An Israeli strike on a media tent outside a Gaza hospital kills and wounds journalists

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinian hospital officials say Israel struck a news media tent outside a hospital in the Gaza Strip, killing a local reporter and one other person and wounding six other journalists. The Israeli military says the strike targeted a man whom it identified as a Hamas militant posing as a journalist. Medics say at least 32 other people were killed in separate attacks. Israel has carried out waves of strikes across Gaza and ground forces have carved out new military zones since it ended its ceasefire with Hamas last month. Israel has barred the importation of food, fuel, medicine and humanitarian aid for well over a month.

BANGKOK (AP) — Long-shot efforts to find survivors from Myanmar’s devastating March 28 earthquake are winding down, as rescue efforts get supplanted by increasing relief and recovery activity, with the death toll from the disaster hitting 3,600 and still climbing. People in the capital Naypyitaw cleared debris and collected wood from their damaged houses under drizzling rain on Monday, and soldiers removed wreckage at some Buddhist monasteries.

It said international rescuers from Singapore, Malaysia and India had returned to their countries after their work to find survivors was considered completed.

Garbage piles up on streets of UK’s second-largest city after sanitation strike

LONDON (AP) — Stinky garbage is piling up on the streets of the U.K.’s second-largest city and causing chaos a month into a strike by trash collectors. Talks on Monday failed to reach an agreement, but they were scheduled to resume Tuesday. Members of Unite, the union representing garbage workers, walked off the job March 11 over the elimination of a job position and painful pay cuts. The council says it’s made a reasonable offer and pay cuts would only affect a small number of workers. Mountains of trash are said to be visible from space and people have complained of seeing rats as big as cats.
