Newsday Essentials
This edition of Â鶹Éç Newsday Essentials focuses on the growing regional impact of the US Israel war with Iran and other humanitarian crises across Africa and the Middle East.
The programme begins with the story of Aloysious Ssegawa, a Ugandan student who fled Tehran after explosions rocked the city. He describes waking up to the sound of bombs, evacuating with fellow students, and enduring a tense 20 hour bus journey to the border before eventually reaching safety in Uganda.
Attention then shifts to South Sudan, where thousands of civilians are fleeing the town of Akobo as government forces prepare to retake it from opposition fighters. Médecins Sans Frontières says its hospital and pharmacy were looted after aid agencies were ordered to leave, raising fears of disease outbreaks and a worsening humanitarian crisis.
