10/30/2006 YK:n avustusjärjestöt lopettavat hätäavun toimittamisen Libanoniin ja keskittyvät nyt YK:n kehitysohjelman UNDP:n johdolla maan jälleenrakentamiseen. Sota aiheutti hallituksen arvion mukaan 3,6 miljardin dollarin vahingot, mutta jälleenrakennus nähdään myös mahdollisuutena vahvistaa maan demokratiaa, vakautta ja kehitystä.

10/28/2006 RAWALPINDI, Pakistan, Oct 27 (IPS) - Sitting on a red plastic stool behind the iron bars that form a caged courtyard outside Cell 74, Mirza Tahir Hussain, though only 36, looks like an old man. His white untrimmed beard, the long salt-and-pepper hair and a slight shuffle in his gait expose a life of constant worry.

Operatori di MSF in Sri Lanka - da Msf
10/27/2006 Medici Senza Frontiere (Msf) ha deciso di sospendere tutte le attività mediche in Sri Lanka e di ritirarsi anche dalla penisola di Jaffna, il solo ospedale dove poteva lavorare. La decisione avviene dopo che l'organizzazione umanitaria aveva ricevuto una lettera da parte del governo che annullava i permessi di permanenza nel Paese e domandava di lasciare il paese, seguita da una seconda lettera ufficiale che permetteva di restare “fino a nuovo ordine” e informava che era in corso un'inchiesta sulle attività dell'organizzazione, mentre sulla stampa locale comparivano accuse di collaborazionismo coi ribelli Tamil attraverso attività clandestine "attentando alla sicurezza nazionale". "Ma non abbiamo accettato di essere espulsi e diffamati e insistiamo a perseguire la via diplomatica" - commenta Gianfranco De Maio, Direttore esecutivo in Italia. MSF ribadisce di essere "una organizzazione indipendente di soccorso medico neutrale che presta soccorso medico a tutte le vittime, a qualsiasi schieramento facciano riferimento".
