Indonesia

Thousands have been evacuated following the country's deadliest disaster since a 2022 quake killed hundreds in West Java.

In a joint statement, the countries accused Israel of undermining efforts to fully end the war with Hamas in Gaza and derailing Trump’s push to cement conditions necessary for long-lasting peace.

Thirty-six people were seriously injured in the Saturday morning quake in East Nusa Tenggara province, while 77 had minor injuries, Deputy Health Minister Benjamin Paulus Octavianus said.

According to Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Authority, several agencies have been mobilized in response to the seismic activity to assess damage and locate people trapped underneath rubble.

Later, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) on Tuesday afternoon stated that a cargo vessel was struck by an unknown projectile off the coast of Al Mokha, Yemen.

Search and rescue is working to rescue people from the water after the ferry carrying 250 people caught fire.

Forty-nine survivors were located in total since the boat sank last week, though another 20 people reportedly remain missing as the search continues.

Police raided the daycare center in late April and said they found dozens of children aged between two and six years old with their hands and feet tied. Some children were tied to doors.

The quake came early in the morning as schools were reopening in the Philippines after a long break, with the tremors felt strongly in a dozen provinces.

The obstacles remain substantial, but with the right American commitment and support, there is now an opportunity to take Indonesia-Israel ties out of the shadows and into the sunlight.
