about the outcome and international alarm about the rising death toll. today thousands rallied in tel aviv, demanding the government do more to bring home those hostages still held by hamas believed to be at around 105 hostages. as for civilians in gaza, war has been catastrophic for the territory. cbs' charlie d'agata has the latest. charlie? >> reporter: good evening, jericka. it is a grim milestone for everyone here. 24-hour vigils, those demonstrations across israel, and remembrance of the victims of the massacre. fears over the fate of hostages still missing. and the ongoing tragedy of the soaring death toll inside gaza itself. fresh israeli assaults today marked day 100 since the war began, with no sign of when or even how it may end. it no longer matters the dead arriving among those still clinging to life at the al aqsa

hospital in central gaza today, adding to a death toll near 24,000 people. while hundreds of thousands of the displaced wonder how much more they must endure. our cbs news colleague in gaza, marwan al gul, a survivor himself covered this wedding only a couple of days ago at a shelter in rafa. a rare glimpse of joy, a moment of hope amid the misery. "hopefully, we'll have a brighter future," the bride amna tells marwan. it's a new beginning for something better, and we can go back to our homes one day." yet he reported this too. the chaotic scenes at a bread line as residents jostled for food. aid agencies say it's too dangerous to get food to those who need it most. at the kerem shalom crossing into gaza, we put that claim to the israeli military. >> while conducting large scale

operations in gaza for more than three months, we're also conducting large scale humanitarian operations every day. inside the battlefield. >> reporter: inside the battlefield? >> inside the battlefield. >> reporter: but that's in direct contrast to what aid agencies on the ground are saying inside gaza. the u.n. has warned that a quarter of the population is now on the brink of starvation. while in israel today, people across the country took part in events to mark the day, including tel aviv, where thousands held a 100-second moment of silence. not only to remember more than 1200 people murdered on that saturday morning, but not to forget more than 130 hostages who remain missing. and there are worrying claims tonight from a spokesman for the armed wing of hamas, jericka, who said most likely many of the hostages have been killed recently, that the israeli leadership and military bear the

blame, and the rest of the hostages remain in grave danger. >> charlie d'agata, thank you. tonight, president biden said his administration has worked nonstop and pursued aggressive diplomacy to bring the hostages home. but after 100 days of war, relations between the president and israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu appear strained. cbs' skyler henry has more from the white house. skyler? >> reporter: biden administration officials have had intense conversations with the israelis, jericka, and they say those talks are having an effect. this comes with the widening threat of conflict in the region. just last week, the u.s. joined a coalition of forces and air strikes against iranian-backed houthi rebels in yemen. the houthis have been targeting global trade in the red sea for weeks in protest of the war in gaza. secretary of state antony blinken has been canvassing the region again, looking to prevent this war from spreading. on "face the nation" today,

national security council spokeswoman john kirby said the u.s. is also pressing israel to change their tactics as the war progresses. >> we have been talking to them intensity about a transition to low intensity operations. we believe it's the right time for that transition, and we're talking to them about doing that. >> reporter: officials say that transition has begun in certain capacities as some israeli troops have pulled out of gaza, and the number of air strikes have been reduced. the white house has acknowledged that progress has not been perfect, and that more aid needs to get into gaza, jericka. they say they are working to ensure that that happens. >> all right, skyler henry tonight from the white house, thank you. now to a war that's faded from the front pages in recent weeks. tomorrow ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is set to travel to switzerland, seeking more global support with ammunition aid running out in the fight against russia. reporting from kyiv, here is cbs' chris livesay. >> reporter: at a secret location in the cover of night,

engineers fire up the booster of a makeshift cruise missile. do it yourself weaponry its civilian inventors say can strike russian targets more than one hundred miles away. so it's a very lightweight, easy to assemble, and a key feature, extremely cheap, between $2,000 and $10,000 to produce, compared to 10 to $100,000 if they were to buy it retail. desperate bargains ukraine is now forced to make as u.s. funding dries up. since russia's full-scale invasion nearly two years ago, the u.s. has provided more than $40 billion in military aid to ukraine. used to astonishing effect, rappelling one of the largest armies in the world. but in recent months, ukraine has been struggling, thanks in part to russia's deep supply of munitions from north korea and attack drones from iran. russian attacks are killing

civilians every day, says ukrainian lawmaker oleksandr ustinova. can ukraine make it without u.s. aid? >> president zelenskyy was very clear when he said to president biden, if there is no support coming from the united states, we're done. >> reporter: if ukraine falls, that puts russia firmly at the doorstep. >> which means that the united states would have to step in the war. and it would not mean less than 1% of the budget. that would mean trillions of dollars and your boots on the grounds. >> reporter: a point not lost on displaced ukrainians like larissa and her son mark, who lived for eight months under russian occupation. "if americans don't pay with their tax dollars for ukraine to fight against the russian invasion," she says, "they'll eventually have to pay with their lives, like we are." chris livesay, cbs news, kyiv. today we learned that the iowa high school principal who shielded students during a mass

shooting has died. perry high school principal dan marburger's wife shared online that he, quote, fought hard the last ten days. he acted selflessly and placed himself in harm's way to protect others. an 11-year-old boy was killed that day and several others were wounded. the 17-year-old gunman, a student at the school died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. well, straight ahead on the "cbs weekend news," caucus confusion? cbs' ed o'keefe has your guide to how the iowa caucuses work. plus, this destructive sight in iceland, destroying everything in its path. and a look back at the last of "the honeymooners." honeymoon" this is a hot flash. but this is a not flash. ♪ i got a good feeling ♪ there's big news for women going through menopause. veozah - a prescription treatment for moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms -
