It's Tuesday, October 17th, I'm Josie Duffy Rice.

And I'm Trevelle Anderson, and this is What A Day.

On today's show, a federal judge slapped Donald Trump with a gag order in his election

in Gaza, where innocent people still don't have water because Israel cut off their access

to it 10 days ago, more than 2,800 people have been killed and 10,850 wounded.

That's according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

Israel also now puts the number of hostages taken by Hamas at almost 200, about 50 more

one of the captives.

It shows 21-year-old Mia Shem, who is a French-Israeli dual national.

She was captured by Hamas last week, along with many others during a desert rave early

the camera she's in Gaza, but without any specifics.

It ends with her pleading in Hebrew to be returned to her family as quickly as possible.
