Water deficit in southern Gaza Strip

   Ever since the Hamas attack, not only were there 1400 people killed, but ever since the attack, the gazans have been facing a water shortage.

  Every time Gazans need to use the toilet, the would have to queue up for hours and most of them also have not showered for days. Sadly, the country is also facing an electricity and food shortage. Foods the civilians can find sometimes are most commonly tuna fish and cheese, and food supplies the were lacking profusely faced a surge in prices.

  Some Gazans also fled to their relatives house nearby, only to find other families living in that particular house. The Gazans know that if they bathe, they would not have enough water to drink due to the water shortage. Many Gazans are very desperate for mainly water, but also food and electricity consecutively.

                       WRITERS THOUGHTS

I feel pity towards the Gazans as they do not have water, an essential resource needed by humans. It also saddens me that the Gazans also face food and electricity shortage and I hope that their situation can improve.

  Almost 10% of Singaporeans have a gene that puts them at a high risk of getting Parkinson’s disease, which is most commonly known in the form of disease that causes instability and uncontrolled movements. Although this sounds unpleasant to the ears, however, there is a simple way to reduce that risk.

  The solution is coffee, or even tea! Coffee plays a very important part in this as it helps reduce the risk of getting Parkinson’s by four to eight times in people! How amazing is that? Considering that PD is the most neurodegenerative disease in Singapore, finding a solution to it is a big achievement. Coffee is known to have a potential protective effect against PD, thus, drinking about up to 2 cups of coffee a day can help to greatly reduce the risk of getting PD.

  To dive deeper in the concept, we all know that coffee contains caffeine, which is the real magic. Aside from the effects that we all know about caffeine, did you know that consuming about 400ml of caffeine a day helps to maximise the chances of not getting PD. An experiment was conducted with people who drank different amounts of coffee a day, and it was found that consuming 400ml a day was the best. 

               WRITERS PERSONAL OPINION

  In my opinion, I think that it is really amazing how much of an impact just merely one cup of coffee does to our body! Although it saddens me how much of our population has risks of PD, I feel better knowing that there is a chance to combat PD! After reading this article, I might even consider taking coffee!
