Najwa Gadaheldam, a senior adviser to Sudan's leader, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, died Wednesday, about 24 hours after the plane that had intended to transport her back to Israel for treatment landed in the Arab country.

“PTSD affects individuals in many different ways,” said Dr. Juan-Carlos Zuberbuhler, a psychiatrist with Kaiser Permanente Southern California.
Dr. Zuberbuhler, who practices at Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center, noted the simplest triggers can make someone with PTSD feel like their nervous system becomes hijacked by a panic reaction, and that can cause you to fight (get angry), flight (avoid) or freeze (feel numb).
According to Dr. Zuberbuhler, doing the following may improve a person’s path to recovery from PTSD:
Because there are times when PTSD can cause severe anxiety and other mental health challenges,

Chappelle poignantly explained how the image of Floyd calling for his deceased mother and pleading for his life is seared into his and the nation’s wounded psyche.
Chappelle also took on NRA, as well as Candace Owens, a Black right-wing media personality who brought up Floyd’s troubled past to criticize the Black community for making him a “martyr.”
We didn’t choose [Floyd]— you did,” Chappelle shot back.
Owens replied to Chappelle’s criticism on Twitter by saying that, unlike people on the “left,” she has a sense of humor and can take a joke.
Although Chappelle couched his comments in humor, the basis of his sharp rebuke—that Floyd’s humanity is worthy of justice regardless of his past—was not a joke.

The lockdown measures have increased the risk of children becoming victims of domestic violence, bullying and other forms of abuse.
The situation of some children has been made worse due to violence from the adults with whom they are locked down at home.
Children are assaulted both physically and psychologically during this lockdown more than any other period, mostly by adults who are not able to handle their own lockdown emotional stress.
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown has brought about a serious crisis in the protection and rights of children.
The worst still is that the adults that children look up to for answers to the so many questions going on in their heads are the ones who are the sources of the abuse, thereby adding to their woes.

Shortly after members of the California legislature took a knee for eight minutes and 46 seconds at the California Capitol to protest racism and the death of George Floyd, Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) took the opportunity to call out some of her Latino colleagues.
“I have to be honest, I’m disappointed with our Latino caucus,” Gonzalez said at the event that Assemblymember Syndey Kamlager (D-Los Angeles), a member of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC), organized.
Gonzalez said although some of the California Legislative Latino Caucus (CLLC) members have co-authored pieces of legislation with Black Caucus members, they have not been supportive enough of policy that can make a measurable difference in the lives of Black Californians.
“As a caucus, we’ve been woefully silent on some of the issues that the Black caucus has put out there on police reform,” continued Gonzalez, who is chair of the Latino caucus.
The protest-slash-tribute took place in front of the California state Capitol’s West steps to honor the late George Floyd, who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer who pinned the unarmed Black man down during an arrest.
