WAR IS BAD: 5 month old child dies from hunger due to war(SHOCKING PHOTOS)

Malnutrition could be this bad! So it was in the life of 5 month old Udai Faisal who died from extreme hunger and malnutrition as a result of the war in Yemen. With his cheeks sunk into his skull, limbs like twigs and his eyes dry, the picture shows the shocking negative effects malnutrition has had on the young children growing up in war-torn Yemen.

His mother Intissar Hezzam said:

‘He didn’t cry and there were no tears, just stiff. I screamed and fainted.’

The day Udai was born, warplanes from the Saudi-led coalition were striking an army base used by Houthi rebels in their district of Hazyaz, a shantytown on the southern edge of Sanaa. Shrapnel hit their one-bedroom house where Udai’s mother was in labor. ‘She was screaming and delivering the baby while the bombardment was rocking the place,’ the father said.

Hezzam breastfed her newborn son for about 20 days, but then her milk stopped, likely from her own malnutrition. His family lives off the pension that Udai’s father, Faisal Ahmed, gets as a former soldier, about £140 a month for him, his wife and nine other children ranging from 2 years old to 16.

He used to sometimes work construction, but they lost those jobs in the war. With food prices rising and supplies sporadic, the family eats once a day, usually yoghurt and bread, peas on a good day, said Udai’s parents.

The family turned to formula to feed Udai, but it wasn’t always available and they couldn’t always afford it. So every few days, Udai got formula and the other days he would get sugar and water. Three months after being born Udai was suffering from diarrhea, severe malnutrition and a chest infection, he was rushed to the hospital but they didn't have food and drug supplies and even the ones they did, the family couldn't afford it.

He was taken to the emergency section at al-Sabeen Hospital on the 20th of March and was fed through the nose , but days after the family lost hope and took him home to die. Just 3 hours upon leaving the hospital, the poor child died and now the father blames the government for the death of his son.

BOXING: 'Not a fair question' Chris Eubank Jr says when asked to choose between British title and health of boxer he knocked down

British boxer Chris Eubank Jr refused to answer a journalist who asked him to choose between the British boxing title and Nick Blackwell's health. Nick Blackwell is currently in a state of coma after he was rushed to hospital following severe bruises to the brain from boxer Chris Eubank Jr's punches on Saturday night.

Eubank Jnr and his father/manager, Chris Eubank Snr, held a press conference on Tuesday where Channel 4's Matt Frei asked Eubank Jnr:

 'If you had the choice of having Nick Blackwell in perfect health - he didn't have to be in an induced coma - or holding on to your belt, what would it be?'

The boxer replied:

'That's not a fair question, I'm not going to answer that. This is my life, I'm in there to do a job. I don't wish any harm on anybody outside the ring and I wish him a full recovery.'

Frei, 52, had earlier riled Eubank Snr when he asked:

'If it's about winning; is this advice you gave to your son giving him mixed messages; is it confusing?'

Eubank Snr replied: 'Your line of questioning is not conducive to a good interview.'
Frei: 'Why?'

Eubank Snr: 'It just isn't; it's not going anywhere. You're asking me...'

Frei: 'What's wrong with the line of questioning?'

Eubank Snr: 'It's unfair.'

Frei: 'Why is it unfair?'

Eubank Snr:

'The objective is to score your points. If anything, this fight wasn't an exception in that I gave him this advice, it's a rule of thumb. If you don't need to land shots to the head, then don't. It was a command I gave him in telling him to go to the body. I walked back and left him to it and he has to make the decision.'

When Eubank Jnr was in the corner after the eighth round at Wembley Arena, TV cameras caught his father saying:

'If the referee doesn't stop it, then I don't know what to tell you, but I will tell you this: one, if he doesn't stop it and we keep on beating him like this, he is getting hurt; two, if it goes to a decision, why didn't the referee stop the fight? I don't get why. 

So maybe you shouldn't leave it to the referee. So you're not going to take him out to the face, you're going to take him out to the body.'
Chris Eubank Jr said, 'I'm glad the doctor stopped the fight because the referee wasn't going to. I was playing.

His father, whose fight against Michael Watson in 1991 ended in with his opponent in a coma and requiring six brain operations, added:

 'Even in sparring, I tell Junior to stay away from the head because his punching is fast, powerful and dangerous. So most certainly I was saying this to protect the fighter. He had the fight won. This is a dangerous sport and we are real.' 

No celebration by Team Eubank has happened and will not happen until Nick makes a full recovery, and I mean full recovery.'

ADELE CONFESSES TO HAVING FACIAL HAIR...

Days after popular singer Adele revealed she has a beard that she just cropped out and that she started growing facial hair while pregnant, other brave ladies with the same condition have decided to ditch their insecurities and embrace their facial follicles.
Adele, confessed to gig-goers in Glasgow that she has a beard, she said:

“I actually have a beard, but I’m proud of it. I only cropped it last night. I call it Larry.” Her confession has been applauded by others who have had struggles with their stubble.

PICS AFTER THE CUT

Thereafter, three women who sport impressive beards came out with their own stories. In a interview with Diana Appleyard  they revealed more about the condition:

Mariam Mitbart, from Bath, writes a blog that celebrates female facial hair and has appeared as a bearded lady in a circus. She is single and has a 31-year-old son. Mariam, 51, says:

I feel more sexy and womanly now. Like Adele, my facial hair began growing after the birth of my son because of the hormones released in pregnancy.

My doctor at the time told me that it happens to a lot of women and that my facial hair would stop growing, but it hasn’t.

At first, I was horrified and I used to pluck the hairs on my chin every day. But after nearly 20 years of doing that my chin was very red and some of the hairs had become in-grown.

I looked as if I had fallen over and landed on my chin. I tried electrolysis three times, but each time the hairs grew back. So eight years ago I decided I’d had enough of continually plucking and let the beard grow.

I started a blog telling other women about my condition. At first, I was scared that no one would talk to me any more, and my mother said to me, “Do you have to shock people like this?”

 Admin assistant Sarah Taylor has struggled with facial hair issues since she was 18. She lives in Aylesbury, Bucks, with her fiancé Tom, 26, a builder. Sarah, 24, says:

I feel like half-man, half-woman, it’s hard. Having facial hair is so difficult as a woman  so thank goodness Adele has approached the subject with such openness. It may seem like a joke to some, but having a superstar speak about having a beard will make a big difference to so many women who beat themselves up about their facial hair. I started growing stubble when I was 18 and it has had a massive impact on my life.

My fiancé is extremely supportive but I always carry a razor in my handbag and, if I feel I look a bit stubbly, I will quickly shave. I normally shave every two or three days, and I have also tried waxing. I’d like to try laser hair removal but I think it would be very expensive.

Like many women with facial hair I have polycystic ovary syndrome, which will also make becoming pregnant difficult if not impossible. Coming to terms with that was hard enough, but growing facial hair made it ten times worse. At first I had faint stubble, then the problem escalated. Growing a beard made me feel terrible. My friends were very supportive, but I felt so self-conscious about people staring in the street. My little brother, who was only four at the time, said: “Why do you have hair on your face?”

I feel as if I’m half-man, half-woman, which is hard. I smother my top lip and chin with make-up, but still feel people can see the hair. I could bleach it, but it wouldn’t affect the hair growth.

 Harnaam Kaur is a body positivity campaigner from Slough, Berkshire. She had facial hair as a child and was bullied. Single Harnaam, 25, says:

The joke is now on those cruel bullies. I was just 11 years old when my beard started to grow and the hair quickly spread to my chest and arms. My condition made me the victim of bullies at school and on the streets — I’d be called “beardo”, “shemale” or “sheman”. The taunts were so bad I didn’t want to go out and I used to lock myself away in my bedroom.

I was so depressed about my facial hair I started to self-harm, and there were times when I felt that I could not go on living. I used to try to shave, wax or bleach the hair but that just made it worse. I used to talk to people with my hand over my chin, and I wore baggy clothes to cover up my arms. But when I was 16 I was baptised as a Sikh and, at that point, I decided that I was going to embrace my beard and let it grow with pride.

I had been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, which basically means your hormones go haywire and I had too much testosterone. I feel I have never looked back since that point and the joke is now on the bullies who were so cruel to me, because my beard has given me opportunities I would not otherwise have had. This is the way that God has made me and I am so glad that Adele has treated this issue so openly, with honesty and humour. I feel more feminine and sexy now that I have let my beard grow.

At first my parents were worried for me, thinking that I wouldn’t be able to get a job or ever get married, but now they and my brother are fully supportive.

If people stare at me in the street, I just smile right back at them and if anyone shouts, “Oi, where did you get that beard?” I reply, “Asda.” I’ve recently taken part in a fashion show and I was so proud on the catwalk. I love fashion, dressing up and getting my nails done.

'Mariah, I need your help. Please don't abandon me.' -Dying sister of Mariah Carey begs

Mariah Carey's sister Alison Carey has begged her to put aside their differences and help save her life in a new video taken at her hospital bedside. In a video released by  Daily Mail, the former drug addict, who is also HIV positive said;

‘Mariah I love you, and I desperately need your help, please don’t abandon me like this.’

Alison awaits brain and spine surgery and if she pulls through, faces years of physical rehabilitation and according to Mariah Carey's brother, Morgan, Alison was institutionalized for observation after being found wandering in the street barefoot and partially dressed.

Alison once revealed she went into prostitution to feed and take care of Mariah and her siblings before Mariah found fame and wealth.

Morgan hopes Mariah who has an estimated net worth of $510 million and is engaged to Australian billionaire James Packer, will come help them.

Morgan, 55, wanted to prove Alison was lucid and had her faculties about her.

In the short clip the penniless former prostitute is spaced out  and slurring her words as brother Morgan asks for her permission to have the order lifted.
Morgan says: ‘Alison, look at me, you’re Alison Carey, are you Alison Carey?’ She responds: ‘Yes’.
Morgan continues: ‘Today is September 15, 2015?’
‘Yes’, she replied.
‘[Redacted]  signed a “do not resuscitate”…do you want to revoke that order?’
Morgan asked the question three times and she responded, ‘I do’, each time.
Morgan added : 'The worst is yet to come and Mariah has it in her power to at least ensure a soft landing and avoid a life time of regret about missing this opportunity to forgive and help her only sister.'
‘I would be hopeful, although I am not encouraged by the past, that Mariah would step up because she’s in a position to step up.
‘We’re talking about small change to these people, her fiancé is a billionaire.
‘The least they could do is put Alison in a good hospital and make sure she gets the care she needs.
‘Mariah is the one person in the family who could actually make a real meaningful difference to Alison’s life.’
‘It was painful for her to speak, you could hear the raspiness in her breath, she had had a tube down her throat for so long.
‘She looked like she had been beaten down by this whole experience, her eyes were foggy, her skin jaundice and she had very little motor control.
‘Every effort, every movement was very labored and painful and difficult , but she was very much alive.
‘I wanted to be able to prove that she was lucid, that she understood who she was, where she was, what was going on around her.
