Dense fog engulfed Pakistan’s Punjab province, particularly impacting Lahore, now ranked as the world’s second most polluted city due to its high air pollution levels. The city’s air quality index reached a staggering 414 micrograms, causing visibility to plummet to just 10 meters. Multiple highways shut down to avert potential accidents as authorities urge drivers to avoid unnecessary travel, hinting at a possible extension of the ongoing school holiday. Similar foggy conditions prevail in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh provinces.
The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that Israel’s attacks on Gaza have killed 62,895 people and injured 158,927 since October 7, 2023. In the last 24 hours alone, 76 people were killed and 298 injured.
At aid distribution points, deaths have risen to 2,158, with nearly 16,000 wounded. The ministry also said 10 more civilians, including two children, died of starvation, bringing Gaza’s hunger-related death toll to 313.
