What condition does Lana, the 8-year-old daughter in the Abu Jarad family, struggle with most while living in displacement camps in Gaza?
Emotional and psychological strain due to constant displacementLana, an 8-year-old Palestinian girl from the Abu Jarad family, has spent nearly two years in constant displacement since the war escalated in Gaza after October 7, 2023. Having fled their home multiple times—now uprooted for the 11th time—her parents worry deeply about her emotional well-being. Unlike her older sisters, who experienced normalcy before the war, Lana is developing awareness amidst bombardment, tent life, and loss of education. She briefly attended school in Gaza City for three days before another evacuation order forced the family south. Simple discomforts like using makeshift bathrooms or inability to sit comfortably while reading affect her profoundly, reflecting the deep psychological toll of prolonged conflict on children. Her stoic claim 'I will not cry' reveals suppressed trauma, emblematic of a generation growing up in crisis.

Why did Pakistan skipper Salman Agha express concern after their 41-run win against UAE in the Asia Cup group stage?
Middle-order batting performancePakistan captain Salman Agha acknowledged that while the team secured a 41-run victory over UAE, their middle-order batting remains a significant concern. Except for Fakhar Zaman’s 50 off 36 balls, the top and middle batters failed to build substantial partnerships, leaving Pakistan at 146 for nine. Agha admitted they are still struggling to reach competitive totals and need better performances in the middle overs to push past 170 runs consistently. Despite the win, he stressed the importance of improvement ahead of crucial Super 4 matches, including the upcoming clash with India. The bowling unit performed well, but batting frailties remain a worry.
