We have to protect children and change the laws around child labour

With reference to Haroon Janjua's report 'We need justice': Zohra Shah's family breaks silence over murder of girl, 8 (June 9): the employers should face harsh punishment for their crime. These laws need to change fast. An eight-year-old child should be playing, studying and enjoying childhood, not working.

Society functions comfortably courtesy good leadership

This refers to Robert Kirk's op-ed Lessons from the UAE in how to build resilience during a pandemic (June 9): good leadership makes civil society function comfortably. One can only imagine the time and effort that the leaders put in to containing the spread of Covid-19, devoting their energy to safeguarding the people throughout the lockdown period.

However, individual responsibility is also crucial. People must understand what they are supposed to do and how they are supposed to behave in the months ahead.

Let's hope the world can fast recover from the current situation and life can go back to some sort of normal.

The dearth of hospital beds in Delhi is worrying

With reference to the report Delhi coronavirus cases set to explode, hospitals running out of beds (June 9): it was alarming to read that the cases in India are about to overtake the number of infections of UK, with infections in Delhi expected to reach 550,000 by the end of July. An increase in Covid-19 cases and the shortage of beds in the Indian capital should push the government to provide more beds. They are already doing so but efforts need to be seriously ramped up and still more precautionary measures taken.

The airline that is bound to bounce back after the pandemic

Regarding Deena Kamel's report Dubai's Emirates lays off more staff to cope with coronavirus fallout (June 9): Emirates was born when the aviation industry was suffering. It is only a matter of time and it will bounce back and faster than any other airline. It is not just an airline, it is the heart of Dubai. And Dubai is known to surprise the world. Wait and watch.
Mohammed Al Edroos, Dubai

They will bounce back. The whole world just needs to go through this phase of restructure.

Shauna Maree, California, US

Really hoping that the airline will soon be up and flying. My daughter has loved every minute in Dubai, and I've got to say that the company has looked after my daughter in the 14 years she has flown with Emirates.

The smuggler

Eldarir had arrived at JFK in January 2020 with three suitcases, containing goods he valued at $300, when he was directed to a search area.
Officers found 41 gold artefacts among the bags, including amulets from a funerary set which prepared the deceased for the afterlife.
Also found was a cartouche of a Ptolemaic king on a relief that was originally part of a royal building or temple.
The largest single group of items found in Eldarir’s cases were 400 shabtis, or figurines.

Khouli conviction

Khouli smuggled items into the US by making false declarations to customs about the country of origin and value of the items.
According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he provided “false provenances which stated that [two] Egyptian antiquities were part of a collection assembled by Khouli's father in Israel in the 1960s” when in fact “Khouli acquired the Egyptian antiquities from other dealers”.
He was sentenced to one year of probation, six months of home confinement and 200 hours of community service in 2012 after admitting buying and smuggling Egyptian antiquities, including coffins, funerary boats and limestone figures.

For sale

A number of other items said to come from the collection of Ezeldeen Taha Eldarir are currently or recently for sale.
Their provenance is described in near identical terms as the British Museum shabti: bought from Salahaddin Sirmali, "authenticated and appraised" by Hossen Rashed, then imported to the US in 1948.
