the meeting will also be webcast from the FDA website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>EUROPE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MILLIONS DISPLACED BY WAR IN UKRAINE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the total forced to flee their homes in Ukraine rises above 10 million, attacks on healthcare facilities there due to Russia\u2019s continuing bombardment are averaging more than two per day, the UN warned on March 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe, along with our partners, remain deeply concerned over the impact of reported fighting on civilians trapped in cities in eastern, northeastern and southern Ukraine, including in Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Izyum, Donetsk, Mykolaiv, and Mariupol,\u201d said UN Spokesperson, St\u00e9phane Dujarric, briefing correspondents at UN Headquarters in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Feb. 24 when the invasion began, more than 10 million people have now been forced from their homes in search of safety and security &#8211; nearly a quarter of the population of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes an estimated 6.5 million men, women and children who are internally displaced, said UN migration agency, IOM, on Monday, and nearly 3.5 million people who have crossed international borders out of Ukraine as refugees, according to UN refugee agency, UNHCR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IOM&#8217;s data show that 13.5 percent of those newly displaced had already had prior experience with displacement during 2014 and 2015, when Russia\u2019s military annexed the Crimea from Ukraine, and backed separatist militants in the eastern regions of Luhansk and Dontetsk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMany of those displaced are particularly vulnerable, pregnant and breastfeeding women, elderly persons, those with disabilities, chronic illnesses and people directly affected by violence,\u201d reported IOM. More than 60 percent of heads of households surveyed, are accompanied by children, and more than 53 percent of internally displaced people are women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency said the most pressing needs include medicines, health services and financial resources. Some 186,000 of the displaced are third country nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe scale of human suffering and forced displacement due to the war far exceeds any worst-case scenario planning,\u201d says IOM Director General Ant\u00f3nio Vitorino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cResponding to the needs of those internally displaced and stranded within Ukraine is our top priority. Our teams have been reaching thousands of people with essential aid, but we need hostilities to cease, in order to be able to reach people in severely affected areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Humanitarian organizations are concerned about the risk of trafficking and sexual exploitation and IOM has scaled up its trafficking prevention measures, providing verified and safe information to refugees and third-country nationals on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The World Health Organization says it has verified six additional reports of attacks on healthcare facilities in Ukraine on March 20, Mr. Dujarric said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs of March 20, WHO has verified 52 attacks on health care in 25 days. WHO notes that this is more than 2 attacks per day, stressing that this, of course, is unacceptable and that health care must always be protected,\u201d added the UN Spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>ASIA<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NORTH KOREA TIGHTENS GRIP ON CITIZENS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In North Korea &#8211; also known as the \u201cDemocratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea\u201d (DPRK) &#8211; human rights violations remain systematic, and the authorities\u2019 grip on the population has \u201ctightened,\u201d the Human Rights Council heard on March 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forum\u2019s UN-appointed independent expert Tomas Quintana, reported that the situation had worsened as a result of COVID-19 prevention measures, exacerbating a suspected humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 10 million people &#8211; more than 40 percent of the country &#8211; are also food insecure and fewer that three in 10 infants receive a minimum acceptable diet, said Mr. Quintana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDraconian measures have further strengthened the State\u2019s control over the population, such as the policy of shooting individuals who attempt to enter or leave the country\u201d without permission, said the expert, in reference to buffer zones set up on the border with China and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Quintana, whose official title is Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the DPRK, told the Geneva forum that new legislation introduced in December 2020 in an attempt to keep the coronavirus at bay, had allowed for \u201cgrossly disproportionate punishments &#8211; including the death penalty &#8211; for accessing forbidden information, particularly of foreign content.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The alert follows concerns already raised by the Special Rapporteur about the country\u2019s \u201ccoercive system of governance\u201d that deprived people of their fundamental freedoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis situation has not improved during the time of my mandate,\u201d he said. \u201cOn the contrary, control over the population has further tightened, particularly since the beginning of 2020 in the context of COVID-19 prevention measures. The prolonged border closures and restrictions on movement in-country have decimated the market activity that has become essential for the general population to access basic necessities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although present at the Human Rights Council, North Korea\u2019s representative declined to respond to the allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listing some of the abuses faced by the country\u2019s people, Mr. Quintana highlighted arbitrary arrest and detention, torture and ill-treatment, restrictions on freedom of expression, religion and thought, access to information, freedom of movement and forced labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Camps for political prisoners &#8211; known as kwanliso &#8211; \u201crepresent the worst excesses\u201d of the DPRK\u2019s control of the population, who fear arbitrary detention and mistreatment in far-flung locations, the rights expert continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Noting that in 2021 President Kim Jong UN had acknowledged that the country faced some of its worst-ever difficulties, Mr. Quintana explained that there had been no reform of the public distribution system to provide adequate and nutritious food for the most vulnerable populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>AFRICA<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LIBYAN COAST PROVES DEADLY FOR MIGRANTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past two weeks, at least 70 migrants have gone missing at sea and are presumed dead off the coast of Libya, the UN migration agency said on March 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am appalled by the continuing loss of life in the Central Mediterranean and the lack of action to tackle this ongoing tragedy,\u201d said Federico Soda, Libya Chief of Mission for the International Organization for Migration (IOM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On March 12, a boat reportedly carrying 25 migrants capsized near the Libyan coast of Tobruk and while authorities rescued six people and recovered seven bodies, 12 others remain missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest incident brings the total number of migrants reported dead or missing in the Central Mediterranean up to 215 this year, according to IOM\u2019s Missing Migrants Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Libya has long been a springboard for people fleeing from countries ravaged by war and poverty with the hope of reaching Europe for a better life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IOM continues to call for concrete action to reduce the deaths in the central Mediterranean route through proactive, dedicated search and rescue missions along with a safe disembarkation mechanism, in accordance with international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMore than half of this year\u2019s deaths have been recorded near the Libyan coast,\u201d said the IOM official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most recent shipwreck follows devastating reports of Feb. 27 incident in which a fiberglass boat left Sabratah port and was capsized by waves just four hours later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While 15 bodies, including one baby, were washed ashore over the following days, no survivors were found, and some 35 migrants are still missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEach missing migrant report represents a grieving family searching for answers about their loved ones,\u201d Mr. Soda reminded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World News Flash UNITED STATES On March 21, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is announcing a virtual meeting of its
