Gaza has been dying from cold and hunger for over a year, while Los Angeles burns: Why is the attention not equal?"

While the entire world watches the fires of Los Angeles with sympathy and solidarity, the Gaza Strip has been living in daily hell for more than a year and a half. Our children are dying not only from the flames of war but also from hunger and deadly cold.

Just last week, we lost eight children to the cold—innocent children who found no blanket to keep them warm or food to fill their empty stomachs.

Donate to save Salma and my family and help them face this cold and hunger. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a huge difference in our lives.

Please donate for the sake of my daughter.

A New Year's Resolution in Action: Donating to the Canadian Red Cross for Alberta Wildfires Shaina Tranquilino August 2, 2024

As we step into the month of August, I find myself reflecting on one of my New Year’s resolutions that has become a deeply fulfilling part of my year: dedicating each month to supporting a different organization that resonates with me. This personal commitment not only allows me to contribute to causes I care about but also helps me stay connected to the pressing issues our world faces.

For the month of August, I have chosen to direct my support to the Canadian Red Cross, particularly to aid their efforts in combating the devastating Alberta Wildfires. The choice to support the Red Cross was influenced by the recent news reports and stories of those affected by the wildfires. The sheer scale of the disaster and the human impact it has created a strong urge within me to lend a helping hand.

Why the Canadian Red Cross?

The Canadian Red Cross is renowned for its swift and effective response in times of crisis. With its extensive network and resources, the organization has been on the front lines, providing essential services to those displaced and affected by the Alberta Wildfires. Their work includes emergency relief, evacuation support, and long-term recovery assistance. By donating, I am not only contributing to immediate relief efforts but also supporting the broader recovery and rebuilding initiatives that will help communities get back on their feet.

The Impact of Your Donation

Even a small contribution can make a significant difference in disaster relief efforts. The Canadian Red Cross utilizes donations to supply basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter, as well as to fund critical services like mental health support and community rebuilding. Knowing that my donation will help provide these vital resources is incredibly motivating and reinforces the value of my resolution.

How You Can Get Involved

If this cause speaks to you as it did to me, there are several ways you can contribute:

Make a Donation: Visit the Canadian Red Cross website to make a financial contribution. Every dollar helps in the fight against the wildfires and supports those in need.

Volunteer: Consider offering your time and skills to support local relief efforts. Volunteers play a crucial role in disaster response and recovery.

Spread the Word: Share information about the Alberta Wildfires and the Canadian Red Cross on social media to raise awareness and encourage others to contribute.

Stay Informed: Keep up with the latest updates on the situation and the Red Cross’s efforts to better understand the ongoing needs and how you can help.

My journey of donating to a different organization each month has been a rewarding experience, offering a sense of purpose and connection to various causes. August’s focus on supporting the Canadian Red Cross and their critical work in response to the Alberta Wildfires is a reminder of the power of collective action and compassion. By coming together to support those in need, we can make a tangible impact and help build a stronger, more resilient community.

As the wildfires continue to affect countless lives, I encourage you to join me in supporting this vital cause. Together, we can contribute to the relief and recovery efforts that will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected.

Here's to making a positive impact, one month at a time. https://www.canadahelps.org/en/crisis-relief-center/jasper-alberta-wildfire-relief-crc/?utm_source=landingpage&utm_medium=CHcrc&utm_campaign=homepagerotator

Part 2: What to Do When You're in the Midst of a Forest Fire: Essential Safety Tips Shaina Tranquilino August 2, 2024

Forest fires can be sudden and terrifying, posing severe risks to anyone in their path. Whether you're a hiker, camper, or resident in a fire-prone area, understanding how to respond in the midst of a forest fire is crucial for your safety. Here’s a comprehensive guide on what to do if you find yourself caught in the midst of a forest fire.

1. Stay Informed

Monitor Alerts and Updates: If you’re in an area prone to wildfires, always stay informed about local fire conditions. Use a battery-powered radio, smartphone, or other reliable sources to receive updates from emergency services. Understanding the fire’s location and direction will help you make informed decisions.

Know Your Escape Routes: Before heading into a forested area, familiarize yourself with potential evacuation routes and safe zones. This preparation can save precious time during an emergency.

2. Find a Safe Location

Seek Shelter: If you are near a fire, your primary goal is to find a safe location away from the flames and smoke. Ideally, move towards a cleared area or an open field where the fire is less likely to spread. Avoid dense forests or areas with heavy vegetation, as these will fuel the fire.

Avoid Areas with Flammable Materials: Stay away from areas with a lot of dry brush, logs, or dead trees. Fires can spread rapidly in such environments.

3. Protect Yourself from Smoke and Heat

Cover Your Mouth and Nose: Use a cloth, mask, or piece of clothing to cover your mouth and nose to reduce inhalation of smoke and harmful particles. If you have a specialized smoke mask, use it.

Stay Low: Smoke rises, so staying close to the ground can help you breathe cleaner air. Crouch or lie down if necessary, and keep your head low.

Protect Your Skin: Wear long sleeves and pants to protect your skin from heat and embers. If you have access to a fire-resistant blanket or clothing, use it to shield yourself from intense heat.

4. Manage Your Escape

Move Perpendicularly to the Fire: If you need to move, travel perpendicular to the direction of the fire’s spread. Moving directly away from the fire might not always be the safest option, as fires can change direction rapidly.

Stay Calm and Assess the Situation: Avoid panicking. Take a moment to assess your surroundings, plan your route, and proceed with caution. Ensure you are not walking into areas that may lead to further danger.

Avoid Using Vehicles: If you’re driving and become trapped, stay in your vehicle. It can offer some protection from heat and flying embers. Keep windows rolled up and use the air conditioning on recirculate mode if possible.

5. Signal for Help

Use Visual and Audible Signals: If you are in distress and need rescue, use a whistle, flare, or mirror to signal for help. If you have a smartphone with a signal, call emergency services and provide them with your exact location.

Stay Visible: Make yourself as visible as possible to rescuers by staying in open areas where you can be easily spotted. Avoid hiding in dense vegetation.

6. After the Fire

Check for Updates: Once you are safe, continue to monitor updates from authorities regarding the fire’s status and any potential hazards in your area.

Be Cautious of Hazardous Conditions: After the fire has passed, be wary of hazards such as smoldering embers, falling trees, and weakened structures. Avoid returning to your home or campsite until it has been declared safe by authorities.

Seek Medical Attention: If you experience symptoms of smoke inhalation or burns, seek medical attention immediately. Even minor injuries can become serious if left untreated.

Being prepared and knowing how to act in the event of a forest fire can significantly increase your chances of staying safe. By staying informed, protecting yourself from smoke and heat, and managing your escape effectively, you can navigate this dangerous situation with greater confidence. Always prioritize your safety and follow the guidance of emergency services to ensure a safe outcome in the face of such a challenging crisis.

Remember, preparation is key. By understanding these steps and being ready to act, you can better protect yourself and others in the event of a forest fire.

आगरा-लखनऊ एक्सप्रेसवे पर भीषण सड़क हादसा, चार श्रद्धालुओं की मौत, 25 घायल

उत्तर प्रदेश के आगरा जिले में शनिवार तड़के एक दर्दनाक सड़क हादसा हुआ। लखनऊ-आगरा एक्सप्रेसवे पर एक तेज रफ्तार डबल डेकर बस आगे चल रहे ट्रक में जा घुसी। इस हादसे में चार श्रद्धालुओं की मौके पर ही मौत हो गई, जबकि 25 अन्य घायल हो गए। दुर्घटना की सूचना मिलते ही पुलिस और यूपीडा की टीम घटनास्थल पर पहुंच गई और राहत एवं बचाव कार्य शुरू किया। कैसे हुआ हादसा? यह हादसा आगरा के फतेहाबाद थाना क्षेत्र में हुआ, जब वाराणसी और प्रयागराज से महाकुंभ में शामिल होकर श्रद्धालु जयपुर लौट रहे थे। शनिवार सुबह करीब 5:30 बजे तेज रफ्तार स्लीपर कोच बस नियंत्रण खो बैठी और आगे चल रहे ट्रक में जा घुसी। टक्कर इतनी जोरदार थी कि बस का अगला हिस्सा बुरी तरह क्षतिग्रस्त हो गया। प्रत्यक्षदर्शियों के अनुसार, हादसे के समय बस में सवार यात्री गहरी नींद में थे। अचानक हुए इस टक्कर के कारण बस में चीख-पुकार मच गई। स्थानीय लोगों और राहगीरों ने तुरंत पुलिस को सूचना दी, जिसके बाद बचाव अभियान शुरू किया गया। पुलिस और यूपीडा की टीम ने खिड़कियां तोड़कर बस में फंसे लोगों को बाहर निकाला। मृतकों और घायलों की सूची मृतकों के नाम: - दीपक वर्मा (किशोरपुरा पुलिया, लोहामंडी, आगरा) - गोविंद लाल (महावीर नगर, जोधपुर) - रमेश सिंह (गजानंद कॉलोनी, जोधपुर) - बबलू (चुनार, मिर्जापुर) घायलों के नाम: - सोनिया शर्मा (मुंबई) - नीलू शर्मा (मुंबई) - चिराग (राजकोट) - अपूर्व गुप्ता (गुरुग्राम) - गर्विता शर्मा (रामबाग, आगरा) - कमलेश (राजकोट, गुजरात) - देवीदास (मुंबई) - कोमल देवी (मुंबई) - तुलसी भाई (भावनगर, गुजरात) - शिल्पा बेन (भावनगर, गुजरात) - रविंद्र (गोवर्धन, मथुरा) - दीपक (गोवर्धन, मथुरा) - हीरा (गोवर्धन, मथुरा) - विमला (राजकोट, गुजरात) - रियाज अहमद (भदोही) - रामभजन (अछनेरा, आगरा) - मनीषा (राजकोट, गुजरात) धमाके ��े बाद मची अफरा-तफरी प्रत्यक्षदर्शियों के मुताबिक, टक्कर के बाद एक जोरदार धमाका हुआ, जिससे श्रद्धालुओं में दहशत फैल गई। कुछ यात्री बस में फंस गए थे, जिन्हें बाहर निकालने के लिए खिड़कियां तोड़ी गईं। पुलिस और यूपीडा की टीम ने तत्परता दिखाते हुए बस में फंसे लोगों को निकाला और घायलों को नजदीकी फतेहाबाद सामुदायिक स्वास्थ्य केंद्र (सीएचसी) में भर्ती कराया। गंभीर रूप से घायल यात्रियों को आगरा के एस.एन. मेडिकल कॉलेज रेफर किया गया। ड्राइवर को आई झपकी, तेज रफ्तार बनी वजह? प्रारंभिक जांच में यह सामने आया है कि बस तेज गति में थी और संभवतः चालक को झपकी आ गई थी। इससे वह बस पर नियंत्रण खो बैठा और आगे चल रहे ट्रक में टक्कर मार दी। पुलिस ने ड्राइवर और बस ऑपरेटर के खिलाफ मामला दर्ज कर जांच शुरू कर दी है। प्रशासन ने दिए जांच के आदेश आगरा प्रशासन ने इस हादसे की उच्चस्तरीय जांच के आदेश दिए हैं। अधिकारियों ने कहा है कि अगर बस चालक की लापरवाही पाई गई तो कड़ी कार्रवाई की जाएगी। मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ ने भी घटना पर दुख जताते हुए मृतकों के परिवारों के प्रति संवेदना व्यक्त की है और घायलों के शीघ्र स्वस्थ होने की कामना की है। अगरा-लखनऊ एक्सप्रेसवे पर बढ़ते हादसे चिंता का विषय यह पहली बार नहीं है जब आगरा-लखनऊ एक्सप्रेसवे पर इस तरह का बड़ा हादसा हुआ है। पिछले कुछ महीनों में इस एक्सप्रेसवे पर कई भीषण सड़क दुर्घटनाएं हो चुकी हैं, जिनमें दर्जनों लोगों की जान जा चुकी है। विशेषज्ञों का मानना है कि इस एक्सप्रेसवे पर तेज रफ्तार और चालक की थकान सबसे बड़ी वजहें बन रही हैं। 2023 के अंत में एक दर्दनाक हादसा हुआ था, जब एक निजी बस ट्रक से टकरा गई थी, जिसमें 6 लोगों की मौत हो गई थी और 20 से अधिक घायल हो गए थे। इसके अलावा, जनवरी 2024 में एक अन्य दुर्घटना में 10 लोगों की जान चली गई थी। ऐसे न जाने कितने हादसे अब तक इस एक्सप्रेसवे पर हो चुके हैं। खासकर फतेहाबाद - आगरा सेक्शन तो खूनी सेक्शन के रूप में बदनाम हो चूका है। इसका कारण है कि इस सेक्शन पर सबसे अधिक ट्रक चलते देखे जाते है��� जो लगभग पूरी सड़क घेर कर चलते हैं और बिना कोई संकेतक इस्तेमाल किये सहूलियत अनुसार लेन बदलते रहते हैं, जिसके कारण इस सेक्शन पर दुर्घटनाएं अधिक होती हैं। वहीँ यूपीडा और यातायात पुलिस के मुताबिक, एक्सप्रेसवे पर स्पीड लिमिट का पालन न करना, ओवरटेकिंग और वाहन चालकों की लापरवाही लगातार बढ़ते हादसों की मुख्य वजह बन रही है। कई मामलों में चालक लंबी द���री तय करने के दौरान पर्याप्त आराम नहीं कर पाते, जिससे थकान के चलते वाहन पर नियंत्रण खो बैठते हैं। हादसे के बाद एक्सप्रेसवे पर यातायात प्रभावित हुआ, लेकिन पुलिस और यूपीडा कर्मियों ने स्थिति को जल्द ही नियंत्रित कर लिया। क्षतिग्रस्त बस और ट्रक को क्रेन की मदद से हटाया गया, जिससे यातायात सामान्य हो सका। स्थानीय लोगों की मदद से बचाए गए यात्री इस हादसे में स्थानीय लोगों ने भी पुलिस और प्रशासन के साथ मिलकर बचाव अभियान में मदद की। घायलों को अस्पताल पहुंचाने में एंबुलेंस सेवा को सक्रिय किया गया। राहत और बचाव कार्य अब भी जारी है। यात्रियों से अपील पुलिस ने निजी वाहन से लंबी दूरी की यात्रा कर रहे यात्रियों से अपील की है कि वे अपनी सुरक्षा के लिए सीट बेल्ट का उपयोग करें और वाहन चालकों को नियमित अंतराल पर आराम करने की सलाह दें ताकि इस तरह की दुर्घटनाओं को टाला जा सके। वहीँ बस चालकों को भी एक्सप्रेसवे पर निश्चित दूरी पर बने रेस्ट स्टॉप पर रुकते हुए यात्रा करने की सलाह दी है। Read the full article
