In the coming days, the U.S. military in the eastern Mediterranean is expected to jab one end of a hulking metal dock into a beach in northern Gaza. And that may be the end of the easy part for the Biden administration's $320 million effort to open a sea route to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. Relief groups point to dangers and uncertainties ahead for aid delivery teams as fighting surges. They say Israel hasn't improved the humanitarian access and safety promised after an Israeli attack killed a team with World Central Kitchen. The Israeli prime minister's office says it had enabled the entrance of thousands of aid trucks into Gaza and would continue to do so.

Crews have conducted a controlled demolition to break down the largest remaining span of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge. The demolition Monday marks a major step in freeing the grounded Dali container ship. The span landed on the ship's bow after the Dali lost power and crashed into one of the bridge's support columns shortly after leaving Baltimore on March 26. Since then, the ship has been stuck amid the wreckage and Baltimore's busy port has been closed to most maritime traffic. The controlled demolition will allow the Dali to be refloated and restore traffic through the port.
Violence is traumatizing Haitian children. Now the country's breaking its taboo on mental health services. Young Haitians are increasingly exposed to relentless sounds of violence and sidestep bodies in the streets. In the community of Bon Repos in northern Port-au-Prince, young students routinely throw up or wet themselves in class when gunfire erupts outside. The gang violence in Haiti's capital has left more than 2,500 people dead or wounded in the first three months of the year. Some 900 schools have closed across Port-au-Prince as shootings and kidnappings continue. That has an estimated 200,000 children with a limited education.
