Jordan - The Dead and the Red Sea

In September of 2002, Jordan and Israel agreed to pump water into the Dead Sea from the Red Sea.  The water level of the Dead Sea has been dropping for many years.  It dropped from 1,280 feet to minus 1425 feet as of last year. 
The drop in the water has affected construction, agriculture, extraction of minerals, beaches and more.  Jordan is one of the top 10 countries in the world that are faced with water scarcity
The people are still waiting for the government to implement their agreement.

God's Care

In Paris, an 18-month-old baby boy, who was left in an apartment with his three-year-old sister while their parents went for a stroll, fell out of a window. The baby fell from the eighth floor. He fell through the window, bounced off the awning of a restaurant and landed in the arms of someone who was walking by. The baby did not seem to have suffered any physical injury. Wow!  Thank the Lord.

Maldives - Rejoins

In 1982, Maldives joined the Commonwealth. However, in 2016, the country left it, which was in response to the Commonwealth’s suspension warning. The Maldives’ government claimed that the Commonwealth “sought to become an active participant in the Maldives' domestic political discourse, which is contrary to the principles of the charters of the UN and the Commonwealth.” Then, on the 1st February 2020, under the Ibrahim Mohamed Solih government, the country rejoined the Commonwealth.  Note: The Commonwealth https://thecommonwealth.org/our-member-countries/maldives
