Bad weather and blocked access roads complicate the search for 265 missing people in China after flooding

Rescue operations for 265 missing people following a severe flood in the county of Gyirong, located in the southwestern Chinese region of Tibet, are facing significant hurdles. Persistent rain, unstable hillsides, damaged access routes, and severed communications are severely hindering the efforts of emergency teams, who have also detected a lake in the affected area.

Simultaneously, educational developments in the United States show that the Miami-Dade school district has commenced a new academic cycle with a notable decline in enrollment. Traditional public schools experienced a decrease of 15,094 students compared to the previous year, dropping from 230,172 to 215,078 pupils, with the enrollment drop affecting charter schools for the first time.
