[000:00:00;00] the this is dw news, live cumberland, rafa crossing between egypt and gaza has reopened vital age has started to enter the palestinian territory trucks with medicines, food and water for civilians and gaza have been stuck there for days. late groups, phase deliveries are nowhere near enough. also coming up, international leaders are in egypt for a summer to discuss ways to de escalate the conflict between israel and health and you know,

attend that state prime ministers as well as foreign ministers. are hoping to find a way to prevent a wider regional close to mosse releases to american hostages. housing dot mother and her daughter were among the more than 200 people kidnapped during her bosses deadly attacks on his route. 2 weeks, the married a. m staying, it's good to have you with us. the roof of border crossing between egypt and gaza has reopened for humanitarian aid. and vehicles have been entering the pals to be in territory with vital supplies. these pictures are from the egypt sign at the russell crossing, which is the only entry point into the territory outside of israel. the crossing was reopened a few hours ago and a humanitarian. 8 convoy has entered gaza carrying food, water,

and medicine. foreigners who have been waiting to leave the enclave have also gathered at the border. it's not known how long the crossing will remain open. will the united nations has warned that the health system in gaza is on the brink of collapse? i asked lin hastings the un humanitarian coordinator in the palestinian territories . if 20 trucks with age could make any difference. yes, it will make a difference to those few people who are to receive, but it's a drop in the bucket. what we are calling for is a stain increasing daily deliveries of going forward in the next period. so these 20 trucks, yes, welcome start. but not nearly enough. can you perhaps walk us through the process of mediation that led to the reopening of the roof of border crossing?

so i know the talks were going for quite a long time. why did it take so long? a part of the reason the course is because there's a number. busy different parties involved as riley's egyptians, the partners who are trying to deliver to military assistance, various ma'am other member states, etc. so there's a lot of, as i said, different parties who. busy and that's a big part of the issue. another part of the issue, of course, is every member state or party has some of their own interests um, but also just different requirements, etc, which really needs to be settled. and unfortunately, because you, mandatory and assistance should be unconditional. and what about those who hold for and passports and the thousands were waiting to leave gauze time? could they be allowed to leave at some point in the next couple of hours? i don't know, there are many, many rumors around again, there's a number of different parties who are involved and that we meet consent there,

safety and security issues of course involved. and again, each member state has a different methodology in terms of dealing with their own national staff at the united nations. we are hoping to be able to get some non essential staff out. but we also want to be bringing in other staff to replace those people who have been in guys are under very, very difficult circumstances. so they can rotate. and so that we bring in new staff who have are, are, are exhausted yet, and will be able to contribute and support the ongoing operations as we stay and deliver or un secretary general is among those who are calling for a ceasefire. what can you tell us about efforts to achieve this? and so we've been calling for is monitoring ceasefire for several days now. it's needed for us to be able to deliver assistance without it. we do have other mechanisms called

a notification system whereby we informed the current parties that we're trying to move. but what we really need is a humanitarian ceasefire to be able to deliver assistance to where people are. that was lyn hastings, un humanitarian coordinator in the palestinian territories, speaking a short time ago. well, international leaders are in egypt for a summit, addressing the conflict between israel and palestine in milton groups. more than 20 prime ministers for ministers and regional leaders are taking part. the meeting in cairo is aimed at the escalating the conflict and assuring that humanitarian aid reaches civilians in the gaza strip. the conferences being hosted by egyptian president of del santo l. c. c. well, at the summit, german foreign minister on the lena bear book called for a new piece process in the middle east, which would lead to an independent palestinian state next to israel. here's what

she had to say to mr. president for gathering as that here in egypt. and this really and father, whose eyes uh, sort of crying whose wife and 2 little daughters has been brutally abducted quite harmless, terrace. mazda in gaza, to his desperate for sorrow with sorrow, because she confines drinking water for her little baby, fearing that the violence will cost well with dims for other family members. the family in lebanon, who is worried about the violence escalating to her country across the region. we see terrible human grief and fear. and let me be, is very clear. there is no doubt all civilian lice meta

just the same. and let me be also clear, the cost of all the suffering of these past weeks, the suffering that brings us here today, the suffering of the little girls, the mother, the families, have a name. it was how most the brought to run this turbo but use read on october 7th, committing atrocious fines like any another country in the world is right and has the right to defend itself and to protect its people against this terrible, within the framework of international that's why the german government strongly stands and solidarity was useful for germany. the security of the state of east red is non negotiable. what is also clear is that the perpetrators of this terror. 2 do not speak for the post union people. they speak only

for themselves. they speak the language of terror. the post union mothers and fathers in gaza, struggling to find drinking water for the children. do not speak the language of terror. that brothers and sisters in the west bank, in jordan, or 11 on who are afraid of regional escalation, do not speak the language of terror. we hear in this room do not speak that language. we speak the language of international law, of human entities, of peaceful co existence. that's what unites us. in this sense, i appeal to everyone to stand up against terrorism. so i appeal to everyone to distinguish between terrorist and the civilian population at all times.

and i appealed to everyone to not fan the flames of hatred because that is exactly what, how much and this one's those want to risk further, regional escalation, to divide us. this terrace plan must not play out. that is why the fight against some us must be carried out with the greatest possible consideration for the humanitarian situation. for the innocent men, women and children in gaza, that is also why we must not now join. please step up. our efforts to help those most in need gemini has increased its human at air in a to god. 6 by $50000000.00 euros, we encourage all this including from the region to join this cost

a some have already and now is to do so. it is crucial, stepping up our humanitarian goods. it is crucial that humanitarian goods can now go into java via russell. and i would like to think you did gyptian government and us partners as well as the united nations for your efforts in this but we know that more help will be needed to evaluate the suffering. and i'm glad that here in this room, we agree that ultimately this region needs a new piece process that will allow bose is released and palestinians to live peacefully and securely side by side in a 2 independent states. this may sound far away today to but only adjust its last thing. solution would also mean the ultimate defeat from us and its playbook, which is based on

a complete rejection of human energy of diplomacy. the object, this is really goals, the mother in gaza. the families 11 and then need us know they need as the international community to speak, the language of humanity. she'll call use ro is planning to evacuate. the northern city of kerry arch mona, near the border with 11 on the following days of classes with has the law fighters . the city is home to 20000 people and is just 2 kilometers from the border. is really authorities have been steadily evacuating communities all along the northern frontier. cl, anita goldstein have driven up to k yet simona to pick up the father. level to tell

actually the situation he said right now is very difficult, like my brother say, what, you know, what we're going to in no one is can be tough. that's it. no one is can be done. this is not all over the world need to understand. we're going to fight and fight on residents splitting the law. so now joining tens of thousands of his race who have left that homes in the south. near a garza home us has freed to american hostages. the mother and daughter were among the some 200 people, abducted by him off during his terror attacks on israel. 2 weeks ago. you as president joe biden said he was over joyed by the release of mother and daughter walk to freedom nearly 2 weeks after being taken hostage by the is the most militant group him us to american citizens, held by him us since october 7th were released these 2 americans are now safely
