What did you see?
11:36
It's my third time in Gaza, uh, since October the 7th.
11:41
So in the last 27 months, I went to Gaza three times.
11:45
This time I could see, uh, more food in the markets, in the streets.
11:52
But that's the only good news.
11:54
I was completely shocked, Melissa, by the devastation.
11:58
Again, I visit Gaza six months ago.

9 MINS LATER

20:42
You know, in a way, when, when everything is under, under threat and the world is in crisis, it is the time, uh, when people pull together who believe in global cooperation and believe in investing i-in, in making big investments in, in humanity and peace.
10:34
Where are you most concerned about the ripple effects right now?
10:37
We are mostly concerned about the consequences of the disruption on fertilizers.
10:45
I know that everyone is talking about energy, oil and gas, but the, the fact that there is so much dependence from so many countries, particularly in Africa and in South Asia, South Asia, uh, from fertilizers from the Gulf will very likely trigger a massive food, uh, uh, security crisis with, uh, devastating consequences on the poorest.
11:05
That's why we can't delay.
11:07
We must find a solution, uh, to, uh, unblock, uh, the strait.
11:12
Of course, freedom of navigation is critical.
11:15
We must have everything going through the strait.
12:23
If access remains constrained, how do you prioritize which countries, which regions get the fertilizer and get the raw materials?
