Fraudster who carried out illegal circumcisions jailed
Mohammed Alazawi has been jailed for nine years for impersonating a doctor and performing unsafe and illegal circumcisions on infants and older boys. Alazawi was convicted of 40 offences, including multiple counts of fraud, wounding with intent, and assault, after admitting 20 charges and being found guilty of a further 20. Between October 2016 and January 2022, he carried out non-therapeutic male circumcisions using inherently unsafe and unsanitary methods, despite the procedure being unregulated in the UK. He posed as a doctor, presenting bogus documents from a Jordanian hospital, and notably performed a circumcision on a two-week-old baby on a coffee table. The seven-year investigation by West Midlands Police, prompted by victims suffering complications like infections, involved families from across the UK and as far as Canada.

Jordanian ambassador visits Nablus field hospital providing medical services for Palestinians
LONDON: Jordanian Ambassador to Palestine Issam Al-Bdour visited the Jordanian field hospital in Nablus, in the north of the occupied West Bank, on Wednesday to observe the medical services being provided. The hospital's commanding officer briefed Al-Bdour and Nablus Mayor Ghassan Daghlas on the facility's services provided to residents of Nablus and its environs, the Petra news agency reported. The ambassador toured the hospital's various departments and expressed appreciation for the efforts of the Jordanian medical teams and the Jordanian Armed Forces' role in supporting Palestinians. The facility began operations in September 2023 to enhance medical cooperation between Jordan and Palestine. It includes clinics for pediatrics, gynecology, internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, dermatology, and dentistry, as well as operating rooms and intensive care units. Daghlas described the initiative as a 'generous gesture' reflecting the ongoing historical relations between Jordan and Palestine.
