The Sikkim government has arranged a helicopter to rescue taxi drivers and local residents stranded in landslide-affected areas in northern

The Oshana Regional Council this week acquired the services of a helicopter from the Namibian Defence Force (NDF) to help distribute drought-relief food in floodprone areas. The helicopter will be used in areas such as Uuvudhiya, Ompundja and Okatyali. It will also help farmers to deliver food and other basic essentials to their cattle herders in affected grazing areas. Oshana governor Elia Irimari says the helicopter will not only cater for the affected residents of the Oshana region, but all northern regions that may need the helicopter’s services. “This helicopter will assist the whole north. Following the heavy rains, many people are stranded and cut off from the main routes due to high water levels. “This leaves the communities vulnerable and unable to cross the water pans. We thought of getting a helicopter to assist our farmers – especially those living in flood prone areas,” he says. Irimari could not tell how many residents are affected, but says especially those at villages are in dire need of humanitarian aid. “The helicopter will be used to distribute food items and other essentials to the communities in floodprone areas. The situation is bad as most of the cattle herders are cut off by the water, and as such many are unable to get to town to acquire basic essentials. “Thus, we are requesting the farm owners to drop off food parcels at the Uukwangula warehouse, and we’ll deliver them by helicopter,” he says. Many rural areas, including schools in the region, are cut off from essential services following recent heavy rains, accompanied by floodwater coming from Angola.

The Namibian Defence Force (NDF) has sent two helicopters to the Oshana region to transport essential supplies to the flood-affected areas in the region. Oshana governor Elia Irimari said this at a media briefing at Oshakati on Friday. The governor said three schools in the region are currently closed due to floods, while another two are difficult to access. “Grazing areas in the Uuvudhiya, Ompundja and Uukwiyuushona constituencies are completely cut off and farmers are using boats and NDF choppers to transport their commodities,” he said. The helicopters transport items, especially food, to the grazing areas in the Okatjali, Ompundja and Uuvudhiya constituencies. Irimari said two boats have been deployed at Uuvudhiya – one at Ompundja and another at Okatjali. He said most of the mahangu fields in this area are affected by the heavy rains, while some are totally submerged. According to the governor, the harvest in these regions will be affected. He said six gravel roads in and near the Oshana region are affected and cut off. These include the Okapaya-Ohalushu, Oshuuli-Onaanda-Omapopo and Onamutuku-Onkani roads. Other affected areas are Uukwiyuushona and Oluno Correctional Services.

A 40-year-old man was airlifted by helicopter from Runyon Canyon in the Hollywood Hills on Sunday morning after suffering a serious medical emergency while hiking. According to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), rescue personnel responded to the scene around 9:15 a.m. and conducted an emergency evacuation involving approximately 32 firefighters and rescue staff. The hiker was transported by air to a nearby hospital, where he was reported to be in grave condition. Authorities have not released further details regarding what caused the medical emergency or the identity of the individual. Video footage shared on social media platforms showed a helicopter hoisting a person from the rugged canyon terrain, highlighting the challenging nature of the rescue operation in the popular hiking destination. Shortly after the incident, emergency services responded to a separate medical emergency in the same Runyon Canyon area involving two minors. The Los Angeles Police Department reported that officers, along with LAFD personnel, assisted in the response near Fuller Avenue and Hillside Avenue around 9:40 a.m. The minors were taken to a hospital for treatment and later released to their families. While officials provided limited information about the second incident, both events underscored a busy morning for emergency responders in one of Los Angeles’ most frequented hiking areas. Runyon Canyon, known for its scenic views and heavy foot traffic, regularly draws hikers but also sees occasional rescues due to difficult terrain and health emergencies.
