By Dr. Sophie J. Balk, American Academy of PediatricsWarmer weather means more chances for kids to go outside to play, hike and enjoy the fresh air with family and friends. Warmer weather also means preventing insect bites.Biting insects such as mosquitoes and biting flies can make children miserable.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:14:24 GMT

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The United Nations World Food Program is slowly resuming food aid to Ethiopia nearly five months after taking the extraordinary measure of suspending aid to millions of people after the discovery of a massive scheme to steal donated grain. WFP said it’s testing small-scale distribution in some areas but acknowledges that the government still plays a role in the process.Critics of the aid suspension, including aid groups and health workers, have called it immoral and alleged that hundreds of people have died of hunger. The United States, however, says its own suspension of food aid to the East African country will continue while it negotiates with Ethiopia’s government for reforms of a system long controlled by local authorities.The pause has affected 20 million Ethiopians — 1/6 of the population — plus 800,000 refugees.In a written response Monday evening to questions, the WFP told The Associated Press that the agency has started distributing wheat to aro...
