Summary

As Israel says its troops have entered Gaza City, the humanitarian crisis is stark. Bakeries in North Gaza are closed, according to the UN, and hospitals are nearly out of fuel, says the Palestinian Red Crescent. The UN Secretary-General today called for an unconditional release of all the hostages, but also pleaded for Palestinians to be seen as separate from Hamas. The IDF gave remaining Gaza City residents five hours to evacuate south, but as Salma Abdelaziz reports, the destruction caused by Israeli bombing means travel is slow and dangerous.  Also on today's show: David Miliband, CEO and President, International Rescue Committee / Former UK Foreign Secretary; Daniel Kurtzer, Former US Ambassador to Israel; Astead Herndon, National Political Reporter, The New York Times  Learn more about your ad choices.
