How Seeking Food in Gaza Has Become So Deadly

The suffering in Gaza has reached new depths, and now finding food, which was already scarce, has become a deadly endeavor.

Aaron Boxerman, who covers Gaza for The Times, explains who is behind the distribution system and why it has been so deadly.

Guest: Aaron Boxerman, a reporter for The New York Times covering Israel and Gaza.
