so the sudden the while i'll do, i'll just say regardless as bureau chief has been killed in this way, the strike comes out of the window died when the call that he was travelling in was directly hit. he's an f p gen list and along with most of that that i was also killed alongside him, wiles, wife and other son, daughter, grandson, were all killed and is ready at the rate that hits the house back. you know, tell you that strong is here at the top of the aisle and in russell is honey my mood uh, in southern gaza. a huge tragedy for the family, but its one thats replicated for hundreds of thousands of families in ga. so right now, yes indeed, the tragedies for this particular family for what else? and the remaining uh, family members who have enjoyed so much since the 25th of october when their

mother, as well as wife and his daughter and his son, as well as a grandson roll, killed in a nearest targeted, targeted the residential block, the work sheltering in in the center of the area of the gaza strip once again be were in an area that was designated to save by this really military and were told to leave the area in the north in the southern part of java city. and nearly to avoid a fee and bomb. and within just a day of the senate, 24 hours of their arrivals, who were killed in that residential block in the center of the area and sent another tragedy. now for his remaining simply the passing of the killing of his son from home. uh, his siblings were pretty much looking at him as a, as a sort of searching support for the family after they lost their, their,

their mother. but this is what we have seen so far since the beginning of this war, entire family is being wiped out completely at one air, strikes, seeking out a 3 generation at once. the grandparents here in sense and the siblings and sometimes the and the grand, the grandchildren of the family, just as we recording about comes up. and he's killing the records from jeff value lose a, it were 60 people from one family were killed in the family. and this is not the 1st time this particular family being targeted at the, in the 1st weeks of where they were targeted, large numbers. but this time those who survived the 1st being killed in an area arrives with people under the. busy retain the one family, including the boss being killed. remaining

is indeed the chance to make it very, very because the newer members in the ground exist, there has been been at top 10 and most of the members were killed. so just it just the people in the area who are removing the rebels with their bare hands just to help those who might have survived idea attacks. but that's the pattern of destruction and mass going so far. also just an old, consistent with one fact eh, making java uninhabitable. very consistent with the report by buying on or why united nations for policy refugees that came out yesterday describing gonzalez as uninhabitable and it is indeed uninhabitable right now and unbearable. indeed, honey, and severe is that a joining us? i just want to reflect on the pictures that we are seeing in the middle of your

screen. these are some of the latest pictures that are coming of the assembly of homes out do a we, we saw earlier the grease a by fall that while all don't do and uh, the, the remaining sisters of homes, all the do, nothing can really explain the sort of grief that they must be feeling. and with also telling of view is an, as you was saying earlier, i mean this is, this is a family that has already experienced a huge, huge amount of grief just in a short amount of time to go. the other members of the family, what killed in during these really as strikes a wild son, dosa and ground son will killed. and then is there any rate that hit that house and back in october it's really hard to comprehend how

much suffering these families are going through in gaza to yes, it is. it's hard to convert in the level of, of trauma right now with his younger siblings and on this thursday, as well as daughter who many times that i've said before, the look that comes as the a source of support that is training says he was told was here between the taking the breaks in between, just to meet with them and talk to them and, and just embrace them and just filling the void that lots of their mother has pretty much dominated their life mentally. the mother of that also their, their phones, the big home contains all of them before the war started is gone. old shutter own meanings of life. have been chatted with that and then and his family and they've been, it's really just

a representative sample of 1000 literally 1000. then in the doing it through since the beginning of this in this for a minute. as bombings of, of the god there is no safe place. regardless, everything about safety. a safe zones is a light, it's falls. it's come through a victory to the fox on the ground. people within hours of their arrival in these safe zones have been, have been killed as the spokes person units of jim. so therefore, that you cannot create a safe zone in a war zone. it's a war zone. it's pretty much misleading to describe these areas as safe zone when, when they're literally, when we say literally, there are no toilets, that's the very basic elements and those area doesn't exist. and we mean it, when we say there's no toilets in these areas. so it's hard to describe them a safe area when you can find your most basic needs or you've missed the most basic

needs are met. but that's, that this is what's going on. and this, what have these people have been enduring since the beginning of the war? and or is it just not because they are, they are good at adjusting and coping with the students because they have no other options. and for the hundreds of 1000 of people, foreigners in dropbox, now there is no other place to go to. i mean, the only options remaining for because press over the age of which device would you do not want that to happen. they want to stay here in their home to want to build their land. a bit more aggressive. there's years trying to get the more bombings. we're just leaving people with no other options unfortunately. okay, so now we will let you go, honey must move that for us. in rafa, in southern golf, so we can bring in newer or de who's in ramallah. she's a full, my colleague of homes. i'll do. uh so you knew him very well. i'm so sorry. indeed for your loss. what more can you tell us about what you've been

hearing and the 2nd stances around which he has died. thank you for having me. i'm a former colleague of what and i, at the time hamza was a child very promising, energetic child and the joy of what as life. um, what i do know is that to hands. uh and his colleague most of the and the crew of palestine tv, we're heading to do their job to report on the overnight targeting of this place, palestinians who had been killed, where at least 24 of them had died, including several children and toddlers. and so they were heading to an area west of con eunice, between hon eunice and dropped off the same area that israel has. they designated up as a safe area for the displaced they were in their car. clearly marked,

they were wearing their deer that also clearly marked them as journalists, and they were directly targeted by a drone attack. as i witnesses have recounted, the, the, the seeing was of, of the author chaos and the spare and, and uh, as your reporter, jaime was saying, this is not the 1st tragedy to strike while the assembly. and you know, it's becoming increasingly impossible, really for a journalist and goes up to reports without fearing that they would be next in line after having lost a $109.00 of their colleagues just and this time of the past 3 months. id say at least a 109 palestinian gentlest have been killed in the conflict so far and that number could be even higher up. do you believe that janice, all being targeted,

i have no doubt that they are being targeted during list and gaza are a family and they are the eyes and ears and voice of the people in garza of there. the only way that the world can know about the insur mountable pain that they are going through the, the loss that no words can really describe the tragedy, the genocide that they are in during, is being transmitted an a to the world so that nobody can claim plausible deniability, that is science to the colleagues, the men and women of this family who have been tireless and who have been selfless, who have lost so much to have lost their families. they've lost their colleagues, they've lost their homes, and yet they continue. they persist. i was part of that family for many years. and once you're part of the apologies i want to,

i just want to interrupt to briefly because we can hear from while i'll do now. let's have a listen to what he has to say. he is the best dispos or of affairs. this is our choice. this is our fate. and we must accept our fate, no matter what happens, because our ultimate hope is that a lot be satisfied with us and that a lot of use us as patient people. this is the fate, and this is the choice of all the people here on this land. as you can see, people in droves are saying good bye to their loved ones and to their children every day, every hour and every 2nd. and me just like all of these people, i am bidding farewell today. what else can i say? a lot the almighty may a lot,

the almighty give us strength. give us comfort, give us some patients that go with the, the stuff the may a lot of the almighty give us the strength to carry on. sure. for the, for the sake of homes and for the sake of all the murders and to hums. uh, and to all the murders, i say we will remain faithful stop. but you know, this is the road that we've chosen, you know, consciously, why we have offered much. and we have offered a lot of blood because this is our destiny. and we shall continue. we shall move forward. this is the great challenge for us. it is true that we feel sorrow. it is true that we are experiencing suffering. it is true that we are in pain. when lisa sob. lloyd gotten fun for like i said, there is nothing harder than the pain of losing. so they start with,

what can you say when you've lost a child? how does that was not a part of me? how does that was all of me? he was the soul of my soul, went up and he was everything to me and them on that and but also it was a lot of us telling them when we feel sorrow, we remember that the profit dispute upon him also felt sorrow and also shed tears these are the tears of sorrow, these are the tears of farewell and these are the tears that distinguish us from our enemies. we are full of humanity and they are full of murder. what does that as they are full of rage for that reason we cry, we more and we should tiers. yes. however, our tears are tears of humanity on the cut on which they are the tears of dignity to morrow, and they are not the tears fear for this,

they are not the tears of terror. they are not the tears of surrender and defeat of codes. and this makes me say today, national model that we will continue to know and will by shall we are still working live on there. and we are not ashamed of anything, but i know. yeah. my son holmes was working with me. he was working with us as part of the i'll just the or a crew. no more than a couple, a new piece and i started working before hamza was born. my uncle or something that you can stand until now. today, i have been working on this mission for over 2 decades working on this humanitarian mission after my family and after hums. we will definitely continue. we will continue l'aquila monumental. however, the entire world must take a look at what is going on here in the gaza strip. what is going on is difficult.

it is painful. it is massive and there is great injustice here for an art people for the civilian people who live here who live in glen. what is happening holds great and just this for us as a journalist. yeah, it was said on how do you have to write you in the past that the freedom of opinion and the freedom of expression. and not knowing that the words that journalists do in obtaining information, photos, and footage, and order for the deserving audience to view with them. the more convinced it was said that our job was guaranteed by international law and humanitarian law. however, 107 journalists have fall and their blood has been spilt on this land, as if no one heard about what was said, my eye, as if no one was seeing what is happening here. i call upon the entire world

to put an end up to me and while he then hold this killing and that is taking journal, this is one after the other. i hope that the blood of my son comes will be the last . the blood spills by journalist and the lead for blood to be spilled here by anyone in the guys us trip. i hope that this massacre will come to an end. however, no matter what the cost, we will continue. this is a humanitarian emission that is guaranteed by international law. and this is our i duty that we will do and continue until the end of the homes. may. i'll grant you. patience. allow me please to get your forehead. not for the cameras, not for anything else. you deserve more than, you know, there's a little bit of enough to allow for allow me to get your forehead. may allah have mercy on himself. so, and on. everybody sold a man just okay. let's pretend back to newark or the in ramallah. she is

a former colleague of while i'll do who we were just listening to that you can see that the sheer amount of grief he is feeling but his strength of current to coming through off to hearing that his son, while dodging. also, a journalist has lost his life earlier today and so much tragedy that this man is experienced in recent months. he will say lost his wife, a novice on a door, a grandson, old, killed in and is really right. just a few short months back in october, nor you knew, you knew him well, i saw you wiping tis i as you were listening to while talk. often when we come to the stories about the number of people that have died so far in this war, we're talking about numbers, but these are not just numbers based on people with the, with real families. tell us

a bit about why l and his family. you said you knew how does that as a child up and then to have family. that is, that is no longer there anymore. absolutely. this family is devastated. it's crushed their home, their entire neighborhood has been wiped out. what as life was the rock of the family, he loved her very much. and even though he was shy about sharing those sentiments, it came across every time he talked about her about her journey with him, about how much she endured, how patient, she's been with him all those years. i'm married to someone who is on call 24 hours a day, covering a very difficult a new story. one that is full of dangers, never at this level, but it was always always a risk to be

a journalist in gaza and he loves his family. it was a, everything to him. and how does that in particular, as we heard what and talk was everything to him. he was his 1st born, his eldest son, and he was the one he relied on. he wanted him always by his side. he was so proud the terms i studied during listen, graduated and, and want it to be part of this big family of journalist and gaza that i was talking about once you're part of the assembly and you're part of it for life. and you can leave, does that, but it doesn't leave you, you can move on. but those colleagues are always with you and you, you stay in touch because when you report out of gaza, you in your, the unimaginable you go through experiences you're entrusted by the families in gaza to tell their story whether it's a grief or even

a success. when there was space for that when there is time for that. and so that i can only imagine i, i've seen my colleagues around the world and i've seen the trauma that they've endured. many of the colleagues in the elevator team themselves have lost so many of their family members, including the another record or mountain ministry. a few less $21.00 members of his family, including his father and mother. and he didn't even get a chance to give them a proper burial. they remain under the, the, the role in, in july the and it was interesting them and knew where it was interesting listening to while despite the sheer amount of grief he's going through talking about how he will continue to do his job. he will continue to be a journalist and, and, and report on what is going on in gauze where he described it as

a humanitarian mission. this, this, this is not just a job being a journalist in gauze. is it? this is, this is why it's so important for these journalists to do this job in garza to, to, to be allowed to tell the stories as absolutely absolutely being a during listing goes are in palestine for that matter is not just the job. it's a way of life, it's a mission. it's a responsibility. you carry an awesome responsibility to tell the story that so many and a forces. so many people do not want to be told to brave the dangers to know every time you go out and report that there is absolutely no protection that you will will enjoy that you are a despite the fact that you are entitled to it, you will be targets it and our colleagues here in the west bank and gaza have seen

that have lived through that. we have grieved the loss of so many of our colleagues and in the past 2 years, it's been one crushing loss after another. starting with our dear friend sitting of laclare here in the west bank, who was killed by sniper engineering and then moving on to others. and now this an insurmountable loss really in gaza, of one colleague after another one family after another and, and to fear that you know, all of these murders will, will kill the story. and that's one of the concerns that they have. i speak to my friends on a daily basis and yes side from worrying about their safety about the safety of their family. they're worried that the story will dissipate, it will disappear if enough of them are killed. and that just shows you the kind of commitment, the kind of hard, the kind of bravery that it takes to be

a reporter in, in does, in palestine knowing full well how awesome how big that responsibility is. and let's go back to when, while heard the news of that he lost his wife, his rock, you said as well as the mother's son, daughter, and his grandson. he was reporting at the time when he found out on that can you remind of us uh, what exactly happened that day? i. that's why it wasn't goes a city. and he was reporting on the non stop bombardment of go the city a northern garza and he received a call and uh, and you could hear it in the background with a live image of the time he was asking food who died, what happened, how many and i know that our colleagues use him, told him, don't worry, they, they're injured, but we need you to come down. we need you to come fill up the hospital. it's

important for you to be here. they couldn't bear to tell him on the phone just how much he had lost and of course he came. he drove to a hospital and they did. but he found out that his wife had had died that his daughter, son and his and his grandson along with other family members all in all, it was, i think, 18. and i remember very clearly that a why and one to the target at home, the home that his displaced family had sought refuge in an area at the time israel had declared safe, it had ordered over a 1000000 palestinians in ga, the city and the north to had stopped exactly where, what is the time we went, he went to that home and he was the one who retrieved some of his family members

from under the rub. shortly after, in the following morning, he had to bid them all farewell about 18 in total, but really his wife, the loss of his wife when we all knew we all held in high regard and, and, and really had a lot of love for. because again, she was what, as druck, she was the person who took care of the family on what and was away his sibling, his cousin, who had shared with him so much of live stories and also of live spain's and to watch him lose his children. and his wife and then continue to do the reporting with bravery, with commitment, with selflessness really. and then move a head south to find eunice while a braving all of that grief, and then to be injury. going to lose another one of our dear top colleagues summit

of with that guy who was killed while he was filming the story of displace palestinians sheltering in a school in finding us who had been up shelves. and many of them had been killed to endure that loss as well. and that sense of responsibility that simon died while reporting when working with him. and now how does the it's just one blow after another to what and until the entire, under the family over there in gaza. as i said, this is a very closely knit a professional family. we, we know one another. we know each other's families. we know each other stories we've been there for each other over the years. even those of us who do part to the elders, either family, we've been there for another through it's a consent and to see all of that last is really it's

difficult to wrap your head around because there are no words to describe the amount of pain and grief that has engulfed all of them and all of us watching helplessly from far. i can't even imagine. thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us here in out. is there a newer odor? speaking to us back in ramallah, a former colleague of y u l dot, do we've just had, has lost his son this morning. how does that all do died when a call he was travelling in was directly hit. mine is rarely asked strike who power steering and jealous in gaza, not just covering the war, but they are living through it as we've been discussing, a 109 palestinian journalists that we know of have been killed in the conflicts. so for the policy and officials of kansas say it could be much higher than that. more than 50 media premises or offices have been completely approximately destroyed by

as rarely strikes. that includes the office of the a s p 0 in gaza. hundreds of palestinian janice and their families, including our calling, sent out to 0, have been forcibly displaced. they had to abandon their reporting equipment and offices in the north to live and report on the difficult conditions admits the frequent communication blackouts and the jealous working in areas of homes conflict or protected on the international monetary north, just like civilians under the geneva convention. but israel has been accused of violating rules of that little repeatedly kind of thing. and john, to say israel is trying to kill the messenger and silence story or we can speak now . so i'll just share a senior political and this more when the star who joins us on a set. so more grief, more terrible news coming in today for the out. is there a family where we're hearing that from, nor what's your reaction to the desk?

the son of while i'll do today. i think he just summarized sort of the dual side of this tragedy. i are the things why it has as a cat exciter, as a 1st in you. and as a colleague, as a family, he sort of represents the pat, docks of life and guys of both the, the exception and the rule to living. and guys of the simple, we've been reporting for more than 3 months. the civilian deaths, the civilian kidding, the kidding of children, the destruction of houses almost every other day. we have been reporting about how an entire family was decimated, mom, indiscriminately, how this doctor and that the engineer and that scientist was bombed along with his

entire family. so in a sense, what happens to add, in terms of his family's tragedy has been the low ink of so many people have suffered in their entire families. but there's something specific about what i mean. i mean, just look at just what happened the last few days last few weeks. so his entire immediate time, most of his invited me that somebody is that his wife, when his daughter died, there were, i think at the time, 6 or 7000 civilians now was sun dies, there are triple the number of civilian deaths in and goes on his colleagues, a number of his colleagues were killed as was his home was destroyed, his university. what he was was destroyed completely. stutnik university was destroyed. there's never.
