About this episode
Humanitarians say the crisis in Gaza is like nothing they’ve ever seen before.
There are especially grave concerns about the lives of children, after the deaths of at least 4000 children in Gaza since the Israel-Hamas war began.
It’s why 18 international aid agencies – including Doctors Without Borders and Save the Children – have now called for a ceasefire.
Israel, however, says it can’t enter a ceasefire until hostages taken by Hamas are freed and the group is removed from power.
Today, Save the Children’s Jason Lee on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and world editor for The Saturday Paper, Jonathan Pearlman, on why a ceasefire isn’t happening in the Middle East.
