the goals are just a bottle of honey and hopville again. i know somebody just don't know how to stop most of the sudden but not so will i find out what is what was it done the the good at last to get the young shut on. it's a horn, i mean, some of the

the back by the time i get, it will break out in the middle east, bring us peace to see spar costs the welcome to all special coverage, all the sci fi between israel and thomas, which was supposed to begin in gaza, half an hour ago, israel says that will not come into effect until home us meets its obligations to publish the list of captives. it plans to release the mouth says it's committed to the terms of the agreement. and delay is because of technical reasons. these are the live pictures from northern cause and con eunice in the south a new day,

and say which hope and anticipation for a new beginning with guns and bones with full silence. but it's now changed with uncertainty. a 15 month solve, devastating war. full 170 days of genocide resulting in the deadliest conflict of the 21st century. the violence began on october, the 7th, 2023, with an unprecedented attack by him us and other palestinian resistance fighters that they broke out of the besieged cause of strip and infiltrated is riley territory. 1139 as varieties were killed that day, including 320 soldiers, and 59 police officers, and 251. his riley's and foreign nationals were also taken captive. what happened was the declaration of full bias royal on the mass of the people of johnson and

a pledge to eliminate the group. the scale and brutality of the offensive and least on gaza, has been unprecedented. 85000 tons of explosives have been dropped on the strip. garza is regularly described as an open that prison and the 2300000 people living in one of the most densely populated territories in the world. really has the way to go. is rarely attacks, have killed 904-7000 palestinians, and more than 17800 of them are children. as the will raged on coals by sci fi grew global, much as by millions of people protests on university campuses of the case of genocide, also against israel at the wells pop cold. aside from a breach sci fi that sol, some is ready to capt is released to exchange the palestinian prisoners. in november 2023. garza was puzzled with the rest. by efforts to end the

war was floated when the us vetoed ceased 5 proposals that the un security council for times. but tasso, the us, and egypt persisted with mediation efforts, son, doctor shuffle, diplomacy spending more than a year. finally, israel and the hoss agreed on the seas. 5 deal many suggest pressure by the incoming american president, dolo trump tipped the balance. but we have 3 correspondents covering the latest developments. stephanie dexter was standing by in a month. include 3 is in the hon. eunice and southern gaza. but 1st that's because i have to have the my food who's in the, in the central gaza and had a, obviously this delay in progress. what's the reaction that as that news filters out to the public across the gaza strip? the full as of this moment, we can only say it's only hold that people are actually living by. people are

hoping that they involve part. is it going to live up to their promises in both both the cease fire agreement that supposedly started at $830.00, but as of now, the delay has been 6 months of on search. anything that people in here are not ready to do with the ones that actually sees bar that would bring more ease, more uh, more uh, of, of the security and safety to them. but despite the delay, i would say all the technical reasons behind it, people are sales, are, are southern raping the poured into the hospital. here we seeing people to from all walks of life here. this place at our city is from 10 sides doctors from inside the hospital because your journal, this community is, came out of the southern pretty with people, women and children elderly. here's the one here. the courtyard of the hospitals hoping and praying for a cease fire that. busy holes and this particular technical issue is due to be

resolved very soon and they're not going to do what it, what housing news to be in the hands of hawks. you're not on sale a few minutes ago we could years sell the sound of artillery. and then we heard about the, the explosive inside one of the homes in the northern part of this trip that went off an injury. many of the family members who weren't going back to their homes, but here the filter on the area, it more of the facilities and the celebration we keep hearing shut guns, fire works as well as people and the, the, the, the, the chanting that it's time to go back, it's time to go back to northern part of the state to go through their home. is that for the ceasefire to hold? it's time to in the killing and the whole, the says fire water, bring a pause, an actual cause. this time for down going, killing the honey obviously, while people think that the baby is the size,

certainly in the next well short while the bombing by israel continues, we are hearing of a large attack to the news of the strip. i know it's pretty noisy. what you already heard in the past, if you get sorry. i know there's a lot of noise that. how do you sorry to venture yet? did you i think you got the question is attacking the most of the district. yes, absolutely. there are a tax in the, in the northern part of the state, but they are very consistent with this statement means by the, by daniel how guy who said that really missouri was doing to care to continue. terry, now the talk, the cross, the god serve as long as the the list of names is not handed to their side. and this is part of what was very consistent. also with what we've reported about just minutes. so we have from the, uh, the 830 the actual time to see why it was supposed to take hold. again,

we could hear the sound of the, the, our dealer. is it? the northern part of it is by the dates. there's also the ongoing shooting in, in what's in the southern roof. i city has to be able to try to get to their homes in that area where there's really valid or is this still station as well as the northern part were attacked by the heavy artillery the as of this moment targeting remaining buildings and areas where potential palestinian gatherings are going to take place, but all of this is not stopping people to from taking the streets. now we're, they're here in the hospital or at the facility to celebrate the, the fire. which by the way, it's not completed yet. uh, the delay is causing some sort of all of this comforts right now and some sort of on really because the whole being 30 was going to be the time that they are going to have the full and an as these, the whole see as far as the far that will hold,

i will not have any of the problems, at least for the 1st phase. how do you by the source, send it all by that. thank you honey. let's close eva to include 3 who joins us now . live from con. you'd us in southern gaza obviously, hadn't we, uh, reporting that the there was a delay in the si size that's being proposed between as well. and time us just explain to us what the atmosphere is like that was people receiving that news. well yes, it is too late, but it's very hard to convince all of these children and all of these displays palestinians that there is a delay in this use fire. we already see people cleaning the streets out, the rubber, we're seeing trucks trying to remove the rubble, we're seeing new police in the streets trying to coordinate raise the children, mothers by me. these call wake back to the. 7 we can see them talking all of. 7

their b vehicles with their math through fellows, and i asked a couple of about a class where are you going? and they were, are saying that they're going to the fun. we have been also seeing what it's earlier today to college. didn't use during sunrise going to to bad? yeah. words or body it has been under siege for more than $100.00 days. we have been seeing the whole sense of morning all the children are happy. all the fathers are happy. mothers are very happy. and one of the women screens here and she says, we do not want more people being killed. we do not want more houses to be destroyed . and this is the vibe here in hon. eunice where i'm standing here right now. we're waiting for the see as far it's a couple of hours may be couple of minutes, but the pilot been using the gaza strip have been waiting for the ceasefire for 470 days. we're talking about thousands of policy news that have been killed. thousands of houses that have been destroyed by here today. policy news are ready to start

from all over again. they're ready to go back to their houses. they're ready to celebrate the ceasefire agreement. and despite the fact that it is delayed, but still everyone is hoping that in the next upcoming hours, the ceasefire is going to be confirmed. include 3, the 4 as in call us close will continue to get an update from you as the day progresses. thank you. let's close over to stephanie decker, all correspondent, and the joe daily, and compet lamond and stephanie started because as well as ben dell deserve from operating within its borders. and stephanie, i just begin with the statement being made by a senior military official. what one does sometimes that words and phrases a very important at the time like this. i'm wondering whether the blame game has begun. the yes, terminology is every 2nd when it comes to the story of israel and palestine. but

we've had a statement from these ready armies spokesperson saying that the ceasefire. they're not going to adhere to it until how mass issues the names of the captives that will be released today. again, everything is important in language. there is no one saying the ceasefire is off the table. this is something that nobody expects. we are expecting a delay, whether that's going to be, you know, a couple of hours pushed into the evening this, nobody knows. but i think there was a consensus that this is going to go ahead. why? because of the international pressure on the outside, on both players, both her mouth and israel know how mouse had asked for about a week of association of facilities so that it could locate the captives. this was, you know, last week it was even talked about saying that it was very difficult for them to confirm where they were, whether they were still alive because of the reality on the ground in dollars off to 15 months of fighting. come out also doesn't hold all of the captives. so this

is what they're saying is causing the delay. the message from both sides is that they are committed to the ceasefire. israel is saying it's not gonna adhere to it until how mass fuel filters obligations to give those names, how mouse is, it's committed and that it's simply facing difficulties. i am sure thought is working very hard behind the scenes to get those names handed over immediately. that all of the elements to this on there as well about troops, b with cold air is allowed to recover. i'd say you recover it inverted kobus that certainly because the body has been filed, if it is right, the soldiers, while apparently us yes. are and show this is a soldier killed in the 2014 war that's 11 years ago. so he was not going to be part of the release in the 1st phase of $32.00 hostages, whose names we have. his body was part of the 2nd phase where you have

a lot of deceased bodies that were going to be handed over then orange y'all. actually i was in garza covering the 2014 ward together with some meet our camera by and we heard over the loudspeakers of the most we were doing lives outside chief hospital, have mass announcing that they had captured and his radio soldier and the people celebrated 2014 was the most crucial war until now. so this is the exact soldier, apparently, according to these really army, and the internal security of a service is the shouldn't. but according to intelligence, they managed to locate the body of this soldier held since 2014, his family has been informed. so yes, that is the latest in the hours that was released just before that cease fire was due to start. well, we did. this is a very fluid situation that could move in one direction or another over the next few hours. stephanie, of course, will be coming back to you, a full days updates as time progresses. thank you. loved think us is a full, but it's really, i'm positive and consul general to give your key expects to see sign to come into

effect very soon. i of all much more anxious and worried about the next few days and weeks than i am about the actual commencement of the sea fire. it will happen because both sides. uh, i need it to happen because both sides may pledges to the intermediaries called power egypt and the united states. so this will happen, the fact that the names of these early kept is, i'm to be released have not been divulged by how much it is you know, is not as nerve wracking for the families and nerve wracking for everyone and hope . but this will not be real the deal the next few weeks. that's a whole different challenge from the very beginning. israel demanded from us to uh um, publish the names of those it is holding captive then it, it was asked how much was asked by israel to at least provide the names of those who are like, how much refused to do that twice. now that we're into an agreement of the, the,

you know, the very basic and fundamental bank i'm such an agreement is to give the names of those that you intends to release. now the technical problems about this, i imagine with a degree of certainty, have to do with how much is either breakdown of the chain of communications or as you correspondence uh, correctly, uh, said, uh the, the uh, the upper hand. you and the people in how much have using cell phones. so a lot of times which can take less than a few seconds, takes a few hours. now this plan has been resolved yesterday or the day before, but what can i say? the nature of these agreement, you have to remember uh that, that, you know, in, in, in every such agreement, however implacable, the enemies are, however, they despise and hate each other. there needs to be once you reach disagreement,

there needs to be a level of goodwill and an element of trust 9 there exists here so, so this is, this is almost inevitable. these kind of misunderstandings or i'm not complying with time tables and so on. victoria gave me takes a look back at 15 months of is really a tax on palestinians. the the will run goes. it did not stalls. on october the 7th 2023. it began in 9048 with the 1st expulsion of palestinians from the land and israel's occupation of palestine mass now submitted to your ration. alexis slowed on october. the 7th at around 6 30 am local. it'd been planned use in advance with one overall. she can go to focus the world's attention on israel's occupation. the mass load attack was as swift as it was brutal. 1139 is where these will killed

251 will capture. many will kills at the hands of their own military use. they foot back during the tales of the day and investigation by the is where the newspaper horwitz was clear. israel used the hannibal doctrine choosing to kill its own people rather than have them captured on october. the 8th is world class. the state of war includes out $300000.00 reserves. it's day today is our destruction of how mass and the return of the captives. then defense minister announces a complete siege of gaza. salvation becomes a weapon of who knows what the leading look. so it's a lot of i have order to complete siege on the gaza strip. there will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is close. come we have flashing human animals and we are acting accordingly. dylan's comment cements israel's as cheat. this is north of the

mass, but on the palestinian people between the noise and the 25th of october. israel pounds, gaza boy at land and sea. on the 26th, it sends in ground troops as israel attacks refugee camps and civilian infrastructure, capital egypt, in the us, try to negotiate to see sign the desktop mounts. then on november the 24th, the break, 3, a full day ceasefire was announced. initially it's seen as a success. it's when you twice in total 50 captives and a $150.00 palestinian prisoners are released. but minutes after the c storm expires on december, the 1st israel redeemed it through the desktop, rises the guys that he's becoming go get a view out for children. the international community led by the united nations, begins to cool as a genocide. the systematic destruction of a people is rel,

then to class the un agency for palestinian refugees a terrorist organization. and says the u. n. is anti semitic. a march the 26th last year, the u. n. refugee agency publishes a report entitled, an estimate of a genocide. israel rejects the report as does its main international back of the united states. on december, the 29th south africa brings a case of genocide against israel in the international court of justice, the quote degrees, that is a case to be answered. human rights organizations agree, it is a genocide and submit details reports. 4 and yet israel continues its assault everyone from aid workers to join this women and children are in the firing line. israel has real keep wide moving, gaza forcing palestinians into the center and south of the strip. it would take more than 39 years to attend the funeral a day for every palestinian child kills. no. so how much flight to norton as

a whole or an age worker or a generalist? a child? victoria gates in b. l. g as in golf, that is becoming a graveyard for children. you just heard that from the un chief and he said that in the 1st month of the war since october of 2023 is really a tax of killed mold and $18800.00 children. unless many young survivors pub, at least scout with any basic medical services available in schools, destroyed girls as young people facing uncertain future. lena actually has the story. they've witnessed death loss and destruction. the children of cause a bearing, the brunt of israel's war. children make up nearly half of the population and the besieged strip. and do you want has described it as the most dangerous place in the world to be a trial? well, we want to be a month into the war. they pleaded for protection,

saying all they wanted was to live as other children live doing what they're desperate calls for help went on hurt, and the bombs did not stop. since then at least 44 percent of the palestinians killed in this war have been children for those who survive the scar stretch far beyond the physical or something like this. know that we're never going to change the aerospace and get any doubt many have lost one or both parents. nearly 19000 are now orphans. and from the horrors, the for a grim acronym emerged, w. c, n s. s. wounded child, no surviving family, marked on the tiny bodies of those who survive. many other children are names for

life. health officials say child m. p t 's account for 18 percent of all recorded amputation cases. in garza garza now has the highest number of child m p cheese per capita anywhere in the world. many are you losing their lives in scenarios such as this. the undergoing surgeries without anesthesia, their scores are a permanent reminder of the ones that will outlast any ceasefire. but amid all the destruction, children and gaza claim to hold as fragile as it might be longing for a return of childhood stolen by genocide. the novel all play as a 0, i was on the island is fall butte assess, enjoys this off on the, on the why she comes in gaza misspelling. good to have you with us on out just or thanks for your time. being 8 agencies who's been helping the palestinians may have

been relieved that they will also have sci fi in the all think i'm show that's going to happen. as many of our commentators have said in the next few hours, the problem that you do face is getting not paid into the region where you are and it's distribution in an area that has multiple the absolutely, you know, the challenges ahead are tremendous. the ceasefire is a very, very critical 1st step that is necessary to save children's lives. young children continue to, to be killed here and goss, i included officer to announcement of the deals as secure as these fire. at least 30 children have been bored at killed since, since that deal was a mountain. so it is a critical 1st step. but when it comes to their, um, the norm is suffering and, and the total deprivation that they face the ceasefire on its own isn't going to take that suffering a way that there's tremendous challenges here inside gosh, invitation to the security environment. so it was both,

i just jump in that because i'll take that one by one if you don't mind because we're talking about a safe spot. is it a holding pattern right now, while it is an agency like yourselves, have to deal with the israelis all the outside of dogs because you need that the mission to move your a is a conversation happening right now or has it been happening for the last few days, as far as your colleagues can tell you that the united nations are indeed and includes some touch with all the parties. know us here on the grounds and guys and we, we expertise, we, we implement. but those conversations are indeed happening. they are taking place, it's a very weird limbo to be in here in o. my wasi at $830.00 just about an hour ago. there were children and other families out. they started celebrating, i saw children waving and cheering and dancing. but at the same time, i could hear continued shooting very heavy weapons, i can hear explosions,

i can hear drones flying over. so clarity the financing is i'm going to cease fires and barriers. and that's absolutely heartbreaking for these children it's, it's nerve wracking for the families, but it's hard breaking because these children over the past couple of days, they've been detailing to me all the things they would close to the moment that a a ceasefire starts. they want to go back home and see what's left of their bedroom . they want to sleep in the room that they want to find the toys that they've had to leave behind when the war started. i'm so it's a very um, odd moments to be and i'm betting supplies to my own colleagues. we have supplies ready to, to, to be brought into gas. we have the equivalent of supplies of 1300 truck loads of supplies. and here in all my while i see my, my colleagues from the supply team, they are on stand by there waiting for the news of the seas. firestick effects will jump into our cars. i will head over to the crossings. effect show supplies show. indeed, of course you will do that, but a get a we,

we have to sort of talk about the mechanisms that are around getting aid into the region that has to be easy. has it for your agency or any other. i mean, under was the overarching, you an agency that would help everybody to make sure that they would actually get that re day. that'd be how difficult is it to get the aide is because it is roadblocks where you say the outside because it absolutely the, the operating environment for humanitarian organizations like unice has been otters simply hasn't been there throughout this more the, the total in security, but also the destruction of infrastructure here in gaza has made it extremely difficult for us to bring supplies in, but not just at also to be able to distribute them um, to families in need. throughout garza, i know that a ceasefire might take effect um some,

some of the the constrains will indeed be removed, but many others will persist. i just mention the complete the destruction really is of infrastructure here in gosh, the, the roads and facilities that are still going techs are actually badly damaged. and just to give one example, when, when we go hours in our cars to go was a project size is quite hard to maneuver around because of the falls into rows. big . so the congestion and that will continue to um, to remain brave challenge here. and for, for samples you church, all those roads won't be patched off for a nice the warehouse and best they had 3 boards needs to be restored. if we are to scale up. but the number of supplies that we want to bring in, people also need more have warehouses. i would also like to resolve it because it's just uh, can i just, i just jump in that because the communication is getting a little bit wildly. so i just wanna ask you to the final question in terms of the

needs and wants right now with palestinians in the middle of winter, especially for children, won't tell you it is required. what aid is the board a waiting to come in to help them? and i'm the 8 that needs to enter gaza immediately, really stretches across different areas. we talk about shelter, warm shelter, because people live in, make shift tens that don't keep families safe, safe, and protected against the cold. they don't keep families warm, we need food and nutrition items to come in. hunger has been increasing throughout guys a very severe hunger, and there's tens of thousands of children with a tube bill nutrition. we need some items to repair the water infrastructure system here. cuz left to clean water is virtually non existent. we need hygiene items for, for people to be able to wash themselves even things like a bar of soap. and that's become hard to find. and when it isn't,

the market is usually not affordable. um, but some of the 8 that children and gas i need is no 8 that we can bring onto trucks. every single child in gaza today is deeply, deeply scarred and traumatized by what they've witnessed. they've gone through the things that no child should ever have to witness, and they are in dire need of psycho social support and the return to normalcy. the ability to pull back test planes flying over fidelity to go back to sponsor but she missed them so, but that's normal safety and the psycho social supports should be able to assess roma. and the experiences that they have lived was all the about in the communications specialist with unicef. it's been good to speak to file bossy thanks for joining us. thanks for having me. now this thing was proposed last may, but the parties rhinegold have a several closes before. finally reaching consensus, spending smith breaks down what was finally agreed phase one of the sci fi deal.

we'll see the release of psalm is ready to comp, tips, palestinian prisoners, the garage.
