Countries: World, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lebanon, Myanmar, Nigeria, occupied Palestinian territory, Sudan, Ukraine, Yemen Source: Action on Armed Violence The United Nations has issued a dark warning about the state of civilian protection in modern conflict, declaring that the gap between international commitments and the reality faced by civilians “widened further” during 2025. In a major report released by Secretary-General António Guterres ahead of the annual Security Council debate on the protection of civilians, the UN paints a picture of warfare that is increasingly characterised by urban destruction, displacement, hunger and attacks on critical infrastructure. Although the UN recorded more than 37,000 civilian deaths across 20 armed conflicts in 2025, a slight decline after three years of increases, the report stresses that the overall level of suffering remains severe. “Approximately one recorded civilian death every 14 minutes” occurred during the year, the report notes. It also noted that the true toll is likely much higher because many casualties cannot be verified or documented. How many dead lie under the ruins of Gaza or Mariupol is unknown, for instance. Most importantly, perhaps, the report clearly identifies the use of explosive weapons in towns and cities as one of the principal drivers of civilian harm. “The use of missiles, bombs and other explosive weapons in cities and populated areas remained a leading cause of civilian harm,” the Secretary-General writes, highlighting the growing use of drones carrying explosive payloads in urban environments. In documenting this trend, the UN used data gathered by Action on Armed Violence (AOAV). The report specifically cites AOAV’s Explosive Weapons Monitor 2025 in its assessment of civilian fatalities caused by explosive weapons across conflict zones. AOAV’s monitoring has for over a decade tracked the human impact of explosive violence worldwide. Our data consistently shows that when explosive weapons are used in populated areas, around 90% of those killed and injured are civilians. The UN report points to particularly high levels of civilian casualties linked to explosive weapons in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lebanon, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan, Ukraine, Yemen and the Occupied Palestinian Territory. It also documents the widespread destruction of hospitals, schools, places of worship, water systems, electricity grids and telecommunications infrastructure. Three conflicts stand out for the scale of devastation they inflicted during 2025: Sudan, Ukraine and the Occupied Palestinian Territory. In Sudan, the UN recorded more than 11,000 civilian deaths, while attacks on power stations, water facilities and dams left large parts of the country without essential services. In Ukraine, civilian deaths rose significantly compared with previous years, with more than 2,500 civilians killed and 12,000 injured. Meanwhile, in Gaza, the report states that at least 20,000 Palestinians were killed or their remains recovered during 2025 alone. The report also highlights the growing role of emerging technologies in warfare. Drone attacks have increased dramatically in recent years, while artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to support military decision-making and target identification. According to the UN, drone attacks in conflict settings increased by at least 4,000% between 2020 and 2024. The Secretary-General warns that such technologies risk expanding the reach of violence and increasing civilian exposure to harm if safeguards are not established. Humanitarian agencies are also facing unprecedented dangers. More than 325 aid workers were reported killed in conflict settings during 2025, marking the third consecutive year of record fatalities. Journalists, too, faced escalating risks, with 60 of the 96 journalist killings recorded globally occurring in conflict zones. “Legal protections and norms are being disregarded, distorted or abandoned altogether,” the Secretary-General warns in the report. He argues that military advantage is increasingly being prioritised over the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure. Among the report’s recommendations are stronger restrictions on the use of explosive weapons in populated areas, greater accountability for violations of international humanitarian law, and wider implementation of the Political Declaration on Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas. The Secretary-General also calls on states to improve civilian harm tracking and assessment, arguing that understanding both direct and indirect impacts of warfare is essential to reducing future suffering. Dr Iain Overton, Executive Director of Action on Armed Violence (AOAV), said: “The Secretary-General’s report darkly confirms what AOAV’s data has been showing now for years: when explosive weapons are used in populated areas, civilians bear the burden. Behind every data point casts the long shadow of a shattered family or a future stalked by violence. The evidence is clear. Stop bombing cities. The challenge now is whether governments have the political will not to do so.”

UNITED NATIONS: Pakistan on Tuesday used the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to push for sustained diplomacy in the ongoing United States-Iran crisis, with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar highlighting Islamabad’s role in efforts aimed at reducing tensions between Tehran and Washington. Addressing a high-level UNSC debate chaired by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the UN headquarters in New York, the deputy prime minister warned that another conflict in the Middle East would have serious regional and global consequences. “Another prolonged conflict would serve no one,” he told the council. “It would endanger regional peace, disrupt global energy flows, deepen humanitarian suffering and strain an already fragile international order.” In remarks closely watched because of Pakistan’s diplomatic engagement in the crisis, Dar said Islamabad had consistently advocated for restraint and dialogue because of its ties with both Tehran and Washington. “As a friendly neighbour of Iran and brotherly countries of the Gulf, and a country with longstanding ties of amity with the United States, Pakistan consistently stood for restraint, de-escalation and a return to diplomacy,” he said. The foreign minister also publicly acknowledged Pakistan’s continuing mediation efforts. “We have exerted our sincere efforts in facilitating a durable solution that results in lasting peace and stability in the region, and keeps maritime routes open for all,” he said. “I thank the parties for the confidence reposed in Pakistan, and thank all our partners — including China, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkiye and Qatar — for their support,” he added. Dar referred to his March 31 visit to Beijing, where Pakistan and China jointly announced a ‘Five Point Initiative for Restoring Peace and Stability in the Gulf and Middle East Region’. “The entire world is watching — we must succeed in the interest of regional and global peace and security,” he said. The debate, held under China’s presidency of the Security Council, focused on “Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centred International System”. Chinese officials have said the session was aimed at reinforcing the relevance of the UN Charter and promoting multilateral diplomacy amid growing geopolitical instability. Dar also reiterated Pakistan’s longstanding positions on Kashmir and Palestine while sharply criticising what he described as the selective application of international law. “The crisis of the international system today is not caused by the absence of principles,” he said. “The crisis lies in their selective application.” “When sovereignty is defended in one case but disregarded in another, the Charter is weakened,” he added. “When occupation is condemned in one region but tolerated and even supported in another, justice is diminished.” On Kashmir, he said: “For nearly eight decades, the Jammu and Kashmir dispute has remained unresolved despite clear and multiple Security Council resolutions promising the Kashmiri people their right to self-determination.” He also criticised attempts to place the Indus Waters Treaty ‘in abeyance.’ “Water must never be weaponised; treaties must be honoured,” he said. On Palestine, the foreign minister said there could be “no durable peace in the Middle East while occupation, collective punishment, forced displacement and illegal expansion of settlements continue”. He reaffirmed Pakistan’s support for “an independent, viable and contiguous State of Palestine, based on pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital”. Dar also called for comprehensive reform of the UNSC, arguing that the current international order could only be strengthened through “consistency, equity and respect for law”. “Multilateralism cannot mean the management of global affairs by a few,” he said. “It must mean the participation, voice and dignity of all.” The crisis of the international system, he said, was not caused by the absence of principles but in their selective application. “When powerful states act outside the law, smaller states are left to wonder whether the Charter protects all nations equally,” he added. Dar also held a series of bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the session with foreign ministers and senior UN officials, including Secretary-General António Guterres. China’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Wang Yi, the host of Tuesday’s meeting, cautioned against glorifying the history of aggression, urging all member states to align their policies with the Charter. The Security Council’s permanent five members should increase communication and seek “maximum commonality”, he added. “We must strengthen the authority of the Security Council for greater ability to act,” he stressed, calling it “the most authoritative and legitimate body in the multilateral security system”. Secretary-General António Guterres stressed the need to settle international disputes must by peaceful means; and urged that “all states — large and small — must act in conformity with international law.” Today, however, “we are witnessing a dangerous erosion of respect for international law,” he said. Geopolitical divisions are deepening, and “too often, this council fails to act with unity and purpose”. Conflicts are proliferating and intensifying, while an accelerating arms race is taking hold, he said. Foreign minister sees busy day of engagements in New York On the sidelines of the debate, Dar was scheduled to hold a series of bilateral meetings with his counterparts as well as the UN leadership to “discuss bilateral relations, regional developments, and cooperation at the multilateral level”, according to a press release by the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the UN. It added that the engagements include meetings with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, as well as Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov; Costa Rica’s Foreign Minister Manuel Tovar and former vice president Rebeca Grynspan; Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani; Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla; Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Petr Macinka of the Czech Republic; and Colombian Foreign Minister Rosa Yolanda Villavicencio. In the evening, the foreign minister will attend a dinner hosted by Pakistan’s permanent representative to the UN with ambassadors and permanent representatives of various Arab-Islamic and European countries, the statement said. In a post on the social media platform X, the FO also said that Dar would attend the debate. “He will also hold bilateral meetings with his counterparts, as well as senior UN officials,” it said. It added that upon arrival, Dar was received by Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad and Consul General of Pakistan in New York Aamer Ahmad Atozai. The FO had earlier stated that Dar was also scheduled to attend a meeting of the Group of Friends on Global Governance during his visit. Beijing has also warned that rising geopolitical turbulence is placing unprecedented strain on multilateral institutions and the broader international system. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who was also invited by the Chinese to take part in the debate, will not be present after being denied a visa by the host nation. According to the Iranian state-run IRNA news agency, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei told a press briefing on Monday that Araghchi would not be travelling to New York to participate in the meeting “due to visa issues”.
Lecanoromycetes é a maior classe de fungos liquenizados, pertencente ao filo Ascomycota. srsbb / iNaturalist Caracterizado por um mosaico de formações vegetais, que vai de campos abertos a áreas florestadas, o Cerrado abriga uma biodiversidade moldada por milhões de anos de evolução em condições ambientais severas. Entre elas estão a longa estiagem anual e os solos naturalmente ácidos e com baixa fertilidade. 📱 Receba conteúdos do Terra da Gente também no WhatsApp Para sobreviver nesse cenário, boa parte da vegetação depende da parceria com fungos micorrízicos arbusculares, organismos do filo Glomeromycota que vivem associados às raízes das plantas. Segundo a pesquisadora e professora da Universidade Estadual de Goiás (UEG), Isa Lucia de Morais, essa relação é essencial para o funcionamento do bioma. “Esses fungos formam associações simbióticas biotróficas obrigatórias e mutualísticas com a maioria das plantas terrestres”, explica a pesquisadora. Na prática, os fungos funcionam como uma extensão das raízes, ampliando a capacidade das plantas de captar água e nutrientes no solo. A pesquisadora destaca que eles desempenham papel importante na absorção de elementos fundamentais para o desenvolvimento vegetal, como fósforo e nitrogênio. “São fundamentais para a estruturação das comunidades vegetais”, afirma.

Veja o que está em alta no g1: Agora no g1 Durante os meses de seca, quando a água se torna escassa, as micorrizas ajudam as plantas a suportar o estresse ambiental. “A capacidade das micorrizas em aumentar a tolerância das plantas a estresses abióticos, como a alta acidez do solo e a estação seca, torna essa associação simbiótica especialmente importante diante das condições adversas presentes no Cerrado”, completa a pesquisadora. Uma rede subterrânea de troca de recursos Fungos: Xanthoria parietina sud4 / iNatualist Nas últimas décadas, estudos científicos passaram a mostrar que essas associações subterrâneas podem formar extensas redes de conexão entre plantas diferentes. Pesquisas clássicas sobre fungos micorrízicos demonstraram que espécies vegetais distintas podem compartilhar o mesmo fungo e permanecer conectadas por um micélio comum — uma espécie de malha formada pelos filamentos subterrâneos dos fungos. Experimentos realizados com isótopos rastreáveis já comprovaram a transferência bidirecional de carbono entre espécies diferentes de árvores. Os pesquisadores observaram que o fluxo de recursos segue relações de “fonte e dreno”. Na prática, isso significa que plantas em melhores condições fisiológicas podem transferir parte desses compostos para indivíduos com maior demanda energética. Embora os estudos mais conhecidos sobre essa dinâmica tenham sido realizados em florestas temperadas, cientistas apontam que mecanismos semelhantes ajudam a explicar o funcionamento ecológico de outros ecossistemas, incluindo o Cerrado. A própria literatura científica destaca que as comunidades vegetais não dependem apenas da competição por recursos, mas também das relações mutualísticas entre plantas e fungos e do compartilhamento subterrâneo de nutrientes mediado por microrganismos. Debaixo da terra, longe dos olhos, essa rede invisível ajuda a sustentar a biodiversidade, a estabilidade e a produtividade de um dos biomas mais ameaçados do Brasil.

LAHORE: Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has ordered imposition of a Rs50,000 fine for throwing animal waste and offal in streets, on roads, into drains and canals during Eid days. The CM directed the administrative and police officers across Punjab on Friday to remain in the field during Eidul Azha days, as the provincial government finalised extensive arrangements for security, cleanliness and public facilitation during the holidays. Chairing a video-link meeting on Eidul Azha arrangements here, the chief minister issued guidelines to all deputy commissioners and district police officers, warning that negligence or poor implementation of orders would not be tolerated. She also directed strict enforcement of the restriction on sale of sacrificial animals at non-designated places instead of cattle markets and action against illegal livestock trading in unauthorised areas. The meeting was informed that digital monitoring and vigilance operations would be carried out at cattle markets, while strict security arrangements would be ensured to prevent incidents of cattle theft and robbery. She directed the authorities to ensure enforcement of the bans on hide collection by the banned organisations and loudspeakers use at hide-collection camps. Special security measures and continuous combing operations have been ordered in sensitive areas, while instructions also issued to strictly enforce the ban on display of weapons and aerial firing. The chief minister further directed the authorities to spray Eidgahs and mosques with rose water and ensure cleanliness in railway colonies, cantonment areas and private housing societies. She also ordered uninterrupted water supply during Eid holidays, display of fare lists at bus stands and inside buses, and covering of dumping sites near airports. The meeting decided to ban temporary swings across the province, while authorities were instructed to conduct safety and security checks of amusement rides installed in parks. Directions were also issued for cyber patrolling to curb hate material on social media. All DCs and DPOs participating in the meeting were instructed to ensure strict implementation of Eid SOPs, with warning of action in case of non-compliance. BIODIVERSITY DAY: Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz said on Friday the protection of forests and wildlife was essential for maintaining ecological balance and ensuring the survival of life on the Earth. In her message on International Day for Biological Diversity, the chief minister says biodiversity forms the basis of life on the planet and preserving the natural environment is a shared national responsibility. She says effective and sustainable measures are being taken in the province for the protection of endangered species and conservation of the ecosystem. Ms Nawaz says a special force and helpline have been made operational to prevent illegal hunting. She adds that for the first time in Punjab, women have also been inducted into the regular wildlife force. The chief minister says the wildlife helpline 1107 has been activated for complaints and assistance, adding that modern systems and GPS trackers have also been introduced for wildlife monitoring and census operations. She stresses that creating public awareness about the importance of natural resources and preventing environmental degradation is imperative. Published in Dawn, May 23rd, 2026
