California's Deadliest Fire Leaves 48 Dead, Hundreds Missing.



As California’s most devastating fire rages on, it has been reported that 48 people have lost their lives so far as of Tuesday.

According to a report by the New York Post, more than 130,000 acres of land has been destroyed in Butte County’s Camp Fire by burning thousands of homes in the town of Paradise. On Tuesday, authorities found the remains of six more victims and according to Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea, forensic teams with cadaver dogs are still searching for remains through the charred landscape in the town.

Per the report, Honea added that some 228 people are still missing, while more than 50,000 residents of the area are under evacuation orders. He added that around 15,000 structures are still threatened by the blaze.


"I’ll tell you, it’s very, very hard [to search for remains],” Honea told the Chico Enterprise-Record, per a separated report by the New York Post. “There is so much debris in some of these areas that it’s very difficult to determine whether or not there might be human remains there.”

In some areas, cadaver dogs couldn’t assist with the search operation because the ground was too hot for them to step on.

The report detailed that 10 DNA lab trucks have been employed in the area by authorities to identify the victims. Furthermore, two teams of anthropologists from California State University, Chico, are also helping out to identify the victims in cases where only bone fragments were found.

Iran's keeper Zohreh Koudaei accused of being a man.

  Iranian women's football team goalkeeper, Zohreh Koudaei, has been accused of being a man by the Jordan Football Association after she saved two penalties for a crucial win against Jordan.  As a result of these saves in a penalty shoot out which ended 4-2, Iran earned a place at the Women’s Asian Cup for the first time in the country’s history. The cup will take place in India in 2022.  Jordan FA is now asking for a gender verification check. Lol.
