Venezuela frees six detained Americans after Trump envoy meets with Maduro
CARACAS — Venezuela has released six detained Americans following a meeting between President Nicolás Maduro and U.S. envoy Richard Grenell, who was sent by President Donald Trump to discuss both the detainees' release and the repatriation of Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States.Trump and Grenell announced the Americans' release on social media, with Grenell sharing a photo of himself with the freed men aboard a plane.“We are wheels up and headed home with these six American citizens,” Grenell wrote on X, adding that they had personally thanked Trump during a phone call.The visit marked a surprising shift, given Trump’s previous hardline stance against Maduro. Many Venezuelans had expected him to continue his "maximum pressure" campaign rather than...

Israel halts medical evacuation of critically-ill toddler from Gaza
AMMAN — Doctors say 2-year-old Habiba al-Askari has days to live as gangrene creeps up her arms and legs, and only an urgent medical evacuation out of Gaza may save her life.She has a rare genetic condition: protein C deficiency, which causes excessive blood clotting and can lead to a slow death. The condition is highly treatable – but not in Gaza, where healthcare institutions and supplies have been decimated by Israel’s yearslong war in the Palestinian enclave.Earlier this month, international aid groups worked through the complex process of obtaining permission from Israeli authorities to allow Habiba to leave Gaza for treatment.Habiba did receive formal permission to leave Gaza, according to COGAT, the Israeli agency that coordinates permissions for movement in and out of Gaza....

Returning home to northern Gaza, Palestinians find death and destruction
GAZA — Khamis and Ahmad Imarah knew they wouldn’t find much more than rubble when returning to their home in northern Gaza. But they had to go. Their father and brother are still buried under the debris, more than a year after their home was struck by Israeli forces.Standing in the middle of the Al-Shujaiya neighborhood in Gaza City on Tuesday, all Khamis Imarah could see was utter devastation. “When I came back here my heart was ripped apart. The only thing that brought me back was my father and brother,” he told CNN.“I don’t want anything else. What I am asking for is to find my father and brother and that’s it, that’s all.”The Gaza Government Office said Wednesday that some 500,000 displaced Palestinians — almost a quarter of the enclave’s population — had made...
