10:33 am
month and severe restrictions on palestinians guidelines and see of course, significant financial and humanitarian losses and goals. a double dine used to run a textile factory because of the book paid. he's reduced operations and even the number of stuff that he employees are most the category about time and i'll walk them in the past. this fact we had 300 workers. we used to be exposed to isabel and the rest of the world because of the restrictions and violence, it is fairly running. now, the multitude program has also appeal to help. $200000.00 palestinians will no longer receive food assistance because of survey funding shortages. and by august it will be forced to completely suspend all operations in the occupied west bank and gaza. its no international aid is sort of played out to 0 inside story. well, let's take a closer look at the situation. according to the wealthy program, 35 percent of palestinians living in the occupied west bank and gaza have
10:34 am
difficulty getting enough food. that's around one point. 84000000 people. women particularly hard hit in the gaza strip. 63 percent of households headed by females are affected of the wsp says funding shortages also made about 60 percent of those . it helps in the occupied palestinian territories on not getting the assistance with food that the agency normally provides them. according to the will bank just on to 60 percent of people in gaza, live in poverty. the. all right, let's take this on for more. i am joined by all dest sony and goes the 1st up. and he said he has an award winning journalist and strategy director year i met acumen writes, monitor a some a, a bill job a is a palestine country director for the world food program and wi fi. we have nigel shaw, who's an 8 worker and the mother of 2 children, a long time resident of garza and she and her family have survived several is ready
10:35 am
. rates on the city will welcome to all of you. and now i'd like to start with you . if i may, as i say, your mom and a humidity are in what can you see it from all sides? we have a situation where food prices are up, 20 percent money coming in is down radically and all the time you're living under these really blockade and on getting a tax describe for us, if you will, what it's like. trying to run a family as a residents have garza what they need. life is like yeah, she resigned this thanks for calling me. well, the state is a constant santos, or anxiety at best for those who can afford daily living. anastasia cancer by the problem is the majority of the population out of the community. i mean i'm getting you into some, some fluctuates and everything is empty and
10:36 am
anxiety and. busy and how nice it can be. this is basically the data and i would like to see issue some inability to move answer and, and expect to just get into the against. busy and continue to suffer again and again. no. and in terms of the, the kind of the kind of situation i think what is more the one of the candidates because it's a, it's kind of hardly me, can use the assignment. it's kind of a softening all the people that are due to the security of the economic situation and simply makes it makes like stream the scene, the higher for the entire population. okay? but who say need, and this is a story of challenge of difficulty not just in gaza,
10:37 am
but across the public, the entire tree. yeah, actually it's not bullying god, but maybe god the is the most impacted by the 5th grade. who is in general because this one p know we're entering the 18 kia as red stuff. okay. think blow candle this trip. and anyone could imagine the impact of 17 years of closure and types restrictions can have on the lives of over 2000000 residents. we're already actually, it'd be, uh years ahead of the year in which the u. n said life would be on livable and god, i'm doing the years of the occupation whether endorsed time or got a sense. i'm especially if it, there's a big located on the after the most of the major, it is right in the middle of a, a box that have devastated that stripped infrastructure of tens of thousands of palestinians and girls. i have actually lost their jobs either because of the closure that rendered employed and explored extremely difficult for hundreds of
10:38 am
businesses, not shut down as a result or because of as friends targeting or business as during military docs, we're actually talking about i think the vast majority of people and that the vast majority of factories out about 80 percent of the factories about how to shut down to the same position of the as a blow pain. of course, as a result, we're witnessing surging unemployment and for the security or aids that are considered among the, the, the highest in the world. for instance, in gaza, the unemployment trade is doubled the that home, the was bank and it has rise in the around from 23 percent before the end of the blow bit in 2005 to 47 percent. actually uh, by the end of the 2022 also property has already been sharply due to be as rainy or sections from 40 percent and 22005 to over 61 percent. and
10:39 am
to 2022. they search. okay, the will coming go, we'll explore this further and the oldest, the testing is what you're saying is that they're all going in the wrong direction, not you. i'll come back to you in a 2nd. but if next, if we can come to you some a after the well food program, or what are the best facts from your point of view to what degree is a having to be caught and what impact is that have a thank you and i think the the starting with the impact last week, actually i wasn't garza and i visited some families together with them. just either call me and the situation is very, i like to mention that in my, our say we're seeing food in security is or the tie 1800000 people in both west banking guys are in need of assistance. we're looking at best comprises that was affecting all different stakeholders, difficulties and paying salary is a b a. but also the factoring got. we're seeing difficulties and,
10:40 am
and other programs that are affecting you and yours. so we're looking at a situation that is best for families are having difficulties on putting food on the table and at the same time. and many of them are coming to us saying we don't need imitating assistance. we just want you to support us with economy opportunities and employment opportunities and we wouldn't be able to take care of ourselves. so we're looking at the, we, we're supporting those one of the families that it's time out in the sense that they want to do more, they can do more, they're highly educated. there's a huge percentage of youth who really wants to do and deliver until that moment where they are able to secure fundings eh, for themselves, and their families. we wouldn't be giving them home. and unfortunately, the, the funding situation for us hasn't been difficult for quite some time. and we've been living on a month by month to make sure that those bundled with families are not pulling even further into for the security dealers. you mentioned use,
10:41 am
i do wonder about the children, the natural it. how is it for your children that tell us how old they are and how they're capable of this? uh yeah, my children are uh, 9 and uh, 6 years old and the i'd have to face a whole new town ever since the beginnings of the beginning of the comes us or awareness to the difficulties of the business to be on as a family. i would really does that cost and just the facing after facing as really res. uh, uh, just uh, you know, a few weeks ago i, i think it just been standards uh, extreme pressure on, on daily basis to, to try and bring it in. and he would be able to send me a better future or even a better tomorrow and like this would be tomorrow. so it is,
10:42 am
it is an extremely challenging environment with very difficult questions. like, how do you race entire in an environment where you save one, expect that the big nearby you to send me great. i'm talking to you. i mean, this kind of things are really the conversations with me, me and my, my, my children. and i think the majority of serve in, i'm in, in, in, in the goal is to have no way deserves to, to continue to live this way. especially because exactly because as i'm going to say at people you want to work to earn a living, they want to be i'm, they seek it every single day. why would people work? i mean, for like 12 hours or more or $2.00, it goes, i mean you, you cannot believe that the level of desperation in terms of one thing to receive education. one thing to, to, to work as anything or living. i think this all brings us back to, i mean,
10:43 am
this tiny concerning situation, all like the world of program or other, it's a programs line line to read a strong is the simply because i've never really saw and i think the world knows enough about the situation and the injustice population continues to and to see generation. so yes, i do wonder what do i tell my children when, when they never face, they never lived in the all the full, uh, hopping power supply, you know, issues like that. being able to shop for example. so i mean all these, all these issues, i'm continuing to really make me online complicity. i'm certain the, i'm sorry that summer. let's try it out to that question. why has it got to the stage or the dependent school? thing is critical, obviously the critical point of view,
10:44 am
but what else is happening here is a global fee crisis going on is a living expenses around the world and rocketing. is that what it's about? why have your funds plummeted in the way they have to the extent that you need $51000000.00 just to the end of the that's correct. so it's been difficult since last year. honestly, we've been living on a month by month basis. many of the donors have set up last minute to avoid the budget cuts. but unfortunately, we had to get to this point where we need to turn on some of the kind of dependent fisheries simply because we don't have enough resources that will allow us to continue. and we needed to prioritize the remaining funding to make sure that we're able to reach them all in the event of those difficult times. so the situation is, as it has been bad, i think the global prices have actually made a major impact. one of our patients, but also to go to the market the, the, the process have been soaring. i think currently it might have mentions but to
10:45 am
percent increase in commodities. the price of commodities since almost a year. we've been monitoring more than 40 different commodities in issuing market monitoring reports. and unfortunately, we don't see prices going down. we're seeing more the people, depending on coping strategies even to cover some of their basic needs when they probably get into your coffers. ringback that's dwindled to them, people just don't think they think as much as that. right. so we receive less than what we received last year so far. and we've been working with all different partners to make sure that we are actually in mobilizing some of the, the, the funding that is needed. because what we're hearing, some of the stories about the rang during me and mark is the fact that you had to cut down daily russians the to it's a similar story to go that it's unfortunately with the lack of political solutions in many of the prices we will see more needs off with insecurity that started actually
10:46 am
a jury and comment and continuing with the situations and political situations. oh cool. so ma, you touched on the, the international side of things at that. how do you, do you feel? does it buttons nice community? well actually i guess part of things are feeling about they are being failed, they are unfortunately they gradually losing means of survival and the future action you will see even more simple. they think human theory and cautious as long as the international community allows this ryan to continue with and with its abuses and violations against by the thing is i'm actually the problem is much more profound than the economic our property prices for ballasting and such prices are now determining the future understanding about billions and the boss, for example, palestinians with the support of the international community where that their, their main concern was to live freely in the community and so,
10:47 am
and the illegal occupation. but today, other main and the concern, the concern for the vast majority of the comedies is how to me are these that you are fluid and stay alive as a signer has said that so many of them only wait for the one, please. a, missouri and a provided by the international organization, which is actually the only aim towards support provided by the international committee. he directed to both scenes. and this is unfortunately a normal result of the strategy of starving palestinians is right. has been a lot thing for the past years because of the hungry, their son cannot think of digging into your freedom of lives. he secures his food, it is actually as simple as that. and the thing is, is that the, the international community is actually allowing is ready to go further somebody, which is that is where it is taking advantage of the hop. that policy is, are actually starving and also ix ix store team to buy this thing is especially
10:48 am
those indigo, this brand, which is a very more dangerous that it's a few months ago for example, or a few years ago, for example, absolutely be is right in the military and that one goes on 2021 or is, or your thirty's allow tens of thousands of palestinians from gaza to be employed during low skilled jobs. and as you read for the 1st time, and of course, hundreds of thousands have applied to get permits to work. but since then, your med monitor documented several cases in which these workers have been explored and interrogated by the way. intelligence at the areas were unfortunately given sensitive information about their neighbors, for example, and relatives, etc. so those books, of course, those will refuse to give information or simply died, a work permits and we're not allowed into is there any document but at 30 tories to lead me southern women? i mean, i don't. so thanks for that my, i just want to bring much of it back in that as far as the is enough for communities and i,
10:49 am
are you feeling that things have changed for the was since the trump presidency? and, you know, we saw the normalization of relations with various countries and that, that has kind of engendered this, this lack of care from the international community. yeah, i mean, obviously the answer is yes. things how to go towards in terms of the politics from that age and that out us. that's what we and so some people to send you and some friends shooting might have more and. busy to see exactly from some, some countries however, the other, the other more important issues. what to, what the beginning of, i mean, it was the international community. this is a major parts of the international community that is actually about this to happen . so maybe in my house there's very times for it and and, and good assistance to the palestinian people. on the other hand, there is no, i guess, serious, serious or move to it is
10:50 am
a policies to actually stop. it still has to begin. and i think this, this comes from that, it says the mission that we are equal and this increasing and this continues to be the case. the non dash foundation is across the so as long as the kind of thing is we received that and we law. however, we know when it comes to read politics, 100 decisions, it doesn't work this very so in a way human, janine systems is very much needed at this point. i think about the program. another especially this one isn't major safety and programs for people. this is what keeps people really going. i mean, a day by day having mean some basic for security and everyone knows that it's hardly enough. however, also at silencing kind of thing is with just a piece of a, not a truck or a support in the policy a bottom. and we know that this will continue to be cost, be $4.00, uh,
10:51 am
414 uh, phone lines and extra community phone, bad experiences for humanity. and engine continued to be like this. like many other countries probably be in the war. nobody can speak to this. i mean, nobody can say no that nobody sees that maybe they need to see that on a daily basis that are basis against palestinians. and because i'm in the west bank, increasingly this is not stopping. so this is, this is also something that i think needs to simply stay on the news. and we hope that the next time we are on the news is that admitted to the patient and maybe announcement or to further says that it says and as an inside delivery date, deteriorating humanitarian process with increased with insecurity is on sunday. negative news isn't it that, that we have most of the time, the summit,
10:52 am
you'll the palestine country director for the world food program. i was just one day from a unit from your heart, from a postal perspective. now you're having to to compass safety net for so many hundreds of thousands of palestinians. how does it make you feel that you have to tell them this news that you have to oversee these cuts? thanks, nick. it's a difficult question. i have to say that when we announced that we have to come to have the assistance in june unless funding comes, it wasn't an easy decision. we went to the last moment to make sure that we did not keep the door that we did not look at. we weren't kingston tired of this new with all the stakeholders to see if we're able to add a basically the decision to funding comes tomorrow. i'll be able to do for a deposition. so and, and having those families on, on the back of our mind and have been looking at them and my team is on the ground
10:53 am
resisting some of those diamonds. we are receiving in the last 2 weeks on to 1000 cause to idaho, of course. and we are dealing with every call, personally with passion because we understand how difficult this decision is for many families. like you said, it's a lifeline. support to them as a humidity and so forth. electronic boxes that we give is allowing people in dignified way of assistance that they can go to contract and shop and buy the food items that they need. but at the same time, it's also supporting local economies that $300.00 plus shops that we contract in west banking got us a 14 value chains look at the production and job creation across the value chain. and the impact is, is a huge on this economy. uh, from the perspective and job creation perspective. so it's not an easy decision for us. and that's one of the things that drive as we continue. and i think i will just need a for reading accompanying this because together we will be able to hopefully deliver
10:54 am
it and be able to secure funding at ma, discuss at the hope for the future and where you find it. i was reading that every year, something like 12215000 university graduates come through it because they just end up unemployed in what, what could one even say to try and give them some kind of hope for a decent future? actually they are very well aware that every year the situation is worse on the year before i actually the long years of the, the best located have as or as have rendered as the ends, including new graduates unable to cope with the severe restrictions and continuous audrey. i'm docs every one or 2 years and they are unable to keep up with this as the international 8 organizations are going to be seeing more restrictions of fixing their funds and also patients and the in the on the ground. so i guess
10:55 am
that and as, as long as this continues as long as this, these restrictions continue, i guess that the palestinians are well aware that they are unable to access any further cool with the situation. and they are feeling that the international community is once again have. ringback them and also contributing to making them unable to secure their own sources of livelihood. as center said, bosnians and especially graduates. but then those tens of thousands of graduates that are being seen graduating every year are able actually to secure a source of livelihoods. they need is to protect the source of livelihoods, as is ryan is actually targeting the main sources of livelihoods, especially in the gardens setting, including timing and pressure. and phishing, which are the 2 main sources of income for about $65.00. i'm not sure that you
10:56 am
talked about your kids, your children, and how you, you know, have this difficult conversation which will get, how do i guess as i get older and understand more about what's going on. but, but what do you say when you know the cities on the bum, bob mentioned, they can hear the noise of that and, and your thinking about the future. what, what, what can you say to them to try and try and give them hope and then somebody with this level. i mean it's a very good at the end that it continues to be a conversation. and now i think having to explain and just you know, so that they can make sense if you can make sense of substrate hands, especially when you have a question is like why buying here? why, as you know, all these, all these questions and the, the issue is that i think we have
10:57 am
a lot to explain this. there's 3 to this land. and there is a history to this injustice by simply trying to be i don't use the words resilience, but a patients work on uh, cancer future out. how, how does a future person? that's what i, what i'm trying to raise my kids to, to, to be, is that kind of thing and should not be seen as, think to the meeting that lives. and i think and then your generation is probably going to teach this again. and they bring some hold and sort of answers model, although it is extremely, extremely hot. i guess we have no choice but to get this whole and nourish. as such determination is that this is where we are, and this is what we are going to be working on. a subject to be here and a guest education seek scaling. and at how
10:58 am
strong understanding of things and just a subject in this world are in this part of this world as much as possible and can be good. thank you so much to or i guess for speakers was here at odds or do appreciate it. because i need some, i told you about and match the shala and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again at any time by visiting our website. i'll just share a dot com for further discussion. just go to our facebook page. that is facebook dot com, forward slash a inside story. you kind of course just joined the conversational twitter handle is that a j inside story for main o'clock. and the whole team here today is the the
