housed and civilians to leave northern gaza should be rescinded, demands for hospital evacuations should also cease, given their protected status under international humanitarian law. all parties must stop violence and prevent any great violations committed against children. we must have humana trained access to all crossing points into the gaza strip through space and efficient supply. routes and parties must ensure the state and unimpeded movement of humanitarian supplies and personnel throughout the gaza strip for the delivery of humanitarian assistance, including but not limited to food, water medicines, fuel and electricity. finally, measures to prevent electricity, food, water, and fuel from entering gaza from israel must be immediately reversed so that civilians have access to the services they need to survive. excellence is yusef, was created almost 77 years ago out of the ashes of world war 2. since then, our commitment to our mission has never wavered. we advocate for the rights of

every child. on behalf of all the children caught in this nightmare, we call on the world to do better. whether they are young people attending a music festival or children going about their daily lives and gaza. they all deserve peace. children do not start conflicts, and they are powerless to stop them. they need all of us to put their safety and security at the forefront of our efforts and to imagine a future where children are healthy, safe and educated. no child deserves any less. thank you. i think this is russell for her briefing. i now give the floor to mrs. leaves a doctor and us. thank you, mr. president. i'm delivering this statement on behalf of emergency relief coordinator and under secretary general for humanitarian affairs, mr. martin griffith, who is currently on mission and israel and the occupied palestinian territory. the

events that have been folded since 7th october have been nothing short of devastating and heartbreaking. we do not forget the 1400 people killed and thousands more injured in taken and the brutal hamas attack indiscriminate rocket fire continues from guys into populated areas of israel, causing more civilian casualties and displacement and trauma. we deplore that 230 people held hostage and gaza. all hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally. we welcome all diplomatic efforts to secure their release and, and that in the interim they be treated humanely and be allowed to receive visits from the international committee of the red cross. as you've just heard from commissioner general, that's really the situation for the more than 2000000 people trapped in the gaza strip is catastrophic. stays now in georgia season. continues bombardment for 23 days. according to the ministry of health and gaza at more than 8000 people have

been killed. 66 percent of whom are said to be women and children. tens of thousands more have been injured. the scale of the her people are experience and gaza is really hard to convey. people are becoming increasingly desperate as a source for food, water, and shelter amid the relentless bombing campaign that's wiping out whole families and entire neighborhoods. in their desperation, people have resorted to breaking into you and warehouses and search of food and water. the hydration is an increasing concern as a possibility of the spread of disease and other health concerns due to unsafe water and breakdown, and sewage treatment services. more than 1400000 people are internally displaced and gaza, and hundreds of thousands of children. women and men are crammed into overcrowded shelters and hospitals. many of these people move south in search of safety, but the reality is that nowhere is safe. and we simply don't have enough

a central supplies to provide for the survival of internally displaced people at the scale. as we heard from executive director russell, the health care system is in tatters. patients lie on the floors and in corridors surgeons are operating without anesthesia out of an estimated $50000.00 pregnant women. 5500 are due to deliver within the next 30 days for the 1000 patients dependent on dialysis and the 130 premature babies and incubators live hangs by a thread. as hospital backup generators run on fumes. some 9000 cancer patients are not receiving adequate care, are, are deeply concerned by allegations of military installations in the close vicinity of hospitals. and the request by his really stories for hospitals, including all codes and she found to be evacuated. there's nowhere say for these patients to go for those on life support and babies and incubators moving would

almost certainly be a death sentence. mr. president, the provision of humanitarian relief is extremely complex and challenging due to the bumper argument, the destruction of the infrastructure. and as we've said repeatedly, the lack of fuel, we more than the loss of $64.00 under colleagues, another humanitarian staff group and tragically killed. and we extend our deepest condolences to the families and colleagues. we have the utmost admiration for the bravery, selflessness and commitment of humanitarian workers who are delivering a to those in need and as perilous environment. mister president, we welcome the agreement that has allowed us to get some relief and the gaza via the rasa border crossing. but these deliveries are dropping ocean compared to the vast scale of needs. as imperative that we're able to get humanitarian supplies and relief and the guys are safely reliably, without impediments and at the scale required. and particularly urgent for us to

replenish fuel supplies, which are vital for powering most of the central services, including hospitals and water dissemination plants and to transport human a term relief inside gaza. and more than one entry point in the gaza is indispensable. if we are to make a difference, kareem shalom between israel and gaza is the only crossing equipped to rapidly process a sufficient shift sufficiently large number of trucks. meanwhile, in the west bank, scores of civilians have been killed and incidents of subtler violence have increased, causing hundreds of civilians to be displaced. likewise, the violence enclosure check points has impeded access to central services and to distribution. the permits of some 150002175000 palestinians from the west bank working in israel and settlements are now suspended. the situation is causing significant damage to the westbank economy and palestinian

institutions. we have very real fears about what lies ahead. the current situation may pale in comparison with what is to come. there is a genuine risk that this work escalate further and spill over into wider region. we must take urgent collective action to prevent this, mr. president and light of all that has been described today, what we're calling for is for the parties to agree to pause the fighting on humanitarian grounds. it would provide the required common safety for hostages to be released and for the un to replenish supplies. relieve exhausted personnel and resume assistance throughout garza wherever civilians are in need. it would also provide much needed respite to civilians were living under unimaginably traumatic conditions. but with or without a pause in the fighting, i reiterate that all parties on all sides must respect international humanitarian law. this means allowing released in and taking constant care to spare civilians

and civilian objects, including humanitarian, medical workers, facilities and assets, and the supplies, whether civilians move or they stay. we are relying on the responsibility of every member state here and across the u. n. to use all of their influence to ensure that the rules of war war are respected and not as far as possible. civilians are spared for their suffering. thank you, mr. president. you're working on your 0. it is 20 o h g m t. we're bringing your coverage of the un security council emergency meeting a was israel is carrying out its ground evasion on guns. are you heard from at least a 1000 there speaking of your half of the emergency relief coordinator mos in griff . it's describing the conditions in gaza as people run out of food, water, of fuel and medical care. we've also heard from the unicef, executive director catherine russell, saying the units have firmly believes the true cost of this latest escalation would

be measured in children's lives. those loss of the violence and those forever changed by it. we also before that heard from mr of felipe last, the beginning of the commissioner general, the united nations recent works agency company known as online for the palestinian refugees. and then the rece, the says, my own work colleagues are the only glimmer of hope for the in talk. guys, a strip array of light as humanity sings into is dr. stars. and all of that happening is you can see a nighttime shot of the gods of sky line there with flashes as the air strikes continue on tunes of smoke over parts of the sky. line one are bringing our diplomatic i to a james base who's been joining me here in the studio and you were listening to it . of course, to that there was a un general assembly special session that was held a couple of days ago. and the security council came in for a loss of choices in prison and for not having been able to achieve anything. but

perhaps this kind of briefing shows exactly why the security council is important. why needs to act? so i think that this is such a sobering assessment of the situation coming from 3 top monetary and officials. and some of those statistics, 70 percent of the big live died of women and children. saved the children reporting that the children of died in gauze that in just 3 weeks that says many children have died in complexes around the world for the last 4 years. another statistics from unicef. they think that if you look at the figures, it's more than 420 children being killed or injured in gaza every single day and the number of un stuff. unruh uh, the agency that you, an agency that deals with palestinians has lost 60 full stuff in 3 weeks. that's the highest number of you and stuff killed in a conflict in that period of time. the really all shocking statistics and what we're seeing now. i think is growing international condemnation of israel and

israel's battle plan taking place. you've seen it as you say in the, in the general assembly with that vote overwhelming. vote a 120 countries in favor. just 14 against a humanitarian c spa coming into play. you'll see it from the humanitarian agencies as they report what's going on on the ground and you sort some cream comm, the chief prosecute to the international criminal court when he went to the rafa crossing all of this pressure on his ro. but of course, we still live a couple of hours ago, prime minister netanyahu st that will be no c spa, c. spa amounts to surrender, is what he said. and i was talking to him on a couple on, on august a, just a, but within the last half hour he was making an interesting point. that although at nothing yahoo may be determined to avoid a cease 5 because as he sees it, that's a capitulation that are giving into hamas the wording of this that we've heard over the last. certainly from the last is last 3 speakers is an increasing call for

a humanitarian pause that humanitarian choose. and to some degree in, in your opinion, how much does this come down to semantics and as much that israel would not go for a cease fire, but it might to go for a temporary pause to allow some sort of humanitarian acts will oppose these a cease fire is just to cease file for a specified period of time. the, the, the following stops ceases for a time to pause that is determined. so suddenly i think it will be, is going to be increasingly called for the united states, which is the one that has been defending is rather than the security council, the key fob is current position. we know that the elected members of the security council lead by most uh, i mean, i remember it. so i'm putting efforts in to try and get a new resolution with told they've got a new text that the now good trying to negotiate with the other countries. and, you know, the united states is not separate from all of this. it's worth noting, for example, catherine russell, who gave that quite impression speech is the head of unicef previous job. if he's

an american, was in the white house working for the president bible. so these people talk to each other and they'll be growing pressure. i think coming with seeing it with the protests on the streets, growing pressure on the us administration to at least have a humanitarian pause. will these readings accept that? or all these ready is going to be completely isolated without even the us supporting. i'm going to ask you about this resolution. you mentioned that this meeting was at the request of united auto bandits. and i believe that the resolution, as you mentioned, is going to be co sponsored by them have significant disappear. think the venue id is, is calling this meeting because there was a lot of speculation that uh, the u i. e was open to some sort of normalizing of relations with israel at one point. yeah. the it is one of the abraham a cool it's countries. so yes it is. it is one of those that has gone quite a long way to normalize. it's a, it's relations with israel and we've seen it in, in the last year or so of flights going between abu dhabi and dabei. and i've been

going at port intel of we've, we've seen is really torres right. the business that um the delegations making that journey. so yes it is, it is interesting that the way is taking this position, but the you a is not just acting as the you a the way use the current arrow member of the security council. so the other one acting on behalf of the countries in this regard. and one of the things that you've talked to us about before is the fact that the wording of any resolution is poured over in great detail about the those in fault. is there any sort of speculation about what this resolution might have might be different from the previous ones that might allow us to move further than the previous one? well, i haven't seen, and i know that my colleagues who are the you and gabriel and the team that haven't yet seen the wording of the new resolution. but what we do know is that the 10 elected members of the security council are working on this together, leaving out the permanent members, because i'm,

some observers believe the permanent members are the ones that have caused trouble on, on this to this point. and they, they've come up, i believe, with the tags which they're not going to share with the permanent members see if they can go forward. certainly the aim was to look at the previous resolutions that they've been passed. the story that they've gone to the security council and the failed to possible had been vetoed and see whether that was compromised language, choose the best bits of those resolutions to see if they could find something that kind of go past over 50 members of the security council without the veto being used, but of course they have more power now because they have behind them in that general assembly, overwhelming general assembly vote or the security council know where the rest of the will stand on this an overwhelming lead the rest the world would like to see a deliberate and a pause in the fighting to get that a to limits. james is always great to get your analysis. thank you very much. indeed. our diplomatic editor james base. what

have you just joined us that have been a number of the speakers of the un security council ahead of us have says, a lack of clean water and safe sanitation and gaza is pushing the territory to the verge of becoming a catastrophe. the chief of the u. n. c. amount of tenant agency one. the international law must be respected in this war. and the system in place of loving 8 and to gaza is geared to fail on the head of view ends agency for palestinian refugee says the situation in gaza is becoming increasingly alarming. nearly the field to the i'm going to shoot the 3200 and see really what to do in the, in just few weeks these 2 houses in the process of was completed. so since 2090, this cannot be that much more on the city,

including those said during the phase people who have not being fed to many people have issues and injure was seeking safety in. this is protected by international dominion to know as it was by ministers just told the world that he will not agree to cease 5 on sparing an unrelenting israel. 0 strikes are continuing through the nights and gods have at least 8300 palestinians have been killed in 24 days of war. and there is very times was seen in the outskirts of gaza city on the main road, linking, northern and southern gaza, overstretched with patience and low on supplies. hospitalization, guns are struggling under pressure. 23 hospitals in northern garza, or under an evacuation order. you can see the mach here in red, then the size of hospitals have no capacity. on monday is where the air strikes hit, the truck is hospitalized. they only facility the treats cancer patients. there's

been an expensive damage done to its 3rd floor. and that's how divide speech is there any founders have benjamin netanyahu drew a distinction between his readings killed and hamas attacks. and the protestant even casualties from the bombardment of gaza. it means making a little distinction between the deliberate murder of the innocent and the unintentional kind of casualties that accompany every legitimate or even the most just for i wouldn't make clear is what was position regarding us as far just as the united states would not agree to a cease fire after the bombing of pearl harbor, or after the terrorist attack of $911.00, israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities will come us after the risk attacks of october 7th, when the united sizes and israel are committed to supporting an increase of age to gaza, relief workers are sad, even the largest age convoy to enter gaza, so far as falling short of the needs there in the cold. prime minister netanyahu

did receive a commitment that the israelis will endeavor to support a significant increase in the flow of manager and aiden to gaza, so additional trucks and we had $45.00 or sho, get in. yesterday we're hoping that we can get some more in, in today, but obviously even with the increase, it's going to take time to make up the difference. and we know there's an awful lot that needs to that needs to happen to key to accelerate and to increase that flow of a hold on a moment. we're going to cross together alexander who's been monitoring developments of the un security council in new york. for us. we're going to go to todd a couple assume in conyers in garza and talk as to what you're aware of with regard to the expanding grind operation. these really is upon they are carrying out the to yes of practically as well as expands and gets wide skilled military invasion to the territory in different areas from the

north up to the southern areas of, of the goal is the strip. now at this, at this current moment, the is where the occupation trips are to trying to push forward into as they to neighborhoods in the central areas of the gods attribute a shot yet neighborhood in australia district. this district considered to be one of the most decent places through the, is by the goes a boat as a they is already goes aboard as also the attacks continued on fights to change the clarity of the hub in the range of refugee a kind of eastern areas, a defined thing has been erupt to that, me a palace and you'll find is why responding to the is there any, uh, if you trace and, and even the is rarely a ground, a movement on the ground as they are trying to attack, mail it 3 times and even to open fire against the is rarely moving troops on the ground or the attacks clearly has been intensified during the last couple of hours . and even specifically the last hour, the, the, the a, the palestinians or to the of the orthodox control center has been a level to the ground by the is with a few patients,

which is also the tax included, different strikes that being conducted near the, near different fleet, united nation schools in the notes of the goals, the strip which contains thousands of commas thing is reflect from the houses, from the notes of a, from the difference. and so for areas, victor, 3 of the talks continued to, to, uh, to the, to be had in the surrounding areas of the hospitals as because by the occupation forces have written the majority of causes of hospitals for evacuation or this topic. we were saying earlier that to is many times have been seen in the outskirts of guys, a city on the main roads linking northern and southern gaza. and yet people in gaza are getting messages to say that we should head towards the south. one would imagine that it's difficult for them to do if these roads are blocked now, since the beginning of the school is what has oh, does and recommends us the citizens of the north and central areas of golf trip to

move to the southern areas. not now, meanwhile, she is quoting this roads and break it down in order to, in order to make a proper control over the didn't have meant the aforementioned areas and is really trying spanish to uh, to carry out a limited mental bring by controlling the area and the control of taking control over the select dean road. it what's considered to be one of the central grades in the gaza strip. now people on no, no longer able to get back to wait from the northern areas now to the southern areas and you are talking about a 100 this hundreds of thousands of palestinians are still in the northern has central areas of the guy who started early in the ship office, but there are more than 50000 pallets, things are residing and this they're surrounding areas of the complex. now, with discharging number would be really difficult for them to get back to wage as the is very ongoing strikes and the ground invasion expands and guitar. truth. tyler, thank you very much. indeed. that's how they got boys and talking to some communists in gaza. let's go to give out a zone of his life for us. that'd be united nations just in the last or so it gave,

we've heard some very impassioned speeches from agencies to the security council. just talk this through for people who are just joining us, what's being said, and what the toners a yeah, this is an emergency security council meeting that was called by the u a. e. where they're getting these briefings from top officials, from relief agencies of the united nations. that's the big picture. the security council members are trying to get a sense of really what's happening. get a briefing from the top officials in the know if you will. and it was a very somber briefing from 3 different officials to put it mildly, it was quite troubling to hear a lot of the, the different a numbers that were shared about the human suffering that so many people in gus are, are, are suffering. you know, it's, we heard that 3400 children have been killed and that averages to about 420 children killed or injured every day and causes census conflict began. but i think

there's really good for big themes and we heard number one is it everyone it spoke was calling for some sort of a cease fire to be in place immediately because of the humanitarian conditions. i think number 2, as you saw, all 3 briefers in some way, shape or form. talk about humanitarian law must be upheld 13 percent it's. it's an obligation of israel to uphold international law during this. and then what was really striking is, i think these un agencies are the ones that are trying that are usually ones that are trying to help other people. but you heard them asking for help. and them saying we cannot provide the kind of help that we need to provide the humanitarian situation is getting so bad and if it continues to deteriorate. gabriel. thank you very much. indeed. gabriel alexander talking to us from united

nations in new york. i was a spokesman for the military wing of the palestinian group. we started to hide, has just spoken about the captives held in garza and the stipend. the group says to the families of our captives, your government is risking the lives of your children to gain time. every minutes that passes is a threat to the lives of its prisoners. or separately harmless released a video of 3 captives. it's holding in gaza. and the video that i'll just see the english has decided not to show one directly addresses prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying, quote, we are banning the responsibility of your political security and military failure. on october, the 7th, there was no army, no one arrived, no one protected us. it continues, we are innocent citizens who pay taxes to israel. we are in captivity in a bad condition. you are killing us and she goes on to say, release us not release their citizens, release their prisoners release. all of us,

let us go back to our families. can we go straight to island fisher is joining us live from occupied east jerusalem. and i want to ask you more about that benjamin netanyahu statement today that the, the clip that we had mentioned before was just a small part of a much larger statement. what else was he saying? well this has happened in front of the phone media for the 1st time since october, the 7th. he's spoken english. the road as you would expect, addressing the phone media. he's very fluent. obviously, having spent a number of years in the united states and his message was directed to an international audience as well, he talked about why that would be ne, by. he said there was no c 5 after pearl harbor. there was no spot after 911 and when he was talking about how some civilians are being killed, he said, is really, is, are trying to avoid all possible impact on civilians and contrasted that with some us who said, kidnapped and killed civilians. he also made the point about the bombing of the

good stuff for headquarters in copenhagen during the 2nd world war, the british so that, that's what they were targeting. they actually got children's hospital. of course technology has moved on quite markedly since then. and there are many and gaza, who would argue is that they are being targeted because they are in gaza, pointing to the fact that they were told to move from the northern parts of the strip to the sides and the surface still under fire. but this was benjamin netanyahu coming out quite strongly that a quite forcibly, a lot stronger than he was when he spoke to local media. it israel on saturday night and certainly making very clear that while there may be international calls for a cease fire, he's called for the international community to stop by israel, and he will not be calling us the spot. he sees the surrender and thank you very much. that's out in pleasure talking to us in the occupied east jerusalem, you're watching, i'll just say to we're bringing your live coverage of the un security council

emergency meeting on the situation and goes to mr. phillips. lots of really commissioner general of united nations relief and works agencies out of state refugees in the near east set the last 3 weeks to be perfect. almost everyone in israel. they occupied palestinian territory in the broader region. as in morning, the weather brought to you by visit cutoff. the time it is very much the tile of 2 hots across australia and maybe we have some pretty wet weather, windy weather, just rattling across the fall, south east of the country. one of these black line, this trough to the north of that, that's what we have some rather high temperatures, temperatures generally up into this taste as you can see. so fire risk 5. danger sadie elevated across those northern possible them areas of new south wales just

pushing a little further north would still sydney at around $27.00 celsius on choose day. suddenly, wayne's, which is the temperature down to touch as we go on through website side of things to comment does push the far risk a little further northwest. but to some weather that just creeping towards brisbin, steam land into the outback, where you have the 5 danger continuing over the next few days as we go on. so it's just, i lost the dry, much dry weather coming in. slide the woman to the southeast in cold us and went to weather coming in to new zealand from time to time. crushed judge at around 20 degrees celsius to the route 20 celsius, 2 for tokyo. as long as you drive here up towards us and i some west to whether into the far north east of china, sliding across the north of the korean peninsula. is it go through why the state right now for so i know so the north japan the weather, brought to you by visit cuts on the

challenges here with the a feeling the heat of the world garza israel says the fire thing is costing millions of dollars every day and the devastation in the strip is unprecedented. so what's the real cost to both sides? and what's the impact in the region and globally, this is inside story. the .
