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...

LEGO UNVEILS LARGEST SET EVER WITH 12,060-PIECE SAGRADA FAMILIA MODEL INSPIRED BY BARCELONA LANDMARK. (PHOTO).



LEGO unveils largest set ever with 12,060-piece Sagrada Familia model inspired by Barcelona landmark

  

LEGO has unveiled its largest set in company history, a 12,060-piece replica of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

The LEGO Architecture set is available for pre-order now ahead of its Nov. 1 release and carries a price tag of $799.99. The release coincides with commemorations marking 100 years since the death of architect Antoni Gaudí, who designed the landmark basilica. Construction of the real Sagrada Familia began in 1882 and continued long after Gaudí died in 1926. Earlier this year, the basilica reached structural completion with the finishing of the Tower of Jesus Christ, making it the tallest church in the world at 172.5 meters.

With 12,060 pieces, the model officially becomes the largest LEGO set ever produced, surpassing the previous record held by the LEGO Art World Map at 11,695 pieces. Other major sets include the Eiffel Tower at 10,001 pieces, the Titanic at 9,090 pieces, and the Colosseum at 9,036 pieces.

The finished model stands about 2 feet tall and more than 18 inches wide and 15 inches deep. It features a stained-glass effect designed to replicate the way light moves through the real basilica, along with detailed recreations of its 18 towers, three ornate facades, and forest-like interior.

Designed by LEGO Architecture designer Rok Žgalin Kobe, the set is recommended for builders ages 18 and older due to its complexity, with an estimated build time of 25 to 35 hours. LEGO said the design aims to faithfully capture the architectural significance of the landmark.

The Sagrada Familia, located in Barcelona, remains the world’s largest Catholic church and is still undergoing finishing work on decorative elements expected to continue into the next decade.
