Australia: Ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji Leaves Widespread Destruction in Queensland

The slow-moving system swept across the Central Highlands and Coalfield regions on Monday, January 12. Wind gusts reached 113 km/h on Hamilton Island. Early estimates suggest that more than 48,000 livestock have perished in the floods, which continue to inundate vast areas of Queensland—stretching from the coast at Mackay, 1,000 kilometres west to Cloncurry, and north to Townsville and Cairns. Central Queensland is the latest region to feel the impact of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji, with Clermont recently enduring its heaviest rainfall in 110 years.

ERBIL, Iraq In the Baharka district, the daily existence of Syrian Kurdish refugees is defined by a haunting duality. While laborers attempt to focus on their work in bakeries and construction sites, in local clinics, doctors attend to patients whose physical ailments are often deepened by the psychological trauma of the war, checking vitals while the sick anxiously await updates from home.Inside the shelters, even the children have replaced cartoons with graphic news feeds, gathering around small screens to watch the destruction of a homeland they can barely remember. Whether in a clinic, a workshop, or a home, thousands here live a surreal reality physically safe in the Kurdistan Region, but mentally living on the frontlines of the conflict in Rojava and Aleppo Iraq on January 11, 2026.
