This is more than compensated muted natural by the scale of potential man-made perils. Consequently, A.M. Best believes that (re)insurers need to increasingly focus on enterprise risk management (ERM) to manage the impact of possible claims. catastrophe activity in the According to the United Nations’ WorldRiskReport 2017 (which ranks countries according to their exposure to natural catastrophes), GCC countries are among those with the lowest region rankings on its RiskIndex, reflecting their experience of natural catastrophes in the region. All six GCC countries are at the lower end of the table with Qatar at the bottom (171) and Kuwait (138) occupying the highest position of all the GCC states. Analysis of precipitation in the GCC by the World Bank supports the view that most markets have enjoyed relatively benign weather conditions over the last decade. However, there have still been some weatherstorms with significant precipitation. Annual rainfall levels in the GCC show most recent floods are below historical precipitation levels, with the only exception being Cyclone Gonu – the strongest tropical cyclone on record in the Arabian Sea – which impacted Oman’s capital, Muscat.

  • Cyclone Mekunu
    Yemen: Cyclone Mekunu Flash Update 1 | 25 May 2018 Situation Overview On 23 May 2018, tropical cyclone “Mekunu” swept through the island of Socotra flooding it heavily. On 24 May, the Government of Yemen declared a state of emergency and called on humanitarian organizations to support relief efforts. At the time of this report, rains have stopped and the cyclone is on course to make landfall in western Oman and eastern Yemen on 26 May. The heavy rains and flooding on the island of Socotra have reportedly caused significant damage to public infrastructure and loss of life, although precise information of the extent of damage is not yet available. Source : WFP However, national authorities have indicated the potential for large scale damage on the island which is inhabited by approximately 70,000 people. The Socotra Governorate emergency room has reported a total of 19 persons as missing; destruction of property has displaced families, with at least 500 families seeking refuge in schools and hotels in the capital, Hadibo. Roads to both the eastern and western side of Socotra remain cut off. Hadibo airport is reported to have reopened and some flights may land on 26 May. Preliminary information from one NGO on the ground indicates key emergency needs to be food, shelter/non-food items, medicines and hygiene kits. Implications on the humanitarian situation and response • Authorities are setting up 11 temporary shelter points in the capital, mostly schools, to assist people who may have had their housing damaged by flooding. www.unocha.org The mission of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is to mobilize and coordinate effective and principled humanitarian action in partnership with national and international actors.

More recently, a number of MGAs with Lloyd’s backing have entered the DIFC.

The breeding, maturation, concentration and migration of locusts rely on appropriate environmental factors, mainly precipitation, temperature, vegetation coverage and land-surface soil moisture. Remotely sensed images and long-term meteo- rological observations across the desert locust invasion area were analyzed to explore the complex drivers, vegetation losses and growing trends during the locust upsurge in this study.

This allowed at least three generations of unprecedented breeding that was not detected. Swarms emigrated from these areas to spring breeding areas in the Central and Eastern regions from January to March 2019. Two generations of spring breeding occurred that spread to the Horn of Africa and to the Indo-Pakistan border in June. Two more generations occurred in the latter area as a result of the best monsoon rains in 25 years. Considerable control operations were conducted with the exception of Yemen where persistent civil conflict limited survey and control operations.

This study explores how a sample of British Muslims in contemporary society experience and define “hate” and “hate crime”. The research was conducted in Northwest England utilising a qualitative phenomenological methodological approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted within two community centres, where British Muslims volunteered as participants for the study. The participants were encouraged to freely articulate their experiences and to address the main objective of the research – to define hate. The findings showed that there was a distinct gap between formal or legal definitions of “hate” and the everyday notion of how hate was conceived and experienced by the sample population of Muslims in this study. As British Muslims, the participants also raised the growing concern of Islamophobia and the impact it had on their lives, with some defining hate and hate crime through this phenomenon. This study adds to the growing literature on hate crime and primarily addresses the lived experiences of British Muslims in contemporary society. It is hoped that this study will provide a future framework for those studying and working within the area of hate related crime by addressing the importance of victimology and lived experiences when dealing with the complex issue of hate.
