DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Desperation grew Thursday among Palestinians largely cut off from supplies of food and water as Israeli forces engaged in fierce urban battles with Hamas militants. Strikes in the southern Gaza town of Rafah sowed fear in one of the last places where civilians could seek refuge.United Nations officials say there are no safe places in Gaza nearly a week after Israel widened its offensive into the southern half of the territory. Heavy fighting in and around the city of Khan Younis has displaced tens of thousands of people and cut most of Gaza off from aid deliveries. More than 80% of the territory’s population has already fled their homes.Two months into the war, the grinding offensive has triggered renewed international alarm. U.N Secretary-General Antonio Guterres used a rarely exercised power to warn the Security Council of an impending “humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza and urged members to demand a cease-fire.Gutteres explicitly cited Articl...Michigan State coach Jonathan Smith brings much of his Oregon State staff with him to lead Spartans

LOVELAND, Colo. (KDVR) — Communities along the Interstate 25 north corridor are growing quickly and contributing to major economic growth in northern Colorado. The Colorado Department of Transportation is expanding I-25 to keep up with traffic. Today CDOT along with other local officials announced that express lanes between Bethoud and Fort Collins will open on Dec. 15. CDOT said this project has economic and environmental benefits, especially to commuters in northern Colorado. "I-25 is the backbone and the spine of northern Colorado. It's the lifeline that connects us all. When the blood isn't pumping things stop working. When I-25 doesn't move and it creates a barrier to getting across, communities cannot healthily grow, be sustainable, economically thrive," said Heather Paddock with CDOT. "The timing and delivery of this project could not have been better with the northern Front Range slated to double by 2050." The department said safety improvements will reduce the...Colorado leaders affirm audit results of USPS mountain offices, delivery

DENVER (KDVR) — All four of Colorado's national elected officials -- U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and Sen. John Hickenlooper and Colorado Rep. Joe Neguse and Rep. Brittany Pettersen -- issued a joint statement Wednesday about the U.S. Postal Service Inspector General's report on mail service in Colorado's mountain towns.“This report confirms what we already knew to be true – that the unreliable and inadequate mail service in our mountain towns has resulted in unacceptable delays and gaps in service for rural communities," the group stated. Timing, totals, impact of Friday’s snowstorm in Denver metro The auditors looked at 13 post offices and one processing and distribution center throughout the mountain towns; conducted observations of processing, delivery, and retail operations; interviewed personnel on challenges faced; and conducted data analysis on service performance.Overall, the findings were unsurprising. Colorado mountain residents experience fewer on-time deliveries, especial...Extremely rare white leucistic gator born at Orlando park
