The Dhaka Times Desk 1,000 USAID workers have signed a letter demanding an immediate ceasefire in the besieged Gaza.
These activists also sharply criticized Washington's war policy and US arms support in support of Israel. In the letter, they also denounced US support for Israel's military operations in Gaza.
The letter was sent to USAID's domestic and foreign branches last week. Then on Wednesday (November 8) the company received a letter signed by 1,000 workers.
In the letter, they called for urgent humanitarian assistance in Gaza, saying that 'the organization has been working tirelessly for years to provide emergency services as well as a cessation of hostilities. In that case, we must all remember that no human being is deprived of humanitarian assistance and life-saving assistance. US support for Israel's escalating and indiscriminate bombing of Gaza since October 7 has also called into question US foreign development and humanitarian aid.'
Previously, on October 20, 60 Hollywood stars, including Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix and comedian John Stewart, also demanded a cease-fire in Gaza to US President Joe Biden in a written message.
In the letter, they wrote that, 'I also request your administration and all world leaders to respect the lives of all the people of this holy land. Take measures to stop the war quickly without wasting time. Stop the bombing of Gaza and secure the release of the prisoners. We were silent on this incident. But now I realize that we do not want to give this message to the future generation.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
