SUMMARY: Motorists in El Paso should expect traffic changes in far West El Paso due to the ongoing Interstate 10 West widening project. This includes closures of portions of the highway in the next two weekends. The closures will allow work crews to relocate concrete barriers and move traffic to new, concrete road surfaces. The project, which began a year ago, is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025 and includes expanding I-10 from two lanes to three lanes in each direction. Other changes, such as closed offramps and reduced lanes, will remain in place for an indefinite time.

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.
