It's worth noting that the government here says that no Trinidadians have died in any U.S.
attack.
But I think that is the tough part of the story.
Those boats and those attacks.
are in open waters, and the U.S.
has released limited information.

Thank you, Leila.
In a statement, Hamas said recovering the 19 bodies of the remaining Israeli hostages may take some time because it requires special digging equipment that it needs from outside Gaza.
Hamas said the bodies are buried in tunnels under the rubble of bombed out buildings.
Hamas's militant wing leaked a video to Al Jazeera showing its men searching for the bodies of hostages.
The Jerusalem Post reports that an 81-person rescue team from Turkey is prepared to assist in the search for bodies, but was barred by Israel's government from entering Gaza.
Israel has accused Hamas this week of holding back these bodies and violating the ceasefire agreement, while Hamas says its inability to find the bodies reflects the complex situation on the ground in Gaza as society attempts to rebuild.

The airport said in a statement that at least 17 flights were grounded overnight, impacting 3,000 passengers, while airport officials diverted 15 additional flights to other airports in the region.
The airport reopened at 5 in the morning local time when arrivals and departures were again deemed safe.
Last week, several airports in Denmark were forced to close for the same reason.
Denmark later banned all civil drones as it hosted a summit of European leaders to discuss support for Ukraine as well as a potential drone wall initiative.
