Somalia has long faced food insecurity because of climate shocks like drought. But aid groups and Somalis alike now fear a catastrophe.
“There’s something about this area that, it’s just compelling. The mountains. The green. It’s just beautiful,” she said. “It’ll definitely come back. And it won’t be the same; it’ll be better.”A truck drives down a nearly deserted Main Street in Chimney Rock Village, N.C., on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. (AP Photo/Allen G. Breed)

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — At least 31 people were killed and over 150 were wounded on Sunday while on their way to receive food in theHow Looney fares is “very precious experience,” said Dr. Tatsuo Kawai of Massachusetts General Hospital, who led the world’s
transplant last year and works with another pig developer, eGenesis.Looney was far healthier than the prior patients, Kawai noted, so her progress will help inform next attempts. “We have to learn from each other,” he said.
Looney donated a kidney to her mother in 1999. Later pregnancy complications caused high blood pressure that damaged her remaining kidney, which eventually failed, something incredibly rare among living donors. She spent eight years on dialysis before doctors concluded she’d likely never get a donated organ – she’d developed super-high levels of antibodies abnormally primed to attack another human kidney.So Looney, 53, sought out the pig experiment. No one knew how it would work in someone “highly sensitized” with those overactive antibodies.
