Doctors Without Borders in Gaza said 100% of patients treated on Wednesday were kids. Doctors Without Borders told Insider that, on Wednesday, in fact, 100% of their patients were children. That blockade is one of the biggest concerns for Doctors Without Borders staff, Brienne Prusak, a spokesperson with the nonprofit, told Insider. "Everything that was available has been purchased and distributed within the local markets, and it's impossible to get aid from outside," Sosebee told Insider. "When this ends, we can only imagine the amount of effort and attention that needs to go into trying to repair the damages in Gaza," Sosebee told Insider.

MCCAMEY, Texas, March 23 (Reuters) - Cryptocurrency bankruptcies and worries over electric power consumption have failed to dent the industry's growth in Texas, according to a top trade group, citing the rise in the miners' power demands. Bitcoin miners consume about 2,100 megawatts of the state's power supplies, said Lee Bratcher, president of industry group Texas Blockchain Council. "There's been some challenges with the Bitcoin mining industry," Bratcher said, noting his group recently saw two prominent bankruptcies and other miners scaling back expansions. "Bitcoin mining is a very energy intensive business, which is why we tend to find places like West Texas to be full of Bitcoin miners," said Matt Prusak, chief commercial officer at cryptocurrency miner U.S. Bitcoin Corp, which has one of its mining operations in a 280-megawatt wind farm in Texas. In Texas, where about 250 people died during a winter storm blackout that exposed the fragility of the state's grid, the prospect of higher crypto demand has raised alarms.
