people from across the goes, i have left the homes and headed south to rafa in recent days of to being told to evacuate by. israel. mediators have so far failed to negotiate a ceasefire that would allow foreigners to leave garza and they only bowed into egypt. so for many, it is a difficult weight for the becomes the boat of crossing every day. we contact the embassy every day and they tell us to go to the crossing while we wait for up to 8 hours and then we go back. public journey is dangerous when we want to solve this problem so that we can travel in and out of itself, according to us, secretary of state and to me blinking america. and israel have now agreed to develop a plan that would allow a to reach garza but working out the details will likely take time. time that is running out to the thousands of thousands quote and the growing humanitarian crisis. earlier i spoke to martin frank,

the director of the world food program here in berlin. and i asked him how many food supplies are left in gaza? where we estimate that the food is stuck in the gaza strip. um the remain sufficient for a maximum of 2 weeks. so we already saw to to distribute the bread in the show cuz the number of people in about 90 shows is have tripled. and so far we have reached one to 1000 people with bread. so there is huge demand, i'm curious, which parts of cause of your organization is able to access and which has been often that's or what we have been operating inside concepts for years. remember that even before the war song to one 3rd of the population was already food and secure. so we do have people on the ground and at the same time via stop

piling and in egypt near the border food because we expect refugees to come in. and as we speak, we have about 310 metric tons. free pad that's about enough food for a order for 1000000 people for one week. so that is food for people who when that border crossing, if that border crossing is open, when they cross into egypt or you will be there waiting for them? absolutely, yes. so what needs to happen now for you, be you to be able to offer that aid? well, we definitely need the order to be ok. we need safe passage for the people who want to leave casa. at the same time, we need safe passage for humanitarian workers to come in to distribute to madison and of course food. and at the same time, we believe that the essential infrastructure is not being such as water pumping

station or food installations. or we have seen is that auto 5 mills inside because of the strip. only one is still operational. only 5 of 23 bakeries we have been working with us still operational. well, thank you so much for joining us. to share your insights there that is martin frank, the director of the world food program. here in berlin. many thanks for your time. and we have our corresponded rebecca renters reporting from israel not far from the border with gaza. rebecca, we heard there from the wsp an urgent call for humanitarian aid to get into cause a. is there any clarity on, on how and when this might happen? yeah, that's right. glad time is really running out. as we know, we've been saying for days, food fuel, water, electricity is being off a days, but food fuel water is also foss running out. we hear that the hospitals are

running out of supplies and the people are going to stop running out of drinking water as which will create all sorts of other problems and waterborne diseases. and the likes of the humanitarian situation for the people. now, living in gaza, fleeing the nose to the south, where aware of around about $600000.00 is a number that we believe have already made the move to the south, or at least on that journey. but we know that those areas in the south, no, not safe either. that's one is a cool for the humanitarians. safe. so cold, say phones. but just prior to coming on a claim, we were getting reports that a, you and school that about full 1000 people with sheltering has been hit. there have been casualties and even, and just off to that as well. a hospital has just been struck. we're getting reports of a hospital with many, many casualties proving a pick that, that being struck. so it's not clear yet, even if the say signs were to be created,

that they wouldn't actually still be attacked. whether that's collateral early or targeted for some reason. so the people situation to the people in, in gaza, easy die. i'm getting worse by the moment as we just heard the dying need for humanitarian assistance to be allowed in through that rafa crossing is also a talk of trying to get at least some jo nationals out of the country. but the sofa, none of these efforts have come to fruition, but of course with president barton visit tomorrow. if that is going to be high on his agenda. do you think as bite in, arrives in israel tomorrow that we can expect him to raise concerns about the humanitarian crisis and also about civilian casualties in gaza? absolutely, that's definitely going to be one of the very top top points amy, he's agenda to come here to try and urge the is riley government is right, is to allow some of these humanitarian measures to be implemented. of course,

he will also be here to show support to be as riley's a continued an ongoing support in their hour of need. but he's also going to be he to, to judge a, it's a d escalation because what we're seeing in the north, at the escalations there, that's something that the americans, the international community, nobody is, riley included, uh, wants to see opening up a 2nd front in the north, so we did, you know, a very, very busy agenda for biden here, but then when he leaves israel, he's going to be going to jordan to have a summit. we've kinda stayed in egyptian latest. and that will be so that will be pretty much primarily based on the humanitarian issue. as i mentioned, that is incredibly urgent. we're talking about hospitals running out of supplies. so i'm running out of fuel that need to generate to run generate is desperately needed to help keep people alive. we're hearing that reports that that could be running out within 24 hours or even less time of the essence, a dire situation. thank you. rebecca rivers for your reporting from israel,

your the border with gaza. we really appreciate you as president joe biden has. we've heard planning to head to israel on wednesday and in meetings of the government, he is expected to reaffirm america's commitment to as well. security. you'll also be discussing is rose war aims and strategy, as well as the need to protect the lives of civilians and enabling aid to reach casa. this all comes as ro presses on with air strikes and prepares for a ground invasion of the territory. its 1st light and the extent of israel's military build up on its border with guns becomes clearer the troops by to reggie as they prepare for ground defensive, the crew to begin at any moment. over nights these ready defense forces continued that as strikes on, the goal is a strip that targeting the militant islam is group hum us in retaliation for its

deadly tara attacks on israel is really will ships have also been firing missiles at garza from the sea, but the conflict is in danger of escalating farther in the north of his round troops, the vigilance close to the lebanon, as well bolder as tensions between israel and the auron. back to minutes in group has bullet increase. israel has released footage of strikes, targeting, what it claims is, minute treat infrastructure in lebanon, belonging to has beula, and it says it carriage as an attack, almost it described as a group of militants from lebanon, attempting to infiltrate the security fence. it just in the whole hand, the iran meanwhile, has raised the stakes for the by warning of a pre emptive attack against israel before leaving israel, us secretary of state and need blinking said the us presidents visit this week is

also a warning president bible underscore are crystal clear message to any actor, state or non state. trying to take advantage of this crisis to attack israel. don't . or for now, though, garza already on defile weights, but as well and world powers to take the next step. and culture has taken on our role as a mediator. doha has had ties with homeless since it's early days, and this gives it an important position of influence over the organization. but it also brings into question how appropriate culture is as a mediator for peace talks, a friend to the west and to this one enemy casa works a tightrope on foreign policy. doug has communication channels with homos have made it a major international player. and an important us and
