bald or killed or losing any of your beloved this is not really something that anyone would love to experience of course roger can you describe for me what a day looks like there now for you and your your children how are you spending the hours. well or the day they're not during the day it seems to be a very short time when the sun rises until it goes down it's a very short time we don't feel it is just that and when the night comes it's like thousands of years because we just each minute passes we just feel are like an hour. we are terrified by the bombings they really target all of the palestinian with in gaza they target them mostly of the night as a way of terrifying kids they know it's dark there we have no electricity or any

light so they target us in the 9th took to spread horror among the children are among others among everyone. during the day we're trying to act normal do our normal things do our cooking cleaning and everything but we can't stop we can't help being worried all the time we just in constant horror call sickly that's the word rush i know there's a huge amount going on there right now what are your biggest worries is it the as strikes or is that what we're hearing about these potential food shortages the medical supplies i know there's a lot to think about but what is your main concern at the moment. look look i live in the besieged gaza we've been in a bloke a for about 15 years now with fault food shortage with water shortages no explicit whatsoever i'm not worried about any of those things i'm just worried about one day

i just wake up and i lose one of my kids i don't care about myself either i just don't want to lose any of my kids you know i want to tell you something that most not most every single family and gaza does now they also leave at the same place at night we all gather ourselves and sleep at the same place and the same rule you know why this is so good to say i'm so sad to say but i'm going to say it anyway because we don't want to wake up like. us are alive and the others are dead if you're about to die or for her to die we're all of us together no one would ever have to live to lauren the other one this is really sad what i'm telling you and it's a true fact each family here does that us and i do it i go there my children and put them around me and sleep so that i can feel them all around me without being worried about them in groups roger i'm sorry sorry to hear that and to hear about

what you think going through raja average us of there and gaza telling us about what's been happening on the ground there thank you so much for being with us during this difficult time in the fire and your family or the best thanks again. well as we've just been hearing that ongoing violence has completely disrupted the lives of many palestinians in gaza the u.n. says more than 52000 have been displaced after israeli air strikes wrecked at least 4450 buildings including several hospitals dozens of schools housing displaced families were also hit and the power supply has now been limited to around 6 to 8 hours a day 2 thirds of the population was already suffering from food shortages before these latest attacks the world food program says it will need an extra $32000000.00 to provide aid for palestinians over the next 6 months rights groups say water scarcity and unsanitary conditions could also lead to another and $1000.00 infections only 5 percent of people in palestinian territories have been vaccinated

. let's now bring in our guests in gaza we have mathias he is the director of gaza operations for the un's palestine refugees relief agency or era in occupied east jerusalem one paris is a cycle interest with doctors without borders and in doha ibrahim freiheit is an associate professor and conflict resolution at the doha institute for graduate studies thanks all and welcome to the program now i want to start with you juan because i've been seeing these photographs of what's happened to one of your clinics in gaza thankfully though with no casualties i understand we've also heard that captures red crescent offices in gaza were bombed they're saying they were actually targeted 2 doctors were killed i believe in the last round of deaths over the last day or so can i ask you do you and your colleagues feel like you're being targeted there. thanks for having me 1st of all. we cannot say that we were

there at the targeted in this bombing but we can very directly say that all our clinics and this includes residences offices clinics. are under the knowledge of the israeli defense forces so they know the coordinates they know the exact locations so even if they are not targeting us they know very well that they could damage or hurt anybody within our clinics with any bombing that occurred near or at the. clinic that you make reference to has been rendered initially not a not functional and in a normal day in which it would have been operational it would have people in the waiting room and the people working in the station that were at the that's not say the people around it and that same bombing in which we were not attacked but to dr side. well the ts and just tending to your agency looks after i believe more than

5 and a half 1000000 palestinians how you'll facilities in an operational holding up. we are under severe pressure like the population here you know we are now in the 8 or 9 day of war to me it feels like a full scale war and we have had our installations affected so early this morning at 6 o'clock i'm talking to you from our office where i'm also currently sleeping with my international colleagues we had a massive explosion strike an explosion just across the road 15 meters away and further damaged the perimeter wall if you walk through our compound here you will see lots of debra's lying around i went into one office where there was a big stone underneath a desk which came flying through the roof if the colleague who really occupies that desk would have been there she would have for sure been killed and from this morning strike quite close to it is a school where some of the 50000 plus people that are seeking

a safe haven with us. and in some of its solar panels were hit so you know it is installation terms hitting us directly of course the big drama is the lives of people we've had more than 50 children killed since this started and 18 of them at least with children at all 278 schools so it hits home very directly a senior colleague of mine had her sister and the daughter of their sister killed in an airstrike you know there are many many dramatic stories to be told and behind this i have gotten messages like we heard from all the people that feeling just absolutely terrified sleeping together so that they can die together if that needs to happen so this is a state of war and this has to stop we have to have a cease fire the price for the civilian population. i'm except.

just hearing there from the tears about the children i do want to be abraham we saw a very powerful piece from one of our reporters at the beginning of the show talking about how this is really impacted the children that the most vulnerable here schools and shelters have also as mathias was saying been reduced to rubble abraham how do you think this shapes the generation and their politics. well this is a really important question because i mean this is not something to date this has all started back in 2007 when israel was a better stake located on the gaza strip so what we are seeing today is. in fact a continuation of the policy that stopped the over 15 years ago and this to answer a question is raising a generation of for 15 years students that are not in touch with the rest of the words there are people that hardly leave the gaza strip the. crossing is closed

most of the time so there is their leader and their life has been shaped by this environment the conflict that what we're seeing this is not also the 1st war with saying there was another war in 2000 and 4 pm there was another one in 2009 in addition of course to all the other incidents there of the assassinations the killing and no leaving just a split about being part of the whole this is reality so this is definitely we are this is extremely concerning of what we're seeing a generation vehemently is the 3rd generation in such an environment which shapes their thinking and then views of the world and then of use of you know how the wind is responding to their desires has a better crisis at the moment even you are mentioning that the russia crossing and the blockade now i want to take a look at a map of gaza it only says on board as

a theory just an israel and crossings are limited there are only 3 he's confirming now israel controls tell us then palestinians who want to pass 3 months of penance but that there is difficult to get now dejection government has recently reopened the rafa border crossing at the bottom of your screen that's and main exit point for most. people who are living in gaza and it's been using it to send ambulances and medicine and food supplies to the palestinians and fuel and goods passed usually through the karama abu salim border crossing on tuesday israel said it would open that crossing to aid that's only for goods though and as of tuesday it hasn't yet open to the erez crossing that would be for people and humanitarian stuff it's now been more than a week since it closed that border now the un was very vocal in calling for these crossings to be opened and has also criticized just how long it's taken saying that this was very different from how it was handled back during the 2014 gaza war so mathias i'll ask you to respond to that how is it different. well my understanding

is i wasn't here in 2410 but my understanding is that very early on in the 1st couple of days there was agreement between and send israel that there would be humanitarian corridors as they're referred to so bolts within gaza that would be you know a lot of in-fighting where people could move to do some shopping and where you humanitarians could do outdrawn get to our installations and so on as well as humanitarian crossing corridors across the border to bring in people and goods and move some people out and as you mentioned this is now day 8 or 9 and we haven't had this opening this morning apparently some fuel trucks came in but the true trucks were turned around and we have not yet been able to bring in search capacity that includes medical personnel to help at the hospitals but also other people to help with security and other matters the most important consequence of all of this or

impact of all of this will be soon running out of food running out of fuel we heard from rajab earlier that there is little electricity if there's no fuel supplies quickly electricity will be down even further and of course essential truth supplies we will then see the population suffering even more than it already is i'm on the tail said talking about food supplies and potential shortages i'm curious it's not just about access to food the right the world food program is already why that prices are going to skyrocket as long as there are shortages and i imagine there are not just economic ramifications here but also those in times of anger and desperation within the community that how will that play out do you think one. just. as we usually talk about this. type of crisis that unfolds and the moments in which the bombs start falling down after the bombs still persist and people the

survivors the lucky survivors still have to live with a war torn country in a war torn society in which it still others are killed and which most of its support structures both social medical and otherwise are. have come undone after so much pressure both from the occupation the blockade and the repeated bombardment so people are left in survival in constant survival mode and this brings about reactions that are just in alignment with agger is the at the forefront at times but. knowing the palestinian population there's also amazing amount and surprising amount of cricket nets and wish for life wish to push on. abraham i'm curious in your mind as you watch all of this play out what do you think israel's strategy is here we've seen the destruction of humanitarian facilities that prompted even more international outrage in some of these other talk about attacks or is this collateral and by the same token how is hamas viewing all of this as they see the

suffering around them. well we are to see it get on but all the signs that your question about israel's policy. dealing with the crisis in gaza the very best thing actually we are seeing a click to punish that is using as a right. on hamas and all the other political factions as disheartened that basically we have seen the. collective punishment. apologise it just clicks the punishment of leases like the talent that has been. bombing including. one of the towers that's housing media outlets like of just the focus of the press which is totally no one understands why it is like look august something like that knowing that there are little military addicts in these places and also the international media has spoken out about this but this was not

listening and doesn't think is that all the families that are being displaced these places. that have no shelter no no place to go to and again as a question to do in order to do to punish that and violence goggles there the factions hamas and other put together faction bit we also see targeted. of the military and that's really but it's not a given political and military leaders also that they are are getting as the as in a number of places and then when able to. do you know assassinate a number of mass military leaders but the fact of the matter i guess is that we are. 2000000 people. under british rule book you show bombarded discriminately in order to achieve certain

goals political and military goals that have been by the way is like an evil to achieve animal because now if all my dues in the war we are seeing that would be doing i think and response from. the same exact. i'm just going to stop you there because i do want to bring the conversation just back to the aid and humanitarian situation obviously that the politics is ongoing and that that fighting looks set to continue for some time i want to focus on the politicization of the aid aspect on the humanitarian aspect here. i know that your agency has been massively underfunded for many years especially since 2018 when the trumpet ministration withdrew their funding i believe the bind of ministration has now pledged something like 150000000 just last month but that's premised on a policy of neutrality and i know you agency also faced criticism from the european parliament just

a few weeks ago for. what they described as teaching and disseminating hate speech and encouraging violence within your school i'd like to ask you to respond to that and also to reflect on how the political situation is is shaping the way that your agency actually functions. thank you let me 1st of all respond very directly to this specific point of you know and preaching hatred you know anti semitism in our 278 schools 427-8000 children 085000 children and 285000 children there is no evidence for that that is just an unfounded allegation you know i have not met a single visit from 2 who's gone to our schools who's come away not impressed with the quality of the education but also with the mindset and attitude of the children and you know that's one point we over this last year when we were in covert so often in lockdown and be children learning at home the british council awarded

$45.00 obama schools an international school award and 3 elements of that as as they assessed that was international understanding and promotional sheets and spread talking here young girls poem is exhibited in the u.s. national park so i think the politicization of age here has to do with not recognizing that the u.n. actually provides a unique opportunity 428-5000 children to be exposed to an international global values we're trying to turn them into some kind of global citizenship and if that gets destroyed then we will lose big time it links to an earlier question in terms of impact on young generations you know so you need to maintain an independent view and presence here under these difficult circumstances juan i'm going to give you the last wed here as an aid agency representative there with with

your. offices in 10 x. and gaza we know that things are really tough in hospitals we know that there's blood that's then on the ground feel the sand on the ground hospital surprised and on the ground as an organization that is working with people in gaza right now what is your message to israel and your message to hamas. to stop the bombardment as soon as possible to find a way and not only for a peaceful world but to allow the hope to come in and we've been the whole day expecting standby to come into gaza were reports means were coming in with surgeons but nurses were quitman but. we need to get this to be boards when it's possible we need to be able to assure that people can access are going expand those bits of the you know hope services we need to. we need to be able to persist on our usual cost we need to be able to provide people access surgeries to blood transfusions to

usual services the usual health care. to cement the whole support to just all we're all here by their own society but if you're going to stages that we've been pushing all of those lines you could sense i guess i would about seeing a population want to mathias we wish you all the best with your walk and also thank you to all of our guests. paris and abraham fry out and thank you too for watching you can see this program again any time by visiting our website that's al-jazeera dot com and have had the discussion do go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com for slash a.j. and side story and you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle is at a.j. inside story after meanest and the whole team here and i thank you. i . the usa is always of infected people all around the world this has been going on
