the, the old we can be the generation, the ends that feel good. malaria must die. so millions can live the using dw news from the my name's phil guy. let me update you on the top story of the unfolding crisis in gaza. and israel palestinians in northern garza has started to move south after these, right in the military and gave them gave more than a 1000000 of the 24 hours to lead at the north of the territory. un says movement on that scale would be impossible. a mass was close on investigates,

in gauze and to stay in the homes very well. israel is moving more vis ministry to the board that i had often expected invasion of gauze. my sense is runs heavy bombardment of the gaza strip and the last 24 hours has killed 13 hostages, including foreigners, held by the group listing and official signed more than $1700.00 people, including more than 500 children have been killed in the battalion. atria attacks was i say, how masses told people in northern causes to stay ports. despite that evacuation warning, the theme from german public television produce this report from inside the territory . this causes a hotel has become a refuge for civilians. diplomats in general is a place of relative safety. so back from the surrounding residential blocks in this densely populated area of the billing with smoking,

dust from is really missile strikes. is really media say 3600 targets in gaza. of soap of being hit size is obtained promised. she does what she can to treat the injured administrating 1st aid in the hope that's an ambulance will come to take the casualties to hospital and heavy. and at the moment we have 4 wounded people. here. we've tried our best to stabilize them, but we need an ambulance as quickly as possible. there just aren't any. even waiting for 5 hours are ready. i mean on how and if i'm a salad. hardly anyone does venture onto the street. one camera man gets as far as the hotel and friends

nearby housing takes a direct hit the moment slate to another strike. this time the shockwave reaches the hotel lobby and how much spite is couldn't retreat to an extensive network of tunnels. but there's no way for the civil population to go. palestinian officials say more than 1500 people have been killed, including the 500 children. the humanitarian situation is getting more desperate. is israel blocks power and water supplies? fuel to generate is running low. in the duct and is repeated, the missile strikes the

whole situation out there is in human, we urgently need who monetary and intervention foreigners may be stuck here. but we also need a way out. these are civilians, here, mothers and children because even with a safe way out, we wouldn't know where to go. the apartment model size and many others remain as the hotel. no one knows how long they will be, the palestinian civilians. and these ran the hostages dropped inside gaza overseas family members of innocent people called in the conflict feel powerless and brussels. whether using a european unions headquarters, these w's rosie perch. i've met some of those hoping and praying that their loved ones will make it out. after a moment of silence of israel's national anthem, it goes through quite crowds, outside the european parliament and brussels. we're here with the president of the

european council, the president of the european commission, and all of you as one to express, i was solid. i received inside a group of israelis bustles between meetings with parliamentarians, making the case for more action. we need to know i'm actually laser photos of loved ones, 11 of whom are presumed kidnapped by him. us look at these family. okay. they're not on these. riley's, many of them sion, she's a german citizen as well. we're really asking for the you to take responsibility and bring their citizens back home after the horrors. know the weight is like an ice thing. they burn the house, who's a cube everyone. and they took them and we're just trying to save whoever is to europe in union says age stands with israel,

but the block has also warned the country against blocking supplies to go. so cutting, what does she do? cartoon for to a mass where she really and people is engaging international, showed us the actual mx shows that have not the in accordance with the international. that's why little, why fi is terrified to, hey lynne from casa, we meet her at her home. ive site bustles as she frantically tries to get family members out of the strip, but they're trapped. well for you, why can they hide? they've nowhere to run to. they're starting to run out of milk, read drinking more to do, put them layla rejects the actions of come off on the is really response to read. this is the killing civilians has never developed the palestinian cause. we've always said to that killing palestinian civilians does not make israel say for the moment, more on both sides. now we are weeping mothers. we are parents searching for our children. we are both at the mercy of extremist politics and we shall have the same

pain, but in opposing camps in mid on the call please. the for no. all those watching from afar can do is hold on for their taking solace. a no whispered prayer for peace or song, this hope hanging in the air a scope more. okay. there's a form of hostage negotiator, the end of the book, order out of chaos. thank you so much for joining us. we are just days animals. this conflict is it too soon to expect and negotiations about the release of swapping of these hostages to be taking place. i think we need aside which used to be seen to be negotiating the stuff clear, clear from the actions that we seen on the last few days and with the bill to post is right. the full says only voted with gaza. you is going to be an incursion,

i think that's, that's very clear to see. and it's imperative that step, so all taken empower, allow to open up negotiations to get those hostages out safely. well, the challenge here compared to normal host is tell you kings, is that this is taking place in an active was a right. do you think that those steps taken in parallel, will have big gun given that they, they the both sides have effectively a rolled out to talking at least publicly. i think it's fair to say that it's, it, everybody's interest to well, study from these right is to get that people back. and then from a mazda side to actually is about prisoner swaps, or whatever it is, is 3 in gauging those kind of conversations. so it's fair to say that some kind of dialogue through the policy media cause whether or not that's the guitar is the

addictions, whomever has probably more than likely started. yes. i'm us says a number of hostages have already been killed in these riley, beside the tags. they've also threatened to kill hostages every time israel strikes . so, do you think we, they, these riley's on time us? i would do, we will have to accept that they will be hostage tests. i have a jewelry, old because of is really military efforts. i think a lot in every single kidnapping and hoss he's teaching case. i've been involved in that as the threat to my aid and on rare occasions, some kind of violence and forces being used against the hostages. i think with a shea number, we took him to change of a 150 hostages. and i said with the fact that this has taken place and was that there is sadly,

inevitably going to be some of the tragedy that which is why i guess is more incumbent to bring about some kind of negotiation to get the people out sooner rather than later on, piled on top of that is the fact that it is likely that face hostages are being kept in one of the most densely populated parts of the planet. and of course, that how much has this network of tunnels to escape into as it does. and i think right now would be lots of effort putting to coordinating identifying the load, casey, where the hostages all being tapped as much as possible. and of course, in the background, this talk of potentially hostage rescue attempts, but these are very, very dangerous options with no way to guarantee chance of success. so trying to

locate whether it's hostages or, and to work out who to speak to, to bring about their release is a big challenge. another complicating factor must be the israel will not, i'm presuming countenance paying a run. so to get that people a bag of a code, not a countenance funding. how soon anyway? yeah, i think that's, that's fair to say. the question of why did, how much take the hostages in the 1st place again is a, is an interesting point. you know this? yes, there's been how does she me shows at the moment that's, that's clear to see. i mean, i would simply that won't apply some leverage further down the line around potentially some present exchanges. and we see news route has been consist relatively consistent in the past or prioritizing the safe return of the citizens, even if it does take a walk to the side. right?

you've been in the room, i presume, what can, especially i'm gonna ask you to speculate the how does it work? who talks to who, how about what i guess what happens is normally you get along saw you get in the room with the family or the company and obviously straight away. it's about reassuring the family that will do everything we can to get them back. but there is no guarantees is no policies that can be made here. however, all steps will be tightened, and then it's preparing. the family pulls a coal that may come in. the cold from the post is tell you because or even the loved one by the host, these take his place. understanding what is it that we need to say? what are the objectives which will be, will need to reassure the host is tight because yes, we have them. we taking this seriously. it's about obtaining what's called

a proof of life. by data, we speak to the hostage to make sure that they're live well. and then it's the green some next steps, maybe the next time to speak over the phone on exactly what it is that the host is . take is all the monday. thank you so much for talking us through that scott walker form a hostage negotiator and the offer of order after of couse. thank you so much. i to your secretary sites on sunday. banking has been holding talks with the palestinian leader, my boot abbas in jordan. mister abbas has the policy in, you know, far say which controls the occupied by sponsor. he's initially made no comments on the how much time or how much terrorist attack in these ro. but i was a go. he released a statement condemning violence against affiliate by both sides, tech savvy blink and had earlier visited israel, where he met in tel aviv. we found the still ringing from the hamas attacks

described, images of how the trust is shown to him by israel. as the prophecy, meanwhile, is riley stepping up. it's response award cabinet formed in response to a terrorist attack that's become known as israel's $911.00. at the top of their agenda, the race to bring back around a $150.00 hostages. many of them civilians taken by how much was the government the piece of the whole done the money to we're still working to locate those kidnapped was up. we need to bring in more special offices, forensics. we are receiving assistance from abroad to identify bodies to know who is alive, who is dead well known who is kidnapped and we will not lift up on this effort. we will not for less help on trying to bring them home a bite. and until a v, a high profile visitor, i came to israel bearing a simple message. united states stands with real and with its people.

today, tomorrow, every day. in my meetings with the prime minister with the present hertzog, with the ministers and israel's newly formed national emergency government. we discussed in detail what is real needs to defend itself, its people, and how the united states can help to meet those needs. the blinking also met families of missing is really relatives and friends of hostages, taken by him a and now being held in casa we were married. the hearing our story makes decisions human. this is a human issue. these are civilians that are missing and had been captured.
