Transcripts For CNN CNN News Central 20241008

That reality means for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Now im Kate Bolduan with John Berman, Sara Sidner is out today. Erin burnett joins us from Tel Aviv. This is Cnn News Central from the national Hurricane Center Hurricane milton is getting stronger and fast now a powerful category three storm, as it is churning in the gulf of mexico, the storm is forecast to take an incredibly dangerous path headed for highly populated areas of the West Coast of florida. Evacuation orders are now in place in three counties. There. Tampa mayor is telling residents to get out now please heed the warnings if you can go now, go. You cannot wait and see you have been told whats going to happen. Were fortunate if it wobbles one way or the other and we dont take the direct impact but lets plan on that absolutely. Lets get to cnns derek Van Dam for the very latest, weve had a lot of updates, just this morning. Derek, whats the latest . People in florida are waking up to a completely different storm than 24 hours ago. Just to put this into perspective, how fast the storm has strengthened the criteria for Rapid Intensification is actually thirtyfivemileperh our winds increase in a 24 hour period. This has more than doubled that in roughly 27 hours it went from a 50 mile per hour tropical Storm Yesterday Morning to 125 Mileperhour Behemoth so this is the storms path. And kate mentioned about this very dangerous trajectory of major Hurricane Milton, and its because of its Perpendicular Approach to the Florida Peninsula by the way, this has slowed down since yesterdays updates from the national hurricane center. So we are now anticipating a Wednesday Evening into Thursday Morning timeframe for that landfall of a major Hurricane Strike. You can see the watches that have been posted just north of Tampa Bay Southward Into naples and fort myers, focusing in on the catastrophic perfect Wind Threat, major Hurricane Force winds are likely across Pinellas County into sarasota, Southward Into lee county, not what we want to see considering the Storm Fatigue that everybody is dealing with from this will be the second major Hurricane Strike in the state and less than two weeks now youre looking at the first initial Storm Surge Inundation forecast from the national hurricane center. Thats eight to 12 feet for Tampa Bay. This is significant because if we go back two weeks, less than two weeks, in fact, we set Record Surge values in Tampa Bay in the surrounding areas because of major Hurricane Helene that was well off shore from this location. So we believe that the Storm Surge approaching with this dangerous trajectory of Hurricane Milton could eclipse some of the numbers that occurred with helene two weeks ago. It is already raining across the state of florida remember what happened across North Carolina that Prix Or Event the precursor to the landfall in hurricane. So the fact that were saturating the ground across florida means that a Flash Flood Threat is imminent. It will be ongoing and only ramp up from here localize amounts over a foot are certainly possible the list of dangerous would this storm grows exponentially by the minute we know the tornado . Nato threat, we know the Storm Surge threat, and we know the catastrophic Wind Threat as well, kate, im sorry, derek. Thank you so much for staying on top of that. As derek said, Wednesday Evening. Thursday morning, landfall expected this hour expected. Hear an update from Floridas Governor john. All right. This morning, reports of new Air Strikes and new Evacuation Orders as Israel Fighting multifront war on what is is the Oneyear Anniversary of the October 7 attacks across israel vigils, events, protests have been marking this day with more than 100 hostages still being held. Lets get right to cnns Erin Burnett in Tel Aviv this morning. Good morning, erin good morning, john. And you know, you talk about what were seeing at this moment, massive explosion over beirut moments ago when our Camera Crews were able to to observe the smoke that you can see over the horizon there after a night of heavy bombardment of beirut continuing to see warning after warning of incoming Projectile Fire into israel on the northern front, Israel Finding also saying that theyre mass evacuations in gaza and a massive trend going on by the idf. There already warnings today, having to take shelter here in Tel Aviv. And that is what hes like. One year later, Jeremy Diamond is here with me in Hostages Square and jeremy, as people are gathering here to pay their respects to grieve and an. Outrage that there are 97 people taken on October 7 Last year who are still not home. Many of whom are considered to be dead in gaza ahead of Security Forces here saying, in a sense, its the obvious because you have a massive war going on now with iran. But they did is less safe now than it was a year ago when the largest its attack on the jewish people since the holocaust began. Yeah, thats right. I spoke with ami ayalon, the former head of the shin bet, israels domestic intelligence service, and he told me that he believes israel has no safer today he then it was on October 6th, a year ago. And thats because israel is now in this multifront war and we are seeing it, the threat from iran, the threat from Hezbollah And Israel fighting on multiple fronts. And for the families of the hostages, they also feel like theyre not necessarily any closer to getting their Loved Ones back because they dont want to feel many of them the israeli government is sufficiently prioritizing he deal to see those hostages actually freedom i spoke with the mother of doron steinbrecher, a 30yearold woman who was taken from faraza. She told me that she just wants this war to end. She wants to come home and she is concerned that longer time goes by the less likely it is that her daughter will come back alive rather than in a body bag. Right. And i know weve been hearing from up to a third to a half of the hostages in gaza may be dead. They dont no, i understand Intelligence Services have said and this is important they get less intelligence every day about the status of those hostages. The decision has been made obviously too, in this war. Now, the focus is on this strike and everyones on a knifeedge. That 200 ballistic missiles hit here days ago israel is going to strike back and you hear from person after person, harder and more aggressively as it continues to escalate. No doubt about it. And the fact that this war is still ongoing makes it so hard for people to grieve even today. You know, it is such a mix of emotion here in israel today, people are not only commemorating the seventh, remembering the atrocities cities of that day, there also continuing to advocate for the hostages who are still being held captive. And of course, there is this sense of where is this actually going to end . Because it began on the seventh of began a year ago today. But this war is still going on and nobody knows how much longer it will go on for how many more lives will be lost on both sides before it an end, and whether or not israel will actually emerge more stable and more secure than it was on October 6 and his final decisions are being made on that strike how big it will be, how as if it will be, how consequential it will be in the course of this war. Kate, of course, you have a country where there are some who are war weary, but so many, including those soldiers that weve seen in the frontline, jeremy seen on the Front Line who are ready. They are ready. They want to go. And this is far from deescalating. They are ready to win however, that actually ends up being defined back to you and as youve seen, people behind you all throughout the morning, remembering the lives lost remembering and saying you allowed the names of those two not be forgotten who are still being held hostage in gaza. Thank you so much, aaron joining us right now is moshe lavi. Moshes brotherinlaw, Omri Miran own Brain Mid On is still being held hostage in gaza since he was kidnapped from his home in front of his wife. And two young daughters one year ago. Today. To think that were here today together, its hard to imagine considering how often weve talked moshe yeah weve weve met for the first time on october 17. Was that ten days after the atrocities . And i did not think ai will lead to still be in studios or in valleys, or Meeting Election officials a year later its hard for me to be here waking up this morning was so painful but we keep we keep going because we owe it to the hostages were two omri. We were to those who gave their life since October 7, and we are to the entire region because im heartbroken from the footage i see from gaza, from lebanon heartbroken for my people in israel because theres no It Everything is a standstill how is your sister doing today she its a difficult day for she posted the yesterday and facebook. Dont ask me what am okay. Or how are my girls . This is these questions are meaningless. Im not im not okay. My girls are not okay. But i keep on shouting. I keep on fighting, keep on sharing my voice for mri. And shell keep doing that despite the trauma, despite being a survivor of October 7, dispoto needing to raise girls in a displaced its place with our entire immediate family. Shell keep fighting and im im im a shield here ive been thinking about your nieces. How much of their life has been now spanned because theyre so young, two in six months when it was taken, right . How much of their life has now been spent without their father . Yeah we prepare a video for today. We posted on our Instagram Page for marie been going way home and we showed to those who follow the page and hopefully it will reach so many others. The. Many moments and we miss October 7. It means almost first steps. If its a mr. First words, you miss both their birthday almost first birthday won his third birthday it missed running, going to preschool and it may so many moments and im again, im so heartbroken to even describe it ronnie describes as best when every night she shares with her father what happened to her today. Every night she wishes him a good nature as his poster on top of our bed and we have to stay strong for her because shes courageously strong do you still think you can save him i think we can save omri and all the rest of the hostages who are still alive i think we can bring those who were murdered by hamas on October 7 are in captivity for burial. And i think we owe him, we owe it to them im frustrated and angry, but the lack of action both by the international community, which i think embolden hamas for this entire Year And Bolden hezbollah did not push actress like iran, like carter to do what theyre supposed to do, hold them accountable, and forced its hamas. Im frustrated with Mtg Government that prioritizes other things. And my Prime Minister, which i believe has both legitimate security concerns, but illegitimate personal and political interests that are playing with his policies but i think we can still we can still win this battle for the hostages today, i published an oped in The Hill well, i try to provide perhaps a new thought, perhaps introduced United Arab Emirates to the equation. There a stabilizing force in the middle east. They have relationship with both israel, the united states, iran, and russia on the other hand, perhaps they can bridge the gaps expanding iran, that its in their interest to force sinwar to a viable deal that also includes his exile because gazans deserve a better government, they deserve better leadership for a better future for both israelis and gazans i hope those creative ideas will help policymakers. Im eating them constantly. But they dont seem to listen and sometimes even lied to us in our face ive heard it from people of israel say that they deserve better than people the civilians in gaza, they deserve better all of this happening and now this, now, this Day Landing in the middle of the high holidays, like what is your wish for this new year then i shed a few days ago with my friends my wish i shared my, my agony that i wish to be normal again because we havent been normal or since October 7. Or which need to be whole again, for Rani And Alma to run to him. We embrace them, to my sister, Lishai To Ksm thats all i can wish. And i think that to a unification will also provide reunification for so many others who lost Loved Ones in this conflict. So many others who were separated from Loved Ones during this conflict, we need it, we owe it to the hostages. We are told the victims of October 7 because to build a better future, this is the key, bringing home the hostages. And i wish the elected officials in this country, from President Biden to whatever future administration there will be to every World Leader to my own Prime Minister, Prime Minister antonio, to understand, stop playing with peoples lives. So prioritize in your petty politics. Prioritize Human Beings over any other interest you owe it to us thank you so much for coming in will always remember Omri Miran has now been in captivity for 12 months. Thank you so much, John All right. Kate, we do have breaking news. Hurricane milton is now a category four Storm Explosive Growth thats not the important picture right now. The important picture is where that storm is headed right at the Florida Coast major population centers in its path, tampa, st. Pete sarasota, clearwater, naples, fort myers, all the way down the West Coast of florida right there. They need to pay attention to this. This is extremely bright.

Go standing the test of time that hlr your back, you may want to walk today, early voting begins in california, montana, and a Brassica Vice president harris is launching this all out. Media blitz. Stop this interview on a hugely popular podcast, call her daddy well also do the howard Stern Show with us now cnns Priscilla Alvarez covering all this so whats in store, priscilla well, certainly the campaign is trying to amplify the Vice President s message in the final weeks of this election, especially also as early voting has already begun. So the way theyre doing it it is trying to find those nontraditional media sources. And this case starting yesterday was the podcast call her daddy, it has millions of listeners, many of whom are young women. And it was over the course of that conversation that the Vice President was asked about those gop attacks, about her not having biological children, particularly a comment by Sarah Huckabee sanders that you didnt have anything to keep her humble. And this was her response to that theyre my children. And i love those kids to Death And Family comes in many forms. And i think that increasingly you know, all of us understand that this is not the 1950s anymore families come in all kinds of shapes and forms and their family nonetheless now this is one of multiple Media Rollouts this week today, there will be an interview with 60 minutes. This was already taped, and it will air tonight. Then tomorrow. She heads to New York where shes going to be participating in the view the howard Stern Show as you mentioned, as well as The Late Show with stephen colbert. And then later in the week, she has a Town Hall with univision in nevada. Now, of course, again, part of this is reaching different audiences where they are the howard Stern Show for example, is a mostly male audience and that is one space where the Vice President and her team are trying to make inroads in the campaign, seeing this as a way to drive turnout. Again, knowing that voting is around the corner, if not already starting in some states. And the way that they see of people getting to know her in a moment where polls are so close is by putting her out there in these types of interviews there has been some criticism that she is not doing enough of the big Mainstream Interviews where she might my face harder questions but their response to that is that shes meeting people where they are and that to them is key to driving out that turnout again, when polls are where they are, john, look if Collar Daddy has 10 Million people tuning in every week to the appellate cass, thats a pretty big audience right there. Priscilla alvarez. Thank you very much and donald Trump Today will be hosting im hosting an event marking the October 7 Terror Attack at his Florida Golf Club in remarks this morning, Donald Trump also, again declared that he quote, should get 100 of the jewish vote. Cnns Alayna Treene has much more on all of this this, and what could be what more we could hear from donald Trump Today. Good morning, alayna good morning, kate. Yes. So Donald Trump is really trying to make the October 7 anniversary. The main focus of today. He is doing that Event Tonight at his doral Golf Club in miami. Hes gonna be hosting jewish leaders, other republican allies. Hes also going to have an event earlier in New York to just mark again, October 7, and also kind of pay hammash to the hostages who are still in captivity. So this is a big focus of him in luck. This comes as Donald Trump has for months now, really tried to court jewish voters. We have heard him repeatedly in the past refer to himself as the most pro israel president. When he was president. In modern history he argues repeatedly that he believes that jewish voters should be supporting him. I do want to just walk through some of what he said this morning on that Radio Show set in, sit in the morning, or sit and friends in the morning, excuse me. I want to walk you through some of what he said. He when he was talking about what he has done for the jewish people and particularly those in israel. He talked about moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to jerusalem. And then he said, as you noted, i should get 100 of the jewish vote and i dont, its amazing. He went on to even claim that if you perhaps one wanted to run for Prime Minister of israel, that he would be able to do so successfully. And then he said, although bibis doing a lot better, right now, i think hes doing a pretty good job, maybe not this is very typical Donald Trump, when he talks about this issue, in particular, and its also the reason why hes received a lot of criticism from Rm Jewish Community because many of his comments, despite him speaking at many of these anti Semitism Or Fighting antisemitism events, he makes these inflammatory comments that really sometimes are trading in antisemitic tropes. Remember recently he held a pair of events In Dc For Jewish supporters. But during that, he actually said that if he did not win in november, that the Jewish Population in this country would be partially to blame. He also argue that any jewish voters who did not vote for him should have their heads examined. These are obviously very controversial comments that have received a lot of backlash. But at the same time, wild trump mocks these Anniversary Today with these pair of events, hes really going to continue to try to court these voters and trying to bring them over to his side because he believes they are crucial to winning in november Alayna Treene. Thank you so much. Tom all right. With us now, the former Policy Director for mitt romney, lanhee chen, and democratic Strategist Ayisha mills we were speaking a little while ago about the call her daddy podcast. They Kamala Harris did. And we played one bit of sound from it, but its another bit of sound that sort of setting Social Media Ablaze in its when she was asked about Sarah Huckabee sanders comments that because she doesnt have kids she isnt humble well, she doesnt have the same type of thing to keep her humble. Listen to how Vice President harris answer that question said, my kids keep me humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesnt have anything keeping her humble. How, did that make you feel . I dont think she understands that. There are a whole lot of women out here who one are not aspiring to be humble theres, a whole bunch of reaction on social media. Ayisha to that comment, one person wrote, Kamala Harris saying there are women who are not aspiring to be humble healed me. Why is that an important message if it is to said vance are living in the false the idea that the patriarchy is something that women want, that women want to be demure and humble and essentially sit and say nothing while the men around them do really idiotic Ignorance Grant things. And frankly say things that are harmful and try to control our bodies and our lives. And so Kamala Harris is speaking for more than half of the population when she says like women were not sitting around here looking to be humble and quiet and subservient and submissive. We are actually living our lives and should absolutely have the government out of our bedrooms, out of our wounds, and be able to control those. And so i think that what were seeing right now play out in this campaign is really two philosophies. Do we want to be governed by a group that thinks that men should just ransack Everybody And Control women . Or do we want women to have you can see in power lets take a step back. Lonnie from that and to what extent does this interview or questions and answers like that get to what you think will be the deciding factor in this campaign . Well, i think theres a couple of things, john, i mean, first of all, its obvious that if you look at this Media Strategy, what the Harris Campaign is trying to do is theyre looking at turnout, theyre thinking about who are the key constituencies we need to make sure show up on Election Day and eroding and obviously, ian sort of Voting Age women, suburban women, these are targets audiences for the Harris Campaign so part of this is about how can they engage in immediate strategy thats going to get to voters who they need to vote. So Thats Item Number one. But then the broader issue, john, is, how does she paint herself as the nonincumbent . Because this is an Election Cycle where americans are decidedly unhappy with the Status Quo and so if she is the incumbent, if she is positioned as the incumbent, thats not great news for her. So a lot of the interviews, a lot of the Media Strategy is going to be toward what i think the defining factor this election is going to be which is who is the challenger, who is the nonincumbent. And if thats Kamala Harris, shes going to win. If Donald Trump sort of gets to that spot, hes going to win. So thats really the question over these next 28 days or so before the election so were just getting some new audio in. And i hope im setting this up correctly. Donald trump and lonnie, i apologize. You have a Hurricane Right on your chest. We know the hurricane is not your fault for whatever your policies are the hurricane, you are not responsible for Donald Trump to do. Donald trump during an interview with hugh hewitt. This morning and talking about immigration in, brings up jeans and by that, i mean genetics and the genes of immigrants coming to this country. I want to listen to this. Were going to listen to it for the first time all together here, okay . How about allowing people to come to an openborder, not as 13,000 of which were murderers. Many of them murdered far more than one person. And theyre now happily living in the united states, you know, now a murderer. I believe this its in their jeans. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now our country right now, talking about the immigrants who come over, he was calling them murderers that discussion about the genes of immigrants, are you show your first reaction my first reaction is that we have long known that Donald Trump has revered the nazis. He has revered hitler, was read his bookies to say he added that his nightstand. Donald trump has had a very sinister philosophy wanting to be a dictator absolutely dividing people up based on who they are, based on factors about them that have to do with their erasing their gender, Et Cetera and when he uses language like this, i dont think that its a freudian slip. I think that the day sure. Of a Donald Trump is that he would absolutely try to exterminate an entire group of people because he thinks that their genes or somehow different than his and faulty. And i say this with all the sternness that you hear in my voice because it is serious and americans should recognize that we got to run, but i want to give you a chance to comment on that i mean, i think thats thats a little over torqued, quite frankly, but it clearly this is an example of an issue where trump would have the opportunity to have an advantage which is immigration but comments like this certainly not useful in driving that advantage. And so well see where this goes. This is going to be a critical issue, john, as we go into the last 28 days, how people feel about immigration and control the border is going to be a critical issue in this election as well. All right. Well, i want to go back and listen to that again in more of it there, but it interesting discussion whenever someone brings up genes and genetics, ayisha meals lanhee chen, our thanks to both of you. Appreciate it okay. Breaking news, Hurricane Milton has now strengthened even further. Now, a strong category four hurricane started the morning with it is as a category two.

Com Today Reason i see My Life Tonyell timeline instead of before and after its all part of the total story super mad, the Christopher Reeve Store at pg 13 breaking news, Hurricane Milton is now a category four hurricane. The Florida Florida Ron Desantis is giving a live update. Lets go to it yesterday morning. So this is a tropical storm, might become a hurricane yesterday, but probably by today and it became a hurricane very quickly and so not only is it a hurricane its already a major hurricane and its now a category four hurricane with maximum sustained stay in winds at 150 miles per hour. It is expected to make landfall on the West Coast of florida sometime between Wednesday Evening or perhaps even very early on thursday. This has gone slower then the projections were in terms of the how its moving towards florida. And if that continues, its going to push back when landfall will happen. Of course, you can see impacts prior to the eyewall making landfall. We have made a Prelandfall Declaration Request to fema for support, and kevin has been working with but the administrator and we anticipate positive approval on that. We have 51 counties in florida currently under a State Of Emergency. The Executive Order that i signed over the weekend also ordered all Disaster Debris Management sites in landfills to be open 24 7 in the lead up to Hurricane Milton, we had a lot of debris left from Hurricane Helene on Floridas Gulf Coast that creates a huge hazard. If you have a major Hurricane Hit in that area. This week. So weve Marshaled State Assets to be able to help with that mission and were gonna continue to do that until its safe till its no longer safe to do so we do have a category four hurricane. It is currently located 745 miles westsouthwest of tampa, and it is not move terribly quickly, but that obviously could change going forward Storm Surge watch has been issued for the florida Gulf Coast from Mainland Monroe County northward to the suwannee river, the Dixie Levy County line eight to 12 feet peak Storm Surge is potential for northern pinellas all the way down to charlotte, including in Tampa Bay . Five to ten feet peak Storm Surge is possible from yankee Town South Word to the pascoe Pinellas County line and from englewood southward to benito beach, including Charlotte Harbor Hurricane watches have been issued for portions of West Central Florida and Floridas Nature Coast tropical Storm Watch extend further south and north through Southwest Florida and the keys and along portions of the florida panhandle. Vision of Emergency Management is busy Facilitating Hundreds Of Resource requests from communities as we prepare for the impacts. Weve already set, sent major truckloads of Food And Water to central Florida And Preparation for points of Distribution Sites after the storm, were also coordinating the deployment will stand to the latest update from Floridas Governor Ron Desantis as the as that state now preparing as for another major hurricane to head towards its West Coast. This is just less than two weeks since there are still starting continuing to clean up from Hurricane Helene less than two weeks ago. Lets get over to cnns derek Van Dam, whos been tracking this all throughout the morning. Now a category for and the governor made clear being 51 of the states 67 counties now under have now a State Of Emergency declarations. And here we are now staring down a category four monster, right . The beauty of the technology we have available to us as were getting these real time updates from the Hurricane Hunters who sole job is to fly into the middle of this storm and as we get these dates of these minute by minute updates, we see the winds and the pressure that they find and they hadnt bowled capsule hawks on this latest statement from them that they were experiencing severe turbulence in the southern southwestern portion of the storm where they measured winds in excess of 162 miles per hour at flight level. Now ive flown with the Hurricane Hunters before and that type of turbulence doesnt exist. If its a, if its a leveled off storm, if its strengthening rapidly, thats when you get that type of turbulence. So how in the world did we get here . Well, very warm Ocean Waters and now 150 mile per Hour Storm from with a ten Nautical Mile wide pinhole i just like a Ice Skater brings in their arms and spins faster and faster centripetal force is allowing this storm to spin faster and faster and get stronger and stronger. And it did so rapidly actually doubling materia for Rapid Intensification in just about a days time. Heres the projected path. This is so important desantis talking about it, it has slowed down in its expected arrival time. So late wednesday into thursday, theres a look at the watches and just to put this into context, kate, were talking about nearly 100 mile per Hour Increase in wins in roughly 30 hours. That is phenomenal.

And this is Cnn Today marks one year since the hamas Terror Attacks on israel, 1,200 people killed and 250 others kidnapped, 101 people believed to still be held hostage in gaza. And then the subsequent war between Israel And Hamas has also created eight desperate humanitarian crisis that can continues to play out in gaza. Gazas Health Ministry says nearly 42,000 people have been killed in the enclave. They do not make a distinction between civilian and combatant. Nearly 2 Million million people have been displaced and overnight, we have heard about israel making new moves into the northern part of gaza and telling people in the southern part of gaza issuing new Evacuation Orders there as the offensive, as the Operation Offensive continues, there joining us now to talk about what is happening today with that humanitarian crisis is dr. Tania hodgson, cofounder of gaza. Gaza medic voices. Shes also an intensive Care Doctor with Doctors Without Borders and dr. Thaer ahmed, an Emergency Physician from chicago who traveled to gaza to treat patients and help earlier this year. Thank you both so much for being here. Dr. Hasan. How do you reflect on what has happened in the last year, the tragic Terrorist Attack on israel, the war with hamas afterward that is left so many palestinians dead and sparked this desperate humanitarian crisis that continues to play out even think about it as a war anymore. You have a population of 2 Million people in effectively besieged in a Concentration Camp that have been killed indiscriminately for, 365 days now. And i know you said that the Ministry Of Health does not distinguish between civilians and combatants, but neither did you, when you referred to ovals killed on October 7, the death of any Human Being as tragic and especially the deaths of civilians who have nothing to do with any of this. What i can tell you to help you delineate those figures is 70 69 . If you want to be accurate of those killed are women and children in gaza women and children, that that is not a normal doctor. So sorry. Is there i dont know this conflict is having to do with me, but i dont know if ive lost audio, if everyone out there can still hear the doctor, but i okay. Im sorry, doctor.

Com right now and see how much you can save im Bill Weir on the California Coast and this is cnn and welcome back. Both doctors are back with me. The technical issue has now been worked out. Sincere apologies to everyone. Dr. Ahmad, if we can just pick up lets talk about the situation on the ground in gaza as it stands today. One year later, what are you hearing from doctors that are still working in Gaza Today about what theyre facing, what the civilians there are facing, and what theyre having to do to try to bring people care deteriorated, its become exponentially worse and kate make no mistake. I mean, its because of how israel is prosecuting this war that were in this humanitarian catastrophe. I mean, were unable to supplies in because the border is totally shut down, were not able to get patients out who needs specialty care. And it seems like life in gaza is whats come under assault. I spoke to a physician and a Nurse Yesterday and i was talking to them about a conference that we were holding here in chicago and they were telling me, oh, maybe i was telling him, i hope you can come next year and they said there are no visas to get out of gaza. And what theyre saying is that there are only tickets to help when it comes to gaza, that entire population is coming under attack. And you mentioned actually at the beginning, about these Evacuation Orders, these Evacuation Orders are for three hospitals in the north. Kamala adwan hospital, indonesian hospital, and alawda hospital. Why are hospitals still coming under Evacuation Orders . Why are we still hearing about hospitals coming on . Under attack and Health Care workers being killed. I want to just mention dr. Haley, a colleague of mine who i worked with at nasr hospital, brilliant young surgeon when the israeli military found in the hospital, he refused he stood his patients and tried to keep them alive as water, electricity, and supplies were cut off he was subsequently abducted and for six months he languished in Israeli Dungeons until he was released two days ago. Do you know what dr. Khaled asserted . He went right back to Nasa Hospital and started working with patients again. I mean, if it wasnt for these palestinian Health Care workers, wed be in a much more grim situation. And the final thing ill say is 700 Hundred kids in gaza, 700 infants never saw their first birthday in gaza over the last year 200 of them born and killed him. Conflict 200 killed in this assault i mean, the situation is so dire, we need a ceasefire, we need it right now. And dr. Hassan, speaking of the evacuation Orders Evacuation orders in the north and now in the south that weve seen today. One resident of Northern Gaza who was just this weekend had to flee once again, told the Associated Press this and i think it was pretty jarring, telling and its striking. Said this since October 7 to the present day, this is the 12th time that i and my children, eight individuals have been homeless and thrown into the streets and do not know where to go where do you think it does . What do you think is going to happen with this humanitarian crisis with the additional factor of gaza about to enter the winter, which often brings Heavy Rain to the region humanitarian crisis is what you deal with when you have a hurricane, what you deal with when you have an earthquake, you have an an insult and a humanitarian response. This is my my career. This is what i do for a living every single person who does this for a living will tell you the same thing. This is different. This is not a humanitarian crisis kate, and im going to say it very clearly further viewers to hear this is genocide when 70 of the population that are killed are women and children. When the population is starved of food, of water, of medicine, when you have attacks, repeated attacks on all the hospitals, the clinics that Aid Distribution sites, the humanitarian Aid Agencies that tried to help more un workers have been killed in gaza than in uns history. When you have over 900 families that have been exterminated, that have been taken off of the civil registry, killed when you have over 17,000 children that have lost one or both when you have Bakeries Aid Distribution sites churches, mosques schools, and in the last three days in the last 24 hours. In fact, a Hospital Today that was bombed as you just reported, the hospital where i personally was working and i can tell you they are working every second of every day to try and sustain life. When Israels Strategy and evidenced on the ground suggests that theyre doing the exact opposite they were targeted today there was a Rehabilitation Hospital that Rehabilitation Center that was targeted in the last 24 hours. There was an orphanage that was targeted earlier this week. These are the types of places that are being targeted and so its really hard to hear it over and over and over again, framed in the way that its being framed in the media, which frankly kate is very misleading. It is very misleading. 365 days of this Death Tolls that are so far outdated. We have no we have no idea how many people are killed. But in in im genuinely afraid about what were going to find out when the dust settles. History books will be written on this and countries will have to reckon, Media Agencies will have to reckon with their major role in the genocide of an entire population and in the destruction of humanitarian Law And Rule of order for her desperate situation, getting more desperate doctors thank you for your time.
