Save the Children sta inviando in Niger aiuti alimentari di emergenza per garantire la sopravvivenza di migliaia di bambini gravemente malnutriti. 41 tonnellate di cibo sono state trasportate a Niamey, capitale del Niger, da un volo umanitario partito nei giorni scorsi da Ostenda (Belgio). “Ogni minuto che passa rappresenta un ulteriore rischio di vita per tanti minori” - sottolinea Filippo Ungaro, portavoce di Save the Children Italia. Sono 15.000 circa i bambini sotto i 5 anni a cui l'organizzazione internazionale indipendente per la tutela e la promozione dei diritti dei bambini, sta prestando soccorso nella regione di Maradi, afflitta da una grave carestia dovuta alla drastica riduzione delle piogge nel corso del 2005 e alla diffusione delle locuste.

Amnesty International ha denunciato che migliaia di bambini in tutto il Nepal stanno subendo violenze e gravi abusi in un brutale conflitto interno che vede contrapposti, da nove anni, i ribelli maoisti e le forze di sicurezza. Nel suo rapporto "Nepal: bambini coinvolti nel conflitto", l’organizzazione per i diritti umani sottolinea che "i bambini nepalesi sono uccisi, detenuti illegalmente, torturati, stuprati, rapiti e reclutati per attività militari e accusa ambedue le parti in conflitto di violare i diritti fondamentali dei bambini". Entrambe le parti in conflitto sono responsabili dell’uccisione di bambini: le forze di sicurezza hanno ucciso bambini sospettati di coinvolgimento con i maoisti, mentre questi ultimi hanno rapito e ucciso figli di personale delle forze di sicurezza e causato la morte di molti bambini bombardando deliberatamente infrastrutture civili e abbandonando ordigni esplosivi improvvisati in aree civili.

Palestine's art scene is remarkably vibrant; Ramallah and Gaza held successful theatre festivals this summer. Although some have questioned art's importance in a war zone, Abdelfattah Abu-Srour, of the Gaza Theater Festival, explains that theatre allows people to release the “anger, frustration, and pressure they live under, and to deliver their message in a peaceful, nonviolent, and civilized way.”

Nei giorni scorsi l'International Labor Rights Fund ha depositato presso la Corte federale di Los Angeles una denuncia contro Nestlé, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) e Cargill, tre compagnie che importano cacao dalle coltivazioni della Costa d'Avorio, accusandole di traffico di bambini, torture e lavoro forzato - riporta RsiNews. La denuncia, avviata dallo studio legale dell'Alabama "Wiggins, Childs, Quinn & Pantazis", riprende le accuse di tre persone, che al momento dei fatti erano minorenni, e risiedono nella città di Sikasso, nel Mali dove dal 1996 ad oggi si calcola siano stati a migliaia i bambini costretti ai lavori forzati. Secondo l'accusa i bambini, originari del Mali, furono trasferiti in Costa d'Avorio e costretti a lavorare 12-14 ore al giorno per sei giorni la settimana, senza essere pagati, con poco cibo, costretti a dormire in stanze affollate, chiuse a chiave e sorvegliate, e spesso frustati.
