its place to go is israel continues to prep for a ground invasion. it's an operation by then on wednesday continues to support. there's no going back to the status crow as it stood on october. the 6th. that means insurance from us can no longer terrorize israel. president biden says he supports an independent palestinian state, living equally alongside israel. what's known as the 2 state solution. but only would israel's worth over. well, he call i'm regional and global leaders to help achieve peace. kimberly help him out to 0. the white house, the new speaker of the us house of representatives has put forward a resolution supporting israel and it's one concept. the election of mike johnson on the wednesday followed bids by 3 of the candidates that failed to with the dump support from hotline republicans, louisiana. congressman is an ally of for my president donald trump. the change has been unable to pass any laws since kevin mccarthy was asked to hold on 3 weeks ago

on corresponding to how does your castro sent this update from washington dc. the in the us congress had been champing at the bench to take action, to support is real since the worst start. and on wednesday it finally got its chance after the house finally elected a speaker after 22 days without one republican mike johnson, a trump allied one unanimous support from his party to become the new leader of the house. and even before taking the oath of office, he vowed to pass a resolution to support israel as his 1st act as speaker. the 1st bill that i'm going to bring to this floor in just a little while. i will be in support of our dif, different israel, and we're overdue. and getting that done, we're going to show not only israel, but the entire world that the barbarism of hum us that we have all seen play out on our television screen screens is wretched and wrong. and we're going to stand for

the good in that conflict. the resolution passed with over whelming bipartisan support in the house. it pledges the us to stand by israel against the quote, barbaric war launched by hum us. nowhere doesn't mention protecting civilians in gaza or humanitarian aid or calling on is real to show any kind of restraint. a competing resolution calling for a cease fire and gaza had been introduced earlier. i wish you to, to leave a palestinian american who represents michigan. that resolution got no traction whatsoever. heidi joe castro out. is there a washington? all right, and that's it for me, baron jordan. so now don't forget though you can find much more names and all websites out there at the top. com. there it is on your screen overlay, just on the, i'm going to concert these rails continued funding. all the costs for counting the cost is coming up next stage. and thanks for watching the

a thought provoking honestly. but the patient doesn't have time to wait for the extremely unfortunate, but there are no quick wins and events or research hard hitting interviews. you feel like america is less than the days of these days, or is it just a different full? i think the demography of the process facing realities do you see that the fracture is already starting the g 7 in the us on one side, china and the brakes on the other? i think there is a huge piece of that to happen via the stores on tools to how does era, the hello i money in 5 business. counting the cost on al jazeera, your weekly look at the well, the business and economics this week,

palestinians traps in gaza, pleads the much needed relief. deal was weeks to allow 8 in to be in place. but is it enough to the to monetary and catastrophe? we'll say this week, people in gaza running out of everything, but you know, it's nations is appealing for millions of dollars in an assistant plus cons. that 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 like the god that is being strangled and it seems the wealth has lost its humanity. those all the words of the un agency for palestinian refugees as it was if an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. thousands of people have been killed since as well launched it. submit a tree offensive against thomas and imposed a total fees on the already located enclave residents trapped in gauze. i have no access to food, water, electricity, or even fuel hospitals on

a breaking point boat as a close. so there is no escape. i know where it's safe, even hospitals all being boomed to you as president joe biden says, israel has now agreed to allow humanitarian assistance to begin flowing into concepts. while 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 gent needs for the people in golf. well, the roster 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 garza through ross that require is rarely

approval. operations have been disrupted since israel launched its ministry offensive. now more than 2 weeks ago, the crossing was severely damaged by is ready strikes 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 guns that is closed. 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 rapid crossing. it doesn't sound like a whole lot how far is it going to go? as the us announcement to allow 20 trucks initially into the crossing to

reach garza is not enough to deal with the growing daily needs emerging from the is really bombardment and siege on garza, the un estimates that we need at least 100 trucks a trucks to enter gauze, the daily to meet the growing humanitarian needs, and we need guarantees as 8 workers as well that the 8 workers distributing 8 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 aid 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? well, the destruction of the crossing in particular needs to be repaired. we are hearing 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 people leaving garza through the rough uh crossing. how important is it? at least the very least the people who have medical needs to be allowed to go out. it's absolutely vital the 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 allowed to return and re be re petri a said into gaza 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. well exactly, there are 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 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 growing to monetary and catastrophe. we're struggling to keep up with the needs

that are emerging on the ground. fuel is running out. water is running out, electricity is caught, 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. are now in response to attacks by hum 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 beyond group could seize or benefit from that aid. well, joining me now from brussels is mountain connection a. he's the direct to the european middle east project money. 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 shop about via tax and the harvest. they could fax by, i'm us, which is understandable of 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, the 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, 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 counter productive to the use goal because the systems hasn't been supporting a mouse. but on the contrary, it's arrival. posted in 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 adolph because as you say, jimmy denmark suite and just to name a few of temporarily suspended that 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? yeah, so these programs support various projects on the ground, both in the west bank and gaza. it's, you know, environmental projects infrastructure such as the sewing nation plans, water treatment plans. it supports the civil servants of the past, the minimal, sorry, the, the teachers and dr. the specially, it also provides cash benefits to the poorest posting in families. it supports and g o's, it supports a project supporting women's rights, etc, 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 ego has not done this. a search for member states of the you which you

mentioned have temporarily suspended it. they want to review the aid and re re started afterwards. but still it is a very, very problematic response, 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 of a ending up and how much is hands valid. and so the, the assistance of the europe ends 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 extreme, actually by international standards mines or things of every piece of material that goes into gaza. all the funding from the you to individuals like civil servants. that was thing and civil servants. it's actually based on the list which are screened and invested against the international sanction legs. so there is actually greater control then that is the usual standard. there have always been a lot of, 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 mountain by really appreciate you speaking to us and sharing your thoughts, mountain connectivity, sorry to the european middle east project. a nice role has ordered more than a 1000000 people to leave the northern parts of gauze, but it 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 of palestinian administer of economy and tarney, the chief executive officer at single court holding. thank you for joining us. that i wanted to stop 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 did either going to have an impact on the social life of the 2300000 1st indians living on the surveyor, the closure and been brought up on databases and implemented is preventing that so 20 bucks the only allowing get food and medicine and no fuel. the fuel is a major commodity for the hosp because to operate in addition to that, uh, talking about 20 bucks, definitely this is would not really do any, any social impact for the see any of them that would be also targeted only for the, for the southern part of goods and the for the whole drug assistance was very sure for that to the american administration have been to have it in bold and tried to go to visit as there it is for the last 4 or 5 days of getting get out with this very primitive shim for the results. 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 is that

the reason that you would be sympathetic with is as well as concerns. you know, of course not, of course, not to, i mean the field has been or was it coming from this very side that is being challenged with the assistance, especially fueled 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 florida at least to to bring the, i need the, the system for most with us though, but it, and 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 of it does not mean that goes,

that would die. graduating to think of egypt is right to be cautious in lessing refugees from gaza into a well, i think is a, i mean, this is not the solution. but a scene of this have felt for suffer from the neck by making for the 8th. and the suffered also from the zoo, and that is $6.00 to $7.00. and that's, i don't see that, but the skinny is the, i have the, you know, the, the, the appetite, believe the, the home does any more because they have seen what's happened to the, for the scene is since the, the next button might be $48.00. those who are living and live on on syria and then 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, the 3 of these guys, a no agent kind of a enough, but out, but if it is, so i'm sure that i'm from the vienna, from, from, from the city, i swear, and the thing they have not this, not a 1000000 people. so i,

i agree. yeah. 100 percent of what cc have said to the, to the general to consider this confidence. okay. mazda and stay with me 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 in cause a has one of the highest unemployment rates in the world at 4 seats, 6 percent. let's come back to you more than how have palestinians managed to make a living in gauze, a sense to blockade. you don't have to be the mind you and the mind, the people who are watching us actually that the, the located the have stopped it. often the unit up to the lift. this little goes up . who are these ladies in september of 2005?

i was part of the have only be in the government at that time. they did not go to the scene on the bike, anything they just done it. i know there was a little from casa in september of 2005. i must have over after the, you know that it just elections in the business of johnson. i'm the, i'm the, that's the 2007. so after, as lady have designated 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 comically and, and, and then also socially. and daughter is money and exports and that person 2 beds uh on the floor before it gets everything. ive stopped up to the government, september 2005. so how do they survive if you have no income, how do you live? of the, i mean, the cnn is always, unfortunately they have always find a way and means through a drawer to collect a debt to that in a way. so of a vision for survivor,

that was always the theory for co existence. what i've been seeing is that on, on this it was that easy. it was extremely difficult as, as we would have said, 45 percent of, of, uh, people, i'm not working 50 percent of the 45 out of university graduates, the 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 per capita between the us bank and it goes up guys, 50 percent of the income for give it to of that in the us back. so this has this long located and long siege and don't close that on goods. a have shown these indicators of, you know, that there was a 50 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 the only player in does that because 80 percent of the people have benefited from the other. wow. and do you an agency is programs, especially for medical care education, infrastructure,

the part of frontier and that all the drives monday to celebrate it, to yeah, sorry to interrupt you. i just wanted to say that's all the more reason why that a to so important math instead of crowds full that promise to the administer of economy. and carney, 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 hash them about a spoke to the binds president when a hoity, he started by asking him about the impact of the war on the bank. so peroration, i definitely hope that things will come down because the, the projects are entertaining in gaza. for instance, on the, the west bank. they are not targeting at any political destination, but at the support for the people and clean water is something that people urgently

need. so this one, just one example of what we're doing that. but uh we of course, uh, depending upon what the politic environment allows us to do, 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, particularly in the office and continent on that that takes our books his own. i would say uh we have, we are proud to have been the 1st month is that really built in 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 the ceo's 36 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 well. 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 us click. is it going to be solely about recovery and reconstruction necessarily. but to, to be honest, the day after the terrible destruction as a consequence of us quake, we have offered similar welcome government, our support. and we have no or have developed ideas that could leads to a 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 prioritizing and invest direction to projects to go. but we are strongly committed to this country where we have relations for almost half a century. yeah, 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, 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 free and partnerships can be approved. we must live that we must go beyond the rhetoric. we must walk the talk and the husband very good example. that means don't talk only about extraction, talk about refining for assessing and opening the, the world for parts of the station of african countries in the global economy. how do respond to many african countries, things that it's about time to reform the international financial system. otherwise, many countries would continue to the full on their own depths, 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, 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 must say they have been victims and unfortunate developments of, of nature or anything, something else. and then we need to have specific solutions to the operator. and we did this, for instance when, when it comes to a dead for nature swaps 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 clauses 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 special situation automatically. and it's the best, sorry for that small islands. they've been to enter into lincoln negotiations with the european union, n t i b. so i think we are on a good, 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. so for this week, i'm in touch with us on x, who meaning a switch that money inside and 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 out, is there a dot com slash ctc, which will take you straight to the home page, which has individual reports, things, and todd episodes can use to catch up on that is it for this edition, the counting the cost on money and site from the whole team. thanks for joining us . the news on al jazeera coming up next

with the escalation of the war on garza alger 0 goes to the largest task as an industry to witness how deteriorates and conditions and desperate shortages are impacting the lives of so many of those phases connected to active shipments. building ship shifting this with the wash on the medical stuff and those in need of treatment reflect on the hardship of this conflict if the electricity runs out. so just become the mass graves causes and shift a hospital. on the brink on al jazeera, the plague zone extends much deeper into the mountains, and we've watched a search and rescue efforts to get them the way. despite the risk, we're seeing residents returning to their homes in search of their belonging destruction here completely destroyed seats. minarette and cox here just goes to show again, the challenge of bringing heavy equipment into these areas. the army is deployed.
