WHO has recognized Egypt as a malaria-free country. WHO has certified Egypt as a malaria-free country, marking a historic milestone in the fight against the disease, the organization said in a press release. “The World Health Organization (WHO) has certified Egypt as malaria-free, a significant public health achievement for a country of more than 100 million people,” the organization said in a statement on its website. The WHO added that the achievement was the result of “nearly 100 years of efforts by the Egyptian government and people” to prevent the disease, which has been prevalent in the country since ancient times. WHO grants malaria-free status to a country if it provides detailed and reliable evidence that the chain of transmission of malaria-carrying mosquitoes has been interrupted throughout its entire territory for at least the last three years. Malaria is an infection transmitted through a mosquito bite. WHO previously reported that despite progress, the African region continues to be hit hardest by the deadly disease.

Britain wants to modernize the Sea Viper air defense system.

Britain  wants to modernize the Sea Viper air defense system.

The UK intends to spend $514 million to modernize the Sea Viper anti-aircraft missile system, which British forces used to hit drones in the Red Sea, media reported, citing data from the country’s Ministry of Defense.


Earlier it was reported that the UK and the US repelled the largest attack by the Ansar Allah movement (Houthis) in the Red Sea.

Reportedly, the contract was concluded with the British division of the concern for the production of missile systems MBDA. The Sea Viper will receive missiles with new warheads and will also be equipped with software to counter ballistic missile threats.

 


Earlier, the Ansar Allah movement, which controls much of Yemen’s Red Sea coast, warned of its intention to attack ships linked to Israel or heading to its ports and called on other countries to recall their crews and not approach them at sea. The United States announced that in response to the increasing attacks by the Houthis, along with ten other countries, it would launch an operation to protect shipping in the Red Sea. In response to this, Ansar Allah warned that they reserve the right to attack ships of countries participating in the joint coalition with the United States.
