Dalai Lama Asserts Sole Authority Over Reincarnation Amid China’s Claims

In a landmark declaration just days before his 90th birthday, the Dalai Lama has reaffirmed that the centuries-old Tibetan Buddhist institution will continue after his death—and that his reincarnation will be determined solely by the Gaden Phodrang Trust , a foundation he established. This move directly challenges China’s long-standing assertion that it holds the final say in selecting the next Dalai Lama. Speaking in a pre-recorded message during a religious gathering in Dharamshala, India, the exiled spiritual leader stated that no external political power, including China, has any authority  to interfere in the reincarnation process. He emphasized that the search for his successor will follow traditional Tibetan Buddhist practices and be overseen by senior monks and spiritual advisors connected to the Trust.

Health Crisis in Gaza: Children Suffer Amid Overcrowded Camps

 

In the overcrowded tent camps of Gaza, a health crisis is unfolding as children suffer from a range of skin diseases. Health officials report a surge in cases of lice, scabies, and rashes, exacerbated by the dire living conditions. Over 103,000 cases of lice and scabies and 65,000 cases of skin rashes have been documented.

The root of the problem lies in the appalling conditions within the camps, which house hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced from their homes. The summer heat, combined with a collapse in sanitation, has created an environment ripe for disease. Pools of open sewage and a lack of clean water have left families struggling to maintain basic hygiene.

Parents describe the heartbreaking reality of watching their children suffer. “There’s no shampoo, no soap,” says Munira al-Nahhal, a resident of one of the camps. “The water is dirty. Everything is sand and insects and garbage.” Children are often seen scratching at red patches on their skin, with some developing open sores from constant irritation.

Efforts to combat the spread of these diseases are hampered by the lack of resources. Clean water is scarce, and many families resort to washing their children in salt water from the Mediterranean. The situation is further compounded by the ongoing conflict, which has left the region’s infrastructure in ruins.

As the crisis continues, the need for international aid and intervention becomes increasingly urgent. Without immediate action, the health and well-being of Gaza’s children remain at severe risk.
