Covid could add to 2 million per year stillbirth toll: UN-[AFP]-Patrick GALEY-October 7, 2020
Almost two million babies are stillborn every year -- one every 16 seconds -- the United Nations said Thursday, warning that the Covid-19 pandemic could add another 200,000 deaths to the "devastating" toll.The vast majority of stillbirths, 84 percent, occur in low- and middle-income countries, where basic neo-natal care could save hundreds of thousands of lives each year, according to a joint report by UNICEF, the World Health Organization and the World Bank Group. Most stillbirths occur due to poor quality healthcare lacking investment in equipment and training of midwives. And unlike notable reductions in recent decades in the global rate of maternal and infant deaths, stillbirths remain stubbornly frequent, particularly throughout sub-Saharan Africa and southeast Asia."Losing a child at birth or during pregnancy is a devastating tragedy for a family, one that is often endured quietly, yet all too frequently, around the world," said UNICEF executive director Henrietta Fore.Beyond the loss of life, the psychological and financial costs for women, families and societies are severe and long lasting. For many of these mothers, it simply didn't have to be this way The report warned that the pandemic could result in nearly 200,000 additional stillbirths, assuming that 50 percent of health services are impacted in low- and middle-income countries by the Covid-19 response. Mark Hereward, UNICEF's associate director for data and analytics, told AFP that infants in many countries would suffer from Covid-19 even if their mothers never contracted the disease."Firstly, due to the massive increase in poverty because of the global recessions," he said. "The other way is through an interruption to health services, either because health workers are reassigned to work on Covid or because people are afraid to go to clinic."Hereward said that without urgent action the world will have suffered 20 million more stillbirths by 2030.- 'I cried and cried' - Globally, over 40 percent of stillbirths occur during labour, the UN said. These are among the most avoidable deaths given that many labour stillbirths could be prevented with access to trained midwives and emergency obstetric care.Sabine Uwizeye, a 35-year-old living in Rwanda's capital Kigali, lost her baby when she went into labour during the 37th week of pregnancy."I knew that something was wrong and the doctor told me that my baby was dead. I couldn't believe it. I cried and cried," she told AFP. "The baby had many knots in its umbilical chord. I feel so bad even now not being able to hold my sick baby."Uwizeye is now the mother to a healthy 10-month-old, but she urged expectant mothers to be vigilant in monitoring their baby's health."Keep going for check ups and make sure that your pregnancy is normal," she said. "Even when you are at home you can make sure the baby in the womb is ok. Be constantly aware and vigilant."As well as the wide disparity in stillbirth rates between rich and poorer nations, the report also found significant variations in the rates within individual countries, often linked to socioeconomic status. In Nepal, for example, women of minority castes have stillbirth rates 40-60 percent higher than those from upper-class castes.And in Canada, Inuit communities have a stillbirth rate nearly three times higher than the general population. Speaking to journalists on Wednesday, Anshu Banerjee, director for the Department of Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health and Ageing at the WHO said the world needed "break out of this cocoon of taboos and stigma" surrounding stillbirth. pg/tgb.
Police brace for virus rule violations at ultra-Orthodox Simchat Torah events-Some expected to carry on with customary dancing despite high transmission rates; police reportedly not planning to enter synagogues or scuffle with those holding Torah scrolls-By TOI staff-oct 10,20-Today, 2:43 pm
Israel Police were preparing for violations of virus regulations within the ultra-Orthodox community on Saturday night during celebrations for the festival of Simchat Torah.It was expected that some sectors of the community would flout restrictions against mass gatherings, despite high coronavirus transmission rates.The holiday, at the end of Sukkot, marks the completion of the yearly cycle of Torah readings and the beginning of a new one. It is traditionally celebrated with hakafot, when worshipers gather at synagogues and circle the prayer hall en masse while holding Torah scrolls and dancing.Hebrew-language media reports said police were planning to deploy in force for the holiday throughout the country.Illustrative — Ultra-Orthodox men carry a Torah scroll and dance during Simchat Torah celebrations in Jerusalem, on October 21, 2019 (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)-However citing a senior police official, the Haaretz daily reported that police would not enter synagogues to disperse worshipers or scuffle with those holding Torah scrolls.The Health Ministry on Thursday issued special guidelines to cover the holiday, reminding the public that they must pray outside in open spaces, and warning that anyone who touches a Torah scroll must immediately disinfect their hands afterward.There has been growing criticism of Haredi communities for not adhering to government guidelines, including continuing to host mass gatherings over the holiday period, despite high levels of transmission within the community.Additionally, ultra-Orthodox communities tend to be more susceptible to the virus given the lower average socioeconomic conditions, which lead to large families living in small apartments.Israel’s chief rabbis on Friday implored Israelis to refrain from praying indoors and kissing Torah scrolls during the holiday.“With all the pain of not being able to celebrate Simchat Torah as we do every year, Torah scrolls must not be passed between worshipers and must not be kissed… so as not to infect each other,” Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi David Lau and Chief Sephardi Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef wrote in an open letter.The plea came a day after the Ynet news site reported that top rabbis in Bnei Brak, an ultra-Orthodox suburb of Tel Aviv that has the second-highest number of infections of any city in Israel, told residents they could pray and dance in synagogues during Simchat Torah, in contravention of coronavirus guidelines.The rabbis published a letter saying prayers in open spaces are preferable but that gathering inside synagogue yards, as well as in the buildings themselves, is allowed.Ultra-Orthodox Israelis account for a disproportionately high number of the total coronavirus cases across the country, according to Health Ministry figures released Friday evening.Haredi Jews from the Hasidic sect of Shomrei Emunim attend the funeral of Rabbi Refael Aharon Roth, 72, who died from the coronavirus, in Bnei Brak, Israel, August 13, 2020. (AP Photo/Oded Balilty)-Twenty-five percent of tests conducted in Haredi towns came back positive, Channel 12 reported, citing figures from the Health Ministry. The countrywide positive test rate stood at 7.4%.In addition, Haredi locales made up for over 60% of the Health Ministry designated virus hotspots, Channel 12 reported. Overall, the number of hotspots nationwide dropped from 130 last week to 80 as of Friday night.Channel 12 also cited figures from Weizmann Institute of Science Professor Eran Segal showing that “46% of the contagion at the moment is in the ultra-Orthodox community,” in what appeared to be a reference to the percentage of active cases countrywide. The ultra-Orthodox make up some 12% of the total population in Israel.While concern regarding morbidity rates in Haredi towns has continued, overall virus numbers continued their downward trend Friday evening, with the percentage of positive tests sliding from 7.9% on Thursday to 7.4%.However, the number of tests conducted remained lower than earlier this week, when it had reached almost 50,000, and far lower than previous weeks, when numbers were above 60,000.Medical team members take swabs to test for the coronavirus disease at Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem on October 8, 2020 (Nati Shohat/Flash90)-As of 8 p.m. Friday evening, just 24,727 tests were conducted that day, with 1,749 of them returning positive.The country’s total case count stood at 287,858, of which 60,722 were active. The number of seriously ill patients stood at 860, of whom 241 were on ventilators. The death toll climbed by 12 Friday, reaching 1,886.The current lockdown, Israel’s second since the pandemic started, began on September 18 before Rosh Hashanah and was tightened a week later. It is currently set to end on October 14.It has been marked by clashes between enforcing police and ultra-Orthodox protesters, as well as between police and anti-government protesters who are calling for Netanyahu’s resignation due to his ongoing corruption trial and the government’s handling of the virus outbreak.
Over 400 US rabbis back tough New York social distancing measures-Statement by liberal advocacy group supports measures put in place by governor and mayor, accused by some Orthodox community members of singling out Jewish areas-By Ron Kampeas-OCT 10,20-Today, 12:22 am
JTA — More than 450 American rabbis from across the religious spectrum signed a statement backing measures by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to contain the coronavirus pandemic.The statement, organized by the New York Jewish Agenda, a liberal Jewish advocacy group, expressed its support for New York’s use of “data-driven, geographically-based efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19.”-The reference to “data-driven” efforts is aimed at pushing back at claims that Cuomo and de Blasio are singling out Haredi Orthodox Jews with their most recent efforts to contain the spread of the virus.In April, the advocacy group organized a letter protesting what it said was de Blasio’s “scapegoating the Jewish community” with a series of tweets harshly criticizing the violating of social distancing guidelines at an Orthodox funeral in Brooklyn.This week’s statement emphasized that the current orders, spurred by a sharp uptick in infections, are not driven by bias.“We condemn the lack of compliance with public health directives and recent violent reactions from some individuals within the Orthodox Jewish community to enforcement of those mandates,” the statement said.The New York Jewish Agenda began seeking signatures on Wednesday after violence broke out in protests in Brooklyn.Groups of protesters gather in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Borough Park to denounce lockdowns of their neighborhood due to a spike in COVID-19 cases on October 7, 2020 in New York City. (Spencer Platt/Getty Images/AFP)-An online press conference on Friday featured rabbis from across the religious spectrum citing religious mandates to abide by the restrictions, as well as Jacob Korbluh, the Jewish Insider reporter targeted this week at one of the protests.Some of the most restrictive orders put in place this week by Cuomo are in areas of New York City that have been especially hard hit by the virus, several of which are Haredi strongholds.Agudath Israel of America, a Haredi umbrella group, is suing to stop the restrictions, in part because they coincide with three major Jewish holy days.Separately, a letter to Cuomo by a law firm representing a congregation in Monsey, New York, says that the distinctions Cuomo has drawn between “essential” and “non-essential” enterprises are “discredited” and unconstitutional.The letter, from Ronald Coleman on behalf of Rabbi Chaim Rottenberg of Netzach Yisroel congregation, argues that Cuomo is not imposing similar restrictions on other “hotspot” areas and says there is no scientific justification for the regulations. The letter says that unless Cuomo withdraws the restrictions, the congregation will file suit.

Armenia, Azerbaijan agree on cease-fire in Nagorno-Karabakh-If Russian-brokered truce holds, it would mark major diplomatic coup for Moscow; hundreds killed in biggest escalation of decades-old conflict since separatist war ended in 1994-By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV-oct 10,20-Today, 12:28 pm
MOSCOW (AP) — With Russia’s mediation, Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to a cease-fire in Nagorno-Karabakh starting at noon Saturday following two weeks of heavy fighting that marked the worst outbreak of hostilities in the separatist region in more than a quarter-century.The countries’ foreign ministers said in a statement that the truce is intended to exchange prisoners and recover the dead, adding that specific details will be agreed on later.The announcement followed 10 hours of talks in Moscow sponsored by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who read the statement. It stipulated that the cease-fire should pave the way for talks on settling the conflict.If the truce holds, it would mark a major diplomatic coup for Russia, which has a security pact with Armenia but also cultivated warm ties with Azerbaijan.In this image taken from a video released by Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry on October 9, 2020, Azerbaijani soldiers walk in formation on a road during a military conflict in the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh. (Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry via AP)-The latest outburst of fighting between Azerbaijani and Armenian forces began September 27 and left hundreds of people dead in the biggest escalation of the decades-old conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh since a separatist war there ended in 1994. The region lies in Azerbaijan but has been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia.The talks between the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan were held on invitation from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who brokered the cease-fire in a series of calls with President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan and Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian.In this photo released by the Russian Foreign Ministry Press Service, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, center, Armenia’s Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan, right, and Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov seen during their meeting in Moscow, Russia, October 9, 2020. (Russian Foreign Ministry Press Service via AP)-Since the start of the latest fighting, Armenia said it was open to a cease-fire, while Azerbaijan previously had made a potential truce conditional on the Armenian forces’ withdrawal from Nagorno-Karabakh, arguing that the failure of international efforts to negotiate a political settlement left it no other choice but to resort to force.With the US Capitol in the background, Armenian-Americans protest Oct. 9, 2020 in Washington. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)-Russia has co-sponsored peace talks on Nagorno-Karabakh together with the United States and France as co-chairs of the so-called Minsk Group, which is working under the auspices of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. They haven’t produced any deal, leaving Azerbaijan increasingly exasperated.Speaking in an address to the nation Friday hours before the cease-fire deal was reached, the Azerbaijani president insisted on his country’s right to reclaim its territory by force after nearly three decades of international talks that “haven’t yielded an inch of progress.”“Mediators and leaders of some international organizations have stated that there is no military solution to the conflict,” Aliyev said. “I have disagreed with the thesis, and I have been right. The conflict is now being settled by military means and political means will come next.”Fighting with heavy artillery, warplanes and drones has engulfed Nagorno-Karabakh, with both sides accusing each other of targeting residential areas and civilian infrastructure.According to the Nagorno-Karabakh military, 404 of its servicemen have been killed since September 27. Azerbaijan hasn’t provided details on its military losses. Scores of civilians on both sides also have been killed.In this October 4, 2020 photo, an Armenian soldier fires an artillery piece during fighting with Azerbaijan’s forces in the self-proclaimed Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan. (Press office of Armenian Defense Ministry PAN Photo via AP)-The current escalation marked the first time that Azerbaijan’s ally Turkey took a high profile in the conflict, offering strong political support. Over the past few years, Turkey provided Azerbaijan with state-of-the-art weapons, including drones and rocket systems that helped the Azerbaijani military outgun the Nagorno-Karabakh separatist forces in the latest fighting.Armenian officials say Turkey is involved in the conflict and is sending Syrian mercenaries to fight on Azerbaijan’s side. Turkey has denied deploying combatants to the region, but a Syrian war monitor and three Syria-based opposition activists have confirmed that Turkey has sent hundreds of Syrian opposition fighters to fight in Nagorno-Karabakh.In an interview with CNN Arabic aired Thursday, Azerbaijan’s president admitted that Turkish F-16 fighter jets have stayed on in Azerbaijan weeks after a joint military exercise, but insisted that they have remained grounded. Armenian officials had earlier claimed that a Turkish F-16 shot down an Armenian warplane, a claim that both Turkey and Azerbaijan have denied.Turkey’s involvement in the conflict raised painful memories in Armenia, where an estimated 1.5 million died in massacres, deportations and forced marches that began in 1915 as Ottoman officials worried that the Christian Armenians would side with Russia, its enemy in World War I.The event is widely viewed by historians as genocide. Turkey denies the deaths constituted genocide, saying the toll has been inflated and that those killed were victims of civil war and unrest.Turkey’s highly visible role in the conflict worried Russia, which has a military base in Armenia. The two countries are linked by a security treaty obliging Moscow to offer support to its ally if it comes under aggression.People take refuge in a bomb shelter in Stepanakert, the self-proclaimed Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan, October 6, 2020. (AP Photo/Dmitri Lovetsky)-But at the same time, Russia has sought to maintain strong economic and political ties with oil-rich Azerbaijan and ward off Turkey’s attempt to increase its influence in the South Caucasus without ruining its delicate relations with Ankara.Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have negotiated a series of deals to coordinate their conflicting interests in Syria and Libya, and expanded their economic ties. Last year, NATO member Turkey took the delivery of the Russian S-400 air defense missiles, a move that angered Washington.A lasting cease-fire in Nagorno-Karabakh would allow the Kremlin to stem Turkey’s bid to expand its clout in Russia’s backyard without ruining its strategic relationship with Ankara.While Turkey has aspired to join the Minsk Group talks as a co-chair, the statement issued by Armenia and Azerbaijan contained their pledge to maintain the current format of the peace talks.Speaking in televised remarks after the talks, Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan emphasized that “no other country, in particular Turkey, can play any role.”
British men accused of helping behead Islamic State hostages plead not guilty-2 suspects, allegedly part of brutal Jihadi cell dubbed ‘The Beatles,’ are on trial in US for helping terror group carry out killings, hostage negotiations-By Matthew Barakat-OCT 10,20-Today, 3:36 am
ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (AP) — Two British men charged with helping the Islamic State group carry out executions, including the beheading of Jewish journalist Steven Sotloff, pleaded not guilty Friday in a US federal court.El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Kotey are identified by authorities as two of four men who were dubbed “the Beatles” by hostages, who took note of their British accents. They were also charged with and carrying out ransom negotiations for Western hostages for the terror group.They were indicted this week in US District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, on charges including hostage-taking resulting in death and providing material support to terrorists.The indictment charges the men in connection with the deaths of four American hostages — Sotloff, journalist James Foley, and aid workers Peter Kassig and Kayla Mueller — as well as European and Japanese nationals who were also held captive.Sotloff, who was Jewish and grew up in Miami, published articles from Syria, Egypt and Libya in various publications, including Time, the World Affairs Journal and Foreign Policy. He had deep roots in Israel, and held Israeli citizenship.Journalist Steve Sotloff in Egypt, 2011. (Facebook/Oren Kessler)-At a brief hearing Friday in the court just outside Washington, DC, the two men pleaded not guilty and requested a jury trial. No trial date was set after both men waived their right to a speedy trial because of the case’s complexity. A status hearing was set for January 15 to set a trial date then.The men appeared for both hearings via a video hookup from the Alexandria jail, handcuffed and wearing green jail jumpsuits. At their initial appearance Wednesday, the magistrate made an offhand remark that one of the two has tested positive for the coronavirus, but authorities have declined to confirm anything related to their medical status.The men were transferred from American military custody to stand trial in civilian court after the United Kingdom agreed to share evidence it had on the men. The information was shared only after US Attorney General William Barr promised that the men won’t face the death penalty.Five of the eight counts each man faces, though, carry a mandatory minimum life prison sentence if convicted.A Kurdish security officer escorts Alexanda Kotey, left, and El Shafee Elsheikh, who were allegedly among four British jihadis who made up a brutal Islamic State cell dubbed “The Beatles,” at a security center in Kobani, Syria, March 30, 2018. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla, FILE)-The charges capped a yearslong effort by US authorities to bring to justice suspected members of the group known for beheadings and barbaric treatment of aid workers, journalists and other hostages in Syria.Elsheikh and Kotey have been held since October 2019 in American military custody. They were captured in Syria one year before that by the US-supported Syrian Democratic Forces.Prosecutor Dennis Fitzpatrick said some of the evidence in the case is classified, which will require some pretrial hearings to be closed to the public to sort out how that evidence will be handled.“This involves a long investigation involving multiple countries,” Fitzpatrick said when asked about the volume of evidence that must be weighed.The indictment characterizes Kotey and Elsheikh, both of whom prosecutors say radicalized in London and left for Syria in 2012, as “leading participants in a brutal hostage-taking scheme” that targeted victims with mock executions, shocks with tasers, physical restraints and other brutal acts.
NY judge upholds limits on indoor prayers, rejecting lawsuit by Jewish group-After rabbis and synagogues call restrictions during holidays unconstitutional, court upholds rules that cap services in houses of worship at 10 people in virus hot spots-By Agencies-OCT 10,20-Today, 2:35 am
A federal judge refused on Friday to block New York’s plan to temporarily limit the size of religious gatherings in COVID-19 hot spots.US District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto issued the ruling after an emergency hearing in a lawsuit brought by rabbis and synagogues, arguing the restrictions were unconstitutional. They had sought to have enforcement delayed until at least after the Jewish holidays this weekend.The rules limit indoor prayer services to 10 people in areas where the virus is spreading fastest. In other areas within hot spots, indoor religious services are capped at 25 people.The restrictions apply in six designated areas in parts of New York City, Rockland and Orange counties, and part of Binghamton. Non-essential businesses and schools have also been shut down in some of those areas.Ruling from the bench, the judge said the state had an interest in protecting public safety.In their lawsuit, rabbis, leaders of synagogues and the national Orthodox Jewish group Agudath Israel had argued that Governor Andrew Cuomo was singling out Jews during the weeklong Sukkot holiday and this weekend’s Simchat Torah holiday, which marks the annual cycle of reading the Torah.“That targeting of a religious minority on the eve of its holidays is reason enough to reject all of defendant’s arguments and allow plaintiffs to celebrate their holidays this weekend as they have for over 2,000 years,” the groups argued in a Friday court filing.The Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn also filed a lawsuit challenging the restrictions.The Democratic governor’s attorneys argued in court filings he didn’t single out the Orthodox Jewish community for negative treatment, but instead “clarified that this community would not receive special treatment.” And he argued that houses of worship receive more favorable treatment than non-essential businesses in virus “red zones.”New York Governor Andrew Cuomo delivers a COVID-19 update during a briefing in New York City, September 29, 2020. (Kevin P. Coughlin/Office of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo via AP, File)“And a mass gathering is not less dangerous simply because it is religious in nature,” reads Cuomo’s filing. “Moreover, the right to practice religion freely does not include liberty to expose the community… to communicable disease.”Agudath Israel expressed disappointment in Friday’s decision in a tweet and promised to continue working on the issue after Shemini Atzeret, which begins Friday night.“Crushing Disappointment: Judge denies [temporary restraining order], allows draconian restrictions on religious worship in NY.

Agudah reminds everyone to follow health guidelines as we celebrate zman simchaseinu,” our time of joy. “We will regroup after” the holiday “and determine our next steps,” they said.The legal battle over Cuomo’s COVID-19 restrictions is expected to continue for months. Religious groups say large churches and temples built to accommodate hundreds of people can surely safety handle more than 10 or 25 people at a time, with the proper social distancing in place.Agudah Chairman Shlomo Werdiger expressed his regret over the ruling and called upon Cuomo and other government officials to be more solicitous of the community’s legitimate religious needs.“We appeal to our elected officials and executive agencies to work with us collaboratively in developing policies that both ensure good health and allow us to practice our faith. It shouldn’t be necessary to have to fight these things out in court,” he said.Cuomo’s administration is also fighting a June federal court ruling that said New York can’t impose stricter limits on religious gatherings than businesses. Since then, houses of worship and businesses statewide have had a 50% capacity limit, though New York City restaurants have a 25% limit.That lawsuit was originally filed by the conservative Thomas More Society, which expanded its suit Friday to charge Cuomo’s new hot spot plan puts him in contempt of court.New York has seen a steady rise in COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations since early September.The state has recorded 10,000 new infections over the past seven days, a level of spread not seen since May. An average of 698 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized each day over the past week, up from 457 for the last week of August. At the pandemic’s peak, nearly 19,000 New Yorkers were hospitalized.Cuomo warns much of the uptick is due to hot spots in Orthodox Jewish communities in New York City and suburban counties, on top of clusters linked to colleges and a Baptist church in upstate New York.Hundreds of Orthodox Jews rallied in Brooklyn’s Borough Park neighborhood on two nights this week to protest the restrictions.Police officers stand guard as groups of protesters gather in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Borough Park to denounce lockdowns of their neighborhood due to a spike in COVID-19 cases, October 7, 2020. (Spencer Platt/Getty Images/AFP)-One of the organizers of those demonstrations, Heshy Tischler, said Friday on social media that he had agreed to surrender to police next week amid allegations that he had instigated an attack on Jewish journalist Jacob Kornbluh during the protests.Authorities didn’t confirm there would be an arrest, saying only they were still investigating the confrontation involving Kornbluh, a reporter for Jewish Insider who has documented the coronavirus outbreak in Orthodox Jewish communities.At a protest Wednesday night, Tischler led a large group of men who chased and surrounded Kornbluh and trapped him against a storefront. Kornbluh said he had been punched and kicked during the incident and that he was planning to press charges.

Busy 2020 hurricane season has Louisiana bracing a 6th time[Associated Press]STACEY PLAISANCE and REBECCA SANTANA-October 7, 2020-

MORGAN CITY, La. (AP) — For the sixth time in the Atlantic hurricane season, people in Louisiana are once more fleeing the state's barrier islands and sailing boats to safe harbor while emergency officials ramp up command centers and consider ordering evacuations.The storm being watched Wednesday was Hurricane Delta, the 25th named storm of the Atlantic's unprecedented hurricane season. Forecasts placed most of Louisiana within Delta's path, with the latest National Hurricane Center estimating landfall in the state on Friday.The center's forecasters warned of winds that could gust well above 100 mph (160 kph) and up to 11 feet (3.4 meters) of ocean water potentially rushing onshore when the storm's center hits land."This season has been relentless,” Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said, dusting off his now common refrain of 2020 - “Prepare for the worst. Pray for the best.”So far, Louisiana has seen both major strikes and near misses. The southwest area of the state around Lake Charles, which forecasts show is on Delta's current trajectory, is still recovering from an Aug. 27 landfall by Category 4 Hurricane Laura.Nearly six weeks later, some 5,600 people remain in New Orleans hotels because their homes are too damaged to occupy. Trees, roofs and other debris left in Laura’s wake still sit by roadsides in the Lake Charles area waiting for pickup even as forecasters warned that Delta could be a larger than average storm.New Orleans spent a few days last month bracing for Hurricane Sally before it skirted to the east, making landfall in Alabama on Sept. 16-Delta is predicted to strengthen back into a Category 3 storm after hitting the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula on Wednesday, then weaken slightly as it approaches Louisiana. The National Hurricane Center forecast anticipated the storm will come ashore in a sparsely populated area between Cameron and Vermilion Bay.Edwards said President Donald Trump has agreed to sign a federal emergency declaration in advance for the state. The Democratic governor said he doesn't expect widespread mandatory evacuations.But Edwards said Wednesday that Delta is moving fast, so hurricane force winds could reach well inland, and expected heavy rains could cause flooding.Plywood, batteries and rope already were flying off the shelves at the Tiger Island hardware store in Morgan City, Louisiana, which would be close to the center of the storm’s path.“The other ones didn’t bother me, but this one seems like we’re the target,” customer Terry Guarisco said as a store employee helped him load his truck with plywood needed to board up his home.In Sulphur, across the Calcasieu River from Lake Charles, Ben Reynolds was deciding whether to leave or stay. He had to use a generator for power for a week after Hurricane Laura.“It’s depressing,” Reynolds said. “It’s scary as hell.”By sundown Wednesday, Acy Cooper planned to have his three shrimp boats locked down and tucked into a Louisiana bayou for the third time this season.“We’re not making any money,” Cooper said. “Every time one comes we end up losinga week or two-Lynn Nguyen, who works at the TLC Seafood Market in Abbeville, said each storm threat forces fisherman to spend days pulling hundreds of crab traps from the water or risk losing them.“It’s been a rough year. The minute you get your traps out and get fishing, its time to pull them out again because something is brewing out there," Nguyen said.Elsewhere in Abbeville, Wednesday brought another round of boarding up and planning, said Vermilion Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lynn Guillory.“I think that the stress is not just the stress of the storm this year, it’s everything – one thing after another," Guillory said. “Somebody just told me, ‘You know, we’ve really had enough.’"On Grand Isle, the Starfish restaurant planned to stay open until it ran out of food Wednesday. Restaurant employee Nicole Fantiny then planned to join the rush of people leaving the barrier island, where the COVID-19 pandemic already devastated the tourism industry.“The epidemic, the coronavirus, put a lot of people out of work. Now, having to leave once a month for these storms — it’s been taking a lot," said Fantiny. She tried to quit smoking two weeks ago but gave in and bought a pack of cigarettes Tuesday as Delta strengthened.While New Orleans has been mostly spared by the weather and found itself outside Delta’s cone Wednesday, constant vigilance and months as a COVID-19 hot spot have strained a vulnerable city still scarred by memories of 2005's Hurricane Katrina. Delta's shifting forecast track likely meant no need for a major evacuation, but the city's emergency officials were on alert.“We’ve had five near misses. We need to watch this one very, very closely,” New Orleans Emergency Director Collin Arnold said.Along with getting hit by Hurricane Laura and escaping Hurricane Sally, Louisiana saw heavy flooding June 7 from Tropical Storm Cristobal. Tropical Storm Beta prompted tropical storm warnings in mid-September as it slowly crawled up the northeast Texas coast.Tropical Storm Marco looked like it might deliver the first half of a hurricane double-blow with Laura, but nearly dissipated before hitting the state near the mouth of the Mississippi River on Aug. 24“.I don’t really remember all the names," Keith Dunn said as he loaded up his crab traps as a storm threatened for a fourth time this season in Theriot, a tiny bayou town just feet above sea level.And there are nearly eight weeks of hurricane season left, although forecasters at the National Weather Service office in New Orleans noted in a discussion Tuesday of this week's forecast that outside of Delta, the skies above the Gulf of Mexico look calm.“Not seeing any signs of any additional tropical weather in the extended which is OK with us because we are SO DONE with Hurricane Season 2020,” they wrote.Santana reported from New Orleans.

Delta adds insult to injury in hurricane-ravaged Louisiana-[Associated Press]-REBECCA SANTANA and STACEY PLAISANCE-October 10, 2020
LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — Ripping tarps from damaged roofs and scattering massive piles of storm debris in the wind and water, Hurricane Delta inflicted a new round of destruction in Louisiana communities along a path Hurricane Laura carved just six weeks earlier.Delta hit as a Category 2 hurricane with top winds of 100 mph (155 kph) before rapidly weakening over land. It was barely a tropical storm Saturday morning, with top winds of 40 mph (65 kph), but heavy rain, ocean water from the storm surge and flash floods continued to pose dangers from parts of Texas to Mississippi, where up to 10 inches of rain was predicted in places by day's end.Delta made landfall Friday evening near the coastal town of Creole — only 15 miles (24 kilometers) or so from where Laura struck land in August, killing 27 people in Louisiana.It then moved directly over Lake Charles, a waterfront city about 30 miles (50 kilometers) inland where the earlier hurricane damaged nearly every home and building, and where moldy mattresses, sawed-up trees and other debris still lined the streets.Lake Charles Mayor Nic Hunter spoke with The Associated Press as he rode out Delta's arrival downtown. He said tarps were flying off homes across the city, and piles of wreckage were being blown around, some of it floating in the surge of ocean water.“I’m in a building right now with a tarp on it and just the sound of the tarp flapping on the building sounds like someone pounding with a sledgehammer on top of the building,“ Hunter said. ”It’s pretty intense.”In Lake Arthur, Delta's winds peeled shingles off the roof of L’Banca Albergo, an eight-room boutique hotel in what used to be a bank.“I probably don’t have a shingle left on the top of this hotel,” owner Roberta Palermo said as the winds gusted outside.The electricity was out and Palermo said she could see pieces of metal coming off the roof of a 100-year-old building across the street. Unsecured trash cans were flying around the streets.“There is a lot of power lines down all over the place, there’s ... really deep water in certain spots,” said hotel guest Johnny Weaver. He had been out in the weather with his friends earlier and one friend’s car was stranded in the water.About 740,000 homes and businesses were without power in Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi early Saturday, according to the tracking website PowerOutage.us.In Lafayette, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) east of Lake Charles, drivers cautiously moved through dark intersections before dawn Saturday along a parkway where long stretches were left shrouded without electricity.“Rising water with all the rain is the biggest problem,” Calcasieu Sheriff Tony Mancuso told KPLC-TV on Saturday. “It’s still dangerous out there, and we’re just going to have to start over from a few weeks ago.”He said vehicles were overturned on Interstate-10 — a harsh lesson for anyone hoping to rush back into the disaster area.“I just think people need to use some good common sense,” Mancuso said.No deaths were attributed to Delta as of early Saturday, but a hurricane's wake can be treacherous. Only seven of the deaths attributed to Laura came the day that hurricane struck. A leading cause of the others was carbon monoxide poisoning from generators used in places without electricity. Others died in accidents while cleaning up.Delta has swirled over a wide swath of the U.S., with tropical storm force winds reaching 160 miles (260 kilometers) outward. Dangerous gusts were reported at LSU's Tiger Stadium and at the Adams County airport in Natchez, Mississippi. Winds blew down the steeple at the Mount Triumph Baptist Church in Jennings, Louisiana.In Galveston, Texas, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) from where the center made landfall, winds toppled trees, street signs and two homes under construction, and with dunes flattened by earlier storms, the surge reached beneath raised houses. Large swells and rip currents prompted beach closures as far west as the mouth of the Rio Grande.Delta also downed trees across Mississippi, including one that landed on a Jackson-based WLBT-TV vehicle with a news crew inside. No one was injured.At 7 a.m. local time, it was centered about 45 miles (70 kilometers) east of Monroe, Louisiana. Forecasters said Delta's remnants would move into the Tennessee Valley Saturday and into Sunday, possibly spinning off tornadoes and dumping up to 3 inches of rain that could cause flash flooding in the southern Appalachians.Delta, the 25th named storm of an unprecedented Atlantic hurricane season, made the record books when it struck the Gulf Coast. It was the first Greek-alphabet-named hurricane to hit the continental U.S. And it became the 10th named storm to hit the mainland U.S. this year, breaking a century-old record set in 1916, according to Colorado State University researcher Phil Klotzbach.Delta was the fourth named storm to strike Louisiana in 2020. Tropical Storm Marco fizzled as it hit the southeast Louisiana tip just three days before Laura struck. And Tropical Storm Cristobal caused damage in southeast Louisiana in June.Some who rode out Laura hunkered down again with Delta. Jeanne-Marie Gove could hear debris hitting her door in Lafayette as her patio gate banged open and shut. She said the roof from a trailer at the mobile home park behind her apartment was torn off and tossed down the sidewalk.“The wind gusts are making the glass from our windows bow inward," Gove tweeted. “It’s pretty scary.”Hunter said he thought more people evacuated for Delta than Laura, reducing emergency calls during the worst of the storm. Across the disaster area, people could only wait for the waters to recede before getting a full view of the damage.“I believe that Delta could actually be more of a flooding issue than Laura was from what I’m seeing and what I’m hearing right now in the thick of it,” the mayor said Friday night.“We really just need people not to forget about us,” Hunter said. "We are going to be in the recovery mode for months and probably years from these two hurricanes. It’s just unprecedented and historic what has happened to us.”__Associated Press contributors include Melinda Deslatte in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Gerald Herbert in Lake Charles, Louisiana; Kevin McGill in New Orleans; Seth Borenstein in Kensington, Maryland; Russ Bynum in Savannah, Georgia; Leah Willingham in Jackson, Mississippi; and Sophia Tulp in Atlanta.

Firefighters continue to battle blazes that forced thousands to flee their homes-Firefighting planes renew aerial bombardments of flames; commander says residents not in danger ‘at this stage’ as majority allowed to return-By TOI staff-oct 10,20-Today, 10:40 am
Firefighters continued on Saturday morning to battle the blazes in northern Israel that forced thousands of people to flee their homes a day earlier.Firefighting teams worked to extinguish blazes near the town of Nof Hagalil after around 5,000 residents were evacuated on Friday.The majority were permitted to return on Saturday, the Walla news site reported, with engineers performing checks on some damaged homes.Channel 12 news reported that there were still fires burning in the Churchill Forest near the town on Saturday morning and that 3,000 dunams (741 acres) had been destroyed so far.The scene where a fire broke out in near Misgav Am, northern Israel, on October 9, 2020 (Basel Awidat/Flash90)-Northern firefighter commander Nizar Fares said that six firefighting planes had resumed operations in the area.“Firefighters continue to stubbornly fight to stop the spread of fire and protect the residents of Nof Hagalil and their homes,” said Fares. “Overnight we prepared for the continuation of the campaign, and at this stage the residents are not in any danger. The firefighting efforts will continue throughout the day. I call on the public to obey the instructions of the emergency bodies.”The Kan public broadcaster reported an additional fire broke out in the Mount Dov region, near the Lebanon border.@rubih67 pic.twitter.com/ihIHJXYmWQ —(@kann_news) October 10, 2020-Dozens of homes were destroyed or damaged at a number of locations on Friday as wildfires raged across the country. Two people were treated by paramedics for smoke inhalation.Firefighter chief Dedi Simchi told Channel 12 that his forces battled 250 fires on Friday, including seven major blazes.Simchi said investigators were starting to probe the cause of the fires, but that arson was suspected in most cases.“We believe that most will be found to have been caused by human factors, we don’t yet know if it was negligence or deliberate,” he said, noting that Israel does not suffer from frequent lightning strikes.The Ynet news site quoted unnamed security officials as saying that there was concern some of the fires in the West Bank may have been deliberately started by Palestinians. Palestinian arson was widely blamed for many of the fires in 2016, but ultimately no one was prosecuted for nationalistically-motivated arson.Palestinian sources said several blazes were caused by IDF smoke and tear gas canisters fired during clashes with Palestinian protesters.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday held urgent consultations on the fires, saying that he would call for international assistance if the situation deteriorated.“I received updates from the fire department chief and I asked him to ensure that we are using all our resources, and if need be, consider international assistance,” Netanyahu tweeted after meeting with internal security, police, and National Security Council officials.A statement from his office said that he was assured that currently, the situation was under control and that firefighters were being assisted by the police and the Israel Defense Force’s Home Front Command.A fire rages near the Kfar HaOranim settlement in the West Bank, October 9, 2020 (Yossi Aloni/Flash90)-Israel formed a regional fire-fighting alliance with Cyprus and Greece after Israel was devastated in 2016 by a series of brushfires that burned tens of thousands of acres, wounded some 200 people, and damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes.The country was forced to ask allies to send firefighting planes and other equipment and personnel to help fight the blazes, that were also largely caused by a late fall heatwave with dry weather and strong winds.Palestinians fight a fire that was reportedly caused by tear gas canisters fired by Israeli soldiers while trying to block protesters from reaching an Israeli settler outpost, in the West Bank village of Beit Dajan, east of Nablus, Friday, Oct. 9, 2020.

Some 13 firefighting teams were at the scene and working to douse the flames. Residents were evacuated from the Arab village, as well as from nearby Kafr Qara and Ar’ara.Blazes had also broken out near the towns of Hadera, Emek Hefer, Nazareth, Umm al-Qutuf, Fureidis, Margaliot and Lapidot.Elsewhere in the West Bank, the Palestinian Civil Defense was fighting 60 fires across areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority, the agency said.A rare October heatwave ramped up over Israel on Thursday, bringing blazing temperatures to many parts of the country as an alarmingly hot summer and fall continued to grip the region.
Mideast wildfires kill 2, force thousands to flee homes-[Associated Press]-October 10, 2020
