8:04 pm
. the mother of one french's rarely hostage has made a desperate plea for her daughter's release. i didn't know she's there alive. and steve, yesterday, all i knew is that she's may, might be kidding up. um, i'm begging the world to bring my baby back home. she only went to a party to a festival, thought to, to have some fun. and now she's you guys the to i asked the w senior international correspondent thinks a char intel a view. how is real, can insure the safety of hostages and gaza while it is bombing, gaza. is what is facing issue which dilemma their aims is to outcome us minutes and they keep saying. but at the same time they are confronted with the fact that the vast tunnel system you're talking about and on the ground city basically see 100
8:05 pm
killer meet. so don't tunnels and the entrances to these tunnels i close to schools close to hospitals in a very densely populated area. and in that tunnel system now i'm not only the minutes in and the people want them, but also appearance the also the hostages. and this is the dilemma that easily is facing. now they did say that everyone can basically show leave the northern parts of calls or to work to solve a 4th of the creation, basically by the that itself poses a huge danger for police. see me. and so the people who need to leave now, because once they are trying to eat that deluxe fuel to little people are trying to leave from the middle to the cells on foot. but once they get to the cells, what is going to happen to them? the only opening to the world that could become an opening is the rustle border crossing with egypt. but that remains close. and yes, we do hear that the us in use while i talking about. so i'm gonna try to create so called save sealants into cells, but also trying to get it in. but at this point there's nothing precise about these
8:06 pm
plans and things are getting worse, body l for the people as the folks own going. so urgently. there's the, the un is calling for a to get in, and obviously the people who are protesting here behind me, a calling for the really use of this hostages. yes, as we've seen, it's not just as rarely. there are also many foreigners among the hostages. what kind of role are foreign governments playing here and trying to secure their release? the 1st and foremost they're coming here to israel to express is solely darcia. and at the same time, trying to gather some colleges, trying to get some information actually, who in the region not only is here in a so, but in other countries speeds a control. for example, surgery, yahoo in the region can help you go to become us militants and try to help relieve those hostages. for example, cuts are already offered its help very early on since october 7th, because obviously to our be one of the main financial back or a promise militants have a very close concept context with, with, with the tires,
8:07 pm
organization. the question is about whether, whether they will be able to help and relieve those hostages before a potential ground defensive thoughts or any offensive. because as we're hearing the one of the sports person of a i, the, if you're sitting now, it doesn't necessarily actually have to be around defensive, it could be anything else. so there are a lot of things that are rooms that remain unclear. so if it remains unclear what is happening exactly right now with those hostages that trap just like the police see me and people in gaza strip and finding us present, joe biden, arriving in israel tomorrow. what can we expect from his trip to where you have 4 of solidarity use? sony dirty or with israel? something that obviously your secretary of state by then, but also your secretary of state blinking, excuse me, has a, as dawn on his mili store that keeps continuing as well as the us secretary or of, of,
8:08 pm
of defense has been here in east run as well. but also obviously that visit that expect to visit by president, abide and here in israel is another way to show the tourist making show that for example, that has the militants and live on on. but also the t, ron, do not get involved to make sure they see a solution here before the conflict may be widening and finding river protests where they're behind you with the same thing. first, bring them home or referring to the hostages. thank you so much for your reporting there. intel, a beef that is dw funny, such are the 2800 people have died in the gaza strip, including dozens in the south where israel told civilians from the north to take shelter. 8 workers. they have a territory is on the verge of collapse, as it runs out of a central's. in time neighborhoods raise to rubble is really strikes, continue to stockton buildings across garza, on the ground here and rough uh the scramble to rescue people trapped onto the day
8:09 pm
bri off to a recent strike. demolished an apartment building, rushing the injured to hospital, and lining up the bodies of those killed outside the move. residents here, so they have no way to go. i have no electricity, no water, no internet, no, not peace, no milk. but even if we die from hunger, we will stay here and we will not leave. in 5 days, we witnessed bones full on houses, corpses in the street. we fled to the you and school. we thought it was safe, but they targets data and people died. 2 thousands of people from across goes that have left the homes and headed south to rough uh, in recent days of to being told to evacuate by. israel. mediators have so far
8:10 pm
failed to negotiate a ceasefire that would allow foreigners to leave garza and the only buddha into egypt. so for many, it is a difficult wait for them to be comfortable with the 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 up with you and he is dangerous. and that we want it to solve this problem so that we can travel up in and out of himself, according to us, secretary of state and 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 in a growing humanitarian crisis. margin, frank is the director of the world food program. here in berlin. i asked him what
8:11 pm
supplies or lasting garza as well. we estimate that the forward stock in the gaza strip um the remains sufficient for a maximum of 2 weeks. so we already saw to, to distribute the bread in the shelters. 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 a your organization is able to access and which has been often that's 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 in 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,
8:12 pm
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 or? 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 central infrastructure is not being such as the water pumping station or food installations. or we have seen is that auto 5 middles inside because of strip only one is still operational,
8:13 pm
but 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. thank. we do have some news coming in. the gaza health ministry says at least 500 people have been killed and is really error striking a hospital in gaza city because they are impossible was said to be filled with wounded answer. those seeking shelter if this is confirmed, it would be the deadliest is riley airstrikes in recent years. and is really military spokesperson has said that there are no details on the blast. and we heard it just earlier, a urgent call from the world food program for humanitarian aid to get into gaza. i spoke earlier to our correspondent rebecca rivers and i asked her if there is any clarity on how and when this might happen. yeah,
8:14 pm
that's right. glad time is really running out. as we know we've been saying for days, food fuel, water, electricity has been off the days, but food fuel water is also fast running out. we hear that the hospitals are running out of supplies and the people are going to start running out of drinking water as which will create all sorts of other problems and water born diseases and the like. so the humanitarian situation for the people now living in gaza, fleeing the nose to the south, where aware of around about 600000 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 why it is a cool for the humanitarians. safe, so called safe zones. but just prior to coming on a claim, we were getting reports that a you in school that about 4000 people with sheltering has been hit there have been casualties and even,
8:15 pm
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 pit that that's 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 collect truly or top, get to it for some reason as the paypal situation. so the people 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 rafter crossing is also a talk of trying to get at least some jo nationals out of the country. but, but so far, none of these efforts have come to fruition. but of course with president biden's visit tomorrow, that is going to be high on his agenda. do you think as by didn't arrives in israel tomorrow that we can expect him to raise concerns about the humanitarian crisis and also about civilian casualties and gaza? absolutely, that.
