Global National: Jan. 21, 2024 | Gaza deaths mount as Israel’s military operations escalate attacks
As Israel’s war on Hamas rages on, the number of Palestinians killed keeps piling up. On Sunday, Israel escalated its attacks, with the torment in Gaza growing for civilians. According to Gaza's Hamas-run Health Ministry, more than 25,000 Palestinians have died and more than 62,000 have been wounded since the latest wave of violence. The United Nations (UN) chief says the bloodshed is heartbreaking and that Israel's military operations have spread "mass destruction." The level of death, despair and displacement is unprecedented, and there is no end in sight to the fighting. Mackenzie Gray has the details. It's been almost two years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and now there are questions over who's responsible for a deadly blast in Russian-controlled Donetsk. At least 27 people died when a busy market was shelled. Russia's foreign ministry called it "a barbaric act of terrorism" against civilians, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that there were “particularly severe Russian strikes” in the Donetsk region. Redmond Shannon has more. The stunning development happened just hours before Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was supposed to meet with supporters in New Hampshire. His exit means Nikki Haley is now the only Republican with a chance of stopping former U.S. president Donald Trump. The former United Nations (UN) ambassador is polling closer to Trump in New Hampshire than she was in Iowa, but is still back by double digits according to the latest survey. Jackson Proskow has more. Plus, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet gathered in Montreal, Que., this weekend ahead of the winter session of parliament, and at the top of the agenda is housing affordability. Abigail Bimman has more on what to expect. As Liberal cabinet ministers gather in Montreal, one demographic politicians can't afford to overlook young voters. People born in 1997 or later are considered part of "Generation Z," and pollsters say they're engaging in politics in different ways than older generations. David Akin explains. Amid a housing crisis, losing your home so the landlord can renovate and hike the rent is a frightening prospect. Laws to prevent "renovictions" have been on the books in B.C. and other markets for a number of years. Now, as Sean Previl reports, Hamilton in Ontario is joining the trend. Whether it's through artwork or storytelling, there are countless ways to pass down your heritage. In B.C., one First Nation is mixing things up by working on a graphic novel to showcase traditional knowledge and culture. Safeeya Pirani spoke to one of the three Indigenous artists of the Homalco First Nation on how they're helping bring its stories to life.
