the i'm clear, richardson, thank you so much for joining us. residents of gaza are rushing toward the rough of border crossing in the hopes of making it across the egyptian border. human rights groups have been calling for a humanitarian ceasefire to allow safe passage both for aid and for people to leave gaza. egypt controls the roof of border crossing the only pass passage in and out of gaza. it is not controlled by israel. the border was shut down nearly a week ago. these people are rushing towards the top border crossing, hoping the gates will open. there is no safety even when you're at the crossing. you're afraid that on our way to the crossing, they showed ralph as we came in thinking it was safe nowhere,

steve and gas or wherever we go there. shelly and crying, screaming and blood, we don't know what to do. we're coming to the crossing, knowing they won't open it. no 8 either. for 8 days. i swear to god, no electricity, no water, no internet. we can't communicate or know what's going on. i mean, seriously, this is not a life. media reports had prompted hope. the title might open its board the for ford and boss, but he does. there is no conformation yet, and many people district to leave casa. i'm willing to wait few belongings they've chosen and douglas and i came to visit my family, my sister and my brother. and i just liked it for the next couple of days. and i want to spend like 2 or 3 weeks with my family here and enjoy. i enjoy you and with that with, with the,

the wait for many of those trying to flee might belong a spring. instantly maurice communications officer. right, you know, south, middle east and north africa for more on this story. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. can you tell us what your partners on the ground are telling you about the situation in gaza right now? i think sir, um the situation is, as we heard from people themselves, its got this traffic it's, it's really the images that we are seeing. the stories that we are hearing or what tech people are struggling to um, to stay alive till the hour i think uh what, what we could uh get your thoughts on it is over 720 children that that's in 9 days . that's. that's almost 3 kids an hour. uh with over 2400 kids injured and those are only the numbers that's been reported to us. unfortunately, the numbers might be much,

much more. so people are living without water without electricity. this means that there's no, uh, no clean, uh, water for children to drink, risking their, their lives for dehydration. also the infrastructure for water, uh uh, the oldest city station and the sewage system is, is ruined. and that means that they are, they, are they, uh, on the verge of, of water born diseases. health systems are really in a bad shape. hospitals are running off the fuel we've dealt with just in, without the fuel. that means that they will not be able to, to deliver to their patients, them, to the injured thousands of injured people. and they are overwhelmed with the numbers and they can't keep up the restriction. all they're all is really horrific and real heading towards imitating catastrophe. with more than 1000000 people, i'm asked by israel to move from northern casa to the south. can you tell us what the situation is like there? is there

a big difference between what is happening in the north and south of gaza at the moment? well that's, that's what, that's the thing really sweep. since day one. you said my 1000000 over 1000000 people asked to move to the south. the problem is there is no place that the safe, they don't have a place to run to the south. the south is not safe for, for, for children and families. and whether it's list or, or better in terms of violence. but it's still look face because the war is covering all of of, of guys that violence is there and children and families are not spared. infrastructure is not spirit all around. and uh, they don't have really, they don't have prospect. uh if they moved. well, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us today on dw news guys. so

we've always with unicef. really appreciate your time. the israeli military has reported that the number of people known to be of docketed by hamas has risen to 199. it is not the most of the hostages who include the elderly and children were taken to gaza. but there are really few details on their plight. is real, defense forces have also released the body cam footage of the moments of mazda militants breached the security fence last week before fanning out in towns and communities, and killing more than 1300 people. the mass militants record themselves infiltrating a community and is real close to the gas a border, a breach of the main gate ticket, but so far and began searching for civilians to kill or take hostage the body can video was obtained by as rarely forces who battled in 2 of the mass militants who carried out the massacre, israel has vowed to demolish a mass after their terror attacks that is really authority,

se involved the indiscriminate mass killing of civilians, including children and the elderly. the thought is rarely troops are stationed at the border with gazda waiting for the order to begin the ground operation and to attempt to rescue hostages. israel has called up more than 350000 reserves dental. how many monday flight nice, all are wonderful finders. who are now in the front line. they know that the whole nation is behind them being shot completely understand the magnitude of the task. they are ready to step into action at any moment to wipe the blood thirsty monsters who seek to annihilate us. good, if we flip solely from us, thought we were to fall apart. um, they were wrong in we will tear her mazda a par 20, but not for the thought to come us is really border towns in the south are being evacuated ahead of the offensive. i on the night was like every night you know,

change sleep for one hour waco and hide to relocate to let's sleep again. wake up sleep again. i could hardly have a shower. i could hardly shake myself something and so you just cannot do it. so you deal with it as a to the us has deployed warships to the region to support israel. president biden said he's confident is real well, act under the rules of war. let's speak to our correspondent tanya kramer, in the city of ashuelot and the south of israel. tanya is really military now confirming that 199 hostages have been abducted by him. us. what do we know about israel's efforts to bring these people home? well, i think what i can tell you is that this much, much more pressure now by relatives and families who now know that their loved ones

have been taken hostage, that they are in dogs. as he said, no confirmed them of at least a 199 of people that have been taken to gaza. but you know, the identification process is very long. it's been going on those for those people who were killed. and this is why it takes them to get to certainty, at least this certainty, for some families and relative what happens uh to the last ones uh prime minister benjamin netanyahu met with some of the comedies and relatives on a sunday. but then more and more questions being asked, what is the is where the government's doing uh to get those hostages out of causative, get them home and it will be very difficult also lied, often imminent or possible at ground invasion. what will happen to them then? so was hoping you about hospice, as you said, these are mostly civilians, but also military personnel, the, the elderly, the children, the young people among them. but also a menu of a dual citizenship or for

a nationalist. and there's also an international effort underway with uh, you know, a possible to explicit possible maybe a test like countries like egypt or cutoff that might be able to help the. but there's nothing really concrete yet because the war is going on on the full scale. and they have been asked strikes, you know, all day on god. so we also had uh, just in the past hour. so also rockets again a to it's to leave and roots of them. so there's no let up in this. and it's very difficult to see how such a hostage situation booby. so, and what about where you are, you are reporting for us from very close to the border with gaza. well, we're now in the city of a store which is a bit further away from the border, but at the board, of course, you will see the built up that has been there, of the troops at the tangs and the a tillery and the infantry of course, and they're all waiting for the order a to,

to possibly mounted bound invasion that to go in. but again, as i said, you know, the, the war is continuing also on garza from the naval from the navy, from the mediterranean side, from the air, from artillery. uh so the big question is no, not a if the ground and raising, but when there will be a ground foundation. and that's why we see this huge build up. there's also a close owens. we can't go that close anymore. as drennen is around the golf and strip of and in light of all the developments, know tanya, thank you so much for your reporting now and across the last days as tanya kramer for us. and i start to us secretary of state anthony, blinking has returned to israel to consult with officials over the conflict with hamas. he's arrived in televi for his 2nd visit in less than a week. he scheduled to meet, as well as prime minister benjamin netanyahu, as well as president isaac heads all along with their wor, cabinets. lincoln has been visiting leaders in several other countries in the

region in recent days as well, including jordan, saudi arabia, and egypt. and very pleased to welcome former us ambassador general. the fire sign is a focus heavily on counter terrorism in his work in the region. and he's now with the middle east institute. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. we now have a blinking back in israel, in your view, what needs to happen on the diplomatic front to ends best for. i was a pleasure to be with you uh today. and i think that there are a couple of things going on. one of course, and as your reporter mention is concerned about the potential expansion of, of the conflict. and so i think that the secretary blake in it as well as others in the administration are working very hard to uh, to deter any uh, any thoughts on the part of his, both our on or that they should jump into this conflict. and then the other thing

is and clearly in his, travels throughout the region, a secretary blake, and has a great deal of concern about the humanitarian situation inside of kaiser. and i think that the other aspect of the, of the us approach is going to be to ensure that you mind a terry in a situation is addressed to try to get released supplies into you guys. and also of course, to pressure the d as realities. and not to go it in a way that inflicts huge numbers of interest in the house to the in casualties. do you think we are seeing that kind of a pressure? what exactly do you think they will be telling? there was really counter parts regarding the humanitarian crisis unfolding and gaza as well. we see we've seen uh some uh, some result is of us intervention. i, you know, the announcement by these railways that they were restoring uh,

water to the southern gaza area. and also of course, the audience has a diplomatic engagement with both the israelis or the egyptians to try to get relief suffice. and so, and the other are the other aspect, of course, is to pressure these rallies. as we've seen, some results that whatever they do with the guys and strip must be in accordance with the internationally recognized the laws of war. and i also want to get your view here. um, israel has made very clear that their goal is to eliminate a moss. what kind of challenges do you think they will be facing in routing a terrorist group from the gaza strip? well, i think the, you know, to, to be entirely frank about this one doesn't eliminate her as groups. are we? of course in 2001 so that we're going to eliminate all kite the title still there are we said that we're going to eliminate isis. isis is still there. these kinds of

organizations don't get illuminated. there is no military solution to this to this
