Rising poverty and hunger in Lebanon: The fight against malnutrition for low-income families
Meanwhile, Israel is being rocked by some of the largest protests in its 75-year history. At stake is the independence of the judiciary. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is seeking a major overhaul the legal system, which critics say amounts an attack on Israel's democratic institutions like the Supreme Court.

On February 20, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake rocked southern Turkey and northern Syria, just two weeks after a massive tremor killed around 45,000 people in the same region. The new quake claimed several more lives and sparked panic in communities still reeling from the devastation earlier this month. One such place is Nurdagi, a once-bustling city near the epicentre, which now lies in ruins. Our colleagues from France 2 report, with FRANCE 24's James Vasina and Olivia Bizot.
