4:00 pm
transformed into a minute. we're forcing every now and then we can have roster bombs. exploding out to 0 is teams on the ground. when you listen to the hall to the story the the, [000:00:00;00] the fellow on several venue. it's good to have you with us. this is the news our lives from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. 42 palestinian prisoners are expected to be released along with 14 is really captive part of a supplier alignment between israel and home of the celebrations across the occupied west bank and onto the 1st through the palace. the
4:01 pm
prisoners held by israel was free. i'm also also released 13 is relays on friday as well as 11 foreign nationals. and on days 2 of the ceasefire. shocking images might be of the scale of destruction of costs because also there have been more is really raised in the west bank and one palestinian and been killed near the . so it is 13 gmc that is 3 pm in gaza. we are waiting now the release of a. busy other $42.00 palestinian prisoners in israel and 14 captives being held by almost it's expected to happen within the coming hours. on friday, 39, palestinian women and children were released from his really jails and there were celebrations across the occupied westbank as they were united with their families. meanwhile,
4:02 pm
2 dozen civilian captives have been freed by him us and taken out of gaza, 13 of them, or as really women and children. 10 or tie nationals. one is from the philippines because of a deal more trucks carrying humanitarian aid has been rolling into gaza through the russell border. crossing with egypt. palestinians have struggled to survive with shortages of fuel water, food, and medical supplies. since october, the 7th, many palestinians who are now able to move around for the 1st time in nearly 2 months, or seeing or witnessing the extent of the destruction across the gaza strip. and those trying to make the journey back to their homes have expressed shock. but how little with left of them as you got great. yeah i. so i came to my house to take out some things. so i did not find anything. there's really all me destroyed the place in a way that we didn't know to expect the system. cuz then when i was displaced in one of the shelters in con eunice and i came to my house,
4:03 pm
but when i sold the destruction, i was shocked. the destruction is very large. twos are coming down, the lone gold suffices us and that's all i can say had we have a team of correspondence keeping us across all the developments as the ceasefire progresses. and we're going to start in occupied east jerusalem, where mohammed jump june is standing by mohammed. this is day 2 of the ceasefire day 1 may or may not be a good blueprint for what's going to happen today. so run us through what we know and what we expect about today and also what we don't know. so serial what we've been seeing play out thus far is that there seems to be a little bit of confusion as to how many palestinian prisoners will actually be released today from the is re lease. there are some reports indicating that it will be 39, which is the number of prisoners that were released yesterday. and there are other
4:04 pm
reports saying that it could be as many as 42. that's where we're at at this hour. and we're expecting that we will get clarity on that in the hours to come. now, just the fact that this is still moving forward, that there is even at least 39 prisoners that people assume will be released today . that is a good sign. and that is the mood that we are witnessing here throughout occupied east jerusalem. and what we're hearing about throughout the israel as well. the indications. what we're seeing, what we're hearing from government officials, is that they feel confident that the basis for this cease fire has been set. the things are going relatively smoothly. now. there is one potential hiccup. there was a how mazda official who was quoted earlier with the political bureau as saying that israel is not adhering to its obligations when it comes to making sure that a trucks are entering northern causes. and if that doesn't happen, that that essentially could mean that the deal falls through,
4:05 pm
but no indications at this hour that the deal is close to falling through. of course, things are volatile, things can change at the last minute. this is a very fluid situation, but all in all, what we're hearing from people here, especially here in occupied east jerusalem. where last, where yesterday you had several prisoners, palestinian prisoners returned to people feel that things are going well. they expect that they will continue to go well, at least for the coming few days, because we have heard repeatedly, not just from, from us, but also from israeli officials. then once the period of this cease, fire is over. that that means that the war will commence once more. and just a few nights ago, we heard it again from the defense minister. you'll walk a lot who had said that this nice fire is temporary, then once it is over, they will come in with the war. but that means that they will achieve their objective of destroying how much. and that's where broad public support lies right now. when pull after pull, that was really when it comes to the war, they say that the war must continue, that how much must be destroyed. and then if that doesn't happen,
4:06 pm
then that will endanger them further going forward 0. so mohammed the 1st batch, the 1st group of palestinian prisoners to be released from is really jails. they're now free. they're now reunited with their families. what did we learn from them upon their release? so last night we were in different neighborhoods of occupied east jerusalem. and we went eventually to a neighborhood called bade hannah and i spoke with a woman named amani, how she, she had been in prison for 8 years. it was our 1st time out of jail. she was reunited with her family and she was telling me she was so glad to be home to be able to hug her kids her relative. there was a mood of cautious, cautious, not festivity, but happiness. and i say cautious. because while everybody was relieved to see her, what was happening to her was indicative of what's happening to other palestinian prisoners who have been released and returned to occupied east jerusalem. where
4:07 pm
whereby they have been visited repeatedly by israeli police. they have been told that they are not to have celebrations, either outside their homes or inside their homes. and this is what we were told when we went to that home last night. they said that they had visited their house before. she was released 7 separate times. they weren't them repeatedly. and this is rhetoric that we've heard even from the far right wing national security minister. it's more been severe just a couple of days ago. he said that if any palestinian families or prisoners who have been released are supposed to be celebrating in areas where he has jurisdiction which includes occupied, he's truthful and that there will be a crack down that they will not be allowed to do so. so that's where the fear lies . they're worried that they could potentially face even more persecution. they're so glad to be free. they're so happy to be back with their family. this is what we're hearing from the the former prisoners that we spoke with. but at the same time, they're still very worried about what's going to possibly be happening to them when it comes to these really security forces and services in the days to come 0. you know, my mom in geometry room with all the very latest reporting from us inside east jerusalem . thank you very much. mohammed. we're going to be talking to you throughout the
4:08 pm

4:09 pm
they're in good condition and they're surrounded by our and working just to and i re team is so high, right? isn't to leave where people are waiting for news about the release of the 1st group of a bigger part enough today's group of captives. so i believe you're in the hostages square of what's been done to hostages square since the beginning of this, of this crisis and this captive situation. what's the scene like there are now, are people watching the news? you know, thinking that may be like they did yesterday at some point they're going to get that suddenly the news from is really media that, that more captives have been released from gaza. of the yeah, well we've been here for the last couple of days and uh, somebody overnight, a people where you could see it on their faces. they were looking anxious, nervous that was a loss of milling around, waiting until a full p. m. local time came, which was the time that was set for those captives being transported across through
4:10 pm
with via the red cross rather into egypt. and then you were saying everyone was glued on that frightens what seem local is writing needs here, which was carrying some of the pictures we were seeing that was being pulled cost in egypt, find egyptian news channel. and as soon as they saw the video of them crossing that board, the safely into israel. that was a round of chairs and smiles as well. and some people were even singing. the song had a new yeah. bought. it's temporarily because we've just had a, someone speaking on the microphone behind us in the last few minutes saying that's why everyone is very happy, overstates the, here's the news and see those concepts arrive his face please. they have remains more than $200.00 of them that are still house comp save. in fact, some of those that came over yesterday, the relatives are still engaged with a male relative. so this still can fun here in the hosting,
4:11 pm
but they'll be seeing all of them release just to let you. 8 know that, hey, the mocking the space. see it today, since that's all sorry about 7 attack and also that will be a massive raleigh held later today at 7 pm, local time to gather together those families of those health con civic pools on everyone here. all sexes of his riley society to join them here in this square and supports and one was and, and one of the family members discuss. c as a big hug for everyone to come together, they'll be having speeches from some of those family members that also have some performances. but generally speaking, or you'll see in people from all the sexes of sites is always someone just fall back. and just to give you a sense also that was a relief when the videos were released this morning of a 9 year old child that was held captive while he ran down the car is old to greet
4:12 pm
his father off to being so long in captivity. and also that was the video released from the hospital with that lady was speaking of the. 6 1 of the mothers whose 2 children, including her little girls finally got to meet with the father and they were all huddled together on the beds. and that has pills. many of those, hey, they said with her boss, they said the fight isn't over. as they cool on is reality is right, the government and those in the leadership and the international community to put pressure, to ensure that all of those the are still housing cause all returns here and they want them returns. who's safely they say, no sir. hi, right? reporting from television, thank you very much. sorry. meanwhile, inside garza, some palestinians of trying to take advantage of the ceasefire to return to their homes now scenes of devastation and the daily struggles. of course, continue there still a severe shortage of fuel water, food and medical supplies. alejandro reports every day
4:13 pm
a special for people in garza who survived the $48.00 days of israel's bombardment . the full day cease fire allows them to check on what's left of the shot to live, which is the plot of what we wish for internal peace, not just for days because people have gone through too many pains, and they're still suffering. when we came back, we found out all the houses had been destroyed without the brother pitch a tent in front of my home, then living somewhere else. i hope the seas for it can last forever. that's people seize the moment for a brief breath of fresh air trucks, cutting a roll into southern gaza, loaded with food feel and medicine. love it. uh our difficulties and challenges and notes about the number of trucks coming in. but the capacity for receiving the shipments because the humanitarian, colorado has a very limited space, which significantly restricts the number of passing truck,
4:14 pm
some personnel. therefore, we request a 2nd humanitarian, colorado, which can double the number of trucks coming in, people and goes, i have struggled to survive with the shortages of water. and all the essential, such as guys and field health sector has nearly collapsed with, as well as targeting of hospitals during the days of full when the people are being sent to egypt for treatment on the hash. and just the officers has some of the cruelties and central guys are the board age refugee camp . and he met johnsons just as they were returning as to what's left of their homes, who not for you shuck them away. i'm liberties come out to show he'd be in. what is the headline today is homecoming. as families are returning to areas, they had no access to over the past 50 days. as you can see, month for do the mess of the large scale destruction as
4:15 pm
a result of israel's relentless bombardment. and this is bridge refugee camp, which is in the east of the gaza strip, closer to the occupied territories of the aisle. what do you do to intense uninterrupted, shunning those families were forced to leave to the west. had namely new site that refugee campbell. now they all back to find those homes that have been leveled to the ground and some of the dead buried under the debris. sadly come many are trying to get their hands on the positions they left behind that so i will try and speak to one of the returning residents. how one on the outside. i mean, i just welcome home. what, what are you up to them? hannah will let her know to help in that sort of thing. i want to see what i can find from optimum gang, and i will also bake some bread. i collected some wood for the fall since there is a few empty. uh, what model of did you handle that? no. kind of have you been back before? how to continue on the optimum? the for the hood on the foot board. oh yes, i used to come every now and then despite the replace shelly and it was very dangerous,
4:16 pm
but i have to come back and check on my chicken life so i'm not afraid. if i'm destined to be killed, i will die. my life is not in the hands of design. if i have see the new who then it's been to. yeah, the quick the top of the head like and then you risk your life just to prepare some food for your children? no. nothing. oh was yep. well, now i used to come onto the heavy shuttling to feed the lights stuck and go back. we have a few, but i will bake and cook. i'm with via water jack. if it carefully bumped the car and what condition your home a to it's done. he doesn't know what i should, but all time is destroyed. there's nothing remains standing a most of the ducks and chickens. what you find hungry streak, don't this? no, it is genocide to these ratings or destroying all homes and killing all people. that is old. it's unprecedented crimes. and there's different old on go ahead and you seem to just come back. what if you find and guess what? say about the negative and just for to me to hit them then honestly,
4:17 pm
i've never imagined the scale of this destruction, not even one percent to the my home which showed no, i have stuff in damages and it's not even fit to live in anymore. it must be rebuilt all over again, and then we'd rather live in a house with no rose another thing. get humiliated in an over crowded un cool. we drink single to pretend it's fresh water. look at the south of the church rate until the truth had been agreed that meaningful thoughts on the ground. they returned again to the houses. they found nothing but ruffles. they found the street to find any shelter to protect them. meanwhile, they would return back again of course to the south of the 2 or 3 as this. busy will end within the coming days. and he will return to the same routine that they had before in times of line and got for long hours and to have all the top french top access to food to water, and even to take a shelter from the cause and to protect it and be predicted with fluctuation of
4:18 pm
what that within the coming days. so literally what palestinians have been missing and experiencing since the beginning of this round of fighting is beyond combat and comparable as the are literally you were suffering dates between the rates on the, on the top situations there, despite all that to be destroyed, all the destruction or the old. busy station that they had from the east valley village, the strikes of course, the goal is this trip during the, during this aggression on the territory, the dark, almost as acute israel as violating the ceasefire today. is this something that could threaten the overall deal? now the violations that had been met that had been made by the occupation offices throughout the 2 days of a ceasefire between them is considered to be minor in the, in comparison with the size of the tranquillity on the ground. we are talking about that to occupation forces had completely withdrawal all of the surveillance of
4:19 pm
drugs of this car at the gaza strip. main while they have made the suburbs like a nation, including open a fight against people who try to cross to the north and central areas of the gaza strip as they were hitting from the south as well. meanwhile, also they did not allow me to come to the flu of. ringback a great number we came in to your new trucks that had been supposed to enter the gaza strip as the agreement started. uh, what is the most important to mention that the united nations, the uh, usa and even the, the regional mitigators who pro kits to reach the ceasefire a following what is happening on the ground on a regular basis. and they are trying also to coordinate and to keep in contact with all of the full spots of the agreements in order to guarantee that the cause of the ceasefire will uh, will go as what has been agreed or put in some of course there was a gap between understanding might happen from, from time to another, but generally the speed of the ceasefire continues as hostages had their release
4:20 pm
between post box box. humanitarian aid must flow to the goal is a strict according to the agreement that had been made between homeless and he's been on the cuts re medation topic up with whom reporting from hon. eunice and the southern part of the gaza strip. thank you very much. all right, so you're reporting now going back to the occupied westbank. many palestinian prisoners were released from his really jails or speaking out about their experiences behind bars. houses here is mid of abraham met with them on friday evening shortly after their release. a window shack it has posted her daughter. she's been released from and is really prison. and we soon get off this bus to freedom. after a little search among the crowds, she finds her then they hug. like they haven't. in a long time. the 24 year old was detained in october of last year, held without
4:21 pm
a charge. her detention was supposed to end in late october. the war put that on hold. i think i'm the guy who was in my prison is by default a difficult place as we lose our freedom. but after october, 7th, the prisons became much more difficult. we couldn't get our basic needs as women. and as humans, the tap water taste slight koreen. we used to buy bottles, water, but even not became off limits for us here. so late today, it was about had been in prison for over 2 years. she hadn't been sentenced yet. unlike many other palestinians who live remains behind bars for a long time. the message i sit up with that we think big not we've been to the face of total isolation. we lived in exile, we left the graveyard. the most of those really used on friday are women, others or teenage boys, families from across the occupied westbank waited outside the open for me to
4:22 pm
through prison under my law. for this moment the one was yeah, they had 8 months left on her son. some of the, the new year are moving. tell us, getting into meeting their family members the tells us that you spend 80 years without being allowed to visit her. many a people here celebrating. but they say that there's that operations are shy because they remember those who have been killed in god since the war. 6 palestinian prisoners have died in his really jails. leonardi any of them. and i was released to make it in my boxes without a phone or anything with being tortured in jail. we had difficult tries from other sections, especially prisoners from casa, and so a lot of blood. oh yeah. how about the brother pl site? was named as one of the $139.00 palestine used to be released. however you had
4:23 pm
already completed his sentence and was freed on thursday. his cousin schmidt had the months left on his one year sentence, but was released as a part of the deal. and so it's a bitter sweet moment. why did mind it and make it to the list when i finished my sentence, my cousin ahmed, it's good that he's out. but there are other people who have 15 or 30 years left. some are boys. those should have had priority even so this is a moment to cherish and needed to break family see from their own going pain. need that, but he just eat off the occupied westbank. or let's talk about this with the door. her son in ramallah, you're a researcher on israel and palestine for amnesty international. so you just saw in that report by our correspond it did. abraham, some of the palestinians were released yesterday from his really jails actually had
4:24 pm
very little to almost no time left on their sentences for what do you make of this? and also others were his under administrative detention. others have not been convicted yet. the majority was arrested last to year or in the past few years, and the majority were charged to and if there were charged its own way to him throwing up his bottom its records. so obviously this is something that the deal included which we comp comment on with the maintenance or not, but it's clear that for an exchange of the is there any hostages, the, and also other in french citizens were released as part of the date of birth. the, the, all of those were included in the $300.00 initially, and that's your 100 named list, published by the end. that is really missed. your justice are not listed as the main targets of mass. so we're talking about, as you said,
4:25 pm
people who have with are very close to completing their sentences or has been, who is they were not, it was not a massive public out of the guy. so the release will not pass code a massive public out outcry, and that is very popular. so following on that logic that you've just laid out, when you look at the detail of who is real, chose to release it, it seems when they're releasing people who they were about to release anyway. basically for some of them at least, seems that they're not quite paying as high of a price in this, in this prisoner swap deal as one might initially have thought. yeah, it depends also on wednesday where he needs to exchange before we talking about all those days, early to our st. jude and then and then left us to william hostages, women, and children. none of those are captives, competence or soldiers. so i think this has to do with sad, it's the friends,
4:26 pm
it's very defense from previous agreements. but we also, for example, the most prominent one, which one's the garage and the dean which sold are these all over $1000.00 products to indians. many of them are tied to the sign posting in prisons. it does not, it stays lifting about what could happen in the next agreements or next negotiations. it is clear that this is only the start. what we are hoping in $24.00 is that for this says patch the deed, took the way for a sustained agencies fire bureau and we get 4 days which would, which is where we're going to start, but the offers very little to palestinian civilians trapped and guys and 4 days is a very short just pipes that should be considering very less, less this of the buyer. and the task guys has been subject to over the fox sports 9 . these. okay. on the question of the the,
4:27 pm
the conditions of their detention we've spoken now is a 0. it has spoken to palestinian prisoners multiple prisoners who say that their conditions have worse. and so since october the 7th, what is your information on that? so the other is the treatment, and is there any cost to the end? is there any detention or not? can you obviously, if this has been documented by human rights organizations, particularly if i brought it to me in human rights organizations for decades. but what we've seen since the 7th of october is i'm just a dentist escalation and they use of to, to, and other treatment including use of collective punishment as part of emergency measures imposed by as far as national security ministry, including cutting off military for entity, tricity for hours including beatings, especially during counts we interviewed release prisoners and 15 these we talked about the a, b to b and get used as
4:28 pm
a human to get it for just in pro. is it as signs moving without tricity been denied access to their attempt teens having their groups confiscated we've talked to the millions to presenting dixie needs. we said that continues have dieties what's that they have been dieting for over a decade. the band were confiscated, especially this has to be especially the conditions are women have horses significantly since the 7th of october, so relieved to them and they can use as many as often as 18 use and at the home present in haifa. talked about being, having get clothing items consist gated that not having do not being did i have access to minutes to read pads. being also humiliated, some of them were put in isolation, denied access to finally, this isn't that a international committee for their trust representatives are not visiting, posting in prison as in the teens, and this is terminated in the that's all the custody of 6 products. and in between
4:29 pm
these, over the past 50 since the 7th of october, i have no investigation, not comprehensive investigation, has been conducted in any or for this under custody of any of the 6 people which include 2 records from the guys check door. something else is striking when you try to connect the dots that everything has been happening with respect to the policy and prisoners since october. the 7th were talking about is real, having to pay a price to get its captives packed back. in this case, over a 4 day period, they're going to release if all goes through according to plan, they're going to release a $150.00 palestinian prisoners. this is only a fraction of the number of palestinians that is real, has arrested in the last 7 weeks alone since october the 7th. yeah, actually since the 7th of october, over 3000 palestinians have been detained. we're talking currently we have over
4:30 pm
2000 products and then they can use the under administrative detention. that i'm asked to recall is that these detention articles that need by violent, committed to be leads into he images into to few g caps. detention has been a condition that tomorrow to protest to me and lives since the start of this very occupation. it is obviously one of the key to us to which is the main thing is a system of a party to against palestinians. but the rates, the highlands of series, the violins that palestinians are subject to as they are detained, to during interrogation. and what we have also been witnessing is the fact that the input string phase, sometimes over a week and dissension without their families be not decided they were about. we have posted in between these and gods out, especially with families. no, absolutely nothing about has no, no way their loved ones are the things these are and these are happening on a systematic basis or we're not talking about 2 or 3 cases. we're talking with
4:31 pm
families, we're trying to scoured for information about their loved ones, trying to contact the growth or human rights organizations and seeming to find a scrap of information about their loved ones. and this is also part of this just licked his punishment to compete against palestinians, which we also have to just to quote, the fashion is connected to retaliation that and the way in which these campaigns of iris and raise are happening over the bank. if you want to use, choose the violence with which the company does defy to this campaign of can look to retaliation, which by the way, the thirty's against past indians. and that was back in particular to products and you know, it's, it's yes and is it will have also has to be detained over hundreds of palestinians . and since it presented have been detained since the 7th of october must be on charges. they were charged at all on charges of incitement. publishing or liking
4:32 pm
posts on faithful. so they have been living gold. so i'm, they're a state of that. are they locked into the minute to the dictatorship with your son, researcher on israel and palestine at amnesty international. thank you for joining us. this our is going back to god, many people, many palestinians, they are say that they've been horrified by the extent of the destruction that they are just now witnessing as they're able to move around. as a result of the ceasefire houses 0 has managed to gain access to the indonesian hospital in bate la. here are some of the engine aide has this report. then a warning, some of yours may find the image is distressing. main entrance to the indonesian hospital, one of those in gauze is largest healthcare facilities, now in ruins. overwhelmed with the number of wounded and facing a severe shortage of medical supplies, quarter door to big awards and surgeons operate on the floor after his very tanks
4:33 pm
and snipers laid siege to the hospital for days to state it in the early hours of friday morning. before the ceasefire came into effect and then let me expand that mission. i cannot imagine outside, we told them we are civilians. we have children and sick people. we are nurses. when they saw him, the hospital was the main entrance. they interrogated me with the other nurse and they asked me if there is anyone from of that existence here. they asked me about the entrances and exits of the hospital. we were all panicking and very secure. hopefully you got rid of the hospital has been out of service for weeks with the extent of the damage. it's not clear whether if we ever reopen them out with this, as we call the heart of is really soldiers interrogation called the law. that was all the 1st floor. the hospital was targeted with the miss, so they also caught up in the tricity in solar power and we had 25 people with broken failed. this can be moved. they designated these tensions. i showed the
4:34 pm
patients inside the building, one of the search, just one by one and scan everyone's faces while interrogating me. i told them the time in this, they took me to this corner and beat me and asked me so many questions about the house. but the, these really cabbages and hostages, if i know anything about them, every question was accompanied by slip after the, the less to be good, have gone, but i promise i'll love that. i will never leave my patients here alone. and that i will be the last one to leave this hospital and have a demo of the committee to protect. journalist says at least 48 palestinian journalists have been killed by is really fire. and essentially, if is among the few risking their lives to tell the world what is happening in the gods that will hold on. so i understand the occupation forces have damaged and destroyed the big parts of the hospital. these being major destruction, yet in the hospital or even equipment and supplies, have been ruined by occupation. forces use media to port divided administration had been consumed by the ceasefire because it would allow journalists greater access to gaza,
4:35 pm
which would they say expose the devastations and possibly doing public opinion against israel. the sense of death forces people to cover their nose and a child decomposing bodies, children among them who are piled up in one corner, no burials of taking place because there's really cypress targeted anyone who ventured out to the grave streets, schools, houses, shops, is really strikes have destroyed them all after 7 weeks and hiring people are fine to be able to go outdoors. but for the entire neighborhoods raised to the ground, hundreds of thousands of palestinians have no homes left. some of the job aid, how does their wireless ceasefire is holding? and gosh, are there been early morning raids in the occupied westbank where 429 people have been killed this year alone is really forces made incursions in several cities including novelist in jericho. where they stormed a residential building in the us, but job or camp. the troops stopped paramedics from helping the injured and near
4:36 pm
jericho. soldiers destroyed the home of a former prisoner zane. bas robbie has more. what we seen in the last 24 hours is a doctor, was killed in a raid in a town south of janine a refuge account east of novel of so 5 people detained in jericho. a refugee camp was rated near rome, although there were is really rate operations being carried out all in all, just a total of today. 17 new palestinian detainees is really hands. so even as news releases go forward, while people are happy to see that there are a negotiations that there is the ceasefire. a precious few days of cease fire in terms of the bombardment happening and gaza. they compare it to these really occupations, ongoing detention of people in policy and communities. the total number of people detained. so for, since the war began in the occupied westbank not in gaza in the occupied west bank,
4:37 pm
where there is no harm us numbers more than 3150. and the total number of killed since october 7, numbers now at 232 published a new lives the associated, the associated press news agency is reporting that there's been another incident involving and is really linked ship. and us official has told the a p that a container vessel link to it is really billionaire came under attack while i suspected rang and made drone on friday. this incident happened in the indian ocean . joyce attorney is the general secretary of the american friends service committee of quaker organization has operated in gaza since 1949. and you are joining us from bethesda, maryland. but as i said, you have teams on the ground. joyce, we continue on day 2 of these truths, as guardians are now starting to move around more. and they have this window of time. we continue to try and understand exactly what that, what's happening for them. and i'm wondering whether, based on what your teams are telling you,
4:38 pm
you can sort of share the conversations with those that are going on amongst causes . you know, thank you. thank you for having us. the listen. we have, we have done humanitarian work in gaza since 1949 all over the world for over a 100 years. that handbook the humanitarian handbook that we've used. as we know, it's, as we've used it all over the world to address cemetery and crises is almost irrelevant in god's that we have never dallas with anything like this. our staff will have now um experience because uh, you know, are welcoming it. of course, one of our staff is saying that just on a personal level that she's no longer hearing the sounds of her father screaming of the of the sound of ambulances, the sound of our neighbors. i'm reading from her text. and, and she says today is the 2nd day out of 4 of the ceasefire. i am still in denial,
4:39 pm
i'm believing. and so these are the humanitarian workers that we have to rely on to deliver uh, the humanitarian aid. and so these are the same people that have to fence for their safety. and so while they are welcoming this, this cause a and b r o, well celebrating suspicion of violence and the use of diplomacy. we know that the 4 days are not enough and they, you know, they have been able to distribute a uh, they are working around the plot as to find food items hot meals, we have been able to distribute hygiene kids as well. and this for the 1st time they are doing their work without fearing that their lives are at stake. you know, and that is that, that is the situation. and they are also worried about what they're hearing and what they're seeing. an adequate sanitary situations,
4:40 pm
tens of thousands of cases of the world health organization has reported of respiratory the diarrhea diseases, the skin diseases. so they're worried about what's to come. winter's coming, he said they're telling us older windows are broken because of the bombing. so even keeping warm, even if they have access lucky enough to have access to stay in a building, they are still very concerned about keeping warm during, during the winter months they, they went shopping for a for, for clothes and coats. and they can't even find any in the shops. and so that it's, it's a really dire situation and, but for me and for, for us the, it's help to repair their across tools of an entire population. and that is status requests, you know? and because i understand, i understand how, how important,
4:41 pm
how significant that is. but as you reminded us yourself just a moment ago, what we're looking at right now is a pause in the fighting. it's a ceasefire right now. it's scheduled to last 4 days. we have 2 and a half days of that left and less it gets extended. we just don't know if it will. so i imagine that your teams and guardians are, you know, even as they're taking a moment to sort of come up for air and breeze. they also have to be thinking about preparing for a resumption of finding yes, it's inside the steps and that is that, that has been their life for about a year and a half a month and a half. that's. that's their thinking. they have to prepare and try to get access to as many uh, food items, uh, water as a install and keep save it honestly as much as that. how can one prepare me in a situation where no one, no worries facing guy. so as we know,
4:42 pm
the destruction is so immense, where they can't find any refuge, any shelter, whether it's it, we have one staff saying and that kindergarten do the, we know that he's not safe. he also, i just also wanted to say that same person try to go north, so they can do so he can find more, a age and materials from, from show ups, etc. and he was fired that somebody was fired by the i. yes. because there's no lability as well, so you can't really prepare much because there's the mobility is really restricted in gaza as well right now. even during the pause, we're uh, this is the people can't just go around there for one business freely. so that is also an issue or what is the only organization that has access to a to to, to,
4:43 pm
to be able to go to freely go freely around the, the guy semester. yeah, mobility, mobility remains extremely limited. i'm glad you brought that up and you know if causes were in any doubt about that, they were reminded by these really military spokesperson today, the arabic speaking spokesperson that we tweeted that they can't go to the sea. they can't go to the beach, they can't go north for those or south and they can't go within a kilometer of the border. the border fence exactly is real so so there's no mobility at all. joyce, i'm gonna have to run the joyce as many general secretary of american friends service committee. thank you so much for joining us on the program itself. us. thank you. secure and we are joined now on the line by dr. mads gilbert. he's a professor at the university hospital of north norway and the arctic university of norway and the author of night in gaza. he has worked with medical teams on the ground. mad. i know you have your sources in the,
4:44 pm
especially the hospitals in gaza. can you give us the situation of the indonesian hospital that has come under attack in northern guys i just before the ceasefire came in to say uh yeah, and both in the nation us to um and out of the hospital are surrounded by is really occupation tanks where they're byron of pointed to don't to run, they've been show. so the fact to these 2 hosp jones are not to working as hospital is currently, which means that there is no 0 hospitals in the north where we estimate there are half a 1000000 people are remaining. so 75 percent of the hospitals in gaza out of now out of function. and there is only 40 percent remaining bed capacity. it's down to $1500.00 bits and that is only in the south. this, specifically, at the indonesian hospital it was stormed by is really forces we are seeing
4:45 pm
pictures of the aftermath of that. and as you speak it are, there are still patients that remain at the end and he's in the hospital. i don't think anyone that has precise information on that because the communication is very unstable and part of the occupation forces strategy is to catch the cause sign to so the pro, both information patients, the health care workers and ambulances, a self destructed on us. we know they have a risk, they then taking away both leaders in the health care system and doctors and part of medic. so it's hard to say what has happened. but um we know uh that, uh there were um, being in a tex around the hospital and that we had the, i think it was 2 or 3 days ago we had colleagues killed in um, in these hospitals. so um, uh,
4:46 pm
come on lavon. uh there was an attack according to you and on 2 days ago, um and um 2 ends, one in front and i think you pay there died um, altogether 3 children. but i think the main problem to understand now is that these . busy costs in the, in the, in the bottom being does not really substantiate any, any progress there is a must have, like a food must have, like a water must have lack of security and the obstruction of the flow of patients, health care workers and they leave north and south must be amended by an internationally controlled quoted or that can provide the needed the humanitarian assistance. and when there are no hospitals functioning in the north. and of course, there must be an on the hinder the transportation quoted or for accessing hospitals in the south. also may i ask you a question about your aide,
4:47 pm
and specifically the medical aid destined for the hospital has any of it. and if so, how much reached hospitals in the north? a 150 trucks of age. so thats combined food and uh and medical and made it into gaza yesterday. which is a tick above what you would see in previous days has any of it made it to the indonesian hospital to the al shift the hospital to the other medical facilities in the north. that's a good question um, from the information we have 200 trucks, with able to enter well 536 of them were all flo, the in that far to cover the nice in the south. and we were just informed by posting and red crescent. that's 61. trucks with relief was on their way north, through the northern part of gaza. i have no confirmation that these 61 trips has reached. so c, d or she for our or to come, i loved one or the intuition hospital. what we do know is that there has been
4:48 pm
obstructions on the way, but it's really occupation forces. so again, there needs to be internationally controlled quoted doors for health care person now for relief trucks and for patients and ambulances. this is absolutely mandatory . and i hope that that can be sufficient pressure to allow these safe quoted doors. and in addition, i think the noise trucks have reached the hospitals in the north, right? cuz you just told me they're on their way. so that's what we just heard from. the problem is done with christmas society. and they said that's $61.00 of these. so 200 trucks that have entered our on the way north, we have also got reports that there has been obstructions on the way. i cannot confirm that they have reached the north before let you go. what do you know about the situation at l shift? the hospital which had also been rated by is really forces before the end of each in the hospital. but there were patients left there to the best of our knowledge.
4:49 pm
do you have and i appreciate what you said about communications being cut with northern gossip. but what's your latest information on l shift? the latest information we got to watch from one of the good doctors who said that they would remain, i think there were 4 or 5 doctors and some stuff would remain with the remaining patients who were to stick to be kicked out to adults told to walk down the see road all the way to can you in this sort of uh and they uh, to my knowledge they still stay, but there is no communication. so again, we don't know, we know also that of course the published in the, in the health care is very anxious to leave. she falls till completely because they know that the faith will be, you know, the, racing, the whole last. so we've seen how they've been attacking the hospital buildings and the equipment then destroying it. and of course, this is the flagship hospital for old palestine. it just university hospital for
4:50 pm
fort garza and it is also the most important task though for health care in the old guys are both west bank and gaza. so if this is is bombarded then and taken down, it will be a massive loss both for the security of the population for the symbolic function of it. and of course it is the destruction of health care in golf side, large mass gilbert, you've worked in gaza. we know you're well connected to the medical teams on the ground that you're following very closely. the situation in the hospitals in the north. so we wanted to get your input at this hour. thank you very much for joining us on the program today. the bringing, you know, some of the days of the news to people have been wounded in the ukrainian capital key, even what's being described as a mass of drone attacked by russia. the mayor of italy quits go, says fragments from one of the down drones started a fire in
4:51 pm
a nursery. this is one of the largest joint attacks to target the ukranian capital since the war began. rob mcbride has more from keith. this always, these hearing keeps say this was the biggest single attack with drones since the start of this full scale war. literally dozens of these shy head drones arriving in waves from all different directions to the people of keys being woken in the early hours by a series of thunderous explosions has ad defenses around the city got to work, shooting down many of the drones, much to the debris of folding across the cities, such as here at this kindergarten. no one was hurt here, but there have been reports of some mind of casualties elsewhere in the city. this attack has been condemned by a load demands the lensky, the plane, and precedents as an act of terrorism by russia. also making the point that this comes on the 90th on the verse array of the commemoration of the so called hello
4:52 pm
them. all the author officially and you need from me at the hands of the soviet regime at the time that's regarded here as an active genocide taking the lives of several 1000000 ukrainians. that zalinski says most go is continuing to perpetrate against the people of ukraine robot pride. i'll just say with keith and calm has been restored on the streets of dublin island. following a night of violent protests, they were triggered up to 3 children. were interested in the nice to pack outside of school, huge groups, forthwith police torch vehicles and diluted shops, and the irish capital. dozens were arrested by the gas coast president and drugs well has won a 3rd time and a disputed presidential election. 10 of the 12 rival candidates boycotted, the vote accusing reads a while of corruption. the opposition has denounced the result as illegitimate and once the electoral process to be suspended or let's take you back to the war on gaza. now, the solar,
4:53 pm
there are 2 protests are continuing around the world. large crowds are back on the streets of london. demonstrations have been regularly taking place in the british capital and across the u. k. since the war began their asking the government to stop, it's support for israel in the phillipines, more than 100 protesters have gathered outside of religious center in the capital. they're calling on the president's assign a un resolution to stop israel's funding campaign a nor days. a political and less than posting in affairs expert, nor you're joining us from ramallah on day 2 of the ceasefire agreements. now we are yet to see whether a day to fulfills its promise as day one day, because so far the palestinian prisoners haven't been released and these really captives and gaza hasn't been released either. however, there is reason to believe that that's going to happen in the coming hours. my question to you, as we're almost halfway in the ceasefire agreement, is what are you learning from this? what are you taking away from this?
4:54 pm
and where do you think it leaves this war at this moment? i think one of the most important things about this a ford a ceasefire, is the fact that the world now knows that it can work. and that's a political efforts and negotiations can actually stop the killing and also release the cost of so there is a window of opportunity for the mediators to expand that cease fire and to work on more releases. and in the meantime as well, create a political horizon that would end this war without further devastating the guy the strip which already will need months if not years to recover from this monstrous for so. busy if you look at these really statements, they say that they still have their stated goals to accomplish. one is to release all the captives. the other is to remove
4:55 pm
a moss from the gaza strip. and they've said you off the lot. the defense minister specifically said to is really true before the ceasefire came into effect when this is done, prepare for at least another 2 months of war right now. and that's very interesting because, you know, you're negotiating to have captives released with the party that you were saying, your intent on destroying. and yet the only time that any of these captives were released is through talking or when, how much of a release them on its own. and so there's a lot that is being set and as well for domestic is really consumption. we have to keep in mind that the, all right and government is in crisis, but the officials, the military and civilian face, of the questioning and face retribution really from the public and probably also investigations, once the war is done. so there's almost a need for these officials to tell the public that they're still in time for more, they will do this,
4:56 pm
they will get it done and they can only get it done through war. but i think that the, the, the discussions that are happening right now in closed rooms in western capital goals, in particular, are taking, perhaps a different, more nuanced direction. and governments are beginning to ask, the more logical questions of, you know, how do you intend to do this? how much more killing are, you know, are you going to do the, the fact that you looked opinion and worldwide can't tolerate, to see more mass slaughter in gaza happening. and when v as early as talk about going into the south, where the majority of the population is and the majority of the population is now homeless. there they will be pushing through the flesh and blood of gaza. and i don't think that that's something that, you know, capitol right around the world are really to tolerate. so we'll see, we'll see what happens in the coming days as nor day. thank you very much for
4:57 pm
joining us on the program this hour. always good to talk to you, we're going to have to wrap up the show for now. we'll take a very short break. it's almost 1400 gmc on day 2 of the ceasefire agreements between home, us and israel. we're still waiting to see whether there will be indeed a captive release from gaza. and a release of is really palestinians from, of palestinians from is really to stay without the this is the largest only bowl processing punch in the occupied westbank. 50 full kind of sending funds bring that home is to, to be pressed into a product. this is a good you generate around $200000000.00. feature based tags contains around 200000 liters of olive oil with a monkey. the value of around $300000.00 gives you a sense of just how we pull the on of the oil industry is to the palestinian economy. about to send you an agricultural ministry estimates around 30 percent of
4:58 pm
the harvest, including college scrolling calls will be lost because of an illegal is really settled. a white fence comes through a protest in olive grove as well as all but still to be sure in comments to policy reform is to harvest that comes to the settlements. this year. pharmacy is rails. warren garza is damaging the only the industry like never before. thought provoking nonsense, but the patient doesn't have time to wait for the extremely unfortunate script. there are no quick wins and eventually search hard hitting into abuse. do you feel like america is less than the age of these days, or is it just a different full? i think that democracy in the process facing realities do you feel that the fraction is already starting the g 7 in the us on one side showing that in the bricks on the other? i think there is a huge piece of that to happen to the story on talk to how does era all you need prospective greenhouse and you know, is
4:59 pm
a huge part of my identity voices. you don't often hear how are you doing today? i almost forgot how my life used to be before the aggression in the gaza strip. started connect with our community and talking to conversations you will find elsewhere. questions for me is very, very critical. issue in the countries and attack in this specific area during me on these boards and the rest of the team, the stream on out to 0. the $42.00 more palestinian prisoners are expected to be released along with 14 is really captives as part of the ceasefire. agreements between his real and hum us the
