Global Highlights: A Week in Pictures (Oct. 18-24, 2024)
This past week was marked by significant events across the globe. In Australia, images of King Charles and Queen Camilla illuminated the iconic sails of the Sydney Opera House shortly after their arrival. Meanwhile, in Chiapas, Mexico, migrants traversed the Huixtla highway with aspirations of reaching the northern border and ultimately entering the United States.
In northern Israel, a somber atmosphere prevailed as mourners sought shelter from sirens warning of incoming rockets during a funeral service.
Cultural Celebrations and Political Campaigns
The vibrant spirit of Santiago, Chile came alive as participants gathered for an annual zombie parade. In a lighter moment on the campaign trail, former President Donald Trump—now running for president again—delivered an order to a customer at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania.
