Drownings rise at beaches; visitors ignore warnings, not enough divers
1 2 3 Kochi: The drowning incidents at the district's beaches, including of two Yemeni students at Valappu on Monday, have raised serious safety concerns and once again highlighted the need for adequate deployment of swimmers or divers near prominent beach destinations. The 13 major and minor beaches in Ernakulam, where lifeguards are insufficient, have been witnessing repeated drowning incidents. The Yemenis — on an excursion from a Coimbatore college — went missing after venturing into the sea to take a bath around 12.30pm on Monday. A 21-year-old, part of a three-member group, drowned at Puthuvype while another two persons, belonging to an 11-member group, went missing at Cherai. "The rising drowning incidents are mainly due to a lack of awareness about the dangers of sea swimming," said Sebastian of Kochi-Chellanam Janakeeya Vedi. "Groups of young people often visit beaches and many of them who are under the influence of alcohol ignore local residents' warnings," he said. Sebastian said 11 people drowned at Puthenthodu Beach alone in recent years. "With Fort Kochi Beach polluted, more people are now flocking to Chellanam and Kannamaly beaches. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo However, most of these beaches lack lifeguards. The northern part of Puthenthodu Beach is dangerous especially during rough weather, but visitors pay no heed to warnings from local fishers," he said. Sebastian added that police patrol in the area is only occasional. Even after repeated incidents, swimmers or divers are not deployed properly at many beaches where hundreds gather on weekends and during special occasions. District tourism promotion council secretary Lijo John said tourism authorities have posted 32 lifeguards at Munambam, Cherai and Fort Kochi beaches, which have been officially declared as tourism destinations. He said tourism department cannot deploy lifeguards at other beaches as it is the responsibility of the coastal police and respective local bodies. The tourism department also plans to deploy lifeguards at Kuzhippilly Beach as it has become a major tourism destination. "We have put up signboards and banners at all major beaches aiming to prevent drowning accidents," said a source at the office of tourism deputy director, Ernakulam. Coastal police, meanwhile, said that while they have been deploying personnel at beaches, it is not practical to carry out continuous patrolling everywhere at all beaches simultaneously due to a shortage of adequate manpower. "For instance, since we are heading into a long weekend, we have deployed police personnel at all main beaches in the district. At the same time, it is important that visitors listen to the residents and other authorities. Visitors should think twice before entering unfamiliar waters and stay away from water bodies when they are inundated," said a coastal police official.

Sudan: 5 killed in attack on aid convoy, UN says
Five aid workers were killed in an attack on a convoy in Sudan, preventing food deliveries to families who face starvation in the war-torn Darfur region, UN agencies said on Tuesday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The attack on the 15-truck convoy happened Monday night near the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)-controlled town of Koma in North Darfur province. "Five members of the convoy were killed and several more people were injured. Multiple trucks were burned, and critical humanitarian supplies were damaged," Unicef and the World Food Programme (WFP) said in a joint statement. Both agencies called for an investigation into the attack, which they said was a violation of international humanitarian law. "It is devastating that the supplies have not reached the vulnerable children and families they were intended to," the statement added. The agencies did not specify who was behind the attack. The UN said those killed and injured were Sudanese contractors working for WFP and Unicef. Warring parties trade blame for attack: The aid agencies said the convoy was attacked while trying to access el-Fasher city, which is one of the last strongholds of the Sudanese military in Darfur. Since 2024, el-Fasher has been under siege by RSF forces. The trucks had traveled more than 1,800 kilometres (1,100 miles) from the eastern city of Port Sudan on the Red Sea. "This was the first UN humanitarian convoy that was going to make it to el-Fasher in over one year," UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters at UN headquarters in New York. The RSF claimed in a statement the convoy was hit by a military aircraft in a "pre-planned attack." Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, Sudan's military-led government rejected this and said in a statement that aid trucks were "treacherously attacked by assault drones operated by the rebel Rapid Support Forces militia." Neither of the reports could be independently verified. Famine ravaging Sudan: Since fighting between RSF paramilitary group and Sudan's military-controlled government began two years ago, Sudan has been engulfed by what the UN has called the world's worst humanitarian crisis, with more than a million people on the brink of starvation in the North Darfur state alone. The fighting has killed tens of thousands of people, uprooted 13 million people and created dire hunger and displacement crises. Four million people have fled across Sudan's borders, the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) said on Tuesday.
