International Committee of Red Cross warns of total collapse in Gaza
Severe power and fuel shortages have reached a critical point in Gaza
Gaza - Emirates Voice
Severe power and fuel shortages have reached a critical point in Gaza, endangering essential services including health care, waste-water treatment and water provision, the International Committee of the Red Cross, ICRC, said.
Without immediate intervention, the ICRC says, a public health and environment crisis is looming. Currently, people in Gaza only have power for six hours a day in most cases. All aspects of life in Gaza have been affected. As a result, a systemic collapse of an already battered infrastructure and economy is impending.
Due to the power shortages, wastewater treatment plants are no longer fully functional. Without treatment, wastewater, contaminated with faeces, gets pumped directly into the sea. This affects the public health of people in Gaza.

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.
