free america has never been a real democracy. the black people never experience democracy may be excludes divisions and struggles in america's electoral system. aside for and against equal representation. and the democratic process is the country that's learning how to be a democracy, but it's not there yet. one person, one vote on al jazeera, premature babies in danger of being killed, as is rarely a tax cripple. most hospitals and gone to the world health organization says the biggest sell ship. it resembles a symmetry. how can this happen to place is protected by international law and what impact is it having on the palestinians? this is inside story. the
6:31 am
hello and welcome to the program. i'm tell me the cry. israel was war on guns, is relentless with widespread death and destruction and no one's safe. the most vulnerable premature babies some younger than the 6 week old war are in immediate danger. the heroism in ingenuity of medical stuff is the only protection from israel's military might raging around them. hospitals have shot or struck alone without power. with the injured elderly and young old victims of the war. 2 ends of the spectrum of human strands. tiny babies taken from incubators without power in fighting for life against israel's military machine. that's backed by the u. s. u and u. k. palestinians being denied the right to be treated in the sanctity of hospitals that's protected on the international more. but this is ignored by, as ralph tanks, palms and guns. how has the modern world come to this?
6:32 am
and why is causes entire health systems theresa? and i'm the israel is the tax will be asking this and more about gifts and a few moments. but this, this report from car league, the flight life, perhaps our next to living with these are the youngest victims of israel, on god. with most hospitals, forced to close, surrounded and attacked. why is ready forces? dozens of premature babies in the territories. largest hospital have been transferred to the only areas where electricity is available, but the honor incubate has an oxygen supplies of run out. the situation is desperate. so we left many infants because some were born. at least it's extremely difficult to look at them all the time. and there's nothing we can
6:33 am
do. and it's not just him, but it's plus cause a city all its hospitals. optic service, with no electricity, no water, and critically low medical supplies. they're unable to treat the wounded spike more patients arriving over time had over 500 patients committees in the last 3 days. and so it's just the unrelenting, free every half an hour. there's a new n rate and then there's a new influx of it, but we're short on supplies. we'd be happy to perform excruciatingly painful procedures on wounds of the patients to stop them becoming infected with no energies yet or unsuspecting. the bombs keep falling. shelling and guns fired from his re forces can be heard in hospitals with thousands of palestinians, a seeking refuge,
6:34 am
many afraid to for the as ray military orders to evacuate, knowing it's boomed areas, it said was safe. we want to go to the south and be safe there. however, every day i'm heating more ambulance has come to the hospital. i'm seeing more people take their loved ones through the graveyard. i'm seeing more children in general. more people updated every day. it seems that the solace is getting hits. more of the city of israel has refused to stop its attack, claiming him must have come on faces under an accusation. the group denies and doctor's house. officials and witnesses also reject his phone. thousands of people have fled to violence that seems to intensify every day. leaving all of those in gaza on ripples was nowhere left to go. the car like the inside story. us human rights sports is. israel is
6:35 am
a tax on hospitals and garza should be investigated as more crimes well than half of the $35.00 and the strip and no longer functioning. and the wrist uh, overwhelmed, is rarely showing in the ground to tax have intensified around hospitals in kansas city and the north with several being hit directly. the goal is a health industry says all those in the north and now out of service. the largest 2 l codes and illustrator surrounded by is ready forces and have shot down is rarely snipers has been firing it. anyone near l. a. ship a trapping. thousands inside the let's bring in august now in london is talk to of my of dell. i'm on co founder of guys admitted in ramallah is busher kelly policy late in the occupied palestinian territory. and as ro at office fan and in colorado is dr. meds, gilbert's medical heading professor at the clinic of emergency medicine at university hospital of north know why he's also olsa of night in gaza and has
6:36 am
worked with medical teams that will welcome 2 or 3 of you. thank you so much for being with us here on inside story. talk to i might if i could to begin with you please. as a pediatric neurologist, as a child specialist, when you see those and mature, those images of the premature baby is held together with no incubators as no oxygen . can you just explain how dia, the situation is for them on a ski i. so these videos, as i was coming into the studio at this afternoon, i received them on my phone from a colleague just before it made the breaking news. this is i, i, i'm the law so it's, i mean, every night's, every day we have been receiving testimonies and messages from causing doctors through cosmetic voices, online, social media platform. and every day it sounds like things are getting was an everyday i think, how can things be actually was this image of something or to the approximation of
6:37 am
15 temperature babies full cut altogether. not even coupled together. lane together in 1 o'clock with no heat, no incubate to no oxygen. uh no fluids is absolutely heretic. and this is part of the dehumanization of palestinians. so the points that's to the point that these radius of time, these baby babies into what they look like. mice, they look like rats, essentially, i'm sorry to use that time, but that is what it looks like. they are. they have treat department like animals and to the point that they are sitting in the cops, it all together with no lights, the photos which is essential. i work in a large teaching hospital in london. i've worked in many of the largest new natal units in london, some of the biggest tasha units and every one of these babies shouldn't be being looked off to in a separate incubator with oxygen with fluids, with one to one nursing. and yet they have all been put in and this is not a,
6:38 am
this is, you know, this is a direct result is really well, crime scene has already been bundling on these on these hospitals. is there any hope that they will survive at this current rates? many of these. ready these rely on being conveyed to these babies are born permit, shortly. they need to be an environment that is like the way in which is what they incubate to provide them with keeping them woman that environment is almost impossible without the minimum foil is an ingenious way of trying to keep them alive for a short period of time. many of these babies that will survive will be left with the lifelong chronic conditions, chronic conditions of the lung, chronic conditions of the hearts. things that i'll continue reversible and in 2023 . it should not be acceptable for babies born into this route to be in this situation, but that is the reality of these ready will machine at the continue a destruction and targeting of systematic the health care workers, health care facilities,
6:39 am
things that we see now that make us think of the middle ages, this has many people style medicine, resulting from a 100 percent mind made human catastrophe. that is a 100 percent mind made by these readies. and frankly, those babies and those children and those killed and wounded that his blood on that hands and the blood on the hands of every us. the need to every rest, anita who has not stood up, have the courage or bravery to stand up and say, what kind of disgusting conditions are you putting these people through you? how many more children? how many more premature babies do they want to see in these incubators? do they, how many more children do they want to see? tabs? is 810000? is 820000? what is the magic come of that? so these politicians mr. soon. ok, mr. by then, everyone of these need is, should be ashamed of this. i've seen, will get onto the international responses and just a moment the documents, i know you've spent many, he is working in hospitals within gaza. and i'm sure that you've seen some
6:40 am
extremely tough circumstances. but could you ever imagined what we're seeing right now, play out my wireless font to see what i imagine that the state government so far me wouldn't that so viciously attacked the health care system, which is supposed to be under regulation of international law. what we see your eyes here is the most graphic example of medical apartheid because this would never have been allowed to happen with white, blue eyed, low on the baby's in the western world. this is so graphically showing us more documentation on the upside from the side is all about it is about restoring the old colonial rule over people in their own land based buyers. what there's a deep gracious in these babies can't be st. the medical stuff. and she, for, i know i've been working with them for more than 20 years. these incubators they
6:41 am
were made to save lives on the nurses, the doctor. i know that the lifeline for people in the i see you are in the incubator is oxygen. what do the occupational regions? they dive steve auction to providing system issues while they destroy it. so there will be the oxygen. what do they do? they denied the control and medical supplies. and this is happening as these leaders are sitting watching. i can take that one point to me, this is not new that the money due to these new, but this really already has attract health care for as long as i have known their actions. i will say in 1982 german invasion that this, each of the board be, they attack sometimes the same on psychiatric hospitals. and also during the day attacks, you know, during the attacks in 2006, 912,
6:42 am
and 14 that you're seeing from these attacks on health care. so the fact is that the really impunity has to be told what it costs to being kept accountable for attracting health care. so i think they actually believe that it's a legal target. they can do what they were entered here by now being concerned about the hospital. he's the one who is peaceful lose and he is the one who use many pressure this f. she'll be these randy occupational forces to be held accountable for these. but the system, i think it tags on primary healthcare hospital hester says stop at supply lies. oh, which is an ego? yes, it should just staying with with this. i know i'll expand still has many people within gas or, and it must be incredibly difficult to, to watch on, as of the scenes unfold. and despite the these pictures coming out and describes it,
6:43 am
i guess, sleeping. so this is clear evidence at the human cost to this more seemingly nothing is being done, nothing, nothing is has stopping, the shelling is continuing, isn't it? how does that to what you all knowing that you have colleagues working in dallas or at this point in time as well. it's not just collies, i've colleagues of my all my in laws and gaza right now. and a lot of friends. it is harrowing and heart wrenching and it really feels like we're in a living nightmare trying to do something. but we feel completely helpless and powerless because israel decided to close the order that has closed the orders the last 16 years on by that because it's health guys under siege and its military rule for all this entire time including it was spent. and so it's, it's, it's extremely the motivating to know that we can go and support our colleagues. because right now our colleagues,
6:44 am
though they're supposed to be operating and delivering aid and supporting this response where at a hall because there's no fuel. and because we're not allowed to enter it because medical teams can access regardless trip. and so we've got $2200000.00 people, how to get your children completely track unable to be unable to go anywhere. and we're starving them to, to that, we're bombing them to that. and we're making sure that wherever they came from is now uninhabitable. we've got 60 percent of thousands that has been completely destroyed. where are these people supposed to live? where are these people supposed to go back to? where are they supposed to go to school? where are they supposed to get health care from where they supposed to get their bread from many degrees have been also fun. so it's not just the health care system that is completely cups. it's every single sector in fact that has completely collapse. yeah. and what is to come next is really what we need to read about the
6:45 am
documents i. so you're wanting to interject it. what would you like to ask me watching premature babies dying? i just talked to them in strongly. i've seen gusta on the phone and she phone and they said, we don't have like we use the mobile phones. we do surgery the. busy like we can look, you know, we have tools, we have the garbage, we have power to decal, posting bodies in the hospital or more. it has been more for many days. they are decomposing, as they are sure to have everything moving outside of the list of this mystery is my i spoke to them. i said the point is it can be rehearsed this afternoon. it can be so this afternoon, the bumping, the text on the hospitals. we could reestablish water supply last minute. this is a, you know, uh everything this really is the only there is pressure release row.
6:46 am
so i know during this time, this will, you know, because when russia attacked, you bring it to the week which sanctions, and, and board, and all sorts of political pressure to use, you know, the effects of the occupation. they're getting into the ground and people fight thing. ok, which is another story. but the point that my point is that oh what you see kind of these thoughts today. think of this, the, the price of water, the electricity and the fuel can be restored. but it's not a boy because these are the posting and people and they are not course the same as the way people in the north. i calculated. there were 31 is really children who refused. unfortunately, no is really in charge of it. you saw further a 6000 policy and children to that means for me is really trying to do.
6:47 am
these really aren't as killed almost to harm it, a listing entered or to be precise. 124. and that's the ratio that is the accord describes here. and. and so we know, seeing many world leaders cool for us, these 5 despite those numbers, continuing to rise every single day. so time i want to go back to uh, the hospitals. uh, the, the w i chose cooled. l ship it basically saying that it is turned into a symmetry, receive decomposing corpses and is basically no way to preserve or remove them. mountains of waste of medical waste is now piling up as well. how big a problem does all of that pause? i think this is the end game for how so that has become a symmetry within a concentration camp, an open at concentration comp, which is what gaza is. and when you see a health care system collapse, and i have never seen that in my life time on, i hope to never see it again. but when you see this happen and is the hospitals
6:48 am
decomposing victory at the seams of buddies? 60000 people were sheltering until she falls, so we is healthcare professionals in the u. k. was standing at the vigil on friday evening. outside the residence of mister soon, i'm calling for cease 5. in the middle of that video, we had a message come through from adult to sergeant inside all ship, all so that was sent to the mobile phone of mr. interested in extra sources. and it said that the route for intervention, it said we are surrounded. we obviously changed their tanks outside, shooting at us. we cannot get out, please us, feel government to provide us with the humanitarian aid card or for medical stuff and injured patients. and what did the west do for that mr. to not do they tend to blind di like they have done every other points. the next stage of to these dire, this is essentially excess mortality. the 3rd composing bodies that will enter the water system that will mean infections will spread lots of one infectious. i am
6:49 am
astounded that color it cases are not already being reported in gaza. we saw this in high, etc. we saw this in natural, natural, re, uh does. aust, as this is for mother nature, this is a mind made does offset of the same level of the same criticality that, that we saw in height and see what i want to add to. tonight's gilbert's comment is, is 0 and this is also adding to a dr. bush just as bush i said is, these is radius for 17, is have a located cause that from l. and then see, they controlled everything and they still could control everything's if they could control the oxygen going into the cause of a what the irony is. they are now. they are controlling the oxygen reaching the lungs of these permit your babies. they are literally cutting off the auction, the auction supply, and if you're here and i didn't see my voice and you hear me upset,
6:50 am
an emotional it is because as a doctor, as a doctor looks off to sick children and is not advocate for the safeguarding and a wellbeing of children around the world. i cannot believe that monstrosity of allowing children to be in these situations. and in this, in this one of these children and done to that, is that this one of the parents done? what is the next step? i mean, i'm just astounded when i look at these images, it is obviously heartbreaking. and then like i said, it is just the end game for a collapsing health care system that will take decades to rebuild it. for sure. can you just explain to us how compelling is the evidence that israel is carrying out will crimes. given all of this by targeting, by deliberately targeting it seems at targeting hospitals international. i was very clear and israel's duties and obligations extremely clear. they are the main occupier, therefore they have a duty and obligation. and there's a nuance between that. it's an added responsibility on these really government to
6:51 am
protect civilian population when we say protectively and puppies, population, if ensuring that it has access to the basic services and the subsidies which they don't, we by closing the borders by shutting off the water by shutting off electricity by, by not allowing fuel into the strip. and by cutting off communication lines, like, you know, targeting hospitals targeting bakeries targeting necessary civilian infrastructure . so these are serious breaches of, in, of international law and internationally, mentoring mom was specifically and these, yes indeed may amount to work times. but again, i do not make that legal termination i point to the law and in the mind of the parties of their cleared duties and obligation. and israel has decided to collectively punish 2200000 simply. and people and collective punishment isn't worth time in an orthopedic surgeon who's working in gaza. has the patients with injuries up to the motor level, having surgery without anesthesia because of
6:52 am
a lack of medical supplies, basically having to choose who gets anastasia and who doesn't. and he said that the pain experienced by the patients during the surgical interventions without anastasia is beyond what humanity on this, this can in julia. can you just help explain to us describe to us how difficult this is literally just for the patients but also for the doctors and nurses that are carrying out the surgeries at the same time as well. the whole situation is a mirror for any one of us inside or outside. and i would like to correct this image that, that policy and the doctors are heartless. i do major surgery without tennessee show. they don't. but there isn't like a local accident except that's right. sort of some of the seniors may be paying for more painful i needed. i guess the i colleague in the one of the us close in this office yesterday and we discussed how they to apply for example, the simple can mean anesthesia for the most painful diseases. but i underlined they
6:53 am
do not do like me sources, certain sections or major surgery without proper general anesthesia. they are not doctors, but i'd like to make a comment on these comments. so the health care system that we have been discussing for 4 weeks now this, this every day. one is actually collapsing, is the morality of the wisdom. governments want to know that the, the, the morality of history in the army, that's the most important collapse. because if we think we thought we had game, we establish a u t. the rules between s s be completely destroyed by history of these 4 weeks, the trust between the goals or other goals. so i think completely is my, i mean, i think, you know, i talked to my friends are my thinking since they have the full trust in the west and in the us. i'm a small babies these 30 a pretty much years that i know for lack of oxygen have more than electricity,
6:54 am
oxygen we. there's always some need for me that we installed these oxygen concentration of machines and she, far and many other other adults, 16 years ago to make the independent, the, because of these religious each. what the literary in the army do, they turn off the line and they should damage the oxygen machines. oxygen is like, this is another example. they fade the some in the way they affect the health care system. and what the is really it's a spokesperson deal or not and said, oh, we will go in the same, these dirty a premature babies. would you like somebody with till 6? that was your piece of your children. take care of in the lights? what do you want somebody, this won't be hospitable. take care of your patients. i mean, this class. so my, let's see uh, application of international law is very, very serious because it's a big thing of us. oh my, i know that you've been discussing this situation with,
6:55 am
with medical professionals and guys, i mean, these meetings also have to think of their own safety and their family safety as well. but as we've seen so many people are determined to stay, to continue working to trying to save those that they can. why is that when their own lives are clearly in danger here? because they chose this profession and they took the hippocratic coast, which was do not home and do the best you can for your patients and adoptive inside the gaza. of the heroes incipient here is and they have the ones who have decided that for them the 2nd see if the life of the patients comes 1st and foremost, the captain doesn't need to ship them to the ship. things that is the that is the way they think about it, that is very way they operate. and that is the way many doctors with any form of humanity would offer it. i don't know if i was in that situation how it would react, frankly. but while they are doing is commendable and that you know, they have said time and time again, we will draw the buttons with our patients and leave them to die in the darkness in
6:56 am
fear and then tara, i want to add to the ticket. and i've said regarding that situation with the continual bombardment and, and the end of the lack of humanity, these ready defense force and it gets ready, government started to turn off communications to perform atrocities in the dog from very early on. and we saw hostile being bombs, resources being threatened, we saw the images live on, i'll just there, as i flew wasting, to what child still being found on live tv. that is, that, that is the level of you know, in humanity we have reached in as well as where we have to watch on tv. and no one can intervene from the western world. the reality is that we are now bearing witness to these more crimes. frankie will crimes in any textbook of you might have turned or i'm not a human rights lawyer, but you know, for me, i don't know what else, what amount to will crimes and, and we're watching this now being done with the advice it to you. they don't even, they don't even care about constantly communications anymore. they, they seem,
6:57 am
they can do it and the world continues to allow them to do it. they have reached that level that's at the level of arrogance. that is beyond anything, anything in the last 50 years. i cannot recall a conflict where 5 thousands of children have been white tubs in less than 6 weeks . it's ms. swadell too. i cannot recall anything to that extent, and they are doing it with impunity. they are doing it with arrogance and the west and when. busy is just as complicit as every one of those government officials in his room. documents were only got about a minute or so left. i know you said before that this could all be stopped immediately by the israelis to just stop the bombing. what channels do you think that there is now that it will just stop that it is going through 5? i know that there is sufficient political pressure to stop this nightmare for all of us. most of all, for the people to go. so right now i just spoke to the minister,
6:58 am
we haven't talked to you based off of a useful dish and ship hospital. he said they have the strain dimes of the permits juice or to a 2 of them are in critical dying situation. now, in addition, they have 700 patients in ship, all they have 250 staff and they still have to and i have cost in the interim to displace persons. all of these people are in nice things are now. the only thing we can, the model now is an immediate stop to bad, to turn on lights, to walk through an fuel surprised because i haven't pretty single governmental, most prime minister president in 0. i'm also, my boss told is a bite no actually says no, we have reached the red light. if we don't do that, what is going to be the much? are they going to kill every one? are we want to see a new standard of racism that just being approached me by me is deplorable. leaders
6:59 am
