Kerala’s Youngest Organ Donor: How a 10-Month-Old Baby Saved Five Lives
In the Indian state of Kerala, a 10-month-old baby girl has saved five lives by donating her organs, a decision that would not have been possible without her father’s courage. Her father, Arun Abraham, recalled a lecture he had heard during his college days—one he never forgot—and it ultimately gave him the strength to donate his daughter’s organs, saving five people. His daughter, Ellen Sherren Abraham, has become the youngest organ donor in Kerala. She had been severely injured in a car accident some time ago. Her liver and one kidney have already been transplanted into two critically ill children, while her heart valve, second kidney, and eyes will be matched with needy patients at three hospitals in Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi. Arun, 33, said, “When the doctor told us that our daughter was brain dead, we were devastated. It was a difficult decision, but when I discussed it with my wife, she said we should donate her organs to save lives.” Arun explained that in 2013, a priest from the Kidney Foundation, Father Davis, gave a lecture about organ donation at his college. “At the time, I was a B.Com student, and that day I vowed that if anything ever happened to me, I would donate my organs.” Dr. Eshwar H, Professor of Neurosurgery at Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute of Medical Sciences and Technology, said, “This is very encouraging. Ellen has changed people’s perception of organ transplantation in the country.

US-Iran Nuclear Talks in Geneva: Progress, Red Lines, and Rising Military Tensions
On Tuesday (17 February), following the second round of negotiations between the United States and Iran in Geneva, both Washington and Tehran expressed concerns as well as some encouraging statements. After the meeting, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said that diplomatic talks between the United States and Iran had gone well “in some respects,” and that both sides had agreed to hold another meeting. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that “an understanding on fundamental principles” had been reached with the United States. Vance also said that Iran is still not prepared to accept certain “red lines” defined by President Trump. He indicated that the United States would continue on the diplomatic path, but that President Trump would ultimately decide “when to abandon diplomacy.” He added that Washington does not expect matters to reach that point, “but if they do, the decision will be President Trump’s.” On the other hand, Araghchi described the second round of talks as more positive than the first. He said that both sides would prepare two draft versions of a possible agreement document and exchange them. “However, this does not mean we will reach an agreement soon, but we have certainly started moving along the path toward one.” Araghchi further said that there are still some issues requiring additional work. Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that his country is ready to allow “verification” that Iran is not seeking to develop nuclear weapons. In remarks published on the presidential website, Pezeshkian said: “We are absolutely not trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and if anyone wants to verify this, we are ready to take the necessary steps.” The Iranian president added that Tehran will never abandon its “peaceful” nuclear program.

The 2-Hour Fast vs 14-Hour Fast: Global Ramadan 2026 Guide When Does Ramadan 2026 Start? Dates, Fasting Hours, and Global
The holy month of Ramadan is approaching worldwide, and on Wednesday (18 February) or Thursday (19 February), Muslims around the world will observe their first fast. The difference in dates depends on which part of the world you live in. In the Islamic calendar, Ramadan is the ninth month and holds great significance for Muslims. Every year, millions of Muslims fast from dawn to sunset during Ramadan. Fasting was made obligatory in the second year of Hijrah (the second year after the Prophet Muhammad’s migration from Mecca to Medina). Since then, Muslims across the world have continued the practice. The start date of Ramadan is based on the lunar calendar, which is why it shifts each year on the Gregorian calendar. Typically, Ramadan moves back by about 11 days each year compared to the previous year.

Bajaur Blast: 11 Security Personnel Killed in Suicide Attack on Check Post in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
When we were pulling people out from under the rubble, there was still firing at the check post. The personnel stationed there returned fire. And when the wounded were being transported to the hospital in ambulances and vehicles, there was firing at that time as well. This is the account of an eyewitness who reached the site to help after an explosion at a joint check post of the FC and law enforcement agencies in Bajaur district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Monday evening. Given the situation in the area, he requested that his name not be disclosed. According to him, after the Isha prayer, a powerful explosion was heard in the area, and it felt as though it had occurred right in their immediate vicinity. “More or less, this was the situation in every house in the area, where people felt as if the powerful blast had happened near their own homes.” On Tuesday afternoon, in a statement issued by the military’s media wing, ISPR, it was said that 11 security personnel and one girl were killed in the attack. ISPR stated that on Monday, militants attacked a joint check post of the security forces and law enforcement agencies in Bajaur district. According to the statement, the militants rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into the check post, causing the building to collapse. According to ISPR, nearby buildings were also damaged in the explosion, resulting in the death of a girl and injuries to seven civilians. Firing also took place while the injured were being transported Since the incident, there has been an atmosphere of fear in Bajaur district. According to local residents, security forces have cordoned off the blast site in the Loi Mamond area and are not allowing anyone to approach. Residents said that helicopters were seen in the sky early in the morning, after which the bodies were transported to the hospital. So far, no organization has claimed responsibility for the attack. The Chairman of Tehsil Nawagai, Dr. Khalil-ur-Rehman, said that he was in his hujra (guest house) last night when suddenly the door burst open due to the powerful explosion. “We couldn’t understand what was happening. Our hujra is located a few kilometers from the blast site.” He said he received calls from nearby areas reporting that an explosion had occurred near their homes. Similar reports were coming in from nearby villages, but it was unclear what exactly had happened. According to Dr. Khalil-ur-Rehman, he went to the affected check post after receiving the information. He said that residential houses near the check post were also damaged in the explosion and several civilians were injured. Dr. Khalil-ur-Rehman added that when the injured were being transported in ambulances, unidentified individuals opened fire, to which the forces responded. An eyewitness, describing the incident and subsequent rescue operations, said that the destroyed check post was a two-story building. He said that after the explosion, announcements were made from local mosques informing residents and asking them to come to the site to help rescue those trapped under the rubble. According to locals, the building had previously been used as a religious seminary. The eyewitness said, “When we arrived there and began pulling people out from the rubble, unidentified individuals were still firing at the check post.” He added, “It was a difficult time. Six bodies were recovered during the night.” The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Suhail Afridi, condemned the attack, calling it a cowardly act. He said that after the Bajaur blast, rescue agencies had been directed to carry out immediate and comprehensive relief operations. The Chief Minister added that a comprehensive and effective strategy is essential for the complete elimination of terrorism. ‘A month and a half ago, people were sent back saying the area had been cleared’ A few months ago, a military operation was carried out in the Loi Mamond area against armed militants. Dr. Khalil-ur-Rehman said that a large number of people had displaced themselves for the operation, leaving their homes and staying in camps. He said that people spent about a month and a half in the camps. According to him, about a month and a half ago, people were sent back to their areas after being told that the region had been cleared. He said the government should review its policies, as such policies are causing harm to the people. The situation in Bajaur has been tense for a long time, and attacks have targeted not only security forces but also religious leaders and their gatherings. Some attacks have been claimed by the banned organization ISIS. On July 30, 2023, a suicide bombing at a Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Fazl-ur-Rehman) rally in the Khar area killed 60 people and injured more than 100. ISIS claimed responsibility for that attack. Similarly, in July 2025, an attack was carried out on the Assistant Commissioner’s convoy on Nawagai Road in Bajaur, in which the Assistant Commissioner and four others were killed. During that period, there were also incidents of targeted killings of police officers and attacks on tribal leaders.

The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is currently positioned near Iran. It is worth noting that Washington has been increasing pressure on Iran over its nuclear program and its bloody crackdown on recent protests, even as negotiations continue. Meanwhile, U.S. and Iranian officials are set to begin a second round of talks in Switzerland on Tuesday. Iran has stated that the meeting in Switzerland will focus on its nuclear program and the possible lifting of U.S. economic sanctions, while Washington has indicated it wants to raise additional issues during the negotiations. The Abraham Lincoln is accompanied by three guided missile destroyers, 90 aircraft including F-35 fighter jets, and 5,680 personnel. Although the carrier was deployed to the Gulf region at the end of January, it had not appeared in satellite imagery until now. According to the latest information, the vessel is currently near the coast of Oman, approximately 700 kilometers from Iran. Reports also indicate that the United States has dispatched the world’s largest warship, the USS Gerald R. Ford, toward the Middle East, where it could arrive within the next three weeks. The presence of the Abraham Lincoln further underscores that the U.S. has increased its military footprint in the Middle East in recent weeks. There has been a notable rise in the number of American destroyers, warships, and fighter jets in the region.
