8:02 pm
bodies in a most grave, which is located in the courtyard or fee or no sir hospital. and this goes back. they say when there has been heavy fighting, a military operation by the is really military in hon. eunice in january, february. um, which ended sometime an early april. now um hun eunice is the 2nd largest city in the gaza strip that had been heavy fighting going on and from uh, i witnesses at the time but also from medical and g o. as in the medical medical stuff in the hospital, they were talking at the time about heavy fighting around the hospital for us, but also a siege said it was very difficult for medical teams or for a patients and injured people to reach the hospital. and then with the, is there any military entering also the hospital that was in february now with
8:03 pm
the uh, army withdrawing. uh we're seeing now on these graves uh being uh i discovered how most so, so he said have said since some, as you said, were found without a close somewhere killed there. we heard at the time from many a risk of being made and the it's really military so far has not commented on the 1st thing. it's checking these reports and checking the information and be hearing from palestinians from hon. eunice and from eye witnesses there, that there are many relatives now that the fighting, at least and, and this hospital has stopped where, you know, the, it's really military. they've done this also in other hospitals entering a hospitals because they are saying that these have come months and as of how mazda we're also looking for assigns of the hostages. so it's really all such as being housing garza, or potentially for bodies. but right now, for many families and relative, they're going back to their,
8:04 pm
to look for the last ones and take the bodies to bury them in a proper a graveyard. as tanya kramer speaking to me earlier of the had of israel's no tree intelligence unit has resigned for failing to prevents the almost her attacks on october 7th. what around 1200 people were killed and 250 others kidnapped. major general on her own how leave is the 1st senior is really figure to step down over the attacks. however, says that under his command, the intelligence director, it did not fulfill its task and then he will carry the pain of the war with him forever. emily harding is the deputy director of the intelligence national security and technology program at the center for strategic and international studies in washington. i asked her why it has taken more than 6 months since october 7th, for a senior is really figure to step down at the moment, right after october 7th, israel was in
8:05 pm
a true place of crisis. and while so many leaders and military intelligence, disability and intelligence came out and did acknowledge their own role in their organizations for all over the failure. it wasn't the right time to have a massive and in essence, decapitation of these really intelligent services. you don't want to leadership vacuum while you're trying to mobilize in nearly unprecedented number of soldiers while you're trying to figure out it's really difficult intelligence questions like, where are the hostages and how do we find mosse? it just wasn't the right moment to actually engage in these resignations us and your report concludes israel has failed to provide evidence backing off its claim that members of the un agency for palestinian refugees were involved in terror activities as well made the claim of the aftermath of the october 7th attacks, which led to some donors freezing funds for the un agency bought an independent report for view the workings, and has concluded that the agency has robust frameworks to ensure compliance.
8:06 pm
let's get more on the story from chris gunner as a former chief spokes person for the un relief and works agency for palestine. refugees in the near east run law and right. he joins us from london. thank you so much for taking the time. i'd like to start with your thoughts on this report. was this unexpected outcome for you? i was certainly welcome to declare the reports which confirms the indispensable role of a lifelong as it closes. it also concerns conrad has established a significant number of mechanisms and procedures to ensure compliance, which you might have to have principles. this is important, particularly the principal pharmacy and the pulses roemer possesses a more robust approach you kind of see than any other un agency or n g. oh, that's important because of the moment people are trying to give some of those functions between garza and the west by over to all the agencies most significant.
8:07 pm
if i may, the whole, the credit report states. clearly the israel has made public claims. it's a large number of items, employees on members all towers to the section that is real, has yet to provide supporting evidence of it. in other words, the allegations that triggered this crisis that sold is massive funding remain on the substantiated unsubstantiated. so it would seem that these really close amount to the mother who lives in the intelligence don't see it was based on that intelligence adult was adult. you don't see it. and if i may just make one last point, the curriculum, the other, a curriculum which has been much criticized according to the collision report, it says i'm going to be responsive to criticism of its textbook. and as a misuse, a range of initiative to ensure neutrality. it's material that finds the unrest, education policies, updates a guidelines and manuals have become robust and adequate for purpose. that's really
8:08 pm
good. that's quite a thing for her to conclude. the finding that israel has yet to back up his claims, as indeed seems to be the main take away from this independent panel. and yet they have also cited serious gaps in the agency, upholding the principle of neutrality. specifically, example such as staff, openly stating political views on social media, for example, is that something that needs to be worked on inside of and right and your view as well? i think i'm good to welcome these recommendations of these things being pointed out as a fully align with almost continuous efforts to improve and to keep pace with evolving challenges. in fact, continuous improvement is absolutely cool to another success under the microscope, all screwed to the criticism over the years. and that's why i'm really, it's not considered by misleading, as best the mountain view and just always issues slightly. yes, these guys are important. it's good to she's going to, but i think i'm wrong with embrace them. it's possibly continuous improvement. the
8:09 pm
receive as cool to it's 0 tolerance policy against neutrality, binary sions. now, as we've hinted that israel's allegations it came with, with serious consequences, more than a dozen countries suspended their contributions and its weight that led to a pause and funding of about $450000000.00. according to this report, could you give us an idea of what effect that has had on the relief agency's ability to function? i have to say it's has those political effects. in the we've seen this attack, this political attack on route, which i think lies behind the attacks by b, is waiting for, right to discredit on route to define, done right, and ultimately to dismantle so on. but let's be clear as far as countries like germany, germany, firms, it's funding 200000000 years. yeah. now that's how the devastating effects on in
8:10 pm
gaza has been speeding before the conflict. 1.2000000 people. now that's of course been pushing jessica defined this gen decision and of course the number of people on rook is feeding us almost doubled in that time. so i hope that germany will say very hard about this because, you know, the german people i think will be mystified why it's government would continue to do this in the likes of the fact that the collection report effectively says how the process is in place for dealing with neutrality, and indeed the fact that would know that israel has, which is no evidence, a tool to substantiate navigation on which germany based disposition to the funds. so let's have the journey because without seeing so many, hundreds of thousands of people are slipping into starvation. i think the german government of one of the richest in the world will realize that, you know,
8:11 pm
200000000 euros starvation. no, that doesn't add up, but it's not. you know, what i would see is cool german value. so that's hope that the german government will refund. thank you very much for joining us on dw, with the size of that credit. chris got us formerly with unwrap. thank is as our tensions between israel and iran have turned the spotlight on test runs a nuclear capabilities. the west accuse is a ron of using its civil nuclear program as a cover for developing weapons, which is denies is for hahn. is that the hall to be runs nuclear program? this conversion plant is located outside the city. powered by 3 chinese applied research reactors, it produces fuel for a run civilian nuclear program. these images were shot in march 2005, one of the rare occasions the well got just the inside
