5:10 am
is a lot of optimism in is really media reports about possibly reaching a ceasefire. deal that would see the release of at least some is really captives from gaza. now this optimism has cautious because we've been here before. and the efforts were startled at the last minute because of new conditions because of different considerations. but what is at stake here? the situation that humanitarian situation in the gaza strip is beyond catastrophic . and how mike wants to see the entry of humanitarian assistance as soon as possible. that is being tied to phase one of the ceasefire agreements. and right now, as we understand, the discussions are down to the details to the names of who would be released, what, who among the palestinian detailing is would also be released. so the details are being ironed out. egypt and cats are playing, of course, an important role. and the united states has its eyes on this. the outgoing and
5:11 am

5:13 am
here in the north that was on his ready strike on homes, housing displaced people that these 8 people have been killed in an attack on a residential building. it happens that a come out as one hospital rest and start struggling to reach those still trapped under the rubble will come out as one hospital is come under repeated attack since the stones of israel's siege of northern garza. some of the latest attacks by these very minute treat what carried out using remote control. vehicles, caring explosives. explosions have destroyed nearby buildings and terrified patients of the zeros month. fluids has been to the hospital and has more know about the ongoing attacks. a physical van. it's totally some of the medical stuff patients and one of the people as is right on the key, this toning trouble with the photo explosives near to come out of the hospital. we are talking here about street,
5:14 am
away from the medical stuff. that's why fragments keep hitting directly the hospital itself. and that's why doctors here are, is tolling this and that says on the window of the i see you to box me to keep themselves saved from the attacks and allow me to show you one more thing, which is the neighborhood near to come out of the hospital which is completely destroyed, which is completely live in the ground as you can clearly see in the picture. so this is the limit of destruction inflicting in the hospital as you can see. and along with this one will think, which is the ceiling department and the father chose here. and also the tax directly shows the i c u department
5:15 am
from this bought from this side. so we also can key about lucky scenes every night every morning and every day as the is on the keep tacking and shooting the hospital. it's those doctors and the patients here, i'll be everybody to stop this genocide also to say this only operational health facility in the besieged nothing cause a strip club. it gives you a to z. uh, basically i found a sign. so to come here, off to the break rescue team, search for survivors often escalate onto onto the scale of the disaster matches the

5:21 am
the death toll is expected to rise. alexandra buyers al jazeera. what come into typical though is the director of wealth vision, vanya watson, who joins us live from 4th through the end of the funding lot to welcome to the program. so the scale of this seems immense. i mean, how difficult is it to assess casualties and damage at this stage? it's, it's quite easy because your report, i was saying that this is, this is unprecedented. it's um, it's something but this country has both faced and recent seems to be, um we, i can see that the front and the last us but know this type of disaster and on. so we, we have this copyright and i'm just struggling to, to, to, to understand this, the scale and complexity of, of the issues that are facing. so at the moment is to say to address commission that's ongoing in um,
5:22 am
some of the black in buildings. and this ongoing with come through the nation or disaster management office to just um, try and and gauge the impact of all of the ethnic. yes. you say struggling damaged? what are the main issues then for emergency services at this stage? so at this stage, 1st of all the data which is closed uh, being the uh, the ability to close for the next 72 hours. um, uh the, the, the, the, what time you know itself to come in must have shop and um, and it's, it's structurally compromised with a nail, but it's only allowing lights that are coming in to support the risk commission. and the response, as, as your report was amazing, the, the, the big that the cup to city is completely out of electricity. we have completely out of war times. and um, when they come in and put you on,
5:23 am
the systems are just starting to come up. now, um, so its been a typical 24 hours. it's exactly 24 hours since the last um the 5th. um the fix struck uh you may wish to know that to after this morning we try to stick on ethics . um, that needs to be sold, that so it was just an off the shop, but actually it wasn't as quick. i knew it was rated about 5.5 as, as, as a size, as given what you say then, i mean, what would you be quoting for in terms of what's needed right now to help the population, to be big plus tons of old be next up activated, so it's a plus, the system is where we believe it's, it's how we activate to monitor you on their phones, the government or button. what was the clear us that will be made just simple 7 days. and at the moment there's been too much reach outs that are being made to go
5:24 am
straight in and use the london and french governments. and um, we understand actually that, um, there will be a storage in our bases that will be loading in a couple of hours week because this applies because the supplies that, that are required at the moment i'm made equal both. it may be quite st shows and probably um, uh, stuff as well. one additional request that has been made by our government to the international community is. busy technical support to inform all fund missionary, but also inform the people that would help be the upset of the search and rescue mission on to the search and rescue mission is completed to then that's when um you might interior in organizations like also skin company now and i've done sort of, um, responds to the material needs at the moment we anticipate that the biggest cement area needs will be around for, as does the provision of what i especially to those that are living on the margins, particularly those that are leaving pretty auburn for many days we go,
5:25 am
so i do anticipate that they would be on an image as a full shortage. but um that's something that we're working on to estimate the impact of the, of the f. what i found you want to is prone to us quakes. but this one does seem to be exceptional, especially as you say, that was the 2nd one. yes, i mean we, we, we, we, we, we, we have been rated a, one of the most exhausted by phone countries in the world. i mean we, we have an, an existing volume the really i'm apart from being rated. one of the most is us the party, but from countries we rented, one will be, have just countries on that. so that's an interesting i any i'm, i'm like, i mean, you said with quite resilient, does it continue to dissolve those? the people find a lot of face the does also seem to pass. the systems are usually quite prepared to 100 a little is off this week. we my right and then in the middle of the cycling season . so there's been a little weird that um, if i'm looking to my of the indian,
5:26 am
which is a disaster management, i'm a government a drink to try it and i'm going to pay a full for the side of the season. but this particular one quarter, so i'm not aware of this is not the usual stuff that we deal with when we're dealing with exhaust that so, so they can tell the city. but also the, the scale of, of this particular break is something that is, is, is um, unprecedented in, you know, recent history tenants have a call the director of well vision. bonnie want to thank you very much indeed for joining us. at least 22 people are known to have died following one of the strongest storms and many a century to hit the french overseas touch of my aunt. the government has imposed a nighttime coffee on the indian ocean island, heading and visits by presence of mind on the chrome is fed. the final death toll could be in the hundreds. loftus sweeping through my opposite side, clement, she continued west, come along and most i'm big. with 34 people have died and several losses of an
