9:30 am
celebrated the natural world and stages of the year. now his music has been recompose by alteration intelligence using projected 2050 weather data to reflect the global climate emergency. culminating in a disturbing like performance in south korea. this nokia or of so on al jazeera, rasa in southern goals are the last refuge, but 1500000 palestinians sheltering in fear of it is really ground invasion for us and european allies of all opposed. so with israel push ahead regardless what will be the consequences, this is inside store. the
9:31 am
other again on james bay's rally is that unity among israel's opponents and allies . but that's the case regarding opposition to prime minister benjamin netanyahu has plans to invite the city of ruffled in casa, often more than 6 months, a brutal 1500000 people are living in dog conditions at the southern end of the strip. most of being force that by is really a tax which continue on what's meant to be a place of refuge despite world wide opposition from israel's allies. its opponents . i'm the united nations. nothing. yahoo says the bible times for a major ground defensive and roughly, i have been drawing up with a date to already set. so will he go ahead? what will be the political implications of israel going against the advice of the us? it's main baccha and supplier of weapons and for the palestinians, could this be the worst scenario? yes. looming catastrophe. after a catalogue of horror, we'll discuss all of this with our panel of guests in a moment. but 1st, this report from sent him on the most of causes population is crammed. is the
9:32 am
southern city over off. they live under constant is really bombardment. the latest ways of attacks of killed dozens of people. but as these really army prepares for a major ground defensive, many fear things are about to get a lot worse. hold onto the model we are definitely terrified to a for so he isn't afraid is like, so is nowhere for us to go type in the i need since we are scared, if an invasion takes place and dropped off, where can we go? we are more than 20 people. i really dream about going back to my home. i wish i can go back to my apartment even if it is rubble. now. he's really prime minister benjamin netanyahu says, an attack on or off is essential to achieve his war, aim of destroying, come off. he says nothing will prevent it from going ahead. and we will complete the elimination of the mosque battalions, including in rough up there is no force in the well, that will stop us. but the 1500000 displace palestinians are taking refuge there.
9:33 am
they have nowhere else to go and the u. n is warning that a ground is sold would result in major civilian casualties. a grounds the intervention in gaza. the, in the rough uh, with the, the categories sticks as we all know would be a humanitarian catastrophe. and so i believe this is time to make sure that's what we have been saying since the beginning you many thaddeus ceasefire takes place even the us israel storms just ally has urgent not to go ahead with the offensive. in the 1st instance, it's imperative that people are able to get out of the way of a very conflict. and doing that, getting people out of harm's way, is a monumental task for which we get to see a plan and not only getting them out of harm's way, making sure that they can be supported with matters transit systems. these really government finalized his plans in march,
9:34 am
but still hasn't ordered the attack. in the meantime, the bombing continues and all the people of rasa can do is wait and hope to survive . defense and bought an owl to 0 for inside story. well now let's discuss this with, i guess today, clued to a fil, isn't that a ball out in central garza, she's an economic justice officer at ox. families specializes in supporting women that businesses and youth entrepreneurship in durham in the u. k. robot guys to pin fold. electra and peace and security at durham universities. research focuses on his riley for an and security policy on his should my honda is actually in the city of rafa. he's the spokesman in gaza for the international committee of the red cross. glad to have you all with us. so let me start with you issue. i'm you of the in rafa and your organization is the guardians of the rules of all the the, the geneva convention. so tell me,
9:35 am
what does international humanitarian law say about the possibility of a large scale military offensive in a place that so packed with people. hello, james, and thank you for having me. there was a, for a big, clear civilian lives and infrastructure must be protective. no matter what happens from what we have been witnessing and rough off with the large waves of displacement that have been ongoing for months. and many families have been on the move and been displaced for an average of 5 times for families. now, they faced the evidence of the reality of i'm going to have a patient or a rough idea to see or see the dimensions of the medium, the risk process. once it's announced the community and parties of the confidence that any possible scenario of a mess of material ration and blah blah, given the situation of the densely populated areas here to be nothing but carnage.
9:36 am
and just to be clear as far as what is the noise that we're hearing above you, i'm assuming that's a drone. that is, commission is uh, what's people in the different areas across the accounts to serve here? most of the day clued. tell us more about the, the life of ordinary people in rafa and elsewhere in gaza. you represent aux time, but i know you are a mother of a young child yourself. how difficult is things right now uh, thank you for hosting me today. um for this program, and thank you for all giving attention to go because i should always be on cause of the situation is really easy for us to think. the human story and situation is still very difficult. no, not entered garza despise the international and cold from the organizations and a human trailer getting station. just kill
9:37 am
a detrimental regardless telling the situation is ready to best teaching. everyone here is a free all of any expected minutes repression and dropbox because this for sure. with the, the, his mentor and situation in a more difficult situation. dropbox is very crowded up to the dns, real quick is reading, call the to 10. so mix shifts counts where people are trying to find safe, schultz or there. so any military offensive on the part where it really makes things more difficult, we don't expect to to have, and we'll, uh, actually, but tuition of the video from uh, from blah, blah, blah. we really expect that to the human stories. situation will get more difficult because we aspect of the cultural border and we only have one line of it, which is because the border and despite this, does intern go as well,
9:38 am
is not, you know, it's not at all to respond to the needs of those internally displaced people abuse and see what didn't go strip a for sure, as a mom of the, my person that lives in it's really hard when you're going to be your default, any aspect of military operations in any area. and that's one of the, the why, but also a mental area or in the area and the gillhouse rep it's oh is put us in a situation where we cannot really find any to see anywhere. roberts, is it a case of if there is a rough uh, offensive or when there is a rough or offensive? because prime minister netanyahu still talking about total victory. he says the date is already been set, although he hasn't told us what it is, of course. well, this is the question and everyone's minds. netanyahu self has been talking about the ref, referencing for a very, very long time now. and nothing is materialized had you asked me this week and a half or 2 weeks ago. i would have said to you that this is
9:39 am
a basically up it off the net and you all he was trying to use as a tool, as leverage and the tools in concepts to try and basically reach an agreement with him. us that will see the return of hostages and some kind of a temporary or last ip ceasefire now and the exchange between israel and the run and it to play subsequently is a game changer and leaves. the said i question, why? well, because nothing yahoos, retaliation is rose, retaliation against the radio talk and was relative the light to basically one of the craft and defense system was destroyed from what we can tell us. i'm false. and that was basically and it didn't reach a threshold to isolate is ralph, who is international partners who'd be arguing against the escalation. the problem that's in yahoo, that has is an internal one. having a piece of his instructional partners, he is annoyed to follow right. members of his coalition on whom he is relied for his device, you have national security minister, it's them all bank vail tweeting on x very soon after you type one would loosely
9:40 am
translates to we called a static and hebrew. so let's and yahoo is now under pressure to demonstrate this whole case credentials and to appease his coalition allies. so i think the danger raska offensive is now more substantial. then we've had for a very long time in the previous weeks. it showed me your organization, the i, c, r c. we mentioned how it governs the laws of war, but it's also a humanitarian organization. what would it mean if an offensive was carried out in rafa given that this is i believe, a normally about $270000.00 people and now they're all about one point. $5000000.00 and the price is completely swelled. tell us a bit about the humanitarian situation on the grounds. if i can add a 2nd part to my question, rafa is very limited. aid coming into gaza, but he's one of the entry points faith that makes it even worse. doesn't that? the yes,
9:41 am
absolutely. now considering that there is approximately $1300000.00 people living on 20 percent only of the total spaces, the gaza strip, totally disconnected from the, the basic services. and for example, uh, $900.00 people have only access to one that's been and an average person has up a has access to only 3 liters of water per day. 2 of them are most suitable for human consumption. this is a basic examples of how people suffer under in human conditions as a result of the ongoing complex. now, there are several challenges that are facing human italian workers, including the national committee through its process, which is the lack of our absence of security guarantees that are crucial and necessary for achieving meaningful. you're going to kind of response from the ground despite old that we are trying to maximize that. we're going to tell you that response. however, this will not change the reality on the ground as long as there are still a t, as in the ground and the and the are not these uh any time soon. the situation
9:42 am
worse is by the clock, by the court, by, by, by the hour and uh, there is already unlimited space 40 minute time workers to work. now, if things escalate for the drop off crossing this space will spring or making any possible human incentive response. definitely meaningless on the ground . we are trying to as hard as possible, but this is not an environment. a document attorney is kind of word. keep that up. i. i'm going to move on actually and also include a follow up question now. um, if that was a rough or offensive, where would the people go? actually nowhere. and the, this is the big, the question that we hear every day from any male living it goes on like of during, is any offensive operations manager, reparation the, any area i'm together strep, where to go? i'm actually people have no place to give each one of those golfing people.
9:43 am
actually it's a case has to be displaced for at least one or 2 times and through the sports. and so this moment we don't have like 5th shoulders to host those. i to be in the governance structure. there is a need and expect to defensive mandatory operation involves people will fight nowhere to go. and this is just like hulu to well, is there a possibility? is there a possibility, collude with childhood? some say that people might be forced out of the gaza strip is that's a possibility. we have been hearing about this since the beginning of the war, but what i think is the people in guns i will not actually find this solution is really good for them. to leave the people here, how to lift their houses in the gather in garza until this moment. they wait every
9:44 am
day in order to listen about any news or to earn about any up to send in a solution that are being done and confident in egypt turned on every word in order to hear about the possibility to return to their houses, leaving gods of course it is not easy for those people actually. and if we talk about being on the edge of the causal strip and this is the southern point of the, the gaza strip. roberts, it's on the edge of egyptian territory. what i know because egypt remains a country with a peace treaty with this route, what do you think egypt is making of the prospect of this offensive? well, egypt is very much, he gains this offensive taking place. and this is exactly why as a bite and ministration is not accepting so much pressure because they getting pressure from the partners in the world. countries like egypt and saudi arabia. and those is effect to pressure is route to reach us these by as soon as possible,
9:45 am
the egypt, as you say, there is a border, an issue here as well as egypt explicitly has rolled out the reset thing of palestinians. refugees within the sun, i've been anxious to add. instead there's been all sorts of talk about israel, for example, trying to reset with them elsewhere. but this is a key point to friction between the buy him is ration these ready to goldman is real maintains, from what we've heard from leaks the recycling or the 1.5 and give or take siblings within wrap up, we'll take them around 4 weeks. the us disagrees vehemently and think this will take around 4 months and actually doing something like what is real? proposes this mass, a very rapid receptive and to avoid humanitarian crisis. we're actually only making a few minutes airing process more lightly and significantly worse because we will removing people without infrastructure, without planning, you'll be moving them at a very, very, very own planned way. and as some of my colleagues here were mentioned, these to people who've been rooted on multiple occasions. so all of that was race,
9:46 am
the fireman and disease would actually be exacerbated by a rock bid on the front of the occupation. so pickup on that point, if you kind of issue, i mean, legally on the international humanitarian law, is there a way israel could do this or does it amount to force displacement, which is in itself international illegal on the international. i totally understand stability parts of the account to ensure the protection of the videos and they have absolutely access to everything necessary for survival, including health care in terms of displacement. beeping must be sure that they can be moved safe people in one area to another that families, one company cannot or does not get separated from their beloved ones. and it has to
9:47 am
be time the bound that'd be cannot be displaced, where it's no more important than ever that international community must be the more responsibilities to it's. there's more pressure to put this lots here to an end. and uh, there's no way that people in golf that can continue living like this. it has been almost $200.00 days now. and they have been through a lot clued. we've got lots of comments from members of the international community who are telling israel not to carry out to rafa operation. the un secretary general set an operation in rafa would compound the humanitarian catastrophe. the us secretary state tony blinking said that would be terrible consequences for civilians. how seriously to people that and gaza take these comments from these international figures when the war now is coming out to a 7th month and yeah, so you've got the us warning of this. but at the same time, the us giving $26000000000.00 in the last few days to israel. the
9:48 am
people peopling does actually. so the listening to the other to, to the ext are the rules declarations say and call my his phone, social media. i don't see any except administrative phrase. it is because well, do the really so far, is that a t v p and that is the best printing human story and situation and for us to talk sure is thomas, how says both things. it's dominant. are thomas no access to clean war to try know access to the last 4 to be used new access to enough to do the has says to me is relative clause. so people are living in tennis? no, we are in summer. so people are our, our be for the actually, it's time those to so people are, it only seem king of how the reality about what they are suffering from detroit to,
9:49 am
to hear something used between of times and the other another. but the actual dispute, they actually see, or i mean that's booked administrative gratian because as you have mentioned, they don't have a place to go, they have no work. there is no safe shelters in casa, can you for them, or even any place, no place in casa is said, because people have really experienced this web page displaced from one place to another place. us robots, we, we've heard tough woods from the bite and administration before towards the ness and yahoo government and nothing. yahoo really hasn't listened on many occasions, but it is west noting there was another development in the last few hours. it looks like the us that could just state and t blinking is going to sanction under what's known as the lease. he knows one particular unit of the is riley miller tray. do you think that will get israel is attention is not related to the,
9:50 am
to the possibility of offensive and wrap up, but do you think it could become linked and yeah, just to give some context. the view is what we're talking about here is the next talking you who to battalion. now this was a pioneering tale and set so far the idea of leadership because it's specifically 6 to integrate and strictly both adults ultra orthodox is released into the army. many of whom wouldn't normally serve in the military, so it's a strictly religious unit. now the problem here is that this unit has been subject to a significant i'm building obligations of human rights abuses long before the current military campaign, including the death of a 1778 year old, outstanding american in 2022 who was basically an adult. and by the group i'm left to die at so these right government will say, look, there's no truth these obligations. but we do know that that battalion was moved out of the west bank. add on to the quite to get around heights border as whether
9:51 am
there's a connection that is very much an open question, but it is now 5 to the in the goals and strengthens paul's, the military operations at the moment. will this effect as well as military behavior? it's campaign. no, we're talking about 1000 people here. this is not a significant assign shift, but israel leaders are indeed incense by this. they all us this been end of a way and who knows what is opens up and it is indeed a new press. and so on the one hand you have the volume is basically trying to use carrot and sticky. on the one hand, you have that $26000000000.00 aid package at that was used to support these for on the show us support for as well. on the other hand, you have new precedence like the sanctioning amendments of the all idea. so is this or not can itself, that will be a game changing? nobody's at the start of increased us public pressure against israel. i don't. yes . sure. i'm let me take you back to where you are. where are we talking about that over crowded city of rafa. now one of the things we've seen in over 6 months is the
9:52 am
collapse of the medical system across the gaza strip. and we saw that hospitals were, are deliberately targeted by israel. i'll shift in garza city, not so hospital and con eunice the most well known, but so many hospitals targeted. how worried all you about the hospitals where you are in rafa. if they work just to, to, to face this, the same thing because they seem to be among the many functioning medical facilities and the whole goal is to strip. now, if an ice committee, if the red cross have warrant, says be star in the early stage of this conflict about impacting the health care system in gaza, which has been heavily impacted by 16 years long restrictions on the move with the people and after hospitals have come to rubbish, following the military operations conducted inside of random. it leaves only not that the entire health care system in gases now is the last. and there's only one
9:53 am
thing that is capable of providing advanced filter service. and that is be gone. so you repeat and you've got the eunice where a surgical team i see are see doctors, nurses and surgeons work since last november and deliver or perform an average of once the urgency needed surgeries and databases, the oxy or c, it's that it's most of priority to keep providing support what this left from a healthcare specific goals district. but there is no health entity can, can absorb the influx of patients either in rough or or 10 units. and if the scenario of the military operations conducted hospitals have been reading on. but those have been working non stop for 6 months in town and health care system, gals, or whatever is left of it is on the seas. doctors themselves and medical staff have either been killed, detained, or lost, a dear friend or, or something that is
9:54 am
a valuable to in their lives. yet they continue to work. however, they cannot continue working like this for every i mean, collude. let me show of you as somebody with i think demonstrates this. these are pictures of a young baby in the rafa. the baby was saved from the womb of her mother who was dying from head injuries and an emergency since air infection that was performed in a rough uh uh, the woman died that says did her husband as did that 3 year old other daughter um it just shows the a pulling situation facing women and children and gaza. does it no said, shocking statistic. i saw some unicef every 10 minutes. one child is killed or injured in casa a we have a, we have actually many of the old folks to try. she just told us and, and we get on the trip. i'm. oh, is it like in like any cold fix around the was living the children old was the,
9:55 am
the high surprise. i'm doing this for a very big number of women and children were killed actually with no uh, actually with no limited of change for a recipe thing for children all the time. they are expressed to the or the danger they are the or the, the child's whenever they hear any pumping or shelling around them for my comfortable all the time. i'm trying to keep him calm, trying to convince him that there is nothing risky around us. but the reality is that our children didn't actually crow up in an environment like big children needs to grow up in the pro attractive environment safety environment. and that's totally oh baby, actually. and, and dropbox is one of many of his, till we have had him together strep to chewing this escalation. and it's, it's,
9:56 am
it's well, 3, any charge a d, t, and that's how long it's poured out of there. and it's really difficult to see. and to think of how, how will the future of these k, p will be without his mother or his father. so claims, and with this really charging the story, staying with you, conclude and not as a official from aux spam, but as a mazda, what would be your message to leaders around the world who have power here? what would be your message to the, to the is riley leaders at this moment as they contemplate a full on offensive into rafa. mine that my message is rainy uh, of having any military operation in the hall with will actually put civilians integrated debilitating situation. the civilians should be protected. that's
9:57 am
