4:02 am
and guards as north palestinians, displaced by the fighting, are camping along the main road. they say that humanitarian aid that is reaching them is not even close to enough. the 2nd time we're sitting here in the middle of the will out in the cold. i'm a waiting for a to land on the beach along the our rashid street. we've never had to do this, but i situation to become a lot more difficult as a result of the war and the weakness of some our bridge. unless we had to wait to aid and collect whatever we come to feed children and fill our empty stomachs on the food, the prices have been rising exponentially. and people find themselves in dire straits as a result of the men and guns standing here out in the cold waiting. yeah, that's the biggest use of, i mean i name of all the number of people who are suffering and dying. anita staggering. the aid that into district only covers 10 percent of the needs of those
4:03 am
who a staffing and suffering. all this is the you in humanitarian agency says is real a systematically blocking aid and preventing paramedics from doing their work and gossip. as spokesman said, this is happening despite prior coordination with these really army. the convoys have come on defiant and systematically denied access to people in need to many terry and workers have been harassed, intimidated, or detained by east read the forces and you monitor and infrastructure has been hit at least 576000 people in the gaza strip. that's one quarter of the population. are one step away from famine. that's according to a senior united nations 8 official security council members have been meeting to discuss the fluid scarcity. gabriel elizondo has more on the discussions from the united nations palestinians and guys that continue to suffer with not enough to eat. in many cases, nothing at all. 2 months ago,
4:04 am
the united nations warned that by february, the people of guys a could face imminent risk of famine. on tuesday, the security council was told that is exactly what is happening. and here we are at the end of february, but at least 576000 people in the us. so one quarter of the population, one step away from farming, was one of the 6 children under 2 years of age. and now the drugs are suffering from acute knowledge, isn't the un said they're working to restart delivery to northern gas a, a. this is an absolute humanitarian imperative. the staff on our home was witnessed catastrophic conditions in the north. for the clean water scars malnutrition restoring and the seas is right. probably un is hesitant to explicitly say,
4:05 am
palestinians are dying of hunger. it's becoming increasingly clear that it can not be denied. for witnessing and gaza. right now is the mass killing of children in slow motion. there is almost no food left and nothing is getting to them. and children are being starved while trucks of food are literally sitting just a few miles away, waiting to get in. and we know that this is happening largely because of is really bombardment and restrictions that are preventing the safe delivery of humanitarian aid, including food, a parent, the security council, even the united states, encouraged israel to do more. we urge israel to keep border crossings open for you, man, to turn a to enter gaza, to facilitate the opening of additional crossings to meet you monitor your needs and scale and to support the rapid safe delivery of relief items to vulnerable
4:06 am
people and all the cause of the un continues to say to avoid a famine, there needs to be an immediate cease fire, but the u. s. continues to block any draft resolutions. the call for that the meeting is a joint gabriel's on do. how do you see it? at the united nations in new york. a how much this down play optimism from the us president. but a ceasefire deal with israel is imminent. a senior member of how much his political wing, bathroom name has told up to 0. that how mass has still not received an official proposal for a deal, and mediators are still working on it. he said, for any deal to work from us as conditions must be met, including return to people to their homes. israel's total withdrawal aid access for palestinians and a guaranteed ceasefire. i am also added that how may i ask, who's speaking guarantors such as egypt to cut the key, the un us and russia to ensure any such deal is verifiably upheld by israel. he
4:07 am
says biden's intervention that has been directed at a domestic us audience and cannot conceivably have been intended to place pressure on israel and that's in the out. the us state department however, remains optimistic. a deal can be made. our goal is to achieve a deal to reach a humanitarian pause and the release of hostages as soon as possible. certainly we'd welcome getting one by this weekend. so what i can say about the overall progress is that we made significant progress towards that agreement last week. when we had officials of united states government in gauging in the region, we continue to pursue further progress this week. american officials across the government continue to be engaged on this question. we are trying to push this deal over the finish line. we do think it's possible israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has suggested israel has the backing of the us public to continue its campaign in goss. you could have somebody come on and move your model. how many do
4:08 am
you need since the beginning of the war? i have been leading a political campaign with a therapist, a kid the precious, contingent to in the world before its time. and on the other hand, to gain support for israel triangle we have had significant success in this area. because today, the habit harris poll is published in the united states, which shows that issue to be seen to the american public supports as riley best means for out of 5 citizens in the us support as ryan. this gives us another year of strength to continue the campaign until complete victory. name is robbie. isn't that i'm all love with more on that 10. yeah. whose comments? nothing. yeah. who clearly signaling that as long as he enjoys american public support, as long as israel enjoys support in the us public sphere, he does not have to do what the white house or what president joe biden says with regards to curbing the conflict. we're trying to bring an end to the war and garza, and just on sunday on the us talk shows nothing. yeah. who's also quoted as saying
4:09 am
that deal or no deal and assault on a rough off on the besieged area of rough our so many people are sheltering so many displays palestinians, or sheltering. that will carry on regardless of how the deal does or does not go forward. the all blacks men, as director of the university of california is missouri and center for is real studies. he says the us government is getting frustrated with israel's position. and i think i'm the administrator has point to view the attendance to influence. listen, yahoo! part of the way behind the scenes which has really been going on since the beginning of this war, i have not being entirely successful. i think the administration stand the time. and again, it's request to be is ready to government. what's been up to the pond or they beat out to the phone in the very piece, mail, mama, and then the bible. the ministration starts publicly to lead its frustration,
4:10 am
its noises with mr. young and now in recent weeks present by them during the public records frustrations. i think part of this is, is just the balance on the plus duration that the administrator should bill toward missing yahoo in particular. but it's also, of course we're going to i to the fact that the presidential election is approaching the power is right now. and the president has been taking a lot of criticism from the left wing of his party and upsets and groups among the democratic base to distance himself. permission, yahoo run from is rosabelle and all that kind of war and gaza is overshadowing presidential primaries in the us. we're both democrats and republicans are voting in the state of michigan. president joe biden narrowly won the key battleground state in the 2020 election. but now face as an opposition over his continued support for israel's war on gaza. so let's here, let's hear from voters in dearborn about why some cast and uncommitted book. i
4:11 am
wrote it down to miss because i state prison finding is not doing the right thing for the, for the house teen our students to hire somebody police. absolutely. if it's a piece of both nations, i think that anybody from a different going to democratic well, so and uh, well, i'm committed just so it's multicultural, racial, it's a social issue with this community. the, the, the, the leading issue is the situation in the middle east and it's very well known that we support a ceasefire and we'd like our residents. so listen, the politicians in the united states to listen fulls of clothes in most counties. now. so let's go to john. henry new joins us live from the city of deer, born in michigan, a john, you've been speaking to voters there the past several hours. how is this so called uncommitted campaign doing as well as
4:12 am
the right way to ask the question, because there really is no doubt as to who the winners are and the democratic and republican primaries. probably, joe biden has very little opposition. donald trump and les nikki haley pulls out a surprise, but all the attention is on this campaign. you're asking about the uncommitted campaign. and this is really the epicenter because this is a very large error of american community. in dearborn, i majority air of american community and i can tell you how many people we talk to coming out of a polling place here. who said they were voting uncommitted, it was the vast, vast majority of the voters we spoke to with just about 4 percent of the vote. and we're looking at 8.8 percent voting uncommitted. and the group that is sponsoring is event. listen to michigan. this is at the election watch party that we're at right now. they say that they expect to at least elect one delegate to the
4:13 am
democratic national convention. why is that important? because that means that they'll have someone in there who can raise the issue of gaza and the cease fire whether or not the war is still ongoing, then there will be other issues there. there are many people here who tell me they're dissatisfied with joe biden, involved vote for him in november, even if he changes his position on guys it in does advocate for a ceasefire. so this campaign, it seems to be getting a significant amount of support will know within a matter of hours whether that is in the 10s of thousands enough to really generate the kind of attention that might reach the white house. and john, looking ahead just a bit, what are your think all this means for the general election come november? well it's interesting because the target they initially set here for the uncommitted goes was just 10000 votes, which is the typical amount of votes that you would get for uncommitted. and the
4:14 am
reason for that is that in a wind, donald trump's last one he won by 10000 votes. joe biden won by a 150000 votes. well, there are about 300000 arab and muslim americans here in the state of michigan. that's twice the amount that the biden won by and he's got other problem. so what does this mean? it means a major swing state could be lost by the democrats and it's the one that they're counting on in order for vitamin to retain the white hands. so this group alone might be able to make that difference. and today what they're saying is right now, you don't have our support. all right, john, thanks for breaking that all down for us as i'll just here is john henry and live in dearborn michigan. what is the ad is the ceo of engage a muslim advocacy group. he says i'm committed, voters are sending a message to president by well, there is a lot of anger and disappointment and pain, which is the whole point behind this campaign. we're just sending a signal of those set them as to the white house to the democratic party. many of
4:15 am
those voters voted for the democratic ticket and for then candidate binding. and they are trying to get their voices heard in his clear way as possible. i know that the listen to michigan campaign of which my organization engage is this order of has made over a 100000 calls. there's been many doors have been knocked on. i believe our team alone has not on 10000 doors. hundreds of 1000 just text messages have gone out. there's been a lot of energy behind it. we know that in previous cycles, the numbers have been around 20000 of those who voted uncommitted in the democratic primaries. and our hope is that we will surpass those numbers and we need an immediate cease fire. we need to rebuild it as a we need to restore fund, read for on whether you an agency forecasting and refugees that we really need to need to address the root causes of all of this, which is really occupation of the past tense. and what we hear is, sympathy is nodding of heads, folks and you know,
4:16 am
we agreed is really they have killed too many palestinians were telling them not to do that, but the end of the day actions are louder than words. what we need is a change in policy, a change of policy that at this blood show and supports the liberation of the costing you people once and for all. still ahead on al jazeera, searching for a way forward, some of sending goals leaders meet in the car to discuss a presidential election. but not all of them are there the the, the weather brought to you by visit castle high. we have a massive temperature contrast in the weather across north america. once again, we've got some winfrey weather up towards the northwest board. we've got some very hot weather down across the central most pond. so choose that we. so temperature is
