most precious things I have.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Every day they are safe is a day worth gratitude and joy,” she says with pride mixed with fear, referring to the terror that has accompanied her throughout the war at the thought of losing them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like other Palestinians in Gaza, what distinguishes this Ramadan is the relative calm that has come with the current ceasefire, compared with the previous two years, when Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, which has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians, was at its peak.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The situation is not completely calm,” Maisoon explains. Everyone knows the war hasn’t truly stopped; shelling still happens from time to time. But compared to the height of the war, things are less intense.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maisoon participates in camp administration activities, helping prepare bread and arrange dates and water for distribution, minutes before the call to prayer on the first day of Ramadan.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This is the third Ramadan we’ve spent in displacement. We lost our homes, our families, and many loved ones.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“But here in the camp, we have neighbours and friends who share the same pain and suffering, and we all want to support one another socially.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maisoon lost her home in southeastern Gaza at the beginning of the war and was forced to flee with her husband, Hassouna, and their children, moving between camps before eventually settling in Bureij under what she describes as “very bad conditions”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We are trying to create life and joy out of nothing. Ramadan and Eid come and go, but our situation remains the same,” she says after a brief pause.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image" id="attachment_4321297"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/873A3278-copy-1771385940.jpg?w=770&amp;resize=770%2C513&amp;quality=80" alt="A husband and wife with their son in a decorated tent" class="wp-image-4321297"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Maisoon al-Barbarawi, her husband Hassouna, and their son, Hasan, as they prepare for Ramadan in Gaza [Abdelhakim Abu Riash/Al Jazeera]</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="wounded-from-within">‘Wounded from within’</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maisoon’s words fluctuate between optimism and fear, but she insists that Ramadan is “a blessing”, despite everything around her.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the first day of Ramadan, she had not yet decided what she would cook for her family, as her limited means would only allow for a modest meal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But she had already prepared her prayers and wishes before breaking her fast.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I will pray that the war never returns. That is my daily prayer: that things calm down completely and that the army withdraw from our land,” she says, pointing to bullet holes in her tent caused by gunfire from an Israeli quadcopter drone days earlier.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fear of the war’s return during Ramadan is not unique to Maisoon, but is shared by many across the Gaza Strip, who worry about a renewed escalation, similar to last year when fighting resumed on March 19, 2025, coinciding with the second week of Ramadan.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That renewed war was accompanied by the closure of crossings and a ban on food aid entering the enclave, triggering a severe food crisis and humanitarian famine that lasted until last September.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“People these days keep talking about stocking up. They tell us: store flour, store food… the war is coming back,” Maisoun says anxiously.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Last Ramadan was famine and war at the same time. I spent all my money during the previous famine.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“My little son used to pray for death because he craved food. Can you imagine?”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image" id="attachment_4321301"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/873A1586-copy-1771386480.jpg?w=770&amp;resize=770%2C513&amp;quality=80" alt="A man stands in a market" class="wp-image-4321301"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Al-Zawiya Market, one of Gaza’s most prominent central markets, is witnessing renewed commercial activity after a two-year war, as the holy month of Ramadan begins [Abdelhakim Abu Riash/Al Jazeera]</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="bitter-memories">Bitter memories</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gaza enters this year’s Ramadan under a “ceasefire” that began on October 10, 2025.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That truce remains fragile, but reports from the World Food Programme (WFP) and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) indicate a relative improvement in the availability of certain food items, compared with periods of severe escalation and closures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Commercial activity has partially resumed, and aid has entered at a steadier pace, though the flow remains inconsistent and subject to restrictions and logistical obstacles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite a broader range of goods appearing in markets, prices remain high, and purchasing power is severely weakened, with large segments of the population still reliant on humanitarian assistance to meet basic needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many Palestinians in Gaza continue to rely on aid organisations to eat.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hanan al-Attar is one of them. She received a food parcel from a relief organisation on the first day of Ramadan.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Opening the package with a broad smile, she celebrates its contents while her grandchildren gather around her.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This is fava beans, halva, dates, tahini, oil, lentils, beans, spreadable cheese, mortadella, mashallah, an excellent parcel,” Hanan tells her daughter standing nearby.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This will be perfect for tomorrow’s suhoor,” she says, referring to the predawn meal before Muslims begin fasting for the day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hanan, 55, is a mother of eight who fled to Deir el-Balah a year ago from Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, one of the hardest-hit places by Israel during the war.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She tells Al Jazeera that she will have to depend on whatever aid arrives to sustain her during Ramadan, due to her difficult economic situation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Today, thank God, we received assistance. This will ease my worry about what we will break our fast with,” says Hanan, who shares a tent with 15 family members, including children and grandchildren.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Smiling, she admits she secretly set aside a small amount of money to prepare a tray of potatoes with minced meat and rice for the first iftar.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I saved a small amount to buy a kilo of meat tomorrow. Fasting requires protein,” she says in a low voice, noting that preparing a meal now depends entirely on what is available that same day, as storage conditions are nearly nonexistent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“As you can see, there is no electricity, no infrastructure, no refrigerators to store vegetables or meat if we buy them.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We purchase what we need day by day so the food does not spoil.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yet the other side of Ramadan for Hanan is measured not by preparation but by those absent from the table.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tears fill her eyes as she mentions her two sons in their late twenties who were killed in a strike last year, one leaving behind a daughter not yet two years old.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This is the first Ramadan after the martyrdom of my sons Abdullah and Mohammed,” she says through tears.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“You feel the emptiness. It’s hard. When the family gathers and members are missing, you feel deep pain.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image" id="attachment_4321307"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/873A3361-copy-1771386654.jpg?w=770&amp;resize=770%2C513&amp;quality=80" alt="A woman sorts through cans from an aid package" class="wp-image-4321307"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Hanan al-Attar is happy to receive a precious aid package at the start of Ramadan in Gaza [Abdelhakim Abu Riash/Al Jazeera]</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="cooking-in-the-tent-fire-wind-and-plastic">Cooking in the tent: Fire, wind, and plastic</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Still, Hanan’s sorrow is briefly interrupted by the practicalities of preparing the cooking space.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Unfortunately, Ramadan hasn’t changed our reality. We’ve been cooking over open fire for two years. The wind blows out the flame, and my son tries to shield it with plastic.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She relies on firewood due to prolonged shortages of cooking gas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I managed to fill an eight-kilo gas cylinder two months ago and refused to use it until Ramadan,” she says, pulling out the hidden cylinder.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Gas is like treasure for us. I planned to save it for suhoor or something quick. It would be difficult to light a fire at dawn.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“In the end, everything passes. What matters is that we remain together in health and safety, and that we do not live through famine or war again,” she adds, her voice shifting to prayers for peace.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The memory of famine further deepens her anxiety.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She repeats the word “difficult” as she recalls the months when prices soared and food disappeared after last Ramadan.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She describes grinding lentils to replace flour and mixing them with pasta or rice to feed as many family members as possible.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To make the bread stretch, she cut it into smaller portions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I make it smaller, so it’s enough for everyone.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And yet, her final wish, repeated like a prayer, echoes what many in Gaza seek this Ramadan: nothing more than “goodness and peace”, and a return home from displacement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“May this Ramadan be one of goodness and peace for everyone… and may we return to our homes and our land.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:20px">Nous pleurons lorsque nous sommes tristes, bouleversés, en colère ou même heureux.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mais saviez-vous que les humains sont la seule espèce connue à verser des larmes émotionnelles ?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Si de nombreux animaux pleurent bruyamment lorsqu&rsquo;ils sont bébés pour signaler leur détresse, ils ne semblent pas disposer des connexions cérébrales nécessaires pour déclencher des larmes en réponse à des émotions complexes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Les scientifiques comprennent comment fonctionnent les larmes, mais ils ne savent toujours pas exactement pourquoi les humains pleurent ni à quoi servent les larmes émotionnelles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Que sont les larmes ?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Les larmes sont composées de cinq éléments : du mucus, des électrolytes, de l&rsquo;eau, des protéines et des lipides », explique le Dr Marie Bannier-Hélaouët, chercheuse postdoctorale à l&rsquo;Institut de biologie humaine en Suisse.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Elle explique à l&rsquo;émission CrowdScience de BBC World Service que ces éléments ont tous des propriétés différentes. Les protéines, par exemple, ont des propriétés antivirales et antibactériennes, tandis que les électrolytes sont des minéraux essentiels au bon fonctionnement de l&rsquo;organisme.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Il existe trois types de larmes.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Les larmes basales sont celles qui sont toujours présentes à la surface de l&rsquo;œil. Elles permettent de lubrifier l&rsquo;œil », explique le chercheur.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Quant aux larmes réflexes, elles sont sécrétées lorsqu&rsquo;un irritant, comme un insecte ou de la poussière, pénètre dans l&rsquo;œil.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ceci est détecté par les cellules nerveuses de la cornée, la couche externe transparente en forme de dôme de l&rsquo;œil qui agit comme une barrière protectrice contre les germes et les débris.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Elle possède la plus forte densité de cellules nerveuses de tout le corps. Selon Bannier-Hélaouët, celles-ci peuvent détecter la température, les contraintes mécaniques et la sécheresse.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Les messages provenant des cellules nerveuses sont transmis à une région du cerveau appelée noyau lacrymal qui contrôle les larmes, lequel signale ensuite aux glandes lacrymales d&rsquo;augmenter la production de larmes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Larmes d&rsquo;émotion</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le troisième type de larmes, les larmes émotionnelles, est celui où les choses se compliquent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Les zones du cerveau chargées du traitement des émotions communiquent également avec le noyau lacrymal, mais par des voies plus complexes qu&rsquo;un simple réflexe protecteur.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Selon Ad Vingerhoets, professeur émérite de psychologie clinique à l&rsquo;université de Tilburg aux Pays-Bas, les pleurs reflètent souvent une surcharge émotionnelle plutôt qu&rsquo;un sentiment unique.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Les émotions se manifestent rarement sous une forme pure. Il s&rsquo;agit très souvent d&rsquo;un mélange ou d&rsquo;une alternance rapide de différentes émotions », explique-t-il.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Il explique également que les raisons pour lesquelles nous pleurons changent émotionnellement à mesure que nous vieillissons. La douleur physique est un déclencheur important chez les enfants, mais moins chez les adultes et les personnes âgées.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">En vieillissant, les pleurs sont de plus en plus liés à l&#8217;empathie : nous pleurons « non seulement pour nos propres souffrances, mais aussi pour celles des autres ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vingerhoets note que les émotions positives, telles que celles suscitées par la beauté de l&rsquo;art ou de la nature, peuvent également provoquer des larmes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>À quoi bon pleurer ?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beaucoup de gens disent se sentir soulagés après avoir pleuré, mais les scientifiques ne s&rsquo;accordent pas sur la réalité de cet effet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lauren Bylsma, psychologue clinicienne et professeure agrégée à l&rsquo;université de Pittsburgh aux États-Unis, utilise des capteurs de fréquence cardiaque pour tenter de déterminer si pleurer nous aide à nous sentir mieux.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Les électrocardiogrammes enregistrent le rythme et la fréquence cardiaques, ce qui peut nous donner un aperçu du fonctionnement de notre système nerveux.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ses premiers résultats suggèrent que juste avant de commencer à pleurer, l&rsquo;activité pourrait atteindre son pic dans notre système nerveux sympathique, qui est responsable de notre réponse « combat ou fuite ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Et puis, juste après le début des pleurs, explique-t-elle, c&rsquo;est là que nous constatons une augmentation de l&rsquo;activité parasympathique », la branche du système nerveux qui nous aide à nous calmer et à nous détendre.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mais Vingerhoets souligne que pleurer ne nous aide pas toujours à nous sentir mieux, surtout si nous souffrons de dépression ou d&rsquo;épuisement professionnel.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cela dépend également de ce qui nous fait pleurer. « Nous signalons principalement une amélioration de notre humeur lorsque nous pleurons pour des situations contrôlables, mais pas lorsque nous pleurons pour des situations incontrôlables », explique-t-il.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Légende image,Si les personnes qui nous entourent réagissent mal, pleurer pourrait nous faire nous sentir encore plus mal, selon Vingerhoets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Les personnes qui nous entourent peuvent également faire la différence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Si elles réagissent avec compréhension et vous offrent leur soutien et leur réconfort, vous vous sentez mieux. Mais si elles se moquent de vous, se mettent en colère ou vous font honte, vous ne ressentirez aucun soulagement », explique-t-il.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Signal social</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Il existe en effet certaines preuves que les pleurs peuvent influencer le comportement des autres à notre égard.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Une étude menée en laboratoire en Israël a révélé que les hommes qui avaient senti les larmes émotionnelles de femmes se montraient moins agressifs lors des tests que ceux qui avaient senti une solution saline.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Les chercheurs s&rsquo;accordent à dire que les larmes fonctionnent comme un signal social pour montrer que nous avons besoin d&rsquo;aide et inciter les autres à nous venir en aide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Certaines études suggèrent que les larmes émotionnelles peuvent nous rendre plus dignes de confiance, ce qui a peut-être aidé nos ancêtres à coopérer et à se soutenir mutuellement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">En ce qui concerne les nourrissons qui pleurent, il existe des preuves que les pleurs d&rsquo;un bébé peuvent activer un réseau de zones cérébrales chez les adultes qui déclenchent une réponse de soins.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vingerhoets pense que les larmes humaines ont peut-être évolué parce que nous avons une enfance prolongée pendant laquelle nous dépendons de nos parents.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Selon lui, les larmes d&rsquo;un bébé pourraient contribuer à réduire l&rsquo;agressivité chez les adultes, car les pleurs « sont très agaçants et peuvent nous rendre agressifs ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Cela serait tout à fait logique en tant que forme d&rsquo;autoprotection pour le nourrisson, ce que je trouve très intrigant », explique-t-il.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Légende image,Répondre aux pleurs des nourrissons est essentiel à la survie de l&rsquo;espèce humaine.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Pourquoi certaines personnes pleurent-elles davantage ?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Selon Bylsma, les hommes pleurent en moyenne zéro à une fois par mois, tandis que les femmes pleurent quatre à cinq fois.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bien que cela puisse être un comportement acquis, le psychologue affirme que le fait que ce phénomène soit observé dans toutes les cultures suggère que ce n&rsquo;est pas tout.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Les femmes ont tendance à être plus réactives ou expressives sur le plan émotionnel en général, et je pense que les pleurs ne sont qu&rsquo;une manifestation de cette différence », dit-elle. « Il pourrait y avoir des différences neurologiques, hormonales ou de personnalité. »</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bylsma affirme qu&rsquo;il n&rsquo;existe actuellement aucune preuve solide indiquant que les changements hormonaux au cours du cycle menstruel influencent notre tendance à pleurer, mais elle soupçonne que les hormones jouent un rôle en raison des différences entre les sexes et de facteurs tels que la grossesse et le vieillissement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Elle a également étudié l&rsquo;effet des traits de personnalité et a découvert que les pleurs semblent être liés à un caractère particulièrement névrosé ou extraverti.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Le névrosisme est lié à la dépression et à l&rsquo;anxiété, ce qui pourrait expliquer ce lien », suggère-t-elle.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Nous avons également constaté que les personnes faisant preuve d&rsquo;une plus grande empathie étaient plus susceptibles de pleurer, probablement parce qu&rsquo;elles réagissent en pleurant lorsqu&rsquo;elles voient d&rsquo;autres personnes confrontées à des difficultés », ajoute-t-elle.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">En fin de compte, les pleurs semblent être liés aux relations sociales.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Comme l&rsquo;explique Vingerhoets, « les pleurs semblent fonctionner comme une sorte de point d&rsquo;exclamation. Ils peuvent vous faire prendre conscience que « c&rsquo;est quelque chose de très important ».</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Israel has recalled its ceasefire negotiating team for “consultations” after Hamas submitted a response to a proposed Gaza ceasefire deal to mediators.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The response reportedly includes amendments to conditions around the entry of aid, areas from which the Israeli army should withdraw, and guarantees on securing a permanent end to the war.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 59,587 people and wounded 143,498. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023 attacks, and more than 200 were taken captive.</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For aid to arrive into the hands of Palestinians in Gaza, it is not straightforward.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since the war began in October 2023, some aid has been able to pass into the territory through a handful of militarised crossing points.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But even if lorries carrying supplies can get in, without the cooperation of Israeli authorities they can&rsquo;t get much further.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aid groups say there is no shortage in the supply of food, but accuse Israel of obstructing it and making it virtually impossible for humanitarian assistance to reach millions of people who desperately need it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead, truckloads sit untouched in warehouses, external while not far away, aid groups say, Gazans face mass starvation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Israel denies this, and blames UN agencies and « the collection bottleneck » as the main obstacle for supplies getting into Gaza.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Earlier this year, the Israeli military blockaded the entry of aid trucks into Gaza for 11 weeks, it said, to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not longer after that, Israel and the US backed a controversial organisation called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to bypass the UN and act as the main distributor of aid in Gaza.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The GHF, unlike the UN, uses private security contractors to distribute supplies from sites in Israeli military zones. It&rsquo;s a system Israel and the US say is necessary to stop Hamas from stealing aid.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But aid organisations have also roundly condemned the scheme, which the UN says has seen more than 1,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces while trying to collect food.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And according to the World Health Organization, a large proportion of the population of Gaza is starving.</p>

<p class="has-white-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-2dda0c5d46310f6e450d3a6d172f601f wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:17px">Vingt-cinq pays, dont la Suisse, ont appelé à mettre fin « immédiatement » à la guerre dans la bande de Gaza assiégée par Israël, dans une déclaration commune publiée lundi.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Nous (…) nous rassemblons autour d&rsquo;un message simple et urgent: la guerre à Gaza doit cesser immédiatement », écrivent les ministres des Affaires étrangères de ces 25 pays, pour qui « la souffrance des civils à Gaza a atteint de nouveaux sommets ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La Défense civile de Gaza a déclaré que les forces israéliennes avaient tiré dimanche sur des Palestiniens qui tentaient de récupérer de l&rsquo;aide humanitaire dans le petit territoire, tuant 93 personnes en différents points du territoire.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Selon le porte-parole de la Défense civile Mahmoud Bassal, 80 personnes ont notamment péri dans la zone de Zikim, au nord-ouest de la ville de Gaza (nord), à la suite de « tirs de l&rsquo;occupation [Israël, ndlr] sur des personnes attendant de l&rsquo;aide ».</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>« Totalement inacceptable »</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le Programme alimentaire mondial (PAM) a déclaré qu&rsquo;un de ses convois de 25 camions transportant de l&rsquo;aide alimentaire était entré dimanche matin dans le nord de la bande de Gaza et avait « rencontré d&rsquo;immenses foules de civils affamés qui ont essuyé des tirs ». Il a jugé « totalement inacceptable » toute violence contre des civils cherchant à obtenir de l&rsquo;aide humanitaire.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sollicitée par l&rsquo;Agence France presse, l&rsquo;armée israélienne a évoqué des « tirs de sommation pour écarter une menace immédiate qui pesait sur elle » face à un regroupement de « milliers » de personnes. Elle a également démenti le bilan de la Défense civile.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>« Les enfants s&rsquo;endorment affamés »</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Nous attendions du pain parce que nous avions faim. Nous voulions manger et boire, et soudain les chars sont sortis, nous ont encerclés et ont commencé à tirer »..</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La Défense civile a en outre dit avoir constaté une augmentation du nombre de décès de nourrissons causés par « la faim et la malnutrition sévère », signalant au moins trois décès d&rsquo;enfants au cours de la semaine dernière.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« Nos enfants pleurent et crient pour avoir à manger. Ils s&rsquo;endorment affamés », confie Ziad Mousleh, un père de famille de 45 ans qui explique ne plus trouver de quoi nourrir ses enfants [lire aussi l&rsquo;encadré].</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Appel à évacuer</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dans ce contexte, l&rsquo;armée israélienne a annoncé étendre ses opérations à la région de Deir al-Balah, dans le centre du territoire palestinien, où elle a sommé la population d&rsquo;évacuer. Des familles entières ont été vues transportant quelques affaires, ou entassées sur des charrettes tirées par des ânes, se dirigeant en direction du Sud. « Ils nous ont lancé des tracts, et nous ne savons pas où nous allons », a déclaré un habitant à l&rsquo;AFP.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">En près de 22 mois de guerre, la majorité des plus de deux millions de Palestiniens de la bande de Gaza ont été déplacés au moins une fois.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:17px"><strong>Des rues animées de New York aux collines paisibles d&rsquo;Éthiopie, le café est un élément essentiel de la vie quotidienne de millions de personnes.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le café est au cœur de la culture humaine depuis plus de 15 siècles. Certains lui attribuent le mérite d&rsquo;avoir alimenté le mouvement des Lumières des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, qui a jeté les bases du monde moderne.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La caféine est le principal ingrédient stimulant du café et est aujourd&rsquo;hui le stimulant de la mémoire le plus consommé au monde, influençant notre façon de penser et de nous sentir.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="Doù-vient-le-café-">D&rsquo;où vient le café ?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le café provient des fruits du caféier Arabica, dont l&rsquo;origine se situe en Éthiopie. Plus de 90 % du café est produit dans les pays en développement, principalement en Amérique du Sud, mais aussi au Viêt Nam et en Indonésie, tandis que la majeure partie est consommée dans les pays industrialisés.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La légende raconte qu&rsquo;au IXe siècle après J.-C., un berger nommé Khalidi remarqua que ses chèvres étaient plus énergiques après avoir mangé du café, et il décida donc de l&rsquo;essayer lui-même.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Depuis lors, les gens consomment des grains de café infusés ou préparent du thé à partir des feuilles de la plante.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/ws/640/cpsprodpb/3906/live/e0b75760-f745-11ee-8369-47dc4454b972.png" alt="grains de café"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Des sources historiques affirment que les soufis du Yémen ont été les premiers à torréfier les grains de café, au XIVe siècle après J.-C., créant ainsi la boisson que nous connaissons aujourd&rsquo;hui.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Au XVe siècle, les cafés ont commencé à apparaître dans l&rsquo;Empire ottoman, puis ils se sont répandus en Europe où ils sont devenus des centres de conversation sur le commerce, la politique et les nouvelles idées en général.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Certains chercheurs, dont le célèbre philosophe et sociologue allemand Jürgen Habermas, affirment qu&rsquo;il n&rsquo;y aurait pas eu de Lumières sans café.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Selon Habermas, les cafés sont devenus des « centres de critique » aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, lorsque l&rsquo;opinion publique a commencé à se former.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le philosophe français Voltaire buvait plus de 72 tasses de café par jour et le philosophe français Denis Diderot se serait appuyé sur le café pour rédiger son encyclopédie en 28 volumes, fondement du siècle des Lumières, selon l&rsquo;écrivain américain Michael Pollan.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/ws/640/cpsprodpb/ec30/live/31d7c620-f746-11ee-8369-47dc4454b972.png" alt="Le philosophe français Voltaire aurait consommé plus de 72 tasses de café par jour."/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Légende image,Le philosophe français Voltaire aurait consommé plus de 72 tasses de café par jour.</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ted Fisher, professeur d&rsquo;anthropologie et directeur de l&rsquo;Institute for Coffee Studies à l&rsquo;université Vanderbilt, estime que le café a également joué un rôle clé dans l&rsquo;essor du capitalisme.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">M. Fisher a déclaré à la BBC : « Le café a changé le cours de l&rsquo;histoire et a encouragé le développement des idées qui ont conduit aux Lumières et au capitalisme ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">M. Fischer a ajouté : « Il me semble que ce n&rsquo;est pas une coïncidence si les idées sur la démocratie, la rationalité, l&#8217;empirisme, la science et le capitalisme sont devenues si populaires en même temps que le café ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">M. Fischer poursuit : « Cette boisson, qui stimule la compréhension et la concentration, a dû faire partie du contexte qui a conduit au capitalisme ».</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Les hommes d&rsquo;affaires ont compris que le café pouvait être utilisé pour augmenter la productivité et ont autorisé les travailleurs à faire des pauses pour boire cette boisson revigorante.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="Le-côté-obscur-du-café">Le côté obscur du café</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Un aspect plus sombre de l&rsquo;histoire du café est son rôle dans l&rsquo;exploitation des esclaves ; les Français ont exploité les esclaves amenés d&rsquo;Afrique pour la culture du café en Haïti.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Au XIXe siècle, le Brésil produisait un tiers du café mondial en utilisant des esclaves africains.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aujourd&rsquo;hui, le café est une pierre angulaire de la culture mondiale, avec une consommation quotidienne de plus de deux millions de tasses, pour une valeur de 90 milliards de dollars par an.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Près de 600 ans plus tard, la situation n&rsquo;est guère différente, selon Heifer International, une organisation non gouvernementale qui cherche à éradiquer la pauvreté et la faim dans le monde.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">L&rsquo;organisation affirme que les personnes de couleur constituent toujours l&rsquo;épine dorsale de l&rsquo;industrie du café et qu&rsquo;elles travaillent pour des salaires peu élevés.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dans une cinquantaine de pays, environ 125 millions de personnes dépendent de l&rsquo;industrie du café pour leur subsistance, et plus de la moitié d&rsquo;entre elles vivent dans la pauvreté.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="Quels-sont-les-effets-du-café-sur-lorganisme-">Quels sont les effets du café sur l&rsquo;organisme ?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Une fois ingérée, la caféine traverse le système digestif et passe dans la circulation sanguine. Cependant, dès qu&rsquo;elle atteint le système nerveux, ses effets commencent. La caféine est similaire à l&rsquo;adénosine, qui est produite naturellement par l&rsquo;organisme.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">L&rsquo;adénosine calme le système nerveux sympathique, ce qui entraîne une diminution du rythme cardiaque et, par conséquent, une sensation de détente et de somnolence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La caféine se lie aux récepteurs de l&rsquo;adénosine à la surface des cellules nerveuses, comme une clé dans une serrure. Le blocage de ces récepteurs produit l&rsquo;effet inverse.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cela peut entraîner une légère augmentation de la pression artérielle, stimuler l&rsquo;activité cérébrale, réduire la faim et favoriser un sentiment de vigilance et d&rsquo;attention, favorisant ainsi une concentration plus durable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La caféine stimule l&rsquo;humeur, réduit la fatigue, améliore les performances physiques et est parfois utilisée comme supplément par les athlètes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ces effets peuvent durer entre 15 minutes et deux heures. L&rsquo;organisme met cinq à dix heures pour éliminer la caféine après son ingestion, mais ses effets peuvent durer plus longtemps.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/ws/640/cpsprodpb/68e7/live/7f835970-f746-11ee-a9f7-4d961743aa47.png" alt="Café"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pour maximiser les bienfaits de la caféine, les experts conseillent la modération et d&rsquo;éviter d&rsquo;en consommer après-midi afin d&rsquo;en garantir l&rsquo;effet dès la première tasse de café du lendemain matin.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pour être en bonne santé, les experts recommandent aux adultes de ne pas consommer plus de 400 milligrammes de caféine par jour, soit l&rsquo;équivalent de quatre à cinq tasses de café.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Certaines personnes dépassent parfois cette limite de tasses de café par jour, ce qui peut entraîner des effets secondaires tels que l&rsquo;insomnie, l&rsquo;anxiété, l&rsquo;accélération du rythme cardiaque, des maux d&rsquo;estomac, des nausées et des maux de tête.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Les experts de la Food and Drug Administration (FDA) américaine mettent en garde contre les effets graves d&rsquo;une consommation excessive de caféine dépassant 1 200 milligrammes par jour, soit l&rsquo;équivalent de 12 tasses de café.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Selon le Dr Matthias Hein, chercheur à l&rsquo;université de Harvard, de nombreuses personnes pensent que la consommation modérée de café est bénéfique pour la santé et réduit le risque de nombreuses maladies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Matthias a déclaré à la BBC : « Deux à trois verres par jour réduisent le risque de décès, de diabète, de maladies cardiovasculaires et même de certains cancers. »</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Après tout, avant de prendre votre première nouvelle tasse de café, vous devriez peut-être réfléchir à cette longue histoire.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Malta’s top diplomat confirms UN Security Council resolution vote will happen today</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a post on X, Ian Borg said the draft resolution introduced yesterday is “in blue”, meaning it has reached its final form before being introduced for a vote.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The foreign affairs minister said the vote on the resolution, which calls for “extended humanitarian pauses” with a particular emphasis on protecting children, will happen at 3pm local time in New York (20:00 GMT) today.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Over the past week, [Malta’s UN mission] has been working tirelessly on a draft resolution on the humanitarian situation of children in Gaza,” he wrote.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UN Human Rights Office concerned over ‘fuel depletion’ in Gaza</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fuel underpins access to and provision of all humanitarian services in Gaza, said the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in the occupied Palestinian territory.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Without it, access by the people of Gaza to life-saving humanitarian assistance will all but cease,” the UN agency said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The agency is already seeing a “cascading collapse in water, sewage, and sanitation services, telecoms, food shortages, and healthcare” in the Gaza Strip, it said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The office added that in addition to allowing fuel into the besieged coastal enclave, Israel must also enable access to Gaza through the Karam Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing under its control.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le terminal de Rafah, l&rsquo;unique ouverture sur la bande de Gaza non contrôlée par Israël, ouvrira vendredi pour laisser passer l&rsquo;aide humanitaire vers le territoire palestinien pilonné par l&rsquo;armée israélienne depuis 13 jours, annonce un média proche du renseignement égyptien.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ce « n&rsquo;est pas sûr », a toutefois déclaré le patron de l&rsquo;OMS, quelques minutes avant l&rsquo;annonce.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">« <em>Nous exhortons ceux qui peuvent le faire (laisser passer l&rsquo;aide humanitaire, ndlr) à faire en sorte que cela se produise, s&rsquo;il vous plaît, pour éviter la tragédie qui nous attend</em>« , a imploré Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus au cours d&rsquo;un point de presse à Genève, juste avant que la chaîne de télévision AlQahera News n&rsquo;affirme que « <em>Rafah ouvrira demain</em>« , sans donner plus de détails sur l&rsquo;aide qui passera.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3785 morts depuis le début de la guerre avec Israël selon le ministère de la Santé du Hamas</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Au moins 3785 Palestiniens ont été tués dans la bande de Gaza depuis le début de la guerre entre&nbsp;Israël&nbsp;et le Hamas le 7 octobre, a indiqué le ministère de la Santé du mouvement islamiste palestinien.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Au moins 1524 enfants figurent parmi les morts, selon le ministère qui a également recensé 12 493 blessés.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Les Etats-Unis ont mis leur veto mercredi à une résolution du Conseil de sécurité de l&rsquo;ONU portée par le Brésil qui appelait notamment à une « pause humanitaire » dans la guerre entre le Hamas et l&rsquo;Etat hébreu. Washington a reproché au texte de ne pas mentionner le « droit d&rsquo;Israël à se défendre ».</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Le Hamas fait état de morts dans l&rsquo;enceinte d&rsquo;une église après un raid israélien</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le ministère de l&rsquo;Intérieur du gouvernement du Hamas a affirmé jeudi que de nombreux déplacés s&rsquo;abritant dans l&rsquo;enceinte d&rsquo;une église à Gaza avaient été tués et d&rsquo;autres blessés dans un raid israélien.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dans un communiqué, le ministère a affirmé que le raid a fait « un grand nombre de martyrs et de blessés » dans l&rsquo;enceinte de l&rsquo;église grecque-orthodoxe de Saint-Porphyre.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Des témoins ont affirmé que la frappe semble avoir visé une cible proche du lieu de culte dans lequel de nombreux habitants de Gaza s&rsquo;abritent au moment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Interrogée par l&rsquo;AFP, l&rsquo;armée israélienne a indiqué qu&rsquo;elle vérifiait ces informations.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">L&rsquo;aide s&rsquo;organise pour les familles des otages détenus par le Hamas</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plus de 200 otages israéliens sont détenus par le Hamas. Depuis dix jours, des centaines de bénévoles s&rsquo;activent à Tel-Aviv pour offrir leur aide aux familles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Des soins médicaux et psychologiques et des démarches administratives sont offerts aux proches des otages. L&rsquo;ancien diplomate Daniel Schek a de son côté activé ses contacts. Il a accueilli aujourd&rsquo;hui l&rsquo;ambassadeur de Suisse en Israël.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pour les familles, il est très important d&rsquo;obtenir des preuves de vie des otages. Le CICR, qui dit être en contact avec le Hamas, serait le mieux placé.</p>
