9:02 am
will overnight. in addition to the earlier of yesterday's evening, attacks the nearby residential homes and i'm on mosque a close to the vicinity of the community hospital. all these really are striking, seeing you 2 pounds roughly the making. it's absolutely on the for a, for one, for the local residents and for the 1000000 as displaced, palestinians that, and rough i city at these days, making life very difficult, intimidating, more people into the fact that this place is indeed not safe for everyone. now people are at their sense of safety and security have been, has been shattered completely, and people are wondering in brooklyn, and this is the last point that they can evacuate to. and other than this of the art, if they are being pushed further. and the only option that they have is the go in as a crossing over do the egyptian side as more residential homes and more neighborhoods
9:03 am
were targeted and more infrastructure and on roads connecting the different neighborhoods over up by being targeted and destroyed is becoming increasingly difficult. when we talk about moving it from eastern side of roughly that the eastern part of phil, i had been rhodes on the western side as more roads and more in our section being targeted a and destroyed which is very similar in this scenario, repeats itself. it's happening in, in an hon, eunice that's more uh, more air strikes and, and a r tillery is shillings continue to destroy more of the, uh, the residential homes in the public facilities. and particularly now more of a systematic attacks on, on hospitals and schools and eastern hon units as well as in the heart of the cities. 3 the district and around the vicinity of nasir hospital, the northern part of guys that is no different and a down the, the,
9:04 am
the areas here in, in the central part on the southern part. in fact, much of the, the broke the brutality of the, of the relentless air strikes are taking place in the northern parts in gauze and city. the reports about a majority of, of residential homes have been completely level to the grounds. we were having difficulty getting a figures right these days you do to complete a blackout of, of phone service and internet and major parts of the, of the gaza strip. but without uh, our stores. then the ground also find it difficult to transfer those data to just okay, we're hoping that coming days, if we're getting back on connected and getting back with the phone services, we're able to get a better picture and more accurate picture of the level of devastation happening uh, how did you with you were mentioning the about more attacks on the hospitals? what's been happening then to the dozens of people injured that you saw yesterday
9:05 am
in those strides where they've been taking that that is will the hospital we're reporting of from around that vicinity? the small size hospital late the it was founded to act as the a i a the 1st responder, a hospital where treating the basic and admitted goes a needs. but when it comes to major surgeries in dealing with large numbers of, of injuries like what happened yesterday, the hospital a does, it's initial, a step of, of doing the injury transferred to other hospitals in, in rough estimate. the larger size of the like in a job hospital and the guys are in the hospital right here in this hospital. a good way to specialize hospital a more than a 25 injuries were brought here the hospital and it was
9:06 am
a really packed and we're not talking about all the injuries brought to the hospital. we had talked about also their relatives. they are very family members who is come along with them and neither the ambulance or the carried them from the side of the attack. so very, very crowded, a scene inside the hospital and that, that gives the, makes it a very difficult for the medical team to operate. and also it ran out of a space really quickly as the there are no medical supplies, enough medical supplies for that large number. so do those 25 injures we're taking a transfer. do other a hospitalization reflect for better treatment and better medical intervention? again, the, the, when i say better medical treatment, it's just the fact that it's, it's a larger hospital, but they have the same problem. no medical supplies, no space in those is for the most hospitals. now, in dropbox turned into evacuations on. all right, honey, my mood life was the in rough and southern garza. how do you thank you. a. what is
9:07 am
the department is that benjamin netanyahu says he still intends on wiping out. i'm not saying any potential new troops would be short lived until how much was eradicated. i know these really hostages fried and i home, i'm sure whom i mean, comma us of the will, will continue until we destroy him. us until victory. does he think we will see thought, which is not connected to reality? why should we also striking how must, with heavy fire every one else, including today us, we also striking go to a time us close or fall every how much terrace is best on for the human, every 2 options and a who does a rundown or die without a higher up joins us live now from occupied east jerusalem cyrus of netanyahu. they're saying he wants to continue the fight against time us, but he's on the immense pressure at home to get the cap just released isn't a of the yeah, that's right. and so that's him saying that really they will never be at least not
9:08 am
so any time soon of time and an end to the flight thing, which is something that's how my husband saying it was something that's uh the, the full season. yeah. might have been saying that they want as well as something, but has paula says it wants to all of them say that will continue those rockets. the tax is that if the israel continues, it is from bonds minutes of gaza. now it is facing immense pressure. the wood cabinet, as well as the prime minister, we've had, it's my and had a, a one of the how much lead is visiting egypt and they were discussions. it seems that including, as he is not meant to hide group, another group that has held some of those is riley's, as cap says, and i'll still holding on to the end cause so you have more than a 120 of them still held in captivity. and of course, the public is still pushing for one thing, a deal to happen as soon as possible to ensure the return of the house captive box
9:09 am
is writing needs at the moment is saying that it seems that no deal is any way in the making just yet it seems that they're still trying to, i know those decisions, the details. if that was to happen, we know that there had been a couple of the things between catch all the main visa, between the c i a chief as well as the head of the. it's really intelligence twice in the last week. so we know that seems to be discussions happening as for the details. it's still not clear. so i'm all reporting, but that could potentially be a one week seas file one week pause and 5 think it's almost saying to it's not again confirmed yet just yet, but we're there is also discussion as to what would be in return for that. so, for example, some reporting that that would be full t comp says potentially is what is ralph wants to have released, including women children as well as those the else would be. we've seen them in some of those videos that were released. why, how much and it's not mixture has how close all we. 2 is the,
9:10 am
it's still not clear. but what is clear is the people are still gathered in the hostage square. so i pulled hostage quest best still carrying on with the bring them back home campaign, and they still want to ensure that the hostages are not killed in israel and are returned to live. so all right, thank you. mean all his ready for it says continue coming out. danny raves across the occupied westbank military vehicles entered several cities and towns including nicholas and bethlehem. early on thursday, they rated holmes entertained at least one palestinian in definitely i must get more from laura hom. she's live for us and remodel laura, so focused through what's been happening over night with these rates is absolutely down. and now i did speak to one pulsing village. he said they feel as though they're living ground whole day, which means these rates are just being repeated every single day. and the one thing that very concerned about is it's going to become normalized. you can almost trace the line all the way down through the occupied westbank. from janine we saw last
9:11 am
night to cut a nap less ramallah. we saw homes run sector with pictures of anti rooms turned upside down as this res. so just entered the longest right. took place in janine and finish, quoted you about now here they with that for many hours, but they went in by foot, which is quite unusual. and people say they are just simply feeling more confident to not have to go into homage vehicles. i know there was 17 arrests last night, but more than just numbers. the reality on the ground here is we all seeing the bloody is douglas here in to the move in 2 decades, 302 p a 303 people have been killed since october, the 7th, and the $511.00 since the beginning of the year, so while all the attention is very understandably on what's happening and golf at the moment, people are very concerned that these 90 raise that the arrest and the,
9:12 am
the continuous death toll rising is going to become much more normalized. yeah, lower and away from those raids cypress, an israel have now agreed to set up a, a maritime aide car door to gaza. what more do we know? yeah, that's right. so the is ready for administer the co and i went to cyprus on wednesday . he spent about 5 hours that he met his cypriots, towns of pods, constant stuff columbus. they went to monica, which is in the south of cyprus. and they, they started to hammer out the details in order to stop sending shipments from monica to gone. so now this initiative isn't new. the cypriot president had about a month ago suggested this to the, at, for the power piece for him. and many you delicates that agreed with
9:13 am
a deal. and some were willing to even help out with the details of his voice. real concerned about this, saying that were many adults to overcome the full they could send these very long shipments to gone to the 1st one is a matter of time security as the ships are sailing that how are they going to keep these good safe on once they get the at the goals and puts out the inner structure . it just doesn't fit these very, very large shipments coming in. so there are a mountain of hurdles take they're going to take place. however, the flight for us please. it is the natural stepping stone full of these 8 convoys, considering the proximity to gone so that only around 400 kilometers northwest and the 1st e u nation there as well. so they all hammering out the details that moment on. israel says it's hoping it will happen as soon as possible. laura, thank you. of the un security council. meanwhile is expected to vote in the coming
9:14 am
hours and a resolution that would call for the suspension that facilities and gaza. the votes been delayed for 3 days is different. that's negotiate with the united states. on the wedding of the draft, which early this month, washington featured her resolution quoting for a ceasefire, while the united arab emirates tables that latest resolution, if some baffled or to the un voice, the hope the security council will come together to respond to the war and joseph diplomacy takes time, it means evolving conversations and people are giving it their attention at the highest levels of the capitals that have leverage on this. so i think from that sense you have to be optimistic and diplomacy, otherwise we wouldn't or come into this building every day. not sense i am optimistic, but in another sense. if this fails, then we will continue to keep trying because we have to keep trying. there's too much suffering on ground uh for the counsel to continue to fail on this and we haven't failed. we have a resolution 2712 we need to build on that resolution. and i hope we will also adopt a humanitarian resolution, the response to the crisis on ground. well,
9:15 am
gabriel is on those at un headquarters with the latest from the security council or just within the past 3 days there have been 7 different delays or postponements in this un security council vote on humanitarian aid getting into guys the main sticking point we believe now with the united states is this language in the draft as it's written now about a monitoring mechanism being implemented essentially would be the united nations that takes the lead in overseeing and facilitating this a getting into gaza. and then it's distribution to the people that need the most. now, why are other security council members agreeing to these delays? we believe the reason is because they to want to get a draft of this resolution that is acceptable to the united states, at least. so the americans don't veto it, of diplomat say they will be returning here to the security council on thursday
9:16 am
where they hope to have some sort of agreement on a resolution that can get passed gabriel's on to i would just need a united nations in new york it's time for us to break here and i'll just say around when we come back hyper inflation, i'm food shortages, millions of people in new share. the bunch of economic sanctions imposed up to i'm going to want select the it is a tenant object to produce objectives these coverage. many parts of is really media are effectively engaging in propaganda or genocide. what these really military was telling us does not fit in with what evidence they have so far. and yet, on the fringes of this way, the public discourse and seeing more voices persist sale, calling the traitors. the listening close covers how the news is come. watch this
