A plane crash northwest of Quebec city has left some injured and an 8 year old boy dead.

Five people were aboard the plane when it crashed in the Bostonnais river near  La Taque, Quebec, about 130 kilometers northwest of Quebec city.

A zodiac boat was used to rescue the five occupants and rush them to hospital. The young boy died in hospital and a young girl has suffered major injuries.

The cleanup for Ottawa’s Blues Festival is well underway, but the investigation into the stage collapse continues. Organizers are still scratching their heads as to why the main stage crumbled from a flash thunderstorm Sunday. Especially since the rest of the infrastructure remained in tact.

The UN announced Sunday it has made its first delivery of aid to Somalia in over two years.  Somalia has been the worst-affected by the most severe drought to hit the Horn of Africa in decades.

The UN made their delivery Wednesday to the town of Baidoa, in central Somalia.  It was the first delivery of relief since 2009, when the Shebab rebels that control the area expelled foreign aid groups. The rebels suspected the groups of being spies or Christian missionaries.

UNICEF has called for increased aid to be brought to the area. The UN estimates 10 million people face starvation in the region.
