>>> Iranian president ebrahim raisi has been laid to rest. Raisi's body was taken for a last ceremony before being buried in his hometown. Thousands held placards and waved flags marching in the streets to bid the president farewell. The 63-year-old died alongside hess foreign minister and six others when their helicopter crashed earlier this week. A warning to viewers that some of the footage in this next story is disturbing. The families of several israeli hostages taken by hamas october 7th have released new video in an effort to pressure the government to reach a deal to release their loved ones. This comes as united nations says new aid is finally reaching gaza. Raf sanchez has the latest from tel aviv. >> Reporter: israel today in a state of shock after the release of that video from october 7th showing seven female soldiers being taken captive by hamas, the video very difficult to watch. You see hamas gunmen threatening to kill these women, in some cases leering at them. They are bloodied, they are bruised, they are clearly terrified and at the end of the video, you see them being taken into a stolen army jeep and abducted into gaza. Now, of those seven soldiers, one was rescued in the early weeks of the war, one was found dead in northern gaza, the other five, as far as we know, remain in hamas captivity and protesters were back on the streets here in tel aviv last night demanding that their government do more to get to a deal to bring those hostages home, 230 days after they were taken. Now, cease-fire negotiations appear effectively stalemated, but in a small sliver of good news, the white house says that food is now reaching palestinian civilians in northern gaza after rolling off of a temporary pier built by the U.S. military. That pier a couple of miles off the coast of gaza and it is bringing humanitarian aid in by sea. Raf sanchez, nbc news, tel aviv. >> At least nine people are dead and dozens of others injured after a strong gust of wind toppled a stage at a campaign rally in mexico. The state's governor confirmed the strategy and said a child is amongst the dead. The collapse happened during an an event attentioned by a presidential long shot candidate. State and municipal elections are june the 2nd.

Officials say in this community, at least four people were killed when a tornado ripped through here on tuesday. Take a look at the aftermath here. These chunks of buildings effectively piled on top of each other across these lawns, and those structures are actually more intact than some of the others in this community. Just across the block, you can see piles of rubble covered in tree limbs and tree branches. This is the aftermath of that twister. Officials say, again, at least four people were killed, more than 30 people were injured. Now the cleanup is ongoing here at a time that is also filled with grief.
