the bodies of missing. israel is the unclear richardson welcome israel, says it will allow safe passage for civilians in northern casa, after it urge them to leave a head of an expected ground offensive. as rarely officials said, 2 main roads would allow people to escape safely until 4 pm local time. as well as military has already been attacking targets, it says are linked to hum us. but civilians have been among the casualties. rushing the injured to hospital after an air strike in kansas city. israel's military stepped up air strikes on how mass targets a week after how mass launched terror attacks and israel,

that to more than 1000 people i made bombardments and ground raids. israel's military says it dropped pamphlets, giving civilians in northern gather a new time window to evacuate to the south. the warning comes ahead of unexpected ground invasion by israel. but the united nations is urging israel to revoke the evacuation order warning of a humanitarian disaster. they are calling for an end to the siege on gazda, and the passage of 8 our call now is uh for uh, long humanitarian. it pauses to anything. in clay, doors, face buses just bought at 8 to reach the children and families. and then it goes to also the protection of children is, is but amount. and it's the sponsibility of all of talk you through the conflict. israel's army accuses have massive stopping civilians from evacuating and stress

that it's targeted. gazda is from us terrorist the palestinian civilians and gaza or north our enemies. we don't assess them as such and we don't target them as such . if they were obviously the situation in gaza would be totally different. we are trying to do the right thing, trying to evacuate civilians in order to minimize the risk for them. meanwhile, to israel's north and 11 on israel's army says it killed several terrorists trying to cross the border. lebanon's has the law, a militant group back by iran has said it is prepared to join. it's ally, have mass, and fighting is real. fears are mounting that the conflict between her mouse and israel could spill over across the region correspond to tanya kramer has been reporting from israel close to the border with gaza. and i asked her earlier if there was a sense that a full scale ground defensive as imminent i was this is of course

a big question that i don't think they will tell us. you know, when the exactly move in, there will still be this moment of a surprise, but i mean what they're trying to do now, what they've been saying since yesterday is to call on the people in northern garza, which includes garza city, the heart of gauze, or were over 1000000 people are in this area and have to move a down south. they said that they have these 2 main roads. so they're usually the main roads. when you're in garza, you're traveling from the north to the south. so people should take those. and these are some kind of safe quarters to travel to the center of casa or to the south. this is at the moment of what they're telling people there to move. because as a one of the, the army people, they said they would have hit hard and they're calling on people to move. but it's very, very difficult to hear. and also from the, you know, you monetary inside. i mean, it's not so easy for people just to move south and, and in this moment, that huge concerns from the un and from international

a groups there about a humanitarian catastrophe in casa, what can you tell us about the conditions inside, as of right now, swimming i noticed due to car, to very few people, it's very difficult for the communication and you know, some of them are actually moving from place to place in the past days, looking for a safe space. i mean, those people have moved now to the center, but there many, many others they can do. i mean, if you look at the elderly people, so, or if you don't have a car or something, you know what, what do you do? i mean, if it's just that the situation is a lot of confusion of what to do. i mean, be hearing from the humanitarian organizations. how di, the situation is also you have to understand, you know, the electricity, uh, at least the electricity it comes from israel was cut off. that has also consequences, of course. then the main power plant because no fuel is coming in has a cut off. so this mended, at least for the civilian population. there all these problem said how the

hospitals, of course, and have problems for the generate of the water problems have problems. so, i mean all of this together, but i think the main issue right now for people in this area is and also in the southeast that have things still as strikes. so is to, to find some kind of safe space, but there is basically no save. so in, in garza, you're basically trapped in the and i think this is a psychologically also, it's a, it's a very difficult situation from what i'm hearing to, from, from people. absolutely. tell us a little bit more about military operations on, on friday. we know the is really army said it had conducted raids into gaza, both bottling militants there and also looking out for information about hostages. what can you tell us about what the current situation is like at the border? a while we're here near the gauze of board and it's been 2 areas where, you know, there's a built of tags of the infantry mainly here. i mean, at the moment then not moving. i think they're waiting now for the next step for,

for the orders as to what comes next. of course you have a still, we had also rocket garages coming out in the past half an hour. so from garza, of course, is also the navy, around gauze in the mediterranean. you have to attend the re from here the strikes on garza, so the war is going on. and of course everybody's waiting now to see what happens after this. uh, 4 o'clock deadline might be a bit flexible. what will happen next? or we don't know. we just have to to see what the next hour is here or ring ring. we will be keeping you posted here on dw, thank you so much, tonya, for reporting. that is our correspondent, tonya kramer, near the border with us us and china low is but the norwegian refugee council, which has people working in gaza. i spoke to her earlier and i asked her what she was hearing from her colleagues were working in the territory. we have 52 pellets to me and staff who are from and live in work in gaza. uh,

i mean the stories that they are telling us of what they are experiencing, what they are seeing. we have no capacity right now to even be able to, to uh, give him a humana to provide humanitarian response. because our staff needs to focus on themselves giving to safety. we've heard stories from staff that challenges after this order to, to lead to the south in finding vehicles fuel in order to make that way. some of our staff are trying to get to the southern part of god, just by on foot. and the situation is dire. there's no electricity there except for what people can muster from either the limited fuel that remains for generators or solar panels. connectivity is difficult in terms of people communicating each day. it seems that our ability to even do something as simple as a head count, to make sure that our staff are okay is becoming more and more difficult because

the situation is so dire, which is rings total blockade total cj on the guards, the strip as your correspondence mentioned and preventing fuel, electricity, food and water from entering. and then of course, as the announcement from thursday night at midnight, calling on all residents of northern gauze of to, to flee to the south. that must be terrifying. so you have your own people working for you, for you, for their lives unable to really administer a to others who need it. are you aware of other organizations who have been able to help supply a there right now, while it's most needed? i know that the when is continuing to provide as much support as it can and other organizations that are involved in emergency response like doctors without borders . but i think most of the humanitarian sector right now or frozen because we, we cannot ask our staff to be responding to a braces when they themselves are victims of back crisis and need to focus on

getting their family to safety. now the norwegian refugee council, a secretary general, we should say, has demanded a reversal to the israeli miller trees demand that more than a 1000000 civilians relocate from the north a to the south of gaza. can you tell us a little bit more about what is in this demand and really more about what is at stake here? if this is not heated, i mean it's impossible for palestinians from, for 1100000 pounds demands from the north. to flee to the south, there are not facilities able to accommodate that. number of people moving quickly in northern garza was really the center of economic and commercial life. and whereas the minority people in garza lived and, and there just aren't facilities available. additionally, we've heard reports of, of palestinian to were trying to lead to the south being killed. i was trying to escape to the south. and on top of that,

there are no assurances that when people do flee to the south, that they, that they will be protected, the bees will be safe zones that will be targeted. and so we need assurances that if people are going to be evacuated, that it needs to be done in a way in which transport can be arranged and accommodated. that doesn't cause widespread panic and chaos. and that allows for, for one the combination of, of the inputs of people, but also assurances that one's hostilities and that those people are able to return to their homes. thank you so much, shane. now we really appreciate it that is shayna low from the norwegian refugee council. so israel has called up some 360000 reservists and mass troops and tanks along the border with casa, the policy, the entire trees and under siege and a near constant ground. and air bombardment, israel says a senior home off the military commander who it says loved the attacks

a week ago. has been killed in the air strikes, as well as believed to be planning a major round offensive as we've heard. although no such decision has yet been announced, w senior international correspondent, funny for char, is reporting for us from jerusalem. i spoke to her earlier and asked her about the preparations being made for a possible ground defensive. so that's the big question really because he's reading government did not elaborate on when they're going to start the ground defensive. but also once they started how long it's going to last. so everybody can just fax highlights on it. and we do not want to do that, but rather look at the indications here what may be the next step and won't key indication of that. that ground offensive appears to be quite immune. and it's just the very fact that there's a massive to build up is really and to build up very close to the cause of buddha. second, they've been for the 1st time, in fact already. he's really and sold us on the ground in gaza, trying to take out they say i am as a militants, but also trying to find some sort of an evidence with

a whole stitch as all estimated 150 people have been abducted on a saturday last week, exactly one week ago by how must submit it as well. but no one has to imagine that the local rate that apparently took place in the miles is just if you couldn't meet this from the city sense of from guys a city that again is a, the main base to say. so the boss liberates a on the ground for how much militants and the food indication that a ground defense. if a p, as quite likely very soon is a basic b, that is ro keeps repeating ordering a people policy. the us to move from the north through the south is speaking he about the half of the population in gaza strip. so about $1000000.00 people that are supposed to leave go to the south, which of course makes the impression of at the same time that the south is safe. this is not the case, have been several is tried since today. hundreds of them from east sides make constitute garza,

but certainly the strongest ones with individuals. i. so taking those points into consideration that ground defensive is just a matter of time, a people to expect that it's going to be some sort of a surprise when that's going to take place. obviously not to give a information to a people to the how much militants in gaza strip. and you've mentioned that it's not just a matter of when it begins, but also how long it lasts in a rear television address. we heard prime minister benjamin netanyahu emphasizing that this is a quote, only the beginning that what do you think with this he's addressing, how mazda, or is this a message to, is really that they can expect this to go on for a long time. i think by that he's really addressing up several entities to say, so 1st of all is addressing people here domestically is re lease well by the way, as we're speaking at a 100 of them are taking to the street protesting, asking for the loved ones to be to return to come back of the people who are being

held captive since such a day in gaza strip. so people really are demanding a very forceful and very strong reaction the by a, by these really military. but you would also hear voices here in the ground of people just simply being concerned because they do not know what the next step that ground defensive is going to mean for people. he and we are in, in israel. and also if we listen to this message that he says, this is just the beginning that he's a fool. it's also a clear message to the homeless militants that they know they're going to pay the price for what happened on saturday. the attack on a saturday killing, very ordinary innocent, a people. and so it is a message also going to the region basically try to express, do not get involved. you're on to get involved here on the back. has bought the minutes in group in the know it's a rather it live on on a and they've been.
