Dwindling fuel supplies for Gaza’s hospital generators put premature babies in incubators at risk. The fuel damages are due to the Israeli blockade of Gaza. At least seven of the almost 30 hospitals have been forced to shut down due to the damage.

The upcoming United States winter looks likely to be low on snow and extreme cold outbreaks, with federal forecasters predicting the north to get warmer than normal and the south wetter and stormier.
