Relief work begins to take shape in Acapulco as residents continue search for essentials after Otis

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:17:20 GMT

ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — Government workers and volunteers cleared streets, gas station lines wrapped around the block for what gas was to be had, and some lucky families found food essentials as a more organized relief operation took shape Saturday in Acapulco, four days after Hurricane Otis.The aid has been slow to arrive. The Category 5 storm’s destruction cut off the city of nearly 1 million people for the first day and it intensified so quickly on Tuesday that little to nothing had been staged in advance.Authorities had the difficult task of searching for the dead and missing. Many remained incredulous that the government’s initial death toll of 27 and four missing had not risen.One military official, who did not want to give his name because he was not authorized to speak to media, said officials in his area had found at least six bodies and his unit had found one.It had been difficult to find bodies because they were often covered in trees and other debris, he said. He was cer...

Netanyahu says the Gaza war has entered a new stage and will be ‘long and difficult’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:17:20 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the nation Saturday night that the military has opened a “second stage” in the war against Hamas by sending ground forces into Gaza and expanding attacks from the ground, air and sea. He said it will only increase ahead of a broad ground invasion into the territory.“It will be long and difficult,” he said. “We are ready.”The bombardment, described by Gaza residents as the most intense of the war, knocked out most communications in Gaza. This largely cut off the besieged enclave’s 2.3 million people from the world, while enabling the Israeli military to control the narrative in the new stage of fighting.The military released grainy images Saturday showing tank columns moving slowly in open areas of Gaza, many apparently near the border, and said warplanes bombed dozens of Hamas tunnels and underground bunkers. The underground sites are a key target in Israel’s campaign to crush the territory’s ruling group after its bloo...
