2:01 pm
evacuate the . i'm sarah kelly, welcome to the program. the united states and britain have launched a series of air strikes on the hoof. the militia in yemen, washington in london, put out a joint statement saying that they hit thousands of target, which included underground weapons depos missed the systems and launchers and radars. the strike is part of the us is military effort to discover the fees from further disrupting global shipping lanes. and the red sea and other strikes are part of a series of us lead strikes, targeting the who few rebels in yemen. but so far they have failed to deter the ronnie and back to militia. i asked the middle east analyst and the military expert, roger shanahan. if the strikes are meeting the rain is certainly,
2:02 pm
i suppose there's 2 aspects to this day is a deterrence effect. and deterrence effects don't necessarily happen instantaneously. you've got to look at from a long term campaign perspective. and the other issue is degrading the type ability . so we say the kind of targets that they're attacking at not already the massage themselves through the side of the launch is which there a finite number, right? as that contribute to the effectiveness of these weapons and also other logistic support element. so while these are still able to launch the weapons that haven't been particularly effective, and for some of those elements of those weapon system says the final numbers are they, are they integrated? it follows. meantime, us air strikes on friday that hit targets in a rock in syria. these were the us response to
2:03 pm
a drone attack. the killed 3 us troops in jordan. don't know all of the strikes they have been targeting or run back to groups or around interest. how much control does around actually have over these groups as well as this is by $64000.00 question. i think that some people like to portray around as a compromise to where they pull the stream is a certain action happens at the other end. i think that's it, that's not correct. certainly, ron might use a general guidance to some of these groups. some of the groups that have a much close relationship then with others that i logistically, financially support them and provide training to them. so certainly they of writing with a broad imprimatur override in some instances that carrying out direct attacks based on a rainy direction. but it's very difficult to determine exactly what is happening in
2:04 pm
any one point in time. so i particular group, so it's a very, very gray area. so then take us inside the calculus because we've heard around the say that the us has made a strategic mistake, that will the stabilize the region. do we know how they might respond? we tell you better writing and response yes. as well, i think as a relatively accepted rules of the game which unwritten and so long as responses from us, for instance, dine an impact on writing. so run carry through a time a tech are writing and targets. it's really considered that the writing support groups that are outside of around prop up attack united kind of targets doesn't have a precipitous effect on writing responses. so it's very fond onset washington to,
2:05 pm
to walk along that i have to be sane to take military action against pro running groups, but without attracting a significant or direct response from around itself. and i think that doing that at the moment, but there's always a difficulty with this kind of policy approach. roger shanahan, middle east analyst, and the terry expert in sidney. thank you so much. my pleasure. saying now in the middle east as fighting goes on in gaza. so to do efforts to halt the nearly 4 month for a moss now says that israel and international mediators have made a tentative truce offer. the militant group, however, considered a tear organization by most western states, as it is still reviewing those details. hundreds of 10 crammed together in rough or part against with egypt. this is probably the safest place for
2:06 pm
people to southern most garza to escape the fighting and bombing elsewhere. it's estimated this half of the population of gaza is now in the area. but these really ami, still attacking targets in the city. scouts was how much strong health services, se 14 people were killed in one attack in rough or on such as a willingness out of hello, that's helping felicia go home and go to the zones considered safe. but at the end, whenever people go, they get moment why, who knows who goes just revenge. they just want to bring destruction to people. that's all shifting to the motive. and you can see the huge destruction in this area and they show you the right and what was the cause of all the neighboring houses were affected with demand route that has, that might be meanwhile, international attempts to negotiate to cease fire between hamas and israel.
2:07 pm
continue, i'm most concerned that it has received a proposal from israel, of the us, egypt, and cut off. it said it needed more time for decision that's still spinning. but there's no team yet. and it's rarely defense minister you i've got on says, is john forces with also eventually advanced into rough or something. israel's allies have strongly warned against german 4 administer under the not the book said a military operation against off or who cannot be justifiable. and he, the tv is the care acting deputy regional director for the middle east and north africa. i asked her earlier what options there are for hundreds of thousands of displaced people in rossa is really army extends, it's military offensive to ross us. i thank you so much for this question. unfortunately, and as you know, and as we have seen in your report, the options that are the main goal,
2:08 pm
what's the for the people if the are moved out of our own was non and these are, this is the only remaining area where people are trying to secure themselves enough to a step is that that is it, that is actually an open for them to stay in with the medium a medium. i'm not even, you know, as services that exist if this space is going to be unlimited to the x 10, that we are very afraid that there are no other things. it has to go to an options to, to use in gaza. talk with us a little bit more about the services and the aid because for weeks we have been hearing what the u. n. has described as pockets of famine in gaza and diseases spreading. with more, can you tell us about the current efforts to reach civilians and provide health as they are? are many actors in gaza trying to reach as many people as possible. i'm on with them. i just care at own of us. we try our best. we try to secure services from
2:09 pm
outside from inside garza, but what we do is 10. the same. we use this terminology, weeks and weeks ago, dropped in the ocean once we are providing now still a drop in the ocean. if the needs went on or the mass of weeks ago, they are extremely massive. now, the number of 8 incident is very, very limited. that plus the ability to distribute that is very limited. and then once it's even only most not existence and the same as applied in but now in the south and off and in the surrounding area is the same as applied on hand units and other locations. the requirements are mass of but what is happening in guys or entering is very, very limited. then the international court of justice has ordered israel to allow more aid into gaza. what has your organization been noticing? has there been any increase since then? so there are these where we see more at 8 and to these with less into the highest number of a chunks entering in guys
2:10 pm
a 3rd day. the highest number is as low as most half of the requirement in the on many days before the what, which means that we are unfortunately facing very limited amount. entering garza, the requirements are massive. as i mentioned with the ones that into the more and more aid is needed for and when to the items, jump to the items and descent. and this is not happening unfortunately that after the i c, j a and announcements, there was not much improved to answer your question. we've been hearing and, and reporting today that israel and her mos negotiations on a potential cease fire are still ongoing. um, you mentioned a number of, of things that are needed in gaza. what would be among the most urgent needs for civilians if there were to be any breaking the fighting? what's on the top of of the list for you? it's very difficult to prioritize one item or 2 or even see everything is needed in
2:11 pm
god's out for the war to fewer shut the test medicine on effect as needed. and unfortunately, all of that is focused only on life savings and not even for, for livelihood. we don't even think about this right now. if it's only for life saving own, these are considered priorities that we wish we are going to be able to secure in, in any of these quiet or at least short ceasefire in the coming. hopefully these you're about to be care acting, deputy regional director for the middle east and north africa in amman. thank you so much for joining us and dw news. and here's some other world news for you. now. regions are voting and a referendum that could triple parking fees for larger as tvs from outside the city . the city says that they cause more pollution and deadly or accidents. opponents argue that the vehicles are being unfairly targeted and say that older combustion engines are worse for the environment. and modern su beats. heavy snowfall
