Description
The population of Rafah, the most southern city in the Gaza Strip, has ballooned since the start of Israel's war on Hamas, draining already scarce medical supplies. A Doctors Without Borders emergency coordinator in Rafah tells Global News about the impossible task of providing proper medical care in Gaza. An estimated 3.2 million people live in the West Bank, including more than 700,000 Jewish settlers. The divide is stark in Hebron, a city split in two, where thousands of Palestinians live under total control of the Israeli military. Daniele Hamamdjian visits Hebron to speak with some people about what life is like under that occupation. The parents of an Ontario Indigenous woman who passed away in February are speaking out for the first time about the care she received. November Kelly died of a severe infection her family says could have been prevented, raising fresh questions about the care Indigenous people receive in Canada's health-care system. Melissa Ridgen travelled to Onigaming First Nation, where she spoke with Kelly's family. Ontario is revamping the rules on alcohol sales, meaning convenience stores and big box retailers will be able to sell booze. The changes, when they'll take effect, how this could create competition for liquor sales in Quebec, and why mental health and addictions experts are concerned. It's called morning sickness, but many pregnant women can get very sick all day. What causes it has been unexplained - until now.

No assembly is required, but there's still a catch.
