A 72-year-old man was on his way to a dialysis session in the Capital when he was threatened by two individuals armed with knives and robbed at a bus stop. Very shaken, the septuagenarian is speaking out about the lack of security in the area.

In another case, a new local instance of chikungunya has been confirmed in Mauritius. A 68-year-old woman from Roches-Brunes is currently hospitalized, and health authorities assure that control measures are in progress.

Housing prices continue to soar in Mauritius, making home ownership increasingly difficult for households. According to the Bank of Mauritius, the cost of residential property has more than doubled since 2018, forcing families to take on more debt. Meanwhile, the real estate sector remains highly attractive to foreign investors, who account for most of the external investments.

Lastly, a shooting targeted worshippers gathered for a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, this Sunday. Two shooters opened fire, resulting in numerous casualties before one of the attackers was shot by the police.
