Global National: Oct. 15, 2023 | 5th Canadian confirmed dead from Hamas attack in Israel

In tonight's top story: A fifth Canadian has been confirmed to be dead from terrorist group Hamas' deadly attack in Israel. According to his mother, 21-year-old Netta Epstein threw himself onto a grenade to save his girlfriend. Jeff Semple has more on the tragedy.

Pressure is mounting over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Crystal Goomansingh reports from Jerusalem, as United Nations aid agencies are "deeply concerned" about the spiralling humanitarian situation.

Getting more than one million people, including hundreds of Canadians and Americans, out of harm's way in Gaza is no easy task. However, there are major hurdles getting humanitarian aid into the Palestinian territory where food and water is running out, and hospitals are at the brink. But today, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Egypt's Rafah border crossing will reopen. Joel Senick reports.

Plus, people in Poland went to the polls for their Sunday election, and the country's opposition leader and the outgoing prime minister are both claiming victory. Exit polls suggest the Ruling Law and Justice Party won by the most votes, yet the country's coalition combinations may favour opposition parties. As Redmond Shannon reports, with possible implications for the war in Ukraine and European unity, the divisive vote is being called Poland's most important in decades.
