Aid groups have also struggled to get badly needed supplies into the country.The conflict erupted on April 15 between the nation’s army and its paramilitary force, and threatens to thrust Sudan into a raging civil war.Earlier Sunday, an aircraft carrying eight tons of emergency medical aid landed in Sudan to resupply hospitals devastated by the fighting, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross, which organized the shipment.

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) — Pope Francis said Sunday that talks were underway to return artifacts in the Vatican Museum that were acquired from Indigenous peoples in Canada and voiced a willingness to return other colonial-era objects in the Vatican’s collection on a case-by-case basis.“The Seventh Commandment comes to mind: If you steal something you have to give it back,” Francis said during an airborne press conference en route home from Hungary. Recently, Francis returned to Greece the three fragments of the Parthenon sculptures that had been in the Vatican Museums’ collection for two centuries. The pope said Sunday the restitution was “the right gesture” and that when such returns are possible, museums should undertake them.“In the case where you can return things, where it’s necessary to make a gesture, better to do it,” he said. “Sometimes you can’t, if there are no possibilities — political, real or concrete possibilities.

More than 200 people died in national parks last year: These were the deadliest

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 21:46:14 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — Every year, America's national parks welcome millions of visitors. That includes the near-record 311 million guests served last year alone. Unfortunately, some of those visitors never left the parks. Newly released data collected by the Public Risk Management Program from the National Park Service system shows that between 2014 and early April 2023, over 2,600 visitors died in national parks. Of those 204 died in 2022 alone. Though it wasn't the deadliest year in that nine-year period, it was the deadliest since 2019 when a record 320 people (tied with 2017) died across the NPS system. It was the most visited national park in 2022, but it isn’t exactly a park While you may think the proximity to wildlife or overall freedom to traverse occasionally dangerous terrains may be to blame for many of those fatalities, the leading cause of death- after those listed as "not reported" — was motor vehicle crashes, which accounted for 37 deaths across more than two dozen national...
