Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning. UNHCR is preparing for at least 10,000 new arrivals but warned that capacity is rapidly diminishing. Markazi refugee village, designed for 5,000 people, was already hosting more than 2,700 Yemenis and 1,500 Eritreans. More than 100,000 people have also been displaced ins...

 4-month-old Bronx boy dies from cocaine in system, case ruled homicide


A 4-month-old Bronx boy died from having cocaine in his system, police said Thursday.

Little Ariel Gonzalez’s 34-year-old mother called 911 about 9:10 p.m. Aug. 10 to report the baby was unconscious inside the family’s home on Eagle Ave. near E. 156th St. in the South Bronx.


EMS workers rushed the boy to NYC Health and Hospitals/Lincoln, but he didn’t make it, police said. 

There were no signs of trauma on his body, leaving authorities to wonder what killed him.


On Wednesday the city Medical Examiner ruled the infant’s death a homicide after an autopsy revealed he had cocaine in his system. The official cause of death is acute cocaine intoxication, police said.

No arrests have been made as cops continue to investigate how the boy was exposed to the drug.

“We rely on parents to take care of our child, you know what I’m saying? And to be protected,” said neighbor Lou Aguilar, 68. “We know our neighbors, as far as you know, seeing them passing by, but we don’t know what happened behind closed doors. So that’s a sad situation.”

Aguilar had seen the news of the tragic death and was stunned to learn how close the parents of the boy, who have multiple children, live to him.

“That’s very heartbreaking,” said another neighbor, a woman who did not provide her name. “It does really bother me a lot … That’s a 4-month-old baby. I would have lost my mind if something like that, God forbid, would have happened to my child.”

Police said there had been no prior contact between the family and the city’s Administration for Children’s Services but Aguilar said he had recently spoken to a man who identified himself as a worker for the agency who asked if Aguilar had seen the baby’s father smoking marijuana.

Aguilar said he saw the ACS worker again this week.

“He recognized me because he seen me before and I acknowledge him,” said Aguilar. “I just thought nothing of it. I thought he was doing his regular routine, checking up on the family.”
