Native American D-Day veteran Charles Shay dies at 101 in Normandy

PARIS, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Charles Norman Shay, a Native American veteran who was a 19-year-old U.S. Army medic when he landed ​off the Normandy coast on D-Day and helped save lives, died ‌at age 101 on Wednesday.

Shay died at his home near Caen in France's Normandy region, ‌his carer Marie-Pascale Legrand said.

Born on June 27, 1924, on the Penobscot Indian Island Reservation in Maine, Shay was among some 500 Native Americans who took part in the June 6, 1944 landings.

The assault marked a decisive stage ⁠in the liberation of Europe ‌from German forces in World War Two.

As a U.S. Army medic, he ran across the beach dozens of times, ‍dragging men out of the surf and patching up their wounds under heavy fire — actions for which he was awarded a Silver Star, three Bronze Stars, and ​France's Legion d'Honneur.

He moved to Normandy in 2017 and became a familiar ‌figure at annual commemorations, insisting he was no hero, only a soldier who did his duty. "We lost many men," he recalled in a 2019 interview marking the 75th anniversary of D-Day. "I had to blank it all off so I could concentrate on my mission."

"Normandy lost today one of its ⁠heroes and a keeper of memory," the ​Normandy Region said on X.

In later years, Shay ​worked for recognition of the role played by Native Americans during the war. His efforts bore fruit when a memorial ‍was erected to ⁠the Native Americans who fought on Omaha Beach at Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer. In Native folklore they are known as the boys from Turtle Island, so ⁠it features a large granite turtle.

Shay will be buried there, near the sands where ‌history changed course, local French media said.

Palestinian-American teen released after 9 months in Israeli prison

After about nine months in an Israeli prison, aPalestinian-American teen from Palm Bay, Florida was releasedon Thanksgiving Day.

Mohammed Zahar Ibrahim, 16, was accused of throwing rocks at Israeli settlers and had been held without trial since February, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said. While in prison, he faced starvation, torture and abuse,CAIRsaid in a Nov. 27 statement, calling on the U.S. government to "hold Israeli authorities accountable."

"(Mohammed's) homecoming is a blessing, but it does not erase the torture and suffering he endured," said CAIR Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw in a statement sent to media. "The U.S. government has a responsibility to investigate Israel's abuse of an American citizen and ensure that no other child — American or Palestinian — is subjected to the same treatment."

Teen embraces father upon release

On Thanksgiving Day, Mohammed was released from Ofer Prison in the West Bank, according toCAIR-Florida. Videos posted to Instagram show him embracing his father on a sidewalk after his release. His family members, who are Palestinian, split their time between Palm Bay and a home in Silwad, an Arab village in the West Bank, according to relatives.

Mohammed was initially arrested in February, when Hiba Rahim, deputy executive director of CAIR-Florida, said he was "snatched from his home at 3 a.m."

Initially, he was placed at Megiddo Prison, one of several Israeli detention centers that house Palestinians. These facilities have drawn concern from human rights groups due to reports of abuse and torture inflicted upon inmates.

See the historic moment Israeli hostages, Palestinian prisoners are released

Following his initial arrest, Mohammed was moved to Ofer Prison, located north of Jerusalem.

During the summer, Mohammed's family and CAIR began urging U.S. officials to secure his release from prison, drawing support from dozens of human rights and faith organizations.

His arrest came amid aconflict between Israel and Hamasthat has lasted more than two years, beginning on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas' incursion into the southern part of Israel left about 1,200 people dead, with Hamas taking about 251 people hostage. Since then, all but two hostageshave been returned, 168 of whom were alive.

More than 70,000 Palestinians have died according to Gaza's health ministry, which is controlled by Hamas. The conflict has been declared a genocide in Gaza by numerous international bodies, human rights organizations and genocide scholars,such as the United Nations, the International Court of Justice and the International Association of Genocide Scholars.

Prison condition concerns remain

In August, Mohammed's family and CAIR raised concerns about his condition, with Rahim telling FLORIDA TODAY, part of the USA TODAY Network, that the teen had lost about a quarter of his weight and had been diagnosed with scabies.

Since then, in a sworn statement that CAIR-Florida shared with members of Congress, Mohammed detailed being beaten with rifle butts, starved, denied medical care and "threatened by masked interrogators who coerced him into a false confession under fear of further violence," according to CAIR officials.

"Mohamed should have spent this year studying for his learner's permit and enjoying time with his family — not locked in a military prison, beaten, starved, and terrified," CAIR-Florida said in a statement. "His release is cause for celebration, but it must also be a turning point. The U.S. cannot continue providing unchecked support to a government that tortures American children."

Both Mohammed's father and CAIR denied the claims that the teen threw rocks at Israeli settlers, with Mohammed's father saying that about two dozen armed Israeli authorities raided the home where the teen was staying in the middle of the night and took him away "blindfolded and handcuffed."

Another youth, a 17-year-old, was arrested in April after facing similar accusations, according to Israeli officials. The teen collapsed and died at Ofer Prison.

And in July, Mohammed's first cousin, Sayfollah Musallet, a 20-year-old Tampa man with dual citizenship in Palestine, was beaten to death by Israelis while protesting the building of an Israeli community in the West Bank, according to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.

EU updates asylum guidance for Syrians a year after Assad's fall

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — The European Union on Wednesday issued updated guidance for asylum applications by Syrian nationals that reflects new conditions in Syria a year after thefall of the Bashar Assad. The changes may influence the result of asylum requests of some 110,000 Syrians who were still awaiting an asylum decision at the end of September.

The European Union Agency for Asylum said opponents of Assad and military service evaders "are no longer at risk of persecution."

But the agency said other groups may be considered at risk in the post-AssadSyria, including people affiliated with the former government and members of theAlawites, Christians, andDruzeethnic-religious groups.

While decisions on asylum applications are made at a national level, the agency's guidance is used to inform the 27 EU member states, as well as Norway and Switzerland. The goal is to create greater coherence between the 29 nations granting international protection.

The number of Syrians requesting asylum dropped significantly from 16,000 in October 2024, before the fall of Assad, to 3,500 in September 2025. Still, Syrians had the most number of cases awaiting a decision at first instance.

Syria's conflictthat began in March 2011 killed nearly half a million people and displaced half the country's pre-war population of 23 million. More than 5 million Syrians fled the country as refugees. While most sought refuge in neighboring countries like Turkey, many also went to Europe, contributing to the continent'srefugee crisis in 2015.

The asylum agency said the situation in Syria is "considered improved but volatile" since Assad's fall in December 2024, and that "indiscriminate violence continues to take place" in certain parts of Syria.

Many Syrians had high hopesafterAssad was brought downin an offensive by insurgent groups in early December. However, sectarian killings against members of Assad's Alawite minority sect inSyria's coastal regionand against the Druze minority in the southernprovince of Sweidaearlier this year has claimed hundreds of lives.

Still, the agency said it now considers Damascus, the capital, to be safe.

The agency also cited two other groups living in Syria who should remain eligible for refugee status: LGBTQ+ people and Palestinians in Syria who no longer receive United Nations assistance or protection.

Since the fall of Assad in December, more than one million people have returned to Syria and nearly 2 million internally people have returned to their regions, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Thinking about a 'thrifty' Christmas? Consider a resale shop

Secondhand gifting is growing in popularity as shoppers look to save money and give something meaningful this holiday season.

"You are going to find items that are unique. You are not going to see a whole shelf full of the same item," said Stephanie Aldridge, who managesLegacies Upscale Resale,a non-profit resale and consignment shop in Cincinnati.

Aldridge shared unique gift options like bracelets for as little as $5. The store offers vintage necklaces for $10 each, a 1950s mid-century modern ice bucket for $30, and classic Christmas tree ornaments starting at $3.

RELATED STORY |Why 2 in 3 shoppers are turning to thrifting regularly

"These are items that all have history and stories behind them. We are keeping things out of landfills," Aldridge said. "It will make that gift giving a more fun, enjoyable experience."

Shoppers thrift to save on gifts

The National Retail Federation found59% of shoppers would consider giving a secondhand gift this year to save money and get greater value for the gifts they purchase.

"I think what you see, especially with younger generations, it's not even just OK. It's actually the preferred gift," said Kate Sanner, co-founder and CEO ofBeni, a search engine that aggregates inventoryfrom secondhand retailers like Poshmark, The RealReal, Depop and eBay.

Before you buy something new, Beni suggests checking those sites and flagging cheaper options.

"Before I buy this new and full price, is it sitting on a secondhand site for 50, 60, 70% off? And what you'll find is that oftentimes it is," Sanner said.

Sanner said about 30% of listings on Beni are actually new with tags.

"It's stuff that was liquidated. It's things that were returned but couldn't be resold," she said.

Safely buy items secondhand

Whether you're thrifting online or in person, Melanie McGovern with theBetter Business Bureauurges shoppers to arm themselves with information so they don't overpay.

"There are tags on every piece of clothing that tell you the year and the month it was made," McGovern said. "Looking at that tag, knowing how old is this item, is it worth anything?"

RELATED STORY |Thrift treasures or new trends? Shoppers find style without breaking the bank

To steer clear of scammers while secondhand shopping,the BBB recommendsconsumers take the following steps:

• Check reviews of the seller and the platform

• Inspect listings closely when shopping online

• Look for wear, stains and tears if shopping in person

McGovern recommends you check out a company's business profile on BBB.org to see if other consumers have filed complaints and how those complaints were resolved.

"Especially when you're buying through the secondhand websites — make sure that you know, if something does go wrong, there is some recourse for you," she said.

Aldridge said once you visit a thrift shop, you'll be hooked.

"It's the hunt. I feel like we're all like Indiana Jones. We are going in to find that really special item that you are not going to see everywhere," she said.

So consider secondhand gifts this holiday season, so you don't waste your money.

A 1-year-old was among 159 killed in Hong Kong apartment fires. 30 others remain missing

HONG KONG (AP) — The death toll of Hong Kong'shigh-rise apartment blazerose to 159 on Wednesday, as authorities arrested six people on suspicion of deactivating some fire alarms during maintenance work at the housing complex.

The youngest person who died in the fire was a 1-year-old infant, police said. The oldest was 97.

Police said they have completed a search for bodies inside all seven of eight high-rise residential towers ravaged in the fire that first broke out last Wednesday andtook until Friday to be extinguished. About 30 people were still reported missing.

"We have not finished our work yet," Commissioner of Police Joe Chow told reporters, adding that officials will continue to search through piles of fallen bamboo scaffolding to check if any remains or bodies were buried there.

The deadly blaze broke out at Wang Fuk Court, in the northern suburban district of Tai Po, which was undergoing a monthslong renovation project with buildings covered by bamboo scaffolding and green netting.

Police and the city's anti-corruption body said Tuesday that they had arrested 15 people as authorities probe corruption and negligence in relation to the renovation work.Substandard nettingcovering scaffoldings erected outside the towers and foam boards installed on windows were found to have aided the fire's rapid spread, authorities said earlier this week.

Police said Wednesday that six people who allegedly deactivated some fire alarms at the housing complex during the renovation works were arrested on suspicion of making false representation to the fire services department.

Residents and officials have said that some fire alarms in the buildings failed to sound when the fire broke out, though it was not clear how widespread that problem was within the complex.

The initial cause of the fire was still under investigation.

Nineteen bodies among the 159 were still unidentified, police said. Ten migrants who worked as domestic helpers at the housing complex, including nine from Indonesia and one from the Philippines, as well as one firefighter, were among those killed in the fire.
