many like thousands of people have been protesting across germany to show their support as ro. some gathered in front of bill in front of the guide, caring is ready, flags, as well as post as the photos of captives held in garza and in from thousands rarely than central powers to denounce as well as bombing and seizure of gaza. hundreds of protest has carried flags and banners with messages of support for palestine. a little for me, tell mccray, for the moment we'll be back with more on the war on gaza at the top of the ally counseling the cost is coming up. next the, the situation is so bad by the next to this moment on fiber optics of goods. what are
3:33 pm
the people in the state of shock? people are very scared, very stressed. a lot of people are saying the country contented carter attacks to bombing mosque. i'm shocked by our government. i'm just care about the sides. the hello why? my name's 5. this is counting the cost on al jazeera, your weekly look at the well, the business economics this week, palestinians traps in gaza, pleads the much needed release. deal was weeks to allow 8 in to be in place. but is it enough to the to, to monetary and catastrophe. we'll say this week,
3:34 pm
people in gaza, a running out of everything. you know, it's nations is appealing for millions of dollars in gym class because it has been on the blockade some of the 16 years. we look at how the restrictions on the flow of goods and people have destroyed lines in the god that is being strangled. and it seems the wealth has lost its humanity. those all the words if the un agency for palestinian refugees as it was of an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. thousands of people have been cale since, as well launched, it submitted to the offensive against thomas and imposed a total siege. on the already located enclave residence trapped in gauze, i have no access to food, water, electricity, or even fuel hospitals. on a breaking point boat. as a closed, so there is no escape. i know it is safe,
3:35 pm
even hospitals all being boomed. us president joe biden says israel has now agreed to allow humanitarian assistance to begin flowing into gaza. or egypt has agreed to open the rough up voted, crossing to allow in trunks. the european union is launching an average, has tripled its assistance to the territory. united nations has appealed for 294000000 dollars to address the most just needs for the people in golf. well, the rasa crossing out the border between the southern parts have gone so in egypt is the remaining lifeline to the outside world. but the flow of vehicles and goods through it has been tightly controlled since israel imposed a blockade in 2007 supplies coming into gaza through rough that require is rarely approval. operations have been disrupted since israel launched it some industry offensive. now moving 2 weeks ago, the crossing was severely damaged by is ready strikes
3:36 pm
a needs to be repaired before supplies can even be delivered. hundreds of tons of aid from several countries piled up near the roof of crossing before the due to allowing assistance with reach, cut them up with the alarm crossing, which is the sole passage for trucks carrying goods, fuel and a into gauze that is closed to, to discuss all this, i'm joined now by somebody did some as the regional head of advocacy, media and communications at the norwegian refugee council. thank you for your time, sir. it does now seem we have the steel according to the us to allow in 20 trunks of humanitarian aid into gaza through the roof of crossing. it doesn't sound like a whole lot how far is it going to go? the us announcement to allow 20 trucks initially into the alpha crossing to reach cause a is not enough to deal with the growing daily needs emerging from the is really bombardment and siege on godsa. the un estimates that we need at least 100 trucks,
3:37 pm
a trucks to enter goals and daily to meet the growing humanitarian needs. and we need guarantees as 8 workers as well that aid workers distributing aid will be provided with safety. and those people receiving aid will also be protected from violence. so we need to see an urgent scale up of the aid supplies going in to gaza. immediately. all crossings need to be opened and no restrictions should be placed on the amount of 8 going in. right, even if you get what you want in terms of the aid and the safety aspect, what about the infrastructure that has already been damaged so badly, including the crossing itself? how logistically are you able to get the a through to the people that need it to? well, the destruction of the fast crossing in particular needs to be repaired. we hearing
3:38 pm
that there are reports that there are steps being taken to do this. the, the, the most important message here is that the aide supplies going in should not be restricted on 20 trucks. initially is simply not enough to deal with the scale of the needs on the ground in gaza. there's also been no mention of of people leaving garza through the rough uh crossing. how important is it, at least the very least for people who have medical needs to be allowed to go out. it's absolutely vital that people who have been injured severely injured and wounded during this phone, bergman are allowed to cross into egypt to per gets the medical attention they require. so we're really urging all parties to prioritize medical evacuations for people to receive that treatment. but they must also be guarantees that people are
3:39 pm
allowed to return and re be repacked created into garza as well. well that, that is the risk that many people say that they won't be allowed back in, which is why they don't want them to leave in the 1st place to well, exactly, they're all concerns that if people do leave the safe passage, all civilians is granted that they won't be allowed back into garza so alcohol is not a civilians should be able to leave based on consent. but also based on guarantees that they'd be able to return back into gaza. but the time is running out right now to protect people from violence and the environment is so intense that it's leading to a rolling to monetary and catastrophe. we're struggling to keep up with the needs that of converging on the ground. fuel is running out. water is running out, electricity is caught,
3:40 pm
the services in garza has collapsed. and so that's why it's crucial for us to prioritize the o crossings. remain open and there are no restrictions to aid supplies going into gaza right now to really need the daily humanitarian needs. some of these i really appreciate you talking to us some of the regional head of advocacy media and communications at the norwegian refugee council. thank you. now in response to attacks by home, us on israel nations including denmark, suite in germany and austria have suspended development aid programs through the palestinian territories. that includes funding for you and organizations, the palestinian authority in the west bank and civil civil society groups. thomas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the united states on the european union, and during the se, they fear that the group could seize or benefit from that aid. well,
3:41 pm
joining me now from brussels is mountain connection a. he's the direct to the european middle east project. many thanks for your time. what do you make of the response i followed to the monetary and crisis unfolding and gaza as well. it has been initially driven primarily by the outrage and shock about the, the effects of the harvest. they can fax by a mouse which is understandable. and this has also led to calls in some countries and you know, parts of the european volume and also for suspending you a to the, to the palestinians. the problem with that is that this, this very understandable an entirely legitimate outrage about what we have seen is not coupled with the same kind of outrage and sympathy for the suffering of the palestinians over the many years under the blockade of gauze and the,
3:42 pm
the other problem is that uh, suspending aid is actually punishing the whole population at this moment when the assistance will be most needed. and certainly it is actually conduct productive to the use goal because the systems hasn't been supporting a mouse. but on the contrary, it's arrival. palestinian also rate the based in, in the west bank. so it doesn't make sense originally from the, from these points of view. yeah, let's talk a bit more about these a programs and what they're in aid off, because as you say, jimmy denmark suite and just to name a few of temporarily suspended the development a programs to gone to in the last week or so. what, what do these aid programs do? what if they've been doing historically and what happens when you suddenly switch them off a? yeah, so these a programs to support the various projects on the ground,
3:43 pm
both in the west bank and gaza. it's, you know, environmental projects infrastructure such as the so in nation plans, water treatment plans, it supports the civil servants of the past, the minimal, sorry, the, the teachers and doctor, the specially, it also provides cash benefits to the poorest posting in families. it supports and g o's, it supports the project supporting women's rights, and central, etc, is very broad. and so switching off this vital support right at this moment when we know what guys that is going through is a, is really quite a drastic response. now again, the you has moved down this a search for member states of the you, which you mention have temporarily suspended it. they want to review the aid and re re started afterwards. but still it is a very, very problematic response,
3:44 pm
which i think it reflects the wider political response to, to the crisis that we have seen in europe with some politicians and member states completely taking the side of israel. and again, being kind of blind for the palestinian, the suffering from which actually this crisis has, uh, has been generated up all concerns over a ending up and how much is hands valid? so the, the assistance of the europeans has been actually subjected to greater scripting. then i think anywhere else a all physical aid that goes to gaza in terms of, you know, i was talking about plans for wastewater treatment and so long is actually going there with the approval of israel. and we're very close moines. are in very
3:45 pm
extreme, actually by international standards mines or things of every piece of material that goes into gaza. all of funding from the you to individuals like civil servants posting and civil servants. it's actually based on lists which are screened, invented against the international section lists. so there is actually greater control then, then is the usual standard. uh, there have always been a lot of, uh, you know, suspicions from certain quarters of you politics about these programs. so there has always been greater attention and lots of questions about this. and people have been looking into it and reviewing and monitoring this a very closely. but there is no evidence. and you know, these reviews haven't shown any evidence of a misuse or diversion of these funds. unfortunately, out of time, martin by really appreciate you speaking to us and sharing your thoughts, mountain connectivity direct to the european middle east project. a nice role has
3:46 pm
ordered more than a 1000000 people to leave the northern parts of gauze that is putting pressure on egypt to allow them to cross into the sinai. egypt president says he won't allow refugees from gauntlet into his country. a defacto cc says that would make the peninsula a target for israel. well, our country's and the people have gone to a worry that palestinians leave israel may never allow them to return. joining me now from ramallah as mazda and sent across, he's a form, a palestinian administer of economy, and tarney, the chief executive officer at single court holding. thank you for joining us. that i wanted to start by asking you your reaction to this recent agreement to allow in 20 a truck through the roof across the well, i think this is, this is a very small in the start of the doesn't that either going to have an impact on the social life of the 2300000. but it's jenny, i'm just leaving the vicinity. the closure i've been on but it's on databases and
3:47 pm
implemented is up above that. so $20.00 the only allowing get food and medicine and no fuel going off fuel is a major committee for the us because to operate the in addition to that, the talking about 20. so that's definitely this is will not really do i mean and the social impact for the, for the city is and that would be also targeted only for the, for the southern part of goes down the for the hold. i guess just it was very shame for that to the american administration. have been have it in bold and try to convince as there it is for the last 4 or 5 days of getting get out with this very primitive shame for a result. well, just to add to your points by fuel, that was israel, who has refused the fuel to be included in this age on void because they say how much will then intercept the fuel and use it for their own reasons of it is that the reason that you would be sympathetic with is as well as concerns. you know,
3:48 pm
of course not, of course, not the, i mean the field has been or was it coming from this very side that is being generated with the assistance, especially if you would, for the rest of the company and also for the use of people to move around so i think and the 4 of us, but the store, but it's a now the need for a fuel is not listed on the need for the blacks and, and also for and so i believe the fuel is a fight importance for to, for at least to, to bring the, i need the, the system for us because nobody's in these kind of the circumstances. you know, that the thousands of casualties every day under this, of the people every day. so without having the, the, the, the buffer functioning photos. but that does not mean that goes, that would die. graduating to think of egypt is right to be cautious and lessing refugees from gaza into as well. i think is a,
3:49 pm
i mean this is not distribution, but it's dean and it's helpful for suffer from uh, the next by looking for the 8th and the sofa also from the end of the 6 to 7. and that's, i don't see that, but a standing is the, i have the, you know, the, the, the advertise believe the, the, the of holding us any more because they have seen what's happened to the, for the scene is since the next button might be 48 those who are living and live on on syria and i can, that's what i don't do well. so i think enough is enough. this, it from one have the agent to have the, the, the photo. right? so it's not accepting, but the students who come in to be pushed by the forces to, to, to the very 3 to these guys. a no agent kind of a enough, but out of. but if it is from should not from the vienna, from, from, from city a, that's what and the thing they have not this, not the 1000000 people. so i, i agree. yeah. 100 percent of what cc have said to the, to the general counsel and their best confidence. okay. nothing to stay with me
3:50 pm
because i want to get some context to this will between israel and gaza. it's, it's worth taking a look back into history because so i think security reasons as well and posed a permanent blockade on golf. and since how much to control of this trip in 2007 and that located restricted who could access the tower street and made it difficult for palestinians to work in israel. and as a result of cause, a has one of the highest unemployment rates and the wells at 46 percent. let's come back to you more than how have palestinians managed to make a living in garza since the blockade. you don't have to be the mind. you and the mind, the people who are watching guess actually that the located the have stopped it up to the unit up to the lift that still goes up. who are these ladies in september of 2005? i was part of the have the, in the government at that time, they did not go to the scene on the bite, anything they just done it. i know there was
3:51 pm
a little from casa in september of 2005. i must have over after the, you know, they just elections in the is the stuff concept. i'm the, i'm the, that's the 2007. so after, as lady have visited, have lived together, this thought did the complete sage on it by and see, and this is the fact i was part of the government at that time and they have what this, everything in my own eyes, they gonna make lee and also socially and daughter is money and exports on that person to get to the flow of what goes everything up, stop after they have that because that september 2005. so how do they survive? if you have no income, how do you live? a look, i mean the scene is always unfortunately they have always find a way and mean stewart to, to, to live and let live in a way. so the vision for survivor, that was always the theory for co existence. what i'm seeing is that on, on this, it was that easy. it was extremely difficult as, as you'd have said, 45 percent of,
3:52 pm
of, uh, people, i'm not working 50 percent of the 45. i'm a university graduates, a 80 percent of the gods of the poverty line for the last 18 years. also, in addition to that, you know, if you look at the income that comes up between the us bank and it goes up guys, it's 50 percent of the company to invest in the us back. so this has this long located and long seasoned. don't close that on goods a have shown these indicators of you know, that it gets uh 80 percent of its inhabitants of extra difficulties from the, from that i did for the aid from this. but it kind of the fee of, of, by this time. so that means that people have been suffering. another one was being that the, the only player in guns that because 80 percent of the people have benefited from the under the law. and do you and the agency is programs, especially for medical care education, infrastructure, the part of frontier and that all the size that data is celebrated to. yeah, sorry to interrupt to you. i just wanted to say that's all the more reason why that
3:53 pm
aid is so important. mazda, instead of crowds full that promise to new administrative economy and carnegie, the chief executive officer, has sent across holding. thank you. now the european investment bank has invested millions of dollars, both in israel and palestine of the past 20 years. it's projects include energy, war to transport facilities for palestinians, as well as the style of nation programs in israel. out of there is have some i heard about us spoke to the binds president when a hoity, he started by asking him about the impact of the war on the bank. so patient vibrate, definitely hope and things that come down because the, the projects are entertaining in gaza. for instance, on the west bank, they are not targeting at any quantity co destination, but at the support for the people and clean water is something that people they need. so this will just one example of what we're doing. yeah. but uh we of course, uh, depending upon what the politic environment allows us to do,
3:54 pm
most of you have financing is always shifting to talk to the climate action. that means that we are likely to see more special funds to deal with climate change and natural disasters ticket in the office in continent. well that, that takes or boxes. so i would say uh we have, we are proud to have been the 1st month is that really building vancouver strong, strongly most strongly focused on climate x. and we are happy that now everybody's on board. and that last year i think it was over a 100000000000 euros that has been invested in this field. so it is 6 of them come from the i'd be alone. so we, we are the leader of the pack and disrespect. and we would like to continue, and of course we need to develop new instruments. and the ones who are just mentioned to our center stage. we are doing this in several parts of the walls. so i think we are aligned with our colleagues, with our peers in the mtv community. you have announced a 1000000000 dollar, lo and form of all code to tackle the aftermath of the quick. is it going to be
3:55 pm
solely about recovery and reconstruction unnecessarily? but to, to be honest, they, after the terrible destruction as a consequence of us quake, we have offered similar work and government, our support. and we have a note of developed ideas that could leads to volume of up to a 1000000000 euros with for the next 3 years. but uh, we, we, here we listen to what the american government is the prioritizing and invest direction. the projects were to go. but we are strongly committed to this country where we have relations for almost half a century. he has been here very, very, very early. and the relationship with morocco is particularly good in this part of the world. do you see the potential for more investments when it comes to the transition to green energy? morocco has been establishing a platform over the last that could be, which is between europe and africa,
3:56 pm
which has huge potential when it comes to renewable energy. absolutely, and be hydrogen issue where we are extremely engaged in the area where the idea and the substance of fruit of partnerships can be approved. we must live that we must go beyond the rhetoric. we must walk the talk and the hydrogens. very good example . that means don't talk only about extraction, talk about refining processing and opening the, the world for parts of the patient, of african countries in the global economy. how do respond to many african countries, things that is about time to be full of the international financial system. otherwise, many countries would continue to do full on their own deaths because they say they cannot afford to continue taking those from international institutions. telling us that you have to impose restrictions of 30 measures, spending costs for you to be able to get the financing,
3:57 pm
or whether it's in europe or an ethical or elsewhere. some times people, countries run into difficulties that difficult is because of their own fault. so let's, let's differentiate that there are others where you might say they have been victims and unfortunate developments of, of nature or, and if it's something else, and then we need to have specific solutions to be offered. and we did this, for instance, uh when, when it comes to a debt for nature swats we are ready to discuss. we are discussing long tenors for the developing countries. we are, we have set up the is program for countries that are under the specific threats of natural disasters. so we include no that should drastic losses into our financing agreements. that means if the disaster hits, if a small island state is just about to be washed away, for instance, then we come in with a, with a, with the conditions of our loans that are going to take care of this, a special situation automatically. and it's not necessary for that small items.
3:58 pm
they've been to enter into links in negotiations with your pin union, an eob e. so i think we are on the good, on a good way together with our partners and to go this house, we must bring more life to the idea of really partnership and getting away from this donor recipient thinking that is, oh, so for this week i'm in touch with us on x will meaning a switch the money inside to use a hash tag h i c t c. when you do or you can drops an e mail accounts and the costs out is there a dot net is address um as movie online at out, is there a dot com slash ctc, which will take you straight to a page which has individual reports, links and todd episodes can use to catch up on that is it for this edition accounting, the calls time of insight from the whole team. thanks for joining us. the new use on out as eric coming up next i'm thinking oh, in the last drops to save you ox. exclusions rivers,
