Palestinian Authority PM on the Hunger Crisis and Desperation in Gaza
As appalling scenes of starvation and destruction out of Gaza continue, Christiane speaks exclusively with the Palestinian Authority Prime Minister. The two discuss the hunger crisis in the enclave, who governs the day after the Gaza war ends, and hopes for Palestinian statehood. Then, Oscar-winning filmmaker Mstyslav Chernov joins Christiane to discuss his new documentary "2000 Meters to Andriivka," bringing the brutality of war alive on-screen and connecting viewers to the everyday men fighting on the front lines.
