Another day, another typhoon — two, in fact: Super Typhoon "Ofel" lashed Cagayan on Thursday with torrential rains and howling winds, to be followed by Tropical Storm "Man-yi," which is expected to hit Luzon either Saturday or Sunday.

In a damning report, Human Rights Watch said the forced displacement of Palestinian people in Gaza by Israel has been "widespread, systematic... and part of state policy," acts that "constitute crimes against humanity."
