6:02 pm
eunice have now killed at least 13 people vast. the area where israel told palestinians to evacuate, promising the south would be safe. a good we were sitting inside the house, the houses were filled with people. this house was full of people and we were all sitting in sight. and israel has carried out multiple raids across the occupied westbank into crim that even though i confrontations between is rarely forces and palestinian sciences image and came up against our coverage. these are some of goes as most vulnerable premature babies. i meant to be kept in incubators with oxygen in temperature, regulating equipment, helping every press they take. but now they have simply wrapped in towels such and say, the situation in the hospitalized dia and essentially it was, i totally in a hurry, but situation. the one we are facing now targeting that is hosted with an in garza,
6:03 pm
which seems to be the one to treat the injured patients. now we can hardly 3 the patients within our hospital, and then we every now and then seeing that it's still sitting on say. so we are in limited of what is on the ship of hospitals has been under constant bombardment. just 0 spoke to the folder of to him . since for being treated in the hospital, he was separation from the of the as strikes. honestly, this is something you cannot describe when you these 2 such a point that the way you con, provide safety to your newborn children on this to me today, when i spoke with the red cross, literally, they told me that they have suspended data operations in the guys, then they have no news about to meet on the. the sizes of patients trapped in cause is hospitalized without an tricity unlimited medical supplies. and without a chance of more than medical treatment, the disease there is
6:04 pm
a direct injury to the head, internal bleeding. and we cannot do surgeries, no surgeries, no oxygen. i know that we work many of these were using menu resuscitate as he needs urgent surgery, a life saving one. he is less than one year old. there is no anastasia, and even the oxygen tube is minute. this babys volume. but no one knows when to be able to have the surgery that he really needs. imaging came back out to 0. we're doing now by robot montane. he's the director general of the international committee of the red cross. he joins us now live from janita. geneva. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us an out of there. now in the last 24 hours we've heard about 2 newborn babies at all. she fell hospital and gaza with died off to a shell and is ready shell shot down a generator which had been powering into bases in the near ne, toward we know many of the babies are also at risk. now, how long can
6:05 pm
a newborn baby survive without being connected to an incubator? a while these are unbearable a report and images. we get things from a chief, a hospital, but also from other hospital runs quits hospital and many other hospitals where the vicinity of hospital become war zone, which is really unacceptable. and we repeat our call to partners for the conflict that hospitals ox thank tories. they need to be protected, they must be protected. no patient, no baby, no woman, no mind should die in a bad hospital. no doctor, no nurse should, should be killed in the line of duty. those are the unacceptable things happening before our eyes today, as well as highlighting to our view is the pictures we have currently showing on the screen of those 20 or so babies that were connected to incubators,
6:06 pm
but now can no longer be connected. i just want to ask my question again, how long do they have to survive if they're not connected to the, at the, to the nicu the most valuable of the volume or, but i may have been saying very confident. it can vary consistency for many of days . now that one cannot unplug an incubator and expect that it'd be with the surviving. we know that hospital needs, so if you electricity that usually injured people also are extremely vulnerable and that medical care shouldn't be protected. and clearly what you're seeing happening today in guys a hospital is that is the same thing, not acceptable to stuff except the parties to the conflict need to to, to do much more, to protect civilians, to protect and doctors, to protect the off uh, off of the you know, the, the live saving up of, of uh, of,
6:07 pm
of doctors and nurses to mr. montane today we had from the palestine red crescent society. they say could hospital which is again, one of the main hospitals in gaza that is run out of fuel. it is no longer operational, but that the medical stop a still trying to treat patients without electricity. can you tell us more about what is happening and how codes and how difficult a situation these doctors and nurses and health care professionals must be facing you receive those reports from i'll call you from the buddies, sandra, texas society, that the hospital is at no longer in a, in a position to, to operate and spend the ox, a patient the requiring good critic of services. you and the doctors and nurses are certainly doing everything they can with the very limited means that very often without any fees. yeah. without the electricity, we know of the doctors that treating with the life of their mobile phones and not
6:08 pm
quantity by the way in which puts hostages in other hospitals as well as working conditions are unbearable. and the nurses and doctors have been working around the block. now for a month, with, with limited support and with the deteriorating working conditions, day by day, hour by hour. and this situation is simply enough to kind of look and what are you hearing from your stuff on the ground about military activity that is currently under way around these hospitals and own these hospitals? that's what i mean. the reports are very start. uh, we are really facing an unbearable human tragedy that is unfolding in front of our eyes. this is what our colleagues on the ground are facing. people are approaching us and are calling us the day a nice saying they are afraid to open their door for fear of getting killed and feeding to has them to reach safety. so what i feed from our kids on the ground is
6:09 pm
anger. it's frustration for not being able to respond to these calls because the working conditions are, are not there to be able to carry out safety, those life saving activities in the worst of circumstances. israel, i the that apologies for interrupting, but i just want to say that israel continues to stand by the fact that how much is embedded in tunnels under these hospitals, claims that hospitals stuff deny all hospitals fed game when it comes to the know of um, conflict a red hospices are a to be absolutely protected by all the time. and i think the oldest and the obligation is always on the parties to the conflict, not to use hospitals to launch attacks or to he was hospitalized as a bathroom is on a. this is very clear, and even if a hospital is used by one party as the launching pod for an attack,
6:10 pm
it does not justify automatically uh that hospital in the target that at that time with the women and children of mine are being treated and head starts and then is delivering life saving a, so those are centuries that should be protected and be re it to raise our call to parties to the conflict, to the, to stay away from us. because the stay away from ambulances, the evacuating critically injured to stay away from the person that is saving the life in the most difficult of, of the time. that circumstance, benjamin netanyahu has said, in recent interviews that the red cross should be doing its jersey. and i, i quote that and checking on the welfare of the is randy captives in gauze, is that something the is rarely is, have approached you with and how would that be facilitated, or whether you have been once a stream, the key or from the beginning that the uh,
6:11 pm
those hostages civilian parts is it should be uh, should be fried uh, urgency and unconditionally. uh, we have repeated our uh to be visiting them to check on that hadn't said to ensure that they just met. it tends to want to allow them to exchange messages with their families and be also proposed to facilitate any release i'll talk to just to fox of scenes. was successful in a facilitating the release of for hosted. did you all ready to do more of this? and this is a barcode, so if our commitment, then at the same time, our teams are committed to head in the guise of scripts. uh, mid horrendous conditions and unbearable toughing. the civilian population is different and there is no high r, t in suffering. there is no hierarchy in a human being, it can be called really on the humanity of parties to the conflict,
6:12 pm
to carved out the largest pay for the impartial and you'd finish it many tell you an option that is needed today more than ever. and if you did indeed visit to check on the condition of these captives, is there any captives in gaza? would you speak to these riley's about doing the same thing for those palestinians that are in in jails in the okay, pod westbank? i mean, absolutely for us to, uh, it, they need it, they need, uh, and they require our visit and we have been very consistent from the very beginning and for many years by the way, where we have been visiting the detainees on, on outside of this conflict and our p remain the same. we need unconditional access to all they need, including the hostages, the to day. and guys are, we haven't been able to get it so far. but this is
6:13 pm
a long standing request and ask and, and we hope to be able to visit them to a 1600000 people displaced. many people forced to live crowded in tiny spaces that are available. what are the risk of disease in the near future? a what actually we see now the visit both cars of for and this is unacceptable. it's heartbreaking. it's terrifying to see and what our clinic started is our team today. they and, and they out. it is simply unbearable, but there is also a silence picking bomb which is the public head. it's which is the rising risk of epidemic that is starting to play off in many places with that or out of the 5 wait for the treatment plans. and guys are not operating and the waste for to going into
6:14 pm
the field trip to the end of thousands of this place. people are living in horrendous condition. and this is the rest of the forks at the dynamics. we hope that there will be enough wisdom to de escalate this conflicts and to allow you many tegan activities to take place in better conditions. that is the case today where i think i will call you from the i c r t, our colleagues from the pilot, sunrise, custom society, and many other organizations present in guys are the able only to do a fraction, what is a what is needed? and this is why it is absolutely critical to reiterate. the need to have to stay in here many tell you in a getting into the guy the 5th to, to also get enough regular predictable to many tell you in poses to allow people to, to get access to services. and you many pages to be able to carry out their what? mr. martini. just briefly one more question. fi you are the director general of the
6:15 pm
international committee of the red cross. you have lived through many a humanitarian crisis. have you ever experienced or seen a situation like this in gaza? and i've been indeed many times in guys, the weather during the previous rounds of escalations or in the immediate aftermath of. and i think from what i hear from my colleague today on the ground. but t bear witness to is the not comfortable by any stretch of the imagination, the level of despair, the level of the anger, the level of frustration of human suffering is reaching a alarming level. and i think this should be a moment for the input to nation is committed to, to get its act together and to ensure that a space for humanity is carved out in the middle of this may have probably not the
6:16 pm
director general of the international committee of the red cross, thank you for your time. that's bringing all correspondence have been covering all story for us. this now in a moment will speak to an fisher isn't all parties and your reception 1st. let's go . so, you know, said was of hon. eunice, in the southern pulse of gaza. you know, so we've been talking about the situation at the, the hospitals in gaza, specifically i'll she for a hospital, particularly when it comes to these newborn babies. we're at risk. what movie do you know about what is going on that the world, moline since yesterday, saturday, when the director of the ship a hospital announced that a ship is completely out of power and out of service until today. and just one day, 3 premature babies in the incubators have died because of the lack of oxygen and power. and the rest of the babies remaining from the number that was a total of $39.00 babies have their lives. risk now should be lost at any moment,
6:17 pm
while the i c u unit building. it has been significantly damaged by a very recent is really bombardment to bad buildings and other buildings in a ship complex as a ship. a complex continues to be under continue, our toaster is really siege all the tanks and he's really a buyer and snipers are deployed there around the vicinity of a ship. a complex from all 4 directions. can literally lucky anyone to enter or get out of that hospital. the doctor is the, the hospitals tell us that now it's just a matter of time before all the patients and injuries in the hospital lose their lives. if no fuel will instantly and health enters and rescues these patients
6:18 pm
in the hospital. but this is not just the case for a ship at melody. and this has been the case really for all the other hospitals in the north, in 4th, and in got the city like the indian nation, not the quotes and every t c. hospital. they have pretty much the same conditions are under the same conditions that the ship is witnessing. and una as the idea is, riley is continue to encourage people in the northern gaza to go to the south. we've had another attack on a residential building in hon. eunice, what more can you tell us about that? and that's true, lillian, at this day, only the 3 residential homes in con eunice and the southern part has been attacked and dozens of people have been killed. the dozens, others were injured in taken to here and officer hospital. the bombardments in the
6:19 pm
south in parts whether even time, unit or up off have been relentless since the beginning of this war. and both thousands of people have led wrong, didn't north, in an attempt to save the lives in the, to the south. they're still under these continuous, bombardments and many you back, you, we've, that come from the north are being killed in these bombardments. the following report explains more. c these really bloodletting, because it doesn't stop the homes destroyed, move findings with to pluck plays really bombs folders, but he will do for many a price for focus overstretched costs because the dispute flight saved lives. so anytime the area and hit by a number of miss, not many were killed and injured, all of them were children, all civilians. the entire area was the level as if it went up. great. it is
6:20 pm
a genocide. all those killed children, innocent children, and then time neighborhood to reduce to death because of health minister says civil palestinians were killed and injured into strike. call you this is in southern gaza and hasn't people forcibly displaced from the north? israel has told posting is to move status while it intensifies operations in the north, and then it becomes the sauce again. and again, this was a clock i was coming with my horse. i stopped the horse to your track, came and fired. something doesn't look like a belt in the sky. the bombs rang down on us. there was bombardment everywhere, but there were no rockets. there were like barrow balls, so i kept looking at them. i have 2 young daughters and this border. everything collapsed and i can't see anything, the survivors salvage what they can in the hopes and they rebuild the homes one day a what was the 1st time i've seen such an extra what is happening? i asked go to take vengeance on the united states. they killed us,
6:21 pm
inflicted the neck up on us by us, go to take vengeance on the killers of our children. the many posting is not so you're going to rely on god. you have no faith and the rest of the rules said big or to do let's go to alan fisher now and occupied eastern eastern island. what are the is riley saying about a evacuations school and the last hour. they say that they have facilitated a safe passage for patients who in the tennessee, nasa, and ship a hospitals saying that they opened up what they call a humanitarian quoted doors, to load people, to exit on foot and by ambulance. they say this is part of the discussions with a number of hospitals in the area. i knew remember that just 24 hours ago. the i really, i mean you said that they were ready and able to move the babies from some hospitals
6:22 pm
because of the situation that they were in the direct to the hospital say that there would be no contact with these really. we can confirm what do you say liza telling is, but they say that there has been a number of people who move sides as passed by the idea of essentially leaving the lives that the high, the legs that they had behind the moving. sorry. because they've been told that they don't go, there is a possibility their homes could be destroyed. so these really are me saying in the last hour, a number of people are taking the opportunity to leave these hospitals because they are one of the hospitals could be attacked. not enough and civilians wounded in israel on to me. so i was fired from 11 on any updates on that as well. let me tell you the, just in the last minute or so as these are the army has on 8 social media feed, said that there have been 15 launches in the past of from lebanon. photo the as
6:23 pm
launches, where intercepted, not saying whether they were real kits or anti tank missiles, but for the launches, where intercepted the recipe, say fail or an open grind, but 7 soldiers have been injured because of mortar fire. and these really army are responding to the place where those motors were fired from. but the earlier attacks came when 6 people were injured, one of them critically 5. seriously. it's understood the electricity workers who were repeating a line that had been damaged in a previous attack as bullet has claimed this attack on you. remember that late on saturday night? you go on to is the defense minister keeping tutoring on the basis anatomy positions in the north of the country. and he said that uh husband law had been essentially attacking israel to try and develop them from the operations. and guys, like he said, they had moved from distractions to what they considered no aggressions. and that
6:24 pm
would be addressed at some point. they also said that they would be making the mistake of their lives if they continued to do that. but this will what are the americans? because only on such a big boy dawson, the us defense secretary called you, i'm glad i'm all talk to you about the needs to get agent together and to protect civilians there. he also expressed consent that this conflict could erupt into a much bigger conflict because of the situation on the northern border with lebanon . thank you for that island, for sure, that for us, you know, keep bodies tourism. at my colleague fully about cbo supposed see andrea 10 n t, here's the spokesman for unit fail that so you know, it's nations into and for us and 11 on he told about the potential for miscalculation that could trigger why the conflict is increasing. the last 5 weeks, so there has been a continuous exchanges of fire between the 2 sides, between leather and these are all along the line, very intense exchanges of fire and, and the part as we have going now the 5th week,
6:25 pm
the 2nd month of this conflict of course, the potential for miscalculation is increasing and the, and then the miscalculation, of course, could potentially trigger a wider conflict and the size of being hits uh, even last night. so one of our base key base was, uh, was injured inside one of our bases. and we are still trying to find out the deal region of the fire and the scar into now under investigation. but uh, it, the, that the situation has been tense and considered a 10 situation as you say, an escalation along that border with, as you mentioned, one of your peacekeepers being injured are you able to operate in these conditions? are you able to maintain stability along this border when your own troops have come under attack? what the mission has been doing south most for the last 5 weeks to, to be able to view a ration of we're still on the ground. our peacekeepers are close to the line. we
6:26 pm
have 10500. the steepest from 49 different guns as we continue to operate even tamani toward the blue line and also the work of the nation and force commander. and then you can generalize that as being the fundamental in, at keeping a dialogue with the part is the unit feel is the only one who can actually keep the conversation with the bodies of storage unit. and with the idea to try to prevent a very dangerous misunderstanding, that's the rule that's, that we, we have a plane on the, on the hourly basis. if we both sides to try to decrease the to as well as prime minister benjamin netanyahu has again rejected growing calls for a ceasefire and says, is there any forces will remain inside the strip of so the fighting has stopped last sale or the blue a young shell, so as far as the day after goes that day will only arrive after destroying him. awesome. gaza will be demilitarized that will no longer be a threat from casa on his rail, and to ensure they won't be such
6:27 pm
a threat as long as necessary. these really military will maintain control of cause a to prevent tara from inside to up as well. well, benjamin netanyahu also suggested that the palestinian authority in its current form should not take charge of gaza, but palestinian president, my mood abbas has said it could play a future role. the policy, tyler stone and liberation organizations full month legal advisor, deanna bluetooth says that's not realistic. right now with the us is trying to do is they're trying to put in a pseudo palestinian government one that they like into the gaza strip. and i can, i can tell you that there's going to be no house the leader that wants to be seen as entering the gaza strip on the back of it is really well. those are on the back of it is really tag. that's just simply not going to happen. but more importantly, this is the same house, any of the story that on october, the 6th that the united states had been, had been maligning that had been actively turned into persona non grata. so it's
6:28 pm
like they pull out this pop it when they want it and then put it away when they don't want it. this is where i mean what this is, what i mean, what i say is up for the house and he has to decide we need to have our own internal elections. we need to decide what shape and formatives are a freedom that is going to look like. but 1st and foremost, the bombing needs to end and as a power type system must come to an end to we can speak now to sub breeze. say down is the deputy secretary general of thoughts out, which is the wording policy in the occupied westbank. he joins us live from ramallah. thank you for joining out. is there 1st? can i get you to respond to the current situation on the ground in gaza over 11000 palestine, you instead of a 1000000 people displaced, babies dying? did you ever think it would come to something like this? when it's a bad situation, quite miserable in humanity has gotten far too low and that's something that's such seems coming out. those guys are so obvious that nothing you know is waging war
6:29 pm
against the whole front is fine. it's not a war against a specific policy. so if it is at the, is attacking or for the city is, this is a lot against our presence about, uh, what about our own identity and about own our own existence. so i think that ought to be a connective, but i sent in push for the purpose of such a positive that's being committed and also the responsibility over the international community to end this i got, it is going on this way. i think no human being will ever accept to such scenes about the upcoming auto plaza. this is sad, this is miss little bit and this is a stain until the humanity worldwide. mr. side, i'm you say a palestinian push is a big palestinian authority. you what is the palestinian authority doing to try and bring about some sort of in to the goes across this as well as you know, if the zip is out we have a discussing the day after the nothing yahoo is trying to junk it into words. so
6:30 pm
that its, the lights are attracted to was the day off the other than the positive about the being committed the, the people want in gaza is association of facilities. but now is that the word has been attracted to the discussion over the day after it's important to emphasize a number of things. yes, we would love to be going back on the back of and his id tag. but it is, it has to be a national consensus on how it with the way, how this uh, the guys, uh, a management going to come in to be motor over that it has to be an international commitment to ending this conflict. we cut up the weight for another few years for this thing to be at a new with an attack. so for the is there any on me or continue on so, so this one is that i'm, as i said, you know, a collective effort, right? so what do you mean exactly? i mean, when the war ends, what role do you see the palestinian authority taking specifically in gaza to
6:31 pm
the is nothing you guys uh, this is a continuation of work about the exists within the past. more over a continuation of, of the work that was ongoing, even when dependents in the product, there was nothing component garza so foster 2007 different personnel sort of deal was paying the salaries of its employees, paying for the infrastructure and paying for both the electricity and also paying the, its portion of the work with the international community for the development projects such as so is, and with that and what have you. so our presence there will not be new. what is most important now is to achieve so station of affinity is to put an end to the idea of and that's in the whole to displace punishment ends and also opens up a crossing. so that is an influx, or for aid that is desperately need them. but neither by garza and also the, instead of uninsured, over the international communities to and the continuation of the state of school. we cannot live with the another award. and we do not want to see a continuation of aggression that breaks up every now and then. we've just in,
6:32 pm
in the last 24 hours again heard from benjamin netanyahu saying that israel will continue to have security control over the gaza strip your response to that. and i would say nothing, you know, is attempting to put it on just stay in the but i think of that dana by continuing with this war every, whether even is what i is saying that every day, nothing, you know, a whole continues with this water has put it on, you can stay in power. that's number one. number 2 is not nothing. yeah. how is it in trouble? and he sees that is, what does it come to you is fixated on the importance of getting a but i, the image. so they'll take them, send it to his own community, and does not want to be a goal or to go back to uh, you know, our questioning, find out what he wants to be in order to investigate the committee. he wants to be appealing. so me victorious, nothing you know as his eyes on the guy. so if guys, though, he wants to eliminate the person in presence and he wants to give an image dot if
6:33 pm
there's an issue of security, i think nothing you know, does not want to see using abundance in, in, and by the way, not only in drugs, that's also in the westbank, so that's why i say, you know, for the international community partners enough talking, we need you to look at the tool cannot continue with the slogan and we want to see fix the results. we want to see, okay. okay, but then we will, yes. the smith and we want to see. okay. you keep talking about the international community. i mean, tell me small, specifically what conversations the palestinian authority is, had with the international community and, and with our lead is, are you putting any pressure on them to do something to end the situation in gaza as well as being the system pressure on every policy to push for an end to a hospital, it is an intervention community has been saying, and the americans themselves have been saying that they don't want to see are you a patient of guys that they don't want to approve any displacement. but yet, america has to make up its mind on the way forward and stop playing games. we need
6:34 pm
the intelligence community that has passed that he some vote at the general assembly to be a supervising point us in the on the right. this is the nice thing, a folder fled to membership of person in the or the saw in, in the you on the concept. and also to stop the, the influx of weapons into is that i and by feeding the machine we, what we don't need is more to weapons. we need the best types of the ocean, more calculated wisdom and the idea to resolve the conflict. since, you know, trying to fix something with the same towards that, of course the damage is not going to do anything. and what does that should have been well acquainted in this area? what do we need to see is new ideas and flesh and over at of approach to the conflict so that, that is, and the a, no more bloodshed is witness. everybody would work the products in the fields this to replace anybody the center of the theory. eliza, the, this is the collective punishment on punish videos about or do you know the,
6:35 pm
get the scene and how's the weather? yeah. and indeed the night is still money, same. so tonight is can i just get a new one? what intent to us do you see my mood abbas with the future as continue to have a future as a leader of the palestinian authority as well. uh, so they talked about the percent and elections and he had said quite clearly about what are the full elections, the legislative and presidential elections the but provided that the edge also name is included and thought would be the way for with as to when the national consensus, as i said, we are not in a position to the space anybody north of the place, anybody. if anything does a, if there was a collective effort on the part of the international community to see fund is find being thrown into by percent. and then that's what would be through. and i should in the consensus to intrude or political part of these numbers of people as it comes back to them more over a nothing you know, a whole is also fixated on the idea of breaking away drugs from the west bank. so
6:36 pm
he doesn't want to see the president of thought of you because, you know, is the say i thought of the what demand state told. and he does not want to see that nothing the whole has that the thought and appetite that he is implementing. and his eyes is okay, his eyes are on the guise of guns. so let me ask you about the situation in the occupied westbank we've seen in the last few weeks since this will began. an even bigger escalation in violence in the west by and can you tell us more about what is happening in your backyard and whether you're in a position to do anything about it? let me just bring go back and memory to the map of that. nothing, you know, i've had it before the general assembly back in september and which there was no us bank. i know guys. and that's why we say that the beginning with the it'd be in because as it happens and nothing. yeah. who would have done that towards the west bank? so he's he think up the front of the west bank, somebody,
6:37 pm
they didn't cut his hands. why is that thing for the hands for the uh, something that is what i talking nonstop understandings and arming them. so nothing now is indeed the one thing to eliminate the front us in an identity together with his the idiots and doing effects water eroding is that i, and as part of his cabinet, what we will lead to is that so we would continue, i would have struggled against occupation, we would continue to exist on this land, which is, you know, something that is a, is a and is continuing to want to find excuses to eliminate the presence and we would work with other policies to certain. so in order for me to send in house, so that's what a been incompetent to face in the future. somebody say them deputies actually general affects us speaking to us back from ramallah. thank you. of the white house is national security adviser has told american media the us does not want to see financing in hospitals in gaza. jake sullivan also says,
6:38 pm
washington is involved in negotiations to secure the release of captives held by how much there are ongoing negotiations involving the israelis, the cutter is, and we, the united states are actively engaged in this as well. because we want to make sure that we bring home those americans who have been taken hostage as well as all of the other hostages. so that continues there are efforts to try to secure a deal that would involve the release of hostages. and the president is not going to rest until we achieve that deal so that every single one of those hostages can come home safely to speak to chaper townslee is the only person in washington dc. and what more did jake sullivan have to say to solve and repeated the main points on several of a sunday morning news shows here and in the u. s. one on a potential cap to release as a been a story that's been circulated. and now apparently confirmed by the travelling of
6:39 pm
a house for an affairs committee who was in is rather also did an interview with us media. that's a deal was perhaps in the works for women and younger captives to be exchanged for palestinian women and children and teenagers, held by held by the israelis and his randy jails. that's been the main focus of negotiations straight sullivan wouldn't confirm the details of that. however, did say as, as we heard that the us actively involved in the negotiations, which was involved israel, homeless. i'm caught to the all the point was on i'll she far above the hospitals and indeed be as ready just general talk. i think of hospitals drake sullivan, not confirming be as randy accounts of home off uses. hospitals of commodity controls simply repeating over and over again. the best open source information that how most as a track record of doing that. however, then saying the us does not want to see firefights in hospitals with,
6:40 pm
with innocence cool. in the crossfire there were active consultations with the id f about that issue. that's the 2nd topic. but he repeated the on the 400 us citizens in gauze that along with our families, he said that the roof for crossing was open today. and he expected more americans to be leaving gauze in the coming days. and then finally, on this issue off, close the day off to what you were just discussing. he just repeated the american position, which would appear to be potentially at all the what it was all century is is it also told me that when you all, he was saying, he said the american position was no real cure patient, no reduction in the territory of gauze, move forcible displacement, and eventually some form of unified policy and control over the west bank and gaza . okay, thank you for that. she had respond to that for us in washington, joining us here in the studio. so i'm on shake. the found the, the shape group, which is a piece building organization. thank you so much for your time. so i want to pick
6:41 pm
up on what she was saying, the and pressure that is currently on the united states right now. they're in a tricky position on the day because as the international in these grows over the cost of palestinian lives, is that as the number of people that die as, as well as many to operation gets more and more graphic if you like, how long do you think they can continue to maintain that position of standing by israel the way it has up to now i don't think he can afford to do it for a day longer, and i think president biden through his relationship. so it is rather it's actually badly misjudged benjamin netanyahu. benjamin at yahoo! and his governments are a runaway train. and in fact, what we're seeing right now is not efforts to try and de escalate even through humanitarian pauses. but rather more escalation. i spent the last 25 years working
6:42 pm
on these complex. i was in god's are in 2000. when the 2nd intifada started, i was in lebanon in 2006, working for the un again. and i've been in syria and iraq, but we are in danger of saying is the amalgamation of all these condo complex into one? and it is benjamin that, you know, and his government, who i now driving this conflict into a very dangerous situation. so the americans in 2006, even if many lebanese, horrified by what was happening, were able to succeed for god rails, on the israeli government. and is really government which was in shopped off to the incidents that took place across the board. and slowly were able to taper off that conflict. i don't see that dynamic can play. i told right now, all i see is more escalation than the kind of absolutely shocking scenes that we have seen in chief a hospital or a hospital. i know, well, you know, israel had some would say the high moral authority on october. the 7th off to the
6:43 pm
bumper isn't that was visited in his riley communities again, some of whom i know. but now that is really, government has lost all my ro authority. you mentioned that you have experienced living in lebanon and we continue to see escalation on the 11 on israel border. what is has well as red line, what is it gonna take for them to for this to really turn into regional conflict? i think 11 the civilians been killed and we've had incidences of that as well as continuing showing across both sides that could go horribly wrong. and, you know, we've, we've had the old rules of the game where any one of these instances could have spots to war. like that in 2006, we now have new rules of the game. but if somebody can elastic band, you can't keep stretching is and very soon there is a real danger through the spiral of conflict. you're going to lead to
6:44 pm
a full scale. well, i don't think i the side necessarily wants it suddenly the americans don't want it . they position these military forces around. i believe, to the, to the problem is that again, the failure to stop and to have a ceasefire, humanitarian truce. and the language of the un general assembly resolution defended to have that in gaza. i. she will leave the united states to have to choose to enter into them at least conflict itself. we've been talking about the day off to whenever that might be. i mean during his press conference i, there's no day off for these uh hours as how there is no day after. well, there's a lot of ivy knows can you please talk about the day off the think time so busy producing papers? i think this is, this is way too early, we have to find long to the escalation. and when you say we, who's we, who is actively actually, anyone who's interested in peace,
6:45 pm
when it comes to this conflict, then to build peace between these riley's unpublished and instead of hostages, must be released. that has to be an essential parts of a disc latrice strategy. but then we have to stop transferring palestinians of the land and stopped what's going on in the west bank to make that border in the nose and israel, and suddenly loving and quiet. and then we can start discussing the suspect. and what is the role of the palestinian authority? you know this, it's about to send in a 3rd say, i think it's going to find it extremely difficult as you've heard before. so every so dime is a friend. but with all due respect, the housing authority doesn't really have, i believe, the capability at this point it needs to be accompanied by something much bigger. so if not, then, then who? well, let, let me say, as somebody who's left into this the, the many, many years we have to internationalize this conflict. the united states has to lead
6:46 pm
those efforts. but we need a broad coalition. we can no longer rely on one political system. and one sets of international leaders when the un, when it's agencies, when it's rapid tours, when the i c, r c are saying this and we are ignoring this. we now need a broader international coalition. and in my view, that has to be in the us in china, coming together, building an international coalition that necessarily involves the countries in the region itself, something we didn't do in the middle east quartets in 2000 that includes, cuts are saudi arabia, u, i. e and of course egypt and jordan. so i'm gonna check when you get to talk to the founder of the shake group, which is a piece building organization. it will be relaxed and this is, randy. bombardment has not sped schools. one of the latest targets was a un scroll sheltering displaced, palestinians investor here in northern garza, no casualties have been reported. united nation says 717000 palestinians on
6:47 pm
living in schools and clinics across the gaza strip. is i know that most of us is we've been displaced to the school is a safe place. according to these radios, we come alms, but unfortunately, even the unlock shelters, we can't find safety. after retreating from the northern kansas street. okay, we can speak now to layla baker, she's the regional director for our of states at the united nations population fund . that's the u. n. agency for sexual and reproductive health. she joins us live from kyra, thank you so much for your time. so i want to start with these new born babies at i'll, she, for hospital 2 or 3 we believe has died now off to off to generate, to shut down because of a show that was powering the in queue bases that these babies were attached to. how many move babies or risk and gaza now and honestly, it's very difficult to tell in the 30 years of my experience with the us. and i've
6:48 pm
been in some pretty tough situations across the world, columbia, in iraq and syria. this is the most devastating and worst humanitarian prices that we've ever seen. were appalled. we don't know the numbers and the latest attack on ship a hospital left many patients and about 15000 people that we estimate who are taking shelter, the majority of whom are women and children. all of their states lie in the hands of being able to get the assistance that they need and deserve into because up on impeded and unhindered. and do you have a rough idea of how many women are currently pregnant in gaza? who will need that? you know, certain health specific health services to get them through to the end to give best . yeah, we estimate the upwards of $5000.00 women per month will give birth at any given
6:49 pm
time. in gusta, we're seeing on average about a 150 to a 160, we've been deliver in deplorable circumstances in some cases without any anesthesia for our c section. um, i have to say that i find it unbearable to think of the flight is that poor woman of her family or even the physician has to make that choice to save her life and that of the child by putting her under the night we. we are very steer oh, we estimate that there are still approximately 500-425-0000 pregnant women right now inside garza and i was reading a report that you have written for you was saying there's also been a rise in premature bets as a result. of the bombing that that's correct, stress and trauma, or are part of any stress for sure if any part of any pregnancy,
6:50 pm
but put yourself in the place of a woman who's pregnant, who's had to flee her home, who is very fearful for her life. and on top of that, she may be in a shelter with friends where it's crowded. there, there's 2 facilities for her own personal hygiene to wash, to shower, or even to drink. and just a little sidebar, pregnant women, need 3 times the drinking water that, that an average person needs. in some places with the dissemination flat being completely dysfunctional. and the lack of water right now for the population of 2200000 people who have been under siege for over a month. pregnant women are facing dire circumstances for them, their cells, their health, and that of their families. so we're very cheerful for the fact that we're seeing more premature labor. some of this that is complicated and requires surgical intervention. with a $137.00 reported and documented attacks on health facilities. we're 2
6:51 pm
thirds of the primary health care system is completely dysfunctional at the moment and where the, the work uh, health care workers have been targeted themselves and cannot keep up with the number of casualties. you can only imagine the fate of that poor woman and her family. right now, we have also have to say goodbye and very 99 of our colleagues from underwood 16 of the healthcare professionals. so t's health personnel. civilians are not targets. the bombing must spouse no i can just say the emotion in your voice. a layla it is. it is just heartbreaking as someone who has a, you know, given pass twice and have the luxury of giving bath and in a hospital with plenty of nurses. and most a and anesthesia and so on. i cannot even imagine what some of these women all
6:52 pm
going through and many of them would make it. i mean doctors have to make a choice. often don't they at between the mother and the child. and then you have a situation where you have many, many opens so i can just tell you a very sad story. 11, we know i was trying to get to ship the hospital. she was wounded on the way, and she was heavily pregnant, but went into premature labor. when she got there, the doctors, despite the fact that they were overloaded with a number of casualties that were coming in, they saw her and prioritized her, trying to save her life. and that her baby was they were doing the c section. she lost her life. but the doctors were able to stay the child to the poor person, her husband, the rest of her children. that's for doctor who tried to say for without any water,
6:53 pm
any hygiene for even for himself. i can only imagine the trauma that it's, it's not only that immediate trauma losing the life of the mother, but it's also the trauma that's going to be enduring for the rest of the world to the rest of that family for the rest of their lives. as a woman, as someone of palestinian origin as a health professional, as a un representative, i find it appalling that in 2023 that we need to remind people that it is unacceptable to promise of doing it isn't unity funded in comprehensible. they look like a really good to get you will forward the regional director for our of states and united nations population funding. thank you. well, while israel carries out his relentless bombardment of gauze, a force is also conducting multiple raids in the occupied westbank. the city of to bass and the village of protocol in the novelist region are among the latest targets into bass. some residents placed burning ties on the roads to try to stop
6:54 pm
is ready vehicles from entering. and it's smith has moved from novelist in the occupied westbank as well as those rights. and it's 2 of us that have been raised in jeanine ramallah to count them and elsewhere across the west bank. they are a fact of life will palestinians who live here since well before october, the 7th, but since then they've been a lot more of them pops an average of around 40 a day now. and those raids that happened saturday night early in the early hours of sunday one palestinian was killed. that means now a $108.00 to $6.00. palestinians have been killed since october, the 7th and around 2 and a half 1000. i've been arrested and most of those in administrative detention, which means i can beheld, beheld without charge or trial indefinitely. and it's worth reminding people as well. since october, the 7th, the westbank has been essentially sealed off by israel, and that means the some 185000 palestinians who worked in israel have not been able
6:55 pm
to go to work now for nearly 5 weeks. about 20000 of that number worked in the sacraments as well. it stops the west bank of vital income as well. cities like novelists and janine relied on palestinian these railings who would come in for the weekend. stay in the hotels eating. the restaurants spend the money here, they've not been able to travel here either. that is also had a significant effect on the economy. a choking of really essential funds of the west point needs to operate them by now for more than 5 weeks is really affecting the westbank economy. as well as total siege of gauze that has disrupted all aspects of life with no fuels to cause buses and trucks. palestinians have been forced to find other ways to move around the home about has the story. the it looks like a scene from the past. but this is kind of going to seem southern because like 20.

little one day to the next is 5. 1 says how much of this okay, that's right. for me. my, the inside for this is our that won't be back in just a moment, but more of today's nice as the world gaza escalate. i'll just say it was correspondence on the glass injuries. most of them are 2320 trucks are just so little compared to this amount of damage. there are no fuel supplies, which makes it hard for hospital to sustain itself. more than a 1000 people have been detained across the of you. 5 west bank. it's very close has came into no rush. i'm really searching based on what killed people they are completely given up on any international let's, let's just keep a look. doesn't want to live, stay with us. but then they just depend on tuesday or israel is still refusing to allow international journals into jobs to cover the carnage they're all that they
