Oct. 7 marks one year since Hamas attacked Israel. As the devastation and displacement continue, calls for a ceasefire have mounted.

More than 41,000 people have died in the humanitarian crisis. The World Health Organization reports over 885 healthcare workers have been killed and at least 120 healthcare workers are in Israeli custody “being arbitrarily detained.” This is all in addition to the destruction of most of Gaza’s hospitals by Israeli airstrikes and the ongoing medical blockade.

On Monday’s edition of “Closer Look,” show host Rose Scott talked with three guests about the past 12 months.
