Children in Gaza

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8
PROGRAM #10648 12:00 PM PT

Children in Gaza. 

Children continue dying and being displaced in gruesome numbers after the Israeli army continues to raid and bomb Gaza, including hospitals and refugee camps. The United Nations calls the toll on children “catastrophic.” What’s happening in Gaza? What are the living conditions of the population? What’s the state of the ceasefire talks? What to expect from the last days of the Biden administration and the first days of the Trump presidency?

Guests: Medea Benjamin, Co-founder, Codepink, Washington, DC; Pietro Ameglio, Peace Activist, Professor, Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, National Autonomous University of Mexico-UNAM, Mexico City, MX; Gilberto Conde, Professor, Center for Asian and African Studies, El Colegio de México, Mexico City, MX.

Fire and Evacuations in the Los Angeles Area. California firefighters are battling high winds and the four fires they spawned: the Hurts, Woodley, Palisades and Eaton fires. Flames from the fire were generated Tuesday, increasing rapidly with high Santa Ana winds and leaving behind at least two deaths, dozens injured, thousands of residents evacuated from their homes and thousands of acres and buildings burned.

Guests: Ruben Tapia, Reporter/Producer, Los Angeles, CA; Alejandro Maciel, Reporter, Los Angeles, CA.
