the, the business dw news live from ballad. israel's military, it tells more than a 1000000 jobs, and it's to evacuate to the south of with territory to give him 24 hours to leave, as is really full of the seem to fit for ron defensive against some us after a mazda service killed some $1300.00 is ready and he's in last weekend's, it's not post on the program in israel, jeremy's foreign minister on the latest available leads to the families of the german citizens health hostage by mazda in gauze health. germany will use its international leverage to find

the i'm good, how those as well come to the program is really ground troops have carried out what they called localized raids inside the gaza strip over the past 24 hours as well as chief military's 5th person said infantry in time, few minutes offensive, gaza to locate rockets, cruise, destroy weapons, and search for evidence. hostages announcements did not appear to be the beginning of an expected ground offensive and which other action for the terror attacks by the minutes and time us group is well, that's been marketing troops along the guys that bought a in preparation for an offensive or not. it's those phase offers fun. it's rebecca. this is in tennessee for a couple of more. can you tell us about the sol localized grades?

well that is what we've been hearing me is really military saying that they have been carrying out these very smooth, very target to very elite teams have been going in and carrying out these raids, as you said in the late in the to try particularly i think to look for some of the more than 100 hosted, as we know are being held in garza, this is the 1st shift really towards the ground invasion the as you also mentioned, not indicative of the beginning all of such a ground invasion though. that is something that is largely expected to happen in the coming days. if not week we've been seeing. i was down there this week myself been saying very, very heavy. um and, and, and a huge troop movements around that golf and border and it is full by everyone that we've had no confirmation from the israeli military, but it is sort of the ground invasion would be the next step. so it isn't surprising that this interim step is a way that they can in to try and look for these hostages and, and,

and do all the targeted acts in there without triggering the full round invasion of this stage. the w correspondent, rebecca, which is the intel of these. thank you very much. rebecca is a military is given over $1000000.00 people in gauze for 24 hours to evacuate the homes ahead of an expected grounds of ground defensive against the terrorist organization of moss, a mass controls the territory and has told residents to ignore the warning. but many gardens have decided it's time to go of the go on, breaks and gaza to a wave of aerial bombardment about as an explosion is destroying buildings in the region. and today the attacks came along with an official loading se is rarely, military continue, domestic and tanks and troops near the cause and border,

a head of an expected ground invasion at cold. so this some 1100000 people located in garza city to relocate to the south. so within 24 hours, this involves the journey across the water. you guys have what plans the river dividing the territories north and south. and so the next it just begins causes and civilians and you and stuff i like started moving as best i could out of harm's way over and then you today we do not know where to go. there is no safe place. we do not know where children are. we do not know what to do and we have no food or water top. i'm appealing to the united nations in front of the un building . where do we go? where do we go? why not, ruth had the you and said moving so many people in such a short period of time within one of the world's most densely packed areas would be impossible quote, without devastating humanitarian consequences. the clock ticks on the world

house organization called fixing mandatory and access to gaza to be reviewed. it won't, the israel totes will do okay. and continue. bombardment pushed the health system to breaking point, blocking essential supplies and electricity. and we need to provide medical services and, and so on. that's what i would, i would ask, ask for one is to product, see if it ends and 2nd, to provide them with the support that they need be trued. medical services supplies as well continues to insist that she's just doing everything it can to minimize civilian suffering. but for the people of cause a time is running out as well as safe places to go. the gaza strip is one of the most densely populated areas in the world and to get a sense of what it's like for the people living. but am i spoke to julia to mom.

she's the director of communications for on rob b, u. n. agency for palestinian refugees way and before the month of october, when the start the i gone, i was on there a locate for more than 16 years now. i'm so access in and out of the gall, this trip for people who are living by i was very, very restricted or limit the many people. in fact, 1200000 people relied on the un on road where i worked for food assistance and the levels all 40 were at 80 percent. there was no drinkable water in find the strip, so the situation was already very, very bad. they're in gone, so before all of this started, nope, it's more than 1000000 people. that's about half the population on out to seek shelter in the south. is that realistic at all?

the insight into the site in possible and uh, this whole thing from the is there any alternatives done that we understand was put out early in the morning is absolutely horrendous. i mean, how can you move 1000000 into in 24 hours it's, it's not due belatoya. is there any safe place for civilians in gaza? when many people in 5 years, at least 270000 people have been seeking refuge in the schools in our own schools, which are supposed to be according to boy who use of the war safe places and has never come under attack. we have a 90, you've done almost plenty of them sheltering displaced families. however, even though schools come come on their dictates since the morning what does make

a difference if egypt opened it's bought a post people we are calling for and the moment is uh for humanitarian access, so that the organizations like under on it to deliver it humanitarian assistance into the gulf coast, it is almost been one week, not one drop of water has gotten into the strip. we haven't been able to send any humanitarian supplies. our supplies are file foss dwindling. we need to get supplies and we need to humanitarian access. so that's we're able to deliver to people to civilians who need it. most of the many women, many children, many old people, many people with disabilities. we need to get access. we need to get supplies into the convers trip farm is running. very, very pop and golf has been pushed into abas. and is it the main problem that the egyptians don't open the border is normally on good things and it says

supplies the is really signed. so we're quoting for a generally too many turn access and which ever way post have been sold, that organizations like on rock is able to bring in much, much needed to monitor and assistance to people who need it most inside the gall, this trip. now the organization itself is heavily affected. some of your stuff has been killed and all you have to move your office from garza city to to the south. can you still operate that? yes, we are. operational and assembly. we have lost 13 all of our kids. so some of them where the teachers, one of them was a kind apologist. one was an engineer. on other words, support staff it's, it's absolutely type of for us this, this huge dose. we have $13000.00 staff, however, who many of them continue to be on the ground. many of them continue to respond to

people's needs, including in the schools where people are centering, but they're all tired, fine. they're really, really tired to find the what the next hour we bring. those who have children who cannot reassure their children that they're going to be arise because maybe they're not going to be a right. it's a type of situation. it's a tragedy unfolding of the works. watch to the, to my, the director of communications for on. right. thank you very much for your time. and german is for our minister. i'm on lane, i babble, visited israel, where she is. she was always ready to call deposit. 80 cone of germany supports a foreign minister, has been visiting the southern town of nancy votes, which was overrun by almost many times at the weekends. one of the main reasons for our visit is to speak with family members of german citizens, but being held captive by the as the most militant, bev upset that a mazda is holding the whole population of cause

a hostage in the country sessions. a mama is now deliberately infringing itself and gaza and using innocent people as human shields, which you know how most up to them to become. us is taking the entire population of gaza hostage or not. it's tunnels within caches and commodities seem to is deliberately located in homes and supermarkets, universities, and perhaps even hospitals. this poses incredible challenges to everyone who wants to fight tiara hospital during her visit. beth, i've met with families of john and citizens being held hostage and family members say they've been assured the german government is doing all it can to help them using loved ones. speaking to media family set the urgent, they needed information about the hostages and hoped germany would use that it's a national leverage to find the relative stress that's times of the essence and

securing those. so also just say for time and not interesting germany, israel was interesting business. sorry baby. the politics diplomacy. i understand. i last night we met the day with the minister. she was very understanding. she told us that germany will do whatever possible for her to do in order to make a citizen come back home the 1st about creation flights of german nationals for me as well. and is it fine for the airport yesterday?

germany has been working with lufthansa to organize. we've punctuation flights for it. citizens. 950 sofa. are united with family back safe and german so we are so happy. so would it leave? did everything worked out? starting to leave the burden big feller we when we took off the plane down and he would over to see the lift on so i was so great they were really tough for the pilot said several times it wasn't on the fly us. but unfortunately, the empty seat in our plane, hundreds are home, but thousands of germans remain stranded in israel, waiting for their chance to return the units and talk a bunch of times the last few days were exhausting,

especially when we were waking up to sirens. it was so stressful, but thank god we're home. but that's great. now of course i'm so happy. there are 12 people in our group, and we're all here all healthy. thank god. now let's go home. well, happy to be back. returning is couldn't help with the think of those they left behind. so who's not inside on, but it seems to me it's a hard decision because i have friends who are there now will who will talk to the conflict? i'm going to tie talking to biggest one of my best friends, hasn't written for 3 days and would be part of the ground, defensive engagement, safety and have to not get in the next few days, i'm going to be looking through the list to the photo and just hoping i'm training and all that, my friends and all that kind of mind to find sort of more special slides from tel aviv to frank ferguson munich are set to continue on friday
