A diphtheria outbreak is affecting remote Indigenous communities in Australia’s Northern Territory, with over 240 cases since October. Residents in one community, Yuendumu, report a lack of hand sanitiser at the health clinic and limited information on how to prevent or handle the illness.
Key Facts
More than 240 diphtheria cases have been reported in Australia since October, mainly in Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory, South Australia, Queensland, and Western Australia.
Yuendumu, a small community of about 700 people, is one of the hardest hit in the Northern Territory.
Locals say the Yuendumu health clinic often lacks hand sanitiser and is not maintaining sanitary conditions.
Many residents feel they have not received clear or understandable information about diphtheria and how to avoid spreading it.
Overcrowded housing in Yuendumu makes it harder to stop the disease from spreading.
The Royal Flying Doctor service has increased visits to Yuendumu from once a week to daily due to the outbreak.
NT Health says the clinic is open and no one has been refused care. They also report efforts to increase vaccinations and share information.
Some community members face long waits, up to three weeks, to get diphtheria test results, making isolation and treatment plans difficult.

Two earthquakes with magnitudes over 5.0 occurred offshore near Northern California early Wednesday, following a larger 5.7 magnitude quake off the Oregon coast. No major damage or injuries were reported, and no tsunami warning was issued.
Key Facts
Two earthquakes measured above 5.0 magnitude near the Northern California coast.
These quakes happened shortly after a magnitude 5.7 earthquake off the Oregon coast.
The California quakes were shallow, increasing the chance they could be felt on land.
No tsunami warnings were issued, and no significant damage or injuries were reported.
Earthquakes are common in California because it is located along a major boundary between two large tectonic plates.
Movement at the boundary of the Pacific Plate and North American Plate causes stress to build underground, resulting in earthquakes when released.
California has many fault lines, not just the San Andreas Fault, which spreads seismic activity across the state.
Residents reported feeling only a few of the earthquakes according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Hair can feel dry for reasons beyond heat styling and conditioners. A hairstylist explains five common causes of dry hair and simple ways to fix them, such as focusing on scalp care and trimming split ends.
Key Facts
Dry hair often starts with poor scalp health, not just damaged hair strands.
Environmental heat like sun and hot showers can weaken hair just as much as styling tools.
Dry hair does not always mean it is damaged; it might just need more moisture.
Using too many hair products can cause buildup that makes hair dry and dull.
Waiting too long to trim split ends can make hair feel rough and harder to manage.
Fixes include using scalp treatments, lowering water temperature, alternating hair products, clarifying shampoos, and getting regular haircuts.

Europe is facing hotter summers with dangerous heatwaves becoming more common due to climate change. While some countries are starting to create cooling centers called climate shelters, many parts of Europe still lack strong plans to protect people from extreme heat.
Key Facts
Western Europe recently experienced a heatwave that broke May temperature records in the UK and Ireland.
An estimated 250 extra deaths occurred in the UK during the peak of the heatwave, with the total death toll likely higher.
Heat causes more deaths in Europe each year than crime or terror attacks.
Two-thirds of heat-related deaths in European cities are linked to climate change caused by burning fossil fuels.
Only 21 out of 38 European countries have official heat-health action plans.
Climate shelters are spaces where people can cool down, drink water, and safely escape the heat.
Barcelona has over 400 climate shelters, and Spain plans a national network as part of climate actions.
Other European cities like Paris and Vienna are also adopting cooling zones, but many shelters open late in the heat season or have limited hours.
