The World Trade Organization (WHO) is “extremely concerned” about a possible outbreak of polio after high concentrations of the highly contagious virus were found in the sewage system in Gaza. WHO warns that infectious diseases can cause more deaths than injuries.
The number of people in Gaza needing to be evacuated for medical care may have risen to over 14,000, according to Ayadil Saparbekov, the WHO’s director of health crises in the Palestinian territories.
A Gothia Cup player suspected of raping another player in a hotel room in Gothenburg has left the country, writes GP.
The suspect must be 16 years old and must belong to an American team.
– There is a suspect but he has not been fully identified yet. We know which team he plays in, but he is not fully identified and that is probably because he simply left the country, says prosecutor Mikael Sjöholm to the newspaper.
Police and prosecutors have started investigative measures.

US Vice President Kamala Harris will not be in the US Congress on Wednesday when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivers a speech. Instead, the two are expected to meet for a one-on-one meeting, according to sources that US media have spoken to.
During the meeting, Harris will deliver his message that the war must end and discuss the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza.
On Thursday, President Biden is also expected to meet with the Israeli leader. Biden is critical of Israel’s handling of Gaza and says he will spend his last six months as president ending the war and bringing the hostages home.

Violence against women and girls in England and Wales is a “national emergency”, British police warn in a new report.
Every day, the police have to deal with nearly 3,000 violent crimes against women and girls. Between 2022-2023, more than one million violent crimes against women and girls were registered by the police, who at the same time warn that the number of people in the dark is high.
Crimes against children who have been sexually abused have also increased. Between 2013 and 2022, sexual assaults increased by 435 percent – from just over 20,000 to almost 107,000 reported crimes per year.
The perpetrators are getting younger and the average age of a suspect is now 15 years.
The UK Home Office declared last February that violence against women and girls is a national threat to public security in the country.
During Tuesday, a road should have collapsed near a residential area in Jönköping.
– There is a hole in the road that is approximately one meter deep and three meters wide, says the rescue service’s command operator.
No one has been injured and the municipality’s technical emergency will go to the scene.
– It should still be possible to pass the hole, says the line operator.

A motorcycle has run off the road in Borgstena in Borås.
The driver is taken to hospital by ambulance helicopter, the police announce.
The extent of the damage is unclear.
Three vehicles have collided on the E22 outside Kristianstad near Bäckaskog.
What caused the accident and whether anyone is injured is unclear, according to the police.
The road is completely closed and there is no forecast for when the road is expected to open, writes the Swedish Transport Administration on its website.
In August last year, a 72-year-old man was shot dead in his home in Åstorp in Scania.

The Helsingborg district court announced this today.

A person had his car stolen in Sundsvall.
The plaintiff is said to have been standing outside the car when the perpetrator, a man in his 20s, got into it and drove away.
The plaintiff initially tried to hold on to the car and dragged the car for a short distance.
The person should not have suffered any serious injuries.
The police then received an alert that the car was on the E4, and the police stopped the car in Tönnebro, 16 miles from where the car was originally stolen.
The man who stole the car has been arrested on suspicion of possession of a drug and causing danger to another.
The man is also arrested.
At least 146 people have died in a landslide in southern Ethiopia on Monday, local authorities said. Among the victims are small children and pregnant women.
The landslide occurred after heavy downpours in the mountainous region in a remote part of the country.
Pictures show people using their bare hands to dig through the soil to search for survivors. Many of the victims were buried as rescue workers scoured the steep terrain for survivors of an earlier landslide that occurred over the weekend.
The rescue service has been alerted to Lilla Bommens harbor outside the Gothenburg Opera after smoke from a boat, reports P4 Gothenburg.
One of Västtrafik’s ferries is now circling the boat to possibly help.
Monsoon and typhoon “Carina” move in over the Philippines.

However, socially important institutions, such as services for rescue, preparedness and healthcare, must be up and running.
Carina is the third tropical cyclone to move in over the country so far this year, according to Inqurer.net
Several airports have also closed due to the typhoon.
