7:04 pm
a very tricky position right now. they want to appear steadfast. they want to appear strong and they want to also show and the world which as was just mentioned is becoming increasingly impatient with this were especially because of the mounting civilian death tool. on the other hand, the government cannot ignore the anger on the streets here in israel, the families of the remaining hostages. and it's here in israel, it's not, you know, this is not really something that only affects the families of the hostages and defects the entire society. because of the intensity of the october 7, terre haute attacks, it's something that touches everyone in society. so there's a real sort of public anger at what happened 2 days ago with the 3 hostages, but also anger from before. and so to try and walk that delicate, a tight rope, if you will. the problem is mr. has on the one hand reiterated what he said before this war is an exist central war for israel,
7:05 pm
and that it has to continue at any cost. and no matter what the pressure is, he's obviously, you know, sort of indirectly responding to the mounting, international pressure. and the fear that is real might really become even more isolated on the international stage. on the other hand, he has sort of hinted that the door to negotiation has not closed yet. so it really is a delicate balance. gerhard and one that the government is now trying to sort of navigate, but it's really, really difficult. the angle here really after 70 days is, is, is unlike anything we've seen before the, the special correspondent abraham. the thank you very much. i. it is also as it has uncovered the biggest thomas tunnel and the gaza strip. so from just a few 100 meters, from the arrest border crossing, which almost overran and the october 7th cho tax is what it says. it is found a launch number of weapons stores and that's tunnel. according to the army, it is part of
7:06 pm
a why the tunnel network that stretches for more than 4 kilometers full. that's the crossing was used by public opinion workers and those traveling full medical cap. a communications blackout continues and the gaza strip with more than 2000000 palestinians eventually cut off from the outside world. internet and telephone lines went down to the state that's according to gallons of authorities and communications companies. a group say the outage is hampering the assets in the territory. the world has organization has been able to visit, goes as badly damaged. i'll ship a hospital that stuff say the hospital is overwhelmed with hundreds of injured patients as you cases arrive every minute. so on, casey is an emergency medical teams coordinator with the world health organization and he just visits that hospital. it tells us more of what can be done for the injured patients. bill yesterday to do is i'll keep
7:07 pm
a hospital for the 1st time in about 3 weeks, allison's disease, fire ended, and we found a hospital that's completely overwhelmed. we saw patients coming in every 30 to 60 seconds on donkeys cards on charlie's with sperry, serious injuries. the hospital was previously the largest referral hospital in gaza, was 750 bed is in a very busy emergency board at the moment. the hospital leadership has indicated that they have only 5 or 6 doctors, 5 or 6 nurses that about 70 volunteers. so what can be done for them at the moment? very little, but we hope to change that. so we delivered a critical emergency supply and strong. my gets yesterday will be delivering fuel for the hospital to run its generator in the coming days. and we'll be going back again with additional supplies and hopefully some additional human resources to help care for these many, many nations that are overwhelming. the very little capacity that remains at steeple. now, can you give us an idea of how many of the ends in coming in to all sci fi,
7:08 pm
a mazda operatives, and how many are civilians and to distinguish between the it is impossible for us to say, i mean, our, our concern is gearing for people with injuries and all of us. and what, what i saw yesterday at cfo was an emergency department that was so full of people injured and the hill that there was hardly room to walk. so i saw the children, i saw women, i saw young and old men and women pregnant women and i, i saw unfortunately, children receiving a sutures stitches without any anesthetic people. well, i out of the game. so it doesn't matter who these people are, they are injured. and as w h o r. and as mentioned, our goal is to support the school to be able to care some people to provide a treatment for their injuries and realistic use their sufferings. and that's what needs that aims to do with the provision of supplies. and then what are we able to
7:09 pm
do in the future missions to 12 people in the coming days and weeks. now you mentioned that also thought the is the most important hospital in a in gaza. is there any other place that sick or injured civilians can go? there are several hospitals that are functioning right now and goes up, but not very many and quite a few are operating in the very minimal capacity in the southern part of gaza. in rough uh there are, there are several hospitals including field hospitals that have been set up for this emergency response in the middle area there. there is some hospital functionality and in the north i'll see for and sort of other hospitals operating very minimally. so i'll see if i previously had 20 operating theatres, none of them are currently working. they're running dialysis machines 24 hours a day on a backup generator, but they, they're not able to come close to meeting them out of that. but we're seeing in all of the hospitals in gaza is that there are $2300.00 even 400 percent of the normal
7:10 pm
capacities. and that they're running those numbers supporting that number of patients with 50 percent for 25 percent of their normal personnel. huge numbers of people here that was placed a, there's a lot of supplies, destruction, and some health facilities. many of them are inaccessible. region fighting in the area, so it's extremely challenging from a health service delivery perspective. and the, the optimal solution to this is piece is a ceasefire, so that people can move, they can access hospital safely so that step health workers can get to hospitals to provide care. um, but at the moment, services are available, but uh, extremely, extremely stretched, strong case of the emergency medical teams coordinator with the world health organization. thank you very much for your time. thank you. let's have a look. not some of the other news making headlines around the world today. the amateur of cool aid shakes now off, out of month. also, ball has been buried on the gauze, carried his body from a mazda to
