medical supplies to gauzans, bearbox stress the seas fire is urgently needed in its territory. rafa was once safe haven for palestinians fleeing northern gaza strip in the earliest stages of the israeli oneslot. that's when the regime forced the palestinians to evacuate their homes ahead of heavy bombardments. this is the status co. rafa now the whole city has turned into a large overcrowded refugee camp. aerial images show how the population in raffa more than quadrupled in a matter of few months. most residents are living in temporary structures such as tents and eight organizations have warned of a dire humanitarian situation. food and water are scars and the city's overburdened health infrastructure is on the brink. life in rough. has grown unbearable
6:35 am
for people who have been traumatized by the loss of their loved ones, destruction of their homes, repeated displacements and the uncertainty of their life in what has become the... the world's largest refugee camp, but could it get any worse? this area was supposed to be safe zone, but there is no safety across the entire gaza strip. they said ref is safe, so we came here, what else could have brought us here? and now they are bombarding a, where could we possibly go? just in one instance, around 100 palestinians were killed in israeli air strikes in raffa on february 12th. the city is located in the southernmost part. the gaza strip. it's trapped between egypt in the south, the mediterranean sea in the west, israeli occupied territories in the east and israeli troops in the north. egypt has blocked the border crossing as it doesn't want refugees from gaza. all this emit israel's push for a
6:36 am
ground invasion into raffa under the pretext of arresting hamas leaders. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has ordered the israely army to evacuate civilians from the city. but where should the palestinians were struck between the devil and the deep blue sea go to? you say they should get out of the way, but you have also admitted in this interview, there is nowhere safe for them to go, because there is nowhere where you can say there will not be airstrives, so and the international community must insist that civilians can be vacated away from areas where hamas is trying to use them as human shields to areas that we have already destroyed we have already destroyed. now it's called grow for israel to hold back his planned assault of rafa criticism at tel avius allied the us has been mounting, international human rights organizations have warned that any further escalation in raffa will have unfathomable
6:37 am
ramifications and so far there has been no signal of an end to the onslot. in fact latest round of truth talks underway in egypt have also proven inconclusive. the united nations has warned that an israeli ground invasion of raffa, which it says is crammed with almost half of the gaza population could lead to slaughter as millions have taken shelter there. yet, news headlines indicate that there is no silver lining for palestinians, especially for those in raffa. the latest round of truth talks among the united states, egypt, israel and qatar in cairo. have not born fruit yet, the looming threat of israel's ground invasion of raffa has even spark criticism from tel aviv's european allies, and uh, it really we think is impossible to to see how you can can fight a war amongst these people, there's nowhere
6:38 am
for them to go, uh, they can't go south into egypt, they can't go north in back to their homes because many have been destroyed, so we are very concerned about the situation and we want israel to stop and think very seriously before it takes any further action, however, the european allies of israel have not stopped there and even blame the main supporter of tel aviv for the unfolding crisis in gaza. how many times have you heard the most prominent leaders and foreign ministers around the world saying too many people are being killed. president biden had this is too much on the top. it's not proportional. well, if you believe that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide less arms. this is not the first time washington has been censured for its involvement in the killing of innocent palestinians. the us is key military backer of israel and has repeatedly vetoed security council resolutions calling for sease fire in

6:45 am
and commentator joining us from beirot. sand alasad, there was this uh first proposal just a couple weeks back i believe, a three-stage one of which hamas had given uh an initial green light so to speak, but there were some terms that it revised and it sent was sent to israel of which the prime minister netanyahu rejected. now we don't know about what has happened in the past 40. for example, hamas has said, we want all the regime forces out of the gaza strip, that's just one of them. okay, first of all, we have also to mention that the the aggression is led currently against the people of gaza is led and launched by by the us and the decision of
6:46 am
the war and stopping the war or continuing the war is is decision is decision of the american administration, so as we are reaching the point of the presidential elections in the united states, the united states, especially biden is trying to pressure netanyahu and the zionist regime into stopping this genocide in order, because we know that the uh, this is attempt to burnish the... the bloody image of the us after they have committed, they have killed more than uh roughly 2800 palestinian civilians in the gaza's trip, and after the clear failure of the zionist appartite regime
6:47 am
to to achieve any of its aims or goals of this aggression, they have failed to... to free any of theirs of their, they have failed to free their their prisoners from the from the palestinian resistance, and they have failed to weaken the the the palestinian resistance, we have seen how the people of gaza stand side by side with their resistance and have rejected the the american and design decision to to replace the... them and to uh excel them to sai. you know we're looking at these talks uh, it's uh, i'm going to call it round two, because round one netanyahu came and flatout rejected it. uh, he's still rejecting it uh, but we're not sure what he's rejecting this time around exactly, because when there are such differences in the core issues, um, we can name, we can name number
6:48 am
them, um, it's still uh, wonder why it is that they're even having these talks in the first place, what's your view on? uh, but you, i think it's kabuki theater, i think this is being done for the benefit of the arab states, for the benefit of the american public and the european public, and you know, they have to pretend there, something is possible here, that side steps all, as you say, all the fundamental issues that are there, but israel is saying very clearly, we're going for a complete victory in in in gaza, they're not going to get complete victory, look everybody knows and everybody should know. and not be fooled, this is not about the the struggle between the fight between hamas and israel, whether israel's after italians of hamas fighters in in rafa, they are after killing and expelling as many palestinians as they want. okay, the fight with hamas and that's all going on, that's important, but it doesn't determine what whether or not the palestinian where the palestinians are going to be in gaza are going to be in six months or three months or
6:49 am
year, and israel wants to invade gaza in order to to force the palestinians to flee. force egypt to open its border, to force other countries to take them, they're sitting there saying, watch us, we're killing everybody in gaza until you let them go, until you take them away, we're not going to stop, so and hamas is saying, we want israel to get out of gaza, israel army not to control gaza anymore, and israel is saying, that's not going to happen, we are going to continue as we have, have vedo power over everything that happens in gaza, and the americans are completely behind israel, and this will not stop until some military. challenges israel says, egypt can open his border saying, we're bringing humanitarian aid in and we're not allowing you to stop us, want to have an arm conflict, we'll have an arm conflict, somebody else can do that, but until that happens israel is going to continue killing gazens until they trying to create a situation in the world is forced to take them out, welcome back here everyone,
