Vulnerable Populations

Severe food crises threaten people in vulnerable areas, including the Palestinian territories, Sudan, South Sudan, Haiti, and Mali, where populations face or near famine, says a report by the United Nations' food agencies released on Thursday.

The US government is concerned about China's use of artificial intelligence to repress its population, spread misinformation and undermine the security of the United States and its allies, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said.

Cyclone Dana will make landfall near Odisha's Bhitarkanika and Dhamra tonight, with a likely wind speed of 100-120 km per hour. Both Odisha and West Bengal are on high alert, with vulnerable population evacuated, flight and rail services suspended.

New research shows that the human body's ability to tolerate heat and humidity is lower than previously thought, with a critical wet-bulb temperature threshold closer to 31 degrees Celsius.

This article delves into the specific health challenges they encounter and underscores the urgency of implementing targeted climate adaptation strategies.

The Greater Spotted Eagle, a large raptor classified as vulnerable due to population decline, has been tracked by researchers using GPS tags since 2017.

Despite being vaccinated, his compromised immune system couldn't fully fend off the virus, leading to severe complications.

Chinese experts have sounded an alert about the relapse of COVID-19 infections during the current winter season and asked elderly and vulnerable populations to get vaccinated.

Delhi will alter school timings, suspend non-essential water use and survey vulnerable locations daily to mitigate the impact of extreme heat on susceptible populations in peak summers, according to the city's new heat action plan.

"There is massive pollution, in particular in northern Indian cities like Delhi that are very polluted. India is facing climate change and is more vulnerable to climate change than the United States," Mr Solheim said.

Cold-blooded insects are especially vulnerable to temperature changes because they lack the ability to control their body temperature.

Heat-related deaths increased by 68 per cent between 2000-2004 and 2017-2021, while vulnerable populations -- the elderly and children less than a year old -- were exposed to 3.7 billion more heatwave days in 2021 than annually in 1986-2005.

Between March and May, Delhi experienced five heat waves with record-breaking temperatures reaching up to 49.2 degrees Celsius which increased the vulnerability of half of the city's population.

The Centre on Thursday advised states slated to hold Assembly polls in the next few months to ramp up Covid vaccination exponentially to protect the vulnerable population given the steady rise in cases of the Omicron variant of coronavirus in India.

The World Health Organisation called for greater efforts in the South-East Asian region to expand COVID-19 vaccination coverage among the older population, saying they remain vulnerable to the virus and at highest risk of severe diseases.
