trump's new talk of tariffs on aluminum and steel, with threats of more to come in an escalating trade war. and later, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. the grocery stores now setting buying limits amid an egg shortage. good monday morning. it's ten eastern, 7 a.m. pacific. i'm ana cabrera, reporting from new york. and this morning, president trump threatening new tariffs and targeting new agencies for the acts. the president announcing new tariffs on steel and aluminum as soon as today with more reciprocal tariffs sometime this week. this as trump's team targets a new federal agency for its slash and burn cuts. this time, it is the agency tasked with protecting the consumer you against corporate overreach. nbc's kelly o'donnell joins us from the white house. our ken dilanian is at the d.o.j. and

also with us, msnbc legal correspondent lisa robin. kelly, do we know any details about these tariffs and when they might be announced? >> well, the president has previewed his actions, but we don't have all the specifics yet. he's talked about tariffs today and then additional tariffs in the next few days dealing with aluminum and steel and putting a 25% tariff on those kinds of products. so an import tax on that. and then in the next couple of days, what he is calling reciprocal tariffs for countries that impose a tax on u.s. goods, that he would do the same in return. again, the tariff discussion is one where the president is vigorous in his discussion of these at times pulls back once confronted with questions or willingness to negotiate from other countries. but aluminum and steel, of course, come in great volume from canada in particular. so that, again, could cause tension in a relationship with one of our closest neighbors.

>> kelly. meanwhile, the trump administration's overhaul of the federal government has now moved to the agency designed to protect consumers from corporate overreach. and there's already a lawsuit. what more are we learning? >> well, this agency does look for ways to help consumers, especially in the fine print and the gray areas of our lives in terms of banking, in terms of fees, the kinds of things that get tacked on to some of the everyday expenses and purchases that people make. and this agency has done a lot of the work to try to reduce those, to bring transparency and to bring pressure on various industries to be accountable and to be putting the consumer first where possible. and so the trump administration has taken the position that in doing that, this agency has at times picked winners and losers and therefore is not applying the law in an even handed way and causing more burden on businesses. so they've put a hold on that, and it will

maybe not have the kind of immediate effect on consumers that some other kinds of programs might if there were a stop to it and expected kind of benefit check or something like that, you'd know it right away. but this is the kind of work where saving people money and helping them to be in control of their finances is at the heart of what the agency does. >> ana kelly o'donnell, thank you for bringing us those developments, lisa. also, developments over the weekend on what's happening at the treasury department. a judge now saying elon musk and his dodge team can't have access to payment data systems, at least for now. president trump blasted this a couple of times. here's his reaction. >> steel, including canada expert alexandra. >> steel coming into the united states, is going to have a 25% tariff. aluminum to. >> okay, so that wasn't the right soundbite. he said i disagree with this court ruling

100%. i think it's crazy. he went on to say, no judge should be no judge should frankly be allowed to make that kind of decision. it's a disgrace. we're also getting this from vice president vance, a graduate of yale law school. don't forget, he writes, if a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal if a judge tried to command the attorney general and how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal. judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power. respond to that. what does the constitution say when it comes to powers of the justice system and presidential powers? well, at least interpreted. >> by the court in one of its foundational cases, marbury versus madison, we learned that in the first week of constitutional law at yale law school, where i also am a graduate, the power goes to the court to determine what the law is. the executive's function is to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. so i would respectfully submit that vice

president vance might forget some of his foundational constitutional law, at least in terms of what powers are accorded to each of two coordinate branches of government. honore. >> i do want to play the sound bite which we now have cued up. please. >> i disagree with it 100%. i think it's crazy. no judge should be. no judge should frankly be allowed to make that kind of a decision. it's a disgrace. >> we're seeing a lot of judges rule in a way that is not favorable at this point to the trump administration. but, ken, dozens of lawsuits for all kinds of different moves isn't stopping this administration. it's, at this point been effective in halting agencies to access the treasury department system, the big federal buyout offer, all of these different areas where there are lawsuits. tell us about today's hearing in massachusetts, specifically about those federal buyouts. >> yeah. good morning. ana. speaking of federal judges, a federal judge in boston is going to hear arguments at 2 p.m. this

afternoon about the legality of the buyout order or that offer, sorry, in this lawsuit that's been brought by federal employees unions. now, the unions allege that this so-called fork in the road offer from trump and elon musk is arbitrary and capricious, in violation of the administrative procedures act and exceeded the office of personnel management authority under what's called the antideficiency act. now, opm extended this offer to all employees except military, postal service and immigration personnel, with some exemptions for key national security positions. lawyers for one union wrote in legal briefs that the fork directive is, quote, a sweeping and stunningly arbitrary action to solicit blanket resignations of federal workers. and they added that, quote, defendants have not even argued, nor could they, that the fork directive was the product of rational or considered decision making. the trump administration obviously would disagree. as many as 60,000 people have signed up for this buyout offer, which in theory allows them to be paid for another eight months after they

stop working. now, that's far short of the 5 to 10% of the workforce that the trump administration was hoping would take the deal. and critics, of course, have said that there are no guarantees here, that they note that recipients have had to sign away their rights to sue to enforce the agreement. so again, this judge will hear arguments today. whatever this judge decides, undoubtedly it will be appealed to a higher court on them. >> yep. we see the appeal, appeal, appeal as the memo often when it comes to donald trump. lisa, if you just take a step back, i mean, that's one, one case, one hearing we'll be keeping our eye on. but you and i were talking this administration is already facing 45 lawsuits, and a lot of judges are taking action across the board. what kind of test is the judicial system facing right now? >> maybe the most critical of our lifetime, because our democracy depends on courts being able to enforce and interpret the law. if when you have people like vice president vance dancing very close to the line to saying judicial orders need not be followed, if we get

to that point in the executive stops following judicial orders, there is no more control or constraints around the executive. we have a country at that point where we see congress increasingly abdicating its own responsibility to push back against this power grab by the executive, and if the executive is not going to listen to orders of the court, even, for example, if one of these issues percolates up to the supreme court, then there are no guardrails. you have what used to be three coordinate branches of government turned into effectively one with nothing to stop it. >> we don't see congress pushing back either, as republicans are controlling both the senate as well as the house. ken dilanian and lisa rubin. guys, thank you both very much. and joining us now is norm eisen, state democracy fund chair, former special counsel and special assistant to president obama. he was also an adviser to the impeachment managers during trump's first impeachment norm. it's good to have you with us. what's your reaction to what we're hearing from the president

and the vice president about how they see their executive powers. and i don't think the courts or the american people are going to let the vice president, the president, mr. musk, who's an administration official, who's also suggested that the courts may not need to be followed or judges may need to be unlawfully removed. he said that in one of his tweets earlier today, i don't think they're going to get away with that. what you're seeing is a shock and awe assault on the foundations of our democracy. with all of these unconstitutional and illegal actions and a responding shock and awe by my group and our allies and many others going to

court and securing these orders, stopping them, i one orders last week, the very first case locking mr. musk out of the treasury department. he has no right to look at that data tying the hands of the president, the attorney general and others who want to dox reveal the identity of 6000 fbi agents. they don't have any legal right to do that under the privacy act and otherwise. we're in court this morning arguing that donald trump's birthright citizenship, rewriting the constitution. he gets to pick and choose who are citizens of the united states. no, we're in a courtroom right now with our allies fighting that. and we filed a brief on behalf of anna. almost two dozen conservatives, every presidential administration from nixon to trump's first administration, saying, of course, this offer to force federal employees out without the permission of congress illegal. so and that case will be heard today. we've been

involved in many of these cases, and they're going to lose. >> well, let me pick up on that last one. you just mentioned the case in massachusetts that will be heard today. and you write in the amicus brief that you filed with a group of 22 republicans. quote, this case comes at a critical moment in our nation's history, when a new presidential administration seeks to expand its powers in relation to congress. at the same time, it invites the federal courts to remove long standing checks and balances under the law. do you have confidence the courts will be that check? >> anna, i do, we've seen already the courage of the men and women of the federal judiciary standing up to donald trump, the vice president and others may speculate about defying court orders, but if they do, they're going to find an american political leadership. and the american

people, from the grass tops to the grassroots. when i was preparing our treasury order last week, and we're getting ready to go to court, a spontaneous demonstration erupted. peaceful in front of the treasury. political leaders from congress and ordinary folks. so we know from other countries, when the courts are backed by the people, they're able to oust autocracies. so i have confidence we'll see what happens at the supreme court. but even this supreme court is not going to want to see their orders thwarted. that's the most fundamental principle. and i think american democracy is responding strongly, meeting shock and awe with shock and awe. i think we'll see success in the fork in the road case today in boston. and i don't think the american people are going to let trump, vance and must get away with defying court orders. >> but seriously, though, what happens if this administration defies the courts and just ignores their order? i mean, you

talk about protests, but who holds them really accountable? do you see the court issuing a contempt order and the us marshals taking action? >> i do, i think that the courts will start with civil contempt. they'll move to criminal contempt. they have broader sanctions. they're going to rule against the administration. in that case, i think the supreme court will back them up. and, anna, look, the ultimate guarantee of a democracy is the people of democracy, of that democracy peacefully exercising their will. the united states is not unique. we've seen autocratic regimes try to do this before. poland, brazil, czech republic, where i was ambassador, all in recent years had autocratic leaders ousted by the people. and i think american democracy is strong enough to meet this test. we are at a crossroads. that's why we've been involved in dozens of cases, with dozens more coming

in the weeks and months ahead. but i believe in the strength of american democracy. if donald trump and elon musk and jd vance test the will of the american people of the american courts, i think they're going to get a very strong pushback. >> before i let you go, according to the new york post, you were one of the officials that had security clearance just recently revoked by president trump. how does that impact your work? >> i was on the list of eight individuals that trump targeted. i took it as a backhanded compliment, ana, that these orders we've secured, the many cases we've been a part of at democracy defenders are starting to bite. and i'm not going to let it affect my work. as i clap back at the president on social media, i take it as a backhanded compliment, and i'm going to redouble my efforts. we're not

going to let this administration get away with it. the courts rule of law, backed by the american people from the grasstops to the grassroots, are going to peacefully but forcefully defend our democracy. i'm proud to be a part of that. and the president is only encouraging me to work even harder. >> norm eisen, appreciate your time. thank you very much for joining us. i imagine conversation to be continued as you speak of more orders, more lawsuits to come. up next, democrats struggle to keep up with president trump's storm of orders is one way to turn off the faucet. shutting down the government. we'll ask democratic congresswoman rosa delauro about how her party plans to keep the president and elon musk in check. plus, steel yourselves. trump's new round of tariffs are coming today. what could end up costing you more and supermarket shell out new limits over egg hoarding fears. we're back in

president trump keeps shuttering government agencies, some democrats will push for a government shutdown. nbc news chief capitol hill correspondent ryan nobles joins us now. ryan, democrats have had a few weeks now to digest the trump administration's tactics. is an opposition strategy taking shape? >> well, there's not a clear indication as to how democrats can handle this current situation, but it's clear the one avenue that they have to exert their will is in the budget process. and in particular, this spending fight and shutdown deadline that is looming here. now, just a little more than a month away. yes, republicans are working on their own budget strategy that is separate from the government funding strategy that they may be able to do without any democratic support. but but in order to keep the government running past the march 14th deadline, they will need some level of bipartisan support, at least 60 votes in the senate. and right now, democrats are warning republicans that if they don't involve them more in these

in this process, that they may not be willing to just keep the government open for the sake of keeping it open. take a listen to what andy kim told our kristen welker over the weekend. >> they have, for the last two years, needed democratic votes for every single continuing resolution, and they should not count on that this time around. i cannot support efforts that will continue this lawlessness that we're seeing when it comes to this administration's actions, and for us to be able to support government funding in that way, only for them to turn it around to dismantle the government, that is not something that should be allowed. >> so just to be clear, senator, you are open to voting yes, to shut down the government to make this point. >> this is on them. this is about whether or not they can get the votes. they are the majority. >> of course, this deadline is looming. we are now just less than a little more than a month away before these decisions will have to be made. >> ana and senate democrats have now launched a new tool to get whistleblower reports. how is that going to work?

>> yeah, so there's a lot of concern among senate democrats and democrats in general on capitol hill that these government workers that find themselves in a situation where they could either be losing their jobs or be told to shut down government funding in programs that are authorized under law by congress. they're afraid to come forward and talk about it, because they fear there may be retribution, that they could lose their jobs, or possibly even worse. so senate democrats have set up a portal where these members of the federal government workforce can report what they're seeing in real time to the senate that they can use in their oversight perspective. they have a long list of resources available to these whistleblowers. they outline the protections that are available to them as whistleblowers. the question, though, is when the senate democrats get that information, what can they do with it? of course, they're still not in the majority, so their oversight role is still limited. anna. >> okay. ryan nobles, thank you. please keep us posted there on the hill. let's bring in democratic congresswoman rosa delauro of connecticut. she is the ranking member on the house

appropriations committee. congresswoman, thank you for joining us. we're almost a month away now from this next funding deadline. you're one of the key negotiators. are democrats willing to shut down the government over this gutting of federal agencies? >> well, first of all, thank you so much for inviting me to come to be with you this morning. that's not the question. the issue is, are the republicans going to shut down the government? i'm negotiating in good faith on the appropriations committee with my colleagues in the house and the senate. that's the way appropriations bills get done. you have to come to the house, senate, republicans and democrats to agree and then get the bill to the president for signature. and we're negotiating on that. but there. and what we need to do is to look at the assurances that, in fact, once we do come to an agreement that we will not have an interloper like donald trump or elon musk, or for that matter, the speaker of the house saying the agreement is off, we will have come to the deal being charged

with our respective leadership to come up with an answer. and that's the direction where we're going. we need the assurances that it won't be done and we need to proceed forward. that's what i'm doing. the republicans will make the decision whether or not they can move forward. on the agreement that was made by chuck schumer and mike johnson about the increases for defense and non-defense in the budget, and when we if we will adhere to that, we'll move. we will move forward. i believe we can get there. if they want to get there, it will be up to them whether or not this government shuts down. >> let me ask you more about the role of elon musk. president trump praised musk in all his and all these government purges that we're seeing through his so-called doge office. this is what he said in his fox interview yesterday. >> and i've had a great help with elon musk, who's been terrific. bottom line, you say you trust him. trust elon. oh, he's not gaining anything. in

fact, i wonder how he can devote the time to it. he's so into it. but i told him do that. then i'm going to tell him very soon. like maybe in 24 hours to go check the department of education. he's going to find the same thing. then i'm going to go go to the military. let's check the military. we're going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse. >> how do you respond to that? >> well, look, you know, i think that first of all, what i refer to elon musk as president musk, and you've got the omb director, russ vought. they're responsible for the chaos, but it's project 2025. they're stealing appropriations. and to be honest, what people need to know is that taking the funds, stealing what are appropriated funds runs into the daunting power, the power of the purse, which rests with the congress, and that is in the constitution of the united states. do you think we're not going to fight back on that issue? but i think it was prescient. what president

trump said today. the us aid was just a skirmish. they're going after the department of education and limiting people's opportunity to get an education in this country. the dream of my parents, irish, italians, polish, the entire you know, parents want their kids to get the best of an education. and they're going to they're going to deny it. we are going to respond to it, and we are responding to it. >> russell vote was recently confirmed as trump's budget chief. i know you've sparred with him over the last few years. one of his first acts was to install himself as the acting head of the consumer financial protection bureau, basically pause its functions. there is a lawsuit speaking right now that's underway to block it, but is it enough for democrats and federal workers to pin everything on the courts, especially considering president trump and vice president vance could be laying the groundwork

to ignore these court rulings? >> well, we are not only relying on, on on the courts, as norm eisen pointed out, the courts, the american people, i would add, the congress will not let this succeed. and the courts are important, and we will be in the in the, in the house. while we do not have standing to sue, we are working with the organizations that are bringing suit. we will file amicus briefs. so we will use the courts are critically important in this area. the other piece of that is the outrage of the american public. and when you when you think about there is the legal issue, but you have to think about what the, you know, what are the repercussions to american families. you take education, you're looking at denying people of a school lunches. you are taking the opportunity for a college education. if you cut pell grants, you cut student financial aid. there are a whole

range of what these services do for the american public. that's the word that has to get out. when you cut education, you cut 72, you cut title 170 2000 teachers nationwide are gone. your kid may be in a classroom that doesn't have a teacher. special education for developmentally challenged kids that will be cut. what happens to those kids? but again, it's u.s. aid. it's education. they're going to go to medicaid. and it is about the effect of what happens in the lives of american people, of middle class families, of working families, of what is going to happen to their ability to be able to survive both economically and to be able to have a future going forward. that is what they are doing. they are dismantling the federal government, which will deny the american people the

services and the resources that allow them to help to raise their families, have a secure economy and a secure future for themselves. >> democratic congresswoman rosa delauro of connecticut, thank you very much for your time. thank you. we appreciate you joining us up next. yes, more tariffs are coming. what president trump is targeting now. also penny for your troubles. not for long. we'll explain. and supermarkets walking on eggshells which ones walking on eggshells which ones are now setting egg limits over (vo) what happens when one of the most famous dunkers of all time goes to the greatest lobsterfest of all time?

to affect. >> almost immediately. but if they are charging us 130% and we're charging them nothing, it's not going to stay. >> that way. >> let's bring in nbc news business and data correspondent brian chung. so, brian, help us understand which countries, which products are impacted here and what it means for americans. >> yeah. and i should point out that what you just heard from the president, that was from yesterday, we haven't seen anything today, on this monday, that explains the detail of exactly how this would happen or if it would even happen today. but if he follows through on that, the tariffs on aluminum and steel would mostly impact the two countries, which we thought we wouldn't have to be dealing with tariffs right now, and that would be canada and mexico, because there was the announcement that we would be postponing any sort of potential tariffs on them until march 1st. but when it comes to steel, specifically, the two biggest importers into the united states are steel are, in order, canada and then mexico, canada, accounting for about 23% of all steel imports to the united states, mexico about 11%. the next two partners are brazil and korea. so those four countries

account for over a majority of steel imports into the united states. and i know that a lot of consumers are thinking, okay, well, you know what? that doesn't impact me. i don't build buildings or, you know, build office structures. but at the same time, aluminum is a big factor when it comes to consumer packaging. so, right, you know, the aluminum that has to go into your soda cans. so those prices could rise once these tariffs come to pass, which again, we'll have to see what the actual language is. and once there is an executive order right. >> the other thing that kind of made some news is that the president said he is ordering a stop to production of the penny, saying it cost more to make than the actual coin is worth. yeah. what could we save? or what could the government save by ending the penny? >> yeah, well, this is a really interesting kind of political point here because there could be bipartisan support on this. in fact, then-president obama had suggested he was open to ending the penny as well. the us mint itself, which makes the penny, says that it costs them about $3.07 to make, or rather, it costs them $0.33 to make a penny. so that's more than the worth of the penny, which is

only $0.01. so yes, it does cost the government more money to make the penny than it actually cost the penny itself. so again, how he would actually do this? it might require legislation, but regardless, it does cost us a pretty penny, if you will, to make a penny. so there's that. >> well done my friend. thank you, thank you. appreciate it. now, for millions of americans, unfortunately, it's getting harder and harder to get a grocery staple eggs. the average price for a dozen eggs has now soared to more than $7, according to the usda, and that's if you can even find them. now, some grocery chains like trader joe's and costco are setting limits to keep consumers there from hoarding this. as bird flu continues to spread through poultry farms and in new york city, live poultry markets have now been temporarily shut down after several cases were detected just last week. let's get to nbc's rehema ellis with more on all of it. so, rahima, what should we know before heading to our grocery store? >> one thing i think people should know is that it's been

reported that this is likely to be a long term problem. we may not see the end to this until sometime next year. it also bears repeating what you point out, ana, and that is prices are high. you saw just there that the $7.34. there are some reports of a dozen eggs being as high as $12 for a dozen. that's $1 an egg. and that's really sky high, if you will, in terms of what people are accustomed to paying for eggs, what do people have to worry about? i think in terms of whether they come in contact with eggs or birds. most people do not come in contact with chickens, according to the experts. they say chicken and eggs are absolutely safe to eat as long as they are fully cooked. you don't want to eat raw eggs at this point. and who's at risk? doctors are saying that the average person is not necessarily at risk to the specific bird flu, but the highest risk group are those people who work day to day around jobs that involve a lot of chickens, and particularly those who work on poultry farms. so in the end, it is buyer

understand. when you go to the grocery store, if you can find eggs, they're probably going to cost you a lot more than they've been costing in years past. >> ana rehema ellis, thanks for bringing us the very latest. up next here in ana cabrera report, fear, pain, hunger, just some of the impacts around the globe from cuts to usaid. we'll talk to the president of oxfam about the worldwide ripple effects and overseas. nbc news cameras inside gaza as palestinians return to their homes to find nothing there. the crisis growing i always wanted to know why i am the way i am. my curiosity led me to ancestry. it was amazing to see all the traits that i've gotten from my mother in my dna. it's a family thing. it's a family thing. ♪♪ at bombas, we dream of comfort and softness. which is why we make the best socks and slippers

[ambient noise] cream for fast acting relief. absolutely free. >> president trump's plan to dismantle usaid may have been stalled by the courts, but the ripple effects of the cuts to that agency are already being felt globally in sudan. two thirds of the soup kitchens closed in the capital city in

just the last week, leaving half of the 50 million person population at risk of famine, an aid worker telling the washington post people in extreme levels of hunger could die of starvation. what's next? what do we do? and several life saving efforts to contain deadly disease outbreaks have been dissolved in tanzania, where there's a suspected marburg virus outbreak. in west africa, where an mpox variant is killing children. and as the bird flu cases have been identified now in 49 different countries, the former head of global health at usaid, writing on x, quote, consequences aren't in some distant future. they are immediate. joining us now, abby maxman, president and ceo of oxfam, a global organization that works to end poverty and injustice. abby, thanks for taking the time. we just talked about some of the foreign aid programs that have been shut down in the last week. our oxfam workers already seeing these impacts. what are they telling you? >> well, we are hearing exactly

about and seeing. the far reaching implications of these cuts. oxfam is an organization that. >> does not. >> rely directly on u.s. government funding, but many. >> of our. >> partners and communities do. and we all work together to assess what the most urgent needs are in crises and how we can can respond in complementary and effective ways. so u.s. foreign assistance being suspended and cut is a massive blow to every form of programing across our sector, and it's really doing the most harm to the poorest, most marginalized people in the world. >> can you just shed some light on that? what programs are you most worried about disappearing? >> well, all of our programs, whether it's water, sanitation, hygiene, food, medicines, the entire system has been affected. the u.s. only us aid only supports what is 1% of the global budget. so it's a small amount of resources, but it supports a significant part of

the humanitarian system. so we are seeing children going without food, medicines, life saving things that they need. for us, the demand is already high on an already overstretched system. and so this has been nothing but cruel, hurtful and harmful from the moment the executive orders and stop work orders were announced. >> you touched on how a huge portion of usaid work is anti-hunger programs in sub-saharan africa. with these cuts, do you have any sense of just how many people could go hungry? >> well, it is in the millions. we know that there's just in east africa, across south sudan that's working on a massive refugee crisis. ethiopia across the horn. millions of lives are already at risk, and u.s. food and humanitarian support is significant. so for us, it's a small comfort when much vital sanitation and protection and other aid is all in limbo. when we provide clean water, it needs

to be complemented with the right kind of food to help and support kids who are facing hunger and worse. and so it's just the ripple effect. the domino effect is massive. >> foreign aid workers are also on edge, as these cuts could force more than 10,000 people who are part of this agency out of work. one employee outlined to the new york times that she had to file for unemployment, had to get food stamps. but she called herself lucky, continuing, i have coworkers that are going through ivf and they've lost all their benefits. people going through cancer treatments with parents on hospice and they were the breadwinners. i know there are so many others having to deal with that, and it is literally going to break them. what's your reaction to that? >> well, it's just an illegal and cruel assault on an independent government agency, and it really needs to be swiftly challenged in the court. congress must take a stand. right now, we have a situation

where the richest man in the world has launched an illegal assault on this agency. civil people who have devoted their their lives, their careers, their know how, their expertise. it's just terrible. they've turned off the spigot instantly, and how it's being managed is really unconscionable. and we are seeing the far reaching implications. and it's not in america's interest. >> abby maxman, thank you for being with us and helping us understand the far reaching impacts of some of these cuts. we appreciate you. okay. thank you. next on ana cabrera reports, israel's prime minister discussing proposals for a second phase ceasefire with hamas. what will it take for hamas. what will it take for long term peace? we're in the with fatigue and light-headedness, i knew something was wrong. then i saw my doctor and found out i have afib, and that means there's about a 5 times greater risk of stroke. symptoms like irregular heartbeat,

with hamas. more details on phase two expected to be ironed out this week. it comes after more hostages were released this weekend, with three more israelis freed from gaza in exchange for 183 palestinian prisoners. as part of the deal, israeli troops also withdrew from a key gaza corridor on sunday. and in northern gaza, many families are returning, finding complete devastation where their homes once stood. nbc's yasmin vossoughian joins us now from tel aviv. yasmin, what kind of conditions are palestinians now facing in gaza as we enter this next stage of talks? >> abysmal conditions? they don't have necessarily even a roof over their head, despite the fact that they are getting humanitarian aid. >> 600 trucks. >> coming in. >> a day. it is. >> those tents. >> it is the caravans. it's the mobile homes that are desperately needed. you mentioned the netzarim corridor allowing free passage. now for gazans going from south to north, back to their homes. and yet what are they finding there?

a completely flattened northern gaza. let's take a listen to some of what they've seen, and then we'll talk on the other side. this is the reality for many children in gaza. a baby unaware she's homeless, her father, desperate to make something out of nothing. the scars of war that tore buildings and families apart. and young, sick children separated from their parents for the first time in nine months, kids in need of urgent medical care have begun to evacuate gaza through the rafah crossing. as the busses are loaded, we see a father. tears streaming down his face as he says goodbye to his son. this little boy leaves a brother behind. i wanted to go with my brother who is sick and my mom says this eight year old, but they wouldn't let me through. while much of the focus on the ceasefire has been on the hostage release, the need here is tremendous. thousands of patients with trauma, burns,

amputations and more, many of them children. but under the ceasefire deal, only 50 are set to be evacuated each day. the conflict has destroyed much of gaza's infrastructure. weeks before the ceasefire deal. two more hospitals were destroyed, leaving over 2 million, with only five small hospitals. those returning to the north are finding nothing. their homes destroyed. nadine evacuated to central gaza with her family more than a year ago. now back in gaza city for the first time. >> this is the situation for other people. they don't have a tank and they don't have homes. they don't have tents, they don't have anything to build, anything to rebuild what is left. >> her brother jude is inconsolable and grieving for their older brother. >> this is all. they take this. >> from us. without something, we, my brother has been killed. what do i do? just watch it. >> it's. honestly. >> i don't know what to say now.

>> yes, truly. >> where is my brother? i want to see him again. >> entire families living and sleeping amidst the rubble. to just feel the comfort of being home. and a generation of kids bearing the wounds of a merciless war. at an incredibly desperate situation on across the board, and doctors without borders as well in the west bank saying the medical needs there are also getting quite desperate, all amidst these fragile, ongoing ceasefire talks. hearing from local media that prime minister benjamin netanyahu convening his security cabinet to discuss phase two of the ceasefire talks on. >> that little boy, really hitting home with the pain, the devastation, the heartbreak. yasmin vossoughian, thanks so yasmin vossoughian, thanks so mu mopping is hard work, but then i tried the swiffer powermop. it has a built-in solution that breaks down dirt on contact. plus, it's 360-degree swivel head cleans up along baseboards and even behind the toilet.
