Myanmar was struck by a magnitude 7.7 earthquake in March. As a result of the crisis, countless people lost shelter, food, and water, according to Al Jazeera.
In March 2025, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake devasted Myanmar and left behind numerous communities. The only international broadcaster with a team stationed in the area witnessed the crisis’s development. A survival story emerged from the experience of overwhelming odds.
Our cameras captured the desperate search for survivors and the magnitude of destruction from the capital, Naypyidaw, to Mandalay’s spiritual heart. Near the epicenter, entire neighborhoods were in ruins as countless people found themselves without food, clean water, or shelter. Emergency services had trouble figuring out what was needed.
Palestinians in Gaza continue to starve on World Hunger Day, one day after a chaotic rush to an Israeli- and US-backed distribution point delivering the first aid since Israel’s March blockade. Even this tidbit of relief is opposed by some Israelis. What they have been saying is as follows.
In the first T20 international of the three-match series at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan defeated Bangladesh by a 37-run victory.
Hasan Ali, who made his first appearance in a year, won the final over to bat 164 against the visitors.
The hosts’ 201-7 victory over the toss, which Salman Agha, the hosts’ captain, led with 56 points, was unfortunate for the innings.
Hasan, a right-arm seamer who recently impressed in his country’s domestic two competition, the Pakistan Super League, stole the hearts at least on his return to the international scene after suffering from injury issues.
His skipper commented afterwards, “I saw him work hard and put in extra hours, and it has paid off.”
Salman continued, “What mattered is that everyone contributed, and that’s how we want to play – everyone has to bat, bowl, and field well.”

Both Pakistan and Bangladesh are recovering from their group stage exits from the ICC Champions Trophy in February.
The hosts, who also lost seven of their eight games in the most recent white-ball series against New Zealand, were eliminated from the game by 5-2 after eight balls of their innings, couldn’t have had a worse start.
As the pair shared a stand of 51 for the third wicket, Mohammad Haris and his captain Salman began the recovery.
With a stand of 65, Hasan Nawaz hit 44 of his 22 balls, which was the highest strike rate of the innings.
With eighteen fours and one six, Salman finished the match with 56 runs off 24 as the only batter to hit 50.
The fourth-wicket pair were 11 deliveries apart when Shadab Khan smashed 48 off 25 to put pressure back on Bangladesh.
The only Bangladeshi player to have taken more than one scalp, Shoriful Islam, took his second wicket on the final ball of the innings.
The tourists’ top-heavy reply, which included Litton Das and Tawhid Hridoy, who had shared the match’s 63-piece partnership for the third wicket, gave hope to a series-opening victory.
The chase’s end came just before Litton left, with the score being 100-2 before Litton left.

Shadab Khan won Player of the Match after claiming 2-26 and his fiery 2-26 hitting tally.
Despite having recently lost his place in the side, the Pakistan vice captain said, “My comeback to Pakistan colors wasn’t great, but my recent performances in PSL helped me get some confidence.”
The series’ two games will take place on Friday before the series finale on Sunday in Lahore, with the final game taking place in Lahore.
In his comments following the game, Bangladesh captain Litton said, “We didn’t bowl, bat, and field well,” saying that his team needed more consistency in “all areas of the game.”
After nearly three months of an Israeli blockade, thousands of desperate Palestinians stormed a UN World Food Programme warehouse in central Gaza on Wednesday. Initial reports from the WFP indicated that two people had died and several others had been hurt during the incident.

Given that several rounds of negotiations have been held in Oman and Italy, US President Donald Trump has stated that he instructed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to abstain from any strike on Iran to give his administration more time to push for a new nuclear deal with Tehran.
Trump claimed to have told Netanyahu that a strike “would be inappropriate at this time because we’re very close to a solution.” He told reporters on Wednesday at the White House.
The Israeli leader has threatened to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities. If any such attack were to be launched, Iran has declared it would take all possible measures.
Iranian enrichment may be stopped if the US releases uranium from Iran in exchange for a “political deal” that could lead to a wider nuclear agreement, according to two Iranian official sources.
A “political understanding with the United States might be reached soon,” according to the sources who were close to the negotiating team on Wednesday. Tehran would stop enriching uranium for a year under this arrangement, according to the sources’ sources.
The most recent developments occurred as the UN’s atomic watchdog group stated that “the verdict is still out” regarding Iran’s and US’s ongoing nuclear negotiations. However, Rafael Mariano Grossi praised the progress made in the negotiations.
That, in my opinion, indicates a willingness to reach an agreement. And I believe it is a possibility.
Iran’s nuclear program was subjected to sanctions in exchange for sanctions relief under the 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
After Trump withdrew the US from the deal in 2018, leading to a sharp rise in tensions and a breakdown in diplomatic relations.
The main issue is resolved.
Iranian uranium enrichment, which is seen by US officials as a potential route to the development of nuclear weapons, must be a clear commitment from Iran, according to US officials.
Iran has, however, consistently denied ever requesting nuclear weapons, insisting that its program is purely for civilian purposes. It has criticized Washington’s demand to end its ability to enrich, citing it as a violation of national sovereignty.
After Tehran and Washington met for a fifth round of Oman-mediated talks in Rome, it continues to be a significant sticking point.
Iran has reportedly suggested that the US should approve the release of Iranian oil revenues that have been frozen as a result of US sanctions and grant Tehran’s request to publicly acknowledge its right to enrich uranium under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
