Hard Numbers: Russia continues to strike Ukraine, Measles kills again in Texas, Buchenwald liberation remembered, Video of killing of Gazan emergency crew surfaces, Deadly storms wallop the US, Bolsonaro supporters rally
19: A Russian missile strike on Volodymyr Zelensky’s hometown, the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, killed 18 people on Friday in one of the deadliest attacks of the year. Russian attacks on Kyiv on Sunday also killed a man and injured three others. Ceasefire talks are ongoing between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States but have thus far failed to make a difference on the ground.
2: The measles outbreak in Texas has claimed another life. An eight-year-old girl died early Thursday in Lubbock, Texas, the second measles death in the country in 10 years. The Lonestar State has seen 480 cases and 56 hospitalizations since late January, and health authorities warn that if the virus continues to spread at this pace, the US could soon lose its measles elimination status.
80: On Sunday, Germany marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp. Former German President Christian Wulff addressed fellow politicians, as well as survivors and families, as he paid tribute to the victims of Nazism and warned of the risks of “brutalization and radicalization” amid the rise of far-right forces around the world.
15: Fifteen emergency responders were killed last month by Israeli forces near Rafah in southern Gaza. Israel claimed the vehicles advanced on them “suspiciously” without headlights or emergency signals. But a very revealing video found on the phone of one of the victims showed well-marked ambulances moving along a road with headlights and emergency lights flashing in the moments before they were targeted. Israel now says part of its initial account of the incident was “mistaken.”
16: Storms have been hitting the South and Midwest in the US since last Wednesday, bringing torrential rains, tornadoes, and flooding to several states and killing at least 16 people, 10 of whom were in Tennessee. Tornado risks persist in three states — Alabama, Georgia, and Florida — and forecasters warn that flooding could still harm large parts of the Southeast in the coming days.
45,000: Roughly 45,000 people rallied on the streets of Sao Paulo in support of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Sunday after the country’s Supreme Court ruled a couple of weeks ago that he must face trial over his alleged attempt to overturn the 2022 election. “What these guys really want isn’t to lock me up, they want to kill me, because I’m a thorn in their throat,” Bolsonaro, who was speaking of the judges, said at the rally.
