A commemoration of the 1948 'Nakba' (catastrophe) and a gathering against the Israeli onslaught in Gaza, deemed 'genocide' by the CPI and several NGOs such as Amnesty International, HRW, and PHR, takes place in Toulouse, France, on May 15, 2025. In more than 50 towns across France, participants read the names, surnames, and ages of more than 53,000 Gazans killed since October 7, 2023. They also read testimonies from Gaza: 'What we are experiencing now is even worse than the Nakba of 1948,' says Ahmed Hamad, a Palestinian in Gaza City who has been displaced several times. No humanitarian assistance has been delivered to Gaza since March 2, and a global hunger monitor warns that half a million people face starvation in Gaza.

A vehicle wades through a flooded section of road in Kathmandu, Nepal, on May 6, 2025, as it receives rainfall brought by a pre-monsoon climatic system. Like in 2024, Nepal is expected to experience above-normal monsoon rains for the second consecutive year, according to a regional consensus among South Asian meteorologists. Above-normal rains could lead to more disasters, including flash floods and landslides. A statement issued by the 31st Session of the South Asian Climate Outlook Forum on April 29 indicates that most parts of South Asia are expected to receive above-normal rainfall during the 2025 southwest monsoon season, which spans from June to September. Monsoon onset typically occurs on June 13 and withdraws by October 2. The World Bank's recent Nepal Development Update notes that severe floods and landslides from September 26 to 28, caused by unusually intense monsoon activity intensified by climate change, result in damage amounting to 0.8 percent of the GDP. The total damage is estimated at Rs46.7 billion, affecting infrastructure, agriculture, and social sectors. Agricultural losses alone reach Rs7.2 billion, with vast farmland submerged, crops destroyed, and many livestock lost.
