7:02 pm
sanitation facilities. gabriel is on the is it un headquarters in new york? and so this comes off to repeated evacuation or does that we've seen particularly in central gaza. gabe, what does the united nation saying about the decision to hold a, in an around gaza? this is senior un official is saying that the u. n. is essentially at a breaking point and they said with this new evacuation order from there up, all of that meant that you and staff that were operating in darrow bala, essentially the operation center were forced to flee. and because of that, according to this un official, uh that, uh, the un at this very moment as i speak to, i cannot provide any aid anywhere in guys. so essentially all you an operations have ground to a halt in gaza. the official a, made it clear that the u. n is not,
7:03 pm
i repeat is not planning to pull out of gas. it completely. and then it is not. they are not officially suspending operations and guys are, but they said by all practical measures, we simply, we meaning the un can no longer provide any aid anywhere in gossip. now, while the u. n has temporarily halted aid at certain points over the last 10 or so months for an hour or 2. this is the 1st time they've been forced to hold o aide throughout the entire guys a strip area. now the un will be holding a briefing here un headquarters and will be starting very shortly. but the headline here is it is unprecedented. the situation in gaza and at the un at this very stage is reassessing everything and can no longer provide any aid anywhere in the gaza strip. i mean, it's as i suppose it,
7:04 pm
the important thing to come to the area gabriel does it and actually when was there was a you and briefing that was his schedule and that's listening to me and just said he didn't get any more detail on okay. has been explaining to us the change over the last few weeks. the last couple of months. what we're seeing now is families, mother is children, dragging their belongings. most people are moving by service. that is very limited access to any kind of vehicle, was this kind of displacement. now people just don't know what to go. if you seen that you monetary an area to see the communist milwaukee area, you can evaluate and see the side of the floor anymore. and it is just pat shelter to show it to people the using the side of the building was with the site to stop the see want to coming into that makes of shelters. so the kind of dia conditions that we uh, we are experiencing here. and there are scorpions, the mosquitoes,
7:05 pm
that is ras mice, nice among the population who are living in these conditions as we're seeing and increase the spread of disease on as much as leister where we've now had the best confound case a pretty i, in the cause a straight since the last 25 years. and this really just speaks to how dia, the conditions here in terms of, you know, lots of access to clean drinking more into the trash that is kind enough everywhere among the population, among the conditions where they are living sewage war to which is not. so you still see again when people are living among this, i'm desperation when you speak to people, have them speak to a colleagues. there is very limited heart. now people are really, really as ways working for a ceasefire. they express trust,
7:06 pm
that is the army type. now it feels that you wouldn't have a very far away from the front line. so really the space that people have been confined to is so minimal. their attacks in areas that used to be designated as they areas. and this is just another testament to that being the websites and the god, the straight people have no, it's got. there is no way to find the safety. i is very limited access to monetary and resources because the humanitarian operations also being displaced with the needs of exploration and what is on the humanitarian response. it is being completely strangled unlimited. the our ability of what we can do. i will talk to my my clothing, summers to, to continue to briefing to science. ladies, i'm trying to say, oh shoot and said, said since all see you in the middle of a slow reset. it is, there's some extra coming from job moments when he seen
7:07 pm
a slew evacuation orders over the 1st week of august, a couple of 100000 people on the move. yes. again and, and just like them we are being squeezed into ever small areas of gaza. the, the human rights are as excited by his rally strong kids now by 11 the standards of the entire goals and strip. and this is an 11 to send the blind, but it's fixed, but publication fit for services. but the last, really, these are some jews. these are crowding areas where as, as louise said, beat bluff, a living to cheek by jowl doing what, what, what ever they can to get by the streets as, as people receive evacuation or what is that they're on the move they, they don't know what to do to they stay today waves or on to the to they got to they go now that faced with impossible choices. and essentially what's happening is
7:08 pm
more families have been split system state us and others try and find whatever it is that they can find. some of that that, that media belongings and this is the, the, the environment where, where in lack of access to a lot of access to services towards that to, to, to how karen is. look, it's precisely in the circumstances the, the polio has recently re emerge in gaza with, with, with a small number of cases that can spread very rapidly for any of the perfect storm of conditions that it creates the environment. and we only have kind of a remodel nourish children that destined makes its health sense. a very full was and sanitation and a it as services the conditions, people's living amid job age living and the legs of sewerage, the, the stress, the anxious immune system. this awesome press start precisely the, the,
7:09 pm
the insurances of we as an instructional community have been warning about for so long on now coming to pass when working collectively all uh, access. now get on making the polio campaign which will start this task today in a success. it involves mass, human resources over 3000 people. and so, so we'll be working on next. i'm paying over a 1000 of them drawn from from unwrapped, which is essentially the largest primary health care provider left in the gaza strip. the 5 seems to come in with calling for tom when calling for human rights are in pauses that will allow the vaccination programs to pass and be implemented successfully. we continue to hold for a, for the best and we have to because without the everything is gone. but a lot of the passats have noticed have just told us that the only thing we can say
7:10 pm
with that need assessments is that tomorrow will be worse than, than today. that's the nature of the environment. it's the nature of the situation . unfortunately, way we are dealing with parents to be the cause of the 2 point. 1000000 civilians are continuing that sense and lives through on a daily basis. that's the. busy thing i wanted to say we're going to come back to you and we're very happy to take questions for as long as you have. thank you very much. michelle. nice, go ahead. hi, uh, both michelle nicholas from royces. thanks so much for doing this briefing for us. we really appreciate it. i as we've just had uh, from a senior un official who said that given the, the evacuation order that was made yesterday in the area where the u. n. central command for all i had operations is, has been made that as of today basically o un humanitarian operations of ground to
7:11 pm
a halt because conditions just don't allow for them to take place. what can you tell us about that and what a, how might this affect the upcoming polio, fax, fax nation? i do not answer the question. look indeed, it was about this time yesterday. if actuation orders were issued, the been a sliver of the $713.00, or 15. and in august today, the last last night i faxed you the block of gauze ring, which a as a number of un international guessing houses where it was situated. so number of you and stuff on the move that the buildings are back to you. i said where in the red guest house there and we were accommodating a number of, of international stuff. others spend the night in one of our warehouses down in, in con eunice. i mean, what i can say is that the human, etc. and operation is incredibly squeeze. we're getting very little
7:12 pm
a supply in for through cash alone. we estimate that a 1000000 people who we funds to assist with with food aid and in august we'll go with out, look for a week window, the draw services directly through uh through a web foster as a 5000 staff who are working on, on any given day health services continue across 8 or 9 primary health care settings as an over 90 health points that are operating in around schools that are turned into the shelves as well. literally hundreds of thousands of people are seeking shelter those services on continuing, but indeed, the space, the ability of the us system that the human rights are and system to operate in gaza is becoming increasingly difficult. is becoming a recently constrained at
7:13 pm
a time when we need to for or results is this to uh, to, to do with the issues that we're facing. and just a really quick follow up. you mentioned that there's a 1000 unreal with stuff involved in the polio campaign and they are still working for henri or, or if they've been to come to, to a different agency. because if i recall correctly, the, is rarely a master said last week that i'm or wasn't involved, or where, where massively and involves the very emotional, there's a single and un entity anywhere in the world would have been able to mobilize, like we have mobilized to deliver continue to deliver it and health services across the because a straight we have a right, a 1000 people. normally, in uh, health clinics. we provide more on the health care consultations than, than any other entity across gov. and we are not involved in bringing the vaccines in, but we are a key health provider in the united nations anastasia that will be delivering those
7:14 pm
boxes through how clinics of the work is in other parts of the health system will be involved. but under is a critical and an integral off of the public health system inside goals are um, we are in the a key blade. in the campaign, we estimate of $640000.00 children will be vaccinated sitting up to 40 percent of those children receiving vaccines will receive those boxes from unwrapped. but it's very much a whole system. all of us a system asset involving the different entities with different roles and different responsibilities. thank you very much, sherman, please. hi, sam and louise. this is sheldon bryce piece of africans was costing, i guess, be just struggling to understand how you're going to reach the 640000. you're talking about. as michelle pointed out, we heard that you an operations lodge. they've come to a halt in gaza. you're talking about being squeezed to people have to line up for these vaccines. where will they go for these facts?
7:15 pm
i don't understand how you're going to achieve the 640000, given the conditions which are under which you're operating now. the right will be incredibly difficult. we have to live a l services through for the banks and it's been and goes over the past. 75 is partly for those health services that have been continued to deliver from complex from displacement at this bottom for that. we've been able to run in case these communicable diseases, evans, i'm not sure. sadly, reading a wait holding for both the human it's are in both with to allow us to deliver those vaccinations safely so that they the children and the parents can bring them to the clinic. so hasta on lowball staff. we have a 90 teams of move our staff who will be working around the shell says working around the clinics and the schools to deliver those faxes, but it will be
7:16 pm
a very difficult operation. it was determined that successful the very much on the conditions on the ground at the time we and the rest of the system involved will do absolute utmost to deliver the accounts payment. because without that, we know that the conditions well will just be wa, sadly, but yeah, it's not guaranteed that it will be a success. we need a, we were, we estimate around 95 percent of children needs to receive the vaccines for the campaign to be a success. and look, i think being the other thing i've just add very quickly is for those who do contrast of the who do go say the prospects for them as well. incredibly bad, if it's just sewage and it's the, was the conditions that have led. so they've contrasting probably have a treatment in health care facilities and hospitals and clinics, many of which are only partially, all right, so going to happen to several months juice in the complex. and if i may add to the
7:17 pm
ever thing seen a has been offer, suggested so far everything the united nations of cheese in the gaza strip has when i'm president says the conditions are on presidents is every day as a new challenge. yes, there's plenty of vaccination campaign is a challenge, a very, very big challenge for every part of the united nations that the families, the children who are living this, this theories placement. it's a transfer every one, but i've seen, you know, to well, to completely destroyed and then rebuild by one more stuff in a matter of weeks. how did they rebuild it there? and i've talked the solution pots from, from broken down costs and fixing the things that i would say, the fixable anal providing, which is 200000 people. again, because of that ever seen here. the challenge ever seen here is a struggle. this is the next and 9,
7:18 pm
but the stuff that occasion and people will continue finding a way, a amazing every day. they continue to come to the most bodies oddest place. they are part of this population. they are struggling. what do they do with the families? the bombing and the strikes has been limited every night, every day. there is no safety. everybody knows as no safety. i'm. yeah, they not, it's the best thing for the children, the best thing for that community. so they still come out and they, they want to, to be part of this and to achieve this for themselves. so the community to thank you e d, please. thank you very much. i this letter of from the associated press and thanks for doing this on behalf of the united nations correspondence association. um, i just wanted to clarify a few things. um, today is on you said on raw health facilities are operating um are any palestinian just anywhere in gauze or getting food today and
7:19 pm
are your other operations um going on as well? yeah, i mean look, i don't have the precise vegas in front of me as i say, we estimate when we have on shore as a system overall on a 1000000 people in the month and sometimes us a few day. and this is a bill of problems over several, most problems, a crossing point right down in lower and order due to the absence of, of civilian style. and the fact that people uh, constantly moving around and reaching those people with these live savings services becoming increasingly difficult when bringing in various. busy numbers of trucks we use the system on any given day, we have in recent days been able to provide emergency to us. so families facing
7:20 pm
displacement facing from bottom, but a much lower levels than we have been able to do in the past. and by slow levels then, and then on need, we estimated 500 trucks a day, as you probably recall on needed when getting in as a system, you know, around about 100 trust a day. and this is precisely why we're seeing increases in the uh, in range of malnutrition and suppression of, of the media systems. and as well as the, the a coming in. it's the services that the people are able to access with every uh, evacuation the remote services that become and accessible. and what we've seen in durham ballot in the middle area of the past couple of days, there's lots of access to some of the main bullet points in this area. so people surviving on absolutely minimal minimal amounts of what's our ability to repair
7:21 pm
those networks as well. massively constrained as well because of restrictions on entry office supplies on the entry of floor range to carry out your vacation to carry out say, basic center traits activity is you called so on the ball. okay. so are increasingly difficult and so on. the single probably most single effects most effective thing for the basic hygiene people, people no longer have because of the, the difficulties and the crime. doesn't this a lot i think costs are unfortunately. um yeah, no, go ahead please. just the i the recent use of the assessment. so this was in july, the 6 percent of children in the cell on one percent of the children in the north of getting the dietary requirements needed. so what that means is, you know, nice fish for vegetables, children are lacking this and this is what i mean, the self assessment of style. so even when to just get into people,
7:22 pm
there's been 10 months of a very severe lack of nutrition. i can you, what are some said he, i want to that screen because i'm trying to reconcile what the senior year when official said that the you, when is unable to operate today and your same that yes, your health facilities are still operating and perhaps some food is getting to certainly very few people but some people and i wonder if you could address that then no, i have one less follow up or yeah, absolutely. i mean, uh, services are continuing to the extent that they are able to continue and press differently from a you an agent saves in this sense that we have,
7:23 pm
we deliver our services directly from dominantly through national palestinian style, which is quite different. they own pricing model for the rest of the, of the un system today has been more difficult in the past 24 hours have been incredibly difficult, particularly for some of the international companies, but from national stuff. many of you might be speaking to, to data clinics are and, or where, where they are able to open our offices or of, and some of the services. uh, continuing. i can only really speak on behalf of unwrap. uh, i would estimate that 16000 people to receive a services provided by, by 100 understaffed across, across the street. great. and in, in deer all the ball. um, we were told that the un operations headquarters was ordered to evacuate. i know you were talking about these 5 guest houses so um
7:24 pm
do you know about the operation center or are they looking for a new place? have they found a new place? i assume you would be in contact with them or yeah, as of absolutely, i believe that that was a reference to the culture offices where the un nobody out or is the coordination office. bring everyone together. that was one of the guest house slash offices. that was in the, the evaluations on one of the box where people were ordered to all, give them strong warnings to leave. i had a ministry of operations they had to evacuate when they would be able to go back. okay. i, i don't know we'd, we'd have to ask them, but the, the meeting still would previously take place that will now say place in a large,
7:25 pm
unreal office in con units. it was previously actually a lot general office and rough. uh, we do it, providing the facilities in the services that are still signing up and so may, when again we were forced to to evacuated. but yeah, those major things that convening of will now be one of the, the, on our offices and on the health sensor actually and, and, and con eunice. what this does is it just adds to the confusion of the i'm status and see, you know, we has a group of humanitarian to do what displacement. 3 like, in addition to the population, but this isn't the 1st time it, you know, some says it's been around 15 despite, it's my old isn't the last. huh. it just opens the line. we lost access to what's a close to right. it was to, you know, warehouses, this isn't the 1st time this month, but he monetary is of, had to, uh, you know,
7:26 pm
re shake the humanitarian responses has been happening for the most every time there is an evaluation order issued our facilities a very often in those areas we have to start what we do a and rethink ever say news or else news, the health census rehabilitate health centers that have been destroyed and start using them again. additional health clinics and health went into the shelters. you know, was there anything and everything comfortable to, to keep us in our moving to keep services going, move a medicine, moving equipment, movement, everything we can uh, finding new spaces to have is warehousing, distribution centers. but yeah, this is, this is no, this has been the benefit situation is oh, every day you don't know what's going to happen. we done what faces are. we have to take the challenges as they come. thank you very much. thank you. i've been out of place. thank you. i don't know how many you'd slam from the daily i could sell out
7:27 pm
of you and thank you for the briefing. i have few questions. could you tell us what happened today or this morning and i saw hospitality. do i have or so, or try to evacuate? so what, what's going on if you have firsthand information and 2nd, after, is there a declared on order? well, as a terrorist organization, look who's talking, how is your relation with your, with as all right? do you tell them where you're moving to a corporate with you? is there any communication channels between your end is right? and lastly, so stiff, stefan, sorry, louise question. you said this is unprecedented, unprecedented. so what do you call and what's going on in? because other than killing fields or to slow at that house. thank you. so on the next. so what's the,
7:28 pm
so we don't have those kind of knowledge of this is actually very difficult even for us to, to move because the miniature operations in the areas in darrow, by the income units, a so intense and they have been to the law. right? so we've just been getting an update on the humanitarian situation in gaza right now after a shot, etc. ration all is activation or does in the 1st week of august, that's what we've been hearing. hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to move as a result of those evacuation orders, but they've also been squashed into some 11 percent of the line, which as we were hearing is not fit to live in. because there is no shelter, there's no access to clean water. and there is a total lack of, of hygiene and sanitation, which means that we are now facing an outbreak of diseases in like polio. and also people having to live in some horrific on livable conditions. we're hearing samara
7:29 pm
is describing that people living in a garbage and lakes of sewage, which means that cause the suffering immune system to suppress which will again perpetuate the outbreak of disease. now listening to all of this is our correspondent in new york. gabrielle is on there who's at un headquarters in new york, and i'm gabe. i was struck by the when it got to the bit with the questions, it's very difficult to establish how much aid is actually getting into gauze right now. that even if the a trucks the entering gaza, if, if it's actually being distributed properly as yeah, that's right, that's long. been a problem if you will, for the last 10 months or so, the u. n is consistently said, it's not about the number of a trucks getting in. it's about how the after some of those get in how and if it can be distributed. it's a very complex process and you and it said 4 or 4 many months now that it really is
7:30 pm
about getting the, the people that need it. it's not about how many trucks cross the border crossing or can't so, so that is, is very key. and it is a very confusing situation on what border crossings are open. what are the bottom line to the all of this is, and this is really the key to all this is not enough. 8 is getting in and it hasn't been for many, many months now. that is very clear and i think it's, it's also worth noting this little untangle here exactly what's happening because events are moving pretty quick when it comes to the us and guys are right now. you just heard there from 2 top officials with under united nations relief and work agency for posting and refugees. they've been doing work for years in got it. they continue to work in gaza. they continue to to the best of variability as you heard from them. there is a we're live on our on our air giving
7:31 pm
a briefing to journalist here un headquarters in york. they continue to work on the ground in guys a distributing any.
