At least 175 wildfires have erupted across North and South Carolina, beginning overnight Saturday. Many remained uncontained through Sunday. The largest fire has consumed over 1,600 acres of the Carolina Forest near Myrtle Beach, prompting evacuation orders for several neighborhoods. South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster issued a state of emergency on Sunday and issued a statewide burning ban. As of Sunday, no structures had succumbed to the blaze, and no injuries had been reported, as first responders continued working to control the fires. | Israel Blocks Gaza Aid at Ceasefire Deadline Israel blocked the entry of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip on Sunday, one day after the first phase of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire came to an end. The move is meant to pressure Hamas to accept the U.S. proposal to extend the first phase of the ceasefire by about six weeks while Hamas continues releasing hostages. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of "further consequences" should Hamas not agree to the extension. Hamas says Israel is trying to derail the ceasefire agreement. Though Israel is facing international backlash for the blockade amid the fragile ceasefire, Netanyahu says Israel is "fully coordinated" with President Trump. | Private Firm Makes Commercial Moon Landing A private aerospace company has pulled off the first fully successful commercial moon landing as Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander touched down on the lunar surface early Sunday morning. The lander carried 10 experiments to the moon for NASA, which paid Firefly $101 million for the moon delivery and $44 million for the technology on board. Blue Ghost's upright landing eclipsed aerospace company Intuitive Machines' lander that touched down on the lunar surface last year but tipped over on contact. Blue Ghost shared images it took during and after the touchdown, including one of Earth "rising" above the moon.

Somalia is facing a devastating combination of natural disasters, global conflicts, widespread poverty, and disease outbreaks. East Africa has just endured its worst drought in 40 years, leaving tens of millions without access to clean water, wiping out millions of livestock, and destroying crops. With domestic food production crippled, Somalia has relied heavily on imports—90% of its wheat coming from Russia and Ukraine—until those shipments stopped. Now, two in five children in Somalia suffer from acute malnutrition, and cholera is spreading in some regions. The food crisis, compounded by global humanitarian aid being redirected to Europe and the Middle East, has created a perfect storm, leading to a sharp rise in child malnutrition. Be Doers We're asking The Flyover community to join us in partnering with World Concern to help get emergency nutrition packs (a peanut paste fortified with nutrients), water, and hygiene products to those with the most need. Every $12 feeds a child for a month. We're matching the first $750; just give through this link. | |  | | ➤ Christopher Bell won his second straight NASCAR victory Sunday at the Circuit of Americas in Austin.
