On Tuesday, Sao Paulo's state department of health declared a state of emergency, estimating 300 cases for every 100,000 inhabitants. "We have six million doses this year and 50 million doses over five years," he said. Dengue is now present in 85% of Brazil's municipalities, Kfouri added, spreading into regions where it was never seen before. In some cases, the disease can cause a more severe hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding that can lead to death. The Health Ministry's latest weekly bulletin cited some 1.3 million "possible cases" of dengue nationwide and 299 confirmed deaths related to the disease this year.

[1/3] A man assists his elderly father to get into a car so that he can be evacuated from Kiryat Shmona, near Israel's border with Lebanon, in northern Israel, October 20, 2023. Israel on Friday ordered the evacuation of more than 20,000 residents from Kiryat Shmona, one of the biggest towns on its northern border following a heavy cross-border exchange of fire in the area the day before. Survival was uppermost in the minds of Lebanese civilians from the Lebanese village of Dhayra, west of Israel's Kiryat Shmona. Daniel Hagari, spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), said the mass evacuations along Israel's northern border, allowed the army "to expand its operational freedom to act against the Hezbollah terrorist organisation." Israel is putting its swelling ranks of evacuees in guest houses and hotels if they don't have families to stay with.
