"Japanese Diaper Maker Shifts Focus to Adult Nappies Amid Declining Birth Rates"

Oji Holdings, a diaper manufacturer in Japan, will stop producing infant diapers in the country due to declining birth rates and will transition to producing diapers for older people, as the demand for adult diapers has surpassed that of infant diapers for over a decade. With Japan's elderly population using more diapers than infants, the company plans to focus on businesses with high profitability and growth potential, including products for older people, while expanding infant diaper production in Malaysia and Indonesia where demand is expected to grow.

"Scarcity and Struggle: The Perils of Parenthood in Gaza"

The war between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers has led to a humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, causing severe shortages of baby formula and diapers. Parents are resorting to inadequate or unsafe alternatives, such as feeding infants solid foods, due to the lack of essential supplies. The situation is further exacerbated by skyrocketing prices, limited aid deliveries, and poor sanitary conditions, putting infants and young children at high risk of malnutrition and preventable death. The United Nations' children's agency UNICEF has highlighted the urgent need for more aid to address the colossal needs of children in Gaza.

"Desperate Struggle: Scarcity of Baby Supplies and Birth Challenges in Gaza"

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers has led to a humanitarian crisis in the besieged Gaza Strip, with severe shortages of baby formula and diapers. Parents are resorting to feeding their infants solid foods that may be harmful, while others are using inadequate or unsafe alternatives due to unaffordable prices and scarcity. The lack of basic necessities, compounded by restricted aid deliveries and dire living conditions, has left displaced Palestinians, especially children, vulnerable to illness and malnutrition, with the UN warning of an imminent risk of famine.

Diaper-wearing trend among school kids concerns teachers in Switzerland.

Teachers in Switzerland are complaining about an increasing number of students wearing diapers to school, including 11-year-olds, because they have not been potty trained. Many parents are avoiding the training session, and some children have become so accustomed to wearing diapers that they lose interest in transitioning out of them. Educators are encouraging parents to potty train their children before they enroll in school. While some children with medical conditions have limited options, teachers are tired of dealing with students who still wear diapers in school and expect the educators to change them.
