Global National: Nov. 19, 2023 | Premature babies left at Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital safely evacuated

Global News published this video item, entitled “Global National: Nov. 19, 2023 | Premature babies left at Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital safely evacuated” – below is their description.

In tonight’s top story: Babies in Gaza’s faltering Al-Shifa Hospital have been evacuated to “relative safety” after being left behind in a swift exit by patients and medical staff on Saturday. Though Israel denies forcing the Palestinian people out of Al-Shifa, they were accused of holding personnel at gunpoint, giving them just one hour to leave the institution. The abandoned infants are now being treated, and expected to be transferred onward to Egypt next week. Redmond Shannon has the latest developments.

Though hostilities between the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and Hamas continue in Israel and Gaza, talks between the two sides are reportedly taking place in Qatar — through mediators. As Mike Armstrong reports, Qatari officials, the U.S., and even Egypt, have been involved in the potential peace talks.

In Vancouver, a woman is speaking out after a relative of her husband was taken hostage by Hamas militants. Randi Sommerfield also worked with Israeli-Canadian peace activist Vivian Silver who was killed by Hamas in their brutal Oct. 7 attack in South Israel. As Neetu Garcha reports, Sommerfield is calling for peace, and pause in the middle of so much polarization.

With two ongoing conflicts that have resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands in Gaza and Ukraine, global citizens are beginning to worry about what violent escalation is next on Earth. Heidi Petracek explores a new poll — conducted before Hamas’s deadly attack in Israel— which suggests a large majority of people believe we’re living in more dangerous times.

Over in Rio de Janeiro, a young Brazilian fan of Taylor Swift died at an ‘Eras Tour’ concert on Friday night after falling ill inside the sweltering concert venue. Mike Drolet has the details and expands upon the dangers of immense heat.

And, after years of dedicating herself to years of uniting women of different backgrounds and fostering peace and friendship between them in Israel, Arab activist Amna Kanana says she’s caught in the middle of an impossible plight amid the conflict raging in Gaza. Crystal Goomansingh reports.
