hello and welcome to the program. i'm getting you navigate of celebrations among diplomats on the officials after the united nations security council on friday. finally passed a motion to allow more aid into gaza, but that mood wasn't shared and the strip, israel's attacks have continued raining down. western supply bonds on an area where many if it's 2300000 people don't have the food or water, they need to survive. the war pursued by israel's far right government has killed more than 20000 palestinians and just over 2 months, more than 50 thousands have been made or injured. and nearly all guys as population has been forced to move. so what does the un resolution for more a mean in reality, and what is the reality of those in gaza today? both it's people and those trying to help them. we'll be asking our guests this
3:32 am
more in a few moments. the 1st, this reports from him consumed sharif. so for this chapter, your organization no means via precision won't be enough to feed for people chewing up here. in russell, the city in southern bell. so tens of thousands of displays, palestinians depend on food handouts. the wait for us to get a single near to los today and the other honestly, people situation is very, very difficult. we are heading towards a very severe farm on may god protect us. so the people do not die of hunger. but not every one is lucky in the city housing, most of gauze as 1900000 display speed, food, water, and shanta. aha to come by is wells continues as strikes and is expanding. gronvold patients have isolated the strip and stuff. its businesses. stores have no stocks and people have died of work,
3:33 am
no money to buy basic goods. they depend on humanitarian a, but only a trickle is getting in. we stand in a long queue for about 2 hours or an hour and sometimes we don't get any foods. and sometimes we do the check. he says it's feeding about $10000.00 people each day. what stokes of running out about then we suffer from food shortages. there is no food lentils are out of stock as well as peas, beans and bulger, wheat all the foods have brought out at the market. people need food, water medicine, but none is available. everything is cut off. perhaps. today is the last day we can provide food for the people you and agencies are wanting to for the risk of widespread simon. more than half a 1000000 palestinians a quarter of cause us population face would expose classify as catastrophic levels of tongue. does that do both, we are fed up. this is not a lice, us west, such
3:34 am
a will has never happened before. now there's really hung of my children are dying of hunger. age coming from roughly i devoted with egypt is subject to is really inspection. in other crossing point with is what has just been approved. whatever can into gaza is restricted by is when the delivery held up by border checks is rarely bombardment has destroyed much of its infrastructure, making the delivery of fade a logistical nightmare. the un secretary general blaine's, as well as relentless bowman for preventing humanitarian aid from entering the seas for the real problem is that the what use ratio is conducting visual fantasies is creating massive ops that goes to the distribution of humanitarian. they've eaten side, gaza. i urge this value of study these 2 list restrictions on commercial activity
3:35 am
immediately in casa people in hospitals, which is some of the most desperate scenes, most of bally operating with no fuel power medicine. and even deltas is this while continues its attacks and medical specialties across the test to extensions. so you and security council resolution post on friday is meant to scale up the delta v, a fade relief for diplomats and officials in new york. the coming weeks will tell, but it brings any respite for palestinians and the consumption. he's fine side story. okay, that's our bring in our guest. joining us from con eunice in gaza is the residents month sort of shoreline from her mind we have a smart beta. i'm who's the regional media and communications advisor at the norwegian refugee council. joining us from vienna is lex attacking berg, who is a senior advisor with the error of renaissance for democracy and development. and
3:36 am
he was also the former chief of ethics. that's the owner. i thank you for joining us. thanks for your time. month saud. from garza since the resolution which calls on parties to the conflict, to allow and facilitate the flow humanitarian a 2 guys out through land, sea and air roots. tell us what you're seeing on the ground. has there been a scale up of humanitarian? 8? hello everyone. thank you for having me. i think it's too early to tell. let's, let's observe what happens here inside the slip over the next 3 to 4 days. and see what kind of um and fox about this, what you should have on the grounds here. um caught on see if the issue is that there is a lack of security that i could safety in all of us that i am calling to see here in loss of hospice. and i've been here for the last 70 days, together with 30000 other strategies in one maybe can complex. and until now i
3:37 am
have only seen come to lots of hospitals, which is the biggest operating hospitality here in, but i just put it after the instructional. i she fell out on the 28th trucks and once you talk, that's it. so i think that we need to much, much more when it comes to go to by the age and provides. you can, you can talk because i'm to supplies in order to ensure that the lives of 2300000. so this means that it is continues to be so stable months. so i hear what you're saying about observing over the next few days. the impact that that resolution may or may not have, but one of the points mentioned that it was the opening of cut them will sign and that border crossing that is crucial. are you hearing at all whether that border crossing has been opened? i haven't seen any of any is. busy nation or that specially it's might have been however, once we did get about was 2 days ago, the idea of, uh
3:38 am
h with an s like 3 of the people in both part of the, the pin was a bunch of page about i caught them, i was tired of and killed all the fuel or for the air. i own staples, have any information on best buy. okay. we will be following up on that in the next few days, but just one more would you mind. so before i bring in my other guests, look the is really ambassador to the un. i said that this resolution is unnecessary and its disconnected from reality. and according to him, israel is already allowing a deliveries at the required scale. now clearly what you're saying is, that's not what's happening in gaza, but tell us how much aids is actually entering on a daily basis. what do you know about this? so we know that the less than $5000.00 of instead of been to as a split up. so if this thoughtful response next, well you are talking about over the last 75 days. um you know,
3:39 am
the less than less than the 17. so actually the more money it allows us to do a non walk times gets at least $500.00 the trucks of imports inside. however, this is not when uh over 80 percent of what the nation is, this these uh thousands injects and uh, and many in need of the edge and medical supplies. and uh, and see what supplies for different you would have an existing quote to you still on here. um, i think it's more of a ppo stands on the behalf of the is there any is what's happened saturday out on the border? even the cox that came in a lot of them after being satisfied is that it is what emptied me to seek towards the product. so supplies, many of the supplies that we received after we took it by this really is had expired schools, products. many of them had things we don't need. my mouse blogs admitted for our depths. okay, months, so thank you for the time being lex talking burke,
3:40 am
thanks for your patience. let me bring you in here. look at speaking of for the fast, the resolution that was passed that the security council also states. it says rather that states that are not party to the conflicts are welcome to permit free passage of humanitarian relief. now this particularly refers to egypt and on the border crossing from your experience. how does that work on the fast side? does everything have to be coordinated with the is released absolutely. the, there was quite a discussion in the lead up to the latest resolution about handling over control over the passing of a getting through guys out from the egyptian is really megan is in to the un which the un sort of directly having the, the ability and responsibility to coordinate the,
3:41 am
the deacon park cation all for awful gender grass. i bet was one of the reasons why the wind or passing of the resolution was the late so many times and effectively under the, under the resolution of the mechanism or why by israel maintains full control over one gets into guys out and it was pace is a is kept on change from your experience, lex, and do you think that is real well will comply with parts of the resolution this whole resolution? what do you think? i mean, the new resolution is a, is a reflection alpha often mode of the international community. and so it's one of the factors that, that i believe is around the way, a long ways. so way as pressure from the, from, from the west. uh so far we have noticed where were 70, where,
3:42 am
where 11 weeks into the war we have an abundance of pre my father, she evidence of genocide and ethnic cleansing from guys. i'm increasing the also from the west thing so far do sashon all night, or we strange israel nor and don't government. it's complex. it's and enabling it to continue is it's installed on the, on the people and guides are so things don't know from that perspective. okay, let's the from the norwegian refuge account. so uh, after my beta on, let's bring you in, look at, even if more a does go in, i mean, unless those trucks are not a, if can actually move about 1st of all, freely and then safely then, and we understand from does the, that's not possible right now, so, so what is the point of this resolution in um, bits of stuff in the right direction, however small uh,
3:43 am
new um it doesn't bring us any closer to a cx 5, which is what we all want to see alternately. and the ice per unit, see what you say. i have 50 police and in gaza they have, it won't be pushing to the small pockets and rough. huh. and we all, because operating on the, probably some of the most impossible circumstances, even by the standards or the girls are complex even by the sound of the complex zones. we with the air in, in syria and yamma and iraq, even ga. so doing complex pos complex, we were always able to move around to provide a this time we are grounded this time we have colleagues who have experienced loss in the families. how do you expect workers to, to around when, you know, showing bombardment times are in your neighborhood and it's, we're asking the impossible, here's devices to just on a brief statement to, to, to you some humans, they all actually as,
3:44 am
as we speak they are providing whatever they can help me is on that the possible world so that they can provide some protection for the full size. but you can't do that and, and, and you know, you know, the best zone, you know, and probably the largest on print out crate. so and the was the, you know, is sort of has reduced concepts. yeah, i mean you're asking the question that i was gonna ask you next friday, which is how do you actually have meaningful humanitarian assistance when the genocide continues and when the bombs continue to fall? yeah, and the answer is we hardly scratching the surface here to be frank with you. i mean, my team are now straight it's way and providing some aid on, you know, in storing times for their extended families. that's the reality of it. you have to wake up in the morning and send for yourself. and to finally my, my colleague tells me that, you know, bachelor and his children had for a full day was, was a kind of student was trying to or beans. um,
3:45 am
what else you were asking the impossible here i don't think anything short of the last thing ceasefire and i think shelters, you know, complete listing of this thing. each 16 he has on top of about 70 or a g a i 2 days now because that sort of siege, nothing else can, can you know, kinda lead to a solution here on june. how i was perform the job months or the un secretary general has said that 4 out of 5 off the hungry is people anywhere in the world are now in gaza. i mean that is a shocking shocking such a stick. give us an idea. months would off tell us what, what people have been telling you what, what you've been seeing on the ground when it comes to this issue of food and starvation, what amount of food age is entering dogs are right now if any at all it. yeah, i think this is particularly true,
3:46 am
especially in the city and the north of has the split that is hot and in use coming . but whenever we do it, we will, as we have news off people actually to going through starvation mode. i was actually sent a video of people try to make food out of the clamps uh from their own to get out from their own floyd. they don't have any games and utilize any reach. and that advice you would you change them on the ground to make any kind of food support themselves? yeah. so this one in particular to sort it has the city and the north, especially with the not all a talks and logistics on going to that off there. however, in the middle region, i mean just all right, i am voice mails which are different, but that's a but like you said, every day it's, it's, it's up. it's like a, it's like a 12 to 14 hour mandates. you know, by the heads of the families, the father is the mother's, you know, they have to go on fence for that to try to find something to feed the children.
3:47 am
they have such a big but i do sometimes just check play store. uh they have to try to get some clean water from any of the physicians units. so what besides them? so it is difficult. there is definitely a manual attrition happening here. and again, we are not seeing that these things had your, this, the, a trucks coming in. maybe it's more than last time because it's close to the border . but nothing had units, however, hopefully with this right. but it was on using a gus melody's particular again because especially with flu season coming with the winter with the cold. you forget we to each one as soon as possible. lex comments on this issue of the real lack of food and people starving and gaza. and also the un has said that the entire population of guys that faces an imminent risk of famine indeed and, and in this respect uh,
3:48 am
what is called for the on to a full assessed ation on positivity is a comprehensive ceasefire. is also uh beyond a 100 excess of international. i'll walk through my periods of slides, most of international humanitarian workers and international generally as time one of the big differences was the previous losses. that at that time, the international un colleagues were able to stay in the north of the international drimmers were there to monitor water situation and to where to report all are doing real time on own, you know, the human a terry needs and the, and the state of the assault, you know, in the whole parts of the gods district and this is today not, not possible and crucially needed. so this is also a call for, for more extra 15 minute terry, international humanitarian personality should go to their local colleagues. i lived
3:49 am
in guys a for decade and, and one important function or for having international stock there was, was providing supporting production to our, to our courageous status, the including the off months organizations like the like the ox from has warren dot starvation is being used as a weapon of war against civilians and gaza in an act of collective punishment. does the n r c share that assessment much? yes. and is realize the occupier, i'm doing some national is responsible for the security and the food security of the people. it occupies as a course as well as what pharmacies they, they do control areas. they do control gorges. so the, the crossing the crossing uh, with, with the, with gossip which is being the main point of entry for food over over these over
3:50 am
these years. so there is another other month's rent which is the destruction of agriculture labs, of green houses. we have seen these and, and rights reports the destruction of means of life freely. i mean, there's probably, we house, think of a violation that hasn't been committed. half of course, security of the people and the pseudo starvation has been used. of course, the destruction of destroying voice networks, for example, this again, against international humanitarian roles. you know, not facilitating the entry of sewage to people who are increased risk of salvation . that's again, that's one more violation. of course, even businesses and shops and supermarkets that have been that, that have been had to and you know, the strawberry fields on the field started, you know, used to 5th street holidays and businesses on small businesses. there's, there's hardly, you know, any violation you can think of that, you know,
3:51 am
has not been, has not been committed hand. and, you know, when we talk about just a point to you about a truck stop. com and you guys, are we talking about 10200 families? now these trucks are actual food or water. oh, you know, um, kinda kind of system is that people need some other material shelter. suppose on the medication. uh, so when, when, when we have a 100 trucks coming in, i mean the get out can, is hardly enough for, for labor 100 need for a street corner for a show. so, and that's why we have the saying that these go is with the forcible transfer. if the people are presidents in gaza, all of this together constitutes a brain fart relation of international. so just on the point of my on you're saying that the origin refugee council says that starvation is being used as a weapon of war. having made that assessment and that declaration,
3:52 am
what kind of organizations like yours do about it? we don't want to speak how to be honest. i originally impressed a pressure allies of israel in the and the west internationally and asked curious counsel to 1st from orange to push from what do you measure. and i was the same time pushing for a cease fire, roughly saying this alone you taught use also showed electricity, your action even enter net which, which is, you know, we, we, we also see examples of star and cumulative connectivity in dollars, which is just just terroristic, for people to be able not to be able to check and you know, speak to the phone is on the, you know, someone is alive. all right, one of those together, without a pressure, we don't to national community pressuring is where we're not gonna have a solution to this assignment from guys a, um, i just like to talk about the issue of pregnant women for a moment, because look, there are lots of some vulnerable groups and guys of course, right now, i mean the entire population is vulnerable,
3:53 am
but we're hearing stories of pregnant women who are a particular risk because and baby formula cannot be found. and milk of course, isn't severe short supply for toddlers. we're relying on it, you speak to us from an offset hospital. how are these women coping and their children? and i'm located in a 10th right adjacent to the man to admit you was here in the hospital. the wall i'm touching is the most him, but your house is dozens of women in may but and, and, and babies will have been delivered and 5 days ago. and is there any time spiked store? it's it's like the 3rd floor of this mess here that your heading one female. i'm in getting those off the women in they bought a new born baby. it didn't kennimore because that bump didn't explode. and i'm fine goals such as a lot in the china to work here. i'm the number one thing that is needed. there's things that i need to to high g and things related to me before was for me to. so
3:54 am
you are like, there is a lot of really force for me that there is a lack of diapers there is that i call them me tabs and the jobs and, and the only solution for that since there is nobody talked sitting with us. it's important just because it's on the outside, so hopefully destroying the condition. when i know more babies form the motion for women, but it can needs to come in as soon as possible. i'm trying to support the city and population here on the grounds. likes it looks as we're discussing. i mean the needs are so immense and so huge. if there is another humanitarian pause accord or, or, or, you know, these sort declared safe stones that turns out, are not safe. and garza, the needs are so huge. are these momentary pauses enough to be able to supply the people of gaza with everything that they need to? absolutely, no, i mean in the face of, as i, as i mentioned already, the,
3:55 am
the abundance of pretty much the evidence of atrocity crimes. i mean, what is called for is a complete this ation off of standards. so that indeed the un things sort of properly the better ways. it's showing it during parker center, c n r c, and many others exercise weeks is responsibility. and i'm reach, reach people at all parts of the officer street as long as these decimals happen. and as an international lawyer, i believe it is beyond just continuing diplomatic and political pressure going from grassroots. i believe it is critical to use to, to now make use of all available legal avenues to hold those perpetrating all implicit in the commission on rec, drawing you o'clock, i'll call legal avenues. what are you referring to here? yeah. what i'm referring to, i mean there is an ongoing investigation by the icbc were aware of that and,
3:56 am
and further submissions store the items. the impression on the i c prosecutor coming along is, is critical. then there is also the opportunity offered by the genocide convention for the 4 stage to engage the international court of justice, including intentions. we've been urgent requests for professional measures. uh the 100. why? the why this thing that we're still having to see the states invoke about genocide convention yet likes. well, one of the main reasons is i think the almost a, a share of taking on israel and to, and, and by extension d. d. d, us and, and you're there 153 states party to the general cycled emission. they're roughly the same stage that support at the recent general assembly resolution. but uh, but, but booking, you know, expressing, expressing a strong do, you know, tradition,
3:57 am
each one taking legal action and in a court of law. and especially in the world court is, is, and you know, what critical is quite the trust holds, and yet in, in phase of to bring my flashing, you know, evidence that we're seeing is critical. that's, you know, one whole more of the, of the $160.00 sweepstakes parties step up to do this pressure and, and uh and uh, and do the rightsignature, myanmar b as a, as company id in, in the diesel file for me. i'm are with respect to the james side against the drawings. and finally, there is also a mil to mil, to chew off avenues from national court. quite a, quite a few have already be partial to us in the netherlands and u. k. in scandinavia, but much more can be done and there is a lot of collaboration between the lawyers around the world and, and right and, and supported by about us the human rights organization. and this is really,
3:58 am
really critical at the, at the present time. only have folks that accountability can bring, you know, restrained by, by default the and those companies sent in, in, in the ongoing general trying. okay. we'll have to leave it there on that. no, thank you so much for joining us gentlemen. i'm sort of strong mind. thank you for joining us from laza as my bait onto my mind and lex talking berg. thank you for joining us from vienna. thanks for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website. i'll just 0. com for further discussion and go to our face . so it's page dots. facebook dot com forward slash a j inside story from the conversation on x or handle is a j inside story. so myself whole team here and thanks for watching. bye bye. for now, the injustice for me is the driving force of why i do this to show people what it's
3:59 am
like to live in places where injustice isn't something you read in. the news is something that happens to every single day. whether it's a war, a natural disaster, whether it's political corruption, making sure they understand. and this simple language is absolutely crucial. the cities already 50 percent evacuated, most of those people actually left in the early days at the will. i couldn't do this job without the best cumberland, best produces the best fixes, and those of the people, the i rely on in order to be able to get that message out to the world. it is a tenant object to produce objectives these coverage of many parts of is really media are effectively engaging in propaganda or genocide. what these really military was telling us does not fit in with what evidence they have so far. and yet, on the fringes of this ready public, this course,
4:00 am
anti war voices present cell calling, the traitors, the listening close covers how the news is come to watch this space for where the story goes. next, the for at least 70 palestinians have been killed in central garza often overnight is really a strike targets homes in the most has the refugee can. the alarm has them seek of this is as you see that live from the also coming up.
