“We are in for an absolute disaster.” The doctor spoke about what is happening in Gaza hospitals

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com October 16, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Israel continues to carry out airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, and hospitals in the enclave’s largest city are overflowing with the wounded, Tengrinews.kz reports with reference to Euronews.

According to UN and Red Cross agencies working in Gaza, city residents have no food, water or electricity. The only connection with the outside world – the Rafah checkpoint on the border with Egypt – is closed.

As one of Gaza’s surgeons told reporters, the city’s hospitals “are on the verge of collapse.” They are overcrowded with people seeking asylum and cannot evacuate patients.

“Thousands, if not tens of thousands of people are seeking refuge in the hospital, on the grounds, but also inside buildings, on stairwells, in corridors and even in wards between patient beds… Unless a humanitarian corridor is created to supply hospitals with everything necessary and evacuate the wounded, if the bombing does not stop, then an absolute disaster awaits us here…” said Dr. Ghassan Abu Settah, a member of Doctors Without Borders.

Gaza’s morgues have run out of space and are using vans with freezers that used to deliver ice cream to temporarily store the remains of the dead.

As of Sunday evening, according to the Palestinian Health Authority, 2,726 Palestinians had been killed in the fighting and more than 10,800 were injured.

Among them are 2,670 dead and about 9,600 wounded in the Gaza Strip, 56 dead and more than 1,200 wounded in the West Bank. In addition, more than 1,000 people are missing, buried under the rubble of Israeli bombing.

Deadly Bus Accident in Venice: 21 Dead and 18 Injured After Bus Falls off Overpass and Catches Fire

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com October 4, 2023

Reading time: 2 minutes

At least 21 people have died and 18 have been injured after a bus fell off an overpass to Mestre in Venice and later caught fire near train tracks.

Because it is important? According to local authorities, it was a tourist bus that was traveling to a camp and it has been learned that among the injured there are at least two Spaniards.

The facts: The bus fell off the footbridge that crossed the highway and fell between a warehouse and the train tracks. When it fell, the vehicle ended up catching fire due to its contact with the power lines.

The accident has caused 21 deaths, including two children, and 18 injured, six of whom are in very serious condition and have been transferred to hospitals. Among the injured are at least two Spanish nationals. Four Ukrainians, a German, a Frenchman, a Croatian and two Austrians have also been identified. The first hypotheses suggest that the driver, a 40-year-old man who also died, would have felt unwell, since there is no evidence of any braking and the bus was traveling on a straight road. The accident has forced the suspension of rail service on the line connecting Maestro with Venice.

What do they say? The Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, has expressed “her deep condolences”: “I am in contact with the mayor Luigi Brugnaro and the Minister of Transport, Matteo Salvini, to follow the information of this tragedy,” she indicated in a statement.

The mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, indicated that the bus “was full of people returning from work” and classified the incident as “an apocalyptic scene”, reported the AdnKronos news agency. The Italian president, Sergio Mattarella, has also spoken out and has indicated on the official account of the Presidency on the social network X that he has called Brugnaro “to express his condolences for the very serious tragedy in Mestre.”

One dead and two injured when a car overturned on the Havana-Pinar del Río highway

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com July 15, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

One person died and two others were injured in a car accident that occurred this Friday on the Havana-Pinar del Río highway. The vehicle, with private sheet metal, lost control on the bridge that leads to the town of Herradura, in the municipality of Consolación del Sur, and after the impact Dainarys Patterson, 37, lost her life. reported the official press.

Along with Patterson, who lived in Herradura, were two passengers who were injured and are now receiving medical attention at the Abel Santamaría Provincial Hospital. His injuries, assured Manuel Quintero, head of the Guard Corps at this center, are “mild, without compromise for life.”

The doctor added that, upon receiving the news of the accident, “the usual protocols” of the hospital were activated, and the injured were treated “by a multidisciplinary team of specialists.”

The Cuban News Agency published several photographs of the accident, in which a notable damage to the body of the vehicle is observed, completely overturned on the road. The car, with license plate P217282, is an American-made vintage car, but its condition does not allow the brand to be identified.

The data indicates that almost two Cubans die every day on the roads

Until June 1, 290 people had lost their lives in traffic accidents in Cuba. “There persists a lack of perception in the population of what are the risks that can lead to a traffic accident,” said Roberto Rodríguez Fernández, head of the Specialized Traffic Body of the General Directorate, when offering the figure to the official press. from the police.

Rodríguez offered the accident rate data, tiptoeing over the management of the authorities. Just a day before, the Minister of Transport, Eduardo Rodríguez Dávila, placed at 40% the roads that present “an unfavorable technical state”, but Rodríguez preferred to quantify the responsibility of citizens.

“We lack signs, the technical state of the road and the vehicles are not adequate, but if you drive carefully and pay due attention, we could prevent the country from 35% of traffic accidents, 25% of deaths and 28% of the injured,” he said.

Rodríguez offered the data for the first five months of the year at a press conference. There were 3,620 traffic accidents and 2,807 people were injured, which means 448 accidents and 198 less injuries. “As long as a human being loses his life or is injured, we have to be dissatisfied with what has been done,” he lamented.

The data indicates that almost two Cubans die every day on the highways. Cuba’s aging motor fleet and the scarcity of public transport is one of the causes for many private vehicles to adapt, without security conditions, for the collective transport of passengers, favoring accidents, with fatal results.
