Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the U.S has dried up to its lowest ever level according to new NASA images

NASA has released new pictures showing the withering state of Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the U.S which is now at a record low.

Images from 2000 and 2021 compared to 2022 show how dramatically low the water levels are, now at just 27 per cent capacity.

The lake typically supplies water to roughly 25 million people across America’s west, but now it is at its lowest levels since it was first filled in 1937.

Today the lake looks like more of a graveyard rather than a water supply, with two skeletons being revealed amid the drought.

Dead and dried up fish also stick up in the cracks of the dried lake.

And even a whole power boat stands up right, solidified into dry mud, almost like a tomb stone.

The managing director of the NASA Earth Observatory, has described the phenomenon as “a stark illustration of climate change.”

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
