2:02 pm
now from gaza were outside chief hospital, the main hospital in garza city. but all of the main, 13 hospitals up and down the street are facing very similar issues, which is just an overwhelming number of patients and a huge workload for the staff and exhaustion. not just of them in human terms, but also of a lot of the disposals and the treatment facilities required. of course, power lines a down fuel isn't short supply, so that affects electricity which in turn effects, hygiene, sanitation, water. so it is a major problem. we were speaking to one doctor inside here and he looked just absolutely exhausted for one thing. and he was worried about not just what he been able to do in terms of treating, deciding prioritizing on what to do in various medical terms, but also about people coming in with really serious humanitarian questions and difficulties unable to really address those. he said,
2:03 pm
and as well as that there is all the usual day to day care and already stress system here. dealing with such a large population has to do with he was worried about pregnant women going into labor. he was worried about people just tripping over some of the rebel and all the rest of it. there is a huge capacity problem here in garza, some 8 now is in, but it, it is pretty small when, when compared to the need live to diplomatic. this is james bays who joins us from west jerusalem. so james, so many people involved in the diplomacy here are saying the same thing america has got to drive this. is that a job that america wants? it's really unclear at this stage. and i would expect there is serious debate going on in washington and within the biden administration, because remember, we're now full months into this administration. and until the conflict are opted about 12 days ago, this was not a priority administration. their priorities,
2:04 pm
gonna stop the iran nuclear deal. they were relations between china and russia. this was a holding operation with regard to israel. palestine has that now changed? i think we're going to point out in the coming days and i think the key moment is a visit by the us secretary of state and lincoln. he's coming to the region wednesday, thursday. we have no details on his trip. other than the fact he's going to make meet israelis and palestinians, or the administration now thinking they can come things down and move on and get back to their other priorities. or are they thinking? this is a fundamental problem that needs to be resolved and they need to go back to proper peace negotiations between the israelis and the palestinians. couple of other little bits of news with regard to this pizza. there's no us ambassador. currently in post we hear that michael rodney used to
2:05 pm
be the special representative this i think on a temporary basis. okay. james, the line is dropping out, but we'll stick with it as long as it last. i'll just ask you another question. if the line does disappear, we'll live with it and we'll try and come back to you if we can. but looking at the pictures, james, as you're talking to us, we're playing pick pictures from last week and looking at the devastation that literally piles of rubble, where they used to be power blocks today. and this time yesterday, this is not when mr. biden says, you know, we're in this to help the people of god's, we're as well, this is not a to our bank transfer of some money. paying a bill. this is a major investment of capital finance and rebuilding garza. so by definition, i guess americans in here for the long haul well yes, if they are prepared to make that commitment, the 1st step is humanitarian. a. some of that started to blow the un security council resolution to press the even more. and then as you say,
2:06 pm
reconstruction needs money, it needs materials difficulties there. of course the u. s. don't talk directly to hamas, they can give money to the us. there's also something called the ad hoc liaison committee set up off the also which is a way of getting aid in that chair by the witches. but the other big problem is getting all the construction materials in, in the past. it's not just been israel, it's been egypt, it's blocked those supplies going into garza. i'm very briefly james and mr. lincoln's in the reach and talking to people. does that mean that mr. biden's envoy has in effect? been deposed? well, certainly when you have the secretary of state here, i think he is the top 10 boy of the u. s. president. so he will be doing the negotiations. there is a question about what they're going to do in terms of who's going to lead the diplomatic efforts going forward. because as a say, there is no ambassador yet in post. we have this directly coming in to be the
2:07 pm
acting ambassador, while a new ambassador is formerly confirmed. one of the other bit of news is the by the administration is contin considering setting up the consulate general. again, that was the of the name for a sort of embassy that the u. s. had for the palestinians that existed until president trump moved the u. s. embassy from television to jerusalem and merged it together with the consulate general. it now looks like they'll be a consummate general again. so the u. s. diplomats that can deal with the palestinian side while the u. s. embassy deals with these righty side. james. many thanks. james bass. diplomatic to the in the west jerusalem with the well health organization says the global death toll from cupboard 19 could be 2 to 3 times higher than the official numbers. they show 3400000 people have died from cove it,

2:20 pm

2:21 pm
and the, the way the constitution will handle the way the president's office, the deposit residents office and find the answers office we've been or the due diligence part in terms of, you know, exhausting all possible the possibilities to keep the govern at the spend the time as that's been kind of to me as a very mellow fight one. because what is the friday at this moment? the very bottom of the state and politics is to protect its people, which is a panoramic and now our attention has been diverted to the, to the election. elections are important for democracy, but i don't know what kind of election that we are talking. so i think it's a misplace pride, it is to cover a political income pretenses of the government. how is coded and the spread of cove it playing into that current situation. it's very much, well, if you recall the 1st phase, the last year around the march,
2:22 pm
when it entered into our territory or near fall, it was slowly getting infections of the the government response was we don't, would be caught options. you know, of the even procuring munitions and p, p e and help equipments in the 1st phase itself where the riddle of cups. and so i think nipple government. and then if you still didn't pick the, the, the call the, the, with the kind of, you know, scientists temperament. they always look into a populous politics. and i think we learn back things from supporting, you know, pseudo science was very dominant. you know, if you remember the music statement by the prime minister that you can sneeze out, be that divide us or you can be while the loose and, and then do away with a vax. and i think that there was no proper communication in terms of, you know, political communication, how to deal with the panoramic and people people to do that. and then again,
2:23 pm
i think the, the law downs and various immediate health maintenance ought to condemn the spirit of writers. but to talk about vaccine important action and get the resources for the action is very important. important because backs in the future is still there has to be immediate action to control the spread of items by providing options and also to support to the people and talk over it resources to the vaccine because containing the prison and looking for the future. i think this to a strategy help as miserably failed. ringback in my country to be very sad because i should have been very proud of my government's approach. but unfortunately it's not me friday, if you would have waited, let me just interrupt you there for a 2nd harris. i'm at one final. that's the way out of the covert crisis for you, and i assume for people who've lived with cobit and the people there who are
2:24 pm
looking in on this political situation. is there an easy, obvious way out of this political situation for the voters so they can get back to living in a country that's run and run well by the government? i think for that matter, there is no other way than you know, political parties coming together and giving us a united fight against the cold it, if you don't live, then there's no point of politics. the purpose of the politics is defeated by kind of politics that has been propagated by the got in powerful dispensation in that box. so it's kind of disappointing situation in order to move forward. i think political parties, serious aside, is all need to come together. i've been locked down as severely crippled our economy logged on us to the people our lives. so i think one has to also take care of those things and without carrying ticket up to the present situation.
2:25 pm
