11:02 am
severe are several more neighborhoods in the southern city of rafah where millions of displaced palestinians are seeking refuge. the idf says about 300,000 people have already fled. these evacuations following new deadly round of air strikes across gaza. cnn's scott mclean has more frederick, a new airstrikes in northern and central gaza have flooded hospitals with a new round of victims included amongst them, a journalist, his wife, and 12 son and the death toll may yet still rise as people search through the rubble of those airstrikes thanks with little more than their bare hands searching at this point for bodies. >> and the video of the aftermath and the chaotic hospitals that have taken in those victims is pretty hard to watch. many of the victims are children, some of them are very tiny infants the idf declined to comment on the strikes other than to say that it was working to dismantle hamas and insisting that it follows
11:03 am
international law and takes measures to mitigate civilian harm. that is notable only because the us state department released a report yesterday saying that it is reasonable to assess that israel has not always followed internationally and the the idf just this morning has told people in parts of northern gaza to evacuate to save for areas. and in several districts of rafah as well, to move to a humanitarian zone along the coastline zone where people have pitch tents along the roadway and along the coast. and there's very little in the way of infrastructure to support that volume of people. the idf says that there are now 300,000 people there. that is the double. the estimate that they gave on thursday. >> there are also people in rafah who are struggling to leave at all. >> some are unwilling to go, some are struggling with the logistics of moving around this active war zone, or the cost of moving around one person told cnn that the situation there is beyond bad. it also seems like israel is undeterred by the us
11:04 am
pausing shipments of weapons to israel because of its continued to advance in rafah. the idf says that it has enough weaponry to go this alone. the israeli security cabinet has approved an expansion of the operating area. all of this just as aid into southern gaza slows to a trickle. if that fredricka thank you so much, scott mclean all right. >> very few non-government agencies or aid groups are able to get into gaza to provide basic needs and food among the few which are able to help the non-profit organization international network for aid relief and assistance the president and co-founder is a familiar face to many of our viewers over the years are with damon. she's joining us right now. arwa great to see you. you are very familiar with conflict
11:05 am
locations as a reporter, you've covered so many from afghanistan to iraq and syria. and you've also been a humanitarian aid worker, a long the way what have been your observations there in gaza? it's great to see you again, by the way, but i know you're now full-time with your organization. what have you been able to see firsthand in gaza that strikes you given the familiarity that you've had with so many conflict zones i was in gaza last month and a lot of us within both the journalism sector and the humanitarian sector. >> but having this conversation about exactly what is it about gaza that makes it so different. and it actually good goes beyond the scale and scope and intensity and severity of the physical destruction and just the countless deaths and injuries. >> it's when you get there and you realize the real psychological obliteration that has taken place when you are
11:06 am
moving through a place like this? >> this is just to show how densely populated it is. a road that would take you normally say ten minutes to drive can take you about two hours to navigate because every single building that could be converted into a shelter is a shelter. and then the tense just spill out of these areas and they cover the sidewalks and in front of them, you have small stalls that are selling this and that. and then you have the human traffic just moving through all of this, navigating its way in between the handle of vehicles that are on the road that donkey carts, because donkey carts right now our substitution for public transport because there is no fuel. and when you look at people's faces, frederica, you don't see life people's movements are looked argillic, mechanical, dead end, and add to all of that. now this increased wave of fear and panic and anxiety because people don't know where to go.
11:07 am
humanitarian aid has not gotten into gaza through it. off, or kerem shalom since may 5th bright because block a routes are closed. >> as you just mentioned, a the roads are impossible and when we talk about today's news involving israel, that now says immediately evacuate can wait from rafah. people don't have anywhere to go because the threat of this ground offensive is very real. where are people expect it to go if they leave or are asked to immediately evacuate rafah look israel has this delusional notion of oh, move to mawasi, which is basically a beach front area it's sand dunes and people have been moving there. >> it's absolutely packed and it's not a safe zone. it's
11:08 am
not a humanitarian zone. there's zero sanitation, there's very little access to humanitarian assistance. there, and there also expecting people to move to khan younis, which is little more than a pile of rubble but people don't have a choice and so they get shepherded around the gaza strip and they themselves will say it's the sec, twist, cool aim, because we'll all remember that originally, israel told people to move to the south. the south was supposed to be a safe zone. rafat supposed to be a safe zone acceptant number was and now they're being forced or told to move to move from there and face the consequences and you really end up with this situation where people are almost paralyzed to a certain degree because they don't know where to go. they don't know how to stay safe, and yet they have to keep moving because what choice do they have at this stage? but the the fundamentals on the ground are
11:09 am
that nowhere in gaza is safe. >> and these humanitarian zones, these safe zones that israel keeps talking about, they do not exist, have never existed, and israel is not and has not ford needed with humanitarian organizations to establish something viable yours it is a small team comparatively, and you write on cnn my small inara, the acronym for your group team provides services across 13 shelters and makeshift camps. we distribute everything from hot meals to washable sanitary underwear, but the crux of our activities centers around running mental health and psychosocial activities for children. these include group play, games, aren't and other creative outlets. >> i mean, how do you see that your teams are making an impact and kinda filling the gap? >> upper others cannot you
11:10 am
know, when you're there. and this is sort of a part of the tragedy of all of it. >> you realize that what you do actually it feels small because the need is so great, it's so vast, it's so overwhelming but we have to keep reminding ourselves that just because we're only able to serve a small portion of the population that does not negate the impact that we're able to have on them. >> and especially for talking about the mental health space for children in this kind of an emergency where the trauma is still ongoing and the trauma is still constant and triggers are happening constantly. every single day. it's really just about creating a small distraction for children's about bringing that spark back into there. eye. even if it's just for a little bit of time and we do things like we set solar panels up, but on shelter that was basically pitch once the sun went down but we're also in a very sort of
11:11 am
difficult situation right now because we have children's clothing, we have diapers, we have baby powder, we have food parcels, we have all of this aid that right now is stuck in egypt and can't actually get inside to the population that needs it and supplies that are inside, they are going to finish very, very soon. and we're going to just see an extra added layer to this complete and total nightmare arwa damon. >> so glad to be with us. i mean, you've always done extraordinary work as a journalist and now extraordinary work providing this humanitarian aid and assistance. thanks so much all the best to you too. all right. the new report from the biden administration about the possible misuse of american weapons by israeli forces in gaza plus not too late to see northern lights as a rare solar storm hits earth this weekend catie can witness this historic space event next moscow

11:16 am
your doctor about, oh tesla when you're a small business owner you to-do list can be a log that's why progressive makes it easy to see if what the commercial auto quote online. >> so you can take on all your other to do's already did see if you could say that progressive commercial.com the assignment with adi cornish, listen wherever you get your podcasts all right, you need to look to the sky tonight and get your camera ready because solar activity is creating a colorful display of aurora's here on earth. >> it's the strongest solar storm to hit earth since 2003 and has the potential to disrupt the power grid. any electronic communication throughout the country as well
11:17 am
despite those risks, the northern lights are expected to last through sunday morning. so if you missed friday, aurora is you just make it another channel? let's just see them ten night, depending on where you are. of course. allison chin, char and i plan to look to the sky this evening. we've got a schedule, don't we hate something to treat because typically speaking, when you see the aurora is green is the most common color. >> but on these types of events, when they are such strong wrong solar storms, you actually tend to get more of the pink and the red colors, which is not as common, take a look at this image behind me. >> this is from seattle and you can actually see all of those colors we just mentioned. you've got the greens, the blues, purples, reds, pinks, all of it all mixed in one now, granite, they are a little bit farther north, but even areas farther south are seeing this is actually this southern lights, this image taken from new zealand again, you can see that very deep pink, red color. now, we can still see these. these are more rare to see this particular kind of color, especially here in the. so take
11:18 am
for example this one, this is seen just south of jacksonville, florida? yes. even that far south, they were able to see the lights, but notice too that it's we're of those red and pink colors. and again, it's because of the latitude, those lower latitudes tend to see more of this color on the spectrum than they do some of the others. but as we mentioned, if you missed it all last night and you're feeling upset about it, you'd like another chance. you will get that opportunity tonight. now, in terms of timing, the earlier in the evening is going to be the better timeline, especially up until about 11:00. you can still see them after that, but it really starts to diminish pretty quickly. the where obviously the farther north you are, the better odds you're going to have. but even areas farther south georgia, florida, southern california, the only thing that really may limit it for it is going to be a lot of these clouds you see here under the gulf coast and up and areas of the northeast as well okay. >> fingers crossed no cloud cover or, you know, my eyes are working. >> let's hope all right. >> alison ginger, thanks so much for more on this global light show. i'm joined now by
11:19 am
paul d. melee expedition leader for the nasa johnson space center astronomical society great to see you to talk about aurora's with you. >> it's so exciting. so paul, you've also going leading public outreach tours to view the northern lights since 2012. so if you're on a tour, if i were on a tour with you this weekend, how would you explain what is happening? >> well, what's amazing about this is that the sign every once in awhile suffers explosions in the atmosphere. and generates high-energy particles that propagate toward the earth. sometimes. and other directions at other times. and we just, we're lucky enough to be hit by a big burst of very high energy particles that hit us at the right time. and created what might be called one of the great storms that have occurred over the last 500 years. it's been about 16 of those that have been logged and
11:20 am
we were just lucky enough to be in the middle of one. i'm here in the lower edge of arizona and we never we have aurora is here that are visible to the naked eye. >> but last time i took my camera went out and took some photos and really had a hard time not looking, just continually wanted to stay out later and later regarding what it was really cool. oh, so feeling a little sleep deprived at this morning and it was well worth it. it sounds absolutely. >> but what i was going to say is that the stores that i lead our to alaska generally, i've seen auroras by airplane, by ship, and of course on land and alaska, but that's where you really get the best are orange because they are directly underneath what's called the aurora oval. and so there are auroras, they're mostly all the time except of course, of the summer weather's there's not enough darkness to see them like we're getting into now. >> this is kind of a rarity. the lower latitudes, meaning from lower canada all the way
11:21 am
south towards the coast got an a exceptional treat, last night. >> i don't think it's going to be strong tonight, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed. okay. >> i mean, so often people make big plans to travel abroad particularly going to iceland to see something like these. there were a borealis. so how would you compare what you saw last? hi to what people spend big money to go see i would say it was somewhat disappointing in the sense that where we are we we saw the reddish color and the aurora. >> and that was pretty cool, but we didn't see it that well, there was not any action like are showing right now where the lights they're moving around. it was a fairly stable type of appearance. it came and went mostly one color, reddish, and butt up north. >> just got some photos from friends of mine at boston. they had a lot of action so
11:22 am
depending upon where you're located. it might've it looked a whole lot better as the farther north in latitude that you were wow. >> i mean, it's hard to believe, but, you know, saying these beautiful pictures, so many folks saw some amazing things such as yourself last night, i'm looking forward to it tonight, even if it's just one singular color, i'm okay with that blue to get away from for your wonderful. all right. >> paul, d. ma'ale. thank you so much thank you the biden administration is questioning how israel is using american weapons in gaza as the idf intensifies its attacks how biden's handling of the war is weighing on young voters in michigan as well storing the debate over transgender athletes that i believed they needed to sacrifice it's being trans in order to swim, we can't neglect fairness and popes to be inclusive. the

11:28 am
inconsistent, with, international humanitarian law. but as you mentioned, there, it stopped short of saying that israel violated the law. now of course, this stems from that february national security memorandum, which required a determination on this matter, but also whether israel withheld humanitarian aid from gaza in violation of us law now while this report is critical, it does not mandate any actions by the israeli government or mark any type of us policy changes toward israel. and that has received some pushback from allies of the president who say that the contents just still don't amount to policy changes by the us, which is what they want but to see, but as you mentioned for this two comes against the backdrop of the president issuing a pretty stark warning in an interview with cnn that he would withhold some weapons from israel if it goes into that major ground operation in rafah is so big question mark, but there is no doubt that there are still underlying tensions between the two countries as israel
11:29 am
continues to wait it's war against hamas in gaza fred. >> all right. priscilla alvarez and seattle. thanks so much young michigan voters are revealing major warning signs for the biden campaign. cnn's john king travel to the critical battleground state for his all over the map series to find out how i'll the war in gaza is eroding michigan college students support of the biden administration and how it may impact their vote this fall protest amid the commencement celebration time-honored tradition on campus but this one is complicated jake gray and alicia jealous are now university of michigan graduates and now former co-presidents of the college democrats proud their school as part of a global statement was in my application letter that this was a campus of like a history of protests, a rich
11:30 am
history of social justice movements. yeah, you worried though about months of war and death months of student anger at a president who can't afford to lose michigan how much is it going to hurt the precedent? >> however much he decides? yes. >> that starts with calling for a ceasefire for listening to his student voters across the country. >> this is from our first visit five months ago, protest against biden's handling of the israel-hamas conflict. we're just beginning it's it fair to say you glad the election is not tomorrow the election was nearly a year away then six months away now, michigan is up for grabs, and i did not think i'd be saying this right now. and i wish i wasn't saying this right now, but i'm i am genuinely concerned about which way michigan will go. >> both hope a summer away from campus protests helps younger voters see a bigger picture. >> i'm certainly not voting for the guy who is in court right now and who incited an insurrection and put three extremists on the supreme court, who they're four took away rights for the first time
11:31 am
in history. who's demonized the lgbtq community of which i'm a part of that right now. things are wrong. some friends talked about staying home or voting third party, hundreds of thousands of people in gaza and across palestine have been displaced, have been starved, have been killed. i think it really does come down to people's own judgments on the motivation the president, oh, what acute boy, summer matkin is home in suburban detroit processing freshman year at wayne state. >> can you talk about politics for me back in november, big reservations about the president's age, but zeroed out if the choice was biden or trump i'd go biden. >> now, not so sure. >> no matter how many taylor swift references you make, you will never understand us. my thing is, i think he has handled everything with israel and palestine terribly still leaning biden, but part of a consequential debate with friends. a lot of our generation is also considering going third party, but i kind of fear it's going to split up the votes and end up having it fall back on trump, which i
11:32 am
wouldn't want to happen, maya siegmann began the school year, likely biden ends it. definitely biden happy with her grades, even more happy. it is over is terrifying. it's terrifying the escalation of other campuses has made me fear for my campus siegmann offers nuance often missing when politicians discuss the campus protests. no problem with calls to end the killing or the speed up humanitarian aid. but fear when she sees banners like this, the intifada was a violent armed uprising targeting jews you're wearing your star david. if you ever taken taken it off? >> i did. i took it off actually for about a week or two. and then i put it on four or five months ago and ever took it off. >> a fierce supporter of israel, but are fierce critic of prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> i personally don't agree with how he is operating. i think that he is trying to prolong the war for ebrahim ghazali also speaks with nuance. he is no fan of hamas and acknowledges israel's right
11:33 am
to respond to terrorism. >> we don't want human rights violations if you're going to conduct war conduct it within the rule of law international law that's all people are asking for nothing more. >> dissolves in two groups, critical to biden's michigan math, a younger voter, and an arab-american. he just wrapped his first year at wayne state law school. >> it's been stressful just seeing people that look like me and just human beings, seeing human beings on my, on my phone screen being killed day in, day out. and what's worse as an american, i have to see my government funding so stressful. >> a biden voter in 2020 who says the president is in deep trouble in detroit, dearborn, and other michigan communities where arab and muslim americans number in the tens of thousands with older people, i would definitely say they're not voting for biden for younger voters were stuck in sense that it's biden or trump. the only reason i haven't closed the door is because i think he still has an ability to change course and set a precedent for
11:34 am
the future. >> because all summer goals take a break then starting the third party candidates and watch to see if the president truly does change course, or if the encampment's are still a thing. when classes resume in the fall, john king, cnn, and arbor, michigan thank you john king. >> all right. next, a special trip for the duke and duchess of sussex. >> details next he was, trump's former lawyer and fixer. now, michael cohen is expected to testify against his old boss. will we hear any new bombshells from this key player witness tests? good morning in the trump hush money trial monday at nine eastern on cnn right now, pet dander skin cells, mold spores, pollen, and dirt are being sucked into your air ducks get cleaner air in system efficiency. >> now, with stanley steamer, your air ducts are clean until there family steamer clean i have moderate to severe
