Amir Hagag South African authorities have announced the evacuation of 198 homes in Cape Town due to a massive fire that erupted around Table Mountain. As a precautionary measure, Disaster Risk Management assisted in evacuating 198 homes in Noordhoek Manor, which included 48 residents from care facilities. Residents of Barnyard and Silwersten also opted to evacuate, as mentioned by Jermaine Carlisle, spokesperson for the City of Cape Town Fire and Rescue Service. According to Africa News, the fire caused significant damage in several hard-to-reach areas of the mountain, leading the municipality to advise hundreds of families to leave their homes for safety reasons. Currently, at least 100 firefighters are engaged in combating the flames across five fronts, with evacuation orders extended to Steenberg Estate and Noordhoek Manor. Carlisle noted that the fires broke out last Friday in an area known as Tokai, and by Monday morning, there had been no new flare-ups reported. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
