UN says Gazans forced to eat animal feed to survive. Now even that is running out.

The impact of the war in Gaza is ratcheting up on Israel, the US, and on the people of Gaza themselves. More than 30,000 are now dead - an unthinkable toll of Israel's offensive, since the October 7th Hamas attack. In an astonishing insight, UNRWA Chief Philippe Lazzarini tells Christiane the looming famine there is now so bad, that some people have been eating animal feed to survive. Now even that is running out. Then, the head of the Norwegian Refugee Council Jan Egeland tells Christiane that he is “shaken” by the “horrific conditions” he's seeing firsthand in Gaza. “We're really, really overstretched in this ocean of needs,” he says. Meantime, Donald Trump reportedly has an old friend in town next week - Hungary's far-right leader Viktor Orban. They will have plenty to agree on, like their affinity with Vladimir Putin who Orban has courted publicly, and Trump has praised for his “strong control” of Russia. How will authoritarianism and Trump's admiration for these so-called strong men play with voters in November? Mary Trump, the ex-president's niece and clinical psychologist, gives Christiane her diagnosis on Trump’s “strongman syndrome.” Then, CNN's Will Ripley sees firsthand the deadly game of cat and mouse playing out with China off Taiwan's coast. Also this hour, President Biden turned the hysteria about his age on its head this week, by attacking the advancing years of his political adversary, Donald Trump - who is only four years his junior. Media critic, columnist and academic Margaret Sullivan says enough is enough with the herd mentality coverage of Biden’s age, because this election is about much more than “chasing clicks”. In the Amanpour Archive, the moment Christiane witnessed people dodging sniper fire for the chance to find whatever fresh food they could during the 1990's siege of Sarajevo, which ended 28 years ago this week. And finally, in the week that saw U.S. presidents both past and present at the Texas border - where the immigration crisis is a top election issue - a brand new HBO documentary delves into the often-dark history of the Lone Star State. "God Save Texas" is an adaptation of the book by the same name from Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist Lawrence Wright. He tells Christiane why Texas is so emblematic of the struggles at play in America ahead of the presidential election. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
