The UN in Geneva is celebrating World Horse Day on July 11. This day was created by the UN in June 2025. They want to remind us how horses have helped people for a long time – in farming, transport, work, and even therapy. Today, horses and other working donkeys and mules still support the lives of about 600 million people around the world. But they face problems like hot weather caused by climate change. The UN asks us to protect these animals. The post includes a picture of a horse with the words "Honoring a Timeless Partner" and the UN logo. The campaign is also linked to the FAO and other UN groups that promote good farming, fair pay for rural people, and better care for working animals. 🐴🌾
Few animals have contributed to human progress as profoundly — and quietly — as the horse.#WorldHorseDay is a call to protect one of humanity’s oldest partnerships, which still helps feed us, support our economies, and lift our spirits.https://t.co/UHkrmlLZxT pic.twitter.com/A5Vw4jNmyY

The government of Qatar has told all small boat owners to stop using their boats right now. This includes fishing boats, jet skis, and any boats used for fun or personal trips.
This rule started on July 12, 2026. It is for safety reasons. No one knows when it will end.
Big ships that follow international safety rules can still sail.
The government is working with security teams on this decision.
A similar stop happened at the end of June 2026.
Right now, there are some tensions in the area between the US and Iran, which affects safety in the Gulf.

Al Jazeera English has reported the passing of Qatar's former Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, at the age of 74. The news segment outlines the defining moments of his leadership: he came to power in 1995, drove the expansion of Qatar's liquefied natural gas industry, founded the Al Jazeera media network, introduced the nation's first permanent constitution in 2004, and successfully secured the bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He voluntarily stepped down in 2013, handing over authority to his son, Sheikh Tamim. Remembered as the "Father Emir," his death has drawn official expressions of grief and serves as a moment to reflect on his enduring legacy—modernizing Qatar and positioning it as a significant force in global economics and diplomacy.

Qatar's top equestrian destination, Al Shaqab (part of Qatar Foundation), just dropped a fun 57-second video takeover featuring young campers from their Internal Summer Camp. The clip is packed with adorable moments – kids riding in indoor arenas, feeding hay to their favorite horses 🥕, snapping selfies in full riding gear 🤳, and soaking up knowledge in classroom sessions about all things equine 📚.
The video is perfectly timed for the June 2026 camp sessions, which are designed for riders aged 10–14. It shines a spotlight on the camp's hands-on approach to horsemanship – blending practical training with education to help young riders build real skills, confidence, and a lifelong love for horses in a professional, supportive setting 🌟
A Saudi Aramco helicopter crashed in eastern Saudi Arabia on June 28, 2026, resulting in the deaths of all 14 people on board. The incident occurred at a critical moment, as the Ras Tanura facility had just resumed operations after a months-long pause linked to regional tensions. While Saudi authorities have launched an official investigation, the cause of the crash remains unknown .
.
Date and location: The crash took place on June 28, 2026, in Ras Tanura, a key oil refinery and export terminal on Saudi Arabia's eastern coast.
Fatalities: All 14 Saudi nationals aboard the helicopter were killed.
Visual evidence: Footage shared by @ConnectingPak showed the wrecked aircraft, smoke rising from the site, and emergency responders at the coastal location.
Recent context: Ras Tanura had resumed crude loadings only days earlier, after a four-month halt caused by regional conflicts.
Official response: Saudi authorities confirmed the accident via the energy ministry and state-run media, and have opened an official probe.
Cause: As of now, no cause has been determined, according to reports from Reuters, Al Jazeera, and the BBC.

Qatar's Ministry of Transport has issued an immediate safety advisory, suspending all maritime activities for leisure boats, fishing boats, jet skis, and similar private vessels until further notice. Commercial vessels that follow international maritime conventions—such as cargo ships and tankers—are exempt from this suspension.
The temporary measure was coordinated with security authorities and mirrors Qatar's previous precautionary halts during periods of heightened regional tensions in the Persian Gulf.

QatarEnergy confirms that there was an operational incident during the start-up of operations at Ras Laffan Industrial City which resulted in an explosion and fire at Barzan local gas supply facility in the evening hours of…
______________________
🔥💥 QatarEnergy reports explosion + fire at Barzan gas facility (Ras Laffan) during start-up operations – June 21, 2026.
🚒 Emergency teams quickly contained it. No injuries mentioned. 🙏
🏭🌍 Ras Laffan = world’s largest LNG hub – but Barzan = for domestic use, not exports – so global markets? Probably safe... for now. 😅
⚡📉 The twist? This same site was hit by major Iranian missiles in March 2026 💢 – caused massive damage & global price spikes 📈. So this "contained incident" lands in a very tense regional atmosphere. 🧨
Bottom line:
✅ Contained.
✅ No injuries.
❓ But timing + location = everyone’s watching closely. 👀🌊

The little girls, who were joined at the chest and belly since birth in 2024, underwent the complex procedure led by a team of 22 specialists. This marks the 72nd case handled under Saudi Arabia’s Conjoined Twins Programme, which has been running since 1990. 🇸🇦💉
Heartwarming footage shows the emotional moment of the surgery, the parents’ tears of joy and relief 😭❤️, and the careful post-op care. The initiative is part of Saudi Arabia’s free humanitarian efforts to help children with rare birth conditions from around the world. 🌍🤝

We all know mangoes are packed with goodness – they're rich in vitamins (like A, C, E, B6, and folate), minerals (such as potassium and magnesium), digestive enzymes, and plenty of fiber. All that makes them great for immunity, skin, digestion, and heart health. 💪🧡
But – despite all these benefits, mangoes aren't suitable for everyone. Here's who should be cautious or avoid them:
🚫 People who should limit or avoid mangoes:
Those with diabetes or blood sugar concerns – about 22–25g of natural sugar per cup. Pair with protein/fat or choose less ripe fruit. Avoid juice.
People with latex allergy – cross-reactivity can cause itching, swelling, or severe reactions.
Those with IBS, fructose intolerance, or sensitive digestion – fiber and fermentable carbs may trigger gas, bloating, or diarrhea.
People prone to skin allergies – mango skin/sap contains urushiol (like poison ivy), which can cause rashes. Some may also get acne or heat-related symptoms.
Anyone with active diarrhea or weak digestion – excess mango can worsen symptoms.
People on low-sugar or low-carb diets – due to natural sugar content.

_______________________
🦈 Whale shark sightings follow a strong seasonal pattern. In the summer, they are very common – even daily or weekly – in the hotspot area. However, outside of summer, they are rarely seen or completely absent.
🐬 Dolphins, on the other hand, can be spotted throughout the year. Their presence is steady and reliable, but they do not gather in the same dramatic concentrations as whale sharks during peak season.

QR 10.3 billion ≈ USD 2.83 billion
The deficit is largely due to the regional fallout from the war on Iran and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted vital oil and gas shipments. This crisis has severely constrained energy revenues not only for Qatar but for all Gulf states, while regional security spending has surged. As a result, Qatar's first-quarter budget recorded a significant shortfall despite efforts to stabilize other income streams.
