Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:23:20 GMT

The World Health Organization (WHO) has requested that Russia allow aid workers into territory seized from Ukraine in order to help people affected by the collapse of the Nova Kakhovka dam. In an interview with POLITICO, Hans Kluge, the director of the WHO’s Europe office, said the health authority is assisting flooded zones in Ukraine, sending people and equipment to help with disaster relief. Around 300 WHO health workers have been mobilized, along with medical kits to care for about 16,000 people. Twenty thousand cholera laboratory test kits have been sent to strengthen disease surveillance efforts. Kluge said that the WHO was also concerned with the health situation in territory controlled by Russia, to which it doesn’t have access. The now-defunct Nova Kakhovka dam straddled the Dnipro River in Ukraine’s Kherson region, which is mainly under the control of Russian forces. The structure was critically damaged on June 6 and since then dramatic flooding has affe...

New York (CNN) — Over the past few years, restaurants from White Castle to Wendy’s have been investing in artificial intelligence tech for drive-thrus.
