<keyword id="19919396" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tripura" source="keywords">Tripura</keyword> is presently facing a surging <keyword id="22356081" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="HIV-epidemic" source="keywords">HIV epidemic</keyword> ripping through its student population. Fueled by <keyword id="22349851" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="injectable-drug-use" source="keywords">injectable drug use</keyword>, this crisis has infected at least 828 students and tragically claimed the lives of 47. The situation stretches across 220 schools and 24 colleges, highlighting the alarming ease of transmission. Officials from the Tripura State AIDS Control Society (TSACS) paint a grim picture. New cases are detected daily, with estimates ranging from five to seven. This data, meticulously collected from 164 health facilities across the state, offers a comprehensive view of the outbreak's geographic and demographic reach. The crisis appears to be disproportionately impacting students from affluent families. Often, both parents hold government jobs, possibly indicating higher disposable incomes. However, officials think that this dynamic can delay the detection of drug use and HIV infection, hindering early intervention, as per TOI. While this news may come as a surprise to many outside the northeast, the region has actually been battling a drug problem for several years now, which has sparked a concerning shift in its HIV epidemic. <h2>The growing threat of injectable drug use </h2>As of November 2023, Tripura had over 5,200 active HIV/AIDS cases. While sexual transmission had dipped below 2% as of last year, injectable drug use among students became the primary mode of transmission of the deadly disease. In just a few years, injectable drug use has skyrocketed to a staggering 95% among students aged 14-20. This surge is attributed to the easy availability of injectable drugs, leaving students particularly vulnerable. The statistics paint a bleak picture. As of July 2023, Tripura has witnessed a 300% increase in AIDS patients over the previous decade, TOI reported. The report further stated that injectable drug users were estimated to be 43 times more likely to contract HIV compared to the general adult population. This issue is particularly concerning in northeastern states like Tripura, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Manipur. HIV cases have seen a dramatic rise. From a mere 11 in 2015-16, the number jumped to 757 in 2022 alone. And just over six months into 2024, the state has already seen over 800 HIV cases among students due to drug use. However, experts do point to increased surveillance, awareness and better screening are also contributing to an increased number of cases being reported in recent years. Experts warn that this trend indicates a potential full-blown epidemic. Curbing it requires extensive counselling and mass testing among vulnerable youth. However, obtaining prior consent for testing creates a significant hurdle. The <keyword id="174281" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tripura-government" source="Orion">Tripura government</keyword> is actively seeking solutions. Amending the law to allow mandatory HIV testing under specific circumstances is being explored. Additionally, the focus remains on strengthening existing strategies to combat HIV/AIDS. Tripura's Chief Minister has pointed a finger at foreign nations such as Myanmar, accusing them of fueling the illegal drug trade in the state. He has vowed to crack down on drug traffickers, highlighting Tripura's position as the leading drug seizure state in the Northeast. With the recent surge in the state’s HIV cases, Tripura's fight against AIDS has entered a new chapter. Addressing the rising IDU trend among students is crucial to prevent a further escalation of the epidemic. Through a combination of stricter regulations, targeted interventions, and increased awareness, Tripura can hope to control this public health challenge.

The decision to fire on the second and third car, also assuming that those passengers were armed, was against the military's open-fire engagement procedure, the publication added."This was against the rules of engagement," General Har-Even said, according to The Times.The military said it had been a "grave mistake" resulting from a "serious failure due to mistaken identification, errors in decision-making, and an attack contrary to the Standard Operating Procedures," The Times reported."It's a tragedy," Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the Israeli military's chief spokesman, said during a media briefing on Thursday. "It's a serious event that we're responsible for, and it shouldn't have happened."Two Israeli officers have been dismissed over the incident. In addition, the head of Israel's southern command and two other senior officers have been reprimanded.The <a target="_blank" href="https://wck.org/news/honoring-gaza-team">aid workers</a> killed were named as Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha, 25, from Palestine, Lalzawmi Frankcom, 34, from Australia, Damian Soból, 35, from Poland, Jacob Flickinger, 33, a dual US/Canada citizen, John Chapman, 57, James Henderson, 33, and James Kirby, 47, all from the UK.<div type="image" title="Members of the public join a walking vigil for aid worker James Henderson" height="1386" width="1848" msid="109072306" hostid="261" sizebytes="151596"></div>"Their smiles, laughter, and voices are forever embedded in our memories. And we have countless memories of them giving their best selves to the world. We are reeling from our loss. The world's loss," Erin Gore, CEO, said in a tribute on the organization's website.Representatives for WCK called for an independent investigation into the deaths in an online <a target="_blank" href="https://wck.org/en-us/news/idf-investigation">statement</a> shared on Thursday."We have asked the governments of Australia, Canada, the United States of America, Poland, and the United Kingdom to join us in demanding an independent, third-party investigation into these attacks, including whether they were carried out intentionally or otherwise violated international law," the statement said."It's not enough to simply try to avoid further humanitarian deaths, which have now approached close to 200," WCK founder <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gaza-aid-workers-idf-israeli-attack-world-central-kitchen-andres-2024-4">José Andrés </a>said in a separate <a target="_blank" href="https://wck.org/news/preliminary-investigation">statement</a> on Friday."All civilians need to be protected, and all innocent people in Gaza need to be fed and safe.

President Joe Biden <a target="_blank" href=" https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-threatens-us-support-for-israel-in-netanyahu-call-2024-4">spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin</a> Netanyahu over the phone on Thursday, their first conversation since the death of the aid workers."President Biden emphasized that the strikes on humanitarian workers and the overall humanitarian situation are unacceptable," the White House said in a statement after the call."He made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers. He made clear that US policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel's immediate action on these steps."It was the clearest signal yet that Biden would cut military or diplomatic support for Israel if Netanyahu didn't act to protect civilians.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Lifelong New York activist Shatzi Weisberger is refusing to let age, curfew, or nosy neighbors discourage her from fighting for what she believes in.</li><li>As a young adult, she fought racist <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-redlining-kept-black-americans-from-homeownership-and-still-does-2020-6">redlining</a> practices that prevented Black people from homeownership; in her career as a nurse, she provided in-home care to those affected by the <keyword id="19472" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="aids">AIDS</keyword> epidemic in the 1980s. </li><li>Recently, Weisberger attended <keyword id="6354896" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="protests">protests</keyword> throughout Manhattan and broke curfew in civil disobedience in support of the <keyword id="2771111" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="black-lives-matter">Black Lives Matter</keyword> movement. </li></ul>Today, Shatzi Weisberger turns 90.She gets impatient when people tell her she shouldn't be demonstrating in the streets. An acquaintance, watching <keyword id="6355005" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="news">news</keyword> coverage of Black Lives Matter protests, warned Weisberger to remain in her Manhattan apartment. "That was the moment that I decided to come out," she recounted, "Damnit. 'Stay at home and be safe'? I'm not going to worry about my safety. There's more important things happening."Neither COVID-19 nor the physicality of <keyword id="761056" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Activism">activism</keyword> deterred Weisberger. She's been on the front lines for most of her life — as a "Dyke Opposed to Nuclear Technology," a white ally, a voter registrar, and a nurse during the peak of AIDS-related deaths.<div type="image" title="Shatzi 2 Shatzi Weisberger" height="1391" width="1855" msid="76434761" hostid="261"></div>Her walker was flanked by Pride and Black Lives Matters Flags as she made her way through tuba players, TV news crews, and marching groups at the Washington Square Park protest on a recent Monday."This is not new," Weisberger said, recalling talk of race-based police brutality from her early days of organizing. "The police are a product of the society.... So it's not just that we need to reform the police. We need to reform society."<h2>Her first activism efforts were against the <keyword id="9419563" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="redlining">redlining</keyword> of suburban developments on Long Island.</h2>"This community had lovely houses that were very, very affordable, but only white people could buy them," she said. Her group sent families of color to the broker, who told them a deposit had already been made on the home they wanted. Weisberger followed, inquiring about the same house. She would be invited to make an offer.In recent civil disobedience during the Black Lives Matter protests, Weisberger broke curfew. At most demonstrations, she said, "There weren't any old people besides me. People are afraid to be around other people."Weisberger, a former nurse, acknowledges there is a risk, but insists the danger of outdoor transmission is small. She believes in the benefits of sunshine — on days she doesn't protest, she walks laps around her housing complex. Ever stubborn, she says people have called her "all sorts of names" for only wearing a mask when close to other people.<h2>Weisberger has lived through an epidemic before.</h2>She gave in-home care to those dying of AIDS during the 1980s in New York. Her words become sparse recalling a time when gay men were killed disproportionately. 'Sad' is her refrain. Patients were lost to a disease that was left unrecognized for years. "Now, everything is about the virus," she said, pointing out a contrast between the epidemics, "If somebody died and The New York Times wrote the official obituary, they did not say the person died of AIDS... and they didn't mention that they had a partner that lived with them for 40 years."<div type="image" title="Shatzi 3" height="1273" width="2093" msid="76434763" hostid="261"></div>Four or five years ago, Weisberger tended to her best friend at the end of her life. Then, Weisberger turned to death education, which she describes as "invigorating, not sad." Before COVID-19, she hosted death cafés and threw a "fun-eral." Tomorrow, her monthly conversation about dying will be online.She never felt obligated to be an activist, but does feel obligated to share what she's learned. Death is not something she eagerly anticipates, but she is gratified her remains will foster "Maybe flowers, maybe weeds, maybe a tree – whatever, it's going to bring life into the world. That appeals to me."<div type="image" title="Shatzi JVP 3 Shatzi Weisberger" height="2048" width="1536" msid="76434765" hostid="261"></div>For all her activism, Weisberger does not dwell. She was a member of Dykes Opposed to Nuclear Technology in the 1970s. "When <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-happened-three-mile-island-worst-us-nuclear-disaster-2019-8">Three Mile Island</a> happened, it was part of the mainstream," she explained, "I didn't feel the need to do it, because it was becoming quite popular."Despite the recent Supreme Court decision regarding workplace <keyword id="43748" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="discrimination">discrimination</keyword> against people based on gender or sexual orientation, Weisberger is not hugely celebratory. She's seen so much progress over her lifetime.For perspective, she said, "My mother was gay. She lived at a time when it was a crime."Weisberger describes living in a small apartment with her mother and her partner of 47 years. "It was such an absolute secret... I never, ever, one time, never saw them touch or look at each other in any way that would confirm that that was their relationship. It was so hidden."<div type="image" title="Shatzi Weisberger by Anna Leah" height="1650" width="2200" msid="76434767" hostid="261"></div>Now, thousands throng in front of the Brooklyn Museum to support Black trans rights. On June 24, it will be nine years since New York passed the Marriage Equality Act.Long before, Weisberger wedded herself to fighting disease, injustice, and fear of death. Among the many charms around her neck is a silver battle-ax inscribed with 'Chai', the Hebrew word for life.

And it has been the number one killer in the United States since 1921.Before then pneumonia and tuberculosis often grappled for the top spot.But as we developed better treatments for infectious diseases in the early 20th century, people began to live longer- even with the deadly 1918 H1N1 pandemic disrupting the trend the average <keyword id="14078" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="life-expectancy">life expectancy</keyword> in the US rose from around 47 to 60 years of age by 1930.This phenomenon-along with many other factors including lifestyle, diet, and changing industries-lead to an increase in cardiovascular disease which has constituted the most significant epidemic of the 20th century.Although heart disease has been number one for 100 years now, entirely new causes - such as Covid-19 have arrived.Which brings us to another thing that we know for sure: The way we die is always changing. Over the last 20 years in particular some major shifts have taken place in the world of medicine. Since the year 2000, Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia climbed from the 20th leading cause up to 7th in 2019,while HIV/AIDS has fallen from eighth to nineteenth in the same time frame.And in just the last 24 months a radical shift occurred that no one could have missed. Covid-19 ended the year 2020 as the third leading cause of death in the United States.Provisional data shows Covid-19 is currently the #1 leading cause in 2021 - displacing heart disease at the top of the list for the first time in a century.Technology, industry, and lifestyle also play large roles in shaping our deaths.In the Americas, drug-abuse-related deaths nearly tripled in the last two decades.Globally, diabetes has overtaken traffic accidents during that time as well.And one other technology-related cause of death may surprise you; between 2011 and 2017, selfie-related accidents killed five times more people than shark attacks globally.One strikingly positive change has been in infant mortality - around 1 million fewer infants died in the first months of life in 2019 than in 2000.Globally, the under-five mortality rate declined 59% between 1990 and 2020. But lower-income countries still experience far more under-five deaths than wealthier countries.The risk of dying before the fifth birthday is about 70 times higher for a child born in the highest-mortality country vs the lowest-mortality country.And this is where we begin to uncover perhaps the thing we can be most certain of. Where you are born goes a long way in determining how you will die-and how long you will live-largely by virtue of your country's relative wealth.The World Bank categorizes countries into four tiers of income groups: Low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high-income economies.low and lower-middle-income countries are still hit hard by diseases that wealthier countries have largely eliminated.For low income countries, diarrhoeal diseases, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS all among the leading causes of death, none of which appear in the top ten for countries in the high-income category.Upper-middle and high-income countries populations by contrast are more likely to die from non-communicable causes more commonly associated with longer life spans.And the difference in life spans between income groups could not be more clear: In 2019, the leading cause of death in low-income nations was neonatal conditions. That means complications at birth or in infancy that could not be overcome. For high-income countries, neonatal conditions once again placed outside of the top ten.But the wealth and health gap doesn't just exist between nations - it is also a clear divide within them.One study found that on average, the wealthiest American man lives 15 years longer than the poorest, while the wealthiest woman in the US lives 10 years longer.While in Ghana, a child born to one of the wealthiest families is three times more likely to live beyond five years of age than a child born to one of the poorest families.So while a quick glance at global <keyword id="66017" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Statistics">statistics</keyword> might make it seem as though it's where you are born that decides how long you will live, a deeper look suggests that your wealth has a big part to play.Which brings us to one final thing we know for sure about how we die, which is that we don't know everything. The first notable attempt to classify global causes of death was the International List of Causes of Death, introduced in 1893. In 1900 only 26 countries used this shared language. As of 1999, the tenth revision is distributed to 194 nations by The World Health Organization.This means global cause-of-death data dating before 1999 is largely incomplete - and even today's data has large gaps in availability.Of the 194 member states who receive the ICD-10 codes from the WHO, only 115 of them had any form of official vital statistics registry that recorded and reported those codes.The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimates that less than half the world's population has their birth and death recorded in a vital registration system. The poorest, the homeless, and other marginalized groups around the world are often under reported-leaving the causes and numbers of their deaths unknown.
