About this episode
Two American hostages were released by Hamas and are now in the care of Israel Defense Forces. Judith Tai Raanan and her 17-year-old daughter, Natalie Raanan, were kidnapped during the initial attack against Israel two weeks ago while visiting family. Amir Tibon met the Raanans while they were at a celebration for the kibbutz’s anniversary. He knew Judith’s mother very well, calling her a “neighbor and a friend.” He tells Anderson Cooper how he felt when he heard the Raanans had been freed. Plus, aid agencies in Gaza are warning that hospitals are nearly out of fuel as humanitarian aid is stuck in Egypt. CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward was near the Rafah border crossing in Egypt. She joins AC360 to give an update on when the aid is expected to cross the border into Gaza.
