WORLD WATER DAY, UNICEF BLAMES SCARCITY OF WATER ON DROUGHT AND CONFLICTS IN NIGERIA AND OTHER COUNTRIES

Image
Approximately one in four children worldwide will live in regions with extremely scarce water resources by 2040, UNICEF said in a report Wednesday. The Agency noted that drought and conflict are factors behind water scarcity in parts of Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen, the report says. Nearly 1.4 million children in those areas facing “imminent risk of death” from famine. In research released on World Water Day, the United Nations children’s agency warned that in just over two decades nearly 600 million children will be living in areas with severely limited safe water sources, as population growth and surging demand for water clash with the effects of climate change.

WONDERS AS HAWK THROWS SNAKE INTO A MOVING CAR IN AUSTRALIA

Image
Australian drivers are often warned to look out for critters that stray onto the road. But there was no avoiding this snake as it was dropped onto a moving car (circled) by a hawk in Queensland. A motorist called Joanne was driving near the Wivenhoe Dam, west of Brisbane, when the bird of prey suddenly swooped towards her vehicle. She and her passengers screamed as the bird swept across the road with a large snake between its claws. The driver’s dash camera captured the moment the hawk let go of the serpent, sending it slamming into the windscreen. The bird quickly took off into the skies, leaving Joanne and her friends in shock. But their screams soon turned to laughter as they realised they were fine.  SOURCE:DASH Camowner Australia.
