Crowds flee after riot police fire tear gas at protesters near the Tunisian Chemical Group's plants during a mass protest that brings together thousands of residents in Gabes, Tunisia, on October 15, 2025, to protest and demand the dismantling of the units of the Tunisian Chemical Group (GCT). The mobilization comes after a surge in cases of respiratory problems, poisonings, and illnesses affecting students at a middle school located near the phosphate processing plant, sparking anger among a population exposed to chemical risks for more than fifty years. In 2017, Tunisian authorities promise the gradual dismantling of the polluting units of the Gabes chemical complex following strong protests against pollution. However, this decision is never fully implemented, and the population continues to suffer from massive pollution.

A view of submerged houses on the outskirts of Srinagar, India, on Thursday, as rising waters engulf dozens of villages across the Himalayan Valley, displacing thousands and fueling fears of worsening conditions. Agricultural land lies underwater, homes are damaged, and families flee to higher ground. With road connectivity snapped and shops shuttered, stranded residents face severe shortages of essential supplies as transport services remain paralyzed. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issues a red alert, warning of heightened risks of landslides, flash floods, and further road blockages. The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway--the Valley's lifeline--is closed for the ninth consecutive day, deepening the crisis and cutting Kashmir off from vital supplies. Rescue teams begin evacuating vulnerable populations, but fear grips the region as memories of the devastating 2014 floods resurface. Adding to the tragedy, at least seven people die in a landslide in Himachal Pradesh, underscoring the wider human toll of extreme weather battering the Himalayan region.
