At least 297 people died from overdoses last year in Snohomish County, a 4.2% increase from 2022. “Snohomish County is getting hit particularly hard.”Opioids caused 80% of the county’s overdose deaths last year, and 76% involved fentanyl. “Fentanyl has become an increasingly frequent killer in Snohomish County,” said county Health Officer James Lewis. From 2006 to 2019, nearly 414 million prescription opioids flooded Snohomish County, according to a Washington Post analysis of DEA data. Part of the issue, he said, is that Snohomish County is one of the top 10 fastest-growing counties in the country.

World Genocide case against Israel: Where does the rest of the world stand on the momentous allegations? The majority of countries backing South Africa's case are from the Arab world and Africa. No Western country has declared support for South Africa's allegations against Israel. South Africa has also condemned Hamas' Oct. 7 attack but argues that it did not justify Israel's response. The Cairo-based Arab League, whose 22 member countries are almost all part of the OIC, also backed South Africa's case.

Citigroup has announced plans to cut 20,000 jobs over the next two years under a turnaround plan led by the Wall Street giant's British chief executive Jane Fraser. Fraser pledged that 2024 would be a 'turning point' after the lender reported a £1.4billion loss for the fourth quarter that she admitted was 'very disappointing'. The 20,000 job cuts announced yesterday will take out a big chunk of its 239,000-strong workforce. Chief financial officer Mark Mason yesterday admitted the job cuts were 'tough on morale' but that they would not prevent revenue growth. It came as Wall Street rival JP Morgan said its quarterly profits fell by 15 per cent to £7.3billion but full year profits rose 32 per cent to £38.9billion.
