Algeria: Desert Locust Bulletin 576 (6 October 2026)

Algeria: Desert Locust Bulletin 576 (6 October 2026)

Countries: Algeria, Afghanistan, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, India, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Liberia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Spain, Sudan, Togo, Tunisia, Yemen Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Please refer to the attached file. ISOLATED ADULTS IN THE WESTERN REGION In September, the general locust situation appeared calm across the three desert locust breeding Regions. In the Western Region, solitarious adult populations continued to be present in Mauritania and Chad, but no locusts were seen in Algeria and Tunisia. No surveys were conducted in Mali and Niger. In the Central Region, isolated adults were seen in Egypt, and no locusts were seen in Sudan, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Oman. In the Eastern Region, no locusts were seen in Iran, Pakistan and India. During the forecast period, summer breeding in Mauritania, southern Algeria, northern Mali and Niger, and Chad could result in increasing locust populations in the Western Region, where hopper and adult groups may form by the end of the forecast period. Surveys should continue in the summer breeding areas of these countries as the ecological conditions are favorable for breeding, and preventive control may be required. In the Central Region, small-scale breeding may occur in the summer areas of Sudan, the western lowlands of Eritrea and the interior areas of Yemen. Small-scale winter breeding may begin on the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden coastal plains, but no significant developments are expected. In the Eastern Region, summer breeding may occur along the Indo-Pakistan border; however, no significant developments are expected.

Libyan unity talks upended as warlord’s son linked to drone attacks on fuel facilities

Libyan unity talks upended as warlord’s son linked to drone attacks on fuel facilities

Western Libya’s GNU say working with Saddam Haftar ‘impossible’ as US-backed merger plan breaks down Allegations that the son of the Libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar oversaw a “terror cell” that launched drone attacks on fuel storage facilities and power stations in western Libya have upended plans for the Tripoli-based government of national unity (GNU) to continue cooperating with Haftar on a plan to unify the country. Saddam Haftar, the deputy commander of the so-called Libyan National Army (LNA), has increasingly been seen by the US as an important figure in its plans to unify Libyan security, judicial and political institutions.

Libya — Migrant Report 63 (May – June 2026)

Libya — Migrant Report 63 (May – June 2026)

Countries: Libya, World Source: International Organization for Migration Please refer to the attached file. During the May–June 2026 reporting period (Round 63), the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) identified 950,004 migrants across 100 municipalities and 641 communities in Libya, representing a slight increase of less than 1 per cent compared to the previous round, when 943,748 migrants were identified in March–April 2026. This marginal increase may reflect the seasonal rise in mobility typically observed ahead of the summer peak. Longitudinally, migrant presence in Libya has increased by 35 per cent since April 2023, when 705,746 migrants were identified, coinciding with the onset of the conflict in Sudan. As Libya enters the third year since the start of the Sudanese conflict, its current migrant landscape continues to be shaped by long-standing seasonal and economically driven mobility patterns, alongside conflict-related flows that have contributed to changes in the composition and scale of migrant presence.

Afghanistan: Situation analysis of disability-inclusive health systems in the Eastern Mediterranean Region

Afghanistan: Situation analysis of disability-inclusive health systems in the Eastern Mediterranean Region

Countries: Afghanistan, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, occupied Palestinian territory, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen Source: World Health Organization Please refer to the attached file. In the Eastern Mediterranean Region, an estimated one in seven people – 134 million in total – live with significant disability, and this number is growing due to increases in noncommunicable diseases and life expectancy. Some significant steps forward have been made to address the needs of persons with disabilities, yet they still face systemic and persistent health inequities across countries/territories. There is an urgent need to strengthen disability inclusion in the health sector, which is the impetus for this report. This report aims to assess current evidence and policies on disability inclusion in the health sector in the Region. It also aims to identify issues and challenges, to provide insights that can inform and promote stronger action at the regional and national levels.

The truth behind Donald Trump’s ‘biggest oil deal in world history’

The truth behind Donald Trump’s ‘biggest oil deal in world history’

The US’s oil deal with Venezuela faces multiple legal and logistical problems, including questions about whether it can be implemented Donald Trump has long coveted the oilfields of other nations and declared an agreement with Venezuela to be “the biggest oil deal in world history”. But the deal, reached after the US seized Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, is almost certainly doomed to collapse amid a wide array of legal and logistical issues, a Guardian investigation has found. The US president first mused about taking oil from Iran in 1987, when he told ABC’s Barbara Walters that Iranian attacks on American shipping during the Iran-Iraq war required an extreme response. “Why couldn’t we go in and take over some of their oil, which is along the sea?” he asked. Over the ensuing years, he has returned frequently to the idea that America should seize oil from other countries after military conflict, from Libya to Iraq. Continue reading...

Yemen: Critical funding needs across the Middle East and North Africa - September 2026

Yemen: Critical funding needs across the Middle East and North Africa - September 2026

Countries: Yemen, Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Syrian Arab Republic Source: UN High Commissioner for Refugees Please refer to the attached file. US$122 million is urgently required across ten operations to keep essential services open, prevent irreversible harm and safeguard progress before the end of 2026. Across the Middle East and North Africa, years of investment in protection, inclusion, self-reliance and solutions are under strain. Operations are reducing assistance and services that had already been tightly prioritised, leaving families with less access to cash, shelter, documentation, health care, safe water, education and specialised protection. Timely, flexible funding can prevent today’s shortfalls from becoming longer-term protection setbacks, while preserving critical services and nationally anchored pathways to inclusion and sustainable return.

Libya’s Largest Oilfield Hit by New Armed Group Blockade

Libya’s Largest Oilfield Hit by New Armed Group Blockade

Crude oil production at Libya’s largest oilfield, Sharara, has slumped over the past day after an armed military group closed a valve on the pipeline that carries crude oil from the field to the Zawiya port for exports, in yet another global supply scare amid ongoing disruptions in the Middle East. An armed group has closed Valve n.7 on the pipeline, Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) said, adding that the closure caused a pressure buildup within the crude oil pipeline, leading to a significant reduction in production at the Sharara…
