AI Summary:
Flooding has intensified across the saturated regions of the US South and Midwest. As of Sunday, the river's depth had surpassed 14 metres and is expected to reach almost 15 metres by Monday morning. At least 18 people have died since the onset of the storms on Wednesday. In Kentucky, emergency officials have mandated the evacuation of towns near the rising Licking River. Three decades ago, the river reached a record height of 15.24 metres, resulting in five fatalities. The storms come after the Trump administration cut jobs at NWS forecast offices. A UN report says more than one thousand people have been killed in Gaza since the collapse of the ceasefire on 18 March. More than 100,000 have also been displaced, mostly from Rafah. Israeli neighbourhoods were ordered to evacuate in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah neighbourhood shortly after about 10 projectiles were fired from the strip. The US, which is a mediator in ceasefire efforts along with Egypt and Qatar, has expressed support for Israel’s resumption of the war last month. The war in Gaza started after Hamas fighters carried out an attack on southern Israel on 7 October, 2023. 251 hostages were taken, most of which have since been released as part of negotiations between the two parties.
