[0:00] Tens of thousands of tents like this in
[0:02] Gaza. They are being flooded right now
[0:04] by heavy rain. And nearly 1 million
[0:07] displaced people are living in those
[0:09] flood exposed areas. 400,000 of them are
[0:12] in areas considered extremely high risk.
[0:15] And that's not all. The World Health
[0:17] Organization warns that because of this
[0:18] heavy rain we're seeing right now, acute
[0:20] respiratory infections will be on the
[0:22] rise. Ross Smith is the director of
[0:24] emergencies for the World Food Program
[0:26] and he visited Gaza recently and saw
[0:29] firsthand the devastation families are
[0:31] dealing with as they enter their fourth
[0:33] winter of crisis. And he joins me right
[0:36] now. Ross, thank you so much for your
[0:38] time. Can you talk to us about what you
[0:40] saw while you were out there and what
[0:41] the people of Gaza need most urgently
[0:44] right now?
[0:45] >> Yeah, thanks Mo. Th
