2:03 pm
injuries and, uh, and uh, uh, those skills. as you can see, those white tents there, that the cabinet has tend to. these are external due course meant for this, this hospital, they have been adjusting such tents in different areas across the yards of the hospital to make room for the extra casualties and the, those who are killed as an extension for the morgue. and the other departments that are fully fully occupied inside the hospital. you know, is there water now in southern gaza? i ask you because there were reports that is real in the us wanted water to be delivered. but then he says it hasn't been there is no water that has reached the south end of god. so we have also checked with the older
2:04 pm
why here in the gods though. uh to confirm that this uh is really uh, claim that smoked or has been restored in this out that have god district. but they have a confirm to us that no water has reached gone set in the southern parts of the gaza strip until now people are still struggling to find the least of drinking water in the side, reporting from hun eunice, and southern guns. and thank you very much. i us and us secretary of state destiny blinking has landed in israel after meeting with the regional leaders in the middle east to discuss the war on garza lincoln is set to meet with the officials. for further talks, he met his really officials and tele v for days ago as a show of solidarity on his 1st stop of them at least visit alan fisher as in west jerusalem or ellen, what are you finding out about this? blinking visit was blinking. prioritizing this
2:05 pm
well, obviously he wants to see, i see a monitoring corner door open to the as really prime minister's office as in the last few hours said toby ne fire, which makes it incredibly difficult for the people who are making their way to rafa . and they have been since the early hours of this morning, believing the comments of until the blinking that the crossing would send be opened and people with dual nationality would be able to make their way to relative safety in egypt. but they're being met with gates being closed and of course, if there's no way out of it, that means there's no way in. so there's no chance of documented tutoring and quarter to bringing in food to water and medical supplies. the guys are so urgently needs. so that would seem to be the 1st order of business and then to express, having spent the last few days bouncing around in the middle east speaking, speaking to 7 leaders in the outer world and pasting that taking the temperature in out of the capitals. that if there is to be and is really growing water and gaza and everyone seems to be pointing in that direction,
2:06 pm
then that it takes into account became auditing impact. it could happen that should be limited, that the americans are king to make sure that this doesn't become a wider confrontation under aware that depending on the extent of the operation, these are these categories and guys that, that might become a very alive option. so onto the blinking will be unsure putting pressure on these relays. i to limit what they do and gas a particularly when it comes to the impact on innocent women, children, and families. ellen, at this point in blinking toward the middle east, what can i say that he's a cheap as well? it would seem at the moment very little. of course, because he's wanted think you might have to be in corner to that hasn't happened. he wanted perhaps to see if there could be a ceasefire. well, people have jewel nationality made their way across the rough across say that has
2:07 pm
been flatly done done by these really prime minister's office. that's not going to happen. he obviously use the believers that he could in the out of capitals to try and put some pressure on him us as well to see if there could be an end to the fighting or some putting done to the fighting. that clearly hasn't happened either . and so while he's been bouncing around and he hasn't achieved a great deal, i know also we know that the joe biden has received an invite from the is released to come here. that is something that is being considered. the local media are reporting that it could be tomorrow or wednesday that joe biden could make his way here. but there has to be what is known and diplomatic speak as deliverables to by who wants to be able to show that he support says real in this and, and certainly his language has been incredibly strong since others after the 1st attack on saturday. he's made a number of statements he's talked about having as rails back,
2:08 pm
but he wants to be able to deliver something. and that must be in the realms of commodity in a commodity and support. or did the very least trying to get a better control citizens out of guys. in the longer term, you want to make sure that from the how much side those that have been captured and are being held and automatic can as well are released. because every american president and every american president running for re election has nightmares about the ones hostage crisis. because that is what finished any chance to be taught to how to being re elected in 1979 replaced by ronald reagan. i would do biking a facing donald trump, that is not something he wants to be handling as we'll look at an election just a year to wait. oh, okay, that's really interesting context. thank you very much for that allen. so we got the latest from jerusalem. we started the hour with the latest from gaza. let's go now to alice's. you were a stephanie decker. you're in southern israel,
2:09 pm
near is the right. you can see gaza from where you are, if i'm not mistaken. what's the latest on your end? yes, we've been hearing the outgoing artillery the wars playing out in real time, and there is a bit of a present, a perspective of it here. you're looking at the northern, the northeastern area of the goals and strip we've seen and asked strikes soon after we arrived here. we can hear a drone in the sky. and so it's very much an active for situation. of course, the whole tool cuz been about when this raise will go in from the ground, the belief would be that this northern areas of the gaza strip would be the areas they would enter from. it is also of course the areas that $1100000.00 civilians more or less, were told to evacuate from not just what you're looking at, but little bit further south goes to city and the area surrounding it from what we
2:10 pm
understand. some people remain in these areas, not having left, not being able to leave, not wanting to leave their homes. so that is the situation here. it is very much as i said, the were playing out in real time. so occasionally you do see the strikes here, outgoing, or tend really even been hearing a heavy machine gun fire being fired from here. what do we know at this hour about the true build up in any military plans to go into gaza as well? from everything we've seen over the last week along this border, is that the troop build up to the is there, it's very active. we tried to head south today. we got very close to han eunice. we were told to stop and turn back, but all along from the northern part to the south, you have heavy troop filled up with tanks. have you had munition heavy military machinery? so for all intents and purposes, and also this is what you're hearing from the political establishment here,
2:11 pm
is that they are ready. we heard from these really chief of staff. he visited troops yesterday, and he said that they were gonna go in. they were going to, uh, eliminate every how mass come under every how mass oper, operative where they plan, where they launch attacks from. and he said we will win, but i think no one is under the illusion that a ground defensive is going to be incredibly difficult. it's something that these really establishment has always been reluctant to do, even in previous wars, and there's heavy machine, gun, fire, outgoing. now i actually, but we were so me tonight we're in there in 2014. and there was always took over ground of invasion and was, was extremely limited because the political establishment didn't want the amount of casualties that they do expect that will come with that. stephanie decor reporting from xerox near the goes to board a thank you very much. stephanie of us ship is standing by to evacuate, americans from the northern port of haifa and israel to cyprus. us authorities have
2:12 pm
not said how many will be taken on board, but they say space is limited and people will be allowed on as they arrive. tens of thousands of us passport holders live in israel. and since the war began, 29 us nationals have been confirmed dead 15 or missing. billing marks has been there for more from hi. so sincerely morning, us officials been working with hundreds of would be passengers to get them registered for this very that will take them across the eastern mediterranean towards cyprus. it's a 12 hour journey. luggage has been limited by the o. r a t c. and that have been some people we've spoken to think fanning about the lack of communication around this evacuation. that's what people have been waiting hours. several of them with a young children and very, very slowly that being allowed over the footbridge down towards the positive battery. the capacity around 2000, we've probably seen just a few 100, so doesn't look like there's going to be as much them on as perhaps you as large as
2:13 pm
expected flight 7 for them to know have been canceled over the past week. also, many carriers suspending the service out of tennessee has been green apple. and so for some people we spoke to here traveling to the us to europe. this was an easy option, particularly for those in the north of israel as a method to leave the country in terms of that thinking, some of the incredibly tool in about the decision to depart many others the saying this is the right time and the right decision because of a phase of a future escalation, even worse than what we've already seen. them not houses that are a hyphen israel, continuing coverage of the israel guns, a warrant alpha 0 when we return the his writings inspired because as 2018 grapes march of return with when israel met the non violent protest was blood ship. hundreds were killed and
2:14 pm
