Ramallah, located in the occupied Palestinian territory on the West Bank, is a bustling urban center surrounded by barriers and checkpoints that define every aspect of residents' lives. Speaking at the UN Forum of Mayors in Geneva, Ramallah Mayor Issa Kassis noted that the challenges facing city authorities are exacerbated by conflict and occupation.

For Cassis, housing isn't a privilege, but a matter of survival. "We resist," he says, "simply by remaining on our land. Occupation isn't just tanks and soldiers. It restricts not only your movement, but also your thoughts, plans, aspirations, and your vision of the future."

Providing basic services under occupation is also more difficult: "Our wells are located in Area C of the West Bank, where Israeli security is controlled. Israeli settlements are also located there, and settlers are attacking these water sources, undermining efforts to provide water, which is already among the lowest per capita in the world. Meanwhile, settlers enjoy their swimming pools."

To adapt, Ramallah is investing in wastewater treatment and irrigation projects, using recycled water to create green spaces. "When you see greenery, you see hope. And when you see hope, you strive for it," says the mayor.

Cultivating resilience

The cost of occupation is measured not primarily in barriers and shortages, but in lost lives. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), nearly 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October 2023, more than 200 of them children.

Local residents are constantly under pressure, especially for families with children. "We are a young society," explains Kassis. "More than 65 percent of Ramallah residents are under 40. Half of them are teenagers or children." He says parents want their children to live freely and enjoy life, but they constantly fear harassment and arbitrary arrests.

"Thousands of people are behind bars. Every day, people are detained without a court order and held for six months, with the possibility of extension. The goal is to crush our spirit," the mayor believes. Nevertheless, he emphasizes, resilience remains: "Look at Gaza. Look at the smiling children. For me, that's resilience. These people choose life, no matter what."

Cassis believes that resilience must be nurtured from childhood – through education, green spaces, and fostering pride in one's land. "We've built this through years of hard work and raising our children to appreciate life, the beauty of the city, love the land, and feel a sense of belonging. It's part of our DNA in the municipality," he notes.

The way forward

The UN supports a two-state solution as the basis for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—an independent Palestinian state living side by side with Israel in peace and security. Key issues that remain to be resolved include borders, settlements, the status of Jerusalem, the refugee issue, and security arrangements.

Until that vision becomes reality, says Kassis, the people of Ramallah will continue to live in hope.

October 13, 2025 UN

Every year, 1.2 million people die on the world's roads, and another 50 million are injured. "These aren't just statistics. These are children going to school, parents going to work, people whose lives are shattered in an instant," reads a statement from the Secretary-General, delivered Monday by Assistant Secretary-General Naveed Hanif at a high-level event at UN Headquarters.

Road accidents are the eighth leading cause of death globally and the leading cause of death among children over five and young adults. The problem is particularly acute in low- and middle-income countries, where 90 percent of all road deaths occur. Pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and children—those who lack access to safe transportation and road infrastructure—are the most common victims.

The Secretary-General emphasized that solutions already exist: from improved urban planning and safe public transport to mandatory helmet and seatbelt use, speed enforcement, and effective emergency protocols. These measures have the potential to save thousands of lives.

The UN actively supports road safety efforts, with 94 countries already receiving assistance. In Brazil, the implementation of speed control protocols has reduced fatalities, in Rwanda, helmet laws protect motorcyclists every day, and in Laos, a new licensing system improves driver safety.

On the eve of the start UN Decade of Sustainable Transport calls for new partnerships in which philanthropic organizations should play a key role. "Your commitment has helped overcome polio, tuberculosis, hunger, and maternal mortality. Now it can transform the road safety landscape," António Guterres noted.

Road safety, according to the Secretary-General, is not only a matter of public health but also of development, urban planning, and climate action. "Together, we can save millions of lives and give the green light to road safety," he concluded.

The situation in Gaza

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who is taking part in the peace summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, welcomes the ongoing compliance with the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, as well as the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees. He called on all parties to strengthen this regime and transform it into a lasting peace. Meanwhile, UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher announced the release of an additional $11 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund to expand humanitarian operations in the enclave ahead of winter. Speaking today in Sharm el-Sheikh ahead of the summit, he noted that the UN and partners are actively implementing their humanitarian plan.

Conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo

There is now "realistic hope" for a ceasefire that will pave the way for a lasting and final settlement to the conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). UN Special Envoy for the Great Lakes Region of Africa Huang Xia stated this at a Security Council meeting on Monday. He stated that despite the progress achieved through peace initiatives, further efforts are needed to achieve sustainable peace. The Special Envoy praised the efforts of the United States and Qatar to facilitate negotiations and expressed hope that they will resume soon.

Violence in South Sudan

This was stated today by experts from the UN Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan following their mission to the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. They reported that the number of armed clashes and forced displacements is again increasing: approximately 300,000 people have fled the country since the beginning of the year. The region is home to 2.5 million South Sudanese refugees.

Antimicrobial resistance

Every sixth laboratory-confirmed case of infection with common bacterial infections worldwide in 2023 was characterized by resistance to antibiotic treatmentBetween 2018 and 2023, more than 40 percent of monitored pathogen-antibiotic combinations demonstrated increasing resistance, according to a report published today by the World Health Organization (WHO). WHO data indicate that growing resistance to essential antibiotics poses a growing threat to public health.

'Sweet Cooperation' Reshapes China-ASEAN Fruit Trade

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

NANNING, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) — Durian, a fruit so potently scented that it is banned from some Asian hotels, is gaining a new status in China, becoming a symbol of economic integration and everyday luxury.

In the bustling, fragrant aisles of Haijixing Market in southern China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (GZAR), the prickly "king of fruits" is no longer a rare delicacy; for many, it has become a common purchase. This large wholesale fruit market, located in Nanning (the capital of GZAR), is now overflowing with durians, which are selling out fast.

The abundance of colorful fruits on the market, including durians and mangosteens from Thailand, and dragonfruit from Vietnam, conceals a complex, high-risk operation that runs daily in a race against time. This is the most tangible result of the "sweet cooperation" between China and ASEAN countries, which is gaining dizzying momentum, changing eating habits, economies, and the significance of fruit for many.

This transition from luxury to near-ubiquity is a logistical marvel created in border cities like Pingxiang, located on the Sino-Vietnamese border and home to the Yuyiguan (Friendship Outpost) land crossing. Here, the theoretical maps of regional trade agreements are realized in the continuous flow of trucks crossing the border, carrying precious cargo from the orchards of Southeast Asia.

The customs process at this border crossing is streamlined to ensure maximum speed. It ensures that Thai durians and mangosteens can travel from the tree where they grew to a dinner table in a Chinese city thousands of kilometers away, perfectly fresh.

The mechanism that supports this process is a combination of policy and labor. The State Fruit and Vegetable District (SFD) in southern China has turned fruit logistics into a science. According to Li Shuo, deputy head of the regional department of commerce, the region has created special "windows" for imported fruit, as well as "green corridors" for expedited customs clearance.

The goal is to reduce customs clearance to a total of six hours. The system uses a two-stage clearance process, allowing for the conditional release of compliant imported fruit, significantly reducing waiting times. Border crossing points operate nonstop, using a 24/7 appointment system, ensuring uninterrupted tropical traffic.

Statistics demonstrate the success of this approach. In 2024, the GCAR imported nearly 2.5 million tons of fruit from ASEAN, valued at nearly 35 billion yuan (approximately $4.93 billion), accounting for more than a third of China's total imports of such goods from ASEAN.

But this process is evolving further, going beyond simple transit. The initial import model assumed that fruit arrived in the GCAR only to be immediately shipped north by truck, creating a "corridor economy" with limited local benefits. Today, a more profound transformation is underway.

Near the border, the fruit's journey lengthens. At the local processing plant in Pingxiang, whole fruits are no longer considered finished products but rather raw materials. They are washed, pulped, and transformed into juice bottles or candied fruit packages. A company representative emphasized the rationale behind this initiative: processing ASEAN fruit immediately after customs not only preserves its flavor but also significantly reduces costs.

This marked a key shift from transit trade to local processing, a strategy actively promoted by the local government to build a complete industrial chain integrating planting, importing, processing, and marketing.

Guangxi Tiandong Yisheng Import and Export Trade Co., Ltd. has focused its efforts on mangoes. "We sell fresh mangoes, mango popsicles, and mango juice to Southeast Asia, where they are very popular," said the company's chairman, Lin De'en.

This creates a virtuous cycle in which local and imported fruits are processed through the new industrial base, feeding higher-value products back into regional supply chains. The GCAR has consolidated this shift by building specialized China-ASEAN fruit trading centers in Chongzuo, Nanning, and Qinzhou—designed to serve as hubs not only for trade but also for display, storage, settlement, and advanced processing.

Underlying this booming trade is the strong trade complementarity between the fruit sectors of China and ASEAN, according to Wang Jiubing, head of the fruit technical guidance station at the ASEAN Regional Council. ASEAN member states send their durians, mangosteens, and coconuts north, while China sends its apples, pears, oranges, and tangerines south—a "sweet complementarity between temperate and tropical zones."

The China-ASEAN Free Trade Area was a major boost, eliminating tariffs on approximately 7,000 goods on both sides in 2010. This policy change made regular durian consumption affordable for the average Chinese consumer.

Now, the largest free trade area in developing countries is preparing for its updated version 3.0, which promises to further enhance consumer freedom of choice. The technical terminology of the update—unification of food supply chains, simplified customs procedures, mutual recognition of sanitary and phytosanitary standards—reduces to a simple and powerful promise for consumers: fresher, cheaper fruit with more reliable quality.

What began as a simple exchange of goods has matured into a deep relationship between countries, where the speed of fruit trucks passing through border crossings and the hum of machinery in the fruit factories of the GCHAR directly determine the sweetness of each final bite. -0-
