World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported7m ago
During the first nine months of the year, utility and household service costs in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) increased at nearly twice the rate of general inflation, which stood at 23.6%. This disproportionate rise has significantly increased the weight of fixed household expenses within family budgets.
Simultaneously, a separate tragic event occurred in Peshawar, located in northwestern Pakistan, where a school roof collapsed. The disaster resulted in the deaths of 27 students and one teacher, while leaving over 30 others injured, with six in critical condition according to local hospital officials.
