doctors without borders, say 50 wounded, came in at once. after an air strike reduced to jamalia refugee camp to revel. thousands have fled their homes to seek shelter elsewhere. but for people in this densely populated area, there are no safe hiding spaces. how is this our fault? what did my children do? there's no electricity, internet, food, or water. why? we suddenly found ourselves displaced, going from a car to a hospital to a street. one person was coming to stay with us. they got hit by an air strike. another person asked us to come, stay with them. they got targeted. i'm in the street. where should i go? i don't, i don't know. or even un facilities have been hit. uh you and facility is cool, sheltering the displays, but i have been directly hit um

a few days ago. um and uh, overall we are hosting on some 170000 people in the over 18 schools on other facilities across the gulf has stripped. these are families who have floods the selling and the compartment is real says it has destroyed the homes of many members of homos. the militant islam is group viewed as a terrorist organization by the you and the us as night fall approaches in gaza. millions of people will have to wait for morning in near total darkness, in their homes and hospitals, while they're essential supplies are running out. international rights groups are calling for the opening of humanitarian court or even secretary general, antonio gutierrez says that a spillover from the conflict between israel and him aust must be avoided. he also

said today that in life critical supplies, including food and water, must be allowed to get through to the people in goss. i am concerned about the recent, the exchange of fi it along the blue line. as recent report to the tax from solved and living on april 12th product is and those we have a need for us over those boxes to avoid any further escalation and spillover. i call for the me the 3 leaves of all israel. we also g l in gaza. civilians must be protected at all times. international humanitarian law must be respected and the pelts about 2 120000 fellow seedings. i'll shelter the 92 old roof facilities across. got so as you and i me see. so the law spits all schools and clinics must never be targeted. you and stuff are working good. all of

the clock to support the people of gaza. and i deeply regret that some of my colleagues have already paid the ultimate price gross a live saving supplies, including for food and water, must be a log into gaza. we need the rapids and any visits you, many daddy and excess. know, i want to send egypt for its constructive engagement to facilitate too many times in excess through the rough crossings, and to make the allotted shed parts available for critical assistance. there is no time to means every moment accounts with the white house. it says that the us is working with israel and egypt in an attempt to set up safe core doors for civilians and gosh, of egypt. president also says that he is intensifying efforts to contain this conflict. the roof of crossing on the egyptian border was the last hope for johnsons, who wanted to flee. that crossing is now closed and verified footage you see here

from social media claims to show a large crowd near the crossing, while bombs fall nearby united nations. as the bombardment has displaced more than 260000 gardens. with this crossing shots, there is little chance of escape for any of the 2300000 residents of the gaza strip . well, i'm joined now by a few journalists, but here, i mean, she is in cairo tonight. but here what more do we know about the situation at the roof of border crossing? so at this moment, the latest information we have is that it has been closed. both today and most have yesterday, since it was headed by 3 is really air strikes within 24 hours. it's the only access point into an alta because of that is not controlled by israel. it's the only potential humanitarian cord there at the moment. between monday evening and tuesday afternoon is really aircraft launched 3 on the strikes on the palestinian

side of the crossing. what we have is that i work concerts yesterday said the junction employees were evacuated from the area. dozens of past indian families who had been trying to get back into calls are returned. talk to you just like is that has said that it intends to keep the crossing open for aids of foreign ministers. and i shall piece that today. the government is committed to getting to monetary in a through these a huge push for making sure that it's delivered. we know at least one shipment of medical aid that caught that to come through from the egyptian red crescent on monday before the 1st air strikes. but we don't know what that would look like moving forwards. yeah, the view in chief gutierrez today, think egypt for the humanitarian aid that has already been provided. it's a gaza. but was he thinking for things in the past or was he also talking about presence and moving forward? i think it was definitely um both. so it's the push that either tells me the best

phone to get to monitor in a through. it's a commitment they've made to make sure that keeps going through with that. it's restarted. it just hasn't right here. that's uh, the mentor in the border crossing should be open for humanitarian names, but hasn't made any commitment as far as civilian civilians coming through as refugees, being hosted in are and what are you hearing from egyptian officials in terms of any possibility of mediation talks of being maybe conducted by egypt. mm hm. so, so far, very let's and unfortunately in egypt has how this house has it has to has of this role as a mediator very, very seriously. it remains one of the only 4. it says that both is really i'm her, miss officials will listen to precedence. i'm just like the her cc and foreign ministers are an actual key and been on a non stop sort serious correspondence. but there is nothing to suggest that there has been any headway on a ceasefire on negotiations. it's k book is to propose true to says try to broker

any kind of ceasefire, particularly if they got somebody carrying a through. but, but unfortunately there is nothing. yes, we are used to such as being very tight lips about that until they're shared with us on that. but as far it inspires as a desk to rise as there's a little on the table, a feature list. but either, i mean, joining us tonight. kyra, for the latest from egypt, the hero, thank israel's, a prime minister benjamin netanyahu has announced the formation of an emergency government with opposition. leader benny got the administration as planned. the last, as long as the conflict with a mouse militants continues that then yahoo will also lead a 3 man more cabinet with guns who is a former army chief. they will be joined by the current defense minister, the prime ministers, extreme right and ultra orthodox jewish allies. they will remain in the government, but no bill unrelated to the war against them off will be advance during the

conflict or several is really good. what's community is came under attack by him aust militants on saturday among them where the cabal, as a good boats near the border with gods, where about a 100 people were killed dozens more taken hostage. most residents of the agricultural community were young. families with children got food, houses, wrecked cars and families killed in the homes. the is really millet tree reclaims that cause i keep books from home on 3 days off to the mid attends 1st storm to the village. knew that goes a buddha where they began setting fire to houses indiscriminately shooting residents and taking thousands of people hostage

just normal citizens that want to take their breakfast. and this all of these children and the cut some of the heads. it's worth 15 to see, it's very difficult to see that, but we must remember who is the enemy and what the elevation. mission is, the justice, where is the right side and all the world needs to be behind survivors. it's be a tackling clause. i have been brought to kibbutz trying new tele vive residents here, a trying to help them with the grief and to process what they experienced. that they came into every home. they came into every, every room, every place, those they could in to take out and murder. they would burn the house with them inside so they can die. they shot children, babies, all people, anywhere,

and no one was safe and that the 1st victim was a 9 year old woman who was sitting on the porch. so let them come in and she got shot and we were in this panic room for i think about over 30 hours. and then they broke uh, windows starting, it started shooting everywhere. i think at some point they saw at the door of the times it is unclear as they will be able to return home to call as a small community described by a resident as a piece of paradise. no noise in ruins, like join now by it's going to that one of israel's most prominent authors. his story is about the paradoxes of modern is rarely society of captivated an entire country. mister credit is good to have you with this this evening. i understand that you were in tel aviv when a mazda militants launched their terror attacks on saturday. tell me what went

through your mind when you heard about what was happening. and when in the beginning the know me, my wife, we woke up to a norma. um, you know we're, we've been fluid out of a real quick me said a tech so. so we after the, the launch and you know, in the me size we went and bought the coffee and a take awake, a fast thinking a zeta. it's more of the same and, and then very quickly, you start to get getting news about basically hundreds in a of terrorist entering gauge a keep which is in villages and towns and murdering people. and it was the spitting go, fake you both because people were courting dakota vision saying we need help that people burning down our house. come and save us. and not only need the me

to pete style to arrive, but the government provided no answer. nathaniel released the movie 6 hours later in which he has a perfectly make up and very nicer and says that we are ready to work with all those people dealing with issues. you know, in the 1st, i would say, 48 hours or at least, you know, for the 6 hours, no problem if member went to any of the states to do is, you know, the people like a, a, me to still south minister of transportation. you know, people who could just give them some kind of a feeling of leadership. we're not there. it's a, the extreme extreme right. when the government basically disintegrated with people from the process offering to us is to 2 families in distress. it's, it's, it's strange. it's like if you do this country and it's good i, i couldn't hear the disappointment. i'm in your voice. i mean you feel like you're

government the state. let you down. um, at the moment when it should have been protecting you. what does that mean then for your confidence in this emergency government that was announced today? i will 1st of what i want to say that you know a, i'm a 56 year old guy. i lead during my life news, right surgery. and i've been for quite a few was i've never been in a situation like that because i think that for the past 20 years, nathaniel had built this kind of system of is it containing, as transcending to come across as an identity you know, to, to defend a student of dorothy and basically as some kind of way of making sure that nobody's staying in state would sleep through now these a, these i do of bribing that there. but, and that i think we did, they have and continued to denver, a exploded, you know, face, you know, and, and there are, there are more than files and civilian dead. and there are more than 2000

a civilians wanted. and in this saving, you know, was the government that you cited against everyone against this pilots were foot and the soldiers were fighting now to a to several off a guest by the you know, this is the same government that said to government to is it ministers any to, to by doing mind your own business texture, you know, and, and the end to end the end. and so i'm saying that we were entering this conflict with the very damaged leadership. we've met in the i'll basically caring for his drive and will, is greg winters. this is dance with the devil, mr. care. i just want to ask you before we run out of time, where does this dance with the devil? where does it lead be? is really people, i mean, what's the end game here in europe in know, so i want to say something very simple for the past 20 years. they meet at least had we've, we've come us on to one side and we've made a new on the other end,

you just went to use the power steering got nothing. people died from both sides and we stagnated this anyhow. said that the stipulation is good. it gets in promised if nothing worse, we come now when it the roles you know, face, i would want to, to imagine that when this was over. mm hm. we would have a region without how much and we've out anytime, you know, i want to say to 15 people, i'm not come us. yes. and believe me, the ease ready people out of not very she strike bank. we're or switching the in these very to government. ok. and both of people deserve better group presentation . you know, these tragedy is the most ruined and bang for wake up for one can imagine. but the to wake up court and you know, and the things that were before, were you not to be a game where your, your message is certainly being heard loud and clear is really author edgar cadets . we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us and sharing your thoughts. so media, these are ideas messages that i think

a lot of people in the world are anxious to hear. thank you. thank you very much. as we heard the united nations secretary general, antonio gutierrez, is calling on him off to release all hostages that are being held in gonzo abbas is abducted dozens of people including children and the elderly. many hostages were taken at an outdoor music festival. now some of the families still have no news about their loved ones. sharon lift shit, fears at her elderly parents were among those taken hostage in the initial attack. she joins me now from london. it's good to have you with this. i wanna thank you for taking the time to just share the story in what has to be very challenging and, and horrible time can. can you tell us more about what you know and what you don't

know about what may have happened to your parents and the evidence of going all the time because they're starting to hear the phone just as i was want to thing. oh, just seen an article about to my templates in which they actually described the way google them in houses, but was by taking the gas pipe and putting it into the house and then living it on both. and so you have the guns chamber there and it's not for nothing that we're facing. what is in effect, the biggest muscle car of june since the 2nd world war. this scale is very hard to comprehend. oh, we know we don't, we are not able to beautiful names, but my community consisted of 400 people and about

a 2 are missing now. many, many more did. so in neighboring quickbooks as well, they released a band aid of a $108.00 said it's a bigger books, but we are looking at numbers. that's all very hard to understand. and we're looking at children and babies, and the people being disconnected like my mother from the oxygen machine in order to take, are they looking at 85 year old people like my mom and like have friends? yes. and like dozens of others, this is the whole dining room being taken off and taking off to glasser. what kind of support have you received from is really authorities this people are, you know, i'm talking to german tv. yeah. oh, it's a jamie right now. and you know, this people, this is a call room. yeah,

they were understand the only defending themselves. you, the citizens, peace loving citizens. father is the defending for their own lives. so more than 7 hours, it took hours for the for this is for the army to come up through hours. it is horrifying. what has happened? we are now the 160 people where it's actually to, to the south to use where we are to pull their children and grandchildren and brothers and parents that did not experience it. we are trying our best to come together. suppose those people support them as kind of just getting them to functioning this thing in the hotel. there's not even the possibility of grieving while they are and that's what to me,

but i am not here to talk to you about the i'm here because i want to continue to focus the attention of a 3 different human being to the immediate truth. this is not possible, this elderly people and children and mothers, and they should be immediately ready. do you think that the chances of that happening are helped or hurt by the fact that your country's military is preparing to you know, take soldiers and move them in to the gaza strip? the biggest incursion that you've seen since 2014 i don't the top political at the moment because i don't have that actually. i have to is there any chance to defend the medicine being held hostage in the gaza street? i don't know how to do a consolation. i know that the boeing is also funding on this it. mm hm. so
