Total federal student loan debt in the U.S. stands at approximately $1.73 trillion, with 43 million borrowers as of 2023, and has experienced significant growth over the past 15 years, increasing by about 232.7% since 2009. The average federal student loan debt across the 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia amounts to $29.9 billion per state in 2024, according to the Education Data Initiative. This visualization, via Visual Capitalist's Kayla Zhu, shows the average student loan debt per borrower, by state. Only federal student loan debt is included. Washington, D.C. leads the U.S. in average federal student loan debt at $54,795 per borrower and has the highest share of borrowers, with 17.2% of residents in debt. Many borrowers in D.C. are recent graduates, including a significant number with master’s degrees, compounding the strain of the city’s steep cost of living. Second-ranked Maryland, which borders D.C., is also one of the most educated states in the country. Around 43% of Maryland residents have earned at least a bachelor’s degree, significantly higher than the national average of 35%. North Dakota has the nation’s lowest average student loan debt, and it’s the only state with average debt under $30,000, at $29,647. Only about 11.2% of state residents have student loan debt.

Iran will support Syria against US-Israel plot; True Promise III definite: Fmr. IRGC chief A former chief commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the United States and the Israeli regime provoked Takfiri terrorists into invading and occupying the Syrian city of Aleppo to expand the war from Lebanon and Gaza into Syria. Major General Mohsen Rezaei, who is currently a member of Iran’s Expediency Council, made the remarks in a live interview with Al Jazeera news network on Sunday. He said Wednesday’s surprise assault on Aleppo by foreign-backed terrorists was “a major political mistake” that violated the 2020 ceasefire deal between the government of Syrian President Bashar al- Assad and Takfiri militants.

UNRWA halts aid delivery via key Israeli-held crossing as hunger grips Gaza The UN Palestine refugee agency (UNRWA) has suspended the delivery of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip through Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing due to numerous restrictions imposed by Israel against the blockaded Palestinian territory. In a post on X on Sunday, the UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini said that Israel’s ongoing siege, restrictions, lack of safety, and targeting of local police make it impossible to carry out humanitarian operations in Gaza. “We are pausing the delivery of aid through Kerem Shalom … The road out of this crossing has not been safe for months. On 16 November, a large convoy of aid trucks was stolen by armed gangs. Yesterday, we tried to bring in a few food trucks on the same route. They were all taken,” UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini said in a post on X. “The responsibility of protection of aid workers and supplies is with Israel as the occupying power. They must ensure aid flows into Gaza safely and must refrain from attacks on humanitarian workers,” Lazzarini said. The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
