[6.3] UN reports over 500,000 stateless individuals gain citizenship in last decade — economictimes.indiatimes.com

The UN reported that over 565,900 stateless individuals gained citizenship in the past decade, following the launch of its #IBelong campaign in 2014. This campaign aimed to address the issue of statelessness, which affects millions worldwide.

Last year, the UNHCR identified 4.4 million stateless people, but noted that this figure only represents about half of the global situation. The campaign has seen improvements in rights for stateless individuals in 20 countries and laws preventing child statelessness in 13 countries.

As the campaign concludes, the UNHCR plans to hold a high-level meeting on statelessness and introduce a new Global Alliance to end the issue. Despite progress, many remain without nationality due to discrimination and legal flaws.

[6.1] Pakistan sees rise in polio cases as vaccination efforts ramp up — abcnews.go.com

Pakistan has reported a rise in polio cases, with 32 new infections since March. This increase poses challenges to the government's goal of eradicating the disease. Most cases are concentrated in the northwest and Balochistan province.

A nationwide anti-polio campaign is set to begin on October 28, aiming to vaccinate 32 million children. Officials are conducting investigations and preparing vaccination rounds to strengthen immunity in high-risk communities.

The recent surge follows a halt in vaccination efforts by the Taliban in Afghanistan, which could impact Pakistan's progress. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation continues to support Pakistan's anti-polio initiatives with a $1.2 billion commitment.
