In Gaza, pictures of hunger and history

How does the world make sense of the images coming from Gaza? Where will they fit into history? The pictures didn't sneak up on anyone. They were inevitable. For months people have known about the increasing hunger in the region. When the war there began after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, early news photographs showed anxious Palestinians clustered together with their pots and buckets and whatever container they had handy hoping to get a share of the sustenance delivered by aid workers. Donations of food have long been part of life in Gaza. The desperation in these pictures was palpable and worrisome.

Senior citizens evacuated in hot weather after electrical fire at Philadelphia apartment complex

Residents of a senior apartment complex were evacuated on a hot evening as firefighters worked to put out an electrical fire that broke out at the complex Tuesday, officials said. It's the second electrical fire at the complex in the last five weeks. The fire broke out at the Courtyard Apartments at Riverview, on South 4th Street near Washington Avenue in Queen Village, just before 7 p.m. Tuesday. It took firefighters more than five hours to get the blaze under control. Philadelphia Second Alarmers provided rehab services to firefighters as they fought through hot and humid conditions, and SEPTA brought out a cooling bus for residents. "All my food is trashed, and I'm not reimbursed, not one nickel," resident Sam Holbrook said. "No excuses given, we tried to reach the corporate office in New Jersey, and they just put a wall up." In June, hundreds of firefighters evacuated over 200 residents from the building after an electrical fire. PECO had to shut off power for several hours. "I got the text this morning, outage undetermined," Holbrook said. "That is unacceptable, because if it happened twice, it's going to happen again." We're working to find out how many people were evacuated, if the building is still without electricity, and when things will be back to normal. A spokesperson for the American Red Cross said a temporary shelter was established at Kensington High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, but was awaiting information on whether any Riverview residents used the shelter. This is a developing story and will be updated.
