The Ophanim: Unraveling the Mystery of the Wheel Angels
The Ophanim: Unraveling the Mystery of the Wheel Angels When we picture an angel, we often envision a serene figure with magnificent wings, a gentle countenance, and a benevolent aura.

Famine Unfolding Across Gaza, Says Global Hunger Monitor
Global Hunger Monitor reports that famine is spreading throughout Gaza. According to a new report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global organization that monitors hunger, a humanitarian crisis is engulfing Gaza as famine conditions spread throughout the territory. For hundreds of thousands of civilians, widespread malnutrition, hunger, and starvation are now a dire reality, according to the report, which warns that large segments of the population in Gaza are experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity. The IPC, which classifies food insecurity into five phases—ranging from minimal to famine—has placed much of Gaza in Phase 5: Catastrophe/Famine. Extreme hunger, acute malnutrition, and excessive mortality are all indicators of this phase. The situation, the IPC notes, is unprecedented in modern history in terms of speed, scale, and severity.

Their leader, Hugues de Payens, presented their request to King Baldwin II, not seeking riches or titles, but something far more unusual.

Thailand vs Cambodia War
When Ancient Stones Became Grounds for Modern Guns In the heart of Southeast Asia, two countries—Thailand and Cambodia—share not only borders but centuries of cultural, religious, and political history.
