11:05 am
the gaza strip. it all is started when the is really military spokes person at about 5 pm. the early evening of yesterday distributed a map of the biggest health facility in gaza city limley chicago hospital showing a footprints and rooms that are used by how much leadership and how much element cert, thanks to the whatever. underneath the hospital is the headquarters of how much leadership in response to that, how much the denies any involvement with us. you've a hospital saying that it had nothing underneath the hospital an hour later, the entire gauze, this trip, so in to complete the blackout. disconnected from the internet, as well as the 2 major cellular service providers and the guy that had been pushed out to the service, leaving the entire gaza strip and the gauze and 2500000 people disconnecting the
11:06 am
from the outside world, sending waves of concerns and fears among palestinians living in garza, that a gymnast side was in the making. not knowing exactly if they will wake up the next, the or not at about 637, p on a heavy mazda bombardment. not, not tillery showing, and tang showing as a special forces expanded. they are a authoration on land. the from the north rent western side of the city of bass. i entered the south eastern side of the city of booth to noon, as well as the brazier. yeah, and a, the eastern side or 2 densely populated neighborhoods, i'd say, to an honest is i yeah, a neighborhood. we know the boss from the, the is really focused person. that is, that was the, this, the new strategy and the expansion of these really military operations in the north
11:07 am
and the south. unfortunately, the paramedics and civil defense personnel could not make it to the sides of the apartment, due to lack of communication as the entire communication system has been uh, has been completely disrupted. sidney place, speculation of so many people, tens of people where the direct casualties went, and hundreds of people were killed inside the residential homes. and in higher residential blocks where in the streets and on the uh, the side road of those areas. we up till now we don't have that exact number of the casualties and the exact number of people who have been killed because none of the, the, the civil defense department were 1st paramedics have been able to get to this side
11:08 am
of the a bombardment. now this has, it is, is, i don't think it pressure on, on hospitals who are really working under, under severe pressure and more can be on their capacity 50 times, the under toss it in with the lack of a sudden. so medical supplies and then with no fuel hospital just turned into a large more just to receive did bodies. and when it comes to the, those who are critically injured the, the process is not easy as well because there is no proper medical intervention due to the lack of, of medical of necessary medical supplies for example. and the septic, i've been, has been out of hospitals for the past 2 weeks. and with a little bit of, of humanitarian a come to the dog. this trip there is, is still a, there is a still a serious need and i, your needs for, for more supplies to me, costs,
11:09 am
but those capable of, of, of running the necessary medical intervention to save at, to save lives. now with, with very strikes. continuing, there is the food crisis going on and gaza and, and people are unable to have access to the food supplies. as 2 major markets have been targeted in the past a few days, leaving people without food supplies as well as water supplies. a drinking water is not available these to the lack of, of fuels that runs. the dissemination is stations across the gaza strip. as we know there is only 11 destination system or station that is working. but when, when it, when we think of the number of people who have evacuated from the northern part of gauze at the south, more than 700000 people at the needs,
11:10 am
the arguments are so little compared to do, do they, the immediate needs of, of people there's also a problem as a vaca wish and sites the doctors is started to. 2 report cases of, of diseases in the, in those hospitals a, if you to hello. ok. i that tiny mood speaking to us from con eunice in gaza saying that emergency services, among so many other things, a silence to there's no means of ambulances, ricci locations because no one can tell them where to go. because of the communication is being cut and also no means for family members to contact each other and to find out even if each other is a live old is backed up by the world health organization which says it's still kind of reach and stuff and health facilities in gauze and the statements, its chief says, evacuation of patients is not possible under such circumstances. no to find safe
11:11 am
shelter. the blackout is also make it impossible for evidence as to reach the injured. we're still out of touch with us stuff and health facilities and he says, i'm worried about that safety well, these really ministry says it has expanded his ground operation and goes right over night. let's go to our heart twos, life 1st and occupied history, some insurance. so these are in the army has been speaking once they've been trying of the it has all we need from the full that statement that just was released that they talk and sit. they said more than a 100 thomas pockets, including the underground that also said the safe killed to a senior. how much the does one they said that they believe was behind the october 7 hamas attack. and they also sent someone who was in charge of the navy for him us, um, system about detail is still coming out. but also in that statement, they said that the forces are still present in gaza, that the war is continuing,
11:12 am
and there's been no casualties amongst the own forces. there's lots of information that we're not aware of. and this kind of just gives us an idea from the as riley side on that latest development from those targets overnight. they will say said that that progressing through the stages of the war in gauze. and now, bearing in mind that they said yesterday, the spokesman for these writing men, she said this was an expansion of ground invasion. and he said, but to nights of the all me forces entered through northern garza and expanded the scope of operations we know of from even the polish thing and saw that there were 2 areas that they entered from including a big tanina as well. and they said that again, you know, like i said that the home us naval what does in the, how much they need is was talk. it says um, there's also a video that they've released. and it's, we've seen the video, it's showing a tank, some number of the more than
11:13 am
a 1000 not special gathered together during daylight. and then what seems to be nice shots of them in line on what potentially could have been that moving into cause or it's still not k on those details. but what we also do know is that the prime minister is due to me up meets with the minister of defense, as well as the wood cabinet community to discuss the next step forwards, especially at a time when there's been major concept nation for as a sold so as a night, so huge bombardments of garza and sir, have you managed to get an idea of reaction within israel to all these latest developments? yes. before i give you reaction this just about half an hour ago, sirens when so in the southern towns, the southern is ready, towns, a long dot for the with garza, which is showing how mass is still firing. those kids into is really tired tree and
11:14 am
they did the night as soon as there was that mass compartment of gauze, the not have even thought that they've been sent loads of rockets. the cross switch caused a few injuries but nothing to major. which means the best still puts in non stop fights. however, what's really interesting this morning that we've been hearing from this, from the families of those that would take contrasts is not just size that we're taking caught save, but also we have range from those a still, the family of those are still missing because there is a number of the missing and it's not clear whether they are captives or not. what they said is that they're going to be meeting in about 15 minutes in front of the ministry of defense inside of these demands inc. to see the prime minister himself to meet with him as well as the defense minister come on, i said, and if they don't agreed to meet with them, they will start that protest this evening. they said that they're prepared to take that process to another level. and some of the was that were used by the representative for those families. they said that they are incredibly angry. they
11:15 am
once aunt says they said, especially off to the escalation of, of the night. uh, they said there are really concerned for that family members. and they said they felt of an enormous sense of frustration, but they aren't receiving offices and they are incredibly concerned. they said about the escalation of the night because sale worried the ben family members could potentially be targeted in those is ready, bombardments on gaza. as far as or i, thanks about us or heart the occupied east, jerusalem. let's head over to the white westbank now because the war on doza is being felt right across the region, across to run con, fight to join sly from a job as a refugee camp in the occupied westbank and run. first that we're hearing that the home of a prominent, how much data is being raised to the ground. what, what do we know about that? well the rate actually started around to a. and y'all, is that in refugee kind of where i am right now about 200 is really so just came
11:16 am
into the camp and secured the area around is using heavily on vehicles. they've been brought in a heavily on the bulldozer and destroyed by just knock. lisa's house and a buzzing knock. that is a how much active busy, and joe is a refugee camp and he's been in and out of prison for a very long time. he was lost in prison on, on administrative detention last year. and he was arrested on october, the 9th, i just have to deal toby 7th instance happen pa that round up the we keep saying of a mass activist that finally we've been speaking to them. they say that this is simply is really vengeance. but bodies is not right, isn't actually an armed fighter. he's an old man and he's a political activist for a mass. he is simply just looking for a political solution, and they say that this is collective punishment. the family knew that this might
11:17 am
happen to them. they knew that the, there was a danger of this house being ready because we've seen it many, many times across the occupied westbank and, you know, keep hard east jerusalem. whenever somebody gets arrested from the family. they come in and they raised the family's house 11 people next. lived in this house, those 11 people now homeless for a name or on what about the overnight? right. so we've been saying that they've been happening since day one. pretty much of this, this conflict to what happened last night. well that was not the full res, across multiple locations across the occupied westbank. just as we were speaking, a rated has actually come to an end just south of bethlehem. a we're hearing the at least full palestinians were injured in that raid 8 people were arrested in the rate that took place. hey, angelica and $25.00 people are arrested in total. let me just give you some numbers here. since october 7th and the $1500.00 palestinians have been arrested about
11:18 am
a $105.00 of those. a palestinian sorry, have also been killed. that brings a total to about $6700.00 in is riley joe's right now. $1700.00 of those under administered to detention. they've been held without charge. that's the highest vigor in nearly 20 years or i didn't mind. thanks to that to him or and con the in the occupied westbank. thank you. or let's bring in monica insurance is an associate professor. time i've been coming at university mount. welcome back. so what's your assessment of wherever we go? this communications blackout involves a not taking bombardment on guy. where is this heading now? well, i think what we're seeing now is a number of things, especially the communications blackout, is indicative of an escalating is really ground invasion. we already saw an increasing bombing yesterday. one of the most kind of fittest bombing attacks on gaza. for the same time, we have to understand that the communications cut is both
11:19 am
a strategic decision, but also the combination of 2 weeks of this, the cutting of a few monetary and supplies, including food and water. we have to bear in mind that the internet, the lack of internet, is also the result of a lack of fuel. most of the internet infrastructure and gaza, when it's not being fueled by power, by electricity from the power plant, as it hasn't been recently, relies on generators and batteries that can sustain internet for about 6 hours at a time. but once you have no fuel, no generates as you can, no longer charge batteries, right? so what we're seeing now actually is, is indicative of a really di humanitarian situation. it's both strategic and is really part, but is really to know that this is probably the time now the causes of running completely out of fuel and they can no longer know any power. hospitals generated the con, even power of their own phones. this is, in addition to what we're seeing as intensive strikes on the incident infrastructure, we know that these red has been targeting underground fiber optic cables. so it has been a systematic degradation of the communications infrastructure. but at the same time,
11:20 am
there's also the monitoring aspect of like a fuel that is compounding this and that, that is actually an attack on people's mental well being. those that are alive cause i mean if you're now in gaza, what do you have? you have a situation where you're being fund relentlessly, you're learning about your friends and your families death. uh, the only thing that you have really is each other and solidarity with one another. and if you can come even communicate with people, as you're going to increase your sense of anxiety, i saw a video recently have something saying, well, we have now is god, you know, because people are in such a desperate situation being isolated from one another. that's, you know, there's this kind of absolute sense of, of isolation and alienation from, from the rest of the world. and it, and it goes to rise as well as people. obviously lots of people have family inside gaza even before this recent degradation couldn't contact family members. now this is only going to increase their anxiety. so we're saying increased anxiety and an installation and, and, you know, within gaza but also complete, you know, cutting off of people's ability from that region from the area to communicate with
11:21 am
people outside, of course inquiry how to 2nd guess what was going to happen in the spring, but less than 24 hours ago we were all talking about the weather. it could be a big prisoner release and potential cease fire. and then now that caesar just disappeared off the table together, what you think happened with that? well, i don't know. so we think it's off the table, obviously we things look very close to some sort of breakthrough yesterday. but at the same time, the escalation now of, of as well as a tax increased escalation of a tax. and granting occasions could be a way of trying to secure is really strategic objectives prior to that being ado and that's a familiar tight. so it gives the previous disease, fives they've, there's been an uptick in the offensive, right? because of the fact let's do everything. let's do as much damage as we can before we might be in a situation where we can't do that damage as much, right? so i'd be, i will, i think it's also possible that what this up to could actually suggest that that cease fire is still a possibility. but we thought, be sure it goes to be a bargaining tactic. it could be saying, look, this is how willing we ought to continue with killing more palestinians. and
11:22 am
actually, this is how willing always to potentially launch a ground evasion. that could then be a negotiating tactic to play hardball to, to, to sort of make the other side in the negotiation willing to make more compromises . possibly we had vis you in general assembly resolution that was passed yesterday, which was rejected by the united states and various other countries, including u. k. eps thing from it. at. how much bite does that actually have? well, i think it's, it's a non binding resolution, but i do think there is something good to come out of this. this is showing the us the k is rowe and various other countries that i the rejected or abstained that the weight of international public opinion is very much with palestinians. and this solo garrity should not be under estimated. i should also add, though, i think what's really striking about this is how much it reflects. again, this sort of imperial mentality of the u. k. and the us, the u. k. have just been upon u. k that shows 76 percent of the british people want
11:23 am
a cease fire in the u. s. has been a similar problem that shows a predominant number of people, including republicans once a ceasefire. so what can you tell you governments and the us government that doing our unit actually governing against the, decides that their own population to pursue that kind of foreign policy goes in the middle is showing that what the is really government. one is more important with the citizens of their own country one. and i think there is this kind of growing sense that what is what we're doing is morally reprehensible. and the majority of people in the world, including within the countries that projected actually oppose the actions of not just as well, but their own government supporting israel and interesting context. martin, thank you very much. it must have insurance. you have to do. thank you. what are the talk is president is condemn, friday nights, bombardments, writing on the social media platform that is expressed at time. one said the ever increasing is really bump up and some guys will have a gain. targeted women, children, and innocent civilians deepening this humanitarian crisis. the other one says israel must immediately get out of this state of madness and stop its attacks. and
11:24 am
he called for a launch riley at the tuck airport in this temple to declare the solidarity with palestinians. and as small can i have just been discussing the un general assembly has approved the non binding resolution cooling for a humanitarian tracing gauze. it was past with a 120 volts by a 120 bits. so should say with 45 extensions united states and israel were among the 14 countries that the pasting, as well as on the reports now from you and h q in new york. the us ambassador addressing the united nations general assembly. thank you, mr. president. during a meeting calling for humanitarian truce between israel leaves and palestinians, and at almost exactly the same moment is real began some of its most intense bombardments of gaza. it's unclear of israel time to that and the subsequent blackout of gaza to coincide with the u. n. meeting at that meeting and amendments
11:25 am
sponsored by canada and the us that would have added language condemning how much was voted down a draft resolution. but the 193 member general assembly passed. the main resolution is adopted, authored by jordan and the era group. it calls for an immediate truce release of all civilians and uninhibited flow of humanitarian supplies into guys of the us was the only major world power that voted against it. but even with the overwhelming support, it's unlikely the resolution will mean an end to the war. resolutions adopted in the general assembly are non binding, meaning the israel can just ignore it without many repercussions, as they've done in the past. never the less the palestinian ambassadors spoke after the vote was taken. he said is real should be held accountable because the world has spoken, the general assembly prevent and send the appropriate message. not only to the
11:26 am
finest union people that there is justice and fairness, an international humanitarian. lo opposed it by the general assembly. but also it's send the message to everyone enough is enough. this war has to stop the cottage against a lot of people. it has to stop in 3 weeks into the conflict. and finally, the un has spoken to the, the clear signal, the majority of the world, once to bombardment of guys to, and gabriel's on don't. how does either at the united nations without it we spend time spokesman, as i'm having done from the evidence capital, he says israel has been weakened and is trying to regain to the parents of strength and power is right, is the code at 5 and would want them to and also they have cut out for the phone and the government it's, it's clear that it's, that he needs to move in towards the board because of that,
11:27 am
from different fonts in the north and in bottom of the bottom in the middle of the business. to face to uh, gives the city and the becomes a bridge cabs, especially it's clear that they know that they have lost their all their lives, scroll down and they've lost that active issue. so they want to uh, cut the gun from the world that's in order to comment that climb and a deep silence, but they are awarded about the consequences they had ordered about lots of may have been on the ground and they are facing a very strong resistance from that it's pencil on the ground, they don't want to clam that the the ladder vision. so they can keep some water and sewage as they are talking about small nobody ition, but the clear from the ground that they want to create an image that they have
11:28 am
a victory as an image. getting confidential for the scene is despite and then they have done something on the boards of and this will give it a victory for what they believe it will be an image of victory. i think this will not happen. everyone will see tomorrow how they have good more children and willing by bowman uh, gives us that as the model is trying. so it gives us through and also, but if in thing the actions of uh, maybe killed teams, the civil defense but event take them from head, bring the people taking that and job of them because we bought it to the hoss with those. they want to complete that must have thought of what stopped the 20 days ago are put on friday. a team adult has entered gallons a through the roof or crossing on the border with agents. medics from the red cross are expected to support relief operations. a 10 trucks, the delivery medicine food and both the united nations and the red cross are also
11:29 am
appealing for fuel to be delivered immediately. but protests being held in several cities around the world to show support for palestine. hundreds rallied outside the us embassy in indonesia is capital of jakarta, a condemned as well. so carrying out what they describe as a genocide and goes to the government as cool for an immediate cease fire in new zealand, capital of wellington, thousands of purchases that marched upon them. it's cool for seats, for many carried palestinian flags and blackouts in support of garza. they also want a humanitarian, a, delivered to the territory well, hundreds of interest as they just sit in a new york's grand central station. yes, the great jewish voice of peace is quoting for an immediate cease. our engagement for what it describes is the imminent genocide of posted needs to be hold to the
11:30 am
let's look at some other world news and nearly a year on from is done paid in south korea in which a 159 people were killed. families are still demanding accountability units kim has more now from sol to the nightmare that shocked a nation where many had suffocated in a bottleneck. a wall of remembrance now stands community leader. last week. i still don't understand how something like this could happen to us or you flew by. i can't imagine how it's been for the families. a year ago, the 1st halloween weekend academic restrictions were lifted. this night life hotspot of each one through an influx of people with little crowd control and help was slow to arrive.
