पीड़ा / Pain  – Kaushal Kishore

 

किसी को खो देना 

उतना पीड़ादायक नहीं होता, 

जितना खुद को खो देना,

किसी को पाने की 

लगातार ललक में…

🦋🦋🦋🦋

The pain of losing someone 

cannot be compared,

to the intensity of losing oneself,

in the relentless pursuit 

of finding someone…

Hiltzik: The coming toll in vaccine-preventable diseases – Los Angeles Times

Forecasting the future is difficult. But here’s an easy prediction: The anti-vaccination movement in the U.S. and globally is going to result in the deaths of more children.

This grim portent comes to us courtesy of UNICEF, which is reporting that 30,601 confirmed cases of measles have been reported in Europe and Central Asia this year through Dec.5.

That’s up from 909 cases in those regions in 2022, or an increase of 3,266%.

There is no clearer sign of a breakdown in immunization coverage than an increase in cases of measles.

The situation has become “beyond desperate” for people sheltering inside a church in Gaza where an Israeli military sniper allegedly shot and killed two women, British lawmaker Layla Moran, whose family is among hundreds trapped there, has told CNN.

Moran, a UK member of parliament for Oxford West and Abingdon, said 300 people, including children, were inside the Holy Family Parish church in Gaza City as Israel’s bombardment of the enclave continues into its tenth week.
