The project involves work to improve drainage, irrigation and access, but it has been met with opposition from farmers who say it might do more harm than good. Farmers who have worked the land for years say they worry about pollution from construction work, and have accused the government of clearing their fields without enough notice. But the government says it will be providing training in new farming techniques and other support that will help farmers increase their yields.

Experts say the major reason behind the trafficking of women is gender imbalance sparked by the country’s previous one-child policy, which has led to parents favouring boys over girls. Many of the abducted girls or women remain missing despite a government pledge to severely crack down on child trafficking. Among the parents still looking for their missing children is Beijing resident Yau Fuji, who has vowed to continue a 15-year search for his daughter, who went missing when she was just 14 years old.

One of Europe’s largest metal mills, the plant produced over 4 million tonnes (4.4 million tons) of steel annually before Russia’s invasion.

Among the 48 wounded and elderly patients on board was electrician Evhen Perepelytsai, who lost a leg during shelling of his hometown of Hirske in the Luhansk region. The train evacuation was the first from the east since a Russian strike killed 57 people at a railway station in Kramatorsk on April 8. Ukrainian authorities have urged civilians in the east of the country to flee westwards amid fear of a renewed assault by Russian troops.

Clinical waste refers to potentially harmful substances generated by clinics, hospitals and laboratories, including used syringes and body tissue. They cannot be recycled and must be incinerated or buried in a landfill due to their potential health risks. Heavy reliance on single-use food containers and Covid-19 rapid test kits have also contributed to the rising level of wastes, some of which are now buried in a landfill in the New Territories.
