Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning. UNHCR is preparing for at least 10,000 new arrivals but warned that capacity is rapidly diminishing. Markazi refugee village, designed for 5,000 people, was already hosting more than 2,700 Yemenis and 1,500 Eritreans. More than 100,000 people have also been displaced ins...

 Actor James Pickens Jr. reveals prostate cancer diagnosis

 James Pickens Jr., known for his long-running role as Dr. Richard Webber on “Grey’s Anatomy,” announced that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The 73-year-old actor said the cancer was detected early thanks to routine screenings, a practice he began at age 41 due to his family history. “It’s not the kind of news anyone wants to hear, but prostate cancer has run through my family,” Pickens said. “My father had it. He had a lot of brothers; several of them had it. I would have been surprised if I hadn’t gotten it.”

Following the diagnosis, Pickens underwent a radical prostatectomy performed with robotic assistance by two urologists and spent a day in the hospital afterward. He described the cancer as being caught at an unusually early stage and is now using his experience to encourage others to get screened. “I’m living proof that early detection works,” he said. He emphasized that Black men and those with a family history of the disease should speak to their doctors about screening starting at age 40. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, with early detection typically leading to high cure rates. Risk increases with age, family history, and is higher among African American and Caribbean men of African ancestry.
