In the last few days, three miraculous rescues have occurred including a mother-son duo, a nine-year-old boy and a girl saved after several hours.&nbsp;

A mother and her newborn baby were rescued from the rubble of her quake-hit home twice a week. A paediatrician told BBC that Dima was treated for&nbsp;a lower limb injury, while her baby was in critical condition, suffering from severe dehydration and jaundice.

She was&nbsp;discharged from the hospital once again and is living in a tent along with her husband, Abdul Majid, and their nine nieces and nephews. She has been travelling to Afrin to visit her son Adnan&nbsp;in the hospital every day.&nbsp;

For the first time in almost a decade, the Sudanese court has sentenced three men to hand amputation for stealing. All three men in their 20s were convicted of stealing gas cylinders in Omdurman, Guardian reported.

Halting the transition to democracy, the verdict was handed down two weeks ago but came to light now, which will worry many in Sudan who fear sliding back into state extremism, almost 15 months after the military coup that established the country.

The three men were also sentenced to three years in prison for mischief and have been fined 2,000,000 Sudanese pounds ($3,538) as compensation for the theft.&nbsp;

For now, they have been taken to Koper prison in north Khartoum, where the sentence is yet to be carried out on an unspecified date.&nbsp;

The men's lawyer Samir Makeen said, "unfortunately, despite the political change in the country, nothing has changed in terms of the rights of the people, it was a change on the surface."

After the verdict was announced, the African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies in a statement accused the Sudanese authorities of not giving the three men a 'fair trial.'

It said, "without legal representation, [with the] failure of the court to explain to the accused the gravity and penalty of the offences and the reliance of court on the confessions as the only evidence to convict the accused”.

The Koper prison holds Omar al-Bashir, the former president of the country who was ousted in 2019 after a public uprising.

A new study by Lancet Planetary Health revealed that extreme heat, humidity and other climate changes have impacts on mental health in terms of depression and anxiety in Bangladesh. The study was published on February 05, Changing America reported.&nbsp;

Scientists at Georgetown&nbsp;University and colleagues at George Washington Univeristy and the World Bank in Bangladesh examined 43 weather stations across the world’s seventh most vulnerable country to climate change for humidity over a two-month period which experiences extreme flooding and cyclones.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/report-fires-heat-waves-cause-climate-anxiety-in-youth-488683">Also read |&nbsp;Report: Fires, heat waves cause 'climate anxiety' in youth</a>

Syed Shabab Wahid, the study’s lead author said, “we have now established a high-water mark that, alas, could soon be eclipsed for how climate can impact mental health in a highly vulnerable country. This should serve as a warning for other nations.”

The study showed that the overall prevalence of depression is 16.3 per cent, compared to the global rate of 4.4 per cent.&nbsp;

Anxiety rates were also higher in the country compared to the rest of the world, 6 per cent to 3.6 per cent respectively.&nbsp;

Wahid added that previous global research has found a link between climate-related phenomena and adverse mental health outcomes in terms of depression or anxiety.&nbsp;

Results also showed that individuals who experienced a one-degree Celsius temperature rise during the two months have a 21 per cent high probability of an anxiety disorder and a 24 per cent higher likelihood of co-occurring depression and anxiety.&nbsp;

“As climate change worsens, temperatures and humidity will continue to increase, as will natural disasters, such as extreme flooding, which portends worsening impact on our collective mental health, globally.”

However, scientists claimed that this research is not long enough to see major climate change impacts, and such studies can take years to show events linked to climate change can impact mental health outcomes.&nbsp;

Going forward, researchers claimed that by 2050, the temperature in Bangladesh is expected to increase by 1.4 degrees Celsius.
