now you can stream all your games like it's nothing. yes! [ cheers ] yeah! woho! running up and down that field looks tough. it's a pitch. get way more into what you're into when you stream on the xfinity 10g network.

good day to you wherever you're watching us in the united states and around the world. i'm richard quest. it's 10:00 in the morning here in london, noon in gaza. and there heavy explosions have been reported over the last hour, nearly the al quds hospital in central gaza. the palestinian red crescent says the area has been struck by violent artillery explosions and air strikes. and it's believed there are deaths. cnn has reached out to the israeli defense forces for comment and information. one of the refugee camps south of the line where palestinians have been told to go was hit by another deadly explosion seven hours ago. the palestinian hospital official tells us that more than 30 people were killed and a hundred, at least, wounded. the israeli military has not commented on whether it targeted the area.

at the same time, the idf is now saying a safe route from gaza city southwards is open for civilians, as israeli forces fight their way into the city, the idf says the offer of safe passage for civilians is only good until 2:00 local time. that's roughly two hours from now. ivan watson is with me from hong k kong. this explosion at the al quds hospital, which actually is south of the so-called safe line, if you will, what more can we know? >> right, we're still piecing that together, but if it has, in fact, taken place, it would be part of a larger pattern, where we've heard from the palestinian health ministry based in ramallah in the west bank, that hospital workers, hospitals have come under frequent target and attack, at least 150 health care workers killed since the beginning of this uptick in hostilities on october 7th, after the hamas attack into

israel. with more than a dozen hospitals required as shut down, 16, actually. and some 32 primary health care centers also taken out of service. that is on top of other reports of recent massive explosions, such as the blast at the al maghazi refugee camp that took place saturday night, as survivors have put it, as they were asleep, a massive explosion, which according to the director of nursing at a nearby hospital, resulted in the deaths of at least 33 people with more than 100 wounded. the hospital there nearby described as not having enough hospital beds for even half of the influx of the wounded people coming in there. let's listen to one of the survivors of that blast. >> i saw a red light. then we were shaking on the sofa. i saw all of my sisters screaming. then i saw my father. when i found myself alive, i

looked to see who was still alive. we turned on the torch and my siblings were alive, but i did not find my father. i finally found him next to me. i moved him. i moved his hands, i moved his face. he did not respond. >> the woman went on to say that her father was killed in that blast. the israeli military has not yet commented on what happened in the al maghazi refugee camp, which has a population of about 33,000 people living in an area of about 0.6 square kilometers. the israeli military has said that it has carried out some 2,500 strikes in gaza, an area a bit larger than the island of manhattan, over the course of its week-long ground offensive, into gaza. >> ivan, the complexity is almost beyond comprehension, but the reality, of course, is really quite simple. and we see this with this, this

safe corridor, where supposedly, the 400,000 civilians remains can head down there, however many there are remaining can head down there. that's by no means as straightforward as it sounds, either. >> and i hard to use the expression "safe," because from the pattern of violence that we've seen in gaza over four weeks, nothing appears safe in this enclave, which is surrounded by high fences, and thus, nobody who lives in it can get out, really, except through one border crossing to egypt and a couple of hundred people have been allowed to leave there, out of the 2 million people that live in gaza. what the israeli military announced was a four-hour window, underway now, to move from the north of the gaza strip to the south, on saleh aldine street. this was announced over social media, but what happens if as many people in gaza, you have no electricity or no access to the internet, because of the immense

amount of damage. also, that road has, reportedly, come under direct attack in the course of the past couple of weeks, where people have tried to evacuate south and have been hit. and finally, the refugee camp, al maghazi, that was hit, which a hospital worker claims was an israeli air strike, it is south of the wadi gaza, that blue line on the map there, which is like a stream that bisects gaza. so the israeli military is telling civilians, go south for safety through this corridor, but they're also bombing targets and and civilians south of that very same line. >> ivan, i'm grateful. thank you watching events. when there's more to report, please come back to us. cnn was part of the first group of foreign media that was granted access to israeli forces inside gaza. journalists are embedded with the israeli defense forces in gaza operate under the

observation of israeli commanders in the field. they are not permitted to move unaccompanied within the strip. and as a condition to enter gaza under idf escort, outlets had to submit all materials and footage to the israeli military for review prior to publication. we agreed to these terms so that we could provide a limited window into israel's operations in gaza. jeremy diamond was embedded with the idf. >> reporter: at the israeli military post on the outskirts of gaza city, the fighting is fie fierce. >> the center of the gaza strip, the idf soldiers are fighting against the militants that are using all the houses that they can in order to harm and to get to the idf soldiers. >> one week into its ground offensive, israeli's military says they have encircled gaza city from posts like this. >> we're at an israeli military

post inside the gaza strip, about one kilometer inside of gaza. gaza city is just this way, and as you can hear behind me, there's a lot of ongoing fighting between israeli forces and hamas militants. what they are trying to do right now is to flank the hamas positions. all of this intended to try to cut off gaza city from the southern part of the strip, as israeli forces also move in from the north. >> cnn was part of a small group of reporters given access to israeli fighters for the first time since the outbreak of the war, entering gaza using the same roads that hamas militants used to carry out their brutal attack on october 7th. >> today we're going to the exact same areas, to their trucks in order to go there and be able to get them to pay the price and eliminate the hamas

organization that paid this attack on israel. >> we are inside an armored personnel carrier right now into gaza, here the southern point of gaza city. >> reporter: but still, israeli forces face the danger of ambush from underground tunnels. >> over there and inside the neighborhood. >> so in just this area, there are at least three tunnels. >> i believe at least, yeah. >> reporter: israel says many of those tunnels lie below residential buildings and for weeks, it has relentlessly bombed those targets killing and injuring thousands of civilians in the process. the forces here say they're now working to secure a humanitarian corridor to help civilians flee the heaviest fighting. >> this is a huge brigade for this battalion right here. the population would be able to go from the north to the south

surely in order to get the idf in order to do the commerce. >> reporter: for these soldiers, achieving that goal may see them deploy deep into gaza city, where the prospect of deadly urban combat awaits. >> the idf will be here as long as it takes, weeks, months, year, so it makes sure that israel is safe and secured for the long time. if we need to get inside gaza house by house, that's exactly what's going to happen. >> jeremy diamond, cnn, with israeli forces in in gaza. a pro-palestinian process has been on the streets across europe. in london, this is what it looked like in trafalgar square on saturday, with tens of thousands of people that gathered to show solidarity with gaza. police say that they arrested 29 people for various public order offenses. in paris, demonstrators called for an end to the violence, as they marched

through the streets, holding palestinian flags. one of the first big gatherings in support of palestinians to be legally allowed in paris. and similar scenes in germany, thousands of people on the streets, and police say more than 6,000 people attended this rally. in the united states, there were protesters who marched to the white house, demanding a cease-fire in gaza. they carried palestinian flags and signs that read, "stop the massacre," "let gaza live." they were also calling out u.s. president joe biden. >> my message to president biden is, i voted for you and i regret it. >> will you vote for him in 2024? >> absolutely not. >> i'm not going to vote for him, because he support ing israel. he's asking for $14 billion to do more killing of the palestinian people. >> the idf has repeatedly called

on civilians to evacuate gaza city and northern gaza and move south, as we've been telling you this morning. thousands of people are on the move. they're seeking shelter wherever they can find it. we've on teenaged d obtained footage of one hospital. the images in this report are gra graphic. >> reporter: where do you go when the bombs won't stop. where do you shelter your family when the shelters are full? for many gazans, the answer is a hospital. the head doctor shows us around. all that separates these families in the icu is this door, he explains. these are not sterile conditions. some 12,000 displaced people are camped out in al quds hospital in northern gaza. and every single person you see

here has been told by israel's army to leave and move south. an evacuation order, the u.n. previously called inhumane. this is not a place for children to play, this is a disaster, the doctor says. look, these are sick people. how can a man on a walker be evacuated? hospitals are protected under international law, but israel claims hamas uses medical facilities as commander centers. aid groups and palestinian officials deny these allegations. either way, this is still not a safe place. step outside the doors, and this is what you face. non-stop israeli artillery and air strikes. everyone here fears the explosions will only get closer, but there's nowhere else to run. across the street, desperate people steal basic supplies. the war in a suffocating siege is causing civil order to break

down, the u.n. says. families cannot be expected to flee into this chaos, this father says. this is a war against our children. see how scared he is from the bombs? now we are alive, but tomorrow we could be dead! please, save us, he pleads! less than a quarter mile away from the hospital, this is the aftermath of one of those strikes, residents pull people out of the rubble of their homes. they can depend only on each other. coms are down. no one can call an ambulance. just try and carry him out on your shoulder, someone shouts! are my mom and dad alive, the wounded man asks. the sound of war never ceases. you could die trying to help the living. this is one neighborhood during one hour in gaza, a tiny glimpse into the horror.

the humanity and dignity of more than 2 million people that live here a casualty of a war so many did not choose.. salma abdelaziz, cnnnn, london..

it's after 12:00 in gaza. we're following reports of explosions near the al quds hospital. reports say that strikes have destroyed a building nearby. it follows hospital officials in central gaza saying at least 33 people have been killed and 100 injured in a blast in a densely populated refugee camp. israel's military has not commented as to whether it was targeting the area. civilians in gaza city and the north of the strip have less than two hours to take advantage of what the idf's safe passage to the south. the idf trailer opened the main road for people to evacuate the area, only until 2:00 local time. the u.s. secretary of state met with arab foreign ministers in jordan on saturday. becky anderson now reports, america's opposition to a gaza cease-fire is not what those ministers wanted to hear. >> when u.s. secretary of state

antony blinken met with key arab allies in amman on saturday, the message from saudi arabia, jordan, the uae, qatar, and egypt clear and consistent. >> in the arab countries, we demand an immediate cease-fire. >> the response from america's top diplomat also consistent. >> it's our view that a cease-fire now could simply leave hamas in place, able to regroup and repeat what it did on october 7th. >> sharing a stage with blinken, the jordanian and egyptian foreign minister said israel has gone beyond a justified response. >> israel targeting innocent civilians and facilities, medical facilities, paramedics, in addition to trying to force immigration for palestinians to

leave their lands. this cannot be legitimate self-defense at all. >> while he was in amman, antony blinken made a point of stressing that the u.s. and its arab partners share, the quote, same fundamental interests and objective to end this war. but if he arrived in amman hoping to share plans and build consensus for a post-war future for gaza, he likely left disappointed. >> what happens next, how can we even entertain what's been happening in gaza, when we do not know what will be left after this war starts. >> the message from arab leaders, no talk about what happens the day after this conflict ends, until all parties agree on what happens today. becky anderson, cnn, doha. allow me to bring you some

breaking news. the secretary of state, who you were just hearing about, antony blinken, has made an unannounced trip to the west bank. there he made the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas, according to the palestinian authority, which abbas leads. his latest stop through the immediately began in israel where blinken tried unsuccessfully to make the case to the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, for a pause in the fighting. that followed by meetings with arab leaders, which becky anderson was telling you about, and there he rebuffed calls to push for a cease-fire. the director of the center for conflict and humanitarian studies at the doha institute, with me from doha. so, we now know that secretary blinken went to or has been in ramallah with mahmoud abbas, but it would have been the same message that he'd heard in all the other places, you've got to push israel to a cease-fire. and so far, he's stood against

that. >> of course, i think the arabs in particular would like to see an immediate cease-fire. we must do everything to stop the killing. now, blinken has said maybe the most objective view so far in the sense that he's looking to try and introduce pauses based on humanitarian needs and so on, but he doesn't seem to have any leverage over israel. he is making all of those promises, he's suggesting all of these relatively constructive ideas, and at the same time, israel continues bombing. they've just bombed the schools, hospitals, ambulances, et cetera. so whether he has no leverage whatsoever, or the fact that the united states has overwhelmingly already approved the funding for the $14 billion that is coming with -- on its way to the israelis, has really made his job irrelevant.

the idea that the u.s. is now coming to the middle east, trying to introduce a cease-fire, without showing clearly that the israelis are listening to him, is not a family value. >> okay, so, let's assume that blinken and indeed the u.s. want a minimum of civilian casualties, for the purpose of this question, what then -- what then is the purpose, do you think? if israel is not listening to the -- or is not seeming to pay heed to the u.s., what purpose can the u.s. have? >> well, the u.s. has now boxed itself into a very difficult position. the way it came out on day one, in full support of israel, regardless of the context, regardless of what went on, the way they tried to extend the time for netanyahu to achieve his unachievable objectives of finishing of hamas, and the number of casualties, now we're

talking about more than 9,500 casualties, this is even greater than the civilian numbers that have been killed in ukraine in almost two years of war. this has happened in a month and it's happening in realtime in front of all of us in our living rooms. we are watching this massacre taking place on a daily basis. so it's very difficult to see what the u.s. can do, because everyone understands that this could not have happened had the u.s. not supported it from the word go"go." now to add insult to injury, to resupply israel with weapons, with the latest technology, to be able to kill more palestinians makes it very, very difficult to imagine any role for the americans that is remotely impartial. >> no, except, though, the all the countries involved still need, want to keep silent relations with the u.s., if only for commercial purposes,

business, and trade. think all still prefer to play in the u.s. capitalist environment, if you will to put it in crude terms. so to that extent, the u.s. in a position to say, we are doing what we're doing and you'll just have to let us get on with it in our own way. >> well, in our own way has proven not to work. this is what the u.s. needs to get really, really clearly in their policy. they have been trying their own way in the middle east for the last three, four decades. and it's led from one disaster to the next to the next, often guided by hand, by the israelis. and they have really achieved very little in terms of direct interest to the american public. the american public, the taxpayers are now paying for this war, and they have, on their hands, the blood of the palestinians. no interest of the u.s. have been served in this. and they don't seem to place it

in the global context, where you're really spreading itself too thin across the world. now they have a front in ukraine against russia. they've just been led by the israelis, blindly, into the middle east, with the real possibility of confronting iran and having another global conflict. and they're also threatened by china around taiwan. where will they focus their attention and can they actually maintain all of these fronts at the same time? i don't think so. at the same time, the arab world is really getting less and less dependent on the united states, that it used to be a few decades ago. even those countries like egypt that was heavily dependent on aid, now they take much less aid from the u.s. on an annual basis. and china is trying to fill in the space and trying to offer assistance in the region. >> grateful, sir. fascinating insight. thank you for joining us from

doha. as you and i continue, the war wages between israel and hamas and the violence is surging against palestinians in the occupied west bank. in a moment, a report.

c'mon, we're right there. c'mon baby. it's the only we need. go, go, go, go! ah! touchdown baby! -touchdown! are your neighbors watching the same game? yeah, my 5g home internet delays the game a bit. but you get used to it. try these. they're noise cancelling earmuffs. i stole them from an airport. it's always something with you, man. great! solid! -greek salad? exactly! don't delay the game with verizon or t-mobile 5g home internet. catch it on the xfinity 10g network.

wherever you're watching, a very good day to you. i'm richard quest in the "cnn newsroom." let me update you with the latest from the release. the u.s. secretary of state antony blinken has made an unannounced trip to the west bank. there he met the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas. it's the latest stop in blinken's swing through the middle east. these are the pictures that we have moments ago, coming into

us. mahmoud abbas, of course, leads the palestinian authority from ramallah in the west bank. we only got notification, obviously, of this, and we were able to report it after. there you see the two men. antony blinken is now on his way back, we believe to tel aviv. he was there, where he'll continue to make the case, unsuccessfully, so far, to the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, for a pause in the fighting for humanitarian goods to be allowed through. this is following his meetings not only with abbas, but with other arab leaders, including jordan and amman, where he rebuffed calls from arab countries to push for a cease-fire. also this morning, allow me to bring you details. heavy explosions near the al quds hospital in gaza. the palestinian red crescent says artillery and air strikes have destroyed a building close by, causing numerous casualties. cnn has reached out to the idf on this claim.

and hospital officials in central gaza say at least 33 people were killed and a hundred injured in a blast in a densely populated refugee camp. israel's military has not commented as to whether it was targeting the area. the head of the world food program has told us that she's seen a great deal of movement within the egyptian government that would allow more aid into gaza. she spoke to our colleague, kim brunhuber, in the previous hours. >> we need to be able to get in there, and have access to that -- safe access, so that we can do our job in feeding people. but we also need a logistics center to be able to do this in an organized way, so we can support the egyptian red caress ex crescent and get more trucks in by doing that. the whole point is we need to be able to get in there. there needs to be a sustainable way that we can do that. more importantly, this is about

saving lives. this is about saving children, women who are always the brunt of these situations, and so that's what we do and why we're here. and i want to remind everybody the teams that do these things here in this country or any country that's in conflict like this, they're amazing. our wtf team and all the other u.n. teams are simply amazing at doing this job. >> violence has erupted and escalated in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem since israel declared war. the palestinian ministry of health says dozens of people have been killed and at least 150 people injured in the past few weeks. cnn's nadia bashir now reports, some palestinians also say that they're being forced off their land by the jewish settlers. >> reporter: armed and threatening, this is the face of israeli settler violence in the occupied west bank. it's these acts of aggression, which are chasing palestinian families out of their homes.

piece by piece, palestinians in the village pack their lives away, never to return. the settlers come at night while we're sleeping. they beat us and try to kill us. they try to force us out of our homes. i can't sleep anymore, i'm too afraid. families in this village, once home to some 140 palestinians, tell us that they have been left with no choice but to flee their homes. what's happening now is another catastrophe. i'm 60 years old, i have lived here my entire life. and despite the fact that settlements in the occupied west bank are considered illegal by many in the international community, they continue to grow and expand, with the backing of israeli authorities. we inherited this land from our forefathers. we've lived here for generations. now it's only getting worse. the war in gaza has only encouraged the settlers.

according to israeli rights groups, at least 15 palestinian farming communities have been forcibly displaced since october 7th. >> the real thing that is influencing the life of palestinians here is the outpost up there. >> reporter: an israeli human rights activist says encroachments on palestinian land are rapidly advancing. and personal attacks in the occupied west bank have only intensified. >> the next stage is not only attacking palestinians when they're out in the field, going into the communities, into the homes, burning houses, slashing water tanks, beating up people, threatening women, children, and the as a result of it is what you see in front of your eyes. >> people leaving. >> entire communities packing up and leaving. settlers are taking advantage that all eyes are on gaza to accelerate their violence, because there is no protection from the israeli army, there is no protection from the israeli police. and in many cases, the israeli

army is accompanying the settlers. and in many cases, the settlers are the army. >> reporter: in the nearby village of atuba, a remote palestinian community, israel's military keeps a watchful eye. idf soldiers never too far away. >> yes, you need to go. you need to go. >> why? >> because you're in -- >> sorry? >> you need to go? >> why? why are we not allowed to -- >> reporter: the village knows the price of settler violence all too well. palestinians here say their attacks are edging closer each night. they come and threaten us, saying we have to leave or they will be back to target us. they're all armed. they never come here without weapons. in the last week alone, residents here say israeli settlers have slashed this village's water tanks and cut through local power lines? an effort, ngo workers say, to pressure palestinian families to leave the area.

>> what we're seeing now is that under the cloak of the war that's happening now, the settler activity, settler violence has increased tremendously over the last few weeks. this crisis is not new to the palestinian people, but it's a crisis that is deepening. israel's bombardment of the gaza strip said to be emboldening violent settlers. across the southern hills, there are now fears that smaller, more remote palestinian villages could be next. but for palestinians here, it is already too late. nadia bashir, cnn, in the occupied west bank. >> as our news continues, hundreds of families are calling for more action from the israeli government to get their loved ones who are being held hostage released. also, a israeli woman as she

describes a terrifying moments as has mil hamas militants kill daughter and kidnapped her husband.

in tel aviv, hundreds of thousands members of israeli hostages taken by hamas held a rally at the military headquarters, demanding greater action by the israeli government. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said his government opposes any temporary cease-fire unless all the hostages are freed. an israeli describes the terrifying ordeal she and her family experienced when the military group attacked her kibbutz that day. hamas killed her daughter, kidnapped her husband, and live streamed their ordeal on facebook. here's what she told wolf blitzer. and a warning, what you're about to hear and see is indeed disturbing. >> your kids, they're okay? >> define okay? >> you tell me.

>> it's like sanity insanity. one day is up, one day is down. they cry, they miss their dad. >> they're 9 and 11 years old. >> yes. they are -- we buried myan a week and a half ago. they were there and i think they had to do it for the closure. because i don't think you understand at that age, death. i don't think you understand that your sister is dead without seeing and actually i hope, they didn't see. the funeral was some kind of closure and they miss her. he painted a picture that he could bury with myan and dial was really, you know quiet and didn't want to come, didn't want

to see it. it was a closed casket, of course. you can see them. they wanted to hug her. and they wanted to, you know, just pet her hair, her curls. and hold her hand and they couldn't. >> their older sister. >> yes. they admired her. she was loving, kind, she was a ray of light. she was pure, pure good. seriously, she was so good. i do not understand, how can you kill -- it's like killing a unicorn. you can never kill a unicorn. but now, we are really united and focused about bringing sahi home, alive and well. >> what do you think, is it -- are you hopeful? that he will come home? >> yeah. he will come home. he will come home to us, yes. he has to. alive and well, yes. the way he got out.

>> i hope so. >> i know so. he will. i'll do anything, anything in my power or everybody's power, i will use everybody's power just to bring him and all of the hostages home, but him especially. yes. he's my husband. he's my better half. he's my stronger half. i need him. he needs to mourn his daughter. he needs to hug his kids. he didn't do anything to deserve this. nothing. peaceful man. he just, you know, lived in a kibbutz. he was jewish and lived in the kibbutz. that's it. that's the reason. that's the reason myan was murdered. hateful. just pure hate. pure hate. nothing. nothing more. she didn't do anything! what an 18-year-old playing volleyball, in love with her boyfriend, can do? what did she do to them?

nothing? just living in the kibbutz on the border of gaza. that's the problem. that's her fault. that's why she was murdered, yes. that's why everybody was murdered. because it was a slaughter. they killed women and children. they have a 9-month-old baby out there. how can you take -- what did he do to you? what? what did he do to you? nothing! is he a soldier? what did he do to you? they have grandmothers, 85-year-old alma, which is my neighborhood. she's sick. she needed medicine. they took 15-year-old dafna and 80-year-old allah. they killed her father and her almost stepmother and stepbrother. they shot him in the back. how do you do it? why? and they did nothing? they weren't armed, they did

nothing. nothing. purely hate. that's what happened. it's -- and we know that that cannot be. we had it. a long time ago, we said, never again, and it did happen. it did. so i'm asking everybody, everybody in the world, in the u.s., everybody that can help, stop this hatred. stop these crimes. bring them home. bring the hostage home. please. >> your beautiful 18-year-old, myan. >> that's myan. >> as we say -- may her memory be a blessing. and this is sahi. let's hope that sahi, 49-year-old dad, a father, who has been kidnapped and being held in gaza by hamas, let's hope he comes home soon.

>> yes. >> when he comes home, let me know. i would like to come meet him. >> okay. i will. i i will.. thanank you.u. ththank you soso much. > okay.

let me bring you up to date

with the other stories that's happening in the world. police in germany are asking travelers to stay away from hamburg's airport. they're dealing there with a family hostage situation. all flights in and out of hamburg at the airport have been suspended indefinitely. the shutdown came after a 35-year-old man reportedly smashed through security barriers and drove his car on to the tarmac and underneath a plane on saturday evening. when we last heard, the man was still inside his car, along with his 4-year-old daughter and officials say there are a substantial amount of special forces trying to resolve the situation. rescuers are scrambling to get food tents and other supplies to a remote region of nepal after a powerful earthquake struck while people slept on friday night. some villages have almost been leveled. official say 157 people have been killed. that number very likely to go up. cnn's michael holmes reports. >> reporter: devastation all around in this village in northwestern nepal, not a single

structure in sight is still standing. survivors say a nighttime earthquake magnitude 5.6 shook them awake. >> we were sleeping. the earthquake came when we were sleeping. the house was shaking, but we escaped and survived. there were three of us in the house. one got killed and only two survived. >> reporter: rescue operations are underway to try to find survivors trapped in the massive piles of bricks and wood that were once homes. security forces have been deployed to assist in those efforts. napoli police say it's estimated that 90% of houses in some villages were destroyed. but the rocky terrain and remote location of the quake zone, some 500 kilometers west of kathmandu, is slowing down some search and rescue teams. officials say they can't contact some of the hardest-hit areas, where about 190,000 people live

in villages, in the hills of the himalayan mountains. it's still unknown how badly some of those places were affected, though injured people are packing local hospitals. others are sleeping outdoors in the cold without tents or gathering at shelters, some too frightened to go back to their homes, many without a home to return to. the country's prime minister mitted the quake zone on saturday to offer his condolences and support, both of which the country could need more of if the death toll rises as officials have warned. the quake is already the deadliest in nepal since 2015, when at least 9,000 people were killed when two earthquakes struck the country. michael holmes, cnn. the funeral service for the actor matthew perry was a true gathering of friends, if you will.
