Volcanic Eruption Disrupts Flights in Indonesia
Israa Farhan At least 24 flights were canceled on Monday at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport following the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in eastern Indonesia, according to airport director general Ahmad Syaifuddin Shihab. Several international and domestic routes were affected by the ash cloud, prompting airlines to halt services for safety reasons. Jetstar Airways and Virgin Australia canceled multiple flights to and from Australia, while AirAsia Indonesia suspended two domestic connections. Qantas Airways and South Korean carrier Air Busan reported additional delays. Airport authorities are continuing to monitor the situation closely to assess further risks to air traffic. Flight disruptions linked to volcanic activity are a common occurrence in Indonesia, which sits along the Pacific Ring of Fire, one of the most seismically active regions in the world. Bali, a major tourism hub, is often impacted by such geological events, which can ground flights for hours or even days depending on ash movement and weather conditions. The Indonesian Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation has advised local authorities and travelers to remain alert as volcanic activity may continue in the coming days. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Ahfad Al-Zaytoun Learning Centre Helps Gaza's Children Navigate Trauma
Ahfad Al-Zaytoun proves that even if the damage feels irreparable, there is work to be done in the attempt to heal. Jul 07, 2025 Since the ongoing genocide in Gaza began in October 2023, we've been observing documentation of horrific crimes against humanity being committed against innocent civilians, including children. The events are more jarring than anything we've seen in even the most aversive, dystopian films - and with it comes a general feeling of helplessness as we struggle to approach a pain so monumental. Israa Aly, the founder of Ahfad Al-Zaytoun, was crippled by this same helplessness, until she realised that there was something she could do. As refugees from Gaza fled to Egypt with their children, she wondered how children who endured so much for the past months could assimilate back into classrooms, where teachers may fail to approach their trauma appropriately. She posted an Instagram story in March 2024 asking for volunteers that would would help create a safe environment for Palestinian children, and in doing so created Ahfad Al-Zaytoun is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation built to offer a trauma-informed community and learning centre for Palestinian children in Cairo. Led by experienced, empathetic teachers and psychologists specialising in the psychology of children with disabilities, the initiative hopes to offer the children the support they need for providing support to tens of children, Ahfad Al-Zaytoun achieves an incontestably paramount feat. It proves that even if the task feels huge, even if the damage feels irreparable, there is work to be done to heal.
