Quizás el agua solo llegue después de horas de espera”.Durante los últimos cuatro meses, Mousdikoudine y sus dos hijos tuvieron poca o ninguna agua corriente en su casa en el territorio francés de Mayotte, una isla de unas 310.000 personas en el Océano Índico frente a la costa oriental de África, entre Mozambique y la isla. de Madagascar.Mayotte se enfrenta a una crisis de agua sin precedentes en medio de una de las peores sequías de su historia, mientras los impactos de la crisis climática causada por el hombre chocan con una falta crónica de inversión en el sistema de agua.La isla está lidiando con su peor sequía desde 1997 .

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Jordan Eberle had a goal and two assists as the Seattle Kraken defeated the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 on Saturday night.Jamie Oleksiak, Yanni Gourde and Matty Beniers also scored for Seattle (7-8-4), which won back-to-back games for the second time this season.

Miller, Quinn Hughes and Nils Hoglander scored for Vancouver (12-5-1), which has lost two in a row. Thatcher Demko stopped 22 shots.Miller and Hughes are tied with teammate Elias Pettersson for the NHL lead in points with 28 apiece.“I think that we all know we have a good team in here,” Hughes said. “We’re going to win lots of hockey games this year and we’re not going to go on 10-game winning...

El precio de la azúcar alcanza sus niveles más altos en más de una década. He aquí por qué

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:12:30 GMT

Si bien la inflación ha provocado que los precios de varios productos hayan subido desde el 2020, se espera que el precio de la azúcar se dispare aún más debido al fenómeno climático del Niño.Las recientes cifras económicas revelan que el precio actual del azúcar es el más alto registrado desde 2011, principalmente debido a problemas en la distribución y condiciones climáticas.Expertos señalan que El Niño ha provocado extensas sequías en Asia, las cuales han destruido cultivos y dificultado la cosecha.Esto ha afectado principalmente a India y Tailandia, el segundo y tercer mayor exportador de azúcar a nivel mundial, según la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO).Además, la guerra en Ucrania y las fluctuaciones en los tipos de cambio de divisas también han tenido un efecto generalizado en todo el mundo.La FAO estima que la producción global de azúcar disminuirá un 2% entre 2023 y 2024 en comparación con el año anterior, lo que se traduciría e...

The World Health Organization described Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital as a “death zone,” after a U.N. team visited the largest medical complex in the Palestinian enclave on Saturday.“The team saw a hospital no longer able to function: no water, no food, no electricity, no fuel, medical supplies depleted,” WHO’s director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, wrote on social media. He announced WHO was trying to set up an urgent evacuation plan from the current situation, which was described as “unbearable and unjustifiable,” and called for a cease-fire. Some 290 patients, including 32 babies in extremely critical condition, were left at al-Shifa, according to the U.N.-led mission, which accessed the facility briefly. The team also saw a mass grave at the entrance of the hospital, it said.Meanwhile, the White House said the U.S. was working “hard” to get a deal between Israel and Hamas that would see the release of hostages seized by the militant group in e...

Biden: ‘A cease-fire is not peace’

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:12:30 GMT

President Joe Biden reiterated his opposition to a cease-fire in Gaza in an op-ed published Saturday, in which he also lamented the high cost to Palestinians and laid out his vision for a two-state solution.“As long as Hamas clings to its ideology of destruction, a cease-fire is not peace,” Biden wrote in a Washington Post opinion piece detailing the challenges presented by the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine.Even as many Democrats in Congress have called for a cease-fire and questioned the Israeli offensive, Biden has remained adamant that Israel is exercising its right to self-defense and has instead supported humanitarian pauses.These pauses, which were implemented last week, are designed to allow Palestinians to flee the hostilities and seek out food and medical care.Biden said he was “heartbroken” by the thousands of civilian deaths in Gaza and blamed Hamas for using Palestinian civilians as human shields. The “road to peace,” the president wrote, must lead to a two-state s...

Patriots mailbag: Who should start at quarterback after bye week?

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:12:30 GMT

One of the saddest parts of the current state of the Patriots’ quarterback position is that despite the fact that five starters around the NFL have suffered season-ending injuries and three have been benched — plus whatever is going on with Aaron Rodgers — the Pats still have one of the worst current situations in the league.It would be difficult to argue that the Patriots have a top-25 starting QB on their roster even with Joe Burrow, Deshaun Watson, Daniel Jones, Kirk Cousins and Anthony Richardson being out for the year.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots veteran leader relays message for Mac Jones after benching New England Patriots | Three Patriots assistants named in NFL head coach watch list New England Patriots | Patriots make Mac Jones look like starting QB in practice after benching New England Patriots | Callahan: Mac Jones has lost the locker room and 6 more Patriots thoughts at the bye New...
