A minibus plunged 120 meters off a cliff in Santiago, Nuevo Leon, northern Mexico, killing 12 people and injuring four. The vehicle caught fire upon impact, igniting a forest fire. A helicopter was deployed to contain the flames.
Santiago Mayor David de la Peña said an initial investigation pointed to mechanical failure as the cause. The incident follows a similar crash on March 11 in Oaxaca, where 11 people died.
The UN Integrated Food Security Stage Classification (IPC) officially declared a famine in Gaza City and surrounding areas, warning that over 500,000 people face “catastrophic” conditions. Another 1.7 million are in emergency levels, with nearly all agriculture destroyed and food access critically restricted since March.
UN officials said the famine is “entirely man-made” and blamed Israel’s obstruction of aid deliveries. Human rights chief Volker Türk warned that deaths from starvation may constitute war crimes. Israel rejected the report, calling it based on “Hamas’s lies.”
