Qatar Charity Expands Relief Operations in Gaza

DOHA – Qatar Charity (QC) has intensified its humanitarian aid in Gaza, delivering 1,000 hot meals daily to displaced families returning to northern areas. An additional 315 meals are provided every day to patients with special needs at Hamad Hospital for Rehabilitation and Prosthetics.

So far, QC has distributed 4,700 food parcels to families facing severe shortages, with a goal of reaching 24,700 parcels in total. The organization also plans to supply 2.4 million litres of clean drinking water and support education by distributing 4,500 school bags and rehabilitating 60 classrooms damaged by the conflict.

These efforts are part of Qatar’s ongoing humanitarian response to the Gaza crisis, aimed at restoring essential services and easing food insecurity for thousands of civilians.

Global Antibiotic Use – From Iran’s High Rates to Qatar’s Careful Control

 

Countries by Antibiotic Use

Daily dose of antibiotics (DDD), used per 1,000 inhabitants:

🇮🇷 Iran: 68
🇿🇦 South Africa: 51
🇪🇬 Egypt: 50
🇧🇩 Bangladesh: 49
🇹🇿 Tanzania: 35
🇯🇴 Jordan: 34
🇨🇾 Cyprus: 34
🇲🇪 Montenegro: 33
🇳🇵 Nepal: 32
🇱🇦 Laos: 30
🇷🇴 Romania: 29
🇹🇳 Tunisia: 28
🇫🇷…

— World of Statistics (@stats_feed) October 13, 2025

 The difference in antibiotic use (measured in Defined Daily Doses per 1,000 inhabitants per day) reveals much more than just “how much medicine people take.” It reflects deep differences in healthcare systems, regulations, public health awareness, and socioeconomic factors.

Why Iran, Egypt, and South Africa are among the highest users ?

Why Oman, Qatar, and Mali use antibiotics the least ?

Antibiotic use reveals much about a nation’s health system. In Iran, Egypt, and South Africa, overuse stems from easy access, infection burdens, and weak regulation, fueling resistance risks. In contrast, Oman and Qatar tightly control prescriptions and maintain cleaner health environments, while Mali’s low rates reflect limited access, not restraint. Behind each statistic lies a story of inequality, awareness, and how societies value responsible medicine.

💊 Interesting Facts About Antibiotic Use

1. 🌍 In some countries, you can buy antibiotics without a prescription, leading to frequent misuse and resistance.

2. 🏥 In others, their use is strictly regulated, and only doctors can prescribe them.

3. 🚑 In many places, people lack access to healthcare, so they rarely get antibiotics even when needed.

4. ⚖️ As a result, low antibiotic use can appear both in wealthy and in poor nations — but for very different reasons.

5. 💬 Cultural beliefs matter: in some regions, antibiotics are seen as a quick “cure-all,” even for viral infections.

6. ✈️ Global travel and trade spread antibiotic-resistant bacteria, turning local misuse into a worldwide threat.

Weather-Induced Fatigue in Doha: How to Regain Your Energy During Unstable Weather

One day it’s hot and humid, the next it’s windy and dusty — welcome to Doha’s mood swings! 😅 If you’ve been feeling drained lately, you’re not imagining it. Unstable weather really can zap your energy. The humidity messes with your body’s cooling system, the dust lowers oxygen quality, and before you know it, you’re walking around like a half-charged phone. 🔋

But don’t worry — with a few small tweaks, you can totally outsmart the weather and feel like yourself again. Here’s your mini survival guide 👇

💧 Hydrate — But Smarter

Plain water is great, but Doha weather calls for next-level hydration. Add a pinch of sea salt or a splash of lemon juice to your water — this combo helps your body absorb fluids better and replaces lost minerals. Think of it as your DIY electrolyte drink, minus the sugar. Bonus: it also helps with headaches and that “foggy” feeling! 🧂🍋

🍊 Vitamin Boost = Energy Boost

If your energy feels stuck in slow motion, your body might be low on key vitamins. Try adding vitamin D (since dusty skies block sunlight) and B vitamins for natural focus and motivation. A handful of nuts, some yogurt with fruit, or even a green smoothie can give your system the reboot it needs. 🥤✨

🧘‍♀️ Move — Just a Little

You don’t have to run a marathon. Gentle stretching, yoga, or a quick dance in your living room can improve circulation and boost endorphins. Movement signals your body to “wake up” — even five minutes can make a difference! 🎶

🪴 Refresh Your Space

If you’re staying indoors more, make your space a mini wellness zone. Keep it cool, ventilated, and clean — and maybe add a few easy plants like aloe vera or peace lily. They freshen up the air and instantly make your mood lighter. 🌿💚

😌 Give Yourself Grace

Weather-related tiredness isn’t laziness — it’s your body adjusting to environmental stress. Rest when you need to. Drink when you’re thirsty. Eat clean, move gently, and stay kind to yourself.

Because even under Doha’s most unpredictable skies, you deserve to feel balanced, bright, and beautifully alive. 🌤️💫

Sharm El-Sheikh Accident Involving Qatari Diplomats -3 dead -2 injured

On October 12, 2025, a tragic car accident in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt claimed the lives of three Qatari diplomats and left two others injured. According to the Qatari Embassy in Cairo, the officials were traveling as part of a delegation attending meetings related to the Gaza peace talks, which were being held in the Red Sea resort city. 

The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the deaths and expressed condolences to the victims’ families. Egyptian authorities are cooperating with Qatar in investigating the crash and facilitating the return of the bodies. The two injured diplomats are being treated in a local hospital. Sources close to the talks noted that the Qatari team had been involved in regional mediation efforts aimed at achieving a ceasefire and easing the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

The incident drew condolences from regional governments and international organizations, underlining Qatar’s ongoing diplomatic role in Middle Eastern peace negotiations. While no foul play is suspected, the event has cast a shadow over the ongoing discussions in Sharm el-Sheikh.

László Krasznahorkai: Hungary’s New Nobel Prize Winner in Literature 📚🏆

 

“To read books gives us more power to survive these very difficult times on Earth.”

When we spoke to 2025 literature laureate László Krasznahorkai, he encouraged us all to read more.

Krasznahorkai also spoke about his happiness and excitement about being the newest Nobel Prize… pic.twitter.com/n5SWZKjR3w

— The Nobel Prize (@NobelPrize) October 9, 2025

László Krasznahorkai, born in 1954 in Gyula, Hungary, is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary literature. Known for his long, flowing sentences and explorations of existential and apocalyptic themes, his novels, including Sátántangó and The Melancholy of Resistance, immerse readers in Kafka-esque worlds of human struggle and societal decay 🖋️🌌.

As a literary figure, he continues Hungary’s proud tradition of producing globally influential writers 🇭🇺, blending Central European history, philosophy, and personal observation into novels that are both challenging and mesmerizing ✨. Krasznahorkai’s life and work show how isolation, discipline, and vision can create stories that linger in the mind long after the last page 📖💭.

 Krasznahorkai has revealed in  this  interview that he actually lives in three places: near Budapest, in Trieste (Italy), and in Vienna (Austria). This triad of homes reflects his central European ties and literary cosmopolitanism, showing that while he treasures solitude for writing, he also remains connected to vibrant cultural centers.

Krasznahorkai  said that his primary inspiration comes from a sense of bitterness — a deep awareness of the world’s fragility and the human condition .

Unified GCC Tourist Visa: A New Era of Travel in the Gulf

 Traveling across the Gulf region is about to become easier than ever. The Unified GCC Tourist Visa, expected to launch soon, will allow visitors to explore six countries—Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain—with just one visa.

This initiative mirrors the European Schengen model, aiming to boost regional tourism and strengthen economic ties among the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. For travelers, it means no more juggling multiple applications, fees, or border entry restrictions—just one visa to experience the rich diversity of the Arabian Peninsula.

From the futuristic skyline of Dubai to the serene beaches of Oman, the cultural charm of Bahrain, the natural beauty of Saudi Arabia’s AlUla, and the vibrant energy of Doha, visitors will be able to move freely and discover more of what the Gulf has to offer.

The visa also aligns with the GCC’s long-term vision to position the region as a global tourism hub, encouraging longer stays and multi-destination travel. With streamlined procedures and digital systems in place, the GCC aims to create a seamless and welcoming travel experience for millions of visitors every year.

As details about eligibility, duration, and rollout dates continue to emerge, one thing is clear: the Unified GCC Tourist Visa will reshape travel in the Middle East, making the dream of exploring the entire Gulf region on a single trip finally possible.

From Qatar to California: Protecting Workers from Extreme Heat

It’s 45°C today, and luckily it’s Friday — a break for outdoor workers. Since September 15, Qatar lifted the midday work ban, making it legal to work in extreme heat. Temperatures may drop below 40°C soon, but it’s still very challenging.

Many wonder why Qatar, seen as modern and progressive, does not do more for laborers. Cooling overalls exist but are not widely used.

Around the world, heat protections vary: the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Oman have summer midday work bans; Greece and Spain restrict outdoor work during heatwaves; in the U.S., only states like California and Arizona have strong protections. In California, outdoor work is restricted when temperatures exceed 30°C, and employers must provide shaded rest areas, water, and heat training for workers. These laws are among the strictest in the U.S. and serve as a model for protecting laborers from extreme heat. Many countries, including India and much of Latin America, offer little or no protection.

Qatar draws international attention because of its high-profile events and large labor force, but extreme heat affects workers globally. Solutions like cooling gear and shaded breaks should be adopted worldwide!

Exhibition of Stenin International Press Photo Contest - Katara

 

Qatar is  about  to  host the exhibition of the Andrei Stenin International Press Photo Contest, which showcases the work of young photojournalists from around the world. The opening ceremony will take place on September 24 at 6:30 p.m. in Katara, Building 47, Gallery 1. Named after a Russian journalist, the contest gives a platform to photographers under 33 and often features powerful images of war, peace, culture, daily life, and social challenges. Before coming to Qatar, the exhibition has already toured in countries such as Serbia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mauritius, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, China, and Argentina. For Qatar, hosting this event is both a cultural opportunity and a reflection of its growing role as a hub for international art and dialogue .

Talabat Suspended in Qatar: Riders Struggle, Consumers Look for Options

______________________ 

 The Ministry of Commerce and Industry announces the closure of a company called  Talabat due to non-compliance with the provisions of Articles (7) and () of Law No. (8) of 2008 regarding consumer protection.

Talabat, a big food delivery company in Qatar, was stopped for one week by the government. This happened because of problems with customers being misled.

Many delivery riders are now without work and cannot earn money. This is hard for them because they depend on daily wages. Some riders have faced problems like late payments before.

For customers, Talabat is not working now. Other delivery apps like Snoonu are still running, but some orders may be slow.

This shows how important it is to protect both workers and customers. People should know their rights and check other options when one service stops.
