11:04 am
a private with people who set the homes for what's left of them. then that's going to be the bar. so here's what i have done, the burden on the health sector is so huge, and large numbers of people are taking shelter here in schools, in total disorder. we've no hygiene. how does it was? because if it demick across and does that, and beyond that, there have to ration is extremely dangerous. compounding the problem is israel is located, it's called central supplies of food and fuel. and water has run out and you and shelters, even if the water is restored, the water is going to go to big containers and gaza, which means that they, the, the, the water will need to be trucked to different locations and to truck the water to different locations, we need fuel for the trucks, so it's really a chain of, of events that need to happen before people can actually get to water with no electricity night brings when much complete darkness to cause a fear of what may come next image and came back out to 0 also 0
11:05 am
correspondent, you met aside as in southern gaza in hon. eunice for us. you me, that's good to talk to you. describe what's happening where you are. well now it's about 5 ambulances just arrives to the hospital with the injuries and, and, and the number of people killed. and honestly, the injuries were really, really bad. the children and, and women and men, uh, the, their injuries were very, very, extremely bad. the other 2 children, they had really bad injuries and they had these where all the other bombardment of their home uh right here in one unit where their home was been barred. it was, they were inside the home. so uh there, the civil defense teams are still trying to get people out of bed, boardman of that home. but these were the people that they were able to bring them
11:06 am
to hospital. so as people thousands of people were evacuated, forgot the city and the northern gaza strip. to the south. ask these really military, ask them to do the pl, boardman in con unit and in the south of areas have not stopped. they have been ongoing. they have been very violent homes are still being targeted and bombarded over the heads of the civilians. and this situation in the hospitals relieves remains to be extremely deteriorating. one hospitals are saying that this is the last 24 hours that they can operate with the fuel less now in the external generators that they have been working on in the past few days. and right now, you know, i mean right now does the hospital have the capacity to treat the new, the wounded and patients that are being brought it of the,
11:07 am
the hospitals have a white tents that are everywhere in the premises of the yards of the hospitals. they have lost their capacity inside the premises of the hospital. a long time ago, days ago. these tense now are external tens. 4 more for uh now, uh, departments for children and for those uh injuries that are still coming on. the injuries have not stopped every hour while the capacity of the hospitals has literally run out. so that there now, depending on these tense that they have adjusted outside the hospital premises in different areas in the yards of the hospital, while the yards are completely also filled. with people who have come here to take refugee the hospital, considering that this might be the only relatively safe place for them to stay at u. m. the i heard what may have been,
11:08 am
what sounded like continued bombardment behind you. i mean, i might be mistaken. what did you hear? yes, there still air strikes going on around the premises of the hospital here in san eunice. these injuries that were just brought, that it was just to try to think of a home that was very close here to the hospital. the environment they're still given go on in the area of new and it's where the hospital is and this targeting edible arrangements are still in different areas as well. that is, which is uh, yeah, just before can you and it's, it's in the central part of the godsa or considering the. c the beginning us ton unit, and there was also a family home that was founded over this civilian. it is and of ambulance. it's hard for us to that. the area now to get to have
11:09 am
crashed over by did under that told environment, the houses zeros. you'll notice side, thank you very much. just wanna recap what you told us. it's important information at this hour that you hear there is continued bombardment in the southern part of the gaza strip. now, why is this important? because israel, over the last 48 hours, 3 days, has been asking palestinians to leave the northern part of this trip. go to the southern part of the strip. now there we just had moments ago, confirmation there are continued bombardments in the southern part of the strip. also about 2 hours ago. reuters news agency was reporting citing egyptian sources that there might be a ceasefire in the southern part of the strip. clearly that is not happening, it was denied also by hamas, and he is really prime minister. they've been barden and continues. let's get this situation from southern israel charles straps. it joins us from the rock. charles, what can you tell us on your end? well yeah,
11:10 am
you join us on the west and the outskirts of stereo and i'll step out of the frame and show you what we're looking at here. where you can see through the gap in those trees is the golf and neighborhood of 800. and it sits on the top northeast corner of the gaza strip, and you'll be able to pick out the destroyed buildings. the evidence of the severity of these strikes off tillery strikes me is what it is over the last few days. we do not know how many people are still there, but we do know that obviously this area of garza, these, the area, the, is these where it is a saying that civilians should move from they should move the south. so basically from the right to left of be was tv screens. now that neighborhood was completely rebuilt after it was smashed, a pc is in the last little 2014. and it's a similar scenario in various other neighborhoods in areas of garza, obviously since this crisis has style too. and since we've been here, we've seen
11:11 am
a couple of strikes in that area um plumes of of black smoke rising, but it has been so fall this morning as i say the last couple days since we've been hit relatively quiet in terms of palestinian missiles being fired into, into israel, we've had reports and confirm reports now old for at least a couple of barrels. she is one in the direction of the town of nicole was that's close to the border. it was one of the towns or villages that was infiltrated by how much flights is on october the 7th. so many is right. these killed the, another um me saw in the direction of the town of berry, again, pretty close to the hollows and where we are here. we are hearing reports of, of at least one, the casualty in those attacks. but as i say, it has been in certainly in this, in this area, relatively quiet in terms of civilian still living in towns like steroids. as
11:12 am
despite those evacuation efforts being made by the local authorities and the military or the last couple of days, there's still a lot of people in this town who are not moving that prepared to stay. we spoke to one a couple earlier today and they said what they were even contemplating moving back . so for the time being, the situation here remains manageable for the civilians living in this area. but of course, that could change at any moment. charles, i wonder what you might be able to tell us on is real specific military goals and plans moving forward, and i understand that they have no obviously been disclose to the public, but yesterday have us present. and joe biden said it would be a bad idea of israel to reoccupied the gaza strip. and what we're hearing from within nausea, israel is also that they don't want to reoccupied that piece of land. they moved away more than they moved out. disengaged from there more than 15 years ago. so apart from the headline objective, the israel has said to cripple him, us,
11:13 am
do we know what that actually looks like? do we have any more specificity on their objective of the let me also moreno to move in and zoom in on that neighborhood again. and that will give you some idea of the kind of challenges that the is right in the military will be facing. as you can see, it is a, a, a neighborhood that has got a lot of buildings there. is there a big phase about these really low seats because it's going to be very difficult, potentially herb. and we'll say we know that homicide is today. again, we know that a lot of the administrative structure is already being destroyed according to these riley, some of the tunnels, many of the tunnels. so these really all i mean is claiming have, have been hit with the shit. you know that the density of buildings in areas like bass, i know, would suggest that any kind of movement from the ground, at least on the ground at least, would be very difficult for any all. i mean,
11:14 am
no matter the capabilities. so we also know that so you know, the, these ready ministry is saying that this is going to be combined the land and sea operation. i just don't know that you're going to be just from here, from this area of moving into the goals is going to be on the stand right. the way along the goal is a strip. so the challenge is all remains and i don't think that that is wasted or lost on the military leadership in this country, you know, the politicians. and so it's going to be very interesting to see how they, how they, how they get to on. but yeah, the big objective, so they keep saying is the crippling of hamas. and it was very interesting yesterday speaking to local people here who were getting on those buses to be evacuated. so he's, one of them told us he didn't believe ever, that that how much could be toppled by the way, the government, no max of the strengths of the military might houses. there is charles strafford
11:15 am
reporting from 0 just a few kilometers away from the northern part of the gaza strip. thank you very much . charles to us ships is set to evacuate. americans from israel to cyprus. us authorities have not disclosed how many people will be aboard the vessel, but say that space is limited and boarding will proceed in order of arrive tens of thousands of us passport holders currently live in israel. and since the war began, 29 us nationals have been confirmed dead. and another 15 are still missing. the us secretary of state anthony blinking is returning to his real on monday, his visit comes as the us presidential bite and said it would be as we mentioned, a big mistake for israel to occupied. the gaza strip around. foreign minister has also been vocal like hannah reports on washington dc. it showed us responds to the how much the tech 10 days ago was immediate condemnation. but absent was the call for is really restraint. that in the past would be part of us reaction over the
11:16 am
past 24 hours as the us secretary of state shuffled through the region. this being an apparent shift in the us position, president by the no advising israel against any re occupation of gaza. what happened in guys, in my view, is how much and extreme elements who mosse don't represent all the palestinian peoples. and i think that it would be a mistake to present all to occupy guys again, resisted but to going in and taking out the extremist. the headboard is up north, but i was out. shopping is a necessary requirement. you believe that from aust must be eliminated entirely? yes i do. but there needs to be a palestinian authority. there needs to be a pass to
11:17 am
a palestinian state or work together to make sure that to the best of our ability this cost with is not spread. a possible reason for the us shift may be a consequence of anthony blinking discussions in his meeting with a gyptian president of delphi, l. c. c r o bank. the at is written, the action was made public. this is a huge crisis and i am concerned that these really reaction exceeded the right to self defense and turned into a collective punishment of the gaza strip, which has 2300000 palestinians in doha, the o ring in foreign minister and that the image of guitar tell me being how my belt on the who maintains relations with all parties to the conflict in an interview with alex is the era in ron's top. diplomat said he's country will not remain a bystander. israel continues attacking. gaza ation will stand better. so say,
11:18 am
if the message is aiming at immediately stopping these really occupations attacks that are killing children in the palestinian territories, mainly in the gaza strip and then the deadlock, it is highly probable that many other fronts will be open. this option is not ruled out, and this has become increasingly more probable. the, by the ministration appears increasingly concerned about a wider. busy or re commitment to a 2 state solution, along with increasing if it's in humanitarian relief, may be part of a strategy to reassure error of allies that the us can be a fit broker in the conflict by kinda, oh, just sierra washington. ellen fisher is in west jerusalem allen blinking was in israel then toward the middle east and now is coming back to israel. why is he coming back of the? well, the usual diplomatic language, but we can read between the lines and it suggests that he's probably going to get
11:19 am
the temperature of what's happening in the out of world, through his visit with 7 other out of leaders and then coming back to speak to the is really is about a number of things. one is you'll express the consent, whatever the israelis tend to do. and guys at that they limit the humanitarian impact of that 2nd. but he would like to see a humanitarian quarter opened up between the southern guys and egypt through the raft, across that. and you would like the roof across and hoping to make sure that those who deal nationality can actually leave guys a into egypt at the moment. no, but just in the last couple of hours, the prime minister's office is a statement saying there will be no c spot in southern guides us. so that would seem to reload that idea is the question to of the invite to do a bite. and of course, in just the last few hours, he said that the issue should not reconsider you should consider rather reoccupied and the gaza strip. know if to bite this here. when there was really forces on the ground, the odds that could be embarrassing for the american president, he's been pretty steadfast and the support for the sale over the last week or so.
11:20 am
so there's a lot of boxes for, onto the blinking to take, including uh, trying to find out exactly where the is really is uh, when it comes to the negotiation of leaving people who been a taken into guys uh after the events last saturday, particularly the was because he claim american citizenship because that is obviously a crisis that, that on to the blinking in the bike and white house would like to avoid it. allen, something else that the us is top diplomat is presumably involved and is continuing evacuations of us nationals or dual nationals from the north of israel as well. well, it's certainly what we know is just in the last hour they is really, i mean, has a nice that data back to, we think around 20 communities that are close to the border with lebanon and saying that they have to get i, that would be the number of tit for tat exchanges between has bowler and the is really army. over the last $67.00 days, none of them have been widespread,
11:21 am
but they've done up the course consent among these really armies. so the nice thing that 20 communities will be of accurate. that's essentially a buffer zone between the, the lebanese border and 2 kilometers inside the country. there's also going to be a part of the buffer zone of another 2 kilometers. essentially, no one's going to be allowed to enter, that will become a military zone. and moving all of these people is going to take some time. they'll be housed in, in government, paid for gas houses. but that operation is going to get underway in the next couple of hours. people essentially just don't back up what you need for a few days. you're leaving because of this ongoing exchange between has bowler and the is really army. and that builds in to anthony blinking and saying because the americans are very keen not to see the exchanges that are happening in guys a spread. and this become a much wider conflict. alan session reporting from west original and thank you very much. all you're watching else, is there
11:22 am
a reminder of our headlines this hour? just joining us. here's a all right, the number of is really is that have been killed so far since the beginning of, of the conflicts. $1400.00 is rarely. it is rarely airstrikes have killed more than $2750.00 palestinians since last saturday. that includes more than a 1000 children. israel has killed more palestinians in 8 days and its forces date and 51 days of war on gaza in 2014. the number of israelis killed in almost as military operation, as i just told you now stands at 1400, including 293 soldiers. the conflict has forced more than 1000000 palestinians from their homes in just 9 days. palestinian president, not with a boss, has called for his realtor immediately stop. it's aggression against the palestinian people. that message came in
11:23 am
a phone call with his venezuelan count of park nicholas venturo. a boss said that the policies, programs and decisions of the palestine liberation organization, or what represent the palestinian people as the sole, legitimate representative and not the policies of any other organization. all right, hold on to allow me to is in ramallah how that will get to that and that matters. you'll explain to us why the intra palestinian rivalry between foot on a moss with a boss and his envy home us leaders. we'll get to all of that in just a moment. first though, i'd like you to tell us what's happening on the ground in the occupied westbank where there had been more raids and more arrest. the palestinians in the occupied west bank under immense pressure by d is ray, the forces that basically control every aspect of their lives. they movement from one city to the other. and at the moment they've been closely monitored. they've
11:24 am
been, they naturally res. uh, ever since, i mean for a long time already they've been raised, but the number of rates has increased dramatically ever since this crisis started just last night. they were dozens of raids over the occupied west bank. some of them lost it until just an hour ago. south of jericho, 70, and people got arrested. what happens is a most of these people get arrested under administrative detention, which means that only israel knows why they have they were, they are being detained. and israel does not need to give these or explain these charges to the detainees or the lawyer. we have spoken to as some families here in the ramada area, and this is our report. it was 6 30 in the morning and the narrow alleys of
11:25 am
elementary refugee camp were still quiet. is really soldiers lined up and made their way to the home of samuel bet that his family was jolted out of bed when they kicked open the front door. they were after the same as 2 eldest sons, but i'm 2nd little isn't for you thought i, but didn't. i asked why they were doing this, and they said were wor when i asked if i could give my sons the jackets, because it's cold outside. the officer in charge told me, your children shouldn't be licensed. this is the moment they will lead the way. the family doesn't know where they were taken to would in 60 palestinians would obtain the less than 12 hours across the occupied westbank ami flood. hi. this video filled by a soldier, shows him tilting the young man taken away. the number of bailey, this sentence has tripled over the past week. that's according to the palestinian prisoner society. but there's also another concern that those already held,
11:26 am
and these really jails are coming under duress. by little is real easy, black to respond to lawyers who ask about the whereabouts of a day to me. that hasn't happened since the outbreak of this war, according to him. ok. and these really human rights group. usually we are receiving 100 phone calls a week. now we are receiving 100 phone calls a day. we have written urgently to israel attorney general to say, you know, you cannot deny prisoners access to their lawyers. there are reports, but we cannot confirm about the violence about some punishments. when c mohammad last spoke to her husband, he told you the things of change inside the jail ever since. how messes up back on israel. i got it in the head and then he told me that this could be the last time we speak for was he said that the prison authority has imposed punishments on them,
11:27 am
confiscating the longings. water is available for an hour per day. electricity is cut off during the day, so it has been, has been held for more than a year without charges is not the 1st time. her young son has only seen his father for 3 months. during his 3 years of life. it is really fast the possible ground defensive in gaza, palestinians elsewhere fear its effects will increasingly impact them. without that, i mean, i'll just run my la. okay, hold it back to you. we mentioned earlier those comments by palestinian authority. president ma, with a boss, i need you to walk us through them. walk our viewers through them because we need to remember in the midst of all of this, yes is realize that war in gaza, but there's this bid arrival. re has been for a decade plus, between the boss, palestinian authority president and the homeless is absolutely. and then when it comes to guys that i mean the authority, there is how mazda was
11:28 am
a bitch of fight between 5 to and have my back back in 2007, but have as much industry bose itself. now my buddha, about the president of the palestinian authority, has been absent more than present ever since this crisis started. he has not appeared publicly. he has not addressed the police digging people. all the statements we hear from him are through the official news agency, wafaa, and basic. most of them are basically a account of his phone conversations with a far leader being president joe biden or lately. but it's when and put a new code on my door, and i just want to tell you about one uh account that might explain the whole situation very well. when that report 1st came out last night. he was quoted as saying that how much does not represent the palestinian people and only the piano
11:29 am
defendant severely peroration organization is the sole representative of the palestinian people and their aspiration. then came a 2nd news account which admitted the word of mouth, and that was probably very indicative of the kind of pressure he's under a hold of the mead reporting from ramallah and the occupied west bank. thank you very much. all the jewish and losing groups in the usa that hate crimes are increasing due to the war in gaza. in chicago police, a young boy was stabbed to death and his mother severely injured by the landlord. they're reported to have been targeted because of their face. the suspect has been charged with murder and hate crimes. the boy a palestinian american named dia of for you had just turned 6 years old. his mother is in critical condition. some jewish americans have rallied across the us in support of palestine. organizers a v, if not now, it's planned to protest outside the white house on monday through demanding that us
