5:02 pm
more trucks carrying humanitarian aid have been rolling into gaza through the roof of border crossing with egypt. palestinians of struggle to survive with shortages of fuel, water, food, and medical supplies. many palestinians were able to move around now for the 1st time and nearly 2 months, or just seeing the extent of destruction across the gaza strip of those trying to make the journey back to their homes have expressed shock at how little was left of them. as you got great, yeah, that's what 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 did not expect the system cause that. and when i was displaced in one of the shelters, and con eunice and i came to my house, but when i saw 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 them good mamma, john,
5:03 pm
whom is it occupied? east jerusalem mohammed returned to you as it is for pm where you are 14 gmc yesterday. that was a key time because that was the time when we were expecting to see will a captives being released from gaza and that would start the domino effect of palestinian prisoners being freed from is really jails. today. we have no such timestamp for what for when all of this is supposed to happen again for round to. so tell us what, you know, what we can expect and also what we don't know. it's a 0. what we have been expecting throughout the day is that the transfer of those capt as being held by how much engaged would begin at this hour. 2 and 4 pm local time. that's what was reported in the as rarely media. that's what we have been led to believe by israeli officials. we have not yet gotten any confirmation that that process started, but we expect that we would start getting details emerging from the israeli
5:04 pm
government. probably any minute now whether there's been a delay or whether it's gone as, as had been planned prior to. now, i will tell you that what we have heard thus far is that there is to be a transfer of at least 13 is really captives that have been held in god's up the day would be taken as was the case yesterday by the i c r. c, the red cross transferred from gaza to the 5 border crossing, then transferred into the hands of these rarely army. these regular army would then begin the process of verifying the identities of those captives. and then they would transfer them back into israel and take them to various hospitals, most of them around the tel aviv area and in tel aviv. so that's what we're expecting to here. we have not gotten any indications from israeli officials that there have been difficulties or why there is this potential delay. why we have not heard anything up until now, but we will be chasing with those government officials. we'll get to those details
5:05 pm
as we know them. now one of the thing i want to mention 0 is that what we have read and these really media throughout the day is that most of these really hostages that will be released today are from the keyboards. the area in southern israel, and that is the community that was one of the hardest hit on october 7th. so that's the extent of what we know. we are aware that the family members of those captives that are scheduled to be released today that they were informed as of last night, once is really officials got the list from homicide. so obviously they are very much expecting to be seeing their family members later. this evening and one more thing to mention once we get. busy ready as to whether or not those capt isn't guys that have been transferred. we've been, we'll start getting details about the palestinian prisoners. what we've been told as far is it could be 39 power sidney prisoners as was the case yesterday. or it could be as many as $42.00 were told that at least 6 of those palestinian prisoners that will be released by israel will be transferred back to occupied east jerusalem,
5:06 pm
which is where we are. so we'll be getting more about that in the hours. come as well and we'll be getting you those details into our viewers as well. 0 my mama junction and reporting minutes after 4 pm local time in the occupied east. jerusalem. thank you very much. mohammed houses here is mid abraham spoke with palestinian prisoners on friday evening. shortly after their release and this is for report window shack it has posted her daughter. she's been released from and is really prison. and we'd soon get off this bus to freedom. the 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 to charge her detention was supposed to end in late october. the war
5:07 pm
put that on hold all the way 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. a hair solid made today. it was about had been in prison for over 2 years. she hadn't been sentenced yet. a lot, many other palestinians who did remains behind bars for a long time. the message i sit up with that we think big not we've ended a phase of total isolation. we lived in exile, we left the graveyard. most of those really used on friday are women. others are teenage boys, families from across the occupied westbank waited outside the open community present in ramallah. for this moment. the one was yeah,
5:08 pm
they had 8 months left on her sent us the year are moving. tell us the me and me thing, their family members of the 8 years without being allowed to visit her. many a people here celebrating, but they say that they're celebrations or sorry, because they remember those who are being killed because since the war, 6 palestinian prisoners have died, it is really deals well and audio, any of them i'm always released to make it in my books is without a phone or anything with being tortured in jail. we have difficult tries from other sections, especially prisoners from casa. and so a lot of blood to we and how much rather per site was named is one of the $139.00. tell us the news to be released, however, yet 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
5:09 pm
a part of the deal. and so it's a bitter sweet moment. why did mind 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 are 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 of the occupied. westbank is really to have been celebrating the return of some of their loved ones. people turned out to cheer as a military helicopter, carrying captives arrived at the hospital in israel on friday. and those released had been held captive since october. the 7th. now too is really hospitals that have been treating these really important captives have now said that they all appear to be in good health after those nearly 2 months of captivity. so if i roch's and tell
5:10 pm
of eve where people are waiting for news about the release of a new group of captives potentially today. so sorry, the, the, the placing televi where you are as come to be known as hostages squared. talk to us about what i assume is the anticipation must be building up today. and yes, there a is on transportation goals, so trepidation because even though they did see those, the warehouse cuts of yesterday release is always a concern. they feel, but how much could suddenly change their mind to those any delays or some fixtures is fine or in the works. because also one of the narrative that has then coming from head from the gulf then is that how much coffee trusted. and especially yesterday, when one of those hell's cap says release is not meant to hide group and said that she had been killed. and then suddenly we see her as one of those concepts being both side of the. so there is a sense of nervousness always,
5:11 pm
but never the less. yesterday has given people some higher pin in times of where we all head now people will be watching very closely the last night. they were watching on that phones before everyone walking around. uh, watching the live pictures as they were coming through local media is here. so they have a tv screens, desktops, people were following that and when it would be caught, since we're across the crossing over through that border into israel. there was a huge shea and a sign of release. now what we're hearing from these riley needs here, and again, nothing has been confirmed is that those things of that team of those held captive in garza are going to be handed over today. that's the number that we're hearing on this side, but really nothing confronted. there also reports things that most of them will be from one of the couple it says via which is where one of which is the one of the places where many of those were killed came from. but that will be interesting
5:12 pm
because yesterday the cops is mostly came from another uh cubic foot st seems to be like they may potentially be doing it based on location from where that from also. so just want to show you his atmosphere. there's going to be a massive riley held later and there's lots of. * projects that has been appearing in the last few days. this one here is by now, since i just spoke to the title, i think the children and of course is even babies. that's what kidnaps and if you have a take. so if you take a look here, um this has been here for on where he told me was that these lullabies, these are his riley lullabies. the mothers would often sing to that babies when you have lots of toys that have been a fatality head and lots of skulls with their hands and feet tight. and that's how they feel. they feel that many of those children are basically in captivity and they want them here as soon as possible. moving on forwards yesterday when we were
5:13 pm
talking so many people, they said that of course, this full day pause is a welcome us, a situation where they know that at least finally off the nation where they weren't hearing any single noise. how come? so that means that they all finally coming home prime minister benjamin netanyahu overnight said, but this is one of the goals of the will, is to ensure that all of them are a tons. but i know we were also hearing from someone speaking on stage. this thing that yes, well this was good news over night. it's not the end because really they want to see every one of those concepts brought back a life. a sarah hi rod reporting from tel aviv. thank you very much. sorry, anything you hear on your end, of course you will be keeping us apprised of those developments. meanwhile, inside god, so some palestinians are trying to take advantage of the ceasefire to return to their homes that are now often scenes of devastation and the daily struggles haven't gone away. there is still a severe shortage of fuel water, food,
5:14 pm
and medical supplies. of the hush and reports every day, a special for people in gaza, who survived the $48.00 days of israel's bombardment. the full day cease fire aroused them to check on what's left of the shot. the lights which the plot of what we wish for eternal peace, not just for days because people have gone through too many pains and there were still suffering. when we came back, we found out all the houses had been destroyed without the rather pitch attempt in front of my home than living somewhere else. i hope to cease for it can last forever. i lost people seized the moment for a brief breath of fresh air trucks. cutting a rule into southern guns are 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,
5:15 pm
which significantly restricts the number of passing trucks and personnel. therefore, we request a 2nd humanitarian, colorado, which can double the number of trucks coming in. people in guns 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 i just salsa zeros, has some also equities in central guys at the bow res refugee camp. and he met palestinians just as they were returning to what is left of their homes, who not shut up in the family, but it is come out to show he'd be and 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,
5:16 pm
month for do the mass of the large scale destruction as a result of israel's relentless bombardment. 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, namely, new site. i'd 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, sally coming many or 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, well come home, what, what are you up to on hannah will let her know to help and 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 there a few empty? uh, what model did you handle that? no. kind of have you been back before? i have continued on the optimum to for a little while. you're on the foot board. oh yes,
5:17 pm
i used to come every now and then despite the ruthless shelling was very dangerous, but i have to come back and check on my chicken life storm. 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 added, click the top of the head like and then you risk your life just to prepare some food for your children. the a whereas you up real quick now used to come on to the heavy show like to feed the lights still can 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 the condition, your home a to the and i don't know what i should buy off home is destroyed. there's nothing remains standing most of the dogs and chickens. what need to buy hungry street and all this is no, it is genocide to these ratings or destroying all homes and killing all people. that is old. it's unprecedented crimes. there's different old on the go ahead and you seem to just come back. what did you find out?
5:18 pm
well, i guess we'll say about the negative and just for to me to hit them then honestly, i've never imagined the scale of this destruction, not even one percent of the. my home was 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 school. we drink single to and pretend as fresh water. what can we do? you know? right, let's find out a little bit more how things are on the ground right now at 4 pm, 20 minutes past 4 pm on day 2 with deceased by agreement with our a god was who was in fine. eunice. the topic. i see the sun is setting what are people doing now in hon. eunice and across the southern part of the gaza strip. now that they are, you know, a day and a half into the ceasefire. well generally people, of course, the goal is this trip and we are to keep them particular about people in the south
5:19 pm
of the territories, the use deceased by an audit to have an access to the basic items and needs that they are. we were really missing it here in the last couple of weeks that since the beginning of this fighting started as a people now were that were line and got on long lines in order to have access to few and even gods as they were. post materials have been deprived for into the gaza strip under that gets really tight. ok to of course the goal is just check. now people are trying to afford the basic needs of this trip to the north of that your tree. they take a very risky journey in order to reach that and also the gaza strip as have been subjected to the east verify us from time. so i know the others managed to reach the goal to, to evacuate the loved ones from under the russell's mainly those people had experienced in human conditions in the south of the characters as old means of my that is the reading tell you as they were the 1st to mine up for a long day, you said an hours of order to have access to the water. so mainly they want to
5:20 pm
check on what happened to the houses in the north. i'm still this very moment. they are really hoping that deceased by a might extends, in order to be able to take their close to the items from the north of that 2 or 3 if they found a course stars. this is a, as, as i was mentioning, it's past 4 pm where you are, this is around the time when he, yesterday on day one of the ceasefire. we started learning that the captives being built, held by awesome guys that were being moved towards the roof of border crossing. so of course we've been a, we're on, we're on high alert for anything that might be coming out of gaza right now. and something else. you should know that we're watching live footage of the between your crossing. now this is just by the o for security facility. now we're talking about the occupied westbank. that is where a palestinian prisoners may be released from is really jails that that's if we see a repeat scenario on day 2 of what we saw on day one. so i have to ask you at this
5:21 pm
hour, the violations that how that, that israel has been accused of violations of the ceasefire. these accusations are leveled by, i'm us or those serious enough in your estimate to be a threat to the ceasefire agreements as well. generally since the ceasefire took place on the grounds between both sides and the majority of the elements that has been agreed on has been applied as the user, the occupation forces had made a phone withdrawal from the start of the gaza strip and times of the existence of the is ready, so it bring it up to drains. i'm from the palestinian flights of science. they have to spend all the minute 2 acts on the ground. a did not even the launch rockets they did not even attract any is by the truth existing on the is somebody palestinian land on the gaza strip. but meanwhile, is written for each side made the kind of minor but of our relations in terms of
5:22 pm
opening fire against people who tried to sleep, to the north of the territory. and also as the director of the committee of detainees and extension use in a palace to engage district. i'd say that there is a kind of a sense of frustration among the lines of the, the city in our. busy resistance generally in terms of the menu patient that's happened in the last calls, due to me as a duck are supposed to be released from the as ready side. not clearly these violations on the grounds i'm talking about because it it to be minor and could be bypass in order to, to succeed or to make a kind of success for the course of the ceasefire as well. hostages are expected to be released from both sides. also, what is the whole sample just say that there is a kind of joint operation room between the regional and the data is out of the united nations in order to guarantee that the situation on the ground must be stable. and they would like to maintain any kind of misunderstanding that might. ringback placed on the ground, that mean pull spots as the truth must be ended as what have been agreed upon.
5:23 pm
tarka boys whom reporting live with the very latest from inside the gaza strip. thank you very much. sorry. i want to bring in now an important guess mama do so you are the regional head of delegation in the g, c. c. that means the gulf countries for the i c r c, the international committee of the red cross of the i. c r c of course is playing a central role in this entire ceasefire agreement because it is the facilitating party in sick in, in getting the hosp beam, the captives released from the gaza strip. let's start with today and a caviar tour of yours. you have agreed to come and talk to us on the condition and in the knowledge that there are some things you won't be able to tell us about your work and how the accuracy is doing this. but we'd like to understand and know everything that you can tell us right now. are you able to inform us about anything that's happening inside the gaza strip and about the captive release on day 2 of the c spine? so 1st of all, i think yesterday it's good to revisit it. ok,
5:24 pm
just today i think in the midst of just so much pain and suffering that have happened. people in guys today has been able to catch a deeply deserved breast refresh here. and this is really well come from from outside because we, we are in the gather, stood with a 100 and, and 60 people working there. we were pleased to be able to facilitate these very delicate but very important mission to take the hostages outside of the games. a strip proffer and onto the is rarely so that they can be the united with their loved ones. you know, however painful, however difficult, the separations were, that's how sweet these familiar, the unions are. and on the other side, we were able to do that also taking the palestinians from prison up into the west bank. and so that they can go back to this. i'm just now the process of this is
5:25 pm
a delicate and a complex and a very important one. what can you tell us about this guy says he's able to do it because of the trust the both parties have the presence we have in the legitimacy from the people to be when you say the trust of both parties elaborate on that. so we've been in does this to have since 1967 continuously involve in supporting palestinians, but also involved in what we call a dialogue with the parties to this contract with the israelis and the policy. and i'm good. so you're talking about banks trust i, i assume limited trust, but trust nonetheless, between our mazda and israel. yes, they know we, until they know that we don't take side, and they know that we are credible. we do what we say we do. and this is, this is quite important. that's what they both don't trust each other, but they trust the i, c, r c. that's what neutral intermediary role of red cross is all about because, you know, war is a dark moment. this is where human,
5:26 pm
the value of human life is the lowest. in this moment, the rule of the red cross is to stanford humanity and, and to be these new to a person or bodies that can visit, presents the good, the most sensitive places. and how is it working? so if i can press you on that, that is what people want to know. how is it working? there has to be a hand over of captives from how most operatives to the i, c r c. and we're going to run those pictures, but we saw and we saw the release of captives on the egyptian side of the roof of border crossing. they were inside i c r c g. so yesterday and i think the images they spoke for themselves we, we had 4 land causes for i see i see land cruises, we have about 8 colleagues who are involved in this operation, including a doctor. it's important because they were the one who received this captive these, this us judges and we're able to go and deliver them people,
5:27 pm
they just see the jenny, but they don't see the complexity of it. because imagine you are in a war zone, you are in some time kinetic sometime, not genetic meaning, meaning live fire events. but in this particular question, that shouldn't be the case for me. it was on the side. yes, yes, but you have an environment that is very sensitive. yes, you have an agreement that these showed you, the importance lives depends on it. it is the reason why it is the truth is these are the reason why now there's a low and everything has to happen exactly how it should be. uh, so that the trust is maintained. you know, we are way we supposed to be. this is day 2 of the ceasefire. you confident we're going to see capt is being released from gaza again today. this is what we hope. this is what we're not sure of being prepared. we are ready to do it today. not only today, we are ready and willing to be doing it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. hold on, how much is when they say you're ready? we're talking about maybe right now. maybe in an hour,
5:28 pm
maybe in 3 hours. your team is on the ground, are supposed to be releasing captives. you're saying we hope this will happen. what, what i can tell you is what happened yesterday is the beginning of a month to day complex operation that should result in a release and an exchange, and a, and a, and a hand over of a hostages from from, from casa, as well. and well, let me put it this way, did day one did the, the way things went on day one. did that give you confidence, it will happen again on day 2. and on day 3 and day 4. you know, at the end of the day i or yes, yes or no questions? oh, it's a yes or no question. well i'm, i'm very hopeful i'll colleagues the hopeful and they own stand by really to, to do the job. okay. uh uh that's, that's what i can say. now i cannot give you a time. i can of give you the number of people but we hopes. ready we think it's going to happen and we would be, they have to do this work,
5:29 pm
which is really important because can you speak to the obstacles that your teams may have encountered yesterday were there are obstacles you know, when you, when you are operating in an environment like does that today or the west bank and things might not go exactly as you want. uh huh. um, but uh we are talking about a very dedicated team that is on the ground that he's very aware of the stakes uh, both on the other side, but also in his real and newest bank. and we're going to do it with surgical precision in terms of what the part is. i would wait to and we would deliver these persons today love twice. because, you know, when a fire in humanity says a 4 day agreement after this ends is this doable. what the i c r c is doing right now, facilitating the swaps is this doable on a larger scale if both parties want to continue releasing captives and prisoners?
5:30 pm
you know, since they want, what we have said with what is necessary for him. and panelists, it was that hostages should have been or release unconditionally. this is our statement. we said it's engage with the parties so that they are release if they cannot be released, that we visit them, that we check on their conditions, how they've been able to visit any of the captain. we on the train, everything we can to visit them. we have not visited them yet. we have not yet. okay, know, but again, it is real said before the ceasefire started that that was part of the deal and and then and then we heard nothing more about that. so for the moment the i c r c has not been able to visit, can that we have done on, but we have made it very clear and we have engaged with home us and the highest level president with many of us we've engage with other states and other actors who can influence things for that week and play that role because it's important, you know, when people are in these kind of situation and they uh pick and from.
