the asking questions. how is the community after the site? hearing the facts. this is the legacy of colonialism. understanding the reality. we're closing from the section. it's a race to flying. people still with seeing this journalism and in depth coverage to 0 is teams on the ground. bring you closer to the thoughts of the story. israel sage, and destruction of gauze is a few minutes harry and catastrophe. friends, 2300000 people. those of the united nations woods as it moves the cutting off the water food fuel and electricity is a war crime. so what can stop such collective punishments? this is inside story. the

hello and welcome to the program. i'm toma cried. it's been like into a medieval siege, a total blockade of one of the most densely populated areas in the world. while the bombing in time neighborhoods to revel is ro has also cut off supplies. no fuel means nor power for generations threatening the lives of the young, old and critically ill who have managed to make it to hospital on the is rarely bombardments the celebration. ponds not working effectively means drinking water is running out. and both of mines of damaged food is also running out and many a suffering hung up is where i was accused by the united nations and human rights officials of carrying out a war crime through which siege. israel continues regardless, supported by the united states in many european union nations. so will consult this

collective punishment of 2300000 people will be asking this and more about gifts and just a few moments. but 1st tiny milk lou describes the impact of as well. sage from inside garza, people are now hungry or as the owner of the commissioner has stated, the residents of the gaza strip are expected to face an otter disaster. and in the coming days caught in a trap in a war zone and the residence of this a small territory are expected to see some unimaginable suffering as the humanitarian situations are worse than in an age halfing day. 80 group is stated that water supply sanitation in hygiene facilities have really been disruptive services to more than 700 people evacuating or from the northern part garza city to the southern part of the gaza strip.

which only me now august in con eunice and guns as month. so sherman of residents have cancer in ramallah is bush or kelly the policy late in the occupied palestinian territory. and as ro for aux fan and basically him is were home jaffar, a communications and advocacy coordinator for the occupied palestinian territory for action. i thank you very much for joining us here on inside story. so if i can begin with you, you are obviously living. this humanitarian crisis died and die out there in gaza. we've heard from the un secretary general who's just reiterated that the situation is getting worse and worse each and every hour. can you just explain exactly where you are right now and, and what the situation is like and gather as it stands? oh, thank you. probably the program was here just um, i'm now located in the also hospital inside notice in the south of the gal district . um, do you anticipate the general tab?

i mean, i'm wondering how we can get better. right now. we have over 8000 builds. 20000 in just borders are still the most. until now, the 50 the 60 trucks have come in since the last $23.00 days. normally we expect onto the truck. so the, during the war time temperature last tax on that has been sort, garza light falls for us. all my family must have been bumped down jackson's having broke little bu hospital. hundreds killed in them was the police. it together was hundreds of refugees this way and has, has luck only luckily, chopped off the tops and then it puts the tops in addition to not allowing any food coming in. but they've also tried to stop communication in the inside and outside the world. the situation is getting worse and also time and rom of want to talk

a little bit about the, the looting that we have seen recently for the very 1st time since the war broke out. we're seeing people so disparate that they have been forced to go to and run depots and, and fin to themselves, find the food, take it home to feed the families. how big of a concern is it that this is now happening and things and the so if you see them at a very difficult situation and i've been to get them to fix the tuition and the saw, and garza and it's under the it, it book it on seats denying the entry of basic for the items and the fuel and the medical supplies. and the, there is no waiting for the city and the people do not have any sense of place to go with the goal. and the, even though it's because the under continuous district of phone bank and the

evacuation is the people to know where to go and that is here, but it didn't get done through fee. it is assumed that level of starting to think civilians and it does. it and you want to get him conducted is also you come up with the cried the whole situation and gather is so in this situation, but i'm more he wants pressure on the order and the hope it isn't. so he went to a good addition, come up at ward or continue to work onto this situation and where there is no electricity. what is there is no, no, it's in southern guns. i am it's, i don't the 87 of the human. he said he had a detective that's instead does a floor tool pointed to the 1000000 people. this is not sufficient. this is not the bed and that there is no 6 extra score. he went to the city and the kind of doors

to into and to allow people to is to duty to this is basically it's, i mean the what that is but, and wanted and them is that it has to be, does come up the, the 3 to is the old, the interest and was the one of the people and they receive it from the continue was pumping it up thought a good says most concepts and should have been woman. and so i cannot get all the words to describe the situation that people or the people didn't get the best to to. and so there is an engine school and an in egypt called street and you get seats via and it needs yet to pause uh for this, for this to your, the via loans. i just see what i can see began again to the end of the problem. you know, the only one uh, not finding the words to describe what is happening in dallas or at this point in

time. butcher. the un wounds that civil order was dissolving inside gaza. because of the pressure, that's the 2300000 people there around, is that what we're seeing here now people are having to, i mean, you know, you have to understand people, garza before the 7th of october, is a place where there's no homeless people despite a humanitarian crisis and living under seats for 16 years, there's no crime in gaza is that's not existence. so for people to be looting on our well and people that are dependent on aid and have always been dependent, i miss not anything new for guys. and they've been living on the rank of humanitarian catastrophe. and the way that we've seen it in the last few weeks for years because of the illegal is really blockade imposed on gods by cutting off the from many basic supplies for people to be looting. lower and rice. i mean that's, that's the situation must be very desperate and must be,

you know, p n, i know from my, from myself and we've, we've heard our colleague that and because they're saying that on his own family, he's a, he's been impacted by the environments i have my own family as well and gaza. they were sharing to tons of to and i so as a mom myself, i would probably also, uh get any my hands on any type of flower or food to be able to, to feed my children. it's a very natural, i think, and human thing to do. there's been also very conflicted reports about this new thing and why that happened. i had direct witness testimonies about this thing that actually was been parted right after people had due to that and had been asked to be evacuated. so there are a different reports on that. i know that it's not clear because we're unable to contact anybody because connection lines has been completely disrupted. so we're not even able to speak to our colleagues or speak to, to our family,

to really understand what is going on as the minutes go by. it's, it's terrifying. it certainly, it certainly isn't that lack of communication between officials but also between family members and friends living in does a month. so it must also be extremely difficult at this time. we've heard over the last couple of days that this is the 1st time that people inside cancer, a really going hungry that stuff vision is going to become a bigger and bigger issue. is that how it feels, the now mental as you just mentioned, even during the blockade before this war has a very safe place. i mean very it in the do here or any kind of the activity happening. even the small scan, multi sort of talk, the people have to go to the us, but a teaser sportage in the own little to smaller and vice less need their own children and their own expenses. comedies shows you how much of

a massive crisis in terms of the food and nutrition we ought to be to the sense i am getting from the people living across of my across of what i am in the for the difference was don't, 20000 refugees is that the, that ations that'd be able to get things are getting smaller. uh, the deepens, death needs to be said of guessing logic in numbers. and just even if people have a little bit of cash on the side, they can find and buy the food they need. so the one of these, there is a property on those quantities. however, even with all these challenges, the people here, the, are trying to tease high motor on the outside to be factors fit, trust the practice patients and has each of it out as much as they can. what do we need to have for potential? imagine for me to, to, to open the board them on the, particularly for both sides as all kinds of

h to come in as soon as possible. because by today, we should have had to tell just 23 days, find support 100 of trucks. at least 9000 containers of age, which should have replenished, whatever that if you just ate and drank over the last 23 days. remarkable, that of solar light is gone. and then uh, over the last 3 weeks. right. um, do you think that this humanitarian crisis is unfolding and side guides? so do you think that's a deliberate tactic of his royal or simply a consequence of war? and so i think that the, it's the humanitarian quarter doors is not the old and, and it's dark and need yet the seats. my head is not the beauty i've been to, the humanitarian situation of the human said him get the stuff you wouldn't be accepted during the off the coming days and the and we will lead north many people we, many lives would be lost and even the patient people who,

who couldn't 3 day receive them and the kids they want, i think guess there is an if those go to the community to the, or do you start to all the people to the states where you are to the practice of press or on the to adhere to the international community. and also in this regard, i want to emphasize a one point that the means going that the people in get the estimate your to got to get all the time, keep a high, more of a high adherence to a social cohesion and the respect to the law is some familiar, it costs more than 15 members of the defense in one house and they shed everything. so, and the, the main problem, the main thing that we want to focus on now is threats as display us to open human to tell you, go to dodge, to allow it, he went to teddy and it to, in god's us. and also especially the new way which is need the tool

a for it has to be done, which is needed to generate electricity, to a good or to produce degree. and what does what to produce? well, i can, for the people back at us, come up to work because it got to print, you want to print, which is a big component for both and get the information you need. so is that the most to be, i think we focus on it. i am going to say a young, i'm an immediate seats, but i think, yeah, and you know, the only ones who have been calling for that and the schools have been growing louder and louder as the days go on. but still we, you have yet to see anything along those lines. bush, are you with a aux fan? and i have called the step version that is happening in guys and now it's being used as a width and of more. is this a war crime? it may amount due to a war crime we and i think the international community is being very clear about israel's duties and obligations under international law. israel, a book and legally lucky is guys all has been for the last 16 years. we've been

under military occupation here. on the west bank for 57 years, and it has obligations under international law to protect civilian population and not means provide them with basic needs including water, fuel, electricity, and food, and medical supplies. when these essential food items like flour and oil and sugar are prevented from entering the gaza strip because supporters have been closed or, and, or bombed. um, you know, the, the, you know, it's, it's, it's clear that starvation as a method of warfare has been use and it's typically prohibited by international humanitarian law and ad, occupying force. israel has an obligation to ensure the needs and protection of causes population, and that is not currently the case in not to mention the collective punishment as well men. so i want to talk a little bit about fuel because that is also one of the biggest problems that is

facing everyone in counsellor at the moment. i mean is ro still refuses to let any in to the strip? can you just explain how that affects almost every part of life bit yes. the problem right now is that is an in house of the meet and then they can get it off from it. i'll just flip since 23 this. so people rely on the other ways, then the electricity or for the mean function like however, that on some and then units within like hospital like clinics. like um, the rescue sensors, fraud departments, the ambulances accepted off. would you like very have any problem and efficiency and perhaps things charges dropped electrical germany to offset by fuel to without fuel costs. but those will stop working. heathen wins died.

spider as well as of the gulf views up. there will be no more than the connection. there will be no more ways to communicate with each other within the outside world . without viewing as the limited amount of power generation from solar send findings. and the other methods is like very, very, very small. and which is not enough to give enough power for the people here fuel he is not equal to life is more important than to have been water. and the ladies that's an entity like come us when the controlling the skewing, when i urge them to ensure that it is being directed properly as to the organization. something. but i could, i sense that's across the overall,

etc. in order for them to direct it where the believe is the lights, please. uh, the fuel use to answer as soon as possible. or we are committing to posley many other husbands who this mm hm. uh, i uh, action i obviously works extensively right throughout uh, gaza. i mean, i'd agencies, they are now having to make x truly difficult, cools about the limited amount of fuel that they have and with the priorities live with or it should go to ambulances to, to, to get the injured back to hospital with it. it keep thank you by says or generalizes running with it to send it to bakery. so food can be made to feed people. how difficult is that for someone that works for an agency just having to make those types of calls? i've got to make sure that if you want, it's important for everything, it's thing, it's a life. they think it's very similar to water and food,

and we don't know when we come up the good you with what the we've done was to clear what the a for human consumption. we don't to look at the lenses, we come up to also, if you will, is needed. if the, if you want is not available, i think what would be in be this. and also we to not as much as we to with limited step is it is on the ground to, to, to try to help the people, the events, but to on the that also the lack of 50 the continue with something on the c, v. a shortage of with you with it all one word it, it can be did a our movement is indeed it is also. so if you, what is it, is this, what do you need? it has incidents who may need it to, you know, get the know it is yes of. it's not just about getting through the roof of crossing . now. is it to push or can you just help explain to people that might not fully understand that,

that how israel controls up how and move to access and to gals that that, that doesn't necessarily have to come in on trucks. does that or no, i mean it doesn't. and also, i mean, it's important to say you asked the very important question. like how do we make that call? well, actually we wouldn't have to make that call as parties were abiding by their duties and obligations under international law. both parties, by the way, um, uh, uh, on the, on the, on the blockade on guys. uh, and what it does is it has to us for the last 16 years of a block, it was in the legal by the international court of justice a few years ago. and then an advisor sent in. um, israel, of course, control will be as really borders there's only one percent of guidance before the 7th of october that could come in and out of gaza and humanitarian aid and workers of course. but, you know, also on top of this located there were success solutions in the last 10 years. and every time that has been an escalating goes other borders,

look for 4th forcefully closed. so clearly there is that type of control um, from israel. it claims to not have control over the border, but that's incorrect because it gets to close and open the board whenever it chooses to. and it also bombarded dropped off. i mean, in the you, the 1st few days of, of, of this, of this current escalation, the hospital in terms of water and electricity actually gone to the bies. most of its water, at least half of it applies from it, is really company that provides water for it. the same thinking of buying. so electricity from guys, really, grids and, and, you know, of compensates with solar, with solar panels and fuel from the, for the power plant. so they are dependent on these resources by israel and the fact that these can be shut off. so each time isn't, i mean, is it, you know, it is a serious violation of until out and national. i may well,

amount to more crime. yes indeed. month so i'm not too sure if you've been able to see uh from within garza over the last week or so. rallies uh shows of solidarity with palestinians had been growing larger and larger. right around the world. there were more than a 1000000 people, a 2000 stumble, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people in london, turned out to, to walk along the streets, the protesting what is happening inside garza? how important is it? i mean, i know it doesn't actually change the situation, but how important is it to people to put pressure, especially on the wisdom governments that have started with israel here. how important is it from someone sitting inside garza to see that and i guess for people to keep that up. um, honestly uh whenever the people here have access to social media and vcs,

everyone's patients all around the world's times to support the cause of the see need people hear them. drugs are trying to put pressure on the government, has seized the pressure on us for you. this parents dismissal on behalf of the 2300000 people. we're living in laws. i want to take each and every one of you. most of these demonstrations for rights that the government official who puts pressure in different ways in peace, calling abundance. we try to apply the basic human rights. that's all in put into the u. n. all this has been gives me the stuff that has been going to escalate to him over the last 23 days. mm hm. we begin this program by asking one question. one that is very difficult to answer because no one seemingly has been able to come up with one. what do you think is actually going to stop this collective punishment? what is happening with the sage and gaza?

what, what is the disconnect of? but it's, but it's meant to mean yes, i think there wouldn't be this would be a strong political. well, i'm a political leader in the ward and the you to press start on it to the, from the international community from the you and the buses. and the from the political and lead us, as mentioned on to, from the people of the war to continue are you, they think the voices and demonstrating guess as to protest against this escalation, against thought. to think this, to be a 2 is 202-4082 attempts to international, the national. no, this should be a collective ward, acquitted the action and from all the governments, i don't toward it too in order to get them to come together. it to the,

to a c, y, a media to play and for the people who are feeding kids for read it for more than 23 days. a bush read. do you have any heart at this point in time? that at the very least, we're going to see a humanitarian ceasefire put in place before you know more and more people die and goes a, you know, um, organizations like august time have been raising the alarm bells for years on the situation of gauze on what we've been calling for is not only and, and to the siege. and of course an immediate cease fire that goes without saying, but an end to the siege and for the international community to deal with the root causes of this issue. for the walk towards a, a real time bones time with t accountability mechanisms for each point of that time. so uh for a tour as you know,

the justice and this in towards this injustice to resolve this injustice and to resolve this violence. and we have been calling that for 3 years now. and, and that is also my call. and i, i urge also people to support the call that came out a couple weeks ago by more than 600 organizations globally, including big international organizations of one is which one is awesome. calling for an immediate cease fire, but also an entire ceasefire. proposal is part of the open call and its gardner. now more than half a 1000000 signatures and about a week, we urge people to continue making that call for an immediate cease fire. as you said, we have seen it globally. the street has spoken. now leaders need to represent their constituents, they were, they represent constituents, we represent these people and they have to address it it's, it's their responsibility as elected leaders. so you know, we,

enough of the persistent failure of the international community. it is now time. and now there's a window to take real action. mm hm. and so we have about one minute left and the program. i just want to ask you briefly how i agree. are people there about the lack of action from the international community? the people here are challenging all the motions, and so action was like a, b hi. everyone is trying to help to reduce the impact of what is happening and you know, and i've been in the process of buying them in whatever way they can put and leave the pressure of the people here. yes, people are angry, however they believe that's all they can do at this point. the supply has been out all of them in the best online. thank you so much a month. so we, we really appreciate it and really hope for you and your family safety. the inside guns, i think you all 3 of you for joining us on al jazeera, mental sherman bush,

forces came into no rush. i'm really searching based on what killed the people they are completely given off on any international level. it's just all these people have cause award. so let's stay with us, but then they just depend on out to 0 in 5432 more upfront takes on the big issue. this isn't a one off you. something about a systemic issue here. black labs don't really matter in the police for unflinching questions is war with bewanda, imminent rigorous debate? people are dying because of lots of medical treatments, challenging conventional with the fact that people are starting to get angry about this is in itself a sign of progress. join me, mark them on hills upfront one out 0, exploring type this coverage and examining political disco exposing societies. doctor award winning intense investigation
