Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Saline Supply Secured Through Lunar New Year
Y F Chemical Corporation, Taiwan's largest saline producer, has resumed full
production after addressing violations that halted operations last year.
The Health Ministry announced that saline supplies are now sufficient
(充足的) to meet hospital needs through the Lunar New Year.
Other manufacturers have increased output, and imported saline stocks remain
high, with hundreds of thousands of bags in reserve.
While a global shortage of soft-bag saline packaging caused recent delays,
officials expect supply to stabilize next week.
The FDA has coordinated with manufacturers to prioritize deliveries for any
reported shortages.
Hospitals have also increased their inventories ahead of the holiday season
to ensure uninterrupted care.
Record NT$1.05 Billion in Lunar New Year Lottery Prizes
Taiwan Lottery announced a record $1.05 billion NT in bonus prizes for this
year's Lunar New Year lottery.
The prizes will be drawn daily over 20 days from January 24th to February
12th, covering popular games like Lotto 6/49, Daily Cash, and Bingo Bingo.
The Lotto 6/49 top prize will be $100 million NT, while the Big Red Envelope
game offers up to $1 million NT per winner from a prize pool of $480 million
NT.
Smaller prizes are also available through additional (額外的) draws,
including the Small Red Envelope game.
For Bingo Bingo, prize amounts will increase during the holiday lottery
period.
This year's Lunar New Year bonus prizes are the largest ever.
UN: Syrian Refugees Desperate Conditions
The United Nations is warning more than 125,000 Syrian refugees are facing
"desperate conditions" as they return to their home country.
The UN's refugee agency U.N.H.C.R says many people have arrived back in Syria
following last month's fall of the Assad regime.
But families find themselves with little shelter and few economic prospects
(前途).

Ukraine Zelenskyy Austin on Trump Presidency
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd
Austin used their final meeting in Germany to press the incoming Trump
administration not to give up on Kyiv’s fight.
Austin warned that to cease military support now “will only invite more
aggression, chaos and war.”
President-elect Donald Trump’s pronouncements about pushing for a quick end
to the war and his kinship (親切感) with Putin have triggered (觸發) concern
among allies.
But Austin said "no responsible leader will let Putin have his way.”
And while Austin acknowledged he has no idea what Trump will do, he said the
international leaders gathered Thursday in Germany talked about the need to
continue the mission.
UN Forecasts Modest World Economy Growth
The United Nations says the world economy resisted battering by conflicts and
inflation last year and is expected to grow a subdued 2.8% in 2025.
The U.N. projected last January that global economic growth would be 2.4% in
2024.
It said Thursday that the rate was estimated to have been slightly higher, at
2.8%.
Both remain below the 3% rate the world saw before the COVID-19 pandemic
started in 2020.
In their 'World Economic Situation and Prospects 2025, U.N. economists wrote
that their positive prediction was driven by the strong but slowing growth
forecast for China and the United States and by robust (旺盛的) performance
anticipated for India and Indonesia.
The European Union, Japan, and United Kingdom are expected to experience
modest recovery.
