Jakarta – The Executive Board of the Islamic Student Association (PB HMI) regrets the flash floods and landslides that hit the regions of Aceh, North Sumatra (North Sumatra) and West Sumatra (Sumbar). HMI asked the government to declare a national disaster status. “We are currently facing a humanitarian emergency situation, every life is precious, and we must not be indifferent. The central government must immediately declare national disaster status so that all resources and assistance can be mobilized quickly and optimally,” said Head of the Public Health Department of PB HMI, Nur Hariyani, in his statement, Sunday (30/11/2025). PB HMI assesses that the extent of serious infrastructure damage to the point of cut off road access, the expansion of affected areas and isolated areas, as well as the increasing number of victims, are sufficient indicators to judge that national disaster status must be declared immediately. HMI assesses that the critical situation these three provinces are currently facing should receive maximum assistance immediately. Scroll TO CONTINUE CONTENT “Right now, victims really need medical services, clean water, food and proper evacuation facilities. Without massive mobilization, many lives are at risk,” he said. Meanwhile, Bagas Kurniawan, general chairman of PB HMI, stressed that this situation is a race against time. According to him, every second is valuable in disaster management. “Hundreds of lives have been lost, families have been destroyed, if the disaster management structure is slow and not prioritized, then we are playing with people’s lives. Currently, mutual cooperation and national solidarity must be the main priority. PB HMI calls on the government to immediately take a firm stand to declare a national disaster emergency status to Sumtra Ac status for disasters, North Sumaa time in West Suma. wait,” says Bagas.

Tel Aviv, November 26 (IANS). These days, Israel is fighting on two fronts in the health sector. On the one hand, there is a threat of increasing cases of measles, and on the other hand, there is increasing reluctance among people towards the vaccine. The country, which for years maintained a near-perfect record in routine vaccination of its children, has now seen that confidence eroded by the lack of interest in vaccination that has emerged following the Covid-19 pandemic. A Bar-Ilan University study reported a marked decline in uptake of routine vaccines for children in Israel after the pandemic – particularly MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) and DPT. Parents who used to vaccinate their children without asking questions are now becoming more cautious, skeptical and in some cases hostile. The research found that 6.6 percent of parents who vaccinated their older child before the pandemic decided not to vaccinate their younger child; This is ‘enough to activate the existing disease’. These results came to light when 11 children died of measles in Israel since May. Most of them are not vaccinated. According to the department, 1,644 cases of infection were reported by the end of October and 577 victims were hospitalized. The study’s researchers found that MMR vaccination of children in Israel has declined by about 3 percent compared to before the pandemic. This change seems small, but experts say that this decrease is very significant for a disease like measles, this too when Israel said that this disease will be completely eradicated. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world—if one person becomes infected, about 90 percent of unvaccinated people in the area can also contract it. Therefore, a decrease in the vaccination rate even in a small group can increase the risk for the whole country. This is why measles is spreading rapidly in some parts of Israel, especially in areas where vaccination rates are already low. The way health guidelines changed frequently during the COVID pandemic, misinformation spread on social media, and many people changed their opinions about the vaccine — it also affected confidence in routine vaccination. Many parents in Israel said that they did not get clear information at the time of Covid vaccines, which forced them to think about general vaccination as well. This changed psychological environment led to ‘waning interest in vaccines’. A situation in which people no longer see vaccines as dangerous, but begin to see them as unnecessary or questionable. This thinking became a direct threat to diseases such as measles. Israel’s health department has repeatedly said two doses of MMR can almost completely prevent measles. Still, communities where anti-vaccine sentiment grew stronger during COVID are now turning away from even routine vaccinations. This decline is not only visible in the data, but in hospitals and clinics – where parents who come to doctors ask more questions than before, are more worried and sometimes want to avoid the vaccine despite understanding the risk of measles. The Times of Israel quoted health experts as saying that it will not be easy to rebuild the trust lost during Covid. Vaccination rates in Israel, especially among urban-religious communities and some migrant groups, were previously lower than the national average; Now the skeptical thinking that arises ​​​​​​after Covid has made these areas more sensitive. This rise of measles is not just about a disease, but a warning of a crisis of confidence. Even in countries like Israel, where the health system is considered strong, post-Covid misunderstandings and fear have shaken the confidence built over years in the vaccine. –IANS KR/

The Defense Corridor in Bihar was announced by the NDA government after the recently held elections (in November 2025). This is a big step to make Eastern India a technological hub. Union Home Minister Amit Shah had promised this during the election campaign. This corridor will mainly focus on projects related to defense production, manufacturing and technology. Major Projects and Facilities to be Built Explosive Production Units: This corridor will have explosive manufacturing factories that will be used in military operations on all the borders of the country including Pakistan and China. This is part of the initiative to increase self-reliance in the defense sector. District level factories and industrial parks: Defence-related factories, MSME (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) parks and industrial parks will be built in each district. This will increase local employment. Semiconductor Manufacturing Park: As part of the Defense Corridor, a park will be developed for manufacturing chips and electronics, which are essential for defense equipment. Global Capability Centers: International-level research and development centers that will focus on defense technology. Mega Tech City and Fintech City: Connecting the defense corridor with the technology hub, Mega Tech City (a large-scale IT and innovation hub) and Fintech City (a financial technology hub) will be built. This will boost defense as well as IT and finance sectors. The aim of this corridor is to make Bihar the new technology hub of Eastern India, with a plan to create 10 million jobs in the next five years. The Defense Corridor alone will generate 500,000-700,000 direct jobs and 200,000-250,000 indirect jobs. Engineers, technicians, labourers, security guards and drivers will all find work. Where will the corridor be built? In the first phase, large plants will be built in 5-8 districts, followed by factories in all 38 districts. Special places already finalized or whose names are most considered… Rajgir (Nalanda) – A large ammunition factory (large 155mm shells will be made) has already been approved. Gaya – A large explosive (gunpowder) manufacturing plant. Aurangabad – An arms and ammunition factory. Rohtas (Sasaram-Dehri on Zone) – An important arms hub. Buxar – A New Ordnance Factory Board Plant. Bhojpur (Ara) – Handguns and parts. Vaishali, Muzaffarpur, Sitamarhi and Shivhar – Drones and electronic parts.

Aurangabad). Propellant for rockets and missiles. Drones and electronics Small surveillance drones (spy drones). Drone cameras and batteries. Radar Parts. Night vision device. Bihar Defense Corridor Bullet proof vehicles and other equipment. Bulletproof vehicles (lightly armored vehicles). New uniforms and shoes for soldiers. Medical kits, bandages that work immediately after the shot. Other major projects are also being developed: Semiconductor factories – chips used in mobile phones, drones and missiles will be made here. Mega Tech City – Near Patna or Bihta (like Bengaluru). Fintech City – Companies that develop banking software. 11 new small smart cities (townships) – homes, schools and hospitals for factory workers. An MSME park in each district – small factories where bolts, uniform stitching and packaging work will be done. When will it be ready? The plan and land will be finalized by the end of 2025. Construction of large plants will begin in 2026. Most of the factories will be operational by 2028-2030. Now the people of Bihar will not have to run to Delhi and Mumbai for farming or work. Now AK-47, cannon shells, drones, chips and gunpowder will all be made in Bihar. The boys and girls of the town will become engineers and technicians, and will find well-paying jobs close to their homes. Now Bihar will not only teach but also make weapons.

Taiwan – a small island facing the world’s greatest military threat. China, which considers Taiwan as its part, is constantly increasing its military. Planes, ships and missiles around Taiwan. In this regard, Taiwan is strengthening itself with the help of the US. First came the US missile defense system. Now there is a plan to increase the defense budget. Let us know what US weapons are deployed in Taiwan, what is the budget and what is the threat from China. Chinese threat: Why is Taiwan afraid? China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is the largest army in the world. In 2025, China plans to increase its defense budget by 7.2% to $245 billion (about Rs 20 lakh crore). They constantly threaten to take over Taiwan. How many accidents have occurred involving China-Pakistan fighter jets? Why so much fuss about Tejas? Gray Zone Attack: In April 2025, 27 Chinese aircraft and 9 ships entered Taiwan’s Air Defense Zone (ADIZ). It’s not rust, it’s pressure. Fear of blockade: China may encircle Taiwan. Stop the ships. 70% of Taiwan’s imports travel by sea – food, oil, chips. Preparing to attack: A US report says China could be ready to attack Taiwan by 2027. But Taiwan will not surrender – the US is with it. Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-tey says that our greatest weakness is surrender. That’s why Taiwan focuses on asymmetric warfare – smaller, faster weapons that defeat a larger enemy. Taiwan’s Defense Budget: How Much Did It Increase, Why? Taiwan’s defense budget was previously low – 2.5% of GDP. But now there is a change in this. In 2025: Budgeted at 2.84% of GDP (about $20 billion). This is 20.1% more than last year. 2026 plan: 3.32% of GDP (about $22 billion). This includes Coast Guard and Pension. Big Announcement – November 2025: President Lee announces a special budget of $40 billion (approx. Rs. 3.3 lakh crore). It will run from 2026-2033. Where will it be spent? 50% on the purchase of American weapons. The rest on drones, AI, missiles, submarines and cyber defense. Target: 5% of GDP on defense by 2030. The US has talked about spending at least 5%. Fear of Chinese attacks. Taiwan says that preparing for war prevents war. But opposition parties (KMT, TPP) are trying to cut the budget. This budget will strengthen Taiwan – more ammunition, training and domestic arms production. American weapons: what is used in Taiwan? The US sells defense weapons to Taiwan under the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979. In 2025, the Trump administration made its first sale – F-16 jet parts, worth $330 million. Total sales since 2021 have reached $18 billion. The backlog (remaining deliveries) is $21.54 billion. NASAMS (National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System) is a very powerful air defense system that intercepts incoming missiles, fighter jets and drones. This system prevented Russian attacks in the Ukraine war. Taiwan gets three units and radar. Its price is approximately $700 million. The contract was signed in November 2025, and first deliveries are expected by the end of this year. They will be deployed in Songshan Airport of Taipei and Tamsui area of ​​New Taipei. Here, these, along with the Patriot and Taiwan’s own Sky Bow missiles, will form a strong three-layer defense shield. Patriot PAC-3 MSE is the world’s most advanced ballistic missile defense system. It can also intercept China’s long-range missiles in the air, the range of which is more than 100 kilometers. Taiwan gets 100 missiles. Their value is $882 million. Deliveries will begin in 2025 and will be fully operational by 2026. They will be deployed at major air bases in northern Taiwan to directly protect the capital, Taipei, and major cities. HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) It is a mobile rocket launcher with a range of 300 kilometers. If China attacks, it can attack Chinese coastal areas and ships directly from Taiwan. Taiwan gets a total of 29 launchers, 84 ATACMS missiles and 864 GMLRS rockets. The total value of this transaction is $1.06 billion. The first 11 units arrived in January 2025, and the remaining units will arrive in 2026-27. They are deployed in Western Taiwan, North and South Taiwan and Penghu Island. ATACMS Missiles These are 300 km range missiles used in HIMARS. It can target air bases and ships directly off the Chinese coast. Taiwan received its first batch of 16 missiles in January 2025, and 20 more are on the way. It is part of the HIMARS deal and there was no need to buy it separately. Harpoon anti-ship missiles: These are special missiles for sinking ships in the sea. These will be fired from the coast of Taiwan and can sink Chinese warships. Taiwan gets five launchers and AGM-84L-1 Block II missiles. It is part of the 2025 agreement. The entire delivery will be completed by 2027. It will be rolled out in the entire coastal area. Parts for F-16, C-130 and IDF aircraft Taiwan already has US F-16 fighter jets and C-130 transport aircraft. Now the parts and repair kits needed to get the old jet ready to fly are arriving. A deal worth $330 million was signed in November 2025. These parts will be used at all major Air Force bases in Taiwan. Switchblade Drones These are very small suicide drones. A soldier can carry it in a backpack and fly it directly at enemy tanks or soldiers. Taiwan is getting a total of 685 drones. Of these, 66 have already arrived. Another 150 will come by the end of 2025 and the rest in 2026. These will be with the Taiwanese army and military police. Altius-600M Drones These are slightly larger drones that can also spy on and attack the enemy. Can do too. Their delivery started in 2025, the rest are also in the pipeline. They will be deployed in different areas of Taiwan. With these weapons, Taiwan is now fully prepared to make any Chinese attack very expensive. Other weapons: TOW-2B anti-tank missiles, M1A2T Abrams tanks (1st battalion in 2025), radar systems (AN/TPS-77, AN/TPS-78). A total of 18 transactions are underway – 15 on schedule, 2 late. Co-production: Barracuda-500 Cruise Missile – US-Taiwan Cooperation. Cheap for Chinese ships. Training: 30 Taiwanese soldiers went to the US for training. These weapons give Taiwan a stoop-backbone strategy — making a Chinese attack costly. Taiwan’s preparation: Not just weapons, a complete plan Military Reform: 1 year compulsory service. Salary will rise. Complete preparation by 2027. Domestic weapons: Sky Bow III (ballistic missile defense), Hsiung Feng III (anti-ship, 400 km range). Infrastructure: Underground bunkers, strong air bases. AI command system. Cyber ​​​​Defense: Sorry to stop Chinese hacking. US support: Trump said he would give more weapons to Taiwan. But he also pushed for a trade deal. The threat remains: what happens next? China opposes every US sale, calling it an internal matter. But Taiwan says that force is necessary for peace. The Rs 40 billion budget is yet to be approved – the opposition could block it.
