An overcrowded bus toppled on its side after one of its tire burst while travelling on a road at the Kolkata city in India’s West Bengal state. During those moments, some of the passengers fell out from the side windows and crashed under the toppled bus. While there wasn’t any loss of life in the incident, a total of 27 people, including 7 children aged between 9 and 17, were injured in the accident. While the driver of the bus fled the scene, it’s been reported that there were 50 people on the bus. After the incident, West Bengal Transport Minister Firhad Hakim has given order that all the buses unfit to enter the traffic to be confiscated.
Speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, King Abdullah II of Jordan warned that Israel’s expansion of its offensive to include Iran threatens global security, stating, “It is impossible to say where the borders of this battlefield will end. This is a threat to people all over the world.”
He strongly criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza, saying, “Today, the world is in a state of moral collapse. What was once seen as an atrocity—like the bombing of a hospital—has become commonplace. Since then, the WHO has documented nearly 700 attacks on Gaza’s healthcare facilities.”
“The targeting of civilians, health workers, and journalists has become routine. Famine is being used as a weapon against children,” he added.
King Abdullah called on the international community to act not only in Ukraine but also in Palestine: “The world’s longest and most destructive conflict must end. Palestinians deserve freedom, sovereignty, and statehood, like all people.”
He warned that without decisive action, Israeli bulldozers “will also flatten the borders that define moral conduct.” Reaffirming Jordan’s commitment to peace, he said the only solution lies in a just peace based on international law and mutual recognition.
