military barrages the missile strikes significantly down sunday night into monday compared to friday and saturday. but still hearing those strikes from the aircraft still see the yellow flashes from the horizon and occasional artillery into gaza as well. also significantly as well humauz and groups in gaza still able to fire rockets into israel. we had to take cover here twice through the evening because of incoming rocket fire. the sirens went off. iron dome went off. it is quieter. the idf have made it two mileinize to the gaza strip, two miles from the gaza border. they came down the coast and densely populated civilian areas significant in part because

president biden had a phone call with benjamin netanyahu and stressed the need for civilian casualties and perhaps more loudly about the situation in gaza. handles humanitarian supplies says their warehouses are overrun by people looting them on saturday and they're concerned that the fabric of society in gaza is breaking down. one of the ngo agencies for protecting children said it is sab salutely time for a keys fire to protect the children of gaza. there is increasing pressure on israel to sort of contain, control this increasingly military incursion into gaza at the same time more pressure to allowed humanitarian aid in. more pressure to have a cease

fire. at the moment it feels there is a lot of pause but at least not as much military movement as there was in the early part of the weekend. israel. diplomatic sources tell cnn the council will hold a meeting on monday involvement into gaza. seek a binding resolution council member frz an immediately humanitarian pause. only arab country that is a member of security council. to date the u.s. has vetoed security council calling for a cease fire and voted against a similar resolution at jordan on friday. israel has warned about a long, difficult conflict to take out hamas in response to the brutal terrorist attacks that killed

israeli civilians and 240 people being taken hostage inside of gaza. military campaign is having devastating mailitary consequences in gaza. the latest on the increasingly desperate situation. >> the building was flattened by on overnight israeli airstrike. people inside the apartment blocks weren't spared either. roofs ripped off. everything covered in a pale shade of gray. owedicide the bodies of those killed wrapped in white sheets and marked with their names. both the idf and israeli prime ministry called for civilians to evacuate gaza. buildings were filled with people who heeded

those warnings believing central gaza would be safer. there were no warnings at all. we seen the entire thing collapsing on us. we didn't know where the hit was. we ran getting our children out. it was a miracle they survived. tlichlt were no warnings. it was a strong airstrike. people pulled us from the rubble and took us to the hospital. israel said that overnight some 450 terror targets were hit and said that some strikes were directed by troops now in the ground inside of gaza. this was the aftermath of one of those strikes on a family home in southern gaza. a desperate scramble to move slabs of concrete hoping find survivors instead they found at least one body. by daybreak the urgency is gone. a pile of rubble is all that is

left. hospitals already at the breaking point are getting more overwhelmed. doctors operated on this boy on the floor. palestinian red crescent said authorities called the hospital in gaza city twice with a clear and direct threat that the hospital be evacuated at once before they hold responsibility for the lives inside. that led to thousands seeking shelter. israel called more than twice since the war began and said hamas is shielding themselves inside of hospitals. foreign aid is entering gaza in a trickle. people at a un warehouse carrying bags of food. the un calls it a worrying sign

that civil order is starting to break down as the situation in gaza gets worse. scott mcclane, cnn london. as you can imagine the humanitarian crisis taking a toll on the gaza children. we spoke 250 those at the refue gee camp as this war drags on. here are some of the stories. this is the most difficul war for us because we were going to school like any normal people but heard the sounds of rockets so we went back home. this continued so we went to our relatives. the war continues. as a result we came here. >> i don't know how to describe the schools. they are lifeless. lifeless for the children, elderly. the elderly cannot go to the toilets. they walk down

the stairs with difficulty. we don't know what to do. there is no bread, no gas, no food. simple food. we can't for the children. this child is suffering from burns. she received the burns while escaping. >> we were not safe. we are not living like normal people. the zionist occupation destroyed our life, our beautiful way of living. we have the right to play. we have the right to freedom. the simplest thing a child neez we have been deprived of. >> we get a small barrel of water for 60, 70 people. it is impossible for it to last a second day. we stand in the sun to get this little bit of water that we get. sometimes we push each other saying we need water. it takes long to get the water.

no tilets, no water. sheltering here is difficult. life is difficult. we are effectively dead here. just existing, no living.nooliving. we have lost our right to living. life here is no good. i wish we go back. there is no water and no electricity. we could hardly get water. electricity doesn't come a lot. once a day. and that is just a glimpse of what people in gaza are going through at this hour. cnn conducted those interviews just a day ago. iran says israel has crossed the red lines in gaza. israel's response to hamas in gaza may force other nations to take action.

qatar's minister spoke about the need for a cease fire and violence coming to other regions will have dire consequences. israel says its fighter jets struck infrastructure in southern lebanon sunday. that was a response to shelling towards north earn israel. clashes over the past few weeks. reports now from israel. >> along israel's border with lebanon is deserted now evacuated due to of attacks by hezbollah. he shows where they attempt today cross israel's border. >> they broke through the wall. >> we see the threat is constant.

hezbollah shells from across the border land on the hillside just opposite of it. >> we're on a border town on israel side and just beyond the fence is lebanon. that is the result of hezbollah from lebanon into israel. speaking to residents here this is a regular event. it's happening every day. he and his twin brother sent their family for safety but stayed behind themselves to protect their homes. the question for them and others like them is how long before this area is safe again. >> does anybody talk about how long people will have to leave here? he hopes a month but we don't know.

>> as the shelling picks up we head back south. minutes later israeli soldiers block the road warning of more incoming hezbollah 2350ir. >> soldiers have just blocked the road here in both directions. you can hear mortar and artillery fire going out. we've heard artillery fire coming from lebanon. the concern is the soldiers telling us possible infiltrations across the border from lebanon from his bola fighters and that's why the level of concern is so great. on sunday a rocket landed in the city setting this home ablaze. they also claimed this strike on an israeli tank friday targeting

hezbollah positions. the exchange of gun fire rumbled. >> still to come for us former president trump back on the campaign trail. i speak to the parentsts w who missssing after r going for a w afafter the deadly attttacks fr hamas.

>> the field is once again entering in a reshape fashion. over the beak end former vise president mike pence left the race. it is not his time. he has been making his argument that republicans should not return the former president to the oval office talking about his criminal indictments. while former president donald trump campaigned in awaw he made no mention of his former vice president. he instead spent his time mocking ron desantis. the court: it's a beautiful thing to watch because i got him elected. does anyone know who he is? i'll never run against my

president. i will not run against my president under any circumstances. sioux city iowa. we are joined now by political analyst michael. the president of the global policy institute of loyola university. 6 debates that define the institution. good to see you. mike pence is out. many contenders still remain. what impact do you think his dropping out will have on the race, if any, i have to ask?

>> he was poling at maybe five%. in terms of the money other candidates will get pence is not going to have impact. there is not that much to spread around. likely to have little impact, if any. >> donald trump has a stronghold on this race. a look at recent polls. there is no contender that comes close, at this point. do you believe perhaps something with change in the next few months? yrn know i'm just preaching to a choir that tells us he will be a gop

nominee. in quiet tones i'm only say the quiet part out loud. >> i don't see him doing a lot of damage. he is a viable candidate. he came in late and i

don't know that donald trump will beat joe biden. i don't thing that, in spite of joe biden's age, which is a liability and democrats believe that to be a liblth i don't see anyone coming in especially phillips who is running now for 2028. >> it is interesting to hear him sound like more gop

contenders and says he supports president biden. thank you. we'll have to leave it there for now. thank you very much. >> chaos ensues at an airport when a plight from tel aviviv v swarmemed by a angry protestere

media outlet. also sunday military is increasing the urgency to calls from people in northern gaza to flee south. people have criticides the demand on moving in gaza while it is under attack. according to the palestinian health ministryinaryly 8,000 people have been killed since october 7th. people broke into a warehouse showing signs of the fabric of society beginning to break down. they will expand on monday but won't provide further details. among those callerize the urgent pleas of the hamas hostage families to release them. calling on benjamin netanyahu to secure their release.

families gatherred in tel aviv to put pressure on the government. this coming after a deleted social media post of top officials not warning of an impending hamas attack after it happened. netanyahu apologized for the post. they want the prime minister to fraid all of the palestinian hostages. secure all options and secure the release. it's also working to free american citizens in gaza. white house national security advisor says the matter has to stay a top priorityism listen. we're in almost hourly contact with regional partners and israel to try to get to a point where there is a dpeel to have the hostages released. it is difficult. it is challenging. the hamas terrorists have not

been forthcoming by allowing these hostages to go. we believe there is a pathway rr to get their release and we'll work tirelessly to make that happen. even though we'll see israel on the ground this doesn't change our view that this is a paramount and those negotiates are ongoing. speaking again of the hostages israeli officials believe two of those officials are judy and her husband gati. last time they were heard from they were taking walk when they called for help amid a rocket attack. since disappearing israeli officials tell their family their cellphones have been track today gaza. their dot arjoins me now from israel. firstly, i thank you for speak withing us and giving us some

insight into how the last few weeks have been for you and your family. i want to ask you how you're doing. you live in asia. you're back in israel. have you heard from israeli authorities. >> i'm not doing well as expectedism i haven't received any new information. they are still considered hostages by the israeli government. unfortunately, no new information. the last thing we heard is that they were shot and my mom called for help and hamas isis whatever you want to call them burned the ambulance so nobody could get help. they lost contact with my mom. that's all we know and it's been three weeks. >> must be such struggle as you

and your family try to figure out what happened and where they can be. as we report every hour here the conflict is expand nothing to gaza. how do you believe this will affect the fate of your parents? are you worried? >> at this point i think hamas values the hostages' lives mor than the palestinians lives. i don't think the hostages are in danger. you never eknow. these people came in to my neighborhood and killed my friends, burnt them alive. these people are capable of everything. i have no idea. i'm hoping for the best. i'm hope the world will also

understand we're not dealing with a government that's demanding itsz rights. we're dealing with a terrorists group that's oppressing their own people. israel is not fighting paul stinians but fighting a terrorist group. this should be a global concern for everybody. everybody should help somehow make sure hamas is not in control any more. but this is also a very, very delicate and scary situation so all i can do is hope for the best. >> given how delicate it is there are calls for humanitarian pauses. some believe there is a pause in gaza and this could leave to effective hostage negotiates and israeli officials believe escalating the war with law maws will quickly lead to hostage released. how do you and

your family see it? >> i feel the idf knows what it's doing. there was chaos in the beginning. this has been the biggest attack since the holocaust. but you go everything is scary. every step that law maws takes, every step that the idf takes, every step, everything is scary because we don't know anything. i'm hope the american government, the israeli government share that information because dangerous. but, you know, my parents could be thrown somewhere dead, alive. i really have no idea. so yeah. like every day is scary. i can't say that i'm sleeping. my cousin just went to the u.s. to speak to senators over there. we're trying

everything and our goal is peace. but is there somebody to speak to? is there a peace, any peace desire from hamas? i highly doubt it. so speaking of cease fire and humanitarian pause, i don't know what the correct answer is. all i know is i want the hostages to be a priority. i do feel like they're kind of being pushed aside because many, many civilians are being killed, unfortunately, in gaza and also in israel. i feel it's also a bigger talk than just israel, palestine. it's becoming anti-semitism, fake news, this global, viral thing and people are kind of

dehumanizing the hostages, israelis, palestinians. it's just such a mush. it's crizy because most of the hostages, if not all of them are peace lovers. most of the hostages are from my kibitz. >> you and i have spoken before. you told me my parents were agents of peace. that's what they preached their entire lives. >> they're like hippies. my mom is a mindfulness teacher. she teaches kids with learning disabilities. she made an application because of the continuous war. you know, rockets over israel, terrorists invading israel is nothing new in that area, unfortunately. nothing this scale. but my mom invented an application to help kids relax during this time. my dad is a

musician. their whole life is vegan-whole food, plant-based. everybody in that area they just want to live a peaceful life. it's crazy they're the victim for everything and said civilians. it's really sad. really sad. >> iris, i want to thank you for speak withing us. you're back in israel with support from friends and family. we'll continue to follow this really closely. iris weinstein. >> take care. thank you, paula. disturbing images of the conflict between israel and hamas in other regions. >> this was the chaotic scene in an airport in the russian republican. videos show a large crowd storming an airport making it on to the tarmac waving

pakistan flags. show peeping within the crowd holding anti-semitic signs. ten people were injured too critically. authorities have close under air ported and are investigating how it is safe going forward. a local religious leader appealed for comp. >> i sincerely say you are mistaken. this issued cannot be resolved in this way. >> israel did say it was working with russian authorities to secure jews and israelis in the site and called russia to protect israelis and jews in that area. we'll be back with more news in a minute.

>> now aid for gaza civilians is coming through crossing. of course, as we've been saying at

a very slow pace. they received ten trucks loaded with supplies on the gaza side. that raises the total number of trucks since the war begin, think about this, to 94. also a posted video statement about the conditions he was seeing there. >> now later sunday kahn sat down in to talk. >> government, military advisors making targeting decisions should be on clear notice that they will be required to justify every strike against every civilian object whether it's a dwelling house or a mosque. they're protected unless they become military objectives and that requires

analysis and information. conflicts and laws of our complex has to see what it's being used for and has a particular object lost its protection? others have to look at proportionality. secondly, is it propor proportionate portionate to the military advantage. once has to have a forensic approach. >> can you give us an idea of some of the possible war crimes over the last few weeks. >> i can't comment on that. what i can say, clearly, is killing and hostage taking are great reaches of the geneva conventions. it is a crime to target suveil ans. it is a requirement to allow humanitarian assistance to

civilians. it is a crime under a statute. that is a matter that needs consideration by israel to make sure food and medicine goes to children, men, and woman. the pictures we all see on cnn of kids covered in blood. if a body is not limp maybe there is a flicker of life. what kind of hope does that baby have, does that child have to medical care if there's no anesthetic or morphine. these are our children. >> how are those responsibility for alleged war crimes to be brought into account? >> apply the law to real life. it is not an academic pursuit. have the affect it should have, could have. class reports from statess. in the end it is self-interest can

be very determinative. the values of states but also self-interest of states. this is why there is a glimmer of optimism after ukraine. there are instances of the selective application of the law. perhaps it is potentially, one hopes, prays, but time will tell, a moment of realization that if you keep going in this trajectory to ignore the law whether it is in a short-term interest or long-term trajectory is on mass immigration across the world. >> from that statement in egypt, kahn described the suffering of men, woman and children on both sides as "profound" adding these are the most tragic of days.

u.s. moving forces to the sea by hezbollah. the marine rapid response source among the amphibious assault ship is heading towards the area. while it doesn't have a specific mission at this hohour civiliai evacuations. have erupted in lebanon on recent d days and tradading roc and artillery fire with israel across ileral's northern border. they want to be readady if t th need to o evacuate american citizens. they are asking americans to leave lebanon while they still can on domestic flights. >> still to come while police were sent to his home weeks before the massacrcres.

>> we are now turning our attention to the deficit community of lewiston and state of maine. mourners held april prayer vigil to honor the 80 people killed in wednesday's mass shooting. the tragedy marks the deadliest mass shooting in united states so far this year. the white house is an official from his gun violence prevention office is heading to the state to try to support the grieving communities. troubling you details shared with cnn reveal authorities were warned about the gunman weeks before the rampage. police tried to conduct a welfare check on robert card after concerns you would, quote, snap and commit a mass shooting. the shooter had a history of mental health issues and violence. and his family and the maine national guard shared disturbing details with law enforcement. police in tampa, florida, say a suspect is in custody

after two people were killed and 16 others injured in a shooting on early sunday. hundreds of people were leaving bars and nightclubs when the gunfire erupted. darted after a fight broke out between two groups of people. these are the youngest victim was just 14 years old. investigators found two handguns at the scene and are trying to figure out if other shooters were involved. at least 10 people are dead and more than two dozen injured after two trains collided in southeast india on sunday. that is what a government official was telling reuters. one of the trains stopped after an overhead cable broke, and then an oncoming train slammed into it. and that derailed at least two carriages of the train that was stopped. india's railway ministers of the early indications are that human error was to blame. the prime minister extended his condolences in a message on x. authorities now say at least 43 people have been killed

after hurricane otis battered parts of mexico. the category 5 hurricane hit the country this week. heavy rain, high winds caused widespread destruction. officials say more than 200,000 homes have been impacted. of course, the resort city of acapulco has also been devastated. people there have been lining up for food and any necessities they can get their hands on. we get more now from cnn meteorologist. >> when hurricane otis came ashore across southwestern mexico, and only stunned residents of acapulco, but also the greater meteorological community, just because of the explosive strengthening that took place prior to landfall, now the clouds cleared and the family imagery showing before and after imagery of the destruction left behind. this is a walmart. the parking lot, and some of the awnings are completely

shredded. some of the roof is taken off your. this is a neighborhood near acapulco. notice the shading of green. satellite imagery. it goes to the after hurricane otis passage, and it has a brown tinge to it. that's because the foliage has been ripped from the trees there because of the strength of the winds. this hurricane was impressive because it was the strongest storm to impact the pacific coastline of mexico, but also the fastest 12 hour rapid intensification in this part of the world. what is rapid intensification? it is a categorization that meteorologists used to define the strengthening of a hurricane or typhoon. we need to see winds increase at 35 miles per hour minimum in a 24 hour period. this storm strengthened 90 miles per hour in a 12 hour period. it took advantage of a narrow swath of warm water temperatures here in the middle to upper 80s. look at that. tropical storm conditions. and then it quickly escalates from a category one to a category 5 right before landfall. all of this occurring within a matter of 12 hours. back to you.
