Deadly wildfires sweep southern Spain, killing at least 12
A series of wildfires across southern Spain have killed at least 12 people, with 19 others still missing, making it one of the deadliest fire events in the country's recent history. Emergency crews continue to battle the blazes across multiple fronts. The disaster has drawn international attention, with global media outlets including BBC, NPR, and Al Jazeera reporting on the escalating crisis. Local authorities have yet to confirm the full extent of damage or the cause of the fires.
Israel has expanded its zone of control in Gaza, with shelling continuing through the night and gunfire reported by day across larger areas. Meanwhile, young graduates in Gaza face severe unemployment, with a college degree offering little protection against the territory's devastated economy. The humanitarian and economic toll continues to mount as the conflict shows no signs of de-escalation. NPR and Al Jazeera have covered both the military operations and the broader social consequences.
