Ten days after a 6.8 magnitude earthquake in Morocco, a donkey was rescued from the rubble by a team from the Central and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service. The rescue operation in the village of Imni-n-Isli near Marrakech was conducted with the assistance of a structural engineer. The donkey received medical attention, and its owner expressed gratitude.
The earthquake has resulted in 2,901 fatalities and 5,530 injuries in Morocco
Palestinians celebrated the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas after indirect talks in Egypt, marking the first step of a broader peace plan involving hostage exchanges and Israeli troop withdrawals. Crowds, including children displaced by Israeli attacks, gathered around Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital to celebrate the end of the fighting. Residents in Maghazi Refugee Camp expressed hopes for rebuilding Gaza and establishing a Palestinian state. “Thank God, the war is over. Our homes were destroyed, and our children killed. We thank everyone who helped end this war,” said Yasser Abu Hein. Others shared optimism that Gaza would “return better than before.”
Israel confirmed that the ceasefire would begin following a cabinet vote later in the day.
