UN, February 28 /Xinhua/ — In February, UN agencies distributed food to approximately 200,000 families, or nearly 1 million people, in the Gaza Strip, despite rations being halved, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported.

The organization noted that the reduction in rations was primarily due to insufficient supplies: about two-thirds of the aid trucks attempting to pass through the Egyptian corridor in February were turned back.

OCHA noted that nine coordinated humanitarian operations were planned for Thursday, but five of them encountered obstacles. A request for an assessment of a water, sanitation, and hygiene facility in northern Gaza was categorically rejected, the organization added.

"These patients face challenges in an already fragile health system, especially as access to prosthetics and other essential assistive devices remains severely limited. The UN and partners continue to call for barriers to be removed so they can scale up assistance," OCHA stated.

Washington, February 27 (Xinhua) — Nuclear talks between the United States and Iran have made "significant progress" toward an agreement that is "within reach," Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi said in an interview with CBS News on Friday.

Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump said he was dissatisfied with the progress of the negotiations.

Iran has agreed "never, under any circumstances, to possess nuclear materials that could be used to make a bomb," Oman's foreign minister said, calling it a "great achievement."

As he specified, the country's existing stocks of enriched uranium will be "reduced to the minimum possible level" and "processed into fuel, and this fuel will be irreversible."

He said Iran was ready to provide International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors with "full access" to its nuclear facilities to verify the terms of the deal.

"A peace agreement is within reach," Oman's foreign minister said, adding that some details require "a little more time" to be finalized.

Technical talks are scheduled for Monday in Vienna, and B. al-Busaidi expressed hope for another meeting with US representatives Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

Also on Friday, D. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the Iranians “don’t want to give us what we need,” demanding that Tehran completely stop enriching uranium.

"We'll see what happens. We'll talk later," Donald Trump told reporters as he left the White House on Friday morning, noting that he had not yet made a final decision on a possible strike on Iran.

Tensions between the United States and Iran have risen sharply amid a massive American military buildup in the Middle East and stalled negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.

Washington, February 27 (Xinhua) — The United States has designated Iran a "state sponsor of wrongful detention," US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday, amid escalating tensions between the two countries.

As stated in a written statement by the US Secretary of State, “Iran has continued to brutally detain innocent Americans and citizens of other countries for decades to use this as leverage over other countries.”

“If Iran does not stop doing this, we will be forced to consider additional measures, including potential geographic restrictions on the use of U.S. passports for travel to, from, or transit through Iran,” M. Rubio noted.

"No American should travel to Iran for any reason. We reiterate our call for all Americans currently in Iran to leave immediately," the US Secretary of State emphasized.

SHANGHAI, February 28 (Xinhua) — The China-SCO Collaboration Center for Metabolic Diseases was established in the eastern Chinese metropolis of Shanghai on Friday. The opening ceremony was attended by Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Secretary-General Nurlan Yermekbayev and Deputy Head of the National Health Commission of China Zheng Zhe.

The new center is based at the prestigious Ruijin Hospital affiliated with the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Medical College. As Shanghai's first national-level platform for specialized professional cooperation within the SCO, the center aims to coordinate the efforts of SCO countries to jointly address issues related to metabolic diseases and develop systemic management in this area, thereby contributing to improving the well-being of the people of all member states.

The Center will operate in the following main areas: providing medical care, organizing training for medical personnel, facilitating the shared use or promotion of new results in treatment methodology, and implementing exchanges of relevant industrial technologies.

The center is expected to train 2,000 medical professionals from SCO countries in the monitoring and prevention of metabolic diseases within three years, and to disseminate 500 units of medical and therapeutic technologies throughout the region covered by the organization.

In addition, the center will take the initiative to establish a forum on metabolic medicine within the SCO to strengthen exchanges and cooperation in the field of healthcare among the countries of this organization.

Open medical data shows that metabolic diseases pose one of the most serious threats to human health in the 21st century. Metabolic disorders such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and closely related cancers and premature aging syndromes have already become the leading killers of non-communicable diseases in the SCO region.

SCO Secretary-General N. Yermekbayev emphasized the importance of the opening of the China-SCO Cooperation Centre on Metabolic Diseases, noting that this is another significant step forward in the SCO's multifaceted cooperation in healthcare.

Zheng Zhe, Deputy Director of the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China, assured that the agency will continue to support SCO cooperation projects in healthcare, including supporting the operation and development of the said center, in order to make a greater contribution to the formation of a unified healthcare community for humanity and to building a more beautiful "SCO family."
