We explain the situation in the Middle East | Nightly News: Kids Edition

We begin with a major story that is still unfolding about a war this week in the Middle East that broke out between Israel and Hamas which controls an area known as Gaza. We ask our friend Andrea Mitchell to explain what’s happening and tell us about some of the history and geography that’s involved. Kids, you should grab a parent or grown-up to watch with you in case you have any questions. Inspiring Kids — we visit a backyard farm where a brother-sister duo is helping those in need while having a little fun along the way.
