By Najib Jobain, Samy Magdy and Joseph Krauss | Associated PressRAFAH, Gaza Strip — Israel ramped up its airstrikes Monday in Gaza, where the death toll was rising rapidly, and the United States advised Israel to delay an expected ground invasion to allow more time to negotiate the release of hostages taken by Hamas militants.A third small aid convoy from Egypt entered Gaza, where the population of 2.3 million has been running out of food, water and medicine under Israel’s two-week seal.

Both the troop and the choir were affiliated with the Catholic school he attended in Highlandtown, which she herself had gone to as a child.“I thought, ‘He has male role models,’” Hines recalled. “I was so oblivious.”These days, the Boy Scouts and the Catholic Church no longer command such unquestioned trust. Both are in the throes of a reckoning over decades of child sex abuse committed by troop leaders, clergy, teachers and others affiliated with them, and the institutions’ role in enabling and covering it up.The Boy Scouts filed for bankruptcy in 2020, resulting in a record $2.46 billion fund from which they will compensate about 82,000 men who say they were sexually abused as children.The Archdiocese of Baltimore filed for bankruptcy Sept. 29, just before a new Maryland law lifted a...
