Violence in Isarel and Palestine intensifies
What initially began as protests by Palestinian citizens and Israeli state violence in East Jerusalem over attempts to remove the Arab minority from their homes, has now morphed into attacks, bombings and missiles between terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip. So far there are 30 dead Palestinians (including several minors) and 2 Israelis. Several international organizations and human rights defenders are clamoring for dialogue and for the attacks to stop, but both sides seem to have no interest in negotiating.

Drought in India is triggered not only by deficient rainfall but also by erratic rainfall: more days with higher rainfall, longer dry spells between heavy rainfall events, and delayed monsoons – a pattern that is becoming more frequent with climate change.
Local communities and national agencies need short-term, seasonal and long-term climate forecasts to help them prepare for, cope with and recover from drought. But the way climate information is managed in India presents challenges: people are not receiving the right data in the right way and at the right time to be able to understand, interpret and act on it.
