Posted on by SAT News Desk

Kabul — Tragedy struck the outskirts of Pul-e-Khumri, as flash floods, triggered by unusually heavy seasonal rains, wreaked havoc, claiming over 300 lives and rendering thousands homeless. Nazer Mohammad, a local shopkeeper, returned home only to find his entire world swept away by the relentless deluge. His wife and two sons, tragically, were among the casualties, with his two daughters still missing.

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and other aid organizations rushed to provide relief, but the scale of destruction is immense. With more than 50 children confirmed dead and over 600,000 people affected in the Baghlan province alone, the situation is dire. Save the Children mobilized resources, deploying medical and child protection teams to assist the devastated communities.

Arshad Malik, country director for Save the Children, emphasized Afghanistan’s vulnerability to climate change, urging international assistance in the face of recurring disasters. This catastrophe underscores the urgent need for sustainable solutions to mitigate the impact of extreme weather events on vulnerable populations.

British Climber and Nepali Guide Break Mount Everest Records Again

Posted on by SAT News Desk

Kathmandu— In an astonishing display of endurance and skill, British climber Kenton Cool, 50, and Nepali guide Kami Rita Sherpa, 54, have shattered their own records for the most climbs of Mount Everest, the world’s tallest peak. According to Rakesh Gurung, director of Nepal’s Department of Tourism, Cool achieved his 18th ascent, while Kami Rita reached an unprecedented 29th summit.
Operating on separate expeditions, they were leading clients up the formidable mountain. “He just keeps going and going… amazing guy!” remarked Garrett Madison of Madison Mountaineering, who had previously joined forces with Kami Rita in 2014 to conquer Everest, Lhotse, and K2.

K2, situated in Pakistan, is the planet’s second-highest peak, while Lhotse in Nepal ranks as the fourth-tallest. Lukas Furtenbach of Furtenbach Adventures hailed Cool’s achievement as remarkable, emphasizing his integral role in the Everest guiding industry.

Both climbers opted for the Southeast Ridge route, a path made famous by the pioneering efforts of Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay in 1953, which remains the preferred route to the Everest summit.

Kami Rita’s climbing journey began in 1994, and since then, he has conquered Everest nearly every year, except during closures imposed by authorities. Last year alone, he summited the peak twice, solidifying his reputation as one of the foremost mountaineers of our time.

The significance of mountain climbing extends beyond personal achievement, serving as a vital tourism activity and economic engine for Nepal, renowned for hosting eight of the world’s 14 highest peaks, including Everest. With Nepal issuing 414 climbing permits, each priced at $11,000, for the current climbing season, it underscores the enduring allure of conquering the world’s tallest mountain.

    minutely navigated the mind of a woman, her pain and sufferings. It successfully raised the
    issue of women trafficking in Nepal. The novel which also showed the socio-economic

    London — British Nepali youth Jordan Chhetri has achieved an extraordinary feat by reaching the summit of Mount Everest. Despite battling Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at the tender age of 14, Chhetri defied the odds and emerged victorious atop the world’s highest peak.

    Chhetri’s journey to Everest’s summit on Sunday morning at 9:30 Nepali time was not merely a physical conquest but a testament to resilience and determination.

    Chhetri’s journey serves as an inspiration to many, demonstrating the power of perseverance and the indomitable human spirit. As he stands atop the world, he not only conquers Everest but also conquers the limitations imposed by illness, proving that with courage and resilience, anything is possible.

    Sweltering Heatwave Grips South and Southeast Asia, Disrupting Daily Life

    Posted on by SAT News Desk

    London — Millions of people across South and Southeast Asia are grappling with scorching temperatures as an intense heatwave sweeps through the region, prompting school closures and raising concerns about public health.

    In the Philippines, thousands of schools, including those in the capital region of Metro Manila, have suspended in-person classes due to the oppressive heat. With half of the country’s provinces experiencing drought and nearly 31 others facing dry spells, the United Nations has called for greater support to help the nation prepare for future weather extremes.

    The situation has been exacerbated by the ongoing El Niño event, which has brought hotter and drier conditions to the area. In Thailand, authorities have reported 30 heatstroke-related deaths this year and urged people to avoid outdoor activities as temperatures soar.

    In Bangkok, temperatures reached a sweltering 40.1°C, with authorities warning of a possible “heat index” surpassing 52°C, factoring in humidity levels that make it difficult for the body to regulate temperature.

    The heatwave has disrupted daily life across the region, affecting education and agriculture. Bangladesh closed all schools after temperatures soared to between 40°C and 42°C in some areas, affecting approximately 33 million children, according to Save the Children.

    In India, where a massive election is underway, officials are grappling with the impact of the heat on voters. The World Meteorological Organization warns that Asia remains the world’s most disaster-hit region from weather-related hazards, with human-caused climate breakdown exacerbating extreme weather events.

    As the region faces the brunt of these devastating heatwaves, urgent action is needed to address climate change and mitigate the impact on vulnerable communities.

    India’s General Election: A Consequential Test of Democracy

    Posted on by SAT News Desk

    New Delhi — As India, the world’s largest democracy, gears up for its general election, the stakes couldn’t be higher. With a population exceeding 1.4 billion and nearly 970 million eligible voters, the electoral battleground is set for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a broad alliance of opposition parties.

    The upcoming phase on May 7 will see voters in 93 constituencies across 11 states and territories cast their ballots, marking the third phase of a seven-phase electoral marathon. This phase features notable figures like India’s interior minister, a perfume magnate, and the scion of a former princely state.

    Modi, known for his Hindu nationalist agenda, first ascended to power in 2014, promising economic development and an anti-corruption crusade. However, his tenure has been marred by rising unemployment, attacks on minorities, and curtailment of dissent and press freedom.

    Opposing Modi is a unified opposition under the banner of INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance), led by Rahul Gandhi of the Indian National Congress. Despite internal challenges, the opposition aims to deny Modi a third consecutive victory.

    The election process, spanning six weeks and culminating in results on June 4, involves over 10% of the world’s population electing 543 members for the lower house of Parliament. The use of electronic voting machines streamlines the process across more than a million polling stations.

    Key issues at stake include the erosion of democratic norms, attacks on religious minorities, economic disparity, and the consolidation of executive power. India’s status as a global power and its trajectory vis-a-vis China also hang in the balance.

    As the world watches, India’s election serves not only as a gauge of its democratic resilience but also as a harbinger of global political dynamics in the years to come.
