- Dozens of American medical volunteers are trapped inside Gaza after Israeli forces took over the Rafah crossing. The border with Egypt has been firmly shut, stopping relief from getting in and people from getting out. NBC News’ Raf Sanchez speaks to two of the workers who are trying to get out.

#Gaza #Israel #Rafah
I wish the best for these kind professionals. The world needs every bit of kindness.
You mean terrorist supporters.
So you want more people siding with terrorists?
What brave selfless people with huge hearts risking their lives to save lives. ❤ The world needs more humans that truly care for the helpless. Thank you!
…or stupid fools who think they are helping but are simply getting in the way. Aiding and abetting terrorists are not saving lives.
I send prayers and good energy to you brave people who are brave enough to enter it a war zone and provide help. Thank you so much.
That's the risk.
What about american hostages trapped in gaza ?
THANK YOU!
These people? This is like going to Berlin in April 1945 to help the suffering Germans.
Although in fairness, some of those German civilians may have been less culpable than these.
What about them? The IDF has already killed most of them.
You don't carpet bomb the areas where your hostages are being held if you expect them to come home.
This was never about hostages.
Israel doesn't care about the hostages. Israel claimed finding Hamas headquarters but didn't release the hostages
Ask satenyahu why did he refuse to get them back
Blame izi
They are adult. They were warned. They chosed. Don't cry.
They chose to be there
I have a problem with your comment cause it shows your non caring attitude.I bet if that was your relative you wouldn't like it that they were trapped in a war zone crisis. It also made America look weak that an alleged ally doesn't allow an American citizens get out.
@darlenedowie2926 I was a soldier , went places most won't. I understand them more than you would know. But relatives or not, they chose to go.. No, it doesn't show America is weak.
@DS-jp9cy I am an American citizen who has family members who travel to foreign countries, and I don't have faith in my country and government to rescue them. I have family members who were in the military, and your opinion is full of b/s. It should not have been family members and retired military officers and soldiers who rescue American citizens.
@darlenedowie2926 how is my opinion full of bs, was it not their choice? Military is a choice , going to help is a choice. I didn't say send the military to save them. I said they chose, going anywhere in any fighting zone puts one at risks, and it is a choice. .
@@DS-jp9cy We are to agree to disagree
Why were they in Gaza during a raging war?
Sleeping beauty ! Where else ! An entire continent of brainwashed !
These doctors didn't need to travel so far to give humanitarian aid. Haiti is closer, and they could stay longer there.
😂😂😂 u have no soul 😂😂😂
@@JARzxzxzx Actually, they’re showing an incredible amount of intelligence.
" To get away from the fighting " ........🤬...........
🙏🏼❤🖤🕊💚🤲🏻
There’s also American hostages too… you never seem to mention them….
And you don’t care about them either
Nobody does
Not even Netanyahu.
Besides.
They’re israeli.
Why should they, when they don’t give a crap about the American hostages Hamas took or the U.S. borders or the cost of living in U.S. or our own homeless. Do you honestly think this government cares for any citizens of the U.S.?
They’ve been mentioned 100,000 times. How deep is your head up your a55?
@@whatsgoingon07 I’m sorry you’re such an angry little dude. Seek help.
AMEN❤They have a way out.More fake news to promote their propaganda.NO MORE OCT 7.NEVER AGAIN.CHRIST SAYS.
So now fox is concerned
It’s nbc

This is my biggest problem with my president of the fact that he doesn't get every American out of a dangerous situation. A perfect example is gaza and afghanistan where he left American citizens behind in both deadly and dangerous situations.
It amazes me that Americans volunteer to put themselves in active war zones and then make themselves vicims that are just dying to get back home!
🤪🤪🤪
2:42 those medics have been there for 2 weeks... and are due to leave in a couple days... so they just went to take a couple selfies and get out 🤣🤣😂😂
This situation has been going on for months yet you are only reporting now ! Well done for sleeping princesses !
Reverse the balfor declaration and restore the rights of all people on the land - only then after acks for peace !
How selfless🥺🤍 wishing them all safety, these are the real heros of the world. #FreePalestine 🤍🇵🇸
When you go to a place that is literally run by terrorists that can happen.
Do you support bombing hospitals, refugee camps, ambulances?.
Do you support oppression and occupation?
@@yessy-yn6swlike terrorists?
In 2004, Israel’s head of the National Security Council, Giora Eiland, regarded the Gaza Strip as “a huge concentration camp.” (This was before the 16+year Blockaid of food, water, fuel and electricity in 2007.)
Let’s not forget that Netanyahu funded Hamas millions and millions of dollars in cash for decades. This was done in order to prevent a two state solution. Per Times of Israel & Jerusalem Post.
"Let's not be intimidated by the world," Eiland
Clarified that the whole Gazan civilian population was a legitimate target. "The international community warns us of a humanitarian disaster in Gaza and of severe epidemics. We must not shy away from this, as difficult as that may be. After all, severe epidemics in the south of the Gaza Strip will bring victory closer and reduce casualties among IDF soldiers" (2014)
"And no, this is not about cruelty for cruelty's sake, since we don't support the suffering of the other side as an end but as a means."- Giora Eiland (2014)
“As long as there is no electricity in Gaza most hours of the day, as long as the sources of water are reduced and as long as the unemployment rate reaches more than 40 percent, the situation in Gaza won’t be stabilized.”- Giora Eiland (2015)
"Israel is not fighting a terrorist organization but against the State of Gaza."-Giora Eiland(2023)
“Israel must not provide the other side with any capability that prolongs its life.”-Giora Eiland(2023)
Eiland's outrageously genocidal piece was endorsed by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who tweeted the full article and said he "agreed with every word." (2023)
“I believe that the only effective way to achieve that strategic goal is to impose a dramatic, continuous, and strict siege over Gaza. This is what Israel has begun to do - we cut the supply of energy, water and diesel to the Strip. During the last 17 years, maybe we were naïve enough, good enough, stupid enough, humane enough, that we supplied Gaza will all these materials and allowed thousands of Palestinians to enter daily into Israel to work and bring food to their children.
That will not be repeated. But it’s not enough.
In order to make the siege effective, we have to prevent others from giving assistance to Gaza. Israel sent a clear message that even if they want to sell containers with diesel and other energy we will not let it happen and if needed we will bomb these containers.”- (2023)
So ur justifying October 7?
Tell them to join the American hostages
Going there in the first place is your own fault.
Lol 😂😂😂😂 why would they even go over there
They knew what could happen and chose to go there. No one but themselves and Hamas to blame for the situation they are in !!!
I’m surprised they allow here to roam around without a niqab or hijab.
You are in danger there. Even if you’re giving help, they still hate you.
These are mostly Muslim medical personnel so they are welcome there. The ones that aren’t, however, are despised by the Palestinians. They’re just too stupid and naive to know it
Who is they, is it Islamic people?
@@user-nl5eg6ho1c specifically the Palestinians. The people that the Americans are supporting, pitching tents and shouting “From the river to the sea” for are the same people that celebrated and danced in the streets on September 11th, 2001. They are the same people that take homosexuals and throw them off the rooftops of buildings. They hate American non-Muslims almost as much as they hate the Jews. These are the facts.
Their fault, they put themselves in that situation and honestly, I’m pretty sure they could leave
No, the fault lies with the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and the United States President Biden because Prime Minister Netanyahu doesn't want to stop this madness and President Biden signed off on this madness because he values one group of people over another group of people. As an American citizen, this crisis has made every American complicit in this mess and it has made everyone unsafe in the world.
TH-cam erasing my comment doesn't make it untrue because PR Minister Netanyahu doesn't want to stop this madness and President Biden has signed off on it. Every American is complicit in this madness and everyone is unsafe.
Forget Gaza. What about the hostages
Israel doesn't care about the hostages. Israel claimed finding Hamas headquarters but didn't release the hostages
Bibi doesn’t care. He sacrificed them for his own evil agenda.
Prayers ....dear Lord bless those with your favor and mercy and your plan Father God for all those going thru this stressful time. I ask that you pour out your Holy Spirit during this chaotic experience and those who need healing help , comfort and strength
Sucks to be them, but they chose to go there.
Where were they when Israelis were attacked and in need of medical care?
Probably shouldn’t be there then. No sympathy
Hey, when Ehud Barak visited Epstein island 30 or so times was that official state business? Did the United States pay for that too? Who was paying Epstein's "salary"? Was that you or us, or both?
Asking for a friend.
Blame Hamas
You go into a war zone and you get war. Duh...
Message send food and medical
Love Mom
Why did I see a video about hundreds enjoying the beach if bombs are going off?
If you meant Palestinians that’s how they clean themselves and relief stress. I’d question if you see an issue with it despite comments from the Israeli side claiming it’s hardly genocide due to it or they “deserve” harsher treatment
@@jl-tart7064So they don’t know how to bathe at home? Every time they need a bath they go to the beach? Saint Greta needs to shut that down; can’t be having all that soap in the ocean.
@@AndrewFloydWebber their homes were destroyed. This is about as bad as merely telling homeless people to buy a home, when they don’t have such resources in the first place.
People have used rivers and oceans for thousands of years, maybe if their homes and utilities were not shut off let alone destroyed, this would have occurred differently.
@@jl-tart7064 Oh, so your original statement was simply a misstatement; what you meant to say was that Palestinians whose homes have been destroyed go to the beach out of necessity.
@@AndrewFloydWebber I didn’t make a mistake, I meant what I stated. By the way, I stated that in my reply, if you didn’t understand that then, well now you do
Well they went there, so......
God bless these doctors!
Do you really care?? Exactly!!!!
Who told them to go at that place
There’s still five American hostages in Gaza. I noticed this clip didn’t include their opinions…
Oh well. Bye
They got themselves trapped there.
Yes their compassion and humanity got them stuck in the middle of a genocide perpetrated by monsters.

A Palestinian man cheated on you with your sister?
🐔
They are helping innocent people...if you were red white and blue then you'd have a heart for them NOT twisting their words
Trapped? They volunteered to go there.😂🎉
Rich of you to celebrate these brave souls being placed in harms way. They are not treating Hamas, they are treating Palestinians civilians, including children. I hope you look back on your live and see what you have done of value, instead of whining on the internet about people that are most likely smarter and kinder than you. 😊
Poor babies. They need to be toughened up anyways.
Thats their fault!!! Who told them to go knowing whats happening??? And i get it, they just wanted to help, but you went KNOWING what can happen. So its happening and now theyre stuck. Thats what you get!!!
They shouldn't feel stranded. After alll they went to help terrorists. Should should stay gaza
Over 50% of Gazans are under the age of 13. Aid workers are going there to help children and the many families who aren't terrorists. These aid workers have done a noble thing and it will be credited to them in Heaven. They are far better people then you or I are.
did you watch the video friend?? babies in incubators are terrorists?? they also went on the paraglider on October 7th?? again, babies in incubators that's what those doctors went to help. they're helping pregnant women, chronic illness/cancer patients, disabled Palestinians, innocents that are being hurt by the war. how would you feel if you lived in a country with a weak government that was overthrown by terrorists and you as an INNOCENT CIVILIAN watch your mother die, your daughters burnt to death, and you lose your arms/legs and you need treatment... would you want the people helping you to be called terrorists??? seriously you should feel ashamed those American doctors are. to terrorists for helping innocents stranded in a war. think critically before you comment next time friend.

America has a responsibility to force Israel to stop this!!!!!
Why
Can you elaborate on why it’s our responsibility?
Don't go to a place in war even to help these days... The world has gone crazy and its time to be smart and responsible ! Go help somewhere not in war there is 1000's of places....
They should not be there.
They are on their own.
They came over to Israel and started this mess.
I have no sympathy for Americans over there...
It was a stupid decision.
That's not this country's business, putz!
They put themselves in such a foolish situation
I pray they will get out safely, but if not, their reward in heaven will be great. As John 15;13 says "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." Indeed, they knew the danger, and they were willing to make the sacrifice to save others, they are far better people than me (and than you.)

WAR IS DUMB
You think of that all by yourself.
I guess they shoulda stayed in the states. What did they think would happen?
100%
Well when u have an actual beating heart you might understand why they do what they do till then you'll never no why..

Shame that the Palestinians allied themselves with Hamas. This could've been avoided.
It seems TH-cam doesn’t like true comments that don’t adhere to Israeli lies. Go and look up the history of Palestine and tell me what you would do after 60+ years.
I think you may find that if you were in a similar situation you wouldn’t be so opposed to armed resistance…
If they were stupid enough to go then they get what they get.
Propaganda
That’s on you. I wouldn’t roam MS-13 territory at 2am. Don’t cry now. Adult decisions come with adult consequences.
People in Israel God angry please don't bring war Benjamin lying don't hear Benjamin lying
Stupid people in stupid situations.

Surely they knew what consequences could happen if they volunteered in war zone country! They could help so many impoverished veterans here in the US, but no.

My friends I need to call out your BS. You need to call upon your Hamas Friends--they are the one hurting innocents. Palestinians want a war, they elected Hamas for to fight the war, they are getting a war. The war is not pretty thing, there are bloody and dead bodies. 34000 dead is very small number out millions; especially, in the small tight Gaza.
Be graceful for low numbers of dead; if Palestinians shoot rockets and committed terrorism acts toward Russian and China, the wish for Genocide---will come truth. So stop crying like a baby, don't start the war, if you cannot handle dead bodies. Self-inflicted injury is not a victim.

PALESTINA IS NAMED IN THE BIBLE
All translations render Joel 3:4 as Philistia, with the exception of King James.
King James was put together 1541 years, after the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. As one last insult to the Jews, the Romans renamed the land extending from Syria, all the way to the southern most tip of Israel.
The authors of king jame bible, were familiar with this land being called Palestine, which included Israel, Lebanon, Syria.
There never was a country called Palestine.
Nice attempt in trying to legitimize a group of terrorists.
@@Xhopp3rAnd Philistia refers to the land of the Philistines, Old Testament nemesis of the Israelites, from Samson and Delilah to David and Goliath.
Does anybody know who they were ethnically? Does it matter?
@@johnholliday5874 The Philistines were Phoenicians or sea people, that moved inland and took over the land.

giving aid to innocent Palestinians is antisemitic
