the. ringback the good at last to get the young children. it's a horn, i mean come up the the the back by the time i get into the, to break out in the middle east. bring us piece i can and now to see spar

positive bridge. the hello, i'm sammy's. i down the welcome to our special coverage of the garza seas 5 coming off in the show. is right in captives in gauze of being released to write cross con boy on its way to receive them as positive as these 5 do with some of the celebrations. and guys are also the see saw between a massive as well goes into effect officer, a delay, the displaced the palestinians beginning returning home through the rubble on shoals, about fine men to carry in a trunks and to gauze her as part of the deal release for 1900000 palestinians

on the brink of salvation. time 0 venue from our rooftop studio here in washington, dc in just over 24 hours. donald trump returns to the white house. we'll be looking at what that means for the guys a ceasefire. and the other foreign policy challenges facing the incoming president . the welcome to our special coverage of the city is far in garza off the 15 months of israel's will. that kills nearly $47000.00 palestinians, while the bombs have now fallen silence. the deal between is right and how mass came into effect 6 hours ago, nearly 3 hours later than initially planned. that is where you go to an i'm us, we're told, is releasing 3 civilian captives on this 1st day. and phase of the agreement

on stein black roaming gunman and emily delmonte, a total of $33.00 out of about $95.00 captives are due to be released in the initial phase in exchange is right is expected to free, 90 palestinian female and child prison is from jails in the coming hours, natalie, 2000 detainees are set to be released over a 6 week period. all right, let's take 2 life pictures. we're taking you now to sort i a square in gaza, where we understand what we're looking at. obviously, what appears to be how mass a sold is with the green headband. and this is a release situation happening now. we're on the stand for those 3 is really

captives which are in the process of being handed over as part of this phase one of the seas 5 deal. let's just listen in for a 2nd. okay. no crowds of people have been gathering too in hostages. squire and tennessee. so suppose the families of the freed captives and those still waiting throughout the war and gaza. tens of thousands of held weekly protests across is route to pressure . these right the government to reach a deal with him us to bring the captives home and buses have arrived at the also the prison in the occupied westbank. they'll transfer the 90 palestinian prison is approved for release as part of the ceasefire agreement. we have our correspondence live on both sides talked about assume joins us from alpha in gaza. but 1st, standing by for us is to some codes. now she's in our mind because these are all

this band delta 0 from operating in the country. so how does that start with the live pictures which we dipped into just a moment ago. and it seems like the release is on the way right now. all of those 3 is riley captives. what are we hearing from is right, the officials about that of the whole within the last hour, there were reports so that the international committee of the red cross was already en route to retrieve these rarely captives from him. spiders, but israel had said they still not have been received by the red cross, but this image is similar to what we have seen in the last ceasefire. back in november of 2023, the red cross was given the captive and then they were then handed to is really forces at a specific location, but has been given to them were, are, there are still is really forces present. but after that they will be taking

immediately to is really forces for identification, followed by air lifted to a hospital in the central part of israel will. they will remain a for at least 4 days for psychological and medical evaluations. after being re united with their families, but these really present services as well as really courses have said that they've been preparing for this all week. in fact, these really military deb to this operation, wings of freedom, waiting to receive the 33 captives that will be released and the 1st phase of this deal. and the, as you're talking that i'll just point out to view, is that what we're seeing on the left side of the screen in that box of the live pictures coming in from guys out of what we believe to be. that is the process of a handover of the 3 is ready, the captives. and you can see the from us members there with the 3 head bands that trying to control the proud and the situation full. that's kind of

a process that we're seeing live here on now to 0 on hand. while, while we watch that, we've got to remember, of course, that this is part of a process, right? take us through the process and what happens next. that's right, this is a processing which these really military has outlined several different parts of it after the captains are given to the red cross, they then go to the hands of as really forces for identification. and then they're air lifted to hospitals where they will be reunited with their families. but it's worth mentioning, it took a while to get here. it took a while to get to this point to get to these really is these really government to agree to this deal that was more than 3 hours delayed because these role says how much did not hand over the least of 3 captives who were to be released today around 4 pm local time, but none the less,

these really military has said that it is prepared. but all of those mechanisms were in place to receive the captives and that there is a slight presence of his really forces in those buffer zones. and that's in order to receive the captive, there are 3 different points along because of order in which they can be received. then it's also worth mentioning. but after the captives are brought back to israel is when the release of palestinian prisoners from his rarely jails will begin on that point. and once, once again, i'll just remind you as we're looking at life pictures these uh, historic pictures i think is a historic moment. we can cite site that we're seeing the process of a hand over those 3 is really captives being orchestrated by some aspect clearly still on the ground. and they appear to be in charge of the situation that in gaza as they tried to control the crowds for the handover of those 3 is writing hostages or captives. i'm just having to on that last point you mentioned, we understand this been

a delay by the israelis now in hand to give the names of the palestinian prisoners that all set to be handed over to walk us through that. what does that mean? well there was a delay in those names, but within the last couple of hours israel did release a list of 90 names as agreed upon in the cease fire framework of 90 palestinians to be released from is really jail $68.00 of them are women. 22 children and you have to remember that many of these prisoners who are going to be released or being held under administrative detention. it's a controversial policy that israel puts in place against palestinians, arresting them with no charge or trials. so we're going to see some of those being released from is really prisons. a bunch of the mechanisms for their release are going to be different this time because it's really forces will be conducting their transfer. these really present service has said they want to limit any sort of expressions of joy among palestinians. so those who are being released to occupied

east jerusalem, you can expect the heavy police presence around them. you can see the image is the same way. they were back in november of 2023 when palestinians were going back to their homes unoccupied. east jerusalem. there was a lot of these really police friends in our teams were on the ground there. and we're not even able to feel most of the time because of the restrictions that were put in place by is really police by these really military to not show any expressions of joy, but that prisoner released will ensue once these captives are back in israel after their air lifted from near the guns of periphery to a hospital in central israel. okay. and the salt is hold that all day thing else on the situation. we're going to think so now we're going to go live to, i'll just see here is abraham sally. he is actually at sort i a square which we are looking at in these lines pictures. abraham took us through the scenes that we all seeing right now live on al jazeera. i am right now. i'm biased

square in dogwood city, there's thousands of civilians are. 6 the right now to what the issue change, your staff said yeah, yeah, yeah. it's to dallas and all sort of thing is right now waiting for this thing to happen. i see. and what's the last and this is a moment actually that we have been waiting for for so long a more now seeing what people pretend to happen is as the war ended on this uh, switching deal is being in it right now. uh how so i uh where cells to be on. uh, be there present their joy is i see right now i just saw on the bridge the band been billed for the service that you changed as well as the red towards

the prepared right now to repeat the pin. the pin here. 03. 04. wow. well, but here's the over. well, here's where i was seeing where in this moment for so long was now um, how much do you have and this is all over the place right now. uh, this is actually happening. and also if his mom is leaving john as far as the war, that the choice is a far as all over the place right now, this is out for myself to use our experience in and living through. uh, i see yours now. understand the reduced uh, now would be 4 days to change and today years are just uh, you're still in the lab and uh, as i said,

it does go moment you have your doctor. now the lady, your february and we are looking at. let me just tell you what we're seeing. the pictures of clearly jubilant crowds. inside i a square in garza, i mean dispersed in that as crowds, we see white vans. they've got some kind of siren going. we to believe that those of the vehicles counting these ready captives or is it not clear? yes. yes, darian lady got this done. yeah, it would be the, the change with the word because right now, but the over as wow, the way you got delayed minutes extra change just for minutes. yeah. and uh people are just all over. well the wow good. so the process, the process didn't move,

it was planned for like your go years are now gathering her on the card. so the problem going on me, it was now. it will say i could please right now it will take place for sure. maybe in the next couple of minutes, but not. and there's over crowded. play. maybe the move the mirrors and then it keeps like you said, where the stand off the smouldering to change the cap good would really process. all right, we're going to leave it there. let's think about him, felina, and let's kill donalds with all the couples who needs joining us from the scene, gaza, and thought i was watching the scenes as i'm sure many palestinians. all i'm with this is what night full approaching now in gaza. just tell us about the move,

how people feel at this point of the 15 months of bombardment as well, in fact, to the implementation, sammy of the following agreements that took place earlier today it has really sparked huge wave of hope and excitement among i was sitting with some according sense of decision regarding having potential collapse for the ongoing concepts. but what we have seen since the ad, the house this morning, even to now he's moved a scene. so it's happened is for civilian celebrating. who emerged from the evacuation shows is, and right now they are in open areas. i'm, i'm not one so like a dean road and i come see around me. lots of people are watching and we are celebrating the progress that was made earlier regarding the deal to now there has been a color seem to flow of humanitarian aid supplies to the gaza strip. you have seen defense, humanitarian aid can voice breaking the way to it's the same sort areas have gone

to sit down to the to the north as well. and there has been also more information we have got from eye witnesses that the vehicle is affiliated to the international committee of the red gross have gone through this road to the goals of cities particular to us totally a junction where my colleague, abraham has been reporting just a couple of minutes ago, and they're expected to return from that way again to be handed over. i mean, here is very comp since to the eastern side, but absolutely that must be charged with happiness with joyful moments. but everyone who prays that deceased by it do will continue and last time to bring blade trop department at peace despite a number of violations that were made earlier today led to the depth and the killing of some palestinians from the injury of dozens others. in fact, the stomach, a tonic toll costs through what is happening today with the reports of many palestinians wanting to return home, heading out on the streets with so many,

with so much of the population. having been trapped in the south and squeezed into small pockets for so long how much of a mass exodus of people mount ching is going on survivors of what? 36 you and next book hold on november, the 16th 2023, a genocide. the making as well as i'm speaking to right now. certainly i can see cause a heating to the main house. the thing areas of rough like that to be likely to somebody to over the course of the past 6050 months and apparently since the hours of this morning civilians while absolutely e got to return back to check what left of the homes we can see at the moment like now a car loaded wave. we've passed no positions on it since i'll have been even preaching her ex wife to the central areas of kansas city where civilians are trying to,

to check their own personal belongings and businesses that have been widely targeted by the is by the military, different ways of people have a broke a broken the way earlier today to rough estimate, each of the eastern areas of con eunice to jerry. bye bye. they are unable to return to the north of the strips, due to the is rarely a current military presence. and it was the room for a to and even the return to rock last city. they were not able to get a trace of old, closer to the so called philadelphia cordial because it is very minute, 3 times send troops. aust, to a stations along side of the philadelphia corridor without witnessing any sort of withdrawal. what, but what has been practically happening on the ground is a partial withdrawal by the east valley route forces. and i'm to the area and a troops continue to flow to the goal is just the road. that's what we are seeing that the moment even there is a remarkably deployments just for all of us,

understand the reality bets out. there is a very remarkable deployment of the security forces on the ground to guarantee a safe transfer of this humanitarian. a cool voice to the main headquarters of the human to terry and agencies. as today has been quite ma, with serious about amends and are very growing sentiment of happiness and remarkable improvement have been seen on the ground regarding that you many tab in situation, especially about the united nations and the uh, the uh definitely will be upset many times that they are still different and humanitarian 8 keyboards, which are expected to be distributed for families. i'm displaced people of course, many areas throughout their humanitarian, $0.08. so apparently savvy civilians are right now focusing on returning back to their houses until they go to get the chance to read them back to the given the fact or talk you about more than 700000 palestinians have been displaced from

nothing garza and are waiting for the sudden the dates of the truce in order to return back to the north, which would be a very tiny points in the course of the o. orange ongoing pool that has witnessed and earlier today this morning. okay. things to thought a couple. as soon the reporting to us formed off, let me just talk you through some of the pictures that we're getting here and we're showing you on now to 0. what we're looking at right now are exclusive pictures coming in $12.00 to 0. the live situation and so i saw, i saw a square in gone. so that is the area where the 3 is really kept. is it being handed over by palestinian factions? you understand the going to be handed over to the red cross and then be handed over to these railings. and that is the process the gathering that we're looking at at the same time. and now the gathering is happening. this is hostage is split in tel aviv. what people have come out to show support for the families of some of

those captives. it will be, of course, is not lost on you is the amount of tension that this has generated in as well over the last, almost a year and a half. the demands from the families are relatives of some of those captives and the supporters upon these ready the government to do a deal to get those captives free. and this is the historic moment we are witnessing that the assign of hope that's how a medic from the world health organization describe the c's fine. but the u. n. agencies under no illusions of a daunting task that lies the heading garza, there are chronic shortages of food fuel, medical supplies, as well as outbreaks of disease. and the risk of famine remains high as riley costs and explains the williams health organization. along with other un agencies are

planning to send between 50600 trucks into gaza every day. over the coming weeks. those trucks are already queuing at the southern rough across it. that's a huge jump from the 40 to 50 trucks that had been reaching gaza in recent months. it's doable, but it's only realistic to believe that the, the $600.00 truck would be brought on the by the un all into an organization. the $600.00 would be realistic. if she would let the commercial floor go into gaza, the humanitarian situation had become so desperate that in september 15 major, a groups blamed israel's systematic aid obstruction and demanded international pressure. as of september 2024, they said 83 percent of required food aid did not reach gaza up from 34 percent in 2023. that meant palestinians went from having 2 meals on average per day to one

meal every other day. they estimated 50000 children aged between 6 months to 5 years old, required treatment from malnutrition. by the end of 2024. the new aim for the boost of aid is similar to the level reaching gaza before october 7th, 2023. and even then gaza was beset with shortages, riley carlson, l g 0. rosalia bowlin is from unicef, and she joins us now from milwaukee in gauze. a good to have you with us, rosalie. let's 1st start off with the aid that's been entering today. the hopes of getting as much as 600 trucks in today. are you aware of how many a trucks have been able to get in so far today? so it's too early to confirm the exact number of trucks that have brought in

supplies. i know that the unicef target for unicef alone was 50 trucks for today. i also know that quite a few of those trucks have made it into guys with supplies like walter winter clothes for babies and children, and then, and hygiene supplies, among other things. and we'll know later tonight, how many trucks exactly have entered. but 2 important observations here, um the trucks that now will be entering guys, so that shouldn't be unitarian 8 a loan. that is supposed to be a combination of unitarian, a trucks and trucks with commercial goods. and this is really important for the recovery of gaza. but also to address really to sky rocketing needs of um, families here in inside garza and the, the other observation i want to make is the trucks do not drive straight into a guy. so there is a, what we call a transshipment procedure at the border,

a back to back procedure where goods are scanned. so trucks arrive, i'm on the is really sized, the goods are, are scanned and once they're there, clear starting to load it on to trucks on the palestinian side in in size garza um, so fella. sting in trucks here in gas or bolt across into that. let me jump in rosalia and i'll ask you this question because we spoke about this yesterday, and i'm wondering if today's maybe a little bit clearer. has the process for transferring goods into gaza. has that that is really process being simplified by is ready authorities. it was one of the hurdles that you spoke about yesterday and so there's many different types of constrains whether procedures have been simplified. i think we only will know at the end of the day when we have a sense of the number of trucks that have come in, because that will be tested in to, to whether the procedure is has been expedited or not. there is an important number

of, of challenges that remain, including the fact that the almost full of causes infrastructure has been, has been destroys the roads that are still there. they're largely damaged, would love the holes in them. so it's hard for trucks to, to navigate that we fear of an important phone termination by mines and unexploded bombs unexploded ordnance of war. and there's another number of, of, of testicles that would still need to be addressed as well. okay, rosalia mullen from unicef. joining us from alamo, obviously in golf. so thank you so much for your time. thanks. now the seas 5 deal was proposed in may last year, but the policies rankled over several closes before reaching a consensus. then smith breaks down was was finally agreed. phase one of the sci fi deal will see the release of saw me is ready to comp tips palestinian

prisoners, the gradual withdrawal of israeli forces from central garza a search and humanitarian aid. i'm the return of display spot listings to the north of the strip. so the 3 is rarely comp davis will be released over a 6 week period is available for a almost 2000 palestinian prisoners on detaining 600 truckloads of humanitarian aid . a day will come into gauze. israel will withdraw from the next room, kara door palestinians living in northern gauze. i will be able to go to what's left of that holmes. now, when the last of the 33 captives are released on day 42 is riley forces will begin withdrawing from the philadelphia, colorado. this is a contentious pos of a deal for these really government negotiations. for phase 2 will begin on day 16. a phase one is expected to lead to the release of all remaining is rarely captives and more palestinian detainees, as well as a permanency spa. i'm

a complete to withdrawal of israeli forces. phase 3 will address the long term reconstruction of gaza, casa egypt. the united states will supervise the implementation of the deal, which could fault at any time if i have a side accuses be of a breaking the c spine. or they all say bailing is a full my is really justice minister who initiated the also piece process in the early 19 ninety's. you joins us now live from tel aviv good to have you with us. so 1st of all, let me read to you. you all see what best low spots rich, the minister of finance said in the statement published january 18th. yes. today, off to the capital to prove this deal he, he's published have said quote, unfortunately, we were unable to prevent this dangerous deal, but we insisted and we were able to insure through

a government decision in the cabinet and all the ways that the will would not end in any way, without that shaving its full goals, foremost among them, the complete destruction of how mice and gall. so when you listen to that, how wondering is it that perhaps that's in the administration will bail on this 1st phase one part, some of the captives are released when donald trump's presidency has been an old erase it. and this guy is, isn't doing getting minority 17 in the government. it was a huge mistake. so and it done, y'all to nominate team is a minister of finance and somebody who is responsible in, in some of the aspects of the. okay. but there was a, he's a very good friend, a, a already left the government eh, ben green. and that's good news. and i hope the to relieve the government. the also because he conditioned a he is

a remaining in the government by the return to wall. i don't think that because of feeding these when we return to wall a and a, you know, even just the look you know, on the t v and seeing that happy a. but his thing is into happy is rarely use it to be so easy for anybody on any site to renew that will just because they, we so the people will not follow that. i appreciate your confidence in the will of the people, but strategically looking in the unlikely this the, with the withdrawal the resignation of it's a model been give via the minister of national security. how much has that less? nothing. yeah.
