World News in Brief: Afghanistan education, Myanmar flooding, Syria recovery, homecare workers in New York
- Women and girls in Afghanistan continue to face restrictions on education imposed by the Taliban, leading to a sense of hopelessness in some communities.
- The UN World Food Programme has launched an emergency response in Myanmar due to monsoon flooding that has affected over 32,000 people.
- In Syria, over three million people have returned home since December 2024, marking a critical point in the country's recovery after a decade of conflict.

Five years since the Taliban seized power in Kabul, life for some Afghans has improved while many others suffer growing hardship. The UN's aid coordination office spokesperson stated that the chief concern is the continuing ban on girls' education, which has left families feeling hopeless about their daughters' futures.
In Myanmar, the UN World Food Programme has begun distributing food assistance in response to monsoon flooding that has affected nearly 100 villages. The agency has dispatched 20 tons of fortified biscuits to provide immediate aid to 10,000 people, as the flooding exacerbates existing hunger issues in the region.
The UN refugee agency has reported that over three million Syrians have returned home since December 2024, indicating a significant moment for the country's recovery. The international community is urged to provide support to help stabilize the region and address the recovery needs of returning citizens.
In New York City, UN human rights experts have expressed serious concerns regarding the treatment of homecare workers, predominantly migrant women, who are reportedly required to work 24-hour shifts while receiving compensation for only 13 hours. This situation raises issues of exploitation and its disproportionate impact on migrant families.
