About 18,000 people trapped

New York - Arab Today
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday dispatched an envoy to Damascus for talks on the humanitarian crisis in the Yarmuk refugee camp, where starving refugees are trapped in fighting.
UN deputy envoy for Syria, Ramzy Ezzeldin Ramzy, was en route for Damascus while other UN officials were "in close conversations" with the Syrian government, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
Ban on Thursday issued a strong appeal for action to prevent a "massacre" in the camp after it was overrun by Daesh fighters on April 1.
About 18,000 people, mostly Palestinians, are trapped in fighting between Daesh jihadists, government forces and other rebel groups.
"What is unfolding in Yarmuk is unacceptable," Ban said ahead of a trip to Qatar where he is due to discuss the crisis.
"We simply cannot stand by and watch a massacre unfold."

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
