Following the crash, a New Jersey State Police medevac helicopter landed in nearby Unami Park, which is on the border of Cranford and Garwood.

In a letter to the Cranford Public Schools community on Monday, Superintendent Scott Rubin identified the victims as students, and said a crisis team would be available to support students at each of the district’s schools.

“Our Cranford community suffered a terrible tragedy this evening,” Rubin said. “While we respect the privacy of the families involved, we understand that this news will no doubt impact our school community. Please know that we are here to offer and provide comfort and support during this very difficult time.”

“Our thoughts are with all of you, and especially the families and closest friends of the students involved. Please look after one another throughout our Cranford community and share any strength you have with those who need it most,” he added.

Keynote Remarks – SRSG Dr. Mohamed Al Hassan | High-level plenary meeting of the General Assembly to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the World Programme of Action for Youth | 25 September 2025 [EN/AR]

Excellencies, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, leaders of today and tomorrow,

As we gather here today, we celebrate not only all that has been achieved in the last 30 years of the World Programme of Action for Youth, but we also have an opportunity to build on those achievements to ensure more full, effective and meaningful participation of the young citizens of the world.

It is striking that roughly half of the world’s population is under 30. They are leading the way in tackling the world’s most urgent challenges and are the primary stakeholders of tomorrow. So – without a doubt – it is in the interests of current and future generations, and the world as a whole, that the youth of today participate effectively and meaningfully in making decisions about tomorrow. But in order to achieve that, we must adopt multifaceted strategies; we need to invest in education systems that not only impart knowledge but also cultivate critical thinking, leadership, and civic engagement skills among youth. Programs that promote skills for the 21st century—such as digital literacy and environmental stewardship—are essential. In this digital and Artificial Intelligence age, technology serves as a powerful tool for young people to mobilize, advocate, and collaborate. We must create safe online spaces where they can express their views, engage with policymakers, and take part in global dialogues.

Today I will give you the example of Iraq where I have the honour to serve as the Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Iraq and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI). In Iraq, great strides have been made in the last 30 years. Iraq has a vibrant, youthful population, with under fifteens alone making up 36% of the population. Iraqi youth have demonstrated their resilience time and again as the…

DSRSG/RC/HC Ghulam Isaczai – Speech Launch of Substance Use Report and Guidelines [EN/AR]

Al Qana Rehabilitation Centre, Baghdad, September 07, 2025

Your Excellency Dr. Saleh Al-Hasnawi, Minister of Health
Distinguished Dr. Hanan Balkhi, Regional Director of WHO Eastern Mediterranean region
Honorable colleagues from the Ministry of Health,
Distinguished partners and guests,

It is a great honor to welcome you all to this important gathering, which brings together high-level leaders and stakeholders to address one of Iraq’s most pressing challenges – the issue of drugs and their impact on public health, security, and society.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all attendees for your commitment and leadership in confronting this critical issue, and for your continued support in advancing Iraq’s national response.

Today, we convene to discuss the serious challenge of drug use and trafficking. This issue is of utmost significance for Iraq’s stability, public health, and the protection of its youth – the foundation of the country’s future.

In recent years, Iraq has moved from being primarily a transit country to becoming a country of consumption, with thousands of cases recorded annually, most affecting young people.

We commend the efforts of the Government of Iraq, particularly the Ministry of Health, for preparing the report on the Drug use situation in Iraq and development of the National Protocol for the management of substance use disorders, launching the community awareness guideline and establishing specialized centers such as Al-Qanaa Rehabilitation Center – located on the site of the former Canal Hotel, where several of our UN colleagues lost their lives 22 years ago. Transforming the site of this tragic event into a rehabilitation center and witnessing the launch of these reports from this very location is a significant tribute to the victims of this tragic incident.

The United Nations remains committed to supporting Iraq in addressing the drug use challenge. This work…

Mosul restores Al-Hadba Minaret and Churches in landmark reopening

2025-09-01T08:31:36+00:00

Shafaq News – Mosul (Updated at 15:42)

Mosul’s historic landmarks, including the Great Al-Nuri Mosque with its leaning Al-Hadba Minaret and the churches of Al-Saa’a and Al-Tahira, officially reopened on Monday after years of reconstruction under UNESCO’s Revive the Spirit of Mosul initiative.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani arrived in the city to attend the opening ceremony alongside a high-level Iraqi and Kurdish delegations as well as UN officials and an Emirati delegation led by Minister of Culture Salem bin Khalid Al-Qasimi.

According to Shafaq News correspondent, PM al-Sudani performed the noon prayer inside the mosque following the completion of restoration works.

In his speech, al-Sudani hailed the reconstruction as “a great victory over black terrorism,” adding that the mosque and its minaret “stand tall once again, a reminder to enemies of Iraq’s strength against destruction.”

Kurdish Interior Minister Reber Ahmed stressed that terrorism had sought to extinguish “the light of Mosul” by targeting religious and cultural landmarks, but “what was destroyed in stone was never erased from people’s memory or their conscience.” He commended the sacrifices of Iraqi forces, including the Peshmerga, in liberating the city from ISIS, and underlined the importance of rejecting divisions while strengthening coexistence and civil peace.

Former UAE Minister of Culture and current member of the UAE Cabinet, Noura Al Kaabi, considered the occasion as proof of resilience. “Today, the…

Kuwait leaders hold talks with UNAMI representative

Kuwait keen on UN cooperation, says Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef as UNAMI mandate nears end

KUWAIT: His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah received on Sunday the United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Representative in Iraq and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), Ambassador Dr Mohammed Al-Hassan.

Kuwait’s First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef Saud Al-Sabah also met with Ambassador Al-Hassan during his official visit to Kuwait. The officials discussed enhanced cooperation and coordination between Kuwait and the UN in support of regional security and stability.

During the meeting at Bayan Palace, Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef emphasized Kuwait’s commitment to maintaining close collaboration with the United Nations. The discussions also touched on recent developments in regional and international affairs. Ambassador Al-Hassan expressed appreciation for Kuwait’s supportive role in promoting security and stability in the region.

UNAMI mandate to end

The visit comes as UNAMI’s mandate approaches its final phase, set to expire on December 31, 2025. The mission has played a central role since 2013 in addressing two longstanding humanitarian issues stemming from Iraq’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait: the fate of missing Kuwaiti and third-country nationals and the return of stolen Kuwaiti property, including state archives. Despite recovering and identifying 59 individuals and facilitating the return of hundreds of thousands of cultural items, 315 persons remain unaccounted for, and substantial portions of Kuwait’s archives remain missing.

Kuwait has called for continued UN oversight after UNAMI’s mandate ends, urging the appointment of a High-Level Coordinator to ensure accountability and transparency, while Iraq has preferred a bilateral approach.

In March and April 2025, Head of UNAMI Mohamed Al-Hassan visited Kuwait for high-level meetings with senior officials,…
