arduous and very scary ordeal. yeah, exactly. audrey. jessica. her name is doctor haley. sheikholeslami she just got back this weekend. she left toward the beginning of may to gaza because she wanted to go help people, but she didn't think the border would close. she and others couldn't leave. and at the same time, medicine that she needed for her patients couldn't come in. i felt like i just couldn't sit and watch that i had to contribute in some way. doctor haley islami arrived in gaza at the beginning of may. she took a photo in front of this sign. that sign is now gone. as a family physician, haley says she worked in an outpatient clinic in southern gaza. she would take note of the medicine she had available for her patients. the medications i could give at the beginning were very limited in terms of antibiotics, in terms of, antipyretics. after israel seized the rafah border, it became even more difficult. medicine couldn't come in and

there was not much i could offer them. she was seeing 30 to 40 patients a day at the beginning, after people heard of the border closing, that number became smaller as people packed up and left. and there is no safe area in gaza. there is just safer that's, you know, so and many of these people have already moved multiple times. the most i heard was ten times being displaced ten times. i was supposed to come back in the middle of may, but she was among the health care workers who couldn't leave gaza after the border closed. we spoke with her brother at the time. he was worried and had limited communication with her as haley continued to help patients in gaza. what many of us have seen images of online she saw in real life what you see is exactly what is real, what you see. people all suffering, malnutrition. when you see people desperately trying to leave this is all real

. she got back on saturday, greeted by her family, including her brother. but while she's been back, she's also been paying attention to what's been happening overseas. dozens of people were killed in rafah in southern gaza, late sunday in an israeli airstrike on an area where displaced civilians were sheltering in tents. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu called the strike a, quote, tragic incident in images showed the area engulfed in flames. when i was in gaza, i felt more i felt like, okay, i'm here, i can do, you know, maybe a little bit of work. but i think being away is harder because then you're seeing these images where it's like, oh my gosh, i just wish that all human beings could have the basic privileges of having security and safety water, clean water. jocelyn moran, nbc, bay area news tonight san jose police are trying to piece together what led to that deadly crash that you're looking at a car slamming

into a box truck just before two this afternoon. this is on montague expressway in o'toole avenue. the man died in that collision, forcing officers to close all westbound lanes of the expressway from 880 to mccarthy boulevard. those lanes reopened about 4.5 hours later, around 630 this evening. investigators are trying to figure out whether speed, distracted driving or drugs or alcohol played a role in that crash. all right, now, to a strange and unnerving situation in sunnyvale, a mail carrier in the south bay is facing charges accused of confronting and threatening people and injuring a police dog. this video was recorded last wednesday by a couple who said they witnessed bizarre behavior. police say that the mail carrier was making his rounds in sunnyvale when he suddenly walked into the middle of the street, talking loudly and gesturing wildly. a couple who filmed this video didn't want to show their faces on camera, but they did tell us that they were driving down the street, but they stopped when they couldn't get around that mail carrier. i was on the phone

with the 911 dispatch, and i was trying to stand away from him as much as possible near my husband's vehicle, and making sure that my son was okay and that he was safe. what was he actually saying? are you saying basically that i don't belong here saying that he's going to shoot me? they go back to my country, go collect welfare for, you know, and whatnot. just crazy remarks. sunnyvale police tell us that the mail carrier made similar threats to police. they say he also used pepper spray on a k-9 officer before being arrested. police aren't releasing the mail carrier's name because he is being put on a psychiatric hold at this point. we also reached out to the u.s. postal service but have not yet received a response. a massive fire at an east bay lumber yard under investigation. tonight, we're hearing from the owner of that lumber yard who says the damage left from the fire could cost the company millions of dollars. nbc bears pizzaritos has the latest from oakland. fire trucks are still

chief meteorologist jeff ranieri on this memorial day, some pretty comfortable temperatures. 77 in santa rosa, 75 in san jose. i'll show you how much

couple of shark sightings this memorial day weekend. signs were posted up until 8:00 tonight along a two mile stretch of the san clemente beach. a surfer

told officers that a possible shark bumped him off of his surfboard last night, damaging it. another man reported seeing a dark object swimming toward him. lifeguards say that these incidents involving sharks aggressive behavior are rare. thankfully, no one was hurt and you've likely heard the saying, like finding a needle in a haystack. yes. well, what about what happened last week off the coast of marin county is even less likely to happen. there it is. so look at that. all that excitement because researchers spotted a north pacific right whale. it's estimated only about 500 still exist, and most of them are off the coast of alaska. so this one was spotted by a team of researchers from the applied california current ecosystem studies group. the team had gone out to survey wildlife a few miles off the coast of point reyes. no one thinking that they'd see the rarest of rare whales. and suddenly there it was. national oceanic and atmospheric

administration says that even though north pacific right whales are on the endangered species list, fishing nets and cargo ship collisions have caused their numbers to dwindle. well, there's a rise in covid. tonight new variants of the virus circulating in the bay area, california health department says it's seeing an increase of covid detected in wastewater. it's also seeing a rise in positive covid tests. the numbers have been steadily increasing since the beginning of may. now, typically, covid cases don't spike until later in the summer. we talked to one of our covid experts, doctor peter chin-hong at ucsf, about what he's seeing. it's a little bit more transmissible. we've heard this story before, there comprised more than 50% of the cases now in the united states. the cases rise and then you'll see a little bit of uptick. i don't expect a lot compared to last year. i don't expect a lot compared to winter. but there will be people who will get sick in the upcoming weeks and during the summer. doctor chin-hong also talked about how younger people are dismissing vaccines,

saying covid is much like the flu. now, however, there is evidence it is not and that repeated bouts of covid contribute potentially to long covid. more than 60 seniors in oakley are staying another night in hotel after evacuating their apartments yesterday. apartment management says that they are trying to get everyone back home in the next couple of days, but that may be overly optimistic. 44 units had to be evacuated after a clogged pipe sent sewage overflowing into a vacant apartment near the elevator. controls that knocked out power in that elevator, oakley's mayor says once it is all repaired, agencies will still need to inspect and give the all clear for residents to return. today, some residents stopped by to pick up some necessities. he fixed it where i could go in and get my medication this morning. where yesterday they were saying no, no, no, no, no. they did their job yesterday they went out of their way and they were just over apologetic for this situation. all displaced

residents are being put up in nearby hotels free of charge. management is also delivering meals, water and snacks to the seniors. they're also offering $300 gift cards to each household to cover other potential costs. okay, the final countdown to the olympic games is on now, just 60 days away from the opening ceremony in paris, and we found a very cool, fancy way that you can get in on the olympic action. it's all thanks to a bay area tech company, our business and tech reporter scott budman, with a one night offer. it's not where you'd normally see a bed, or for that matter, the olympic torch, but you can spend the night here for one night only. it is. it is your home away from home. i guess you could say during your night at the museum, the musée d'orsay, to be precise. and thanks to airbnb, that one night is the evening of the opening ceremony to the paris olympics, and you get to watch the opening ceremony from the museum rooftop terrace overlooking the seine.

pick three people have voted. oh, man, the weather out there in paris. once the games get here, the average temperatures are in the upper 70s. they usually get about 2.5in of rain during that time. and the biggest thing we'll be looking out for is potential here of heat waves. just a few years ago, we had temperatures as hot as 108. during the same times the games will happen. so of course we'll have more continued coverage on that. otherwise, back here at home, we're talking about the fog for tomorrow morning. let me get you more details on that right now. and your microclimate forecast and as we started off, you can see those low clouds will be right here at the coastline to begin. and also some of that fog moving towards the inland valleys inland contra costa, alameda counties, also down to san jose and gilroy and some patchy fog up to the north bay. now most of this clears back as we head through tomorrow afternoon, except for our beaches here around san francisco, down to about half moon bay. so with that foggy breeze in place, is going to start temperatures off on the cool side, but just kind

of refreshing as you step out the door on that tuesday morning. it will put us down to 50 here in the peninsula, south bay 52, and we'll continue with those low 50s here for the east bay, san francisco and the north bay. daytime highs for tomorrow don't really change a whole lot. it's just going to be really comfortable. a little bit of a breeze out of the northwest at 13 in the south bay, 75 here in san jose, 77 in morgan hill over to the east bay, cool by the water. 67 in oakland. then you get out to those inland valleys, up to 77 in concord, 74 in pleasanton, chilly at the beaches, 55 here in half moon bay, then over to redwood city and palo alto were in the low 70s up to san francisco, 55 in the marina over to the mission 63 and for the north bay mid to upper 70s. here santa rosa, sonoma and back towards napa. now, as we look ahead towards the upcoming weekend, that area of high pressure is going to be kind of on and off for us as we roll through the next several days. so that's eventually going to get us up to 90. on thursday, we drop down to some upper 70s,

low 80s this weekend and then plenty of mid to upper 80s for next week. so thankfully no triple digits in this forecast. now, while we've had the sunshine, it's been the opposite situation. central and eastern half of the country. quite a few storms tomorrow. severe weather over texas. if you have any connecting flights in dallas, severe thunderstorms are possible so expect delays. might even get some tornadoes in texas as well, right here in san francisco. low 70s wednesday, thursday friday. that will be good. and the inland valleys warmest day will come on thursday. jessica, we got to you. you we were discussing what she needs to bring. i know we're going to have to do a packing day. we are. i'll take a look at the extended forecast. we'll go over your checklist and we'll start packing. we'll do the wardrobe. thank you. okay all right. just ahead, chase off a cliff by a group of raccoons. the great lengths firefighters went to rescue a little dog
