Hey everybody, it's Mariel Segarra.

Last weekend, militants from the terrorist group Hamas killed more than a thousand people,

including children, in an attack on Israel.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, Hamas has taken hostages as well.

Israel, in retaliatory attacks, has killed more than a thousand Palestinians so far,

including at least 90 children, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

And humanitarian groups are warning of a coming crisis, as Israel is promised to cut off food, water, and

electricity to Gaza, where nearly half of residents are under 18. The news is alarming for anyone,

but especially for kids who may have heard about it from their peers or on social media and have

a lot of questions. Becky Sullivan is a reporter for NPR's news desk, and she's

been covering this. On this episode of Life Kit, she's going to share some advice with us on how you

can talk to kids about this conflict and other news events that involve death and violence.
