Last update: 2 hours agoPalau Medical Access: Tripler Army Medical Center has removed its annual cap on patients from Micronesia, potentially allowing more Palau residents to receive free specialist care in Hawaii, including airfare. The change could ease Palau’s nearly $4 million in yearly overseas referral costs. Climate and Health: A strengthening El Niño could bring below-normal rainfall from Palau to the Marshall Islands and worsen water shortages across the Pacific, threatening drinking water and agriculture. Forecasters expect impacts to persist into 2027. Rescue and Care: Five people, including two children from Chuuk, survived nearly three months adrift before being rescued in Kiribati. They have received medical treatment, while four other passengers remain missing. Dengue Watch: Hawaii has reported its 11th travel-related dengue case this year; 10 cases involved travel to Pacific island countries and territories. Health officials advise removing standing water to limit mosquito breeding.
