9:33 am
has been cut off since immediately after the horroring attacks of the 7 of october, all the lifelines in gaza have more or less been cut, so and all this leads to a desperate situation, as we saw yesterday in in the unfortunate, horrifying incidents where hundreds of people got killed, while there's a uns, well while the secret general mentioned exactly that the investigation should show what the real causes where that's... not even right now important, important is that people are so desperate for food, for fresh water, for any supplies, that they risk their lives in getting any food, any supplies, to support their children, to of support themselves, this is the real drama, of this is the real catastrophe here, that's food and supplies are so scars that we see these situations coming up, and the food supplies have... have been cut off
