 No good deed goes unpunished.  A Florida sea tow captain saved a man from a burning ship only to be shoved overboard and have his boat stolen. This shocking incident occurred near Marco Island on March 6th. On that date, a call went out regarding a burning boat. The captain of a sea tow boat heard the distress call and rushed to provide aid. He was able to quickly locate the burning boat and  discovered 40-year-old, Ryan Deiter, and his dog onboard the burning ship. Wasting no time, the captain of the sea tow boat was able to maneuver alongside the distressed boat and begin efforts to extricate Deiter and his dog from the doomed vessel.  Eventually, the sea tow captain was able to pull both Deiter and his dog onboard the tow boat. However, once Deiter was pulled to safety, he repaid a stranger's kindness with treachery.  Deiter shoved the captain from his own boat and fled the scene in the stolen boat, leaving the man who had just risked his own vessel and life...

 US pledges $32.5 million to ease hunger in Borno, northern Nigeria


The United States has approved $32.5 million in humanitarian aid to Nigeria, targeting hunger in the country’s conflict-torn north, particularly Borno state.


The U.S. mission to Nigeria said the funding will deliver food and nutrition support to internally displaced people in the northeast, where communities have been battered by more than a decade of insurgency.


The aid package is expected to reach more than 764,000 people, including 41,569 pregnant and breastfeeding women and 43,235 children.


Borno state has been hardest hit, with aid agencies warning that an “unprecedented hunger crisis” could leave 1.3 million people without food and force the shutdown of at least 150 nutrition clinics. In Maiduguri, Intersos, an Italian humanitarian group, now runs the only in-patient malnutrition facility still open.


Margot van der Velden, the World Food Program’s regional director for West Africa, warned in July that funding shortages had pushed the agency to suspend food assistance in parts of West and Central Africa, leaving millions vulnerable. Food stocks in Nigeria and other affected countries were projected to run out by September.


Northern Nigeria is also reeling from rising insecurity that has killed about 35,000 civilians and displaced over two million, violent clashes between farmers and herders in the northwest and north-central regions have further strained food supplies.
