witness testimony allegedly backing up the plan, the i just off the 7 o'clock sunday evening here at most go this is all to international and straight to your top stores, we go and god, so it takes it all for this hour here on oxy, where a cord into local officials. i've a 200 people killed on saturday. that includes the united nations 8 worker and his family in his riley strike. one gaza city, meantime baffles. have it wrapped it in the south in a fun, eunice? and it was once a bustling town, but now look at destruction and debris everywhere. according to egyptian media, 25 percent of the homes that are all considered and habitable as john list of men show, schumann now is by i personally, every day is this front of the 2 guys. it was many of the people here in the hospital while i'm living in a temporary sense. and every day we try to provide the size of these one who means

that ottoman associated out this by piece and meet the fluids in the mouth. either forget the or rise or and then some the then tennessee, you know, so we would like to ensure that you have enough of that every day with a lot of things like dates, like the cheese to keep us warm. but it's just fun to like, notify. busy of every day we have volunteer fine presets for free with us throughout the neighborhood yet. and in addition to that, the new season has out. i have many of us are sick and we're just trying to make it through the hospital is a very big bed because of the like a small town. and people are living everywhere on the street inside the buildings around the states, together with many thousands of engine on the long term patients to and their

families that are also many refugees for. busy it's a very, very packed area. you have about 55000 fee for the process in a very small we hope to hear the sound of the s bikes. the sound of the says, fine, get it all of us. we thought we every like the thanks have it as close as the 150 meters. i think there's really no idea. i mean, the city forces with off hospital before they would do personally when i was in the house, the city a couple of times, the things that i text me right away, bombs, withdrawal strikes, have no idea to save that as normally save a loss of all sorts itself for the couple of slides this week. the time, of course, as the casualties continued about each and every day. the number of functioning hospitals as well as the medical stuff needed to run them, is radically on the decline of the central city of the allies and no exception as

health care personnel, or under a very intense pressure that often the idea of striker locals in this picture right is searching for survivors through the rubble. at least 40 people repeatedly killed in attacks on central gas or on sunday night. we'll have this report, but now to assist the channel. audi arabic, the our exit hospital of the we're here in a lot. so hospital, a medical facilities that has been badly damaged so many people are coming here because of b as rarely, rates which target civilians. in particular, it's making the situation worse. there's a lack of medical facilities here to deal with the severity of people's injuries. we will try to show you what the survivors are dealing with in this intensive care units. most of them are women and children. curious, dr. sammy all have top. the head of the emergency room had all locks to the hospital. you will show us what sort of condition the victims are and when they are brought here, let people sleep in

a doctor's due to the ongoing conflict. a large number of casualties are being brought here to all watch the hospital with limited facilities. how do you help the injured brought to, you know, frankly speaking, it is difficult to deal with because we're not seeing cases, we're only a lag is broken or someone experiencing abdominal, bloating. we treat a variety of cases including broken bones, trust, injuries and head injuries such as these cases here with this child and another child that patients are coming to us with different diseases and multiple injuries . and this creates a major obstacle for us in treatment or surgery. in addition, there is a huge number of cases coming in, and this creates a serious obstacle. so things are definitely difficult to give heads us that we can sort of, i mean the increasing number of injured women and children coming in and the hospital not having the capacity to receive such a large number of patients. do you have the necessary staff from the i am talking

about the necessary number of medical staff to receive such a large number of victims and provide them with the needed care of default? well, unfortunately, medical staff do not have the capacity to do so. and the size of the hospital cannot accommodate such a large number of wounded and sick. she's going to philadelphia, philadelphia has a thank you doctor. nothing here in all, lots of hospitals, operating theatre through the serious shortage of medicine and necessary equipments the away as the military operation continues. the situation and gaza is becoming increasingly difficult to manage on home enough r r t because of the un really fund works agency policy and refugees in the near east has a well taken issue with the is really cool for people to evacuate from parts of southern gaza, ultimately pointing out that there is no, no safe place left to go. people and goes, there are people that don't pieces on the check. a board many have already being displaced several times. these really all me just oldest people to move into areas

where they're ongoing as strikes. no place is safe, no way to go. oh yeah, and my colleagues ask you to taylor with discussing which amount of the air in crisis in gaza with the spokes person for the international committee of the red cross in jerusalem. and i really think that the civilians in dog, they would say that there is no safe place for them to be right now. maybe they're not in direct areas with also still easy going. but there are so many other challenges. i say from student security, all they say from home codes, whether it's early decreasing in temperature or they say when they, when they enter those to get treatment, that people don't have the resources for. it really is such a devastating situation and up to 2 and a half months of constant explosions. and as we just heard, people be displaced multiple times. i really don't feel that any civilian and got off to say that there is a safe place. how difficult, how dangerous is it for

a while? cuz who are trying to do that job right now, and the goal is a strep throat, now i can speak what, ask you the international committee of the red cross. we are finding it very difficult to read or else the security guarantees are not there. and we need these be safety guarantees for asked off to be able to safely move around and be confident that they, they will be able to reach people who be impacted by is about teams that just door and feel like varies based off what you guys heard and what to take place right now, of course they all working in the said places like hospitals in the southern area, but places like they don't have being very challenging for teams to get see. i mean, we do know that there are still civilians that israel has suggested that it's possible to allow 3 times more 8 trucks into garza. i'm what are your thoughts on

on was and thoughts and off, we really welcome it. any increase in a, any improve in the supply? the costs that it's rained thought off, because really the problems. and then me say ok so immense. this sort 5 ranging things like disposable income facilities out very quickly being on the wife dies institute for brain tablets to purify board top hospital beds. a very large range of, of supplies is needed. but we would also like to use arrays that the guarantees of safety to be able to effectively distribute these type of aid is also needed. now we do have a lot of a coming to the street, but we con affectively distribute this to the people who needed it. unfortunately, why haven't you packed and do we know anything about the remaining hostages, who are pissed for the families? they desperately want them home? doesn't look like they should have any contact with them because that was an issue

at one point. we are still calling for our access to the hostages, so that we can do exactly as you said, check on the wellbeing of. and so they receive any medical treatment that is required, and very importantly, re establish the contact with their family members. we work with the bone in facilitating the release of 109 hostages now. and we are incredibly relieved that we are able to take policy not, but we do know that there are fewer hostages time beheld it all. and we're continuing to request to so that they can be for united families. and so it's, it's hard to get your head around it, but the destruction of gaza has basically outpaced that of any other will this century, that is according to an assessment by the washington post. it says that twice as many buildings were destroyed in 2 months of audi. if a tax on gods have been during 3 years of fighting of the syrian city of la,

the evidence shows that israel has carried down it's war and gas uh at the base and level of devastation that's likely exceeds any recent conflict. destroying more buildings in for less time than will discharge year in the syrian regimes battle for laptop. from 2015 to 2016. the report says 37000 buildings in gauze that have been damaged about of food. if those have been completely destroyed. is there any forces i believe, to have conducted more than 29000 air strikes since the war are wrapped in early october. that includes miss all attacks in close proximity to hospitals and washington post to refer to satellite images indicating big crates as near 17, the hospitals in the region. israel is believed to have dropped as many palms on gaza in the past 2 months as america and its allies dropped on iraq over an entire year at mid the invasion in 2003. so i spoke with construction specialist,

the ultimate yeah. yeah. he says the idea of, we'll continue bombing gauze, or until the war is finished, just as a displacement of more than 80 percent of the 5th relation. you can see that certainly military is now, can bump these homes as these structures without any concentration. so slight citrate is, is keeping to increase and i think it would be. and so this one thing that it was being case at the end of the conflict shortly is the human soul is being a kind of kind of what we do tend to calculate the human costs in the numbers. but in terms of is a building um, the initial estimates estimate for a is a building goals. plaza is now about $50000000000.00, has used dollars. and you can imagine is that it's not only about the cost. it's also about the time in, from my perspective,

from my construction mistakes, they made those at least one year to will just one building and to finish it. so can you imagine like c deals, 365 kilometers? probably it has been destroyed. well as our christmas gets ever so much closer, just about it and well in the next uh, 12 hours or so. the traditionally festive day is all being well but officially canceled in the west bank. it's uh, the locals way of showing solidarity with a fellow palestinians who are living under his riley bombardments in garza. i'm at least bureau chief marie if an officer not picks up the store and beautifully decorated 3 in the middle of bethlehem and the spirit of christmas throughout the city where jesus was believed to have been born of celebrating proud it was last year. here's your christmas celebrations, all across the west bank have been officially cancelled with what is happening in guys. i'm palestinians here. say they do not feel like it's time for facilities in

downtown bethlehem where they usually hand and the strings of christmas lights. the workers pull up have been, or a reminder of tragedy and folding in the palestinian and clave. antoine, son of mine, is best the hens for me, or can we cause same decisions were made at least twice during both into father's violence, palestinian mass uprisings against israel. and it is not, it's about solidarity. we are and both of them or in jerusalem or in my lovely, i've bought over the palestinian, the people and we, i'm of the sort of the so, and so did that it to dollars of we also have the same stuff inc and we have the, the same cutting in the middle of the square with famous christmas tree is placed every year. preparations are on the way to set up an installation of a different kind of activity on the rubble. there's nothing that they wouldn't be shown as bombarded by the alien aircraft without showing baby jesus. why vision

mary? carry out him to run away to egypt in order to protect him from the decision that has to be taken by her or those to can or kids and bethlehem. and it is very similar in what's happening does a strip nowadays the people, the families of taking their kids to assess a place to protect them from the is that are in an occupation. christmas is usually high season in bethlehem with crowds of children, foreigners from around the globe. the city has accepted around $1500000.00 visitors and the 1st not 9 months of this year. with a 1000000 overnighted stays in local hotels. the israel have mass for has changed everything. the financial losses for the city, which mainly depends on tourism are tremendous. every day, every single day we lose $1000.00 us dollar because of the war because of the absence of tourism. kind of stunning. janetta we are losing 2500000

a day. much it from the tories ministry says the biggest challenge is that the workers, thousands of them involved in all those effective industries. tories themselves souvenir production have lost the source of income. if you go to the social media, you'll see post people asking for has full financial help for financial support, which is the 1st time that i see such kind of such kind of messages going from uh from inside a lot of houses. um, how about 5 minutes and i'll come in, it does most of the shops in the city. i closed it so a new job to see the streets of bethlehem empty. and the iconic blue gates shot in one location we found open has a history and the reason not to locate stores, 3 generations of one palestinian family have been running it for almost 100 years. they say it is more than just a shot because this place also it's part of the forward heart. so we don't want to

go with both. we come. we open, we see our friends or family, especially the space is opposite to the benefits of jesus. so that's gives us more hope religious sacrament is and introduce all traditions remain intact during this dark christmas. even though they usually packed the churches are far from being. so right now, a church backyard is the only place where we found some decorations and answers to how their religious communities seized. the conflicts between israel and thomas, the test was always against the violence judge that the same, that's not the same as, but also we can not generalize. if a positive philistine in or by the phase of alien mic violence, you cannot say both but a scene is violent and all is right. in spite of violence, father rami says, human history has always seen dark and wide pages. prayers these here he tells me we'll all be about wisdom and the will to make the right choices. what is the

solution? we pray in this christmas for the peace and the to eliminate the mind that the highest of the leaders of the word. so they will save the humanity, not save their interests, and only god knows how many more palestinians in garza and his riley soldiers will die before the long awaited peace. well, this is not the. 6 time that's best, let him and all of palestine. i'm going through hard times. people say this current crisis is by far the most painful and hard breaking. but as always, especially during christmas, the ra hopes here that's the hard shapes, like the ones of the past will be overcome and the light will shine through the darkness. reason, ocean are all t reporting from bethlehem and merry christmas. of the meantime, i'm more than a 1000 palestinians, allegedly killed in a field style execution during an idea for 8 on gallons of city. the claim has been

detailed by the geneva, by human rights watched old mill road mad, which published i wouldn't miss testament. the soldiers gathered more than 50 men and force them to strip naked. then they opened fire on them and executed them in front of us. my husband by 3 sons and my brothers were executed in front of us, then they locked us and the rest of the women and children in the room and fired shelves at us. well, as rarely forces was stationed outside the house. well, this is joking, test somebody from the euro made human rights organization. we have to say that it hasn't been independently verified at this stage. now they've spoken to a number of eye witnesses for all my number of families that have been displaced in garza who say that the sultan's and the husbands, that relatives with shots in cold blood. by the way, the defense falls. now, according to the survivors and to the eye witnesses, some 16 men were rounded up, splitting the kid and then shots in front of them. oh, those have been a survey. the wounded women and children would look to the room. apparently miss

oliver throw some of those injuries include amputations, an elderly published any amount has been taken away by is ready to be sold just, or there's a saying that they were deliberately targeted, despite indicating that they didn't pose a french army forces rated the building detained the young man forced them to take off their clothes, shots in front of us, and executed them, including my husband and my brother's parents. then they locked us in a room and fired at us. i was wounded along with a 9 month old baby girl. and my 6 year old child was also wounded. my husband is drowning and his own blood in front of us now. and we are afraid that they will come back to attack us. we informed them that we are civilians and raised the white flag. and now you are and that says is receiving an increasing number of testimonies, outlining these humanitarian atrocities, including field execution side. and the is rating. so just opening finding people's

homes in discriminatory and that assignment what things are occurring in areas where they have come on to find these values. so we'll just come on to find from palestinian resistance groups, but the homes that they are targeting then not posing a threat, these are on, on so many. and so you're my deciding that this is evidence of revenge attacks, which of course is a violation of international law. they're also saying that a palestinian civilians are being targeted was that moving between husbands because of the displacement as we receive testimonies of killings of thousands of civilians in the streets and homes shut. bodies riley is not a post or targeted by as rarely artillery shells while their bodies will jump to the streets and days passed without them being recovered. these killings and field executions, all one of the types of how refit violations practiced by israeli forces in areas open codes and which includes floating, intimidation, arbitrary arrest, torture,

and widespread destruction without any necessity or proportionality. some very difficult allegations that now the, your a med report. steve also takes aim at some of the international organizations that are currently operating in garza. and what exactly does the report say apply with those groups? well, the families and the survivors have appealed to the international committee of the red cross to evacuate them to save their lives. but you are a made your image, i think very critical of the organization. i searched it to quote, show that it's responsibilities and listen to the appeal was, is accused of read costs of refusing to help displace the people including women. it's also being very critical of is why, which it says has a duty as an occupying power to provide medical aid and assistance. so new roommate is coding for an international probably been to white describes,

is the risk klein's committee find these way the defense full is, of course many of describing what's happening in gaza as a, a genocide. the author, he has requested comment from post the id f, and you are a med, i both have yet to respond. the ne applicant edition of ethiopia has been building a down on the nile, the egypt says, cuz the cutoff crucial flows are fresh voltage. the country, yeah. no surprise. both nations have been trading blame for a breakdown in tulips over the project of corresponding, none of we're coming gay takes a closer look. are among the complications of the long disagreements between egypt, ethiopia, and sudan over the grad. if the open renaissance down on denial is that everyone involved has legitimate concerns. the dispute over the project is part of the long standing feud between downstream nations, egypt and sedan, and those up stream, particularly if the ot us what access to the knobs water, which is considered

a lifeline for millions of people living in egypt and students. i forget the old yes, the purpose of the dad is electricity production to re live it the o. p as acute image and shortage. but egypt which already suffers from all to squalls between them is considered a metal life. and at the same time, if the o p a has a certain, it's right to use water, that's a versus it's 10 retreat saying that it isn't applied to negotiate with a new one and a choose. is it a bringing a colonial mindsets to negotiations on the operation of the day? it's a has historical precedent as treating the knowledge as a phone from treaties would then colonial pow wow. great britain, as well as to then to direct submitted to the threats i gazed at the okay. yeah. if you continues to reject the age of threatening tone, but is it took me into pursuing a hostile attitude to a regional is true. oh, is it a frantic efforts to preserve its water supply?

because it just escalated this quote to the international community to get involved at some point with the united states threatening to withhold development aid through your if the dispute is not the result, add an agreement, reached the onto the escalates attentions and the complexity of politics among the now countries a key concern for the continent to full time, and then the typical power to things that africa needs the most, many of pin the hopes in power generation and kind of make developments. but it continues to feel the deb. this obviously attached as one of the hops menu on the applicant, continental stating that the project is not just the damn to generate electricity, is rather a development that will once again bring back. the reach is glorious history. all the while h upstairs to move is a violation of international lawyers and rooms that regulate projects, bolts on the shade basis of international rivers, including the 9. what is,

is that it is not a race between countries most in need of war, total power sources. but able to fix the question of with the dam is both a vital and threatening to fuel to add it to respective while the war and gaza, it basically shows no sign of stopping the israeli and palestinian ambassadors tonight. jerry, i have opened up direct dialogue to discuss the current will. however, that published remarks indicate a broad divide between both sides is still too large to build any meaningful bridges. a local correspondent timothy obeys. it was a bit more from a butcher. recently very, it's rarely and palestinian ambassadors to nigeria. michael fremont and i'm dallas showers, participate in a dialogue to discuss the ongoing conflicts in guys, out between israeli defense forces and for a minute and group from mass bmw of the meeting organized by nigeria, media center for development and drop her based west africa, democracy radio east to negotiate

a common ground for peace between the warring parties. the median also looked of the consequences of the complex for africa. during the meeting, the ambassadors expressed their commitment to a peaceful coexistence, but they insisted starting conditions needed to be met prior. ceasing fires a possibility, but the release of kidnapped victims is non negotiable if i'm off genuinely desires and, and to the conflict they must commit to a long term. so sation not a temporary pause for regrouping and subsequent attacks. these really set to is a responsible for the horrifying acts of burning and burying palestinians. the claim of widespread rape is baseless and on true country to the fact we stand resilience against attempts to eradicate this from a land. a struggle dating back to 1917. we will not succumb this road declared war in gaza after on october 7th attack on south and east or if i have mass but to the

1200 people. the militant group also took more than 200 hostages weeks of intense fighting and israel's heavy bombardment of guys, or has killed more than 92000 palestinians, according to health authorities fast. the united nation says 1000 small buried under ramos is rarely i'm positive also says it's been 1st needs to condemn the october 7th attack and, and i'm alleged education of children to cuba. choose to show readiness for peace stokes on the spot showers proposed an independent inquiry commission to investigate the war crimes and arched the involvement from the african union and the international criminal port finish. are you able to use the computer of the online dialogue? oh is for thinking, what do we do to contribute to ensure that there is a peaceful,

at least we talk about peace. there it was a little bit difficult trying to get the word proctors because before no, no go to nor platform have be able to bring this boxes together side by side speaking the truth, i'm try to invest on each other. so they have a divided reliance mall of to try the line is done and come on best for us, we teach to come on grow. because if i have from the previous things are designed to, but one thing that is your mind to use if you have a piece of begin to look at those things, doesn't matter how you compute on the meanwhile, have mass political liter visit at egypt on wednesday. i made intense talks on a new ceasefire. the visit comes off like ease ro, proposed a ceasefire in exchange for the release of about 40 hostages, tennessee,

abusing our job nigeria. or before you were helping us out as program. how about this one, a holiday festival of a cool gaze, set of noble russian estates in the moscow region. have a look at this side of the event was for dogs and their owners to get together celebrate the holiday season. with that bit of a fairy tale theme stage on the grounds of an historic minor but served as a country home for the russian aristocracy during the times of bizarre. the facilities including a big race for these a short legged guys, a christmas market as well. and of course jim contest if he wasn't entirely surprised by more pictures from about to i to come for the meantime. that's the program for now. um i caught a quote on how mommy is here at hoffman. i was time to take you into a sunday evening. i do hope you can join him soon. hope.
