Sept 1 - A #polio vaccination campaign in #Gaza is planned to begin on 1 September. We welcome the commitment to humanitarian pauses in specific areas, and suspension of evacuation orders for the implementation of the campaign. But the only lasting medicine is peace. The only way to fully protect all the children of Gaza is a ceasefire.

Sept 3 - Rome’s ancient Arch of Constantine damaged by lightning
Rome’s ancient Arch of Constantine was hit by lightning during a heavy storm, causing some fragments to fall off. The arch, built in 315 to celebrate the victory of Emperor Constantine in the battle of Ponte Milvio, was already undergoing maintenance work, which had begun on Monday. Standing about 25 metres high, it is the largest of the three triumphal arches still preserved in Rome. It is located along the route followed by triumphal processions, near the Colosseum.
After a hot, dry summer, the centre of Rome was hit on Tuesday afternoon by a sudden storm, bringing heavy rain, high winds, thunder and lightning. More than 80 millimetres (3.1 inches) of rain per square metre fell on the historic centre — about the same amount that falls on average in a month in autumn, the municipality said. The “downburst” caused floods and winds of up to 90 kilometres per hour (56mph) that brought down trees
