"Maui's Evacuation Route Initiative: Rebuilding After Deadly Wildfires"

Hawaii officials are planning to build new evacuation routes in Lahaina, Hawaii, following deadly wildfires on Maui in August. The new routes aim to prevent roadblocks that trapped residents during the fires. The state Transportation Department will create openings in sound walls and establish emergency access routes to improve traffic flow during emergencies. The effort is part of a broader initiative to make Lahaina more resilient to wildfires, which are a growing threat in Hawaii.

Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital: Babies Die as IDF Evacuates

Newborns and other patients at Gaza's largest hospital, Al-Shifa, are dying as power fails and resources run out due to heavy bombardment and intense fighting outside the complex. The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that at least 35 premature babies face possible death, with three already having died over the weekend. The majority of Gaza's hospitals are out of service, and the Al-Quds hospital has also become non-operational. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced evacuation routes from Al-Shifa and two other hospitals in Gaza City, but it remains unclear if any patients have been able to evacuate. The situation at Al-Shifa is dire, with images showing babies wrapped in blankets and resources dwindling, including food and water. The IDF claims to have offered fuel to the hospital, but it was allegedly refused.

Verified footage captured before the strike showed a truck filled with people, while subsequent footage revealed the aftermath with bodies, including women and children. Hamas has blamed Israel for the attack, which occurred on Salah-al-Din Road. Gaza civilians are now fearful of leaving their homes due to the bombing of these supposed safe routes.
