1:03 pm
a lot of it has seen it are really no words to describe. the situation reminds us of the dock scenes from the baptist hospital 4 months ago with 500 people were killed in one is really extra. since the early hours of the morning, the hospital has been flooded with thousands of dead bodies and hundreds of injured . the majority of the victims suffered gunshot wounds and trap though in the head an upper parts of the bodies. they were hit by direct artillery. shelly droned missiles and gun the fire. ola opperation rooms are full and full medical stuff has been deployed. above all, we ran out of medical supplies and fuel necessary to operate the hospital. we hope we will be able to provide any live saving procedures to those victims. will. victims are in critical condition then lying on the floor. we stand helpless. i'm in the shop, a shortage of supplies and stuff. well, how many my food joins me now on the phone from rafa in southern gaza and honey flaps. we could begin with you simply updating us on the very latest that you are
1:04 pm
hearing about these events in kansas city. yes, we're looking at very tragic seeing right now. we're at close to 77 people being killed as they were gathering and waiting for food, a truck to be delivered to the northern part of the number of injury that had close to 3 hundreds right now, and they're still there cards pulled by animals, their cars in other trucks are carrying injury this from the seeing what happened unfortunately, and this is the tragedy. what's going on? not only people have been phased with this acute famine in the northern part and ga, the city and enjoyed the very intense bombing campaign. but right now, food delivery and food aid trucks delivery turned into an ambush to 4 civilians to be targeted and killed. and this is not the 1st time it's happening.
1:05 pm
it is the worst. in fact, in the past that happened couple times in different locations in ga, the stay in the northern part, but not at this level of polity. where people literally can did that, that midnight, and the cold and the despite the, the presence of a danger zone meant an imminent danger because they're hungry. and because the one who survived the difficult conditions do waited until the air, the hours this morning when the trucks were arriving. as soon as the approach the, the truck has buyers were open and then they were shut out by attacking drones by a tank show that the kind of injuries that are arriving to ship a hospital according to its doctors were receiving and working on the medical intervention and it just kind of things the hosp, the hospital right now, she the hospital is unable to do even necessary medical intervention to save life.
1:06 pm
you can think that there are no medical supplies or no insufficient medical staff numbers of elbow right now that makes it very difficult for them to steve live, let alone it help injury is intended to arrive due to the hospital. unfortunately, this theme is being a repeated l squared, right? and how, where we see not only here over crowded, but there's always a depletion of the basic resources and essential life. and then there is a trick of amount of, of aided trucks being deliver. and unfortunately the, the, the atmosphere right now is if people are not dying from unpredictable pulling bonds, b are definitely dying of hunger. and it's part of ation. honey, you talked about the difficulties faced by hospitals. there, there are an awful lot of people in need of medical attention as the, as
1:07 pm
a result of this attack, we're talking about 200 or more injured. what options are open to them if the hospitals are not able to receive them unable to provide proper care? well unfortunately, right now what's going to do happened to the injury is val, arriving to hospital, particularly in the northern part would be extreme shortage. and almost no medical supplies been delivered to any of the health other kids in the northern part of the, in gaza city. it's more like a death sentence for those injuries. they stay in the hospital and wait for the necessary medical supplies to wait for the doctors or the nurses to intervene to help them out. but unfortunately, the waiting time is long getting. by the time a doctor or a nurse have the time to look after them, they already did that. it happened. there's too many documented cases in come out
1:08 pm
load one hospital in the indonesian hospital that are more recently in the sheets hospital where doctors could not look after every one arriving to the hospital to that's why we're the we're saying the number is expected to go higher and in fact, within the past hour, the number has increase rapidly over into from 50 and to 70 or right now 77. and there are expectations that we're going to hit the 100 fairly soon. honey, my mood many. thanks for that in rough. uh and i'm sure we'd be speaking to you in due course for more and let's cross now to about 0. correspond is a smile, a girl who's in garza city and has more which i'm not sure about the b. as we speak, hundreds of gaza civilians are still trying to recover the dead bodies of the relatives who are trying to get their hands on. the aid being delivered at the same time, the el cheapo hospital is no longer able to cope with the large number of victims.
1:09 pm
many of those victims were transferred to come all at one hospital in the north of the gaza strip. the number of dead will no doubt rise, as other victims rushed to. i'll she find ella, the end of georgie and hospitals, ambulance vehicles cannot reach the area as the roads are totally destroyed as the is really forces open. fire on the 8 seekers is really tanks advanced and ran over many of the dead bodies and injured all the victims rushed to hospital were carried by the hands of the relatives on seeing hospitals are no longer able to accommodate those huge numbers. in the absence of fuel, let alone medicine, hospitals also ran out of blood. it's nothing short of a massacre. adding to this is the starvation of civilians all across casa. it's a compounded war crime by the is really forces, or let's brain testing them. now, she's a unicef spokes person joining us from, i'm on a test. let me ask you, 1st of all, as you survey these events from way you say to now i'm on in the region. how are
1:10 pm
you comprehending what is going on the receipt saying these are coming in and they are beyond anyone's work. when it's on the sky, all of the horrors, the bullying, the people of health science continue to listen and, and this is why we overlap less. we might have a safe spot because the even distributed nature of so many of the taxi godrays why we have such a large number of civilians in children and families. big huge of the aid situation already extremely difficult in gaza. this presumably one symptom of that, a pretty gruesome symptom of that, but there are difficulties across the strip. what is your experience of all the difficulties getting a to people the needs that you know exist. we've had tremendous
1:11 pm
difficulty getting bags of april, but we also assisting just bought those challenges, but you know, we know where it's discussing the situation and the not kia, where people have had such limited access to including food. and we, as you said last week, that only 16 percent of the children on the treatment that we survey are too large percentage. so the population, the, in the northern does the script. and so from what was said in your report, that the people we've been left without food in the simple active trying to get the basics that they need. so for the children to something that like these for that to happen is, is just a polling. it's, it's a corner starting image that should be monitoring more like impulse be able to receive by size. and we've reached a point where the restrictions on preventing that. so we need those restrictions to
1:12 pm
be listed when the, i guess we need people to be able to access it safely, is someone who are un paid agency unicef. clearly with access to these riley government, you've presumably put you into monster, these ready government insisting that those restrictions are listed. what responsive you have. this is the response. this is evidenced by the facts that we haven't managed to get it into the guy who to the guy was the street. yeah, he's here. we'd like to try again this week, but it's really incredibly difficult. so we need those restrictions to be listed and we need the safety assurances for our stuff to be guaranteed. tests we hear about children dying of malnutrition. we hear words like famine being used with increasing frequency. we hear the expression starvation as a weapon of war. oh, what would you,
1:13 pm
would you level that accusation of these riley's that they all using starvation is a weapon of war that they are deliberately restricting the supply of a the assessment that needs to be made by people other than me. but what i can say that these crap is, is having a catastrophic impact on children. and that certainly is one of the basic essentials that children needs to survive. and that many children in the know who haven't been able to get. so human insights and terry and i didn't like us must be able to do our job. it's so important that we said that the strip is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a child. if we don't say that lightly, it's because of certain sounds like this. it must be extraordinarily frustrating for someone in your position and indeed all who work in the community to be reduced . now, to making comments essentially from outside of the strip outside of the country, even about
1:14 pm
a situation over which you are essentially powerless. and it's incredibly frustrating. i was in the gaza strip last month and i met with family suites only about their experiences. and every single person that i met had a child of absolutely for us to, to now be outside, knowing that it is continuing to call and that the situation get every single day is really almost impossible to bed. so, you know, we need a safe spot as soon as possible, so the move humanitarian and i mean people like me to return and we can do our job and help the people of kaiser and provide them with some response to okay, testing them. i thank you for your time and your thoughts, the unicef spokesperson joining us from mom and to illustrate perhaps some of what test has had to say that we hear now from a parent medic in gaza. city who describes the situation as it was as he rushed the engine to come out at one house. well, so what i did really slow by them was when we received an emergency called at el
1:15 pm
cheapo hospital is no longer able to cope with a massive number of victim. we rushed with the only 3 ambulance vehicles we have running as we are out of fuel. we found dozens of dead bodies lying on the way. the 3 ambulance vehicles were not enough to carry the dead and the injured and we decided to start with the injured 1st for more than 4 hours now we have been transporting victims to hospitals and that the more than 200 injured were taken to hospitals. totally by ambulance but also by donkey carts and private cars and the way to return to recover the dead bodies. and as of now, there are 30 dead bodies that have been recovered. but this is genocide against our people. those are innocent civilians waiting for days for the trucks, caring relief, a it is a war crime and i wanted to bring it in now are senior political out of this now my one be sure to on pack some of this a little further. my one, they've been many, many green days in this was until october the 7th, but they certainly will rank among them more than 70 people killed. whilst
1:16 pm
scrambling for aid, which they appear to be systematically denied by these railings. i mean, just broadly kickoff with your, your thoughts, your assessment on, on this event. just beginning with what you just mentioned. this is almost a combination of 5 months of more of the same time. it's the culmination of a number of policies, a number of war primes that basically come up to a genocide, right? i'm driving in phase site. this is one genocide that comes to live on television, right. i remember in the beginning of the war on gaza, we were preoccupied with the bottoms of hospitals. it was set on the award and hospitals then awards, combs, and then award on civilians residential buildings and then became
1:17 pm
a campaign of ethnic cleansing. and then when we started counting the numbers, it was clear that this was a warrant. children besides con thing that you're going to buy the 1000 something they climbed above 10015000. and now today we've reached associates, 1000 killed in guys, the casualties over 100000. now we're talking about us for non medical segers, and this just continues to, can you call him anything in the like all this, like going ulta, people, as you said, they are scrambling for food. so not only this is death by starvation. this is also best by bombing this, by this console on stores by them. it is really many 30, i mean what, what is the calculation here? because, you know, again, we've been talking for a month and we,
1:18 pm
we've been listening for months to his reading. the justifications of a number of attacks and the justification tends to be something along the lines of how much using civilians as a human shield, sheltering behind them. there's no one sheltering behind these people running across the sand. 4 bags of flour. what is the calculation to carry out an attack like this is it is so obvious not cloaked in any sort of military strategy. what sort of, what, what do you mind spelling it is? it is flag grants in that way? you know, i don't know, we use a certain concepts here in our view. is that on the was we've been following this tragedy. i probably think or recognize that we use the interchangeably, but they are quite different. they are different faces to the same catastrophe. that's and ruffling and guys. so when we say war crimes,
1:19 pm
we are talking about for example, the bombings of hospitals. right. where and now with every possible investigation that we've seen, that's not doctor. that just wants to just point me to the hospital. she's all right. and then we talked about ethnic cleansing, driving people out displaced much of people, almost 2000000 people, the out of 2300000 people dislikes. and then you start to also booking, when we added up everything together. but there is no pulse of what as the i c j, i would say genesis and why do we say genocide? because clearly there is an exist done show we are going on. no, no, some kind of, uh uh you know, more the dispute or dispute between 2 people and this is and is really war against guys. i guess the people guys trying basically to drive, you're not good for them as many people as possible. this is joe. so it's existing
1:20 pm
joe, meaning it's a 0 sum game between his 80 presidents and 1st name. and today's incident, i would, i would, i would frame it as state sponsor better. why do i quoted the state sponsor because clearly it's meant to punish the civilian population. make this of any and speed as high a price as possible in order to get the political administrator leaders to make concessions. so this is violence against civilians in order to extract concessions from the lapse of have us and others in palestine and in the region. so that is where it can capitalize on its war, on its work right on it stutter for political bands and presumably, no co incidents in the time. and we'll talk about this in a minute. is that apparently fine, most of the stage negotiations are ongoing at the same time to the sci fi let's, let's come back to that in
1:21 pm
a moment and get some palestinian political reaction. now the palestinian ministry of foreign affairs has condemned the attack, cooling it, a heinous massacre. it says these ro forces is ready, forces killed thousands of palestinians in cold blood. as they waited for humanitarian administrators cooled in the international community to intervene urgently for a cease fire. and we talked, designed by throbbing in ramallah and the outside west bank about that strong woods from the palestinian. also a t z, a not instantly clear what results they are likely to see well, in terms of what the posting authorities here is able to do with the results so far have not been really very effective. it is not a body with its own military. it is not a body with necessarily as much autonomy as you might think it might enjoy. this is a government that exists within a military rule within a framework here, and the that is overseen by israel. so they are limited in what they can do and
1:22 pm
that is just a real that's the best of ground reality. but they have set in the statement that they asked the international community as you said, to intervene urgently as the only way to protect civilians. and that is something that is important because in a week will be 5 months into this war in gaza. and with palestinians keep asking is when will enough be enough? that is something we keep hearing from everyone we speak to across the occupied westbank. how many more lives of innocent civilians of men, women, and children, as we have seen from the images of today, piled up on the backs of more east men to carry shipping containers, men with head wounds, women with serious abdominal injuries, the death of meet it out very violently, those that are injured, being taken on donkey carts and on people's backs to the closest place to where they can get paid over whelmed hospitals. hosting is keep asking when will enough be enough? how many more unprovoked deliberate attacks, specifically, clearly targeting civilians will as well have to carry out before the world takes
1:23 pm
notice. now one thing we have to look at is exactly who was standing in this line. these were people at risk of famine medical standards applied to those living and gaza right now. say that according to you wants to test x 576000 people in gaza, one quarter of the population, one step away from the famine. practically all of the 2300000 people rely on food aid, which is simply not enough. there's not enough trucks coming in the matter. how many air drops jordan and egypt carry out. it is still not enough for the scale of the problem and gaza. and again, the images are horrifying. my mind goes back to something we covered in ukraine. if you'll remember, there was an attack that, that it's cruelty was, was seen, is somewhat heightened because it was on a bred line. 9 people were killed and that russian attack, there were investigations carried out for days and weeks as to what kind of an munition was use and exactly where it was fired from the scale of that. if, if the standards are applied the same as they are to ukraine posting and say that the war in palestine would be over by now. but they say that the world of high
1:24 pm
standards, differently to a war in europe versus what is happening to them at the hands of these really occupation here in the pulsing and territory is now is i the, you know, you talked about other crises. this was attempt ation it the major significant movements like us to talk about tipping points talk about turning points. what is the mood on the palestinian street if you will in the occupied west bank? and how is news like this likely to be received this? well, there is certainly anger and people in the occupied westbank are also suffering from consistent, ongoing, intensified raids and violence by the israeli military here. but we are seeing just a little while ago, a protest emerging. there's a few dozen people beginning to march and run the layout possibly to responding to something that home us put out in the last hour a call on social media platforms for people across the occupied west bank as well as arabic countries and, and with some countries to come out in person, there, governments to take a decision to try to bring an end to the ongoing quote,
1:25 pm
genocide that is happening now. i must also put out a statement saying that negotiations are not an open process at the expense of the blood of our people, and the enemy bears consequences of its failures as long as it persists in crimes. the statement is significant now because talks are ongoing with negotiating countries like egypt and cuts are for the release of is really detainees and how much custody and gaza. i'm austin for the 2 political groups are meeting in moscow to try to charge the course for the future. governance of posting and peoples and communities in a to a known timeframe after the war and gaza is over. so this will no doubt have an impact on how rigid from us may be going forward. we've also heard from the ministry of health and gaza saying that his care that is really scared of 9 massacres in the gaza strip in the last 24 hours. this obviously being the worst one, but this is a reminder, even when the death toll doesn't reach the critical mass of double digits, even when it doesn't appear publicly or in the news, that there is a mass casualty event happening where we are out in the world right now is that not
1:26 pm
a day goes by and gaza when a palestinian isn't somehow the victim of it is really bullet or ball? okay, same bus around me from romano there. thanks a and let's move over now 2 bodies. truce them to the box, joins us the unveiling mind the stand. you've got some sort of reaction from these really minute trip to and i've been calling and texting messaging at different people inside is ready. minutes. are you over the last couple of us a send steve, you any response i'm getting this is a very brief onto your question. is they all still checking that still looking into the incident, that doesn't seem to be a more formal response. so not right now. meanwhile, also some response from home us yeah, we've had some details from the goals and ministry of health best spoke 1st, the national health career, the talking about the fact that that was 70 did we think that numbers now slightly
1:27 pm
fired 280 people injured some of those very serious injuries arriving at all c for medical complex could see a higher death toll. they're predicting the medical teams that unable to deal with some of the volumes and the types of ease, injuries, because of the lack of medical and staffing capabilities. the that calling on the assessment is stopped. well, they called a genocidal wage by these radio patients and the cooling on the inside. the community also crucially hedge to provide safety mats are in cordele that will allow medical and humanitarian aid, as well as few to reach certain parts of the gaza strip where it's being lacking so much over the last few months. okay, but and thanks for the update, there are no capacity serious, i'm sure we'll speak to you in due course and let's bring now a back key. and now to 0 senior political analyst, mile in the shower, and my one israel, these radio army saying we con, confirm or deny. we're checking. i'm us talking about the need for say,
1:28 pm
a few minutes here in color color doors and to see so we ended up conversation about me to go with the question i was about to ask you, is this kind of this kind of goose them up searching in violence now, in any way connected to talks that are ongoing and potentially in the final stages . if joe biden is a, he's to be believed at least towards the cx, 5 this side of ramadan is this a message by these resources we'll give you your cx 5? it doesn't think it's over there. so that's also on the line to another. we're talking about a temporary cease fire, right? a temporary so here. so there are 2 ways to look at this in the context of a cease fire attempt or a ceasefire deal. one way to look at it is that these are in the government wants to get as many 5 city as possible and create as much produce as much damage as
1:29 pm
possible. think garza before this thing stops for whatever a few days or weeks. but i'm an explanation that i am leaning towards because of how gruesome this thing is is that then it's a new government, this coalition of fanatics and fascist does not want any kind of ceasefire. does not want any kind of choice. that's not even one falls. and probably does not want to free the or because this whole small process, a frame captives for weeks and weeks when we can resolve what they say, the military and will undermine the war campaign that is supposed to get sort of sooner than later. this would undermine biden's attempt at coordinating these res into some kind of an american strategy that leads to
1:30 pm
integrate think is right in the lesion and put a good on some kind of fee reticle past ways to work towards that. so this whole is the category is at this point in time, alien through these really the government. in fact it's getting into the majority of the is there any pump and the is ready to go from i to knows. so the prime ministers, this guy, benjamin, that then, you know, here's political future. personal political future is at stake because of his government implodes. he goes to jail and died bundled, a number of corruption charges. here's coordination, where you cannot withstand more american pressures to talk about the 2 state solutions up to talk about withdrawal from guys or to talk about know, creating the securities owns and all that stuff. it kind of was done a good number of the fascist and the fanatics will leave the government, which means a new elections. nothing. you know cannot afford 3. why this person?
1:31 pm
the fascist, nothing now is not popular. it is right. he only commands maybe 15 percent of the options out of the scale in his right because he failed on october 7. among other reasons. mister security plus to be mister in security. basically incompetent, 5 minutes, a political and this guy might not be popular personally, but his ideas continuing to warrant because i'd circle defeat think i'm us is very popular in israel until today. in fact, a recent pull in is right just few days ago as is re these. there's photo monetization. so what's the out of getting fees? is there a future security guard at these? would you accept this arms?
1:32 pm
basically, you know, what's on, i mean i've had a stand off on me, this is not the one don't want to hear about anything that 3 even resembles half of state, one half of the doors. so sorry to distill that. and to be clear, your analysis of this event is that it is most likely an attempt by the netanyahu government to create such a pulling chaos in the gaza strip of that it undermines the case for a cease fire. is that the i did. so i lean towards that, yes, he's trying to undermine any potential deal. yeah. basically, how much of a break or potentially being is saw was wrong, did that. he basically gave his principal down to florida. i've been principal agreement to it. and now he just wants to kill and destroy as much as possible before monday, tuesday, wednesday, before the dawn starts. right. so he's gonna make himself
1:33 pm
a good number of days to create havoc in the west. and this perhaps a sort of salt to the far right wing elements of he's got a government, a government in which splits are widening as we speak with people like him. i've been giving you over the limits and visits to the likes and most during ramadan codes, they should be part of that. so i, i need to underline something here because we've been discussing this file number of days and through my reading, i think that there's a lot of confusion about what are we talking about when we talk about these really a government work governing coalition, right? who's doing what? right, let's makes it a number of things clear. the so called moderates the eisen cod guns. uh, got it all done. so on the generals. the generals are the ones who are carrying
1:34 pm
this semester, not, not the now. if any, oh $6.00, it offers in west jerusalem on that of eve and books policy, the ones katty and policy, the ones advising policy, the one shaping the war policy part that journals that generals caught on, on board with this kind of slow to. so make no mistake about it, guns an item cart and get onto on implicated in these. busy products, there's no mistake about that. auto number of others, the more phonetic, religious fanatics, right? right. like the likes of being viewed on so on, so forth. i had until up until yesterday, the jews that i'm security 5, the star security 5. he wants to push one or funds. he wants to water with live and on up to be what he wants. i want and joe sent him. he wants to take over the lock, so mosque and he wants to escalate to the claims guys. so he wants everything happening at the same time. like total, you know, cut them into the mind, right?
1:35 pm
this is not going to go with nothing. he or his general, his whole life to do this piecemeal. we can now preoccupied ourselves with joe. so my, the oxide doing that almost done and gets the entire muslim world against us on top of our general side that we are getting and guns. so some people have strategy. some people have, you know, fanaticism on mind and just want to kill and destroy everything that's not jewish in the line between the jordan river and then me, the thing is so i think what we see today are the nothing you know and company in the war cabinet added and disagree with the government trying to defy biden stay loyal to their fresher stick for that. the base with it is read and thought to distort as much as possible. i've got some on the way sort of there is no optimistic. well, certainly not on a day like this. let's take
1:36 pm
a look now at how we've been some fold it as is really smart. this 5, the palestinians who were collecting food days in the west of gauze and safety, at least 77 of them were killed in more than 250 engine with michael apple reports . now. in the early hours of the morning, thousands of people flocked to l. rashid road, southwest of cause, a city desperate for 8 in state survivors say they walked into a trap. by the time the sun rose, the extent of the hara was the date and the dying lying side by side or to gun down by his riley fly out of the is really just open random fire on us as if it was a truck. once we approach to a trucks and this is really tanks and we're playing started firing on us. if this continues like this, we do not want any a deliberate at all. every con board come in means another method instead of
1:37 pm
aid, they've come away with the data by don't key cost call and make sure the stretches the wounded are taken to nearby hospitals, all of which are overwhelmed and barely function involved via the. this is exactly what we have been warning about, the hospital being out of service to mid this massive influx of patients we are operating on batteries. most of our victims are in critical condition which requires urgent surgical intervention. but the hospital is without operating rooms . i stand helpless, we're simply administering 1st, a treatment only looking at that i've, one of the survivors says bodies are still lying on the streets where they were gunned down. what can i give inside the, i don't know. as soon as the 8 trucks entered, these really started shelling and shooting everyone who was on the road. they opened fire randomly, killing innocent men and women and children. look,
1:38 pm
there was gunfire, snipers shooting tanks showing enrolled, and the palestinians are left with few options to starve to death slowly or wake up or risk losing their lives. collecting aid might level to 0 while that's bringing a ride out and then send out a spokesperson to the panama city in red crescent. he joins us on the phone, live from gaza. thank you for joining us. i understand this will be translated, this interview. can you bring me up to date, please with what the very latest situation is inside gaza following the attack on people searching for right. thank you for having me today. the is a new patient. false is targeted and intentionally all pay and fire randomly on families and civilians lining up for the delivery of police and the 2 guys,
1:39 pm

1:41 pm
exactly what the international organization be made to, can the human or, and the someone on basically is exactly what the, so the allies, the showed the quotes in order to clinton. and so there's a lot of them i to bring this more to an end to help the store and the establish the entire health sector. this is the 1st step to save what type of lift the guys that and the guys and i'm at it's hot. this was an attack on the civilians hungry uh trying to get their hands on what small amounts of aid they could can you describe for me please? the situation for most cousins now in terms of the availability of food, the availability of basic supplies one sealants. these are really a military point on galleries that got these right to patient forces have been
1:42 pm
systematically using the bond really paid as a width and trying to start women and children. cutting off supplies, getting calls about a boat and basic necessities. in addition to that value, the quantity is of freely paid directly from 8 until guy from the salad pod, very scanned the catalog even the, the, the lease of the basic necessities of a gas. and that is um, yeah, most of the guides is have been reading on the star base and let alone have since i made the can supplies many of the disabled people with good on a disease, the women's and even babies and infants, dogs to attend the international community most of that swiftly without any delay in order to allow the delivery of aid without what conditions. what is the
1:43 pm
ability of your organization, the palestinian red crescent in ordinary times of course crucial for gods and civilians in need of help. what is your ability to function now? across the gaza strip? we have very few crew still operating within get straight to us. however, they are a painted cynically targeted by these really policies. we have lost more than 20 hours. and i made all these the conditions unsolved, so don't basic and it says it deals what we are still struggling doing or what we can in order to lend a helping hand to that guides. and namely, those display are in more than people that the internet, the display is
1:44 pm
a cam up which is now home to thousands of civilians are we also did our best to in order to put top make sense clinic in order to provide the most basic services this is only what we can do despite the fact that we are being and 10 sen talk, said by this lady. a cool patient policies for the month of ramadan is less than 2 weeks away. now, there is talk of the possibility of a cease fire. before ramadan. i want to ask you, what do you imagine will be the situation in the strip? if no cease, fire is deal is reached before i'm done. if there is no resumption of the flow of adequate data into casa, before rama done this on. so
1:45 pm
people are speaking about the holy month. so for amazon, but most uh, people are speaking about the political and military plans. however, i should speak up from the human perspective. we have been really gone, the belligerent toyota bombardment carpet bombing was started bass. in 4 months. the new women send during those who have been taunted more than a 100000. has it been since the units have been destroyed? totally let alone the academics and diseases already made the total collapse of the entire hand. sick. the save. this continues for a week sort of months. this means that the schools that get sense, like it's not the kids to buy it, there's really carpet bombing again sitting there will be dead as a result of disease and starvation. okay,
1:46 pm
you've been listening to rod, let him say on the phone from guys, a spokesperson for the palestinian red crescent. and i thank you for your time and for more we can talk now more on these really moscow all palestinians, while they were collecting food. here's, i'll just ears, correspondence on the ground on us of sharif in northern casa, a mess that up the talent to shuttle out and look at the operations of retrieving and recovering are still ongoing despite the dangerous situation. and there are still scores of people killed and injured in al rashid street, that the medics are not able to reach because it's really military tanks or targeting anyone who tries to get to the area. the situation is disastrous after the massacre. a huge number of injured is still waiting for medical attention, but the hospitals in the north are unable to provide care because they've become an operational like and come all at one hospital where the injured is still bleeding on the floor and only given 1st day. i, i let them know i'm like, what do you want?
1:47 pm
i mean now is mama check our professor of conflict resolution and diplomacy at george mason university. it's good to see you again. thank you for joining us. and what can we say about these events? pretty green and a pulling moment in the context of this conflict that the moments like this. of course, it's tempting in any situation like this, that the lowest points could be seen as a sort of punctuation mark as a turning point as a tipping point. even do you think this could be one of those? i think we're witnessing a metal higher on here of the water and, and it goes into dimensions. one photo stays a human to city in a truck shift, so turn it into an em buttons of stuff came in more than 77, an engineering more than 250 point to stay. and this is a huge case of civilian davis patients. and i don't think it is
1:48 pm
a collect the explanation. the 2nd i own a with the 2nd father with the smith, i don't is the to, to close in there in the 5th month of these 4. and the international community is still looking me being amazed, how come we could not impose in this solution so we have no diploma to no said is it from i think approach no humanitarian way of containing this and all well accepted or not. i'm on i as in, is that these, but his teens can finish from the phase of code. so i'm going, i don't want to decry the situation, but i would like to raise a question here. what is the united states? what is your, what is the united nations? where is this mind set of someone who has been loving in for peace and now will basically lead and nothing you can as many as but as soon as possible. the question
1:49 pm
is he has promised to book in december to this war and we'd continue for many, many more months. so i think the whole know is good, giving them comfortable to keep killing this. but his teens to the, the k a promise and which he's not going to happen. basically, we have all the scenarios. we have totally been and i've gotten started. we have the vehicle, i mean, in vietnam, in the seventy's known state acts, those do not vanish basically because you have another generation, then you have another generation. so basically the question is, how do we go into a new pose and 2 or so? so for resistance in the processing in question is, this is a conflict and whether will i could or not? someone has to say, wait a minute, i think that is some of the logical piece. if there is no logical for nothing a while ago so far. and came on the 30000 feet, so the number is staggering. but i'm wondering, is there a reason way of
1:50 pm
a clear containing? no, we, this isn't all spin over yet, but the human to get into a situation is going far as we come, i think so there must be a decision somewhere that this situation can not continue. and because a 1000 isolated is what i am a 1000. so i so nathan, the united states and the body, the ministration needs to take the it's was into action. we have the state as opposed to a minute to over says 5 or 6 weeks is fine, but we've heard it many times. we need some muscles to put some pressure on that's unable to accept a certain piece for it is or do you wish, or at least a piece from containment? can we get into some of the mean negotiations and nothing, you know, needs a outcome of the hostage crisis? i think that would be there's more pressure going on and is what i and so there
1:51 pm
must be some you know, as long as you can way of thinking of the far more nearly 5 months of caitlin for the sake of getting those postings. yeah, i mean for that to say we've been searching for this sort of logic, logic of peace for months now have a way and there are different views of, of what is going on. my one big shot. or it was just suggesting that in fact, nothing you know, who doesn't want to see the release of the captives because he loses, he's raised on that for war. i want to ask you, we've, and if a fairly brief terms with you, you see any co relation between this violence now and the talks that are going on towards the possibility of a cx 5 before ramadan. is it possible? this is the sort of final spasm, all of these really violence within the gaza strip as nothing yahoo builds towards a cx 5. let me start with how these new around those folks builds up on the previous around. so we had to have book in early december, we had a slip of 155 hostages for nearly 25200 understanding and prisoners.
1:52 pm
then we have the 2nd round and kind of the so the one in pad is yes, i've seen that there is some moment and them toward a possible cruise. possible pause, but i'm not sure that millions of c i a is pushing hard enough for us is 5 and also when i hear my then explain it or given us some hopes that by monday we may have i'm not sure with the by then and blink i'm out on the same page because blinking the linux has not accepted a safe fire approach from the very beginning and the state and says that in order we can think about of ways possibly possibly a 66 week pause. so i believe from a conflict resolution perspective, i strongly believe that a pool is or is is 5, is not the solution. therefore, we need is this file and nothing else is the doesn't want this because it is just 5,
1:53 pm
then the bottom line has to change from a military one into a diploma to go on. and he doesn't want to go to the people that i'm a chuck county. thanks for your thoughts on that. now really my colleague natasha tay, spoke to jonathan filed the owner of spokes person. he says the organization is facing severe challenges and providing a central aid to gaza. the, the amount of aid has, is basically how since january, um, we need to get $500.00 trucks a day into the gaza strip simply to maintain an aide operation. that's not commercial traffic. that's $500.00 trucks at night. it's certainly not happening for a number of reasons, but this means that the population which is basically on live support has been deprived of essentials for the shipping label. and you say it's hauled in the last month. what reasons are these res giving full that? are they saying it's administrative or they imposing additional checks? what are you hearing from them? it's a combination of scientists. i mean, obviously i'm in any conflict. assessing the, the, the u. n. a talks with,
1:54 pm
with all parties involved to ensure that convoys a comfortable use can flow freely to get the i, to people that need it. and we have a combination we, we've had a blockages of on the board. we've also had issues of safety within the cause a strip and also refusal of access, notably to the north conditions have not made it simple to get to the north. but like a facilitation beginning column goes across the gaza strip is a huge problem. so bottlenecks arise inevitably and then nothing. it is not guessing in and it's not getting across the gaza strip either. jonathan, your agency on right has said that it might have to say so patients within weeks, if the funding for ease is currently and placed on the bus, what would that mean? so it causes agent for structure lose. it stands um 2000000 people um rely on support from under um, in the gaza strip so that that's almost entire population. we're feeding over
1:55 pm
1000000 and we have over 1000000 people in the around 150 under a shelters, which before october was was school buildings. those are all massively over crowded . so basically, um, if we unplug and we unplugged the, i don't bryson to those people, the planes have to live in desperately need it to monitor and aid to northern garza . and it's the 1st time and have dropped has happened in the north of the strip palestinian se books is landed around the indian eastern hospital in jamalia. on tuesday, plains dropped supplies into the rough and con eunice stay with donated by katara egypt. jordan france, and the united arab emirates. 8 agencies say it's becoming more difficult and dangerous to deliver aid to millions of palestinians in maine. when we can examine roadside exam, josiah is the head of humanitarian policy and advocacy. it saves the children. she says that unless there is a cease 5 things we're going to get with we're what we're seeing now is the worst
1:56 pm
case scenario and folding right before our eyes. our organizations were been working on the ground in gaza for the last months, had been warning that children were going to start dying of severe mound nutrition and disease. and that's exactly what's happening. and in the last few months, what we've seen is that reports are indicating that food and security ad malnutrition, in gaza, has only intensified by the day. and we also know that this is because of the real what list is really been barnett the ongoing is restrictions that i present to the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance and the complete estimation of the civilian infrastructure and services that was leading to the situation right now. what i can say is that when children suffer from severe mountain attrition, they are high, higher likelihood of dying from common diseases like diarrhea or pneumonia or
1:57 pm
common cold because their bodies just can't withstand it. and we know that in gaza right now, 90 percent of children under 5 suffer from some sort of infectious disease and more than 70 percent have suffered from diarrhea in the last 2 weeks. so the situation is dire and it's getting worse and it won't get better unless there is a ceasefire. and we're able to scale up humanitarian assistance. or what i was already do. i'll remind you of the main news, this news as a death of at least 77 palestinians in gaza. city the people who were killed as they scrambled for aid. many describing thursday's attack cause a massacre of civilians by is riley troops. hundreds of hungry and stopping palestinians scrambling, as i said, food, that's it for maintenance stuff to take back with more in a moments, stay with us. the
