As leaders arrive in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, key Palestinian voices are missing. The US has refused visas for 80 Palestinian officials, including President Mahmoud Abbas.

In Haiti’s capital, doctors work under fire as armed groups close in. With most hospitals shut, Tabarre is one of the last still open. Patients bleed, burn, and beg for care while doctors risk all to treat them. Can Haiti’s wounded – and those who heal them – find a way to survive?

After the earthquake: what lies ahead for Afghanistan?

Hezbollah is under pressure to lay down its arms, as part of a US-backed plan. Lebanon’s government has asked the army to draft a proposal by the end of the year. Facing continued Israeli strikes and the aftermath of the assassination of much of its leadership, including Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah refuses to disarm, calling the effort a trap. With no trust and no guarantees, where will Lebanon go from here?

Shelters are filled to the brim on both sides of the US-Mexico border with people seeking asylum in the United States.

They are part of a wave of people making the dangerous trek through Central America. So, what do their journeys look like and why are they happening now?
