Hunger in Haiti is reaching famine levels


Listen Later

Hunger in Haiti is reaching famine levels. Nearly 6,000 people in Haiti are starving, with nearly half the country's population of more than 11 million people experiencing crisis levels of hunger or worse as gang violence smothers life in the capital of Port-au-Prince and beyond. Also, Israel and Iran continue trading threats in the wake of Iran's missile attack. Meanwhile, Israeli forces and members of Hezbollah are battling on the ground in southern Lebanon. Israel announced the death of one soldier. Palestinian officials say 51 people were killed in an Israeli strike there. And, Argentines battle over the future of higher education. Students and teachers are holding a general strike this week to protest massive budget cuts. And Argentine President Javier Milei has vowed to veto a new congressional bill that would fund university budgets over the next year.
