8:31 pm
a bottle of the united nations is morning that hundreds of thousands of people in gaza out on the brink of salvation. acute levels of hunger are facing around 2000000 policy is often many of them lost their homes and livelihoods best, but people unable to feed themselves all that children are living in family life conditions, some resulting to eat. think animal feed and weeds to survive is a strong legal food medicine and all the humanitarian supplies being used as a weapon for by these, by the government. we've been discussing all this and will with all gas shortly. my 1st money having, what's a force on the wife was suffering with no end in sight surrounded by the ruins of what used to be they homes on the middle is among the estimate to 300000 palestinians who stayed in the isolated area of north and gaza, for people they have not been receiving deliveries of food because international 8 trucks are being denied access to the areas in need. some residents enjoy body se
8:32 pm
they have face per long periods without food or access to water. to survive, they've resulted to pick and weeds to cook for the children and turning animal feet into flour. from home was the old phone. as you can see, all conditions of difficult about everything that's close to and there is danger all around us when collecting weeds. but we have no other choice but to ensure that the true to receive food in any way possible. so they don't have to enjoy hung up the way they come to the smell to grand body and cooling a lot. everything that can be drummed even on the most. that'd be a full state. everything because of hung up just out of control. all of the countries of the world does a good entry fee to people who have no health problems. as you can see, the name of for the an estimated 580000 pedestal indians and gaza are facing catastrophic levels of hunger. the world food program is wanting that there's
8:33 pm
a cute shortages in northern garza. but unless we get significant volumes on a regular basis to people in the most food and secure areas of garza, that we would have famine conditions in place by may or june of this year. we are not getting significant amounts of aid and we are not doing it every day as we need to do. since the start of israel's will, convoys of humanitarian aid has been delayed tonight, permits and sometimes attacked is very useful. just screen everything and sees items useful to have much more recent tea. a group of these riley protest is demanding the release of capt to say to bob t y a at the cam shuttle and border crossing to stop trucks entering casa. i cannot understand why a country at war is bringing humanitarian aid into it's at over. and i mean lines and fueling the war. every truck, the cruising is another day of war. for both sides. the ease of employment of
8:34 pm
southern gaza is supposed to be more than $2000000.00 displays. people to hit back most in search of shelter, pressuring many into making a choice of potentially dying from honda in the north. well being killed by it's really bumping into some might not have them with it. the ultra 0 inside story. and even most sent us this report from rough uh, web money policy is a struggling to secure foot. since the beginning of this genocidal war on gauze and living conditions have become increasingly difficult for people here over crowded rough, where there is a real, a struggle for food and water and almost a famine. taking place in the northern part of garza, this is the daily normal defined by displaced in terror and hunger. where the vast majority of this place family is forced out of their homes or from the north and more recently from the central area and the city of han,
8:35 pm
you and as are now hungry with little financial capabilities. as depletion of basic necessities and food supplies. and ongoing a blockade on humanitarian aids causing a prices to double and triple for some goods. the unusual seen of people, the queueing and line in line for a ball of su, uh, it just become uh or has become the major feature of people living in dropbox. if the since the beginning of the war, honey, my more for the inside is story, is eda and southern gauze. the the, let's bring it all guess you know has to do in london. what i've done now is the dresser, can you all just who could found the doctor's health? good cold health? well, because of palestine from alpha in does a see that on is
8:36 pm
a fluid secuity and livelihood coordinate to an ox from also a london to an a tell a lot of a senior classes to respond to advise the ultimate as the international. welcome to the program. they just talked with the, the, you are the in the off the where people are struggling on a daily basis to secure food for themselves for their loved ones. well, that children to give us a sense of what is happening, but typically in the central and northern parts of goza. why many say that's why we have the biggest humanitarian crisis actually, um, as you said, it's not only about 3 or 5, it's only to scale the strip. you have the whole population of over 2000000 people at admin and 3 as of 7. uh, the numbers say that more than 370 uh, thousands of these people are to be a huge risk, immediate risk of discharge ation with exhaustive where they have exhausted the
8:37 pm
coping mechanisms also. so they are about to die from hunger. this is how it looks like and goals a know more specifically in the north and the center of parts of goza with a, a huge no axis of food aids or any food items uh, to that pseudo. as far as people are suffering you, i'm looking for extension goods for any kind of food commodities, with no luck to find them at all. uh, heat in the roof and the situation is worsening as well. with the cost of the entering of the a, the trucks and the discard safety of the food that covered this is discharge with before, all of this is going to started doing a ton of what, what is the biggest obstacle to the steady flow of a into a gaza, is it logistical? is it a long secure to is creating all the material? what is it simply a politically motivated thing?
8:38 pm
it is beyond doubt that and there is a lack of political will. obviously from these radio authorities, they are the occupying power and they are the ones who control access to the guys this trip. and they are the ones that have been restricting the entry of both to many, terry and aid and commercial imports. not just from the 7 of october, but for the past 16 years. that is in itself a breach of international. and you many, terry, i'm know israel has not been complying with. it's somebody gay sion just to be very, very clear. the reason me for you money, terry, and aging, does that use because as well as the occupying power has not been fulfilling the obligation, it's not the duty of the international community to provide food, water, medical care education on the population under occupation needs. that is the beauty
8:39 pm
and the obligation of the occupying power. no, totally. isabel has not been doing that, but he dies called us them for me and restricted the entry of you may tell you in a don't imports of med defense of absolutely everything. the dist, civilian population requires and before you know, the essential needs of daily life. now, since the 7th of october, that level of restriction as increased exponentially. and in addition, the whole sale disruption, including the deliberate destructions of road at once on destruction. not required by military necessity. that's kind of destruction is also creating a logistical problem because especially now the people are escaping a rough and moving towards the middle. they are you guys hoping to find safety even
8:40 pm
though you that's obviously not, not going, you know that that's not possible at the moment. but that means the people are going to in the area where there is nothing. and we are getting the aid from the southern border of guns up to does that rate is going to be even more difficult because of the state of the roads as a result of these rated military operation. okay. oh okay, but i'm not. if you, you must be in touch with the medics on the ground. holla, children coping with this horrible situation on folding and gaza. i think it has some i think that reality is that no one is coping with the situation and it does because as we have seen time and time again, these ready occupation forces the time into bowman target hospitals and health care facilities. what that means is the acute starvation that many of these children are being exposed to and let us not forget, there are cases of my resume,
8:41 pm
st. quashel cold coming into hospitals, images, which is the uh, immediate effects of acute non nutrition. things that we saw in some on the land or somebody in the ninety's, but we are now seeing because in 2024 on top of that you have talked with him and health care facilities, a streams, these same children that are stopping and or, you know, at risk of long term negative health sec really are not able to gain access to care, to read nutrition, to the right. um, you know, treatment for that. and you know, in early yesterday i was talking to colleagues within the last sort of medical hospital complex. and we saw children being shot tests killed by snipers inside the hospitals from is there any drawings and quite dropped as with machine guns on them? mm hm. so, you know, the reality is it's all well and good talking about the bound nutrition and lack of age. but the real root cause is currently that there is an ongoing bombing
8:42 pm
bombardment continue attacks on hospital destroying, investigating any sort of health care facility that could actually salvage some of these children. and this is a 100 percent mind made. this is created by these various states by these ready occupation forces. and these being compounded by the junction is not allowing 8 and as well and closing up the boat. is that rough off? we have to remember that this is multi problem. there are numerous agents that play here and whilst these right, these are the types of traits as they are being done by the u. k. the us and some of the are punches, unfortunately, me say that if you were to give us a list of the top priorities for the people, does that in terms of humanitarian aid, what would be the main materials that you would like to see coming to guys a now actually it's, it's a package of pre order to, let's say, because after all of this time of stopping old kinds of a, to enter,
8:43 pm
then the priorities are accumulating if you want. but the 1st and foremost reality is food. people needs to eat. people need to drink, people need to eat something, be on the account, food that's trickling in through the age of trust. people need fresh vegetables, fresh fruits exposed 3 things as having nutrition in the if nutrition value to it, not just to stay their hunger so that the quality of the food to enter goals or is it an essential, of course, the priority is of more and more and more quantities of food to enter and goes up because it's the need is a huge that is, is on met for people on the verge of starvation of assignments. so it's very essential and how much food enters nothing on the walk food. the dad does enter, plus there is a need for a clean drinking water for our medication if you want,
8:44 pm
because of the utilization and it broke limits caused by the lack of food we face so many z z is too many. any complications that need treatment as when they will not be treated by food entry is alone. so this is combined with the fuel be cooking gaz equipment to be used also to cook the quote because when you look on the ground, you don't find anything you do like there is no set up or there is a very we are reduced to a very primitive set up of making food actually. so it's not enough to get the materials or the ingredients to make a me and it's important to provide everything that you need to make an actual means and put it in front of a family or a starving kids. don't a ton of human rights groups have been accusing use right of using starvation as a method of war. what can be done now in terms of international humanitarian
8:45 pm
low to stop this practice from continuing for the upcoming days and weeks? you know, and i mean, the legal tools are, there is result, negation are absolutely clear what is required, this political will at the level of the international community. first of all, for the, for this countries and, and united states is obviously the key one. but there are, there's 2 that are providing west ponds to israel and that will allow the continuous compartment of civilians and civilian infrastructures, the restaurants that are still willing to come today. so, you know, does westlan imports shouldn't be stopped at once? because there is also evidence that there be used in a bind their death contributions, international humanitarian law. secondly, again, the, those that are, that are the influence on a, on these mainly authorities,
8:46 pm
me to put pressure to force is ready to comply with a totally ation to allow both to many, terry and age and import into gas to stop targeting what's production and the places such as are fields where food is being grown factories where food is being processed. the bakeries all the civilian infrastructure did us being at target from day one from the 7th of october. but also from long before the population of guys was already in a, in a very, very dias you many trillion situation before the 7th of october. and so the rate that which the situation as victoria rated is all the greater and the res only uh, one thing and you know there is only really one side that can change this equation . and daddy's support is well to be forced to comply with his supplication. by its
8:47 pm
international allies that are providing it with and it cannot make military and political support. because clearly these radios already piece have shown that they are not complying with international law. and they are violating international law on a daily basis. and with us, all of the children month attrition, we're talking about more than a 1000000 people are stuck with trend in the southern part of the of rafael, living in at tons with the rest of moore. this is printing. do you have any concerns of it? there's no intervention in the upcoming days. the situation could just further degenerate and become an spin out of control to have so many. like i said, we are seeing already the tooth effects of mt. nutrition of children having to eat animal feed in the north and middle of cause a this is, you know, these are the pro war conditions,
8:48 pm
but they have been increased by these are the states. now the other thing to note, and this is a really important point, people do not die from starvation in send the people when they are stopped and stressed at long periods of time, especially children under the age of 2. they end up having incentives to be gimme a compromise, their mean system is compromised. they are much greater risk of dying from dial illnesses like color, which for sure is spreading in gaza even if we cannot test for it. they die from hepatitis. they die from pneumonia, just infections as simple illnesses that should be preventive. one should not lead to death become the least so in these conditions. so the excess mortality rates, which i suspects will number in the hundreds of 5 minutes when the dust settles. if the dust settles, then i think this is where my great my grave is concerned as a pediatrician is and also it's important center. any child who, under the age of 2 goes through this period of acute non nutrition, whether it's a fetus or is a child,
8:49 pm
they are essentially limited in terms of the long term health outcomes. these children will have loss thing, final impacts on the cardiovascular health. on the risk of cancer on their risk of, you know, their ability to grove. this is a last generation of when the children with no surviving family and children that have instances have been found nutrition that'd been cognitively destroyed. essentially by these ready won't machine to say that the 8 agencies are basically saying that there's been no trucks into guys a, a full of for about a week. and that even during the, the did with, with how my son is right. and 9 to 5 trust what allowed when in normal times, particularly before the war is 500 commercial and a trucks were allowed into this trip to deal with the needs of the people give us a sense of what all the local and international agencies doing. now,
8:50 pm
when basically they have nothing to offer to the hundreds of thousands of people a so desperate and anxious about what happens tomorrow actually. um, what we are trying to do as humanitarian workers is of, is limited because all of our middle east is coming from outside of gals. all what we're trying to do is to get basically, the most important thing for us is to try to get what we have in the direction side into goals are to be able to organize distributions to be able to be able to serve the people that we work with that, as you said, our districts for support and for has what we are trying to do collectively is try to coordinate whatever of small means. uh, we have from a previous uh, 8 entries into gaza on that to be able to reach as much as possible. but i
8:51 pm
can, frankly tell you it's no weird went nowhere near enough. we needs and essentially it was the solution. if you ones for all of this, uh, there is a huge need uh for immediate release of the stuff into the agents in border. and before the most important, more important on that there is a use be to cease fires to so all of that. so that we can read people that we are unable to reach whether they are the dose of dogs on the goals or in the border areas. there is a need also to be able to mobilize the know can market or the know can production of fluids because that's also as a resource that cuz that's completely up since day one of the wars farmers aren't able to reach the land aren't able to talk to base, there's no enough water, there is no fuel to um, to operate the bones um the equipment they need for the agriculture. so all of the
8:52 pm
loop and food production is all most reduced to 0. so here is that need to support that. and of course, we are trying to raise our voices, we are trying to collectively attend the stories of the starving people. it's not a completely humanitarian, the story. it's a humanity of a big god or um, war that's raising against people of god. what people are being killed by so many means one of which is this survey shows no fee, but it's use it is it's, it's been used as a we've been award since the start and it's only continuous. so doing a ton of these, riley, a government has a unit, the co got to which the, as with the united nations, when, when it comes to the aid. and they say that basically they're not blocking aid, but they're making sure that the 8 is not going to end up being in the hands of us . how much. and they also would like to ensure that the doing usage material does
8:53 pm
not enter into a ghost of can you believe it all generates as crutches? the hospital kits i can said that do will use its material. is this a gas the low and the prevention of entry into d, occupied territory by deal to buying power or the means for essential requirements for the civilian population. that is a breach of international humanitarian? no, it's a war crime. as i said, it's not strongly since the 7th of october. these restrictions are being posed. they have been in post continuously for the past 16 years been generally being increased at times when the violence and the confrontation us as a as increased. but does restrictions unwarranted. have been in place for 16 years and that's why gaza was already in
8:54 pm
a corner situation. when the 7th of october, the situation changed with increased restrictions and so called god knows perfectly well what it should and, and should not be doing. and the request have been ongoing and that she didn't need jones about the terrible consequences for disability and populations are extremely clear. so what her medicines, food cannot be considered something that is the you know, the come be would withheld from the civilian population. and isabel has the possibility to check everything that goes into gaza and it is what it has been doing. it's looking at these just not allowing what is required is completely
8:55 pm
unacceptable. i have many other issues to discuss with you. so i appreciate if can give you some shots and says all my health system has been completely decimated when united nations and international agencies. last thing we need urgent action to deal with the health system. what do they mean by that of what they should be? meaning is that there needs to be a safe finding, media and pregnancies by mouth out loud hospitals. and so it has to be rebuilt supplies to go back and medical personnel to come in and help the exhaust of medic . so that being target says $400.00 of which up in whom have been killed and a 100 us that in an ego detention had been tortured when they've been detained, as, as you must be aware. so what they mean is that we needs supplies, we need an end to violence, which is preventing the supplies for making it in, i think building on a tennis point, it is crucial that to understand that the us and
8:56 pm
u. k. are literally sending those homes that are bullying the hospitals, so they are complicit in this genocide of use of war crimes. and the complicity will come back to what i'm doing. i'll tell her what the future of the under one on certain what kind of impact if it shuts doors in the future. what kind of impacts we've that have on the humanitarian aid operations and gaza as well. any withdrawal of services and health and human to carry an age education to what is actually the majority of the population in the guys was to me, would have absolutely disastrous consequences. again, i go back to the point that out to monthly and as well as the occupying power is legally required to provide all of the services as well as not being doing so, the international community mostly thrown around, but also through international aid organization has been doing that preventing
8:57 pm
preventing that from from continue drop without absolutely disastrous consequences . and on the, on the population, adults and children, especially because as the point was made to ready that children are being impacted . most of need the future is being destroyed. the equivalent of 10 children to k, i've lost the name about $1000.00 children and i've lost them since the beginning of the front of these classes. so you can imagine, you know, what the, what the requirements are. of course you would have to leave of that and that's a lot of that all my i've been met none and see that honestly, i really appreciate your time and the insight. thank you and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again at a time by visiting our website. i went to 0 dot com for further discussion. go to our facebook page, that's facebook dot com, forward slash a inside store. you can also join the conversation on x, i'll hand it is at
8:58 pm
a jake inside. so for me, how should i, how about, and the entire team here in doha? if a child does not die from the bombing, he will die from the cold. no clothes, no food, nothing. no diapers were 5 and children in attends of one square metre towards continue without having a hostages right now spends with the governments of the country for texas on october 7th. this government failed miserably and federal tax upfront takes on the biggest cities of context to what is happening now. it is
8:59 pm
a complex 3 question, question of 5 upfront on how to 0. this magical facility in on demand incidents, coughing so hard to them is a single room, but provide health care for dozens of people every day. and it's run entirely by volunteers. for dance health sector is needed destroyed after 9 months of conflict between the army and the parent minutes for your rapid support forces. d u. n says 70 percent of hospitals around the country aren't functioning. i study business administration but came here because most medics have left the capital. i take care of distributing the medicines. we have 570 patients who come to get medication for chronic illnesses. minor emergency operations are sometimes performed here as well . and the center also receives patients with gunshot wounds, or shrapnel from an artillery strike, serving as a lifeline to many invest fixing volunteers and say they'll continue to do what
9:00 pm
they can to help those left to believable by the conflict. the the hello there. i'm just ozzy attain this isn't use our line from the coming up in the next 16 minutes. forced famine in gaza. how israel is using deliberate starvation as a weapon of war against palestinian civilians. the tale and panic and golf is the largest functioning hospital officer is waiting for cisco in the facility district housman.
