on the . ready here and guys out, we need a seats for sites for that will stop the killing of civilians and the destruction of civilian civilian infrastructure in gaza. but most importantly, to enable the conditions on the ground here, so that we can effectively deliver high to the site because the un security council close but increased i to goes a bit can't agree on the cold for 65. the frontal mccrae, this is i will just say we're live from. so coming up several did an injured off to these ready military attacks of residential area and the elbow restrictions you
3:01 pm
can't. and central cancer in the us is a ron is involved in the tax on commissions ships carried out by human speak to revel groups in the red sea, the it's, it's 12 gmc, that is 2 pm in gaza with more than $2000000.00 palestinians who have suffered more than 2 months of unrelenting is riley attacks, a wanting to see if the un security council's booth resolution on the conflict will make any difference. it demands an increase in i to post indians and gaza and asks both as well. and i'm us to provide the safe and i'm in the delivery of supplies into the strip, but there has been no call for a cx 5. hey, the agencies have criticized the resolution among the ox fam, which has described the vote as a dereliction of the juicy by the united nations to safeguard civilians. moss is the resolution,
3:02 pm
does not address the catastrophic humanitarian situation created by israel. all the un security council, this version is riley strikes, continued across the gaza strip. 18 people were killed and this rod refugee camp and strikes on residential buildings. women and children are among the dead and injured gabriel, alexander reports from new york. after being postponed, multiple times, google finds the un security council passed a resolution calling for scaled up humanitarian aid. and the guys, a 13 votes in favor, russia in the us of stain, allowing the resolution to pass without a veto. but at the behest of the united states, the resolution went through several drafts throughout the week. long delay behind closed doors, the americans pushed to alter the wording of the resolution to make it more favorable to israel. previous drafts called for an immediate cessation of hostilities that was later downgraded the suspension of hostilities. but even that
3:03 pm
language was removed instead, the final resolution called to create the conditions for a sustainable cessation of hostilities, a far cry from a ceasefire. the previous draft called for a un monitoring mechanism to exclusively over c h shipments that was scaled back to a senior coordinator appointed by the secretary general, who will then establish a monitoring mechanism. but that leaves the door open to possible coordination with israel and language that explicitly condemned indiscriminate attacks against civilians has been altered to simply call on all parties to adhere to international law. a frustrated, russia tried to add back in language, calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities. the u. s. b towed it started earlier, i said the vote would be
3:04 pm
a moment of truth and that's what happened. the us once again exposed their true face in front of the world, blocking and even extremely weak call for a station of hostilities in gaza. there is no disconnect here. we are all working to address the humanitarian needs on the ground and we're working to address those needs immediately. that's what this resolution is about. re admin, sir. the palestinian ambassador to the un city full ceasefire is needed and there is an emergency to make it happen. we will not relent on 10 with each and immediate ceasefire and having the massive amount of humanitarian assistance to the palestinian people and the gaza strip. as for israel, it has ignored security council resolutions in the past and their early indications that it is prepared to do so. again, israel's deputy u. n. m. baset are said after the votes that his country still reserves the right
3:05 pm
to inspect all a going into gaza as it sees fit. it's now up to the un secretary general to figure out how to get more aid into gaza as the resolution mandates. and he hinted that it could be quite difficult unless is real changes its behavior. the real problem is that the, what use ratio is conducting visual fantasies is creating massive ops that goes to the distribution of humanitarian. they've eaten side garza and effective a, they'll put ation even gals that require of security staff will, can working safety, logistical capacity and the resumption of commercial activity. these 4 elements do not exist as difficult as the negotiations were on this resolution days that the real challenge might be in the coming weeks trying to implement it. gabriel was on
3:06 pm
though i would use either at the united nations in new york or the director of under f as in gauze and spoke to my colleague send me is ident alia from rossa, and says they need to see spot in order to deliver the aid or the resolution falls well short of what we need here and guys, we need a seats for seats for that will stop the killing of civilians and the destruction of civilians civilian infrastructure in gaza. but most importantly to enable the conditions on the ground here. so that we can effectively deliver high to the people, have garza thomas just to be absolutely clear here as a new day dawn that in gall. so off to this resolution, all you in any position to increase a deliveries because of this resolution? oh, oh not at this stage we're waiting to see what will come from the resolution in terms of the amounts all by that we can bring into gaza. but we remained very concerned
3:07 pm
here. the once the id is in gaza, the ongoing conflict is preventing us from delivering that i it is very difficult. we are restricted from accessing the population in a north by the is riley army. but the level of in security here means it's very difficult for us to access many of the population. and in fact, you know, at sites where we should be protected, allied work and should be protected there at risk. we had one of our staff who was hit, what by what we understand is tank for into a tractor he was operating at a dump side the other day. and down on the boat itself, the roof of border crossing. we've had 3 drones, drones strikes and racing dies, so we need to be able to have safe and secure access for i'd work cuz the convoys that we have to access populations across garza, under our facilities,
3:08 pm
the schools that you run your stuff any say for today because of this resolution, latan will only tell what i can say is that, you know, we've had a 180 of our installations in guys. many of them hosting people seeking safety. people seeking safety under a u. n. flag had been 6 uh over 200 people have been killed in those installations . but as the un security council was meeting the other nights at the same time, messages were being passed to the community in the middle areas of gaza, telling them to evacuate. this is telling more people to move, many of them who are being displaced before to an area that cannot provide them with shelter. so at the same time we, we were discussing things that the security council, the, as riley army was telling the more people to move and signaling a broadening of the, the offensive hearing, gaza as good as bring it in the shower. i'll just there
3:09 pm
a senior political analyst in it, given everything that's on the spot was, was saying you into own stuff being killed, you know, almost on a daily basis at this point in time. i mean, given what we saw or the united nations security council, what does it say about them as an organization to day and even at this point, 70 old dies on from the side of the war. still come to get a ceasefire over the line. yes, this is probably the, the greatest failure of the so called international community that you've seen in modern times because this is a very particular kind of tragedy that of guys all, that's all remember guys that it's not a state assigned yet. although it's certainly nice by most member of the united nations is not the solve the independent state and has gaza is at the mercy of the responsibility of the united nations and guys as a very particular case, ukraine. it's not an independent state garza in as far as
3:10 pm
a so with it being in a time of war is the responsibility of the united nations. so the united nations, you can say, especially the security council, has failed the people who caused by their fail their own responsibilities. uh, as you know, the executive by the, if you were of this world that we live in. but anyway, be that as it may we have, are you one secret the console solution that every single humanitarian or international organizations are telling us? what does not work? why? it's actually can be distilled, a very, very simple formula in human work. then you who man war does not work in tandem with humanitarian assistance. it's really very simple. and they're saying you have to be simply physically cannot distribute aid to various parts and does that when the bombings are 40. and when is that is basically against this un secret, the consultation is there is yet to stop its war yet to to slow
3:11 pm
down. it's for, right it's, it's rejects american requests or facing out the so called intensive to the less intensive phase of and who's the idea of getting that aid that presumably promise. and that would be accumulating on that off of our other crossings into guys that in guys is going to be basically impossible. i mean, why do you think at the end of the day that the us felt compelled to, to get this resolution throwing those. i abstained, obviously from the, from the, from the vote. but do you think it is a turning point and, and the policy at all, or is this just a, a way to allow this rather keep doing what it's doing. but it's be seen in the why the international community is actually doing something for the people and get us a very good question. i think it's very important. i think 90 percent, i would say if i would have an assign a figure, i would say 90 percent, it's to keep up the appearances of being a central figure, a driving force,
3:12 pm
a shape of events, a new political power in the middle east region. and that it will not allow trying to our restaurant here on to fill the vacuum that it will remain at the forefront or whatever the initiative is going to be in the reach. but it's also a way, but 10 percent is to try to we go to have a wiggle room with this, right. because we know that now there are 2 clarks happening. the american clock is we need to phase out the water in 2 or 3 weeks. these are the say 2 or 3 months, i think this resolution will help the united states. what is right and in terms of speeding up the phasing out the war. now just to be clear, because we have covered this so closely for the past 75 days, i think our viewers might get confused because we are very, you know, in our coverage of the little bits of details. american position, what a change in tone over the past 75 days. it did not change in essence until today.
3:13 pm
again, i said with this resolution, the american position is this is the green light and also force it needs to defeat from us to continue with its war on gaza regardless of the consequences. but we, the united states went on the line that we need is rise to minimize the human suffering is read over this by 75 days. did not minimize the human suffering as we all know. but the united states continued to support is read and presumably object to minimize the human suffering. so how we come to christmas? 75 days later, somebody, you're not, the admissions are calling this, you know, the christmas medical? yes, there's repairs. in fact, the secular smith's nightmare for the people and guys out because the war would continue to be waged, perhaps more intensive. yeah. that in the previous few days. yeah. well,
3:14 pm
we're going to find out a little bit more about exactly what is happening on the ground now. thanks so much . mullen, we're going to go to a hunting of moody, joins us from rough. uh, rough. uh and southern a guys are and i mean, can you just give us the initial reaction to the un security council resolution? well, what is the palestinians might have a day, or is there any expectation now that things going to be different of the just what we are here at the distribution point operated amount is by the, by, on our wall here in the southern part of the gaza. strip and where we had a nice sense of what people feel about the un resolution of, of loss of my, my last night so far the, the reaction is that is, is a, is full of, of frustration and disappointment. not that at the after it's a more than 70 days, the resolution does not include or does not call on israel. do see is fire. and to
3:15 pm
put an end to all, it's a military operations in the gaza strip. and the fact that the americans are not exercising enough power to a pressure israel and to choose the course of the situation on the ground. the fact that there is a down in grading of the language of the resolution that it had to undergo several attempts until it came out largely in favor is about making everybody feel that this is not going to help at all on the graph. particularly when we think of the mac and there's a delivery on distribution. does these see behind me? this is the queue that the line that people in the early hours of every morning, almost a daily routine for the 10001000 palestinians, evacuated to the southern part under most of the time he v bombardment in the area or close by the distribution points. these stand here risking their lives just to
3:16 pm
get their either a food to stay on or they're out there, one bag of the slower the situations are very difficult on the ground. and there is no a sense of help that this resolution is going to change anything or impact their life in any positive way whatsoever. and how do you just bundle? let's talk about this resolution and i getting in mean the killing and does it does continue, can you, it took us through the latest bombing rights by his rel, understand 5 people have been killed in the last hour or so. well this is the irony of the situations and the frustration of people, given the fact that there are there work talks about this resolution. and it's in favor of these really largely when compared to the palestinians. and just the, the talk about increasing humanitarian ada trucks in 2000, but at the same time, palestinians display as feedback. and we just find themselves the victims of
3:17 pm
ongoing bombardments. and just as we do overnight, at nearly hours of this morning, more people are going to get a display of that and to come display sense the homeless as they are given these chart borders by these many military in the central area of the god district. namely, the of the refuge account is including a version about as the and the site where they were order sharply to move to the western side of bidders velocity. the what seems to be on a preparation for an already announced a plan by these regularly military to create a buffer zone, hold at the border lines of the eastern part of the gaza strip at all. that talks about all of this. it doesn't really add anything positive to people when at the same time on the ground, the live, the suffering a day by day i need for a date represents an increasing misery on suffering for them. thanks so much, honey. you're welcome. good for us. once again and profit and southern gaza as well
3:18 pm
sizing is continuing between is ready for us as an hezbollah and saw them live in on. on friday, his black haired out 5 attacks on his ready military positions targeting barracks and gatherings. all of this ready soldiers in the vicinity is ready for us as attacked a number of positions, including roads along the border and conducted rides. the towns of the come valley river were been at smith is right across this for us and tell us even to benny, can you just give us an update on just how intense this fighting was? and is this assigned as a things escalating even further than they have along that border? the family as well says it's hate to targets couple of hezbollah targets in the southern 11 on in response. he says to that 5 that came from 11 on an israel is also lost. another soldier that's 10. he's riley soldiers killed since october, the 8th, and 11 on his last about a $120.00 of its finances. but what's happening in the past 24 hours pretty much
3:19 pm
these eyes pa, for the calls may increase in 5 between the 2 sides has been escalating really since just after october. the 7th. as paula says, it will continue doing this until level in gaza ends. but there's a real risk, the fear is the wall. both sides say they don't want to go to an old out will. and accidents such as a mis solve using a large population out or large number of people gave being killed, could create the grounds for a was to stop israel while a gauze of wars is priority. what's happening on the board are still a very live issue. there are about 82000 people displaced from is riley towns on the border with the lab and on. and israel says it wants them to be able to go home and want a wants a diplomatic solution. he says if it doesn't find one soon, that needs for pads to try and sort of essentially force as well as positions further and further away from the 11 east side of the border. so that has the bullet kennel come, no longer target israel,
3:20 pm
but the risk is escalates beyond the sort of control tips the time. like i thing set then it will be keeping a close eye on the, on that situation. they've been, it's smith for us and tell of a at least 20 palestinians including children killed and there's very strong send us a rod refugee camp in central gals onto the russell several of those killed, evacuated from northern, gaza to escape as well as bombardments and could r has more, what i'm saying is, is handing on the rubble of the house of the journalist, how much time in the service refugee camp. the scene is horrific. here are bodies that are still trapped under the rubber. a can use 20 palestinians have been killed in 4 are still under the rubble, including children. and this house was had at least 18

3:22 pm
people were looking for winter clothes and for blankets. they were trying to take the remains of what's left of this house, the the people who live here were taking their clothes their blankets because the weather is very winter and they're homeless. learn right now. this is the seas that we have been using since the 1st day of the war on cause. and the, the air strikes continue every single day, people in this area and surround me just area. and then my guys and in the state off in other areas in the gaza strip, have been called to evacuate. what people are telling us that they don't have any place to evacuate, and there is no place safe. this isn't the whole city i 0 say it out there for g

3:24 pm
a jewish but toward you've sent the christmas story. is a palestinian story can, can you explain exactly what you mean by that? yes, i mean that christmas story. and this is why the celebrations i've canceled the churches are, will have their services because the christmas story is there any event to the like may be never before. uh for me is that christmas story is indeed if i understand your story politics salons, because if you read the story doesn't talk about that india and the wife christmas on that you can get a buzz or an of this packaging. and that came with that with a commercialized eh, and they could you much of say a to christmas. but the christmas books read about it for the family that lives in the north of palestine. and as that it is altered by and a beauty a degree to move south at about the lab to it. just that that's exactly what the
