Last update: 11 hours agoPharmaceutical pollution: Researchers report a “chemical cocktail” of everyday medicines in Djibouti’s Gulf of Tadjourah, with untreated urban wastewater flagged as the main route—ibuprofen, caffeine, carbamazepine, and the TB antibiotic levofloxacin were detected near Djibouti City, raising ecological risk for coral reefs, mangroves, and fish nurseries. Humanitarian support for refugees: Qatar Charity launched “Every Refugee Tent Holds a Story” for World Refugee Day, aiming to protect refugees’ rights and deliver food, clean water, shelter, health care, and education support across countries including Djibouti. Inclusive growth and health security: A commentary on Djibouti’s growth path warns that high debt and exposure to external shocks—especially Middle East tensions affecting shipping and energy prices—can quickly translate into higher living costs and strain public wellbeing. Labour and health access ripple effects: Kuwait’s updated domestic worker recruitment rules restrict hiring to 10 approved countries and ban many others including Djibouti, a shift that may affect household staffing, migrant health coverage, and care availability for families.
