that has been done before to be done, even as long as a human being is doing it. you just have to keep pushing because no one else can see. the vision is keywords, you do the medical work is race of transport. patients out of harm's way is this rarely forces, right. guns is law just all the me bulk of this, i'll just hear a lot from the also coming up as dozens of premature babies inside of ship a fight to survive the white house as it did not give the okay for israel to raise the hospital and finds those guns long enough to give the people of guns of the

breed from the terrible, terrible things that have been put on these last few weeks. the u. n. a chief says hospitals are not special grams any supported by these rarely assaults and security council for past votes on a resolution aimed at protecting children from violence in girls. the welcome to the program with starting coverage of cause of this uh, the united nations in new york. molto has dropped to the resolution hoping its focus on children will finally unite the un security council. these are life pictures the the council has so far filed full time to take united stance on the war on gauze and the resolution cools for urgent and extend it to monetary and pauses on core doors throughout the gaza strip for a sufficient number of days to enable aid access resolution needs,

at least 9 votes in favor and no veto despite the permanent members of the united states, russia, china, friends, or prison as well. this is what the maltese i'm by so they'll have to say earlier was different. that's the path to schedule the vote for the time change that are in more but for the children who are victims of this is flux, we have kept primary and online we. we would like to try and reach to save some lives and provide some hope. it's only for the children, most of this. i'm so sorry. susan children who are on the route on a spring christensen. they me whose and you and headquarters in new york and kristin, there's an awful lot riding on this because i've been for previous attempts to posit a resolution, all of them filed. what's the difference this time?

that's right. there's been a huge emphasis on trying to get together a resolution that will actually pass the security council, putting the weight of international law behind efforts to bring more aid into gaza . so this latest attempt was spearheaded by malta and attempts to focus on children. they did so thinking that this would be the one area that they could get all council members to agree on the need to protect children in particular. and to that end, they put forward a resolution that costs for on hindered, extended urgent and extended humanitarian pauses. and quarters throughout the gaza strip for a sufficient number of days to allow rapid and un hender delivery of essential goods. the issue here for the security council has been out what a ceasefire would look like. some council members, the united states in particular have been opposed to using the word ceasefire.

they've agreed in the past to humanitarian pauses, but they also v towed in earlier resolution that they felt was too restrictive in call for humanitarian pauses. russia, on the other hand, has been calling for an unequivocal cease fire humanitarian ceasefire. so this is an attempt to find language that neither a country would veto and enough council members would support in terms of focusing on the, in credibly dire situation on the ground, particularly for children. now, do you on says more than 4500 of the 11000 or so victims of this conflict in gaza, our children, and that is or her effect number by anyone's calculations. so again, that's the focus here today to make this about the children and find some language, some wording that all council members will agree on the course that came out as heavy and crisis and goals or is deepening every day. i mean,

tell us more about the latest you and efforts to try and finally get much be to a into goes as well. and it's interesting to note as the un debates, the wording and the timing of these pauses and doesn't specify these hours indefinitely. but the amount of the cease fire, the un has said that it needs an immediate cease fire. and martin griffith's, the head of the un relief agency, has said that there needs to be a continuous flow of aid to help civilians. the international rescue committee, an independent humanitarian organization has said pretty specifically that 5 days would be needed to get the situation back up and running to get an aide in to get a distribution centers back up. so it's interesting to note that they have put

a time on it while this resolution does not. in the meantime, the u. n. has been negotiating directly with israel to increase the amount of a getting in some breakthroughs announced by martin griffith earlier today in the form of fuel being allowed in to help with the a delivery. and that is real, would not put a cap on how many trucks it allows into gaza to help with a delivery uh un welcoming this, but saying it's still not enough. the fuel that is being allowed in will allow them to move 8 around gaza, but it's not enough to deal with the issue of the salivating water. getting the water plants back up and running a sewage treatment and never mind power to people to live their daily lives. and also the amount of trucks that have been getting in while now they're saying there's no cap, they're staying in order to get those trucks moving. they actually need another

border crossing. they'd like to see another border crossing opened up and they still have such a long way to go to, to get those trucks through it. before the war started, 500 trucks were going in a day to serve the needs of the palestinian people in gaza. now the just yesterday only 90 trucks got in some days it's been much less than that. so again, the baby steps moving forward. but the un saying that much more is needed to address the most basic of humanitarian needs in a situation. and again, the focus being on children today un secretary general has called gaza graveyard for children. and that, i think is part of what prompted the focus of this resolution that they are getting ready to be discussed, debate and vote on, as we said here talking right, chris,

and many thanks for that. if you just joined us, we are waiting for this or important session at the un security council in new york . um the draft resolution cools for urgent and extended humanitarian pauses and car doors throughout the gaza strip. however, of course, full previous attempts to reach something meaningful have so far failed us making james base on the diplomatic editor. and james, i understand you have some new information for us ahead of the especially you and yeah, well kristin was talking i was also talking to other members of all the move gathering information outside the security council. it sounds like russia is got a new proposal up its sleeve, and russia may well try to amend to the draft resolution. i'm put the wood c spot in each. we're hearing that that may well be what russia is considering doing, potentially then you're going to have a vote on the amendment, whether it should be amended and then to vote on the resolution as ever in the you and it often gets very complicated at the last minute interestingly, we were,

we've heard that when the russian ambassador arrived at the security council chamber, the us ambassador was there as well. and they were talking to each other and went away in a huddle. so maybe that trying to solve something together, the us and the russians. a certainly was seen talking at the start of this meeting, and this is the reason we think that the beating, which should have started some time ago, is for now 8 minutes delayed. i'm sure there's discussion about how to proceed a discussion involving the russians in the us. we know definitely the discussions probably involving most of which proposed this resolution. and of course, the president of the security council of this month is china. that being both as well. james, what we'll leave it there for the time being, cuz we know the session isn't the delayed, stay with us. we will of course, be back with you and indeed back without team in new york as well of that. so of course of the developments in the gaza strip surrounded the largest hospital that is being rated by x ray. the forces soldiers were deployed and

a number of buildings and now ship a hospital compound and they remain active council has called for an international investigation denouncing it as a war crime. michael apple has the latest then far from the causes largest hospital is under siege. is rarely tang some troops into the al chief and compound. early on wednesday with hundreds of patients, philip's car, it was 12000 small pallets athenians or sheltering with in the complex. and when our troops opened this, israel has insisted l g 5 is being used as a how much come on same to its release video climbing its soldiers uncovered items belonging to hamas. and i couldn't be independent and verified how much is always denied using the hospital as a base. it is as a read and also made that there is no, i'm a member of i'm us in the civil as we said, there is no immediate that activity. an issue that there is anything happens when

they entered the hubs to be done or what's happened. it's down to us, but the insides out to be done on of the people in the hosted with us the video is really sold, as we say, to be interrogating doctors and medical stuff. no one was allowed to leave one item . what's the problem with them to complete located on the, on she from medical complex. no one can go anywhere. no one can move between building. so if the complex model get out of the house and cause these doctors trying his best to risk who's young girl? she's a victim of the issue of the bombardment. plenty of the e. l chief is emergency direct. this is the situation is desperate. i'm on so could in my but i mean they are in every building, all of the hospitalization and the able to play exhibited with is wally occupation of us as the end of the people to the wise and, and hold it fine because of the government situation the situation is bad,

the women children, medical themes are suffering and it's also black. how does the lesson international humanitarian law protects hospitals, but now they're at the front line of the school counselors pushing the health care system to the brink of collapse. mike, level the oh to 0. thank you, a waste israel. and as i like the us of claims, they have evidence and intelligence to suggest how mouse has used our ship a hospital for its military operations. so let's take a look at the timeline of events in schiffer in the past 24 hours around $20.00 to $12.00, g m t. the spokesman for the goals of health ministry told down just the are the disagree, the ministry vehicles, whitley gates of the i'll ship a medical complex and then the hospital was being surrounded by as ready forces for a 6 day around $23.00, g m t processing and health officials say the 3, the mid of treat, told the arrayed would be carried out in the coming minutes. and the o 05,

g m t. that's where the force is treated. they were quote, carrying out a precise and targeted operation against a mass and a specified area in the hospital that's based on intelligence and information, an operational necessity. and they said, well, the hours that followed is ready for fits, attained at least $200.00 people in the courtyard of that complex. they went to the basements of all the buildings around sight, the hospital and destroyed equipment. i'll shift as director told, i'll just say are the doctors couldn't even go to the pharmacy because anyone who moved risk getting shots and after hours of terra enjoyed by patients and doctors, this ready for us is haven't sand whether they found any how much fights is what they call them main, underground commodities center, or indeed it's really captives in a hospital complex. so somebody have it abu saw me as the director of how ship a hospital earlier. he describes how everything i'm folding in the medical facility . and the for give them to treatment on the i mean, but these really occupation forces blew up many buildings. now she for medical

complex before storming it, they demolished the north west and the fence of the hospital then ended with that tongues. the occupation forces are still inside the complex, mainly inside the specialized surgery building. the x ray department, the kidney department, the pharmacy, and the stores area. until now they didn't get to some places within the complex like the jerusalem building. these riley's the ones to help, and they pretends that they want to bring us 300 leases of fuel. so best for them to bring the fuel now, is they already inside the complex, so they want to generate as to what they don't have any humanitarian concerns. because if they did, they would have brought fuel with them at least to help people with that dialysis. they just want propaganda and nothing else. now we had gunfire and very large explosions. i think a lot of buildings outside the hospice of destroyed the explosions of violet and shot to the windows here in the hospital. shrapnel has come in and some of the

displaced to feed injured. one of the shells fell on the full floor of the surgery building, where some of the displays people were injured. we now see tanks and the occupation soldiers roaming around the hospital. we call and reach the central pharmacy to obtain all the medication required for patients. because anyone who does so will be shots if they approach the pharmacy agents, any of the stuff about gucci is actually general of the palestinian national initiative. earlier. i asked him how israel's claim of weapons they found and i'll ship a hospital will affect how people will view the ongoing conflict. and fairness of the 3 say that after the scandal and i will go to the, to the diesel, has to be done with is it and saying, do you need to provide any evidence that tests the terms are used for the military purposes? what's happening now in a ship hospital is what i would call the mother of old scandals. because a really their claim, the, this is the headquarters of from us and the did on weapons did. i'm the time us

fighters out of holding people hostages. and what did they find? nothing? is there any channels to obtain? and that's on, is it a ton? and said the, this is one of the largest failures of those that are in the intelligence. and of course, it's a free and you know, if the american intelligence was just repeating the same law as that is right, it is out of $10.18. i was in the hospital. i started inventing good without nothing. and all they have shown is a kalashnikov and a laptop that there could have put to do it easily. and the claim that it was found is this is a, this shows why is it or it has been rejected constantly on the cause of the administration of the hospitals for an independent, international non commission to come to the hospital and investigate the situation . but that is a, that doesn't know what that is because they know that they are lying. and they're consolidating this slide by continuing this claim that they need. they is,

they is more days of work. you'll find in the hospital to find out the evidence of something that, of course doesn't exist, but then the process this and their job at a study in the process different than just the life of patients that endangered in the life of the hospital staff and doctors and nurses and everybody. okay, let's go to tag, i believe his name, who is in con eunice in the southern parts of the gaza strip. a and tyler kemp. has there been any reaction to these claims by the way the military claimants were found? military equipment signs of a mass activity at our ship, a hospital of the of these really occupation forces who into traits it and preach us if a hospital officer, serious confrontations with balance thing. and finally, to the finally a wrong, the hospital as they had claimed before upset as a key targets for the military ground to encourage it into 2 or 3 as the one to

reach this hospital in order to destroy the ministry infrastructure of palestinian scientists which exist beneath the hospital as because really meant to be spokesperson has announced that they are different a military headquarters for the palestinian fighters. they need the hospital as they showed up. did you uh, illustrating the diverse that you like best that you have rooms accessed under the grounds of the ship hospital. now they have to enter the hospital after the destruction of the gate to the hospital. they are inside the is ready to return to our station and we also have their own the medical complex as they entered great to integrate the doctors and medical workers who refused to leave the patients behind . and what they had true is a group of a grenades and rifles. they have might cease from the policy and fighters from other super areas. but they did not get any clean as clear evidence about the possibility or, or even the revealing of it's kind of what that is beyond the hospital as the how

to promote test for the world since the beginning of this round of fighting. so clearly the occupation did not find out provide any, anything touchable for the international community about the existence of command rooms under underneath the underneath the she for hospital and the palestinian a minister of health and start their goal is to refuse these kinds of accusations, accusations and even diffuse any kind of is what you predicted to a talk hospitals inside the goals district until our house. well that being more it's very strikes across the gaza strip. tell us about what's being happening in the south, where you all because there appeared to be growing concerns that the ministry will now turn their attention without the yes the is really attention and even the costs and tracing of the is what it strikes with in the south of the gaza strip during the last couple of hours as around a 3 residential houses have been destroyed and targeted by the is what it forces in kind of, in a city, in the south of the territory. most of the attacks continue in the middle goober

need, that is so close also to the sauce of the gaza strip as they have destroyed a number of residential houses in different by a district with multiple strikes at the v o. so the relentless f i exchange continue that we'd palestinian flights of, of the occupation forces in the eastern areas of community. and also in rough. our district which considered to be the main places that the occupation forces had recommended people to flee to the south. its southern areas of gauze, this trip in order to be protected from the is really a compartment. meanwhile, that tex again continued into south of the gaza strip as people are really taking shelter at hospitals. and even also in the united nation, schultz is running low and forward water and even a limited number of medical supplies. tara cabinet is a lot for us and connie, this and the southern palm, the gaza strip. thank you for the update with you and is accused the israel of using fuel as a weapon of war since the beginning of the conflict of to more than

a month. israel allowed about 24000 leases of diesel to enter gauze. that's about how off the capacity of a single oil think, and it's only been for you and trucks to distribute aid, not for use in hospitals. the u. n. refugee agency says it needs a 160000 liters of fuel every day for its basic humanitarian with the head of audra has worn that by the end of wednesday, around 70 percent of the population in gauze. it will not be able to get clean water as without fuel the cell, a nation plants, generators and pumping stations will have stopped working with a fuel crisis. this hit hospital was hauled the most because as largest hospital, our ship is up to $10000.00 leagues has a few per day with full suspend service is due to a lack of fuel and telling the communication companies are expected to run out of fuel on 1st day of leading to serious network breakdowns view and had a few minutes having a fast mountain. griffith says the amount of saving opperation in the strip will

come to a standstill if they come to live a few. immediately we need to at least a couple of 100000 liters to get us moving again. and we have had agreements in those negotiations for such a replenishment, but they haven't as cheap final approval at the highest levels of these really authorities. so we need that decision made to taking you back to the un security council where the draft resolution be is being presenter. the goal is for an urgent and extended humanitarian pools and quarters throughout the gaza strip. let's listen if we can to what some of the you in a bus that is on the same way. and of course i understand the chinese on the bus, but i just spoke we still speak to him earlier today. i'm good.

okay, well look, while we're waiting for and go try to give you some of the delegates to say to be working this out as well as really i must are arriving. we don't slightly lamps in the session. see let's, let's stay with one of your best. i'm sure i have the river state of palestine to the united nations to participate in this meeting. there being no objection, it is so decided on the security council that will now begin its consideration of item 2 of the agenda. who told you the members of the council house before then? are the document s slash 2023 slash 876. all right, so text of a draft resolution submitted by malta. what else would that be?

all the representative of the russian federation has asked for the floor. i give him the 4 of studying for to that is just for you. but it's so that it's funding for it to that is why didn't but it see that mr. president swing on here that you clearly so you have to be there before the members of the security council move to the 5 on the multi is draft and we would like to propose and oral amendments to the operative parts of the resolution. we propose that we add a new paragraph, 3 bits with the following content protocols for the media, it's doable and sustained, and we need that in 3 leading to association for, for students. i would request the confidence offices to distribute the circuit with the tech. so do what aluminum into monday, members of the guns i

would request to circulate to the my whole members of the it's okay, just to explain exactly what's happening on your screen with the signature, basement security counselors to to vote on a draft resolution cooling for an urgent and extended events every impose isn't card was right and the gaza strip for a sufficient number of days. as of course, we enable access and all important aid,

the russian ambassador as typing it amendments to that resolution. this listening, protection of civilians, upholding legal and humanitarian obligations was able to distinguish. colleagues, you can choose a proposal, doesn't contain anything unexpected fear which is from the very beginning of the crisis. we have been saying that in the conditions of the growing number of victims, among the civilian population before i was the main name is to achieve a certain ceasefire, ended into violence with miller. this is repeated. they've been stated by the group of our states, including the new summit, the law, and what was adopted following the recent league of appetites, l i. s. summit to state mentioned up to if this provision is not included in the text, 1 may get the impression that the un security council always happy to make do exclusively with israel's provision audits or discretion of humanitarian causes is opinion devoted, which is from our discussions with the gloaming majority of colleagues, we not very well, but that's not the case. unfortunately,

the united states this entire time has consistently blocked any, even the weakest reference to this. i am even illusions to the fact that he council should return to the discussion of this matter. i would like to ask our american colleagues during work on the multi use draft. you struck out in tennessee the couldn't anyway indicate the need for us. the section of facilities. does this mean that you are in favor of the will in the middle east continuing and definitely we do not believe that on this mounts of the human security council should act at the behest of the united states. that's supposed to amendments. according for a humanitarian truce, it is consistently along the lines of the most is the, the stated aim of the office of the text to preserve its purely tremendous terry in nature. this is the lowest common denominator, lower than which the council assembled simply cannot allow itself to form, particularly against the backdrop of the months, trust your military and situation and cause and the incoming reports of the israeli

armed forces storming, i'll shoot for hospitals today strikes. but on just on to under our schools, it's our duty is to save the lives of civilians who have a legal spread hanging over them. i hope that you will share that position. i would also like to recall that the majority of council members name and the division of russia, china, brazil, ecuador, france, gone, gone, uh, malta, mozambique, switzerland, and the united arab emirates have already voted previously in the general assembly in support of the wedding. we're proposing today and we caught up on members of the council to support your team as well. thank you. good colleagues. so little, please. heads up as the representative of the russian federation just introduced before the council. members, you is an amendment to as 2023

2023 slash 876 the amendment to it please raise their hand funds those against you. so please raise their hand to gender extensions you so please raise their hand.
