War in the Holy Land

The shape and scope of Middle East history changed following Hamas’ October 7^th attacks on Israel; what followed was the most consequential war in the long history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. PBS News Hour mobilized to cover the war, and bring its reality to viewers with immediacy, fairness and vital context. News Hour’s Middle East-based special correspondent Leila Molana-Allen arrived on Monday, October 9^th, and for six weeks reported every facet of this new and bloody war. With a small team, including a local producer and videographer, she provided the most nuanced, careful and comprehensive coverage of the beginning weeks of this war on American television; combining deep knowledge of the conflict and region, and the time to tell stories from many perspectives.

Haiti in Crisis

The U.N. Security Council expressed deep concern over the security and humanitarian crises in Haiti.
