By Wafaa Shurafa and Samy Magdy, Associated Press DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli airstrike killed seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen, leading the charity to suspend delivery Tuesday of vital food aid to Gaza, where Israel’s offensive has pushed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to the brink of starvation. Ships still laden with some 240 tons of aid that arrived just a day earlier turned back from Gaza, according to Cyprus, which has played a key role in trying to establish a sea route to bring food to territory. Israel has only allowed a trickle of aid into devastated northern Gaza, where experts say famine is imminent. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged that the country’s forces had carried out the “unintended strike … on innocent people.” He said officials were looking into the strike and would work to ensure it did not happen again. Footage showed the bodies, several wearing protective gear with the charity’s logo, at a hospital in the central Gaza town of Deir al-Balah. Those killed include three British nationals, an Australian, a Polish national, an American-Canadian

RED BLUFF—The City Council will consider an ordinance on Tuesday that would establish a sale tax measure to generate revenue for city street improvement. If passed, the ordinance would be placed as a special use tax on the November 2024 General Election. In 2014, voters adopted a 0.25 percent local sales tax measure with an automatic sunset of 6 years or until April 1, 2021. In November 2018, voters approved a ballot measure that extended the sunset of the 0.25 percent sales tax for ten years or until March 31, 2031. The ordinance proposes a special use tax of 0.75 percent of 1 percent for 25 years. City staff say Red Bluff and the county are part of the same “pool” for determining permissible local sales taxes. The local limit on sales tax measures is a cumulative total of 2 percent. In Red Bluff, the county is currently using none of the 2 percent, and the city is using 0.25 percent. Any proposed tax rates need to be a multiple of 0.125 percent. If passed by 66.67 percent of the voters, staff anticipated that this

By LEA SKENE (Associated Press) BALTIMORE (AP) — A tugboat pushing a fuel barge was the first vessel to use an alternate channel to bypass the wreckage of Baltimore’s collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge, which had blocked traffic along the vital port’s main shipping channel. The barge supplying jet fuel to the Department of Defense left late Monday and was destined for Delaware’s Dover Air Force Base, though officials have said the temporary channel is open primarily to vessels that are helping with the cleanup effort. Some barges and tugs that have been stuck in the Port of Baltimore since the collapse are also scheduled to pass through the channel. Officials said they’re working on a second channel on the southwest side of the main channel that will allow for deeper draft vessels, but they didn’t say when that might open. Gov. Wes Moore is set Tuesday to visit one of two centers that the Small Business Administration opened in the area to help companies get loans to assist them with losses caused by the disruption of the bridge collapse. In Annapolis, a hearing is

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — An Israeli airstrike killed seven aid workers with World Central Kitchen, leading the charity to suspend delivery Tuesday of vital food aid to Gaza, where Israel’s offensive has pushed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to the brink of starvation. Cyprus, which has played a key role in trying to establish a sea route to bring food to the territory, said ships that recently arrived were turning back – with some 240 tons of undelivered aid. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged that the country’s forces had carried out the “unintended strike” on “innocent people in the Gaza Strip.” He says officials are looking into the strike and would “do everything for this not to happen again.” Footage showed the bodies, several wearing protective gear with the charity’s logo, at a hospital in the central Gaza town of Deir al-Balah.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The search for the next superintendent to lead Fresno Unified School District continues to be contentious as board members debate whether it search should be broadened. Surrounded by city council members, union heads, and other community leaders, Fresno Unified School Board President Susan Wittrup stood before cameras Tuesday. She made another plea to the community, asking them to speak up about the ongoing search to replace outgoing Superintendent Bob Nelson. Her press conference came the day before the board is set to interview only internal candidates for the position in a closed door session. “Fresno Unified should consider external candidates for two reasons: to ensure the best qualified candidates have an opportunity to apply and be considered and to validate the selection of an internal candidate who had to compete with other strong candidates to get the job,” explained Wittrup. She claims the decision to solely focus on internal candidates came from misleading information by the contracted consulting group, Leadership Associates, on information gathered at community listening sessions. Wittrup is asking community members to sign a petition to open up the
