Global National: Oct. 7, 2024 | Israel mourns 1 year after deadly Oct. 7 attack

One year after the deadliest day in Israel’s history, peace seems further away than ever with no reprieve in sight. At memorials across the country, Israelis mourned the dead and comforted the anguished families whose loved ones are still held hostage in Gaza. Jeff Semple reports from Jerusalem.

More than 41,000 people have been killed in Israel’s near-endless bombardment of Gaza, according to the Hamas-led health ministry. 10,000 people are still missing in the chaos. Redmond Shannon has firsthand accounts from those inside Gaza, where people are forced to focus only on survival.

Plus, a Calgary man has for months been trying to help his family flee the besieged enclave, where there is no easy way out for the millions who are trapped there. The family had been counting on a special government sponsorship program, but the application process was unrealistic and bogged down with bureaucracy. Eventually, some members of his family found their own way to safety. Heather Yourex-West reports on a reunion a year in the making.

And on this sombre anniversary, Israel is ramping up its assault on Lebanon. It has not relented on its strikes targeting Hezbollah, even after devastating parts of the country. Mercedes Stephenson reports from Cyprus.

In Florida, people are rushing to pick up the pieces from Hurricane Helene, as they brace for another hurricane to arrive. Hurricane Milton is set to slam into the already-battered sunshine state on Wednesday. Evacuation orders have been issued for areas in the storm’s path. Jackson Proskow reports on the race to be ready for Hurricane Milton.

Not the 7th of October that started it all. It started on 1947
And no matter happens, we will never forget.

[Kevin_geekgineering]

don't bring them here, Canada is not a refugee camp.

[NancyAbdelrazek-uw]

What about the genocide that continued for a year

[mazkaibil]

Hamas already in Canada! Just a matter of time to show true colors. I pray for Canada and my fellow Canadians. Our government keeps pouring people who don't care about others of life. God helps us!

[k.doolittle]

Repeating the prescribed narrative as always.

[rickkhan]

I like to clarify that Palestinian rallies are NOT against Jews or any religion or ethnicity . They are simply condemning killing of civilians specially children. Actually lot of Jews join the rallies.

When can we have any Canadian news on this channel? Is everything okay in yukon, NWT, Halifax, BC, Red Deer, Brandon, Sudbury, North Bay, Saguenay or Moncton? Why are we being inundated with news from all over the world with so little airtime for problems within Canada.

The Grayzone - How Israel sells its destruction of Gaza

[robertdabob]

It's sick how casually they can talk about this extermination and ignore the war crimes and all the history that led to this brutal event?! It's no wonder people think this began with the Hamas attack. That'd be a lie of omission and propaganda.

Wanted to find out what life is like there did ya? Really? Not what's being done to end the f'n carnage? Seems a little too causal for this content, know what I mean? Little psychopathic in the delivery there no? 🤏

Dear Global News, do you condemn the hannible directive yes or no

[jakenigemma]

leaders now a days dont care for their own people.

[ritahann]

Hatred has come back to the Palestinians

[MoeCamera]

Dear Global News, when are you going to have a day where you commemorate the millions of lives that were lost in Iraq and Afghanistan by the hands of your government?

[werunapologeticallyprolife]

We have one side actively calling for Jen 0 side and the other currently committing it. Nothing to see here but monsters.

Prayers for all the poor innocent people trapped in this nightmare🙏

I would be more concerned about the refugees and others using loopholes to get into this country such as declearing they are "gay etc" and thus getting automatic entry here. Many terrorists have entered Canada via this method without further security checks. They get free healthcare food, rent etc, well our people here suffer.

[El-Dorado]

Person A has his limbs blown off and is completely ignored by the media. Person B suffers a papercut and the media is fawning all over him.

[uripre]

Mind asking that Gazan family if they support what Hamas did on October 7th, and whether Israel has a right to exist within any given borders? I give it 85%, given recent polls, you'd be horrified by their answers. Canada stands with Israel 🇮🇱❤🇨🇦

[Livegoodonenessteam]

How about 40k people killed in gaza by isreal they were not all terrorist

[Diming]

After reporting the pally side global finally reports the side that actuallly suffered on oct 7th

[robertdabob]

The Lebanon war is the colonial expansion of an ethno state, in case you mistakenly thought Israel was some form of liberal democracy or the like .
