The G7 Leaders Summit has commenced in Borgo Egnazia, Puglia, hosted by Italy. Leaders from the USA, Japan, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, the UK, and EU officials are attending. Notable guests include UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Pope Francis, and leaders from various countries, including President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Support for Ukraine, including using frozen Russian assets, tops the agenda.
In the shadow of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide, the Hatidza Mehemedovic Elderly Care Home in Bosnia and Herzegovina stands as a symbol of healing and dignity. Founded by the Emmaus Association, the center houses 35 elderly women—many survivors of the genocide—offering them private rooms, medical care, and emotional support.
Named after Hatidza Mehemedovic, a genocide survivor and lifelong advocate for justice, the home addresses the growing needs of aging mothers once cared for in isolation. In addition to living spaces, the center includes a health clinic open to all, staffed by young professionals who once grew up in Emmaus dormitories.
Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality Secretary-General Hayri Baraçlı, during his visit to the facility, said, “We are in Srebrenica, where a crime against humanity was committed. We remember our Muslim brothers and sisters with mercy. This massacre remains a grave lesson for the world.”
The care home continues to provide a safe and compassionate refuge, ensuring these mothers are not left to face old age alone.
