Jason Straziuso, the global media chief for the International Committee of the Red Cross, and Richard Engel join Andrea Mitchell to discuss the hostages and the status of aid as it enters the war zone. “I don't have a breakdown of who is holding whom,” Straziuso tells Andrea. “We are in direct contact with anyone who we think might be holding hostages who might have influence to be able to improve their situation, whether it's in person visits, deliveries of medication or releases directly.”
