UN Iraq SRSG visits rehabilitation centre, underscores importance of repatriation and reintegration [EN/AR/KU]

Attachments

Jedaa 1 Rehabilitation Centre, Ninewa, 17 November 2024 – Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) for Iraq and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), Dr. Mohamed Al Hassan, visited today the Jedaa 1 Rehabilitation Centre in Ninewa Governorate.

At the Centre, the SRSG met with the Minister of Migration and Displaced, Mrs. Evan Faeq Jabro. The discussions focused on strengthening coordination and cooperation on the repatriation and reintegration file.

The SRSG toured the facility, currently home to an estimated 2,000 returnees from the Al-Hol camp in Syria, most of them women and children. He was briefed on the work of UN agencies and their partners, which support the Government in service delivery and coordination inside the Centre. He also met with a number of residents in the interest of hearing first-hand their comments, concerns, and hopes, in order to address any concerns they might have.

The rehabilitation Centre, under the Ministry of Migration and Displaced, has become the transit facility for a new life for over 10,000 individuals since May 2021. Rehabilitation and reintegration support for the returnees, which includes legal assistance to access civil documentation, mental health and psychosocial support, education, health, economic empowerment and livelihoods programs to strengthen life skills, and efforts to reconnect returnees with their families and communities, are some of the services the Centre offers.

Commending the Iraqi Government’s efforts to repatriate its citizens, SRSG Al Hassan highlighted the significant progress already made, noting the substantial number of individuals already repatriated and reintegrated into communities despite complex security, legal, and humanitarian challenges. Dr. Al Hassan called for the swift and safe return of all Iraqis from Al-Hol camp.

“Iraq’s proactive approach is a positive example for other countries to follow. Iraq of today, and Iraq of the future, is demonstrating…

‘Tyncavage’ spelling error disenfranchises 142 voters

WILKES-BARRE — The Luzerne County Board of Elections decided Friday it won’t count 1,301 mail-in ballots from the 119th state House District because the ballots were canceled and supposed to be segregated.

But an employee inadvertently opened the outer envelopes of those ballots, and 1,159 of those 1,301 voters in the 119th District submitted second ballots. Friday’s decision disenfranchises 142 voters from the Nov. 5 election.

“I think everyone in this room knows there is no good answer,” board Solicitor Gene Molino said. “The board is going to have to make a decision on what’s the least bad answer to this.”

If the board counted the 1,301 ballots, the board would have allowed 1,159 voters to vote twice. Election officials said they had no way to determine the identity of voters who cast them once the outer envelopes were opened.

In early October, the election bureau canceled about 6,700 mail ballots sent to voters in the 119th District because some of the ballots misspelled the name of state Rep. Alec Ryncavage as “Tyncavage.” The bureau sent a second batch of mail-in ballots to those 119th District voters with correct name spellings.

Ryncavage, a Republican seeking a second term, defeated Democrat Megan Kocher, and the unofficial vote count remains 17,382 to 9,789.

The board continued its review of provisional ballots on Friday and plans to resume its review Saturday morning. Attorneys for U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, a Democrat from Scranton, and Republican Dave McCormick were present Friday.

McCormick is leading the unofficial vote count against Casey 3,392,104 to 3,370,395, and 36,000 votes are uncounted, NBC News reported at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

In Luzerne County, the Senate campaigns have contested decisions on more than 1,000 provisional ballots, and a hearing on the challenges will be held Tuesday. Voters are allowed to cast provisional ballots if they received mail-in ballots or…

Health officials across Delmarva on ways to manage Diabetes

Diabetes Awareness Month

 

DELMARVA – About 1.5 million people die from diabetes annually according to the World Health Organization, and those numbers continue to increase. While diabetes can be deadly, experts on Delmarva say one can successfully manage the disease with proper nutrition, education, and most importantly, determination.

Blindness, kidney disease, and stroke are just some of the things that can happen if diabetes goes unchecked. Certified Diabetes Specialist for Atlantic General Hospital, Dr. Nakita Cropper says Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune condition and can only be treated with insulin. On the other hand, Type 2 has more to do with genetics and lifestyle and can be treated with oral medication, injectables, and insulin.

Dr. Cropper says low-income individuals have a higher risk of being diagnosed, and that we have to address both the disease and the disparities. “Although it is often difficult receiving the diagnosis, that it is possible for individuals to successfully manage the condition and live long, healthy, fulfilled lives… We know that African Americans and Hispanics are most likely to be diagnosed with the condition. underserved groups are more likely to experience difficulty with accessing healthcare.”

Adults should get at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week according to Dr. Cropper, and she says there are a few risk factors to look out for. “Being overweight or obese. Having limited physical activity daily, smoking, as well as having a hormonal condition such as polycystic ovarian syndrome.”

Exercise isn’t the only way to manage this disease, there is also nutrition according to Kelly Williams, Nutritionist for the Worcester County Health Department. “I think the biggest challenge people face when managing diabetes is knowing how to combine foods. People who are diabetic can eat all foods. It’s just knowing the proper proportions,…

Tidewater Park is dedicated with blessing, ribbon cutting last week in Laurel

While area children have been enjoying it since the first piece of equipment was installed, last Friday Tidewater Park in Laurel was officially opened with the ribbon cutting ceremony and a blessing by the Nanticoke Indian tribe.

“I can’t express how excited I am for this moment—it’s truly an honor to be part of such a special occasion. Of all the projects I’ve seen completed in our town, this is by far my favorite. This park is one of a kind, and it’s a true gem that only Laurel can proudly claim,” said Laurel Town Manager Jamie Smith.

Smith thanked the Nanticoke Indian tribe for sharing their stores as well as the Ramble committee for believing in the project. The total cost of the project was $1,661,322 with $1,642,000 of that coming from grants and contributions. Less than $20,000 of the cost came from town funds.

Smith thanked the following for supporting the project: Laurel Women’s Civic Club, Laurel Lions Club, Sen. Coons and Sen. Carper, Community Project Funding, Representative Tim Dukes and Sen. Bryant Richardson, Community Transportation Funds, Delaware Division of Parks and Recreation, Delaware Department of Natural Resources, University of DE Sea Grant, Nanticoke Watershed Alliance, and Laurel Redevelopment Corporation.

Dr. Jules Bruck, former director of the School of Landscape Architecture at the University of Delaware, at the request of Ed Lewandowski of the Delaware Sea Grant Program, volunteered her expertise to design the park. Her goal was to create a space that not only reflected Laurel’s rich history but also stood out as a unique and memorable location. In her research, Dr. Bruck uncovered the important role the Nanticoke Tribe played…

Indiana Fever Set the Record Straight With Caitlin Clark WNBA Assists Recognition

The Indiana Fever’s social media team behaves exactly like one should that has Caitlin Clark on the roster. Which means they recognize her accomplishments whenever possible. That was the case again with a recent post touting her record-breaking assists totals as a rookie.

However in this instance, the content came in sharp contrast to the botched praise by the WNBA on the previous day. Coincidental, or maybe not, the Fever made no mistake in highlighting Clark’s accomplishments.

The WNBA had put out a much maligned Clark post as part of assists week that included an inaccurate number for her record total, saying she had 321 on the season when the correct stat was actually 337. It received a community note on X and was eventually deleted.

The league’s official account followed that up by making another error, showcasing an assist from Chelsea Gray of the Las Vegas Aces. The problem was that the play, which came against the Fever, was from 2023. That was also deleted before another Gray assist was posted, also coming against Indiana.

All of this perhaps emboldened the Fever’s admin to set the record straight. The team’s…
