Utrecht Memorial Protest for Gazas Children - NLD

A woman stands and looks over rows of children’s shoes in Utrecht, the Netherlands on August 24, 2025. Dutch activist group Plant een Olijfboom marked a grim milestone by laying out thousands of children’s shoes in remembrance of the young lives lost in Gaza. Activists read aloud the names and ages of 19,000 children killed, a process that lasted nearly six hours. According to The Lancet, the current death toll in Gaza is likely a conservative estimate, with experts predicting that the final toll could reach into the hundreds of thousands.

Workers transport a well-drilling rig at the site of Owainat Water Well Project in the desert of New Valley Governorate, Egypt, on May 3, 2025. Over 1,300 kilometers away from the capital Cairo, a sea of ripe wheat, rippling in the breeze, are waiting to be harvested in a desert. "It used to be an arid desert here and the well-drilling teams have turned it into farmland," said Mohamed Gabar, a worker with the Owainat Water Well Project operated by ZPEC (China's Zhongman Petroleum and Natural Gas Group Corp., Ltd.) branch in Egypt. The project, located in southern desert of New Valley Governorate, is part of the country's efforts to accelerate its desert reclamation initiatives since 2015. At the project site, six towering rigs are drilling deep into the desert in search of groundwater.

This photo taken on May 3, 2025 shows makeshift rooms for workers at the site of Owainat Water Well Project in the desert of New Valley Governorate, Egypt. Over 1,300 kilometers away from the capital Cairo, a sea of ripe wheat, rippling in the breeze, are waiting to be harvested in a desert. "It used to be an arid desert here and the well-drilling teams have turned it into farmland," said Mohamed Gabar, a worker with the Owainat Water Well Project operated by ZPEC (China's Zhongman Petroleum and Natural Gas Group Corp., Ltd.) branch in Egypt. The project, located in southern desert of New Valley Governorate, is part of the country's efforts to accelerate its desert reclamation initiatives since 2015. At the project site, six towering rigs are drilling deep into the desert in search of groundwater. "There are six well-drilling teams, comprising over 130 employees from China and Egypt," said the project manager Zhao Baojiang. The rigs operate 24 hours a day, with workers rotating in two shifts, he introduced. I

A Cloud Shuttle To The School - China

An aerial drone photo taken on February 23, 2025 shows a sightseeing elevator and a cable car system of a scenic spot at Nizhu River in Puli Township, Xuanwei City, southwest China's Yunnan Province.

What sets them apart from other students is their mode of transportation. Nizhuhe Village is a small hamlet nestled in a deep valley carved by the Nizhu River meandering from south to north.

A local scenic area along the Nizhu River was officially completed and began operations. A 268-meter-high sightse
