20 minutes or so. seeing how the locals react to it made me feel a lot more comfortable. a lot of people just sort of walked out of their buildings and checked on their neighbors and made sure everyone was okay, and that kind of made me feel a lot more calm. but definitely as it was happening, i was like, oh man in the zone. >> but most people get used to the smaller one, the bigger ones. of course, it's scary. >> passengers arriving on a flight from taiwan at sfo last night were in the air when the earthquake happened, receiving messages from friends and family, though they said earthquakes are common out there, so they thought most people were prepared. now we do know of two flights arriving in the 6:00 hour. one landed uh- about ten minutes ago, and there is a third flight arriving from taiwan in the 8:00 hour as well. that's when we're hoping to hear from some more passengers who experienced this earthquake firsthand. live at sfo. lena howland abc seven news thank you, lena, and stay with abc seven news for updates on the

we first showed you this video on monday. first responders from sonoma county were called in to help rescue cody carattini from the side of a cliff in marin county. sunday evening, in an interview with abc news, cody says he was minutes away from losing his grip. he would have fell into the ocean. >> the further i got up, the more rocks started crumbling or falling off and my feet started slipping. and at that point i realized, you know, i was stuck and i needed help. and so, like, i turned and like, shook my head no towards my girlfriend. and then she knew that i needed help . >> the rescue took about a half hour, and first responders had to use night vision to find him. you can hear more from cody about the rescue and how he's recovering on good morning america. that's right after right? that's right after us here on abc seven, we have all seen the headlines about the surge of migrants coming to america, and some people are ending up here in the bay area. >> but there hasn't been a good way to track how many until now, data about migrant families is

now being tracked by san francisco unified immigration status is not a barrier to getting kids in school, so enrolling students is one of the first things many families do when they arrive in san francisco. sfusd does not ask a family's immigration status because san francisco is a sanctuary city. >> we're seeing about, i would say, an average of 150 newly enrolled students every single month since about december of 2023, and every month somewhere between one like 5 to 15 of those families report being unhoused. >> an example of why the data is important. just last month, san francisco reported refugee migration is putting pressure on the city's system of care, especially its family shelter system. so this led to supervisors melgar and ronen proposing for the city to increase capacity and family shelters. >> the largest muslim civil rights organization in the u.s. has released a new report that shows the largest spike in anti-muslim hate in 30 years.

cair's 2024 hate crime report shows that the organization tracked the number of anti-muslim complaints they had over the years, and now they say there are 8000. that's more than after the 2017 muslim travel ban or during the wars in iraq and afghanistan following nine over 11. >> unfortunately, it's american tradition ■that when we are at war, including proxy war, for example, here where we are funding israeli military actions that whichever our communities or countries are being attacked abroad, are also dehumanized right here in the united states. >> the report documents employment discrimination targeting of pro-palestinian activists and suppressing free speech. also incidents of students being bullied not just by other students, but in some cases by teachers. the data suggests 85% of the muslim community does not report hate incidents or discrimination. that is possibly because of fear of retaliation, losing their jobs, or mistrust of law

enforcement. >> president biden says he is outraged and heartbroken over the deaths of seven aid workers in gaza. we first told you about this yesterday morning, an israeli defense forces strike in gaza killed workers with the nonprofit world central kitchen and one of the aid workers, 33 year old jacob flickinger, had dual citizenship in the u.s. and canada. the six other workers were palestinian, australian from the u.k. and poland. secretary of state antony blinken says the u.s. has spoken directly to the israeli government, urging them to conduct a swift investigation into what happened. >> impressed upon the israelis, the absolute imperative of doing more to protect innocent civilian lives, be they palestinian children, women and men, or be they aid workers. >> video of the aftermath shows the vehicle clearly marked with the world central kitchen logo on the sides, and the roof of the van. in a statement yesterday, president biden
