SUMMARY: Arizona Sen. Eva Burch, pregnant with a non-viable pregnancy, revealed her plans to get an abortion to highlight the impact of restrictive abortion laws in the state.

She shared her personal story to shed light on the struggles many women face with fertility and abortion. Burch, running for re-election, also wants to draw attention to a proposed ballot measure creating a constitutional right to abortion.

SUMMARY: Rafah, a city in the Gaza Strip, has become a deserted, war-ravaged area following a two-month Israeli military invasion targeting Hamas, their final stronghold in Gaza. Abandoned buildings and rubble dominate the landscape, with few civilians remaining. Israel alleges that Hamas turned civilian areas into combat zones, creating deadly traps. Approximately 1.4 million Palestinians fled to Rafah, now reduced to around 50,000 under dire conditions in a “humanitarian area.” Aid efforts are stalled, with dangerous routes and limited access to resources. The humanitarian crisis worsens as Israel pushes forward its offensive, despite significant challenges in aid delivery and civilian survival.
