The Dhaka Times Desk An active-duty member of the US Air Force has set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington state. He did this to protest the Israeli attack on Gaza.
The concerned authorities said that this incident happened yesterday (Sunday) afternoon local time. The man was admitted to a local hospital in critical condition.
A US Air Force spokesman told news agency AFP that the man was an active duty member of the US Air Force. However, he did not give any details about this matter. The fire service said the man was in critical condition. An Israeli embassy spokesman said no one at the embassy was injured when the man set the body on fire. They don't even know that person.
Citing US media reports, AFP also reported that the man could be heard saying on US live video streaming Twitch that he no longer wanted to commit a crime like genocide. He then poured flammable liquid on his body and set himself on fire. He can be heard shouting, 'Free Palestine', until he falls to the ground. However, AFP could not immediately verify the authenticity of the footage. Citing the news of the New York Times, AFP said that the footage has been removed from Twitch.
According to Reuters, there have been a series of protests in front of the Israeli embassy in the United States since the start of the bloody war in Gaza, Palestine, last October. Both pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian sides have been protesting there.
It should be noted that about 30,000 people, including women and children, have lost their lives in the indiscriminate attacks of the last few months in Gaza. These data are from the Ministry of Health in Hamas-controlled Gaza. On the other hand, the Israeli government said that more than 1,200 people were killed in the October 7 attack. 253 people were taken hostage.

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
