MBZ g-1692359831595 — UAE’s Humanitarian Mission to Gaza: The decision by UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to initiate a humanitarian operation in Gaza through the Gallant Knight 3 operation, involving UAE humanitarian organisations and medical volunteers, signifies a crucial response to the dire situation in the region. With Gaza facing severe communication disruptions and a devastating toll of casualties, this mission not only aims to provide immediate aid but also stands as a testament to the UAE's commitment to global humanitarian causes. It emphasises the urgency of collective action and international support in alleviating the suffering caused by the conflict and underscores the significance of sustained assistance until a lasting resolution can be achieved.

Berklee — VIGILANCE AGAINST SCAMMERS: In the digital age, buying tickets has never been easier. We eagerly await the arrival of our favourite artists and performances, and many of us naturally turn to online sources. However, a recent cautionary tale, unveiled by the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD), highlights the danger associated with procuring counterfeit tickets from dubious sources. A fan was lured by what appeared to be a golden opportunity on a social media platform, and diligently followed their instructions, which included the so-called "validation of a code.” On the day of the concert, the grim truth emerged. As he presented his electronic tickets, he was met with a shocking revelation: the tickets were null and void. He was not the only one ensnared by this digital deception. The story of this young man underscores the necessity for due diligence and heightened awareness is more critical than ever. Let us remember this tale and ensure that we protect ourselves against ticket scammers who prey on our passion for live entertainment.

Copy of 867583-01-02-1699188202848 — VIRAT KOHLI HAS LIVED TRUE TO HIS WORDS: In 2011, when India clinched the World Cup, a young Virat Kohli praised Sachin Tendulkar's pivotal role in the victory, suggesting it was their turn to support the cricketing icon. Fast forward 12 years, Kohli now finds himself shouldering the weight of the Indian team, on the brink of securing their third 50-over World Cup title. Having matched Tendulkar's 49 One-Day International centuries in significantly fewer matches, Kohli's approach and circumstances differ from the cricketing legend's era. Yet, what's truly remarkable is Kohli's consistency and commitment. His hunger for success remains undiminished, hinting at more records to be shattered and further glory for Indian cricket.
