Pakistan is home to over 4 million Afghan migrants and refugees, about 1.7 million of whom are undocumented, according to Islamabad. Cash-strapped Pakistan, navigating record inflation and a tough International Monetary Fund bailout program, also said undocumented migrants have drained its resources for decades. The information minister for Balochistan province, which borders Afghanistan, told Reuters it is opening three more border crossings. Pakistani citizens who help undocumented migrants obtain false identities or employment will face legal action, Bugti warned. There are more than 2.2 million Afghan migrants in Pakistan with some form of documentation recognized by the government that conveys temporary residence rights.

'BATTLE OF THE WHOLE NATION'Many of the Palestinians who arrived in Lebanon and their descendants still live in 12 refugee camps around the country, which now hosts about 174,000 Palestinian refugees. The walls in Burj al-Barajneh, like other camps, are covered in graffiti backing Palestinian factions, which are effectively in control. Security and governance is in the hands of Popular Committees and Palestinian factions, the United Nations Palestinian refugees agency UNRWA says. Meanwhile, many in Gaza, a narrow strip of land just 40 km (25 miles) long where 2.3 million people live, most of them also Palestinian refugees from what is now Israel, have been displaced again.

An aerial view shot showed destroyed buildings in al-Zahra in the Gaza strip on Friday. (Belal Alsabbagh/Agence France-Presse/Getty Images)Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant laid out a three-phase war plan that envisions a ground invasion to end Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip and an eventual move by Israel to end its responsibility under international law for the isolated Palestinian enclave. Gallant said the goal was to destroy Hamas infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, which was the staging ground for the militant group's Oct. 7 attack that killed 1,400 people in southern Israel.

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli airstrikes pounded locations across the Gaza Strip early Thursday, including parts of the south that Israel had declared safe zones, heightening fears among more than 2 million Palestinians trapped in the territory that nowhere was safe. Hamas officials in Gaza blamed an Israeli airstrike, saying hundreds were killed. Airstrikes also hit three residential towers in al-Zahra, within the area that was told to evacuate, the Interior Ministry in Gaza said. Egypt must still repair the road across the border, which was cratered by Israeli airstrikes. He also announced $100 million in humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday warned that Israel's conflict with Palestinian militant group Hamas will not be a short-term engagement. Palestinian militant group Hamas said an Israeli airstrike in the north of Gaza City killed the head of its Hamas-led security forces. Violence between Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank and Israeli forces and settlers has meanwhile surged amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. On Thursday, three Palestinians in the West Bank including two teenagers were killed by Israeli forces after they stormed the village of Budrus, Palestinian official news agency WAFA reported. More than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel over the same period, according to Israeli authorities.

The issues that earned these 15 teenagers a trip to the White House are also priorities for the Biden administration, including first lady Jill Biden, who was convening the first “Girls Leading Change” event to celebrate Wednesday's designation by President Joe Biden as International Day of the Girl. The honorees, including a pair of twins, range in age from 15 to 18 and represent 13 states. “These young women are protecting and preserving the earth, writing and sharing stories that change minds and turning their pain into purpose,” Jill Biden said in a written statement before the ceremony. She founded her school's Latino Student Union and organizes students on issues like climate justice and preventing gun violence. —Gabriella Nakai, 17, of Phoenix, is a Navajo and Choctaw leader who works on improving food security and sustainability.

☆ Brace for another Fed rate hike thanks to a 'problematic' surge in oil prices, billionaire investor Jeff Gundlach says
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-21 | by ( Zahra Tayeb | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Expect another rate increase by the Fed at its next meeting due to a "problematic" surge in oil prices, billionaire investor Jeff Gundlach said. "I think the probability of rate hikes is higher than what I thought before this oil spike happened," Gundlach said. Oil prices have climbed past $90 a barrel after Saudi Arabia and Russia slashed production. "So I think the chance of a rate hike is higher because these oil prices are going to be a real problem," Gundlach said. Surging oil prices now threaten to spark a resurgence of US inflation, which the Fed has tried so hard to quell.

Indonesia appears to be the latest country to jump on the de-dollarization bandwagon. The island nation has launched a National Task Force to promote local-currency transactions. The move is expected to help make the rupiah more stable, and support local financial markets, Bank Indonesia said. The island nation has announced it's formed a National Task Force to widen the use of local currency transactions (LCT) with partner countries, according to Indonesia's central bank. While some experts perceive de-dollarization efforts as a threat to the greenback, others have dismissed the movement as a nothingburger.

Russia's trade with the US has hit a 30-year low amid Western economic sanctions against Moscow. Meanwhile, Russia's trade with China is on track to hit an all-time high of more than $200 billion. The Eurasian nation's trade with the US plunged to a three-decade low in July, while its commerce with China is on track to hit an all-time high of more than $200 billion this year. Russia's trade with China is set to surpass the $200 billion milestone this year, according to the minister of economic development Maxim Reshetnikov, per a local Russian news outlet. However, Russia's oil and gas trade now appears to be making something of a comeback after a year of pain, thanks to a rally in global oil prices.

☆ The price of olive oil surges more than 100% to all-time highs as a Mediterranean drought threatens supplies
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-19 | by ( Zahra Tayeb | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

Olive oil is the latest commodity to see prices spike to record highs. The average price in August was 130% higher than a year earlier, surpassing levels not seen since 1996. "Consumer and cultural preferences for olive oil make it difficult to substitute despite plentiful supplies of other vegetable oils," the USDA said. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, global olive oil prices spiked to $8,900 a ton in September as extremely dry weather in the Mediterranean raised the risk of supply disruptions. "While prices have moderated consumption somewhat, consumer and cultural preferences for olive oil make it difficult to substitute despite plentiful supplies of other vegetable oils," it added.

For many Libyans, the collective grief over the more than 11,000 dead has morphed into a rallying cry for national unity in a country blighted by 12 years of conflict and division. The oil-rich country has been divided between rival administrations since 2014, with an internationally recognized government in Tripoli and a rival authority in the east, where Derna is located. "The wound or pain of what happened in Derna hurt all the people from western Libya to southern Libya to eastern Libya,” he said. Gen. Khalifa Hifter’s forces besieged Tripoli in a yearlong failed military campaign to try to capture the capital, killing thousands. The Prime Minister of Libya’s Tripoli government, Abdul-Hamid Dbeibah, said he and his ministers were accountable for the dams' maintenance, but not the thousands of deaths caused by the flooding.

☆ The Fed may do a policy U-turn and slash interest rates as soon as year-end - because a recession almost here, J.P. Morgan Asset Management's CIO says

The Fed may cut rates as soon as year-end as a recession hits the US economy, according to J.P. Morgan Asset Management's CIO. Such a move would be similar to how the Fed dropped its "transitory" call on inflation and started raising rates, he said. "They're going to tell us that they're going to keep rates higher for longer until inflation is at their target. "I think this time for them to cut rates, they're going to have to see unemployment go up. So it's possible that they may actually tip the economy into recession first before they start cutting rates, which would be something new for them.
