Sheikha Intisar is an interesting personality. She's suffered from PTSD since the Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait, in addition to that stuff mentioned in the quoted post she's worked with UN's Sustainable Development Goals program and founded atleast three non-profit organisations, the Intisar Foundation that helps women affected by war and trauma in the Arab World, etc, helped make the Arabian Peninsula a slightly better place. Major name in Kuwait, but only 58 and hopefully not a pool possibility soon. Here with her father Sheikh Salem around 2019 or 2020, picture from her Instagram account: Sheikh Salem's donated a lot to charities too and usually donates in millions. His net worth is likely in billions as he's been getting rich from the oil since the 1950s. Also, that dead Saudi Arabian prince seemingly turned out to be a son of King Saud who was the successor (and son) of Ibn Saud/King Abdulaziz. I can understand how he was confused with that son of Ibn Saud.

Filipino marine biologist, National Scientist and politician Angel Alcala dead at 93.

Seemingly improving now but doesn't look that great in this image from an hour ago:

Mihai Șora is that guy who has an active (or active the last time I checked a few months ago) facebook account. Chinese Wiki has two born 1916 who I think could still likely be alive. And around 35 others still marked living who have either died in recent years according to Baike or other sites or likely died around five decades ago. Xu Zhongfu (wikidata) China's former ambassador to Chile, Argentina and Brazil. Was China's ambassador to Chile when Mao died. Has had a Zh wiki since 2012 and a Spanish wiki since 2016. As far as I know he was still alive around 2021 and has a Baike Baidu page. Whatever the name of this guy is, Mitsushiro Maeda/Mitsushige? Maega? (wikidata) Japanese-born Chinese veteran. Seems to have been used in Chinese propaganda in recent years so he's probably alive.

Feng Zigen hospitalised for 20 days, recovers from covid, double pneumonia, bilateral pleural effusion, anemia, abnormal kidney and liver function, bacterial infection and hypoalbuminemia and gets discharged. Yes, at 104. (Article also lists his other ailments, he's been near-blind and has had a shrapnel in his femur since the long march, bedridden for the last three years, fed through a tube for a longer time and suffers from brain atrophy and severe intestinal problems. Another name to the long, long list of Chinese medical miracles.) Also, Li Yuguang dead at 101. Should've picked him in the Centenarians DP instead of all those immortals.

Hulk Hogan can not feel his lower body or legs due to a new surgery. He's also had tons of surgeries and health problems in the past years and will be 70 in August, around 94 for a professional wrestler. Would it be soon time to reinstate this thread after 17 years?

Saakashvili in ICU, or maybe not. Looks horrible however.
