GAZA DEATH TOLL-VO

At least 3,478 people have been killed in Gaza since October 7, according to a statement
Wednesday by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.

More than 12,000 others have been injured, the statement said.

The situation in Gaza is spiraling "out of control," World Health Organization Director-General
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned on Wednesday.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Tedros said that WHO's supplies have been stuck at
the border for four days, adding "every second we wait to get medical aid in, we lose lives."

He called for the "violence on all sides to stop" and immediate access to "start delivering life-
saving supplies" to Gaza.

BIDEN SPEECH-SOT

--LEAD IN--

PRESIDENT BIDEN WRAPPED UP HIS TRIP IN ISRAEL WEDNESDAY AMID THAT

NATION'S ONGOING WAR WITH HAMAS.

KEY ARAB LEADERS CANCELED MEETINGS WITH BIDEN AFTER AN EXPLOSION

AT A HOSPITAL IN GAZA KILLED HUNDREDS OF PALESTINIANS.

ARAB HEADS OF STATE BLAMED ISRAEL FOR THE EXPLOSION, BUT ISRAEL SAYS
IT WAS THE RESULT OF A FAILED ISLAMIC JIHAD ROCKET LAUNCHED FROM
GAZA.

PRESIDENT BIDEN ADDRESSED THE DEADLY BLAST -- AS WELL AS THE

SUFFERING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CONFLICT.

President Joe Biden: "Palestinian people are suffering greatly as well. We mourn the loss of
innocent Palestinian lives like the entire world. I was outraged and saddened by the enormous
loss of life yesterday in a hospital in Gaza, based on the information we have seen to date, it
appears the result of an errant rocket fired by a terrorist group in Gaza."

THIS ALL COMES IN THE WAKE OF HAMAS' OCTOBER 7TH TERRORIST ATTACKS
ON ISRAEL THAT KILLED 14-HUNDRED PEOPLE.

IN RESPONSE TO THE ATTACKS, ISRAEL HAS VOWED TO WIPE OUT HAMAS.

PALESTINIAN HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY NEARLY 35-HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE NOW

BEEN KILLED IN GAZA.

KIDS DYING-VO
Over 400 children are reportedly killed or injured every day following Israeli bombardment of
Gaza since October 7th, according to a statement from the humanitarian ad organization
UNICEF.

The statement released on Wednesday said that the killing and captivity of children must stop,
Children are not a target

25 days of ongoing bombardment since October 7th and the recent Israeli airstrikes against the
Jabalya refugee camp in Gaza have reportedly killed more than 3,500 children in Gaza with over
6,800 children reportedly injured.

The IDF said it was targeting Hamas members and that it killed several Hamas members in the
Jabalya refugee camp in Gaza. Hamas has strongly denied the presence of its commander at the
camp. The IDF maintains it does everything it can to minimize civilian casualties and claimed
the strikes targeted a "Hamas command and control complex in Jabaliya."

UNICEF said refugee camps are protected under international law and "parties to conflict" have
obligations to respect and protect civilians from attack. "UNICEF reiterates its urgent call to all
parties to the conflict for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, to ensure the protection of all
children, and for safe and unimpeded humanitarian access to deliver lifesaving aid at scale across
the Gaza Strip, according to International Humanitarian Law," the statement said.

MASS SHOOTER-PKG

WE'RE LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE MAINE MASS
SHOOTER, ROBERT CARD.

POLICE WERE ASKED TO CHECK ON CARD JUST WEEKS BEFORE LAST

WEDNESDAY'S ATTACKS IN LEWISTON.

IT CAME AFTER A FELLOW NATIONAL GUARDSMAN EXPRESSED CONCERN CARD

WOULD "SNAP AND COMMIT A MASS SHOOTING."

CARD WAS FOUND DEAD FRIDAY FROM A SELF-INFLICTED GUNSHOT WOUND.

HIS BODY WAS DISCOVERED INSIDE A BOX TRAILER BELONGING TO A

RECYCLING FACILITY HE HAD RECENTLY BEEN FIRED FROM.

C-N-N'S SHIMON PROKUPECZ HAS MORE.

TRT: 2:13

JUST WEEKS BEFORE HE WENT ON A RAMPAGE, KILLING 18 PEOPLE - THE MAINE

NATIONAL GUARD ASKED LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO INITIATE - A WELLNESS
CHECK ON ROBERT CARD -

A SOURCE TELLING CNN, ONE NATIONAL GUARDSMAN WAS CONCERNED, "Card

is going to snap and commit a mass shooting."

THE SAGADAHOC COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE WENT TO THE FORMER

RESERVIST'S HOME TWICE …

A SOURCE TELLING CNN HE WASN'T HOME DURING ONE OF THOSE VISITS,

PROMPTING THE SERGEANT WHO TRIED TO CHECK ON HIM TO SEND OUT A
MISSING PERSON'S REPORT.

THE OTHER VISIT WAS ON SEPTEMBER 16TH.

THIS TIME THEY BELIEVED HE WAS HOME.

"Card could be heard moving inside the trailer but would not answer the door."
OFFICERS LEFT WITHOUT MAKING CONTACT… DECIDING, "Due to being in a very
disadvantageous position, we decided to back away."

SOURCES TELLING CNN, A SAGADAHOC COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY SPOKE TO

HIS BROTHER ON SEPTEMBER 17TH…

HE TOLD AUTHORITIES HE AND HIS FATHER WOULD, "Work with Robert to make sure
he does not have any other firearms."

IT'S UNCLEAR IF ANY FURTHER ACTION WAS TAKEN AFTER THAT AND A
SOURCE Told CNN THE CASE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CLOSED ON OCTOBER
FIRST… 24 DAYS BEFORE THE SHOOTING.

ACCORDING TO SOURCES, THE MAINE NATIONAL GUARD INITIATED THE

WELLNESS CHECK BECAUSE THE RESERVIST STARTED HEARING VOICES IN THE
SPRING AND SAY, "they had only gotten worse."

THE NATIONAL GUARD ALSO INFORMED THE SAGADAHOC COUNTY SHERIFF'S

OFFICE OF HIS HISTORY OF MENTAL ILLNESS, INCLUDING HIS STAY AT A
PSYCHIATRIC FACILITY IN JULY.

ACCORDING TO A SOURCE, THE NATIONAL GUARD WAS TRYING TO GET HIM TO

RETIRE UNDER THE CONDITION THAT HE GET MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT.

CNN STARTED RAISING QUESTIONS EARLY ON IN THE INVESTIGATION,

Shimon Prokupecz: "As you stand here today, was law enforcement notified of the threats he
was making? Of his condition?"

Michael Sauschuck, Commissioner, Maine Department of Public Safety: "I won't answer that/but
based on what I've seen we're going to continue to work through that. "

A SPOKESPERSON FOR STATE POLICE TELLING CNN SUNDAY, "DPS has no

regulatory authority over law-enforcement agencies in Maine."

THE SAGADAHOC COUNTY SHERIFF AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTY WHO CARRIED
OUT THE WELLNESS CHECK HAVEN'T BEEN REACHED FOR COMMENT ON THE
CASE.

THE CARD FAMILY AND THE MAINE NATIONAL GUARD ALSO HAVE NOT
RESPONDED TO REQUESTS FOR A STATEMENT.
