60 Minutes Reports on “142 Days in Gaza” & “China” on February 25 2024

This Sunday, February 25, 2024, “60 Minutes” will present two compelling segments offering deep dives into international crises and geopolitical tensions, airing from 7:00-8:00 PM ET/PT on the CBS Television Network.

142 Days in Gaza

The first segment, “142 Days in Gaza,” reported by Sharyn Alfonsi, provides an in-depth look at the harrowing situation in Gaza following nearly five months of airstrikes and a ground offensive by Israeli forces. This military action, a response to the October 7 terror attacks by Hamas, has resulted in significant devastation, including the displacement of over 1 million individuals and the reported deaths of more than 29,000 Palestinians. Alfonsi’s report, leveraging CBS-shot footage and narratives from an American doctor and aid worker on the ground, sheds light on the collapsing humanitarian aid and healthcare system within Gaza. This segment stands out for offering insights into the dire circumstances faced by those in the 25-mile-long enclave, a story largely untold due to restrictions on independent media coverage.

China

The second piece for the evening is a double-length segment from correspondent Lesley Stahl, who brings an exclusive report from inside China. Stahl’s segment marks a rare occasion, as few Western journalists have managed to enter the People’s Republic since 2020, following the expulsion of some journalists and the restriction of access to others by the Chinese government. The report features an interview with U.S. ambassador to China Nicholas Burns, discussing the complex relationship between the U.S. and China, issues surrounding foreign investment amid expanded espionage laws, intellectual property theft under President Xi Jinping, and the economic challenges facing China as its population ages. Additionally, Stahl offers observations on the national mood post the stringent zero-COVID policy, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of affairs in China.
