12:04 am
that number is expected to reach a 150 per day, but that will not be enough. united nation says one point. 1000000 people are facing starvation in garza agency. say the only way to reach everyone and prevent famine is by land not by sea. so today's development of the welcome will do. little to is the suffering of nearly 2000000 people displaced by months of fighting in the gaza strip. there was no were left to go for him and his family, but they're destroyed house. he's one of more than 600000 palestinians who have fled. rafa due to the ongoing is really offensive. he's now back to what's left of his family's home and hun eunice today. uber, him has to make food. hello from an a parcel. have a good how you must. well,
12:05 am
this is the kitchen. it's destroyed. what have thoughts on fit for us? but we are making it with god willing, i can repay this whole so the children don't full out. put the boxes usually contain, can meet the fava beans and chick piece the w f. p warns the aid packages like these are running out. we've not been able to access all warehouse and wrap it for more than a week. we have very little food and fuel coming through the boat across things in the south. and we are always trying hard, but failing currently to bring in consistent volumes of food. what agencies want our new shipments and entry points for a delivery to guys a the fuel food and medical supplies have dwindled since the is really military took control of the gaza side of the rock of border crossing. last week to begin ground combat there. a trucks on friday arrived at
12:06 am
a new loading pier built by the us off the coast of gaza as a temporary aid cora door. the number of trucks that arrived there could reach a maximum of $150.00 per day. the u. n. warrens that land routes are the most efficient a delivery method. we asked a u. n. a finalizing our operational plans to make sure that we are ready to handle aid once the filtering dock is properly functioning. while ensuring the safety of our stuff. however, getting a 2 people that need into and across because i cannot and should not depend on a floating duck far from where i need a most acute land roost on the most viable, effective and efficient aid delivery method. which is why we need all crossing parts to be opened. reaching people in need will be the next hurdle to
12:07 am
overcome. for more, i'm joined now by test ingram. she is the spokes person for unicef in new york. and she just spent 2 weeks in gauze of last month test. it's good to have you with this, i want to pick up on your experience that you had in gaza. so recently i'm considering that the un is saying that the threat of famine remains real and acute for the people in gauze. is that also what you saw as it is unfortunately, i think you know, i was fees are being realized that the mind moving through morning some months about the risk of the time and in gaza. and particularly in the north of guys, when i went to the north, i walked around the hospital where so many mountain hours, children, and spoke to their parents. it's just heartbreaking to say your child in that condition is so much pain and not being able to receive the help that they need to recover. i'll see you now, is that because of the issues with
12:08 am
a getting in through the southern border crossings because of the rock for offensive. they're already in dire situation in the south could escalate to what we saw in the north of gaza in a very short space of time. we do have a that is known coming in to the territory via this floating peer that we just reported on. your agency says more than 300000 children in gauze are at risk of mountain nutrition and starvation. how then do you decide which children get the food considering that the food is in short supply to yeah, look, it's really difficult at the moment when the needs are so when all of us and the aid is really a dropping the ocean compared to those days of the humanitarian i work, it's just heartbreaking to know that you turn out to have everybody but you know, same piece that we're staying and we're doing our best to deliver. despite these
12:09 am
really difficult circumstances and reach the children and families that made us devised, we try and plan our distributions based on need, but also wherever strict to buy access. um, as, as we've been saying that for months it's really hard for us to get the size. the insurance is that we need to move to some of these areas. so it's a day by day play at the moment you know, more than half a 1000000 people have fled rafa in search of a safer place. 8 agencies say that there are no more safe places left for people to go to give us a sense of the challenges that agencies are going through to provide help to these people. and so there are 2 main areas where people are being asked to move to for rough and the estimated number of these places. people that have sled ross or in the last 10 days, is now at about 640000 people. so that's about half the number of displaced people that were in rafa. know most moving to people in such
12:10 am
a short amount of time and what we're trying to do to service them in these 2 areas . they going on the last the and do your out by law is to assess the needs and try and bring some level of basic service to those areas. because a moment watching, for example, essentially as engineering, there's nothing that there are no toilets. there are no showers, there's very little interest structures for people to build shelters against. i was sort of that area and it was already busy a month ago, so i can only imagine now and i'm hearing from colleagues just how crowded it is. it's very difficult for us to make the story made when we kind of get a need. so the, the supply is almost ground virtually to halt in the last 2 weeks. it seems the world's attention is focused on the southern part of gaza. but you know, it's not all peaceful in, in the north, in fact, fighting continues in the northern part of the territory. what,
12:11 am
what's the humanitarian situation there? so the knows that the guy is a strip is the, is the area that has been the most affected by the funding and the has had the least access to it consistently over the last 7 months. it's been very difficult for 8 agencies to get this idea assurance as we need to, to travel know, we have one calling a unicef in the north of gaza, remains there. and i've spoken to her and she's told me just how difficult the situation is there at the moment a below big followed to evacuate. but these are people who has been out for 7 months and have survived serious selective services, including a lack of food. and so people are unsure about what to do now whether they really do take the plunge and try and move. but the funding is, as you say, testifying in the notes as well as the south and worldly staying strikes. and the middle areas are broad across the guys, the streets, children's lives, remain at risk tests. ingram with unicef,
12:12 am
cuz we appreciate your time and your input to not thank you. thank you. the president of the country of georgia has repeated for opposition to a controversial bill that the critics are describing is a threat to free speech. now the bill to legislation, which was passed on tuesday, requires media organizations and engineers to register as foreign agents. if they receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad, u. w. 's, maria, because there are lots of reports from the george and capital tbilisi on who was behind the new law. and while your opponents are so concerned or the pensions run high as a georgian parliament boiling over to seconds after the government adults the for an agents bill for the test as a furious. and we choose to back down opponents of the low say the routing party is
12:13 am
pulling georgia away from europe. and closer to russia are gone. critics say that only golf and found out there within georgia, dream party between a bunch really who made his fortune in russia is behind this shift. and then of seemingly unlimited power and fabulous wealth. his message is clear. the west is the enemy is modeling in georgia, and if this and it's relations with russia, china, georgia on your credit and level to now to join a time and we're left out fine. but lots of goals. such decisions are made by the global war pods, but it's not that we just have to slice it comes on linked to new york, an early ninety's, georgia. franklin as well kind of in front of is this on the president of georgia, your game, or the last really was, was even history of this ally now here, wireless against him, and joins in the protest. he has done abroad, definitely pro russian. look, this is a pro russian hill. so yeah, he has,
12:14 am
he has committed himself to soviet guys in georgia to use a vacation, georgia. so yeah, that's, that's why he is. unfortunately, i think the experts say that the shift away from the west is directly linked to russia's ongoing invasion of ukraine. for both of them, you need to get to this would be the 91 is really who is behind the of doors in dream. he believes that she was reading this for ukraine and basically west is very weak and he's trying now to accommodate that just to a political interest in the post soviet space. and he thinks that the georgia should be prepared for this even issue is direct connections to the crumbling are still not k, but some of the of a suggest that he's concerns for his own personal safety. could also play a role. and you know, he also needs to show the loyalty to mr. 14 because, you know, he knows that you know what he could do with the,
12:15 am
or the gods. especially those who kind of looking line, which is a policy interest. russia still occupies positive, georgia, anti criminal sentiment is intense and wide spread in georgia society. the country is 3 feet away from the west. so with moscow has met with resistance. and the state has responded with a violent plumb down. there had been weeks of unrest. thousands detained into it. despite the police brutality, the crowd ski know down even before the little thompson, to force its implications, already apparent violence against the position fee, because an activist instrumentation of done unless the government is using russians have to process movements in this country. but they say they will not be intimidated, and them shows this through civil disobedience. good job hurry,
12:16 am
the professor at the university and bbc is one of the many academics who condemned before an agent's law. for that, he became the target of a violent attack. he believes it was august right, to buy their will when potty, i know people started beating me with a big long, heavy sticks like baseball beds. i don't know, maybe it was baseball, but i tried to to to, to refresh myself and then i fell down. they continued between me for baseball, but they said something like a so you want to guys the law to go going much. my god, this is the interest has to be lease the west, has to step up and help georgia overcome this political crisis to break away from russia. what we need is
12:17 am
a strong support on behalf of our partners know more folks and more options. students have been domain agency protest, movements for them to fight for independence and the european future is not over yet because she's been through this. georgia has been through this, you know, because i should have bunch of physically and mentally always for the centuries. and we're not going to let our government finally decide this for us from inside of georgia because we're just sending it to the sport generation. my grandmother's, my mother's where i guess because i'm going to continue with their like i said, i'm going to put them despite the support future generation. students say that they will po task for as long as it takes right up until october elections when to just move past the ballot to decide the future of their governments.
12:18 am
time land is well on its way to becoming the 1st country in southeast asia to legalize same sex marriage. the most important hurdle, a boat in the lower house of parliament, was cleared in march, but the new law may open the doors to a future full of other challenges. use georg might've submit a lesbian couple in bangkok, hoping to tie the knot with full legal marriage. rights they just want to be a family like any other. this is ariah, her wife harriet and the 5 month old daughter the. the to tie women got married in the u. k. 7 years ago and have been waiting since then can finally type than not in the home country to. this would make things easier for you, right? when we have a baby to get there. so you should get some benefit from from that home printing you from her company, like, uh, the park far education fee,
12:19 am
or the maybe call the park from the company that she works for, like a normal household, like uh, between man and woman maxwell are for us is woman and boom, and we cannot get that. currently only ariah the legal guardian of the adult. while harriet is the only official owner of their home, because they could not legally share the mortgage. as things are now if harriet, where to leave the house to ariah, in the event of her death, it would attract high inheritance. texas. the lower house of parliament is making moves to change all of that. it's past the marriage equality bill. the law still has to be approved by the senate and signed into law by the king. no young us of poppin has been fighting for this for many years. you know, when we talked about greater social acceptance,
12:20 am
it didn't happen overnight. it's because l g b t 2 plus individuals have refused to be suppressed and have continuously funding for their rights over time. we don't have known she is one of the most important representatives of civil society giving evidence in the continuing senate hearings on the matter. she says that the conservative pro military government that leads to thailand in the past try to slow liberalization. but that ended when the few type part, which is now in power, was one of the major parties who included marriage equality. and it's campaign from ariah and harry adult to mistake that the bill will become little and there also hoping for further changes the bill will only concern marriage. the legal terms father and mother will not be affected kindly. one of the women has to register as the father to the daughter. they fear this legal great zone does not give them full
12:21 am
parental rights. it will be good if, if the, the 1st law is past for, for the same sick manage. and then the pad institute, the kid can become later for the whole that that to be became very easy to it. yes . that may take longer, but they wait for the equal marriage act seems nearly over. the law will come into force $120.00 days after the king signs it. then the 2 will have the big party. they've always dreamed of. and get married again. alright, i want to bring in now jennifer lou, she's director for asia programs at outright international. that's and o g, b t i q human rights in g o. jennifer, it's good to have you with this. but 1st of all, this, this bill now it still has to clear the senate and it has to be signed by the king . is there any doubt that it will be passed into law um,
12:22 am
according to the local activities, because the bill already passed both houses of the representatives and the son that was a significant support, including the members from the traditional call server to mandatory allied to send that so most people think this bill will be passed eventually, but right now it's in the committee process. so it might be delayed because of that. so we really hope the civil society really urgent to take our rebecca, no response. these huge o p as a soon that's possible, right? but i really want to get counter tickets before the hedge. but let's assume that this bill does become low. do you think then that it could serve as an example, as a template to other southeast asian nations that are perhaps not as socially liberal? is thailand when it comes to gender and sexual equality?
12:23 am
of course, i know a lot of countries active. there's a not only in the eligibility movement, but in general or civil side, you really looking for where least positive edge office of all because compared was to other asian countries tie, one of which is my country. and also me pull the bills in thailand, the language is actually relatively more equal, i think cruise the probations for joint the child, the raising and also others equality of same sex couples. so our asian country, especially se, but asia country i'm really looking forward to least change because by one being the countries i'd never been whole night and the way or the visa is the traditional religious. i think a lot the book, a lot of people think eligibility rights are wisdom value. this misconception. does
12:24 am
that align with the reality? these are in thailand the paul and juan. so i think that the bailey said, that's a really important message, a narrative to the world, eligible to ride our human rights around the world. not only in western countries. let's talk about your, your home, taiwan. it's considered to be the most progressive place in asia in terms of eligibility q rights of has taiwan, achieved the quality i want. i think the civil society really urgent. the bench in, during the marriage can have of course we realize there's are some conflicts in both side and the compromise was strongly we find the balance between the bose is fine. but you can see after quite your own kill least here of the whole supply to actually change the and then you can be our profit. the timing was some of the best
12:25 am
of the wishes to the resume. when are they young way in the roof or drug credit show? who is the 1st that you say you show way not. so you can see the whole society actually in re the, um, the quality and that includes a narrative, you know, and then everybody actual, it's a really positive message. i'm really proud though. let me, um, you know, extend this out to other countries. i'm thinking in particular of china. china has more than a 1000000000 people yet. if you relied on the communist party, you would think that there are no problems for gays and lesbians because there are no gays and lesbians and she's in pains, china, i mean, do we have an idea of this? what the, what the human rights situation is for the eligibility to community in china, in china, we did have a really that and a pro active,
12:26 am
most eligible. they moved them for quite a long time. but unfortunately, especially during and after depends i make the high controlling of the table 5. he makes the most the eligibility of 9 ration shut down because of so called the sensitive um the, the activities and the moves and they're doing. but i do understand that there are still a lot of individual active is trying to men tend to move 9 the momentum of the movement in a lot of these words speaking, you know, try not big is so huge. yeah. so um does they also have, according to, of course the population they have the biggest, the eligibility population i believe around the world. so i really urge the international sy fi can we still pay attention to the situation of the eligibility of not only active it and also the individual, same china because they do need that's a for around
12:27 am
a war to make sure for the human rights can be made 10. i agree in those big country. jennifer lou with outright international jennifer, we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us and bring us up to date on here. what could be big, a big change for the, for the people in thailand. thank a i think it's for the day it's almost done the conversation, the continues online, you'll find it on the x formerly known as twitter and on youtube dw nearest you can follow me at brent golf t v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day, have a good weekend. everyone will see you here again on monday, the
