me? yes, i've only been counted swap mathis, i'm here in johanna. okay, i so i will click the products just about the southern part of the nurse on there. the communication means there's v a z a page here among the civilians, the people there's nobody is able to reach either his family or there's really like this whole. busy thing done different places and i don't know, but if it does is that there is all to see it on. people are really kind of going to say, here's the, here's the really warming for, she's the hospital on for the municipality of the, the, the, the said to make is a big deal. so among the banks of 5 days, a really bad target, a car get the she's the house because then there is no more red line. that's the feel i'm the to do is because the last time they bought it

a lot in the hospital the people also they said and they they were afraid that a bike probably getting cost because everything is legit based on everything could be a target or full size of the, the army and the wave of casualties have been arriving to the governor slip hospital from south. the more there is no safe place. on the last step on the left is the procedure. nothing else internet on the move by the networks like created ties of being reinstated among the similar people. so much richard, i'm beloved since the hospital that is you can come by and call in for about an accident. i mean. busy i need food and i knew it, you know, the only way to put the medicaid with i'm the lunches on with the kids. it is the

through the, the bio or the land lies of the, the 2 sites i've been providing a pretty close or like confidence or something like that. so now nobody's able to reach. i mean. busy the underlines underneath it seems to inform or to defend about any accidental and exclusive. so i thought you were mentioning earlier that when i asked if it was possible for you to get to a place of safety, you said there is no place of safety in gaza. can you describe to our viewers who are watching this around the world? the, the atmosphere that there is at the moment that the fear that you have talked about as well. now it's uh, it's all and it's like the goddess it is really a psych bridge, but uh, let's see the documents on the silent we can do uh,

both flashes coming from like the notes of we can see it splashes from the most of the guys i think the c d i m b 's by the way on the display. so the central area. oh does that, which is part of the, the area, the faced area. that is what i claim to be for the product senior go to the people in gaza. the list of people here in my area and there is but the day that was, that had been civil inside the hit, the residential areas we, i was in the look on top of the day. i'm not a 100 percent in there, but i put the looks of the date academy and says about this. and they have been getting up above is from under the under the ban of the destroyed or the head places. and again, again, the phase of period, i'll give you

a speed on products here because on the southern will complete cost. all of the communication on the internet. the in the it's easiest for you. that's in this profession for something. the very big put the uh, the lawn uh, in the bronze invasion would be something else, but this is what the people here around me and all of my neighbors look nice old on us. what's, what's going on if i heard of, i also have been disconnected because they believed it because the word for i just, you know, we have the, we are connected because we can find ways to, to get the new or yes i, we call them back. yeah. we, we can get connected in some way or another bus. we come up the are completely nixon i'm aware of what is going on in different places all over the goddess, the stuff that you mentioned that you were in that particular part of guys at the

moment, towards the center of the city. is there any indication that people are going to start moving from the north of gaza, further to the side, as they know fear that a ground invasion is possible? look what's happened in the previous days, the doctor and the people that lived a good place to the thousands and thousands of king. i'm sure sure. a safe place or you know, they could even meet the minimum vehicle that they liked, including both of us looked up, but many people, by the way, uh, 8 or 10 boxes of 50, on the notes of the guns. my family, my father and brothers who stayed in my place. they thought that it could be a place then after 2 days they said, my father said that it would do it is unsafe. i wouldn't go back to my mom into

about. yeah. and we, you know, we are in touch every day on all things, always calling me to ask if we are to face up sort of you with this and live the feel in my area where it was expected. um, a menu had expected that each area so and since that is would be safe on that of casualties. 100 people have been killed since we moved to this area last week. uh, thousands of people injured the hospitals all over was the thousands of people are shipping either and you'd like to go or print the houses and they cannot meet the minimum needs of for the assignments including was a on, on other daily news those. so for loss, there is no safe place under what happened with our colleagues. was the full full,

his family to the south, thinking that it could be safe for his family is another full that there is no safe place all over the goddess of south what all colors and gaza. thank you. the well for those of you have just joined us, is past 17 g m t, that's 8 pm in gaza strip spring subjected to an intense it's really been bomb. and for the last hour and a half these latest pictures out of gas. and as always, you say the communications are being taught health is really musician warnings the stuff at the biggest hospital in gaza. obviously if the officer choosing homeless of using the hospital, what it calls terrorist activities. meanwhile, these are images from ash cologne in southern israel. several rockers launched from gaza. i fit buildings in the city where to get more budget and not have gotten into

james base and sold him dollar cock professor of public policy at home. i've been calling for university. they've been with us for the last few hours of is beeping covering the un general assembly specialist session and also the attacks that we've been watching across the guns. a skyline stilton. i want to come back to you just very briefly. you were talking to us about in the hospital. that was israel had said was being used by homeless as a base. we saw a press conference where the, the stuff, there was thing that is not the case. just remind our view is very briefly that the situation to the hospitalization at the moment you said it was the only building and remodeled was left. it's, it's in the middle phonetic called every mile, which was destroyed by is out on the last few days this started from the 2nd day on the same assumption that the, that the have mass leadership, it's summer in tunnels under that area. so they've taken out literally every building, so it's not the only building standing in that area. and by, by being there, it's become

a refuge for all the people who lost their homes from every mount area. so as we're heading into the porch area, there's an estimate of about 80000 people who are dependent on this facility. and it's a large facility. it's an old building. we're sitting at a belongs to british as a quarantine and gaza. and then as i noticed this building very, very well, they occupied it twice before for a long period and from 1967 to 2005. so this accurate these claims, i'm not really uh, not only just unrealistic, but they're also being tested before back in 2014. the same claim was made and it was hit and that was reconstructed. there were lots of intervention around around this area on the basis that the mass, how much movement is using it, does that quarter. and then it was proven wrong. and i think today to be proven wrong again. and as we had to edit from that a force from the hospital,

the doctors, there's a come and see and send international delegates at i c r c. it continuously operate from within this hospital, the international for the, the dimension for the nation via the processing and red crescent, also a price on this hospital. another one. until recently, until the 16th, when the, or the 13th, when they asked the stuff to move from north to the south. that's hospital us for the, for, and doctors and nurses. so uh, that whole story is really an excuse to what i see it is coming now, and that is the land operation. james of let's talk about, um we've been talking about the un general assembly. uh, but i want to talk about the white of implications of this because were waiting for the vote out the un general assembly on this. these proposals are to be put forward by jordan. but we've also seen the a partly report so that the contract has been attempting to mediate some sort of sees far and attempting also to mediate some sort of

a change of exchange of caps and as far as hostages that are being held in palestinian, i is excuse me, palestinians who are being held in in is really jails. given what we're seeing at the moment. where do you think all of those lies and how do you think it's what we're seeing on the screenings, and have been seen for the last hour or so, is going to impact how people feel, how countries romans, of the region, particularly regard the situation we'll catch i'll certainly be doing very, very intense diplomacy. i would imagine seeing the picture is pretty frantic diplomacy, given what is happening on the ground because of this clearly cannot make that life any easier. um, you know, i think we have potentially reached a new stage, a new point in this. it is interesting not just the bump bump and we're seeing on the ground in garza, but the fact that they have now costs all of the communication lines. yes, we're able to speak to a correspondent in gaza. that's because we were

a television company with sophisticated equipment that allows you to speak to, but no one else now can speak. no one else can speak to the outside will cause that is effectively gone. black. why host, as israel decided to do that, at this stage, i was in baghdad, shock renewal. when that took place in 2003, that was the 1st thing the americans did was cut the international communications. these right, these haven't done this till now. there must be a reason full this. is this an act of defiance to the un general assembly that's going on? now, that's a possibility. is it these riley's knowing that perhaps the us position in terms of a true so see, spiral pause is softening by the day. and perhaps that trying to get as much military advantage now. but full, that position changes or as a correspondent on the ground is just suggested, is this actually because the planning? and so tom mentioned this extra short time ago that planning to start the next phase that the ground offensive could be very, very imminent. indeed,

we don't know the answer to that question yet, but the next few hours could be absolutely key, not just what happens in the u. n, but what happens on the ground here, james, thanks very much of the gentleman. stay with us. we're gonna be coming back to of course, in the next hour or so. but i want to go to another story. these really on a has a keys home us of using the infrastructure of the biggest hospital in gaza, all shift. but what it caused terrorist activities were gonna go to south dakota for his life wasn't occupied the easter eastern side of we were just talking about this with salt on a moment ago. one of the allegations that israel is making yeah, well, it's incredible wrote because a couple of hours ago when this was announced by the all me, all of us know that i was just a hostile being the largest one. it has thousands of people that had already left the homes to go to the hospital to take refuge. it's one of the main ones. it's treating a lot to the wounded and those a ended in this war. it's a big accusation from the army. the army has basically accused how much as using it

as its main headquarters, as it said, it's main central come on the place where it's the siding on what kind of operations it carries out. and. and it's a big accusation because it's saying, but underneath this hospital, all the tunnels, and that's where it's headquarters for how much is that's where the big decisions are being made. now, of course, how much has come back soon off to that within minutes, saying that this is all wise and propaganda. the israel is trying to convince the world to pre ends, potentially hitting it in not statement by the all me. they did a quarter on it and all of those in the area in the hospital to evacuate, which is an impossible task, given the number of patients that are staying now, we're talking a few 1000 and we've been seeing robust costs at, from teams on the ground the level of business in the hospital, whether it's just not enough medical supplies as nothing else doctors. and you can

see that they are incredibly overwhelmed under a system that is already collapsed with a number of hospitals that have already been boned. since this was started, i just wanted to go through some of the things, but they said they said that some they had issued a war, the issue of warning for people to evacuate. they said that israel is putting a red flag for the world on this. the do you know that they will continue to talk and seeing how i'm us. and again, as james was saying, could this be a potential wanting to target so that it can justify what it's doing in front of the international, especially when you have you when members are accusing of will crimes and genocide . and just to give you a basic context on all the shift, the hospital that whole area, including the complex, it's a must, it's complex, has between 50 to 60000 people that i've already been displaced multiple times. i'm

not is in the southern parts of gauze in a place where israel said the goals and should go to these. randy ami also released a video showing a more comp, if you like, of where they say this headquarters is again, how much has told i'll just there and since then, come out really sing several statements said, but this is incorrect. they said in the, in their i was, they said this is a prelude to committing a new mexico against people which will be bigger than and they're referring to those $500.00 people that were killed in the national baptist hospital when that was struck. and they said that we want of a new mexico, the quoting or not just the united nations, but also the arab and islamic countries to stop this attack. and then since the announcement, rob, we've obviously seen the some of the biggest, what seems like the biggest bombardment in northern and central garza. and of course, of course, the communications coming down. but i do want to add some things here from the red

cross that from the palestinian red crescent, the causes of the moving story. so we get single lots of comment coming out. they said we completely cuts off now from communication with the operations room in the gaza strip. it says that it's even affecting central communication services in the number that people can call for emergencies. you know, like in some countries, 999 or 911, depending where you are in the world. and the number is now down of course, or communicate sions all down, which makes it incredibly hard. also to be able to come to the aid of those that needs that the civilians, mostly women and children that are being targeted rob. so just as you've been talking, we were looking at more live pictures of this kind of guy. so we can see the explosions that are happening that are lighting up the sky as you're talking. but earlier on we also saw what i understood to be rockets being fired from gaza

into israel. and i real i, i understand that that is part of an ongoing process all be at a somewhat sporadic when i believe that i've been targeting tel aviv and also ask along as well, what more do you know about those to yeah, that's right. that happened just 2 hours earlier in the day. we've been seeing this happening every couple of days or so. but there's definitely been an increase from us every time it's sending those rockets across into is relative warning is we're all saying that this is because of the war and because of killing the own civilians within garza now in the last st faced increasing bombardment that we've been saying they've sent in a huge number of rockets. we're still getting more information, but it's in several areas in the southern towns along the border with garza in the north and central. and so as far as how util from today, there's been full injuries. uh, that's what we have at the moment, but again,

because it's a moving story that's clearly plus possibly going to change. we have been told that potentially that will be another statement from that, from these riley military. i'm just looking at the why the picture of this whole scenario. this has happened before multiple of times in previous was carried out by israel on garza. it's it's, it's a classic template. and so if you like and they caught the communication, the internet was caught a few weeks ago when the war started on the last fare. let me interrupt here because we that is very medically spokes. the statement that you're talking about just there, it seems to be happening now. we're going to go, go, go over to them. i'm going to listen to the south. as to the most part of this trip, we, there were certain fighting from lebanon and we responded to the

origin. and social 5, we will continue to, to target the hide out of infiltrate the ends, separate tears. any threat to the state as is ryan and any party behind will pay the price by his life us. we are constantly and regularly evaluating the situation this morning. the a is defenses for yelled at the attempt of attack egypt and the united states would continue to co operate in politics. and we did today that we will continue to fulfill our duty. and i request the citizens of israel to listen to the instructions given by the home front. the enemy is

a still long chain grok. it's 10 to see if and instructions please. head to the shelters and bunkers will receive some reports of that. some citizens most abiding by the instructions given by the home front. it is part of the mechanism of 3rd texan, please. he the cold given by the home front, including the sightings we have contacted that electives all 310 victims from those killed and kidnapped as we speak. color hot, our hearts go out to the kid. not the captives on this day that the evening. we are committed to our duties. we will bring all the

captives home. this is the 3rd week or for our, our me, security personnel are deployed across our territories. they land in the ad and in the see defending a lot of states. as i have on was repeated, we have per tech to old, the protection we have layer of protection. at the same times, we are faced with several threats. are there any negotiations taking place for the release of captives today we spoke about what is taking place on the safe hosp. then we will continue

to gather the intelligence as we operate we are collecting or that event information about data is related to the hey, humanitarian aid. we will keep the whole world community informed. at the same time, we will continue to report to the world, the tactics adopted by him as taking heed civilians as humans. he is, we cannot allow any. so that again is the state of is right and we are united and we are backed by the whole was and with respect to the 2nd part of question regarding a swap deal or negotiations, i say that

there is a psychological warfare again, is the citizens of is a and once we have the information, we will disclose them or any piece of information related to the captives will be watching. i'll just say that 1723 g m t. this is a press conference being given by and is really military spokesman with regard to an update as he was getting all of the various operations that these are the military has been counting. i was referring to 11 on referring to having a sense of a filed and attempted attack. i want to bring in the sort of kind of how it behooves lifeless and occupied east jerusalem sought out. of course, this whole happening at a time when we're seeing extraordinary pictures from the skyline of jobs, of, of massive explosions. yeah, absolutely. it's interesting to until uh, not suddenly that 1st part that we heard there's been no mention of the situation that in gauze, but he did say that there was firing from level known that they've responded to any

of those targets. he's warned against any policy the attacks is ro will beat, will be paying a heavy price. this is all stuff we've heard. time and time again. he said that they are constantly and regularly evaluating threats. now of course, those threats is not just from the southern parts of israel, i. e. gaus, but it's also coming from the lebanese on group has been lost in the north, which is continuing to still strike at israel as all these thomas rockets that is still developing. and we're still waiting to hear more on that. he also said that when he was aust in particular, which of course is something these really public is really keen to push for as more information on what the government's prime is moving forward in terms of those uh, is ratings or how it's captive in gaza. and uh, it seems that uh he, you, similar responses already said that some,

once they have more information that they will be sharing that. he said, but clearly there's a psychological wolf against is relevant. and he's referring to how much already releasing full concepts to those where his really to them ways riley citizens. and it's clearly pushing the us an agent to ensure that more of those concepts release we had spoken earlier with sources told. i'll just narrow that some potentially, there may be more numbers release in return for attempt for receipts 5. that is yet to materialize. but given what we're saying with the warnings all on regarding all ship a hospital telling people to evacuate from that, a ton in gaza into documents not just in terms of electricity, but online as well as offline that could potentially means that they are moving in . so that next step is it's really hard to tell. this is something they've done before through multiple boys on guards. it has been 5,

was and they tend to plunge it into the cliff cockpit or from the walls, and then move in. the say, i think i do have an answer to that when it was rear. admiral daniel, how got a was holding in that was holding the news conference. we weren't able to get the audio from the initial part of the statement that he made. but in the 1st one of the 1st things he said was the ground forces are expanding their operations tonight he says, we call on residents of gaza city to move sides. so it does look as though it's pretty clear they are intending to, as we have been speculating for the last hour. so they are intending to move forward with some sort of significant military operation. not least because as you, as you being describing, they've been cutting off the communications in gaza, which is normally a precursor to some sort of ground in a military operation as we seen in conflicts around the world setup for no, thank you very much indeed. that sort of kind of has been bringing this up to date from occupied east jerusalem. i want to bring back in. so it's on has been with us

for they are there coverage for the last few hours once you've assessments of the way that these varies are approaching this, given that we've only seen a brief preference by the spokesman to an expansion of drawn forces. to see this choice of the timing is, is really designed to show, to disregard to the international community and your control can debate and discuss as far as your life. we're going to go ahead with pursuing our objectives. we don't care and it will uh, leave the united states and the country that supported is around for the canada, united kingdom and a very difficult position in terms of international relations. but the, it's, it's typical, i mean, it was expected. i think me, james, i'm more than just go back to the you and stuff very briefly. we've been waiting for this vote. i believe that that the session may have been paused at the moment and we're expecting this vote at 19 gm gm teeth,

but i understand that the secretary general of the un has been as productive statements. yeah, the sex general speaking some 90 minutes before we're expecting this boat to take place and put out i'm gonna think having seen the site for general statements over the last 3 weeks, really the most desperate state we've come, we have coming out from the un secretary set channel to this point, let me just quote, a little bit. the humanitarian system in gaza is facing a total collapse with unimaginable consequences for more than $2000000.00 citizens . you've been with us that they used to be about 500 trucks a day coming into garza. and yet they've only been 12 trucks a day that have entered. and he says that this the given the desperate and dramatic situation. this is the key, but the united nations will not be able to continue to deliver aid inside garza with us and immediate and fundamental shift and how aid is going on. he says the verification system that's what's being insisted on by israel. he says it's not

good enough, it needs to be adjusted to it. how many more trucks? i welcome to drawing global consensus for humanitarian pause. you that adds misery is going by the minute. this is the moment of truth. history is judging as old. well, history is judging the world is also judging israel and you're seeing that on your screens right now. james, thank you very much indeed. so somebody come, we appreciate you being with us. thank you very much and feed. thank or at least for palestinians were killed by these very ami and the occupied wife banking overnight attacks that in confrontations between palestinian fighters and his reading soldiers, conducting raids, videos, circulating online show is very forces storming the searching as you need and on cons that that you need refugee come to bring installation the palestinians, hey, or burying the dead now it's worth pointing out that this actual graveyard.
