hospital floor to the families huddled in the cona, still covered in dust. and the latest explosion, vanessa hospital in hon. eunice, is running out of space to treat the many injured people who are constantly arriving. and rather the situation is catastrophic. in all senses of the word, the lack of medical equipment and resources means we tend to treat people of this site is rails minute trio operation in and around goals. the 2nd largest city has intensified in recent days. and the number of palestinians killed and injured continues to rise thousands and now fleeting, con eunice to seek shelter even for the south. but safety seems unreachable now. here in the southern city of rough uh on the egyptian buddha,

recent arrivals were among those kills by a recent his radio strike. besides you and the for says, service of the house was targeted by 3 rockets and they targeted women and children . good, as you can see, this is kind of displaced, palestinians who were told the science would be safe. besides the supposed to be safe. i guess that's where it displays from come. i developed to rough enough where it is supposed to be sites with them and they were all killed. as israel focuses the new phase of its military operation on southern garza, the search for shelter from the conflict becomes honda every day. while these really ami says it's goal is the destruction of how much it adds that it's specifically hunting. the leaders of the militant organization handiness is not only a minutes on stronghold, but also the hometown of a massive chief in gaza. yes, yes, and why he hasn't been seen in public since the beginning of the war,

and israel believes he's hiding somewhere in the city. the big thoughts of the civil also seemed wise in the area of hon units. you have tara infrastructure and come on centers that in. well, the same was not above ground. he's on the ground. no, i don't want to elaborate where and how and what we know in terms of intelligence, this is not the place to talk about such things in the media. all job is to find seen well and killed him at the seen a lot below. go to, as you heard people and guys finding it almost impossible to locate a truly safe place to live, i meant the conflict. access to food was a and medical help have been limited by the slow trickle of humanitarian aid. the u . n's emergency relief coordinator says the lack of safe areas as obstructed a plans. we do not have your monetary operation in southern gaza that can be cooled by that name anymore.

that the pace of the military assault in southern gaza is a repeat of the assault in northern guns that it has made no play safe for civilians in southern gaza, which has been the cornerstone of the humanitarian plan to protect civilians. and thus to provide a to them but without places to safety, that kind of as intact as the earlier dw spoke to martin, i'm here on, she's a military analyst and research fellow at kings college london's war studies department. and we asked her about the whereabouts of yes, yes, in law and the legality of killing him instead of capturing him if he's found it is difficult to say because there are quite several people that the idea softer and the israel intelligence is trying to locate them. and obviously you will know that a company, eunice is

a how much stronghold so perhaps um they are targeting also other is not just the idea of cinemark. but there is also a possibility that even if it is sort of our home that he is not waiting there for the idea of he could have escaped through egypt because for him us, it would be important to keep so key leaders, the military leaders, a lot a life and, and also one being mohammed died for instance, who is a wanted man and these rel, as well, the debate about the legality of so called targeted killing. and it has been going on for many years now and send war and mohammed died. they both have been designated as tourist, for instance, by the united states, and say, normally you would expect them to be found. but this is a little bit like in the case of a sudden i've been martin as well that you know, if you are identified him,

then you have the allowance to strike him to strike him dad. and so it's a complicated legal matter because they are considered as terrorist. they can be targeted indeed or no. so us says it'll conduct joined military flight drills and diana as tensions rise. we've neighboring venezuela over territorial claims. washington says the exercises are routine but reiterated what it called it's unwavering support for gay annas sovereignty venezuela has described the drills as prompt as a provocation. last weekend, it held a referendum aimed at reassigning its territorial claim to the oil rich as a cable region. speaking at the macro, so summit of south american nations resilient president, louise, you nice to let us silver expressed his concern about the deepening dispute result . she has a border with both venezuela and today on

the severe political and economic crisis in his country. and this could be a tactical of course. some analyst also seems that he might declare a state of emergency over this whole issue just so that he can postpone the elections. but at the same time i do to is also made clear that you already considered as this region part of industry. like he's drawn up actually a new official medical vendors, really including this region. and he has called on national companies to start drilling and extracting already. and if you went it that way, i think this would quite escalate everything. we have the brazilian military in the region. we have to us who's paying a lot of intention of right now. and at the same time, this comes as us is actually softening the sanctions of venezuela. so this would be quite a difficult situation for the country itself and it could quite turn around on them in the end as well. dw latin america correspond to nicole with that. but let's take a look at some more world news headlines. media, and as the by john have announced they are working on normalizing relations. this

q we're p and market. i mean china, us economy, it's very um, export driven and basically the european consumer is keeping the chinese engine walking. so they have a high interest in keeping that with going up and more on a political level. um, they also don't want brussels to move closer to what's watching in the ice of aging in the us government is trying to contain the economic rise of china by, you know, um, implementing a tech um a sanctions export controls, etc. and you know, seating thing does one, you're up to follow the way of the us and i think when you talk to them and see europe and diplomats and whenever they have talks with chinese culture pods, they are very you know, a curious about what do you mean by the risk in your economy, they have really a freight that he risking in the end could mean some form of the company. hanukkah,
