upon eunice. the little co master hospital says it's running out of supplies. space is limited, but the patients keep coming to the hospital is receiving a lot more than its capacity. in fact, we have functioning a 300 percent capacity. the beds are full and most of the time one bed is holding 2 patients, the same time name. and then we have basically showed an all sorts of medical supplies to find them. and many of that was brought to hospitals are collected by members of the red crescent who transport the data winded, through streets filled with debris. and with no signs of escalation, there appears to be no respite for a population cost in the crossfire. according to the masters on guys, a health ministry. israel's offensive has killed more than 21500 palestinians.

the united nations estimates that about 85 percent of guys this population is now you displaced. i spoke earlier to push for a lady the policy bead for ox found in the palestinian territories. she told us more about the situation and gaza for the latest is rarely strikes as well. i'm in fact, personally affected by what's happened this weekend as i, especially in the my as a massacre on christmas eve. i have my family in the refugee time, but the moment a distant relative of ours, lost his time, lost 2 legs and that attack. uh and now is the question for my family including is where do we go next and where is safe for us to go and thats,

they've already been displaced 3 times. this is the story of probably they have a lot most people in bozza where there is no way to go. they're trapped in a small strip of land with no food, no water, no copper health care, no electricity. um no fuel, uh no telecom and very, very little aid coming in. and even whatever aid comes in could never be enough to really meet the needs of an entire and it did as an entire set city the state. and i'm sorry to hear about the only member there. this is clearly an issue affecting you personally as well. i'm sorry to jump in. i. we are just hearing though, that is, rails military has announced a 4 hour tactical pause in fighting in the south of the gaza strip. and i'm wondering from your professional experience how much you thinks these temporary breaks like this could help 8 workers to do their jobs. of absolutely

nothing for hours to meet the needs of 2 point. 2000000 people were talking about half of which are children. many are sick, many of wounded people. it's, it's, it's absolute chaos. people are fighting for their lives every single day. so 4 hours is that is it's meeting are really, is just like the truths you know, a few, a few weeks ago. and as you maintain organizations were raising the alarm bell on this and how, you know, the 5, the pause is nothing in comparison. so that means that we're seeing receive, we're talking about almost 60 to 70000 people injured, many of which with extremely traumatic entries. we're talking about people already in hospitals, but also talking about those of the my parents in law are elderly people. they need a medication from the hearts and, and different kinds of things that they can't even get. so it's not just about how

much 8 comes in in 4 hours. it's about a complete permanent ceasefire. an end to the bombing, an end to the war, crimes that we're seeing submitted and a restoration of services. and i'm a proper environments that humanitarian workers to work in. not. and i'm an assignment where we would be ok as you maintain workers to center teams, to deliver aid and it's, it's, it would reach, i do the care to our own teams. well, thank you very much for joining us to share your personal experience and, and the work of 8 workers. as israel says it is continuing, it's offensive against a mazda there. that is bushera lady austin's policy lead for the palestinian territories. we very much appreciate your time. thank you. i can bring you up to speed now with some other world news headlines. us presidential guidance administration has bypass the congress to approve an emergency arm sales as well. for the 2nd time this month, components for artillery shells are included in the nearly $150000000.00 transfer.

the state department is that the decision was justified by the urgency of israel's need. hundreds of judge climate activists have gone to major highway in amsterdam. the protesters are demanding an end to fossil fuel projects, finance with another one's largest bank i n g. the activist ignored of ban on the demons ban on the demonstration, climbing onto the highway and forcing place to shut down the road. flooded railway tunnels under the river thames have forced the cancellation of more than a dozen eurostar frames between london and europe. engineers are working to fix the problem, but euro stars warning of severe delays. thousands of passengers and less frantic. just before new years eve, russia has vowed to retaliate after a ukrainian missile and groaned stride killed at least 14 people, and injured over 100 others in the southern city of belgrade. now the attack comes just a day after russia launched its biggest aerial assault on ukraine since the war began

. earlier, the ministry side as forces and shot down 13 rockets more than 30 drums over the bells or rock regions. rushes or ministry has called for a un security council meeting to discuss the arena moran is a postdoctoral research or in the worst studies department of kings college london . and i asked her if you crane's rockets and drones were revenge for rushes, heavy airstrikes a day earlier, a good day. well i, i think it is very plausible to believe that ukraine have to formulate some sort of response and this short window of opportunity. but generally speaking, we have seen attacks from ukrainian territory on balderas. we have seen some attacks on moscow, most notably in may during the may celebrations. so i think it's a mixture of bose. we have to remember that this is a war. it's not a quick pro cool one side is not bleeding until a nozzle on the tax in order to conduct some operations. hello racing for ukraine.

this is important to do it right now to demonstrate this resilience. and to demonstrate that it still has the capability to respond for perhaps not in kind. however, it has to do something to demonstrate the will of ukrainian people to resist the russian aggression in the international era. now where they support for ukraine is waning, looking at rushes, strikes on you cramming russia head practically every corner of your brain and fridays air attacks. but officials are describing as the biggest since the start of this war did the scale of the attacks. there comes a surprise at this point in the war as well, perhaps because we haven't seen many strikes of sat scale being conducted. and the 1st one was when the war has started. and so, over the years we have heard that russia is running out of missiles, but as

a matter of fact, russia is not running out of missiles and russia has been preparing for this attack . end of november, it has tested cubes. air defenses was for headphones, for instance, and here we're seeing that, especially after the ukrainian attack on, on russian worship. in philadelphia, it was sort of a logical response by russia to target few cranes. military facilities dropped in factories and munition factories everything that they could locate in warranty, to destroy ukraine's capability to conduct such strikes. in the future, we heard a ukrainian air force spokesperson saying that russia has launched everything. it has including x, $22.00 missiles, which are extremely hard to intercept. what does that tell you about russia's strategy at this point? well, i think russia has a step up its game in terms of the results it is using in order to evade the

western supply. the are the friends as such as a patry of batteries, and i think we also have to understand that the russia has run up its capacity to produce missiles. um, there have been many reports from western sources indicating such and indicating the fact that russia has managed to circumvent the sanctions in order to get the necessary parts. so, we shouldn't be underestimating russia in thinking that it and it might, for a lot of missiles, of quite the opposite. i've seen that we're likely to see more of so sophisticated missiles to be used in ukraine or a number on thank you. as always for your analysis, that is on marina martin from kings college london. thank you for having me to. no artist often try to reach new depths with their work, but one belgian comic strip creator has taken that quite literally with a unique, underwater display. belgians comic strips seen as world famous home to characters ranging from 1010 to the smurfs. and now there's a new way to fully immerse yourself and the culture of the global slippers and
