Beware of severe allergic reactions from eating sea fish, following a case where a young woman developed red rashes across her body and experienced shortness of breath, similar to drowning, after eating just one fried mackerel.

The death toll in Venezuela could soar to tens of thousands after two consecutive powerful earthquakes, or "twin earthquakes," measuring 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude. The tremors caused many buildings in Caracas (the country's capital) to collapse. Officials are currently rushing rescue operations in the heavily damaged areas.
Navigation through the Strait of Hormuz faces increased risks after Iranian forces attacked a Singapore-flagged cargo ship. This strait is a vital shipping route in the Middle East used for transporting oil and goods worldwide. This incident may impact the safety of maritime shipping in the region.
