When the future seems so frighteningly uncertain, many people are trying to prepare for the worst possible outcome by collecting foods that remain edible and nutritious for long periods of time. This list of the foods that practically never spoil will give you an idea of what to look for as you prepare to keep yourself and your family safe from any potential catastrophe.
Salt
It is no surprise that sodium chloride, a mineral we extract from the earth, is a permanent substance. Humans have leveraged salt’s moisture-removing abilities for many centuries to preserve food and even dead bodies.
However, the salt you keep in your cupboard may not last forever. Salt’s shelf life is greatly reduced if iodine is added. If you see a container with iodized salt, you can only expect it to last about five years.
Honey
Thanks to some fascinating chemistry and the brilliant work of bees, honey may be the only food that truly lasts forever. Bees mix the nectar from flowers with enzymes inside their bodies to create simple sugars. They develop a substance that’s inhospitable to bacteria—a liquid that is low in moisture and highly acidic. Although some see crystallized honey as a sign that the product has gone bad, crystallization is a sign of the honey’s purity. If the crystals bother you, just heat a jar of honey in hot water. The crystals will melt, and the honey will taste exactly the same.
White Rice
White rice will go bad eventually, but it will take a very long time. White rice has earned its place on this list of foods that practically never spoil because it will keep its nutritional content for over 30 years if it has been stored in an oxygen-free container. Brown rice does not last as long, and it goes bad in six months because it holds oils in its bran layer.
Dried Beans
Just like with rice, dried pinto beans are acceptable to eat even after 30 years. Their quality may have decreased, but they would still be considered edible and safe under emergency situations.
The war in Gaza led to a dire humanitarian condition, profoundly affecting the lives of its 2.2 million people – loss of life, property and desperate need of food, dignified shelter and medical care. More than 1.7 million Palestinians, forced to flee their homes in the north to seek refuge in the south, in addition to waves of displacement in the southern governorates, are living in makeshift tents or temporary shelters amidst heaps of uncollected waste, aggravating a looming environmental and public health crisis. The issue of solid waste management has become an urgent need in Gaza, requiring immediate support and solutions.

United Nations Video: Shakespeare at the UN: In Celebration of English Language Day 2024 at the United Nations
On 23 April 2024, in commemoration of the English Language Day 2024 at the United Nations, the UN Movie Society of the United Nations Staff Recreation Council will inaugurate the “Shakespeare at the UN”– an exploration of how the timeless works of Shakespeare, reflecting the human experience, may resonate with the core values of the UN, including promoting understanding of humanity and fostering global connections.
Celebrating the English language at the United Nations
English Language Day at the United Nations is celebrated on the 23rd of April — the date traditionally observed as both the birthday and date of death of William Shakespeare. As well as being the English language's most famous playwright, Shakespeare had a significant impact on modern-day English. Shakespeare's creativity with language meant he contributed hundreds of new words and phrases: 'gossip'; 'fashionable' and 'lonely' were all first used by Shakespeare. He also invented phrases like 'break the ice', 'faint-hearted' and 'love is blind'.
------------------------
Language days at the UN
English Language Day is the result of a 2010 initiative by the UN's Department of Global Communications, establishing language days for each of the Organization's six official languages. The purpose of the UN's language days is to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity, and to promote equal use of all six official languages throughout the Organization.
Under the initiative, UN duty stations around the world celebrate six separate days, each dedicated to one of the Organization's six official languages. With the goal of increasing awareness and respect for the history, culture and achievements of each of the six working languages among the UN community, Language Days at the UN aim to entertain, as well as to inform.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was established on 8 August 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand. With 10 member states, ASEAN stands today as a beacon of regional cooperation and integration.
In 2021, building upon its legacy of regional cooperation since 1967, ASEAN adopted Vision 2045, a strategic plan responding to evolving global trends and internal challenges. Extending beyond the ASEAN Community Vision 2025, it aims to intensify integration and enhance connectivity across economic and socio-cultural sectors. Vision 2045 addresses contemporary issues such as digital transformation, environmental sustainability, and socio-economic inequities.
The ASEAN Future Forum 2024, scheduled to take place in Hà Nội on April 23, is expected to provide a platform for stakeholders to contribute ideas and initiatives to shape ASEAN's future vision.

United Nations Video: Supporting UNRWA's Neutrality Efforts is an International Responsibility | UN Press Conference
Press Conference by Catherine Colonna, Chair of the Independent Review of United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
Catherine Colonna, who on Saturday submitted her Final Report as Chair of the Independent Review Group on the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), today (22 Apr) told reporters in New York that UNRWA has in place “a more developed system than other UN organisations or agencies” to ensure compliance with the humanitarian principle of neutrality.
Colonna pointed out that “there's always room for improvement and some issues related to neutrality persist.”
She stressed that the international community “has a responsibility in helping and supporting UNRWA in addressing neutrality issues.”
Among those issues, Colonna said, “UNRWA’S installations have been used for - misused, rather I should say - for political or military purposes, by various groups,” which is “undermining the neutrality of the installation.”
She recommended “preventive measures, enhanced monitoring of these violations, transparent reporting” in order to “address this issue effectively.”
The Chair of the Independent Review Group told reporters that “although UNRWA has made considerable progress in the past few years to mitigate the risk addressed to some content promoting hate or inciting violence, in the textbooks in the classroom, it now needs, now needs to implement, zero tolerance policy.”
She noted that “some of the content – marginal, but even if marginal - we write, is problematic.”
This includes, Colonna said, “glorification of jihad, incitation to violence, maps of the current world - not historical maps - not showing the existence of Israel, so many other problematic issues, with lots of examples.”
She added, “this is unfortunately a really well documented area.”
To conclude, Colonna said, “I'm confident that implementing these measures will help UNRWA in delivering on this mandate. I would, you know, strongly encourage again the international community to be side by side with the agency so it can perform its mission and overcome the challenges, when they are there.”
The Report, entitled “Independent review of mechanisms and procedures to ensure adherence by UNRWA to the humanitarian principle of neutrality" was produced with the help of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute, the Chr. Michelsen Institute, and the Danish Institute for Human Rights.
The Secretary-General accepted the recommendations contained in the report, and has agreed with Commissioner General, Philippe Lazzarini, that UNRWA, with the Secretary-General’s support, will establish an action plan to implement its recommendations.

BBC News Video: Trump in the Dock - Jury told of “criminal conspiracy” to pay hush money to porn star | BBC News
Prosecutors at the trial of Donald Trump in New York have told the jury he “orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election”.
The former President faces 34 counts of falsifying business records and trying to cover up a $130,000 payment to the porn actress Stormy Daniels.
It’s alleged Donald Trump was hoping to cover up evidence of affairs that might damage his election prospects. The prosecution described that as “pure election fraud”.
Donald Trump denies the charges. His defence argues he had no personal involvement in the payments and says none of the allegations amount to criminal behaviour.

ODN Video: Surprising Moment Hikers Find Massive Missile in Israeli Desert
A group of hikers exploring the Dead Sea in Israel came across the remnants of a large missile.
The origins of the missile or how it got here are unconfirmed but it was found just a week after Iran’s unprecedented missile attack on Israel on April 13.
A similar missile remnant, which Israel claims to have been intercepted from Iran, was also found in the Dead Sea last week.
The missile debris is over 10m long and is thought to be part of the fuel tank of a missile.
Iran launched over 300 strikes, including 120 ballistic missiles, on multiple cities in Israel on the night of April 13.
Only a tiny number made it past Israel’s air-defence system, with Israel claiming it and its allies intercepted 99% of the attacks.

ODN Video: Could a Regional War Erupt? Israel's Strike on Iran Explained
US officials claim Israel launched a missile at Iran early Friday, possibly in retaliation after weeks of rising tensions between the two nations.
Different reports conflict regarding the size of the attack on Isfahan and the level of damage.
Following weeks of escalating tensions between the regional rivals, which included an Israeli strike on… an Iranian compound in Syria and an unprecedented Iranian assault against Israel.
Here is everything we know about the latest incident so far.
Israel typically does not publicly acknowledge its military operations, which often target Iranian-supported militias in Syria and Iraq.
However, US officials have verified various news outlets, that an Israeli missile struck Iran.
US sources claim a missile was used in the assault, whereas Iran says it was carried out using small drones.
Experts widely agree in thinking that a two-stage missile was used - and was probably air-launched. Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs

The rhetoric and the drums of war are getting louder. It's not a question of if, it's when and what Israel decides to attack.
We understand Israel's guidance to its allies is that its action will be "narrow and limited" - but will Iran see it that way?
The British and German Foreign Ministers came to Jerusalem asking Netanyahu to avoid a significant escalation. But Israel's leader has brushed off calls for restraint telling his cabinet Israel will take its own decisions and do whatever is necessary to defend itself.
