Hurricane Melissa Aftermath, Israel Strikes Gaza Again, Air-Traffic Controllers

This episode of NPR's "Up First" covers three main news stories: Hurricane Melissa's impact on Jamaica and Cuba, the renewed violence in Gaza following a ceasefire, and the effects of the government shutdown on air traffic controllers. The podcast features reports from NPR correspondents in Mexico City, Gaza City, and Tel Aviv, as well as audio from air traffic controllers. It details the damage caused by the hurricane, the casualties and political reactions to the Israeli strikes, and the financial strain and potential safety risks faced by unpaid air traffic controllers during the shutdown.
