Trump team on damage control after Huckabee comments on Israel
A major earthquake struck a coastal region this morning, causing extensive infrastructure damage and triggering emergency evacuations. Authorities reported dozens of injuries and are assessing schools, hospitals, and residential areas for safety. Local teams appealed for medical supplies and shelter as aftershocks continued to be felt.
Officials urged residents to avoid coastal areas due to the risk of tsunamis and to follow evacuation routes to designated centers. Pregnant people, children, and the elderly were prioritized for evacuation, with shelters opening across multiple towns. International aid requests were being coordinated through regional agencies.
In the aftermath, rescue workers faced challenging conditions as power outages and blocked roads hindered access to affected neighborhoods. Community volunteers distributed food and water while search teams used drones and dogs to locate missing residents. Authorities promised a rapid casualty and damage assessment to plan ongoing relief efforts.
