HOLIDAY HORROR: 3 Dead, Many Injured After Terror Hits Facility For New Moms
Three people were killed, including a 10-month-old girl, after high winds toppled a tree in Germany during an Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning, according to authorities.
Around 50 people from a nearby residential facility for new mothers, pregnant women and children were attending the egg hunt in a wooded area near the town of Satrupholm at about 11 a.m. when a 100-foot tree fell on top of them, police said in a statement.
Four people became pinned under the tree, police said.
First responders arrived at the scene and first began treating a 21-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl, but both died at the scene.
The woman’s 10-month-old daughter also later died at the hospital.
An 18-year-old woman sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital in a helicopter.
The residential facility is part of the state-funded child welfare system, supporting pregnant women and new mothers who need help, according to its website.
Grief counselors were sent to the scene after the fatal incident on Sunday.
Pictures from the scene showed several Easter eggs scattered on the ground as two of the victims were seen covered in white sheets.
The German weather service had put the area under a high winds warning.
Officials from the Schleswig-Holstein region, where the facility is located, said they were “deeply shaken” by the Easter tragedy.
“Our thoughts are with the family members of the dead, with the injured, and with everyone who had to experience this terrible occurrence,” regional Governor Daniel Günther, Interior Minister Magdalena Finke, and Youth and Families Minister Aminata Touré said in a joint statement to the dpa news agency.

The U.S. State Department has updated its travel advisory for Americans who may be headed on trips to Ethiopia.

Officials warned of restrictions for travelers when they enter and leave the country.

WNBA champ Natasha Cloud takes issue with Trump’s Iran message on Easter
WNBA champion Natasha Cloud criticized President Donald Trump on Sunday after he fired off a strong message toward Iran on Easter morning.
Cloud teed off on Trump in messages posted on Threads.

“A sitting president who claims to be ‘a God fearing man’ to be tweeting on Easter Sunday that he will bomb Iran’s infrastructure IS NOT A MAN OF CHRIST,” the New York Liberty guard wrote.
“A reminder that yes Jesus died for our sins, but He was murdered by…. the governing Authority. He did not follow THEIR law, because THEIR law is not God’s law. A part we TOO often just pass over.”
Cloud then wrote about how terrorism is defined in the U.S.
“In the United States, terrorism is defined by federal law as:
“The unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives,” she added.
LIVE UPDATES: TRUMP WARNS IRAN HE MAY STRIKE ‘EVERY POWER PLANT’ AS DEADLINE TO REOPEN HORMUZ NEARS
Cloud had previously called out the Trump administration’s use of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and, nearly three years ago, got into a feud with former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom after she called the U.S. “trash” before the Fourth of July holiday.
On Sunday, Trump warned Iran that U.S. military forces could attack power plants and bridges in Iran if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t opened.
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F—-n’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah,” he wrote on Truth Social.
Trump is expected to deliver an update on the U.S. military operation in Iran on Monday.
He has said the war with Iran is “nearing completion,” but a looming deadline could determine whether the conflict is actually ending — or about to escalate.
