LA fire conditions worsen; death toll rises expected. Fires continue despite progress, high winds pose threat to containment.

Crews in Los Angeles are facing worsening fire conditions as the death toll from the ongoing fires is expected to rise.

While firefighters have made progress against the largest blaze, resurgent winds threaten to exacerbate the situation.

Governor Gavin Newsom indicated that these fires could represent the worst natural disaster in U.S. history, with search and rescue teams actively deployed. Necropsy efforts are underway, anticipating a higher death count.

Despite some success with aerial firefighting efforts, multiple large fires are still burning across the city, with the Eaton fire now covering more than 14,000 acres and only 27% contained.

In the Pacific Palisades, a fire has devastated land, growing over 1,000 acres overnight, and is currently 11% contained. It poses a significant threat to homes and has already impacted the Brentwood area.

Current weather conditions have provided some relief, but strong Santa Ana winds are expected to return, possibly reaching speeds of 50 miles per hour. Emergency services remain on alert for these gusts that could spread embers to untouched areas.

The National Weather Service has issued critical red-flag warnings across Los Angeles and surrounding counties due to high winds and low humidity, which will persist for several days.

Officials report that the fires, which began early this week, have damaged or destroyed over 12,300 properties, further highlighting the gravity of the situation.

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
