Parental Grief
What motivated Coach Nekati to start fitness training for elderly women in Zimbabwe?
Coach Nekati's motivation stems from a deeply personal tragedy. His mother was diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes, which led to a stroke resulting in her death on January 5, 2023. This painful experience prompted him to take action. Driven by grief and a desire to prevent similar suffering, Coach Nekati collaborated with a colleague to recruit elderly women for exercise programs. Their initiative aims to help these women maintain fitness and combat the chronic diseases that took his mother's life, empowering seniors in Zimbabwe to lead healthier, more active lives despite limited resources.

What would happen to children in Gaza if the ceasefire were to collapse?
If the ceasefire fails, the consequences for Gaza's children would be catastrophic. Just weeks ago, children were being killed in so-called safe zones, dying from malnutrition in their mothers' arms, languishing in pain in hospitals, and even being crushed to death while waiting for flour. This dire scenario could return if hostilities resume. UNICEF emphasizes that returning to such conditions is unacceptable, as it would mean reverting to a situation where children face extreme violence, starvation, and inadequate medical care. The stakes are extraordinarily high for the 1.1 million children in Gaza who remain vulnerable.
