which hit the hospital in gaza. i repeat, this is the responsibility of the slot, make jihad that killed innocence in the hospital in garza. but the palestinian medicine group is nomic jihad say the i know behind the explosion. the palestinians in the west bank. so blame israel to the hospital last couple days into protest and ramallah, just hours later, price to sold, a darcy with palestinians and goals that took place in jordan, lebanon, iraq, donasia, the menus continue minutes. we won't remain silent team. this is a message for all arrow but non arab countries. most of them are not sure yet. we will not be silent. we support the palestinian calls and we're against what's

happening in gaza. and the new see of the 3 of you have the the hospital explosion and say, prompted palestinian president mac mood, abbas to cancel his meeting in jordan with us president joe biden. he says he needs to be in his home 9th, during this big o. d. u d w. correspondents in his real rebecca writers is near the is ready city us for thought not far from the border with gaza. and earlier we asked or what more do we know about the hospital incident? the strike happened to the hospital in gauze and city in an area that has been given an evacuation order by the is riley miller tree. but many in phone people not able to move and many others who have no way o means of moving. also taking shelter in that hospital, it's believe many of the people in there were in fact, fleeing bombing further north. the,

the initial report said that 2 to 300 people were killed. but that number probably sitting unhelpful, forwarded quickly, raised to 500. and it's likely that that number could rise making it one of the deadliest attacks in any guns of war since 2008. now, the condemnation of this attack was quick as you can imagine, 500 plus people the world health organization as well as many arab states. jordan, iran, turkey, katasha, they've all come out condemning this attack and we're starting to see protests to emerge some in jordan and elsewhere in the westbank, a people protesting this attack. now, these ready made a treat has issued a statement initially they said they were investigating and looking into the matter . they've now issued a statement. blaming that last on and is like g had misfire. they say that it analysis shows that a badge of rockets was fired by islamic jihad and that it was bought, they were fined me in the hospital and that one of them missed 5 and hit that house

when i was really difficult to independently verify that information particularly with the lack of access and the ongoing operation. there is relatives in thousands target civilian infrastructure, but it has been known to in the past and earlier today you in school was also targeted, killing 6 people. so at her, her risk pick a incident by, by any, by whichever means this, this has happened this evening. they don't do correspond to rebecca richards reporting from israel. they're well, earlier i spoke with alexandra say at the head of humanitarian policy and advocacy at safe the children international. and she told me what her colleagues in gods are saying about conditions there. i mean for the past 10 days, our colleagues and goals that have just told us that the situation is incredibly desperate over the past couple of days. but they've been rashed in water bottles. they've been displaced. many of our own colleagues have had to leave their homes.

uh they are, they're running our food. i barely any electricity. i mean. and, and worst of all the, they're running out of hope. people are telling us that they're incredibly hot. they, they don't have any hope in the current situation. the situation is, is incredibly dire. and it's children that are paying the price to best, you know, more than or about half of the population in gaza, our children. and so when you hear that, you know, the families that don't have enough water, it's, it's really children that are paying the price to buy. so this is extremely alarming or very learned about the situation and, and yeah, it just, incredibly worrying. tell us about the situation of age and guys, because clarity from your what you're telling us there. obviously, dire conditions, very difficult at to do your work and help people there. so what are you, is your organization doing to, to try and actually help people? what is actually being done on a, on a day to day basis there or?

well, this is what i mean, the situation where the aide is, is all i mean, we're not able to get it in the borders are closed. but also we can't move around safely, we can't get in until the thing stops until there's at least some sort of pause. we've managed to distribute a few items here in there, but i mean even before this, most recent crisis, 80 percent of the population, gaza relied on humanitarian assistance just to survive. so imagine that on top of the last week, i mean it's, it's really unconscious of all what's happening. and so we're, we're really trying, i mean, you, you should be here in the news about negotiations about, you know, getting, getting aid. and so we're waiting and we're asking governments, we're asking we're leaders to, to step off and, and, and try to negotiate, to get aid in humanitarian assistance, a fuel, medical supplies, food, water, it's all needed right now. i think sandra sy,
