12:00 am
conflict. thank you very much indeed, the holiday, abu shan, for sure your thoughts with us here and under 0 and you on your entire. this is our very watching us that live from london. it's a update you now on what's happened in the past couple of hours or israel and palestinian groups have agreed to cease 5. it's expected to come into effect at $23.00, g m t. although there were reports that israel is yet to agree to a time, the deal was broken by the gyptian government, a hamas official confirm the deal as a quote mutual and simultaneous truce with israel. these are pictures of gaza since the truce was announced. there been more israeli strikes and rockets far towards ash, cologne in israel. the in the past 24 hours to crowded refugee camp home to tens of thousands of people came under attack
12:01 am
from israel. israel, yes, strikes 200. 33 palestinians have been killed in the israeli offensive that began last week. 65 of them children. oh, this is basheba in the south of israel where several people were injured earlier. rockets were far towards ask along, causing damage. that is really media says that been going on at port has been closed in fear of an attack before any truce can take effect altogether. 12 people have been killed in israel, and the last 11 days, 2 of them children, that's going to hold up to him. he didn't occupied east jerusalem. so the, the news of sci fi has come through, and yet we don't have much information on how it's coming back and who's had to give what ground, if any now we don't have any information at all except for the fact that israel said that the cease fire was unconditional,
12:02 am
whereas from home, as we, as yet to hear from the leadership inside garza. but what we heard from one of the senior officials in beirut is that how much had received guarantees that what he called the aggression in a most complex ad in the ship, there's a rock neighborhood will stop. this is all we know so far. we also know that, as you said earlier, that sees fire should start in about 2 hours a to a, to a m local time. $2300.00 g m t, and that's about it really. egypt egyptian media has also announced the seats via it had actually also said that egypt will be dispatching to security delegation $1.00 to $1.00, to the palestinian in the coming days to hash out the details of the fire. and to find the mechanism to make it to make it be durable. this is all we know so far
12:03 am
as we speak now is renewed sort of firing in both directions. but that is actually oddly enough, a normal pattern in the previous wars. each time there was a cease fire agreed upon. well in the last hours leading to that time we had every new firing in both directions. i think both sides wanting to show that they will keep the pressure until the very last minute. tell us a bit a bit about the, the background when, when this conflict is particular cycle of violence started up this time round, there was a lot of talk with in israel, of kind of fears of potentially civil war because of the, into camino violence that was happening and, and that israel was kind of concerned about how much is that played into the way israel is handled at this time round. i think certainly it did take the israel by surprise,
12:04 am
especially the intensity of that interracial fighting that we've seen this sort of tension and unrest of the scene in many cities, particularly in the north of the country. i think no one expected it to be to that degree. there are several other things in the equations here. i mean, been doing it now is at the moment caretaker prime minister, he does have to deal also with domestic politics. he did make some political gaze during this war because whenever there is a war on guys, well, he does get a lot of popular support, especially from the communities in the south of israel. those bordering garza but lately also because the fire power of how much has become more longer has a longer range. well that he's getting more support also in the north. so he probably wants to also bank on all of that as quickly as possible to try to be,
12:05 am
to really sorry to be able to for another go a government or to try to read have sort of save his political career because a lot of there was a lot of speculation that he might have reached the end of that that i mean the time being. thank you very much indeed. and that's good. now, to garza and under serious stuff. what collude has there been any more firing at the moment where you will? yes, so few minutes ago the fighting get they carried out several attacks empty and the southern of the gaza strip, specifically. and each of which is it is a border area and it's an open field. and normally these fields are open are normally also no casualties. there they had some, maybe some logistics or some good these places apart from that 2 hours
12:06 am
ago, they weren't one of the buildings in the city in the center of gun city to evacuate because they, according to the, what the owner of the building said, the point that they will destroy it, but they have not really, they mean to have not been bothered this building get. on the other hand, we will hear the declaration of the spokesperson of somebody gave a beta, as he said that the accepted magician for the fire on they will keep observing aly commitment. that is really commitment case. they are committed or graded or committed, they will, they will respect it otherwise, but roger's over ok are ready. ton by to be fired. but i will cover all of it according to the book, special over by veda because of a, the so that was the last wording message from, from the books, but sort of the fight in groups because he speak in the name of all the policy in
12:07 am
and fighting groups also there was a call by the policy and other of the old policy and fighting groups to go for random. but i live in the state of god to step to celebrate what they call it a victory. and they will rally these rallies, will pass by the destroy places on what they call it. also the houses of the martyrs who were, who were killed during the living days of israel escalation. and so there will be kind of celebration and the gaza strip. if this cease, fire is respected on come on, comes into force. and in the meantime, the, the last few days left a trail of destruction and they took us through the, the situation for access to water power. and for instance, telecoms. how is the situation on the ground today, we deployed several places all over the gaza strip, including jamalia and jer,
12:08 am
buddy. or if you come in, the north of got the slip on. also the soft area guys, or city we have been, we have been watching most of the areas that were bon bonded. we could see huge destruction in several places. if not only the residential buildings that they need to be fixed under built, but also the municipality of god. they told us hundreds of meter or thousands of meters of water sewage network, cellular network. internet network also has been damaged and they will have these, these damages cause a serious shortages of water supply and even the sewage networks definitely about pushing until into the sea. the humanitarian crisis also will appear
12:09 am
seriously after the si, fi come into force are implemented because everybody will try to go specifically those who were replaced from their homes, the border they will when they go back to their homes on there is fear, the most of them they lost, according to what they said. they lost their homes or the homes there are destroyed, which will, according to them, will take them time to rebuild them. also that humanitarian crisis in gaza after 12 days of israeli cross closure for the crossings. specifically cut him. it's the only provided over humanitarian elements, including food medicine, milk, everything. so we could observe that there is the shortage begun and the humanitarian organizations also the appealing for fees, fire, or for at least short carlos to provide or to bring these essential elements
12:10 am
needed for them. to distribute the for the people, people are staying home for 12 days. they used to change all the daily behavior in, according to the emergency conditions during 12 days of escalation. so it will, it will take time to rebuild the health sector. according to the health ministry will take time to rebuild the infrastructure according to a related other official, the ministry of housing. they said 40000 the housing unit has been destroyed on some other thousands, partially damaged. busy the period after the end of the escalation, they will find more difficulty in bringing the support the fund on the construction material. that's what happened after 2014. it took it in time, though,
12:11 am
of 2014. it took it in time to agree and reach agreements with alias to bring back the construction material to start to start the construction process. some people remained without homes 40 years until they had to spend most of the time in rented apartments or to seek donation or help from a monetary organization, including the united nation. and he mentioned the united nations has been a lot of talk about, you know, trying to come up with a 1st settlement of the palestinian issue beyond this particular part of the conflict beyond these 11 days in any sci fi. now, people that do they have any hope that there will be a long term resolution of the conflict coming out of this well, and 10 years for, for waters. they believe people who they believe that this area without reaching a real political agreement based on mutual respect for right,
12:12 am
they believe that this area will continue with the company. i mean, the conflict will continue in this place. of course they are fully hope, as we are in my way to the, to the to the office here. i mentioned many people walking. there will be, there will be real fire if there will be a real calmness. ok. of course everybody here seeks the stability, seeks real agreement that will bring a real rice for them real freedom because people here most of the population of god, by the way, have never been outside god because of long term siege, imposed by all the from all the directions including the israeli. so people seek freedom, they seek good future. by the way, thousands of palestinians in gaza. they fled from god seeking a bit of life and, and europe and other parts of the, of the world. because of the, the,
12:13 am
the 100 sees that destroyed the future of the policy and use, use it specifically 250000 university graduate in gaza without jobs. which is the real power for the muscle as they call them, muscle on mind of god that when she the nuclear, we plan for gods and as they call it, also the spirit 250000. if they find the real life on the table life, what good political agreement, they will 10 gods as they most of them say they give us the opportunity will turn it together to think up or so. yes, there is hope for a good for a better future, but this future needs a real political agreement, according to, to the people here. thank you very much indeed. i keep elda is a political analysts joins us from televi. thank you very much for being with us.
12:14 am
or the ceasefire has been announced and both sides appear to think that it's happening. what's your impression as to what grounds is being given on what side now? well, we about to see the psychological war starting actually it already started who was winning the this round of guardian of the was the hamas is already taking credit for taking full guarding the walls of jerusalem. it wasn't just about the war in gaza or in the valley south, or inside as well. this is a war about jerusalem. it started in jerusalem. and as long as we don't find a settlement for jerusalem foil ox, it's just a matter of time until there will be the next trial. now the question is
12:15 am
who paid a higher price? we just heard the price that the people in gaza were paying. but the others who paid the price, including boomers in including the partners to the also agreement. and if you look at the abrahamic court between is well and countries in the gulf, in morocco, i'm not sure if this is the same. it's going to be the same kind of relationship was, is where the jewish traveling they will not feel safe. and on top of everything, i think that these rarely strategy which was divided between but a senior communities in gaza in the west bank as it is right or proper has failed for the 1st time in many years after we believe that the wounds
12:16 am
between israeli and robs is proper, started healing, they open the game, there is no sci fi between the majority of these where these and these really minority. and i think that natalia also is about to lose his partner's from the erotic are right. who very unhappy was deceased. they believe that this is going to be, or they wanted us to believe that this is going to be a game changer. we're going to get the bodies of the soldiers and the to missing is vantage back. would that didn't happen? so we already started also the blame game and the game of taking credit for the so called victory and turned in. what do you think is going to happen politically with newton, yahoo? and who would that leave in charge to think in order to try and achieve what people have been talking about so much today is kind of possible long term is resolution
12:17 am
and attempts to revive the piece process. first of all, i believe that once they seize fire will turn into reality because usually everybody is trying to gain some more points until the last minute. but let's assume that the see fire is this time is serious, and it's going to take longer before we will see the next round, then maybe even tomorrow. starting next week, we will see the political negotiations between la b and his partner resuming. and it might be that you can, you know, will not be able to gain more time,
12:18 am
which he did in the last 10 days in order to undermine, let be efforts to form a blog that will be able to remove him from power. so the question is, what is the now that these rarely public opinion is going to buy. whether it's the know that the government wants to to sell, which is that this was the last round and we crashed to her mosque. and we, the exclusive winners of this was all the narrative of the opposition and narrative because of, of the come on that the israeli strong army, one of the strongest army in the world, wasn't able to protect these rarely civilians. even in tel aviv against what we
12:19 am
believe is it always group. so the, the narrative is now what i said before is going to be part of the psychological war. who will be able to market is now better than the other. and on, on that, so logical side of things what, what's your impression of what people think of the underlying issues and whether that's something that they, you know that they are they now going to focus on that as it's kind of long term go for resolving it or do you think that it will always end up being back to the kind of short term concerns about security? i believe that the seas fire happened after nathan. yeah. realize that is well has exhausted the international support. this war. we had no re foreign ministers visiting israel, including the german for mister germany is considered to be
12:20 am
a close friend of israel and he didn't. i. is this a distraction with the ongoing war? it is clear to the right public opinion in biden put his foot down in order to, to stop the war. and now it depends much on the international community, especially on the new administration, is where i got used to the full honeymoon years with president trump. and the game changer now was the american attempt for the 1st time to dictate a new policy. and i can add to that we now may be and this depends on the united states, is maybe the senior already and muslim is you will be able now to
12:21 am
convince the americans this was the 1st time that he got calls from washington, that the game was how much should be over and is what it has partners for bees. but we need 3 to this tangle. we need to colossians these ladies who are winning the doses various and it's not met on, you know, who are willing to compromise. and we need an honest broker facilitator that will boots on the ground and come here and do what other american presidents, well, at least attempting to do, which is to reduce ca otherwise is just as i said before, a measure of time before we will see more fatalities, more casualties, and more babies crying for help. i give l to thank you very much indeed, fertile interests on under 0. gabriel is under his in washington dc for us,
12:22 am
and gabriel understand that we expect to hear from president biden on the middle east. we are, we have not heard anything from the white house or president biden since the announcement of the cease fire. however, that is about to change. the white house announcing that at $545.00 washington time that's about there are 25 minutes from now. 2145 g m t or about 12 45 in the morning until a lever garza, that is when president buyer will be making an announcement and addressing the situation and the ceasefire from the white house. we don't know exactly what he is going to be talking about, per se. we don't know if you'll be taking questions, but we do expect that this will be the 1st time we will hear from biden. since the the cease fire announcement we did, we do know that biden has been increasing the pressure over the last few days
12:23 am
on netanyahu trying to de escalate the situation. but the white house was careful on how they worded it, in terms of pressuring demanding a ceasefire. or encouraging a cease fire, but we do know that by spoke to netanyahu 4 times since the conflict began the last time being on wednesday. and the white house had been increasing the pressure on that yahoo to de escalate and bring some sort of conclusion to this. and clearly it looks like this cease fire is probably going to be viewed favorably by the white house. the white house has been working with egypt, jordan, and cut our 3 countries that the white house is long considered. there are critical in reaching some sort of cease fire or de escalation. clearly it's going to be interesting to see what present by and has to say in a little over 20 minutes from now. when he makes a statement about the cease fire. gabriel is on to thank you very much. we'll come
12:24 am
back to you later on. then. thanks. are you in the general assembly has been meeting for our 7 hours or so on the ongoing conflict and gaza representatives from around the world and been speaking about the latest escalation and violence between israel ham us and its allied groups. several for ministers were pushing procedures, fire of meeting for days of israel's main ally, the u. s. blocking efforts at the un security council to agree on a resolution calling for an end toss trinity's. when you're in 60 general, antonio terrorist opened the meeting with this urgent appeal. the fighting must stop immediately. i appeal to all parties to see, to see so still it is now. and i right to right my call on all sides for an immediate cease fires. you'll still have cause serious damage to vital civilian infrastructure in gaza, including roads and electricity lines contributing to your manufacturing emergency . crossing into gas had been closed and par shortage is affecting water supplies.
12:25 am
under the billions buildings and homes have been destroyed, damaged, or randall and inevitable air strikes and damage. several hospitals, which would already short of supplies with the use of the building, thinking closures existed, waited by the coffee in 1900 pandemic. this goes to a christine salumi at the united nations and we heard from the chickens, didn't we? with news of that sci fi we did, they were one of 9 d plus countries and regional groups who signed up to speak in this emergency session of the general assembly, which was convened with the main goal of achieving an immediate cease fire. and so that was welcome news for the egyptian ambassador, but only part of the story. a lot of the speakers focused on the disproportionate
12:26 am
results on the palestinians. they are the unfolding humanitarian crisis and also on the need to address the underlying issues for the palestinians, namely their lack of an independent state, their lack of rights. here's a listen to what the chips and baset are had to say. mister president. mister, by way of conclusion, egypt confirms on the basis of its historic responsibilities with regard to the palestinian question that we will miss you all efforts. and we will provide much our full capacities and efforts to ensure that the call to new people can enjoy security peace and stability in the within a palestinian state home. the lines of the 4th of june, 967 with east jerusalem as its capital
12:27 am
said. i should also point out that this meeting was called after 11 days of conflict. at least 4 meetings of the security council during which at least 2 statements were proposed and one resolution was proposed, all which led to essentially no outcome from the security council. this put the united states on the defensive and the united states remains on the defensive a bit here at the united nations as we are hearing just now from the egyptian and from other from the egyptian ambassador. he also called for a resumption of peace talks in under the guidance of the middle east quartet, which would also require the united states involvement to advance on any of these out standing issues that could lead to a permanent solution for the palestinians. and israelis, christians, you, me, thank you very much. indeed. our senior political analyst among the shower is live in doha, much to pick up on something. one of our interview is wrong that perhaps the
12:28 am
perhaps mahmoud abbas is actually one of the beneficiaries of this sci fi and the kind of intervention of the bought an administration who did what do you make of that? absolutely not the 1st time. it's kind of paradoxes, right? i mean, he's been sleeping at the will not for a couple of weeks in fact, for a month and a half of hardly heard anything from him. but clearly he could be. and as i said, this happened for a number of times, including during the fact that i'm after that, but somehow it tends to win by losing he's been marginalized by, by this popular people and the, and masters conflict. and yet when it comes to diplomacy, it's been a long time since how much has basically outsourced the negotiation to that the low
12:29 am
agreed to it. and the piano remains the sole until like a 3rd with international communities including with those are and when it comes to peace talks. and i do think now that there is more serious talk about 3 engaging diploma think to find a solution that's of course the low would be the address for that. whether it's our bus personally or not, we will see the late, sorry about a car. of course there's no longer with us. and he was that the person in charge of the negotiations for good to decades. so now we're probably going to need, you know, like that. and others that probably a new generation of palestinians will need to engage or with, with a fresh approach to what, what will take and let me tell you why say that because i do actually believe, lauren, that by then does have something unique that others does
12:30 am
not have serving with obama in the obama administration. he was able, along. busy with the president to. busy reach 2 agreements with 2 of america, nemesis, notably the stomach republic of iran and castro's communist scuba. so here are 2 countries that the united states demonized for good, you know, half a century budget when the time come in, there was a way to do it. there was a way to talk competition and the united states was able to, in fact reach a deal with both countries. and it started another piece, negotiations with the funny bud gun stuff. and that's what concludes concluded recently. so the united states, in fact, over the last decade, reached 3 agreements with 3 of america. nemesis casters go by, i follow iran and the thought about and i've got why wouldn't by then be able to
12:31 am
take this experience and apply it and palestine. everything with her today from this area and bassett, there's more eyes and mice and the stallions. this could easily be put aside because come on, i mean how much there's nothing like the taliban, it's certainly less conservative or less violent, less radical. and so can they, more of, you know, national movement when the ridges undertones and clearly how much is as already taking the back seat for yellow to take, to take on the negotiations if anyone is extreme and all the scheme is, of course israel and nathan got home, but again, they are the clients of the united states and a biden should be able to exercise enough pressure on that. so i think there are a good number of elements that are already there in order for the binding administration to start to start the process. and hopefully the process when
12:32 am
will moderate the positions in israel and palestine that it will maybe soften the hearts of people in palestine and bring in that kind of leadership that will extra a just fair solution that will end occupation and bring the palestinians the, the freedom that they have longed for, for decades. you mentioned in passing the biden's relationship with iran, at least the kind of the, the attempts to resolve that particular issue. and he's at the moment trying to revive the iran nuclear deal with talks in vienna. how much can this, the situation in, in palestine, israel play into that, to attempt to revive the iran nuclear deal? i think the, the good thing have for their nuclear, the,
12:33 am
that it is not simply an american during india. this is an international deal that has already been enshrined in the un security council solution. this is the 5 plus one. this is the 5 better math number of the united nations plus germany that have conducted them reach an agreement with iran or be it negotiated by biden's by obama secretary of state jim kerry. so, so this did i think now that the united states has the world to go back to it to reengage. i've seen pictures even today of rob malley the especially whatever one you know, return to re engage and so on, so forth. so i think that's force coming and i think there's nothing but math and you know it's going to be able to do to stop die, certainly not after the kind of help he got some by the end of the last the last 2 weeks. so it, as far as i can see, the saudis have already torn down their oppositions. i think these areas have been
12:34 am
kinda quiet the last 4 months since by the re engage with their needs. and i think that dean is probably only a question of time. now and thank you very much indeed and just have a quick look at the images from gaza at the moment and piss become at the moment in the couple of hours until that cease fire supposed to start up. but as our correspondents have noted in the past before, si, size is often been uptick in the violence of both sides trying to make maximum gains before the si, fi kicks in. it seems at the moment though it is quiet, and that's bringing our correspondent up to her majors and occupied east jerusalem at the moment looking as though perhaps a quiet edge towards that seat. yeah, it seems to be so as say, my quiet edge,
12:35 am
i would say there have been according to this app that everyone in israel follows, which is called red alert. it's been quite a few rockets fired from guys up most of them intercepted by the iron dome defense system. but in general, quite quiet on this side of the border. there has been some res in guys itself, but certainly not the intensity we have seen over the past few days now we're an hour and a half away from this is fire. things good, flare up again. but i think every now everyone on either side or bracing themselves that in 90 minutes or so they could maybe have a sigh of relief. but even though every cease fire has been quite wobbly, at least in its very early stages, tell us a little bit about the egyptian ro in all of this. and the possibility that they will be monitoring the seas hard some way. while egypt
12:36 am
has been playing a very active and quite significant role throughout these 10 days of, of violence. and this we're trying to come at a 2 sided has really mediated between the 2 sides because israel and have us do not speak to each other. so egypt did say that it will send very soon to security, delegations went to israel and went to the palestinian territories. where in the occupied wes back and began this trip. i think that the role of the geisha will be just sort of hammer out the details of this, these fire. we don't know what are these details? israel says that it's mutual and unconditional. how much is saying that it has received guarantees that the tensions in most compound and interests
12:37 am
will diminish. but apart from that, we don't know in the long term what it means, i am pretty sure that how much will be asking, for example, for some things that can be done immediately like opening the areas border crossing of for people to go in opening dig. karen salad crossing for the money, terry and a to go in, but probably both sides are seeking something more. in all of this. we simply don't know the details as yet in the past when they've been si size. i suppose that one of the questions then can reconstruction, particularly for gallons or after the, the kind of destruction there. some talk already of money coming in from the $500000000.00. i think it was mentioned at the u and by the egyptians for reconstruction. what is the kind of scale of what needs to be done? well, i think, i mean from what we've seen and what, what we've heard from our reporters on the ground, the, the,
12:38 am
the damage to the infrastructure is pretty significant. now you have to remember that this is not the 1st war, and this is the 4th was in a little over in a decade. so each time guys find itself on its knees and each time it as soon as this rebuilding and sort of breathing a little bit, the destruction happens all over again. is going to be really, it's going to be challenging. really. you also have the issue of all these people who now have lost their homes. all these, these we've all seen, these buildings being flattened to, you know, to the ground. despite the rebels, the health system is on its knees. the not only because of the injured of this war, but also because of the corona virus, but demick. so there are a lot of challenges. ad for garza, and i think speed is of the essence here. the people that are on their knees now,
12:39 am
egypt has announced that it will help in the reconstruction. it has said that it was going to pledge i think, some up to $500000000.00. and it will also keep that border crossing with egypt, which on the other side of the rough border crossing open with some sort of service of some sort of regulation. not open all the time for all kinds of traffic. but i think for the wounded, i think for a i think for reconstruction purposes that cross the should be at least partially open. but i've been to guys a few times during the war and after the war. and sometimes, oddly enough, it's after the war when it all comes down, that when people really realize the scale of the devastations that happened to them, it becomes very difficult for them. now, after 4 was all these people who have already picked up the ashes and already rebuild their lives,
12:40 am
just to find that they have to start doing that all over again. i think it is going to be very difficult for them to come to terms with that. what does that mean? thank you very much. indeed. for more than 52000 people of fled their homes in garza to escape air strikes. this from a sort safety in a relatives apartment in the gaza strip. o 5 family members sleep on a single mattress at night. way from windows to avoid the possibility of flying glass attacks on both sides often intensify after sunset. making the night a terrifying experience, especially for children go a lot of fun. the song regarding my children are having nightmares at night. they're not making any sense because of the fear suffering from the stereo. my little one takes medicine to be able sleep because she's always so tired for bombing. and the strange sounds we hear them out. it's crazy. you know, we can't stand it anymore. past indian israelis have been holding
12:41 am
a general strike and a day of morning in the israel city of fun. tens of thousands of people gathered for the funeral of a 17 year old protest to killed by israeli security forces mohammed to q and died from his injuries. after being shot in the head by under cover offices is ready. media says he was sitting in a car with his friends at the time was returned to our senior political analyst at mom and the shower is alive in doha. it should just be what you think the, the kind of strings attached to being to, to this sees file, even though people say it's on conditional and mutual. what do you think has been going on in the background? i think this is probably a classic case of media thing, a ceasefire. probably the egyptians in coordination with the americans are the place where is there any kind of seniors deposit demands?
12:42 am
so there's various probably have a set of demands from 2 of the students, the positive addictions and the same with how much i would expect, for example, that how much would insist on immediately having the border crossings opened an order for aid and other materials for the constructions to pass into gaza . i would expect him to insist that israel will not block as it did last time during construction of certain vital, vital places. and guys are like hospitals and, and like sit in the houses later on and so on. and i think these ranges will probably have certain demands as well about shooting rockets and about how much guaranteeing that no one else shoot dockets and so on, so forth. so i would guess that the egyptians would be gathering those demands from
12:43 am
the israelis and the seniors. and they would now over the next few days or weeks be able to take those demands and try to apply them on some sort of a calendar of sort. and that's why this thing is going to be a work in progress, and that's why it will remain fragile until it becomes more of a permanent ceasefire. so it's going to depend on the masterly work of the gypsies and the way they are supported by the united states in order for me to make sure that the sci fi would work. my one for time being. thank you very much. indeed. i'm sure we'll come back to you after we've heard from president biden, who were expecting to see quite soon. in the meantime, it's taught to address. there was some sort of collusion, garza for us. what's, what's going on that moment, we could hear the explosions in the background, the policy and parking groups. they for the short range rockets as well. and we
12:44 am
could also hear, there are some exclusions and east of garden city, cut it out by the is that our forces still there is, there is relief actually among the palestinians, but to remain vigilant. because the 2 out of the coming to hours are very important . to determine the future of gaza still, we can see that the exclusion could be here, but people are waiting for, for 2 pm. and the night so far have been you know, quite a terrifying experience for many people. tell us about some of the people who've lost their homes and where they've been able to go whole. yes. 52000 paula seniors were forced to leave their homes across the border. even in some residential areas inside garza, but especially east of got to city north of the gaza strip and some other other
12:45 am
places that were heavily bought. and those people are, they need time to heal the wounds. and we, we say about want to check their homes are still standing there or destroy, it will take the time to rebuild that. what was destroyed. it's not only those who are staying in the united nation school, but we saw many people lost their lost, their families lost their houses. and they said that some people, they suffer a long time until they managed to rebuild their home after they were destroyed in 2014. so this is not something that they can rebuild in few months. and also there was 2014 they united nation through isn't adopted, a very sophisticated process for the construction of gaza, which was sure gave the israelis the right to control every
12:46 am
single house construction and was based on motion for each house. so that was complicated. reconstruction process. so for those people who lost everything, they have to start from the very beginning and did there have lots of wounds to hit? also we spoke to mental health specialists. they said they will deploy the team to collect the damage and to, to evaluate the mental mental health the state, the thing they believe they will find out lots of mental problems specifically, or especially among the children and women and of course men. but it will take them long time, also to deal with such a serious problem that the palestinians been suffering from previous war as well. thank you very much. indeed,
12:47 am
sir. what color there for us in garza and its bring in the national shower. he's a humanitarian worker who lives in the city with her 2 children via skype. thanks very much for being with us. i just wanted to ask you what it feels like to have in this announcement of sci fi and given that you've got children with use as well. thanks for having me. first of all, if, if this is a relief, however, there's a little concerned we're not sure. first of all right now, i know some stuff that are areas in the city being evacuating because they're receiving calls from, from the train is to, to leave. and the odd air strikes that are taking place currently in the south and in gulf city. i mean, some of them were so full of all the concern is that if it's coming to hold a 2nd of all, the fire does not mean that situation would go back to 2 piece or 2,
12:48 am
no. to the normal situation or the what it's supposed to be framed as an all the situations because that is on the see just with the tuition and you will sit and watch all that we would like to continue. we know about some continuous iterative policies to as far as pinions across the board in, in the west bank and gaza in angels. there are no guarantees that the week after a month after me, the only things will go back to how they used to be. and that's honestly a huge concern, of course there's a lot of a lot of relief because we have been bombarded like in the past and you can so intensely so heavily that i'm so glad that i didn't have a roof and my kids are still ok. i'm trying to keep, to keep them to be seen as much as possible. there was an upsetting stories of
12:49 am
people saying that they, they slept in the same room as children because they were afraid that if they were asked right, they might be killed and not be with the children. at that point that brothers have died together. what if it's not too personal? what was your strategy for dealing with this? did you stay in the same room as you? what did you do? of course, that's a good then. i mean, just a couple of days after the start of the question. when things become much, much, much closer to our house, for example. and we had like a huge continue like banging the ground, shaking and my kids were terrified those streaming crying. and we had to all be in just so i mean on top of each other basically for a few hours until things were somehow become easier. and then from that point on, we all keep in one room and in case anything,
12:50 am
anything happens. and it's just challenge to, to try not to be satisfied because they do wake up like my older 16 years old and, and she wakes up sometimes or she moves sometimes in a way that i've never seen before, like she shakes on. so then once you sleeping and one there was some very new by a strike and she, she was dreaming. i hit i was in a ball house. i mean it's terrifying for all children in gaza. again, i'm hearing one of the stories about how, how children are behaving after, after witnessing and experiencing in more by an invisible area in the same even buildings wherever it is getting with without any, any kind of expectation or even what they claim to be a warning i mean, that's a big lie. you still have a very fall and
12:51 am
a big lie. what i'm doing so you're talking about gaza is a very crowded area. any, any, any lists i imagine what was the huge and sophisticated dropped in the from the c. shelly, that's what we're experiencing all day. not not only month, but that's nice. things become extremely, extremely hard for like we just say that we see the morning and each morning comes with a new situation. new new challenge is what we do hope after all this. that's go, we have all the doubts and all the content that's without the change in how it's ryan, from docs, it's policies we're sending in general. i mean unfortunately, this is not going to work. and not sure how you've talked about the emotional
12:52 am
toll learn and the kind of psychological told that this conflict is, is having tell us a bit. i know that you, you're a human terry. and can you tell us a bit about the, you know, the practical day to day living? can people still go shopping or what's happening with all that? well, in most parts of the gaza strip, there are only limited number of shops shops which are open for like close by neighbors who can approach them. so this is kind of feasible, but the bigger problem is that you are having around. busy i think today is 70000 people largest place to live now in was in schools which sometimes mistaken the contemplative because they got there. and they are in need of all kinds of basic basic items like food and was very challenging. or he might get an agency or even do this work that are some more going on,
12:53 am
but it's very challenging. and also on top of that, you have thousands of people who had to leave their home and leave it living elsewhere and done it. and in friends or acquaintances, home, i know many of them even in god's across and just as they're not pregnant and how they're going to be answered by why having, you know, half of the population under property, you're talking about 60 percent of the already before that aggression are foods in the pure, which means they are challenged to find their next me and the situation is already extremely difficult in terms of you know, mickey and goes on. so i called before the suggestion, and now the suggestion was that when bombing back to the shop, agriculture losses up to $20000000.00. and it's
12:54 am
such a devastating situation. i can't imagine why we'll see fire to hopefully we'll hold what the amount of work and the amount of work that is needed to be done. just go back to some video level the previous previous aggression. it's really worrying. i'm not sure whether you followed at all today the events that the un general assembly were you encouraged to by talk of what needs to happen beyond this particular phase of the conflict and talk of perhaps returning to international peace conferences and so on. well honestly i've, i've lost maybe interest to follow. i am sorry to be blunt because i mean, and just, i mean events or talks or promises or even actually going to conduct again. i'm the under the, the,
12:55 am
the current affairs of how and, and it's behaving. and that has no, it hasn't been any justice to the palestinians. and unfortunately at all levels and the best level we see and we have the last hope that we are not on the same in the same value as, as how it's ryan eighty's interest. so unfortunately, we do appreciate the great initiative. yeah, but we have no. how can i say i trust in this and all of that, and that's why we continuously call for accountability. what was going to happen? asked for garza, for example, what's gonna happen in intro? to what extent can any pressure last to,
12:56 am
to really consider these that he joyful demands of the products and basically they're there, right? so again, it's frustrating and it's, it's all this comes with unfortunately, disappointments. i'm the major shift in power and how is it to to, to act with you. thank you very much indeed. earnestness, however, sharing your thoughts with this one here. thank you. let's bring back in our senior political analyst among the sharra who's live in doha, waiting to hear from president biden remarks promised to 2145. so about to 10 minutes overdue so far. but we also understand that button has, has again, spoken to nathan, yahoo, what you think the kind of fine tuning of the message is going to be at the moment?
12:57 am
you know, i mean, please do, pardon me if they can just by the testimony of the mother miss show that we just heard because when it's all about her and her family, i mean that's what this whole conversation. that's what this whole conference at the united nations, that's what this whole company is about. this is about noiseless family having a better security, a bit of peace, having her children grow up and in a normal society in a normal environment. this is what it's all about. i mean, we use big words like a party and colonialism and, and aggression and international law. but in the end of the day, it's all about. michelle was family. that's what it's about. it's about people like hard living in freedom. it's like, what can we do? what should everyone do? what should be the process in order for? michelle was sons and daughters to grow up like all other children around the world
12:58 am
. that's what it's about. so it's, it's actually very simple. i mean, in the end of the day, we tend to complicate things and something a politician's tend to complicate things and then enter into some kind of what all the costs are thing with, with so many elements and so forth. when the end of the day, what we are addressing is the security piece and freedom of she was family because she was family. like all other policy, knew time is had been living and occupation has been living in fear. words like here, anxiety, distrust, frustration, and beneath for accountability. and that's what it's all about and ended date, not the big political, legal framework. some concepts that sort of fishes, the use in order to deceive. and the end of the day, the rain is, are, are, are,
12:59 am
are the enemies of this, of this phone. and it's not about us. it's not about about just not about factor. it's about this funny. and i think in the end of the day and an excuse me for being a bit abrupt about it in the end of the day, it's about what was the point of fishes, what was the international community that's presumably is responsible for a lot of this for for, for empowering for enabling, is there a talk, your pipeline is fine for, for some 50 plus season, dispossess the show was on others for 70 plus years in order for them to compensate them and to guarantee that they live in peace. now they could do that in one way or another. one way is for the, for the show was to live in an independent sovereign democratic state of their own or for them to live as equal citizens in one state between the jordan river in the state. and israel isn't the person. yes. should, can weigh in and say what exactly they want them. i think the international community should help them to do that. not so them weapons,
1:00 am
not block international will and international law from being applied to the part of going on. and i think once again, it's very simple. i think gyptian is, i think, jordanian scott thirty's, dorks and everyone else, including your opinions and americans could help both parties come together in order to live together in peace and security, not the way they are living now. when one people live on top of another, people would want people to exploit and other people, one people in prison on other people and that one people that is being the judge and the prosecutor is themselves leaving and insecurity. unfair mom. michelle, thank you very much indeed. to have baton being if you're just joining us. just past 2200 g m t i'm learn taylor, this is andrew 0 live from london. let's update you on what's been happening in the last couple of hours. israel and palestinian groups of agree.
