clare richardson, thank you so much for joining us. residents of garza are rushing toward the roof of border crossing in the hopes of making it across the egyptian border. human rights groups have been calling for humanitarian ceasefire to allow safe passage both for aid and for people to leave casa, each of controls the roof of border crossing. the only passage in and out of gauze if it's not controlled by israel, the border was shut down nearly a week ago. are these people are rushing towards the end of the border crossing, hoping the gates will open. there is no safety even when you're at the crossing, you're afraid set on our way to the crossing. they showed ralph as we came in thinking it was safe. nowhere is safe and gas or wherever we go. there's shelling 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,
5:02 pm
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 border for foreign boss, but he does. there is no conformation yet, and many people the district to leave casa, 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 like the 3rd one was like coming 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 i kind of sleep man a bomb. the rest of the more not there's no, no life, you know,
5:03 pm
matter. i'm on the other. the other thing to i'll buy people or, or the balloon they have like center you believe you're going to visit somebody to go over it. unless you have a slip and fall is 5. this is like, the thing is not people here. in this neighborhood, there's good, there's math drive, as an asp. do we leave on the gods as site? each supplies are stored inside egypt, but egypt sees the board, the opening was not possible because of earlier is riley air strikes on the got the site is right denies, but any agreements on it or evacuation has been reached. and with no definitive answers, the wait for many of those trying to flee might belong. earlier i spoke with slim a waste communications officer. i units last middle east and north africa and asked
5:04 pm
him what he is hearing from his partner is working on the ground and gaza. the situation is, as we heard from people themselves, it's got this traffic it's, it's really the images that we are seeing. the stories that we are hearing on her, what tech people are struggling to um, to stay alive till the hour, i think uh what, what we could uh get through quotes of is over 720 children that that's in 9 days. that's. that's almost 3 kids an hour with over $2400.00 kids injured and those are only the numbers that they're reported to us. unfortunately, the numbers might be much, much more. so people are living without water without the tricity. this means that there's no, uh, no clean, uh, water for the children to drink, risking their, their lives for the hydration. also the infrastructure for water. uh,
5:05 pm
so the oldest city station and the sewer system is, is ruined. and that means that they are, they, uh, on the verge of, of water born diseases. health systems are really in a bad shape. hospitals are running all the fuel we've dealt with just in, without the fuel. that means that they will not be able to, to deliver it to their patients, them to the injured thousands of interest people and they are overwhelmed with the numbers and they can't keep up the situation. all they're all is really hold on. and real heading towards imitating catastrophe with more than 1000000 people, i'm asked by israel to move from northern garza 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 grevious we, since day one, we said my 1000000 over 1000000 people asked to move to the south. the problem is
5:06 pm
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 family, these are not spirit. infrastructure is not spirit all around and they don't have really, they don't have prospect. uh if, if they moved. well, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us today on dw news that is so we always with unicef. really appreciate your time. now the israeli military has reported that the number of people known to have been abducted by hamas has now arisen to 199. the hostages include children and the elderly. it was
5:07 pm
thought that most were taken to gaza. but there are few details on their plights. israel defense forces have also released body cam footage of the momentum aust militants and 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 israeli 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 rarely authority say, involve the indiscriminate mass killing of civilians, including children and the elderly. and the thought is rarely troops are stationed at the border with gazda waiting for the order to
5:08 pm
begin the ground operation and to attempt to rescue hostages. israel has called up more than 350000 reserves id dental. how many monday fluid i saw are wonderful finders who are now in the front line. they know that the whole nation is behind them being shot people. they understand the magnitude of the task . they are ready to step into action at any moment to wipe out the blunt. there's 2 monsters who seek to annihilate us, get it to be put solely from us. thought we were to follow a part time they were wrong. then we will tear. how must a part 20 but not for the thought i get the from us is really border towns in the south are being evacuated ahead of the offensive. i on the the night was like every night. no change. speak to one hour, wake up and hide to relocate to let's sleep again. wake up sleep again. i could hardly have a shower. i could hardly shake myself right down and something she just cannot do
5:09 pm
as right. so you deal with it as a the u. s. has deployed warships to the region to support israel. president biden said he's confident israel will act under the rules of war. so the is really military now, confirming that a 199 hostages have been abducted by him. us. i asked the w correspondent, tanya kramer, about israel's efforts to bring them back home. well, i thing 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 there are indoors, as he said, no, confirmed them both 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,
5:10 pm
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 they more and more questions being asked, what is the is where the government's doing uh to get those hostages out of concepts of get them home. and it will be very difficult also lied, often imminent or as possible, a ground invasion. what would 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 nation us. and there's also an international effort underway with uh, you know, a possible to explicit possible maybe it has 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,
5:11 pm
all day on god. so we also had uh, just in the past hour. so also of was again uh to whats teletubbies and roots of them. so uh 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 board. 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 mount found 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
5:12 pm
a ground invasion. and that's why we see this huge build up. there's also a close owens. we can go that close anymore. as drennen is around the gauze and strip of and in light of all the developments now, tanya, thank you so much for your reporting now and across the last days as tanya kramer for us and ashton meanwhile, israel has ordered its residents living within 2 kilometers of the lebanese border to evacuate the area. this comes as cross border classes intensify. at least 2 people have been killed in israel and at least a lesson in lab. and on, on sunday, the mil wasn't lebanese group has the last set. it fired missiles into israel. israel's military, it says it responded with strikes on southern weapon on it also accused regional power. iran of ordering the hezbollah attacks as tensions increased. israel has boosted its troops along the border with pop in on our bay route bureau chief mohammed traits enjoys you. now for more mohammed has the law says it has destroyed
5:13 pm
surveillance cameras at several israeli army posts along the lebanese border. what could that signal are quite clear. everything happening on the uses by the borders. tells us that this front is hating up. it's clear that the final defense are accelerating the rounds of commissions where intense yesterday, in fact, the most intense in quality and quantity. since the cost for the selling between the these while the army and has below the started to 9 days ago having set so just below that destroyed is right here. the surveillance cameras yesterday along the border with the militant group, a piece to want to prevent these via the army from monitoring movements on the east side of the border at the military alertness on both sides of the board as is at the peak with opposing and need fighters engaging and in time within the cross for the showings and classes are ongoing for the 9th date, and it'll give us
5:14 pm
a bit of a bigger picture here. what, why is it that we are seeing as well as involvement here, which has been, has been explicit about the supports to how much and in this spots and the party officials said that since day one that they are in direct contact with leaders of the palestinian groups that involved in the military confrontation with this way and, and that they do not stand utilizing this confrontation as they said together because the law and these published in the infections received fund and support from iran. and they are part of the so called resistance access, along with that show these india mind to popular mobilization in iraq. and of course the regime in, in syria altogether. they have long talks about the unifications, the unification of the fields in any upcoming butso. and within 11 on itself, how much support does hezbollah have and what political repercussions could there
5:15 pm
be if we saw another war between has blonde israel as well as well as undoubtedly the most powerful political and military force and the one on it's at least to be even more powerful than to live in, he is all the army, the health and the on group launch the control of the decision of peace and war in the country just a few days ago. the co take a prime minister of flipping and was explicit developed in a life and interview. so here's what lies very much aware of the dynamics and the consequences of the large scale award with the is right of the party knows how for a guy it is. the situation in the been on the political divide is huge. know position fingers have been a really vocal late fee about refusing to drive 1100 feet into a war as the country is already facing it. devastating financial and economic crisis. but it was this preventable from engaging in a, in a large scale award with this way. and i would say on the house by law have the
5:16 pm
answer for this question. at this moment. we're thank you so much for bringing us up to date there. that is dw barret bureau chief mohammed, straight to and us secretary of state and to the blink, and has returned to israel to consult with the specials over the conflict with homos. he's arrived in tele view for the 2nd time in less than a week. after visiting several other countries in the region, in recent days, lincoln has met with leaders from jordan, saudi arabia, and egypt, as part of diplomatic talks to prevent the conflict from further escalating his meeting with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu as well as present. isaac had filed and there was cabinets. gerald fire sign is a former us ambassador to yemen. and in recent years he has focused heavily on counterterrorism in his work with the middle east institute. i spoke to him earlier and i asked him what needs to happen on the diplomatic front to end this war a box. i think that there are a couple of things going on. one of course,
5:17 pm
and as your reporter mention is concerned about the potential expansion of, of the conflict. and so i think that the secretary blake and 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 relief supplies into gaza. and also, of course, to pressure the d as realities and not to go in in
5:18 pm
a way that inflicts huge numbers of it isn't posted in casualties. do you think we are seeing that kind of a pressure? what exactly do you think they will be telling? there is really calendar parts regarding the humanitarian crisis unfolding and gaza as well. we see we've seen uh some uh, some results of us intervention. i, you know, the announcement by the israel is that they were restoring water to the southern gaza area. and also of course, the, the intense diplomatic engagement with the, as rarely as of the egyptians to try to get a relief suffice. and so, and, and the other, the other aspect of course, is to pressure these roadways. as we've seen, some result of that, whatever they do and gaza strip must be in accordance with the internationally recognized the laws of war. and we also want to get your view here of israel has a very clear that their goal is to eliminate from us. what kind of challenges do
5:19 pm
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, uh frank about this one doesn't eliminate her as groups. so we of course in 2001. so that we're going to eliminate all tie the title still there are, we've said that we're going to eliminate ice as ice is still there. these kinds of organizations don't get eliminated. there is no military solution to this, to this situation. and of course, the more that the israelis are responsible for. uh, you know, uh for indiscriminate uh, military action. as a more deeply imbedded these organizations become within the population. so it's, uh it's, it's a situation where the harder you try off isn't the worst the outcome. but tell us more about that, as well as saying it is going into target. how mazda is leaders? um, even with the military might of the idea,
5:20 pm
you don't think that they would be bossed, it would be possible for them to go in with enough force to stop from us from launching attacks from their as i over the long term? no, i don't. i don't believe that it's the that you couldn't succeed militarily and accomplishing that kind of an objective. they can certainly, uh, identify and target homeless leaders, or they've announced that they've killed at least one senior homeless commander. or they could do that. but these are, these organizations reproduce themselves a, they, they fail uh they sell these possessions of theirs. come along. and, and really the only solution to this situation is really a political solution. i had the as ro is need to be careful that as they go forward and, and respond to this disaster and israel, this tragedy that they leave room within the palestinian of the larger palestinian
5:21 pm
community not come us. although with palestinians that they leave space to resume diplomatic political negotiation that will hopefully lead to a permanent sustainable fees. and looking also at the role of other actors in the region when you are looking at a possible political solution. where do you see a peaceful horizon as, as you have put it as well, i think, you know, of course i, as the abraham courts countries, you are a boss, ray morocco, have a potential role to play egypt and jordan also, uh and uh, you know, up until last week i, it was really the, the salary dialogue with israel, which included a large component of measures that were aimed at improving the lives of palestinians. and i think that that it perhaps was one of the motivations for how much it was to attract that dialogue because they feared that
5:22 pm
a political solution that strength of the palestinian authority would weaken them over the long term. well, thank you so much. i'm afraid that's all we have time for ambassador fire stein. we really appreciate you taking the time to speak with us on dw news. thank you. or we can turn now it's. there's some other developments in the conflict. a ship evacuating us citizens from israel has left the fort of high foot for cyprus. the u . s. embassy urged its citizens and immediate family members to depart from haifa. commercial airlines have largely stopped flying in to tell of the palestinian authority president my who the boss has said how much those policies and actions do not represent the palestinian people. president a boss, matthew, a secretary of state, anthony lincoln, and jordan's king this week. as part of diplomatic efforts to reduce the fall out
5:23 pm
united nations secretary general antonio guitar shows that the hostages, an age of gaza, should not become bargaining chips would flow. protests repeated his call for him off to release hostages without conditions. he also appealed to israel's will allows you mandatory an 8 into gaza or over $2000000.00 palestinians are cracked as is rarely ground defensive looms. and po francis has called for humanitarian corps doors to help those under siege and gaza. francis also renewed his call for the release of the hostages, kidnapped by homeless militants in poland. the right wing governing law and justice party appears to be on the verge of losing power. exit polls from sunday's general election suggests the party won the most votes, but the opposition parties will be better place to form a government's opposition. leaders on a task called at the beginning of a new era. i'm going to use the whole and as one democracy has one. yeah,
