Does Tutankhamen's tomb hold his stepmother Queen Nefertiti's remains? New study offers tantalizing clues

When Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered over a century ago, it became an immediate worldwide sensation, revealing a wealth of treasures from ancient Egypt. In the decades that followed, the tomb was meticulously cleared, cataloged and studied, leading many to believe that KV 62, as it is officially known, had given up all its secrets. Yet long after its opening, the boy king's final resting place may still hold mysteries.

World: Locust Watch: Seasonal precipitation predictions in the Desert Locust summer and winter breeding areas (October 2026–March 2027) (20 September 2026)

Countries: World, Algeria, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, India, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia, Yemen Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Please refer to the attached file. The dynamical models indicate above-normal rainfall across most of northern and eastern Africa and the Middle East from October through December, consistent with previous strong El Niño episodes. Within this region, drier-than-normal conditions are expected to emerge across North Africa by December, but elsewhere the wet pattern is likely to persist through winter. The only notable change in the forecasts this month is that the predicted wet anomaly is somewhat less pronounced in East Africa, and the forecast has also turned drier for Yemen and Oman, because the positive phase of the Indian Ocean Dipole is struggling to become established, and a less positive IOD favors relatively drier conditions around the northwestern Indian Ocean during El Niño. Nevertheless, the pronounced El Niño forcing will remain the dominant (wet) influence. These rainfall patterns can support breeding in the northern Sahel through late summer breeding season. Small-scale breeding may begin in October along the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden coasts. Precipitation

WHO Egypt Flash Appeal 2026-2027 - Protracted Gaza crisis Beyond Borders: Mounting health & humanitarian pressure on Egypt (September 2026)

Countries: Egypt, occupied Palestinian territory Source: World Health Organization Please refer to the attached file. Overview The protracted crisis in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) continues to generate significant and sustained humanitarian and public health consequences for Egypt. This WHO Funding Appeal provides an overview of the current and anticipated health emergency situation in the country resulting from the ongoing conflict. As the primary operational hub for cross-border humanitarian assistance into Gaza, Egypt plays a critical role in facilitating the delivery of life-saving support to vulnerable populations, including women, children, older persons, and people with disabilities. In parallel, Egypt continues to receive medical evacuees from Gaza for specialized treatment within its national healthcare system or for stabilization prior to onward referral for medical evacuation abroad. Following the reopening of the Rafah border crossing on 2 February 2026, Egypt received the third wave of medical evacuees from Gaza. As the crisis remains protracted and the demand for medical evacuation persists, Egypt's healthcare system will continue to face sustained pressure, underscoring the need for continued international support to strengthen the national response. The current medevac wave is characterized by an increasing proportion of patients with complex trauma and severe injuries requiring multi-phase and prolonged treatment, including specialized surgery, intensive care, rehabilitation, and long-term follow-up. While Egypt's health system has continued to absorb these patients and provide essential care, the prolonged nature and high cost of treatment are placing additional demands on already stretched health resources and capacities.
