of trees starts october 28th on d, w. the, this is the domain use live from, but then to major escalation, israel's of war against have mass. he's really ministry says it's expanding its ground operations in the gaza strip. it's also ramping up, as that strikes on target in the territory as it moves closer to launching the full scale round invasion. biggest amounts also coming up the un ones of looming humanitarian catastrophe. for the 2000000 people trapped in kaiser communications

on down in the territory and international aid has been reduced to a trickle the antonio logical and welcome to the program. there are growing signs that as well could be on the brink of launching a full scale ground invasion of gaza. israel's ministry says it's expanding its ground operations that and his launch a massive aerial bombardment, knocking out communications and targeting the terrorist. a group home us. as night fell over gaza, israel stepped to a page bobbing campaign. again. israel names to degrade the military capabilities. how must has to the greatest degree possible as well shows or thoughts in the last few hours we increased the strikes and gaza available through the falls through striking underground terrace facilities and terrorist facilities in

a very significant way. membership left the following, the series of strikes of the last few days, the ground forces are extending the ground operation tonight. israel has steadily been increasing its incursions into gaza using mobile units was tired and supported by jets drones, a steady stream of attacks before and expected full scale invasion and the warning for me. so i love friday. it's accusers how most of using causes largest medical complex the i'll ship a hospital, us that ministry operational headquarters with medical facilities are used for their purposes. they're liable to lose the protection from a tech in accordance with international law. the challenge israel faces, i'll, she, for hospital has become a refuge from the bombing, the 10s of thousands of palestinians. israel has not yet succeeded in stopping how

must finding rockets over the boulder from gaza. the minutes a group saves the 5 to a number of solve those on friday, the rockets light, this one would show to a residential building in terms of eve, wounding several. this raise a reminder that the terrorist threat from how much is still very much alive, dw correspondent in jerusalem is tonya at cram i, and she told us more about the latest developments as far as the, it's hard in the repose that has been in training school environment from the ever those so it's hillary on because a strip in the past hours are so much heavier than what we seen and heard in the past evening and evenings and nights. the military is really military, confirm that they're expanding their ground operations, but we do not know and what scale or in more to scope,

this is actually happening there. where in the early evening, some reports palestinian report saying the tongue for the ended in the noise. and we also had statements by because some brigades, the military ring off minutes in good hands saying that there while in clashes in the area, afraid her noon. that is the town in the north east, in garza to it's near the border and also in bush that is in the center of the gulf strip. you cannot verify this independently. there's also not much information coming out. there's a total back out at the moment in the gaza strip. as you mentioned a blackout in the gaza strip. so i'll we hearing anything from there. is it possible to get any news from the well, it's very difficult to some of the satellite channels that are still broadcasting pictures from there and getting out some information. but we understand that the posting in telecom and provide a to

a while. this is one of the largest ones that have sent that communication lines. and also the internet services have been cut through out of the gaza strip, but also to reach people outside already in the past days, phone lines for extremely shaky and there were only at certain hours you could reach people. we also heard from several humanitarian organizations. slight such as w h or the red red cost with the same you kind of reach, i was hipaa anymore inside the gaza strip. and it's also very difficult if you imagine this situation for people that are there. so many thousands of people are displaced within the cause and strip. and uh, you know, people have been using those phone lines and internet text message to reach out and see it's this heavy bombardment to see how family members are doing. and this is becoming virtually impossible and also many of them, right. and when we sort of expecting a major announcement, if israel,

where to go ahead with, it's when it's gone defensive. we're expecting that to be announced formally. well, i think they will do this in due course. they might not even really announce that because we've seen, you know, a build up to this in the past days that were so quote, rates, a targeted rates into the goals and strip. and then the, the army released also some video materials where they could see the time some infantry went into inside a golf. and not usually very far inside garza so we are expecting to hear at some point, you know, what is happening there exactly tonight. and what is the scale and the scope of it? and then we will see this continuing most likely in the coming days or dw tonya criminal in jerusalem. thank you for that. yeah, frank ledge,

which is a military analyst in the u. k. he has more on the signs that point to a major increase in these really on the operations in gaza. the 1st is the communications blackout, which will include the electronic uh, wolf uh to denali thomas communications. so i would say not for the last few hours, and we'll say got that go on. not when it includes cyber a cyber attacks, as well as well as taking down the radio towels. the 2nd indication is a huge bombardment. and maybe i'll talk about something suitable here, a thumbs or a big joke at a rate of about one, every heavy bones every 10 seconds. and final it easy, it is the announcement to be as ready, defense voltage plus an i i so this as well. uh, the, the way the price is picking up the house, they do the same. it is very types of conducting at least a rate installs. i live up the us are advising the i congress, whether sales is running out food or to running out. the state of does a,

i've started over throwing. we said we gather is on debris of, of my safe heads as well as the risk of diseases looming. all of this is mag west by the fuel shortages around 200000 people in shouts has received fresh bread from the wells, food program every day. and the few bakeries it is still open a producing a fraction of what they, what before the crisis began, or no other options this woman is resorted to using what type of paper she can sign this field to by clicking on the streets the, and we've gone to good floor under bombardment from the deceased area. and we've brought firewood from the streets and were risking our lives looking for paper out of town on the hop on for sure. what are some look up? the fresh water is also in short supply, many in gauze,

a non queueing up for the bottles and kindest is unsure of in the next delivery might make it through gaza house so. so if he's willing to the hospital, isn't it blanking point? lacking medicine and fuel to carry out essential operations. humanitarian situation on the ground is a key increasingly bleak. we're going to do this woman unable to breast feed, her baby unlocking access to milk affairs, to west orange. i need the slice. my son, skin is grad to be turning yellow due to the lack of breast feeding. what does he done wrong? what does this say be done wrong? this man, once a day, if his wife and 8 months old baby boasts were killed and it is right. i strike despite terribly. it is rarely assurances that southern guns would be spared. it seems nowhere it's safe in the street and fields about escalation will only be exacerbated by the sheer scale of the humanitarian crisis. the un says it

will have to halt its operations in gaza if fuel is not allowed into the territory . so my headed from the norwegian, rough refugee council, told us more about the situation on the ground. is an absolute catastrophe. full over 2000000 people in golf because food is running out, water is running out and medicine is running out and the aid that has come through is just not enough. it's nowhere near and off, and fuel is not being allowed to be delivered into gaza. hospitals need fuel to keep operating. water pumps require fuel bakeries require fuel. so it's an absolute catastrophic situation on the events to night in, in gaza. a terrifying gauze of right now is on the a full communications blackouts. and with the announcement that the is raise, the government has launched

a ground operation. we feared for the worst of the medical uh, equipment and supplies that are coming through a simply not enough and hospitals right now need fuel. they need fuel and electricity to keep running so that they can treat people with the right medical supplies in care. and this is just not happening right now, and with this escalation in violence with a is really ground operation being launched into gaza. we will see widespread civilian bloodshed and even more destruction to civilian infrastructure. so i'll lead to the international community is to in this horrific suffering. some of the data from the norwegian for refugee council speaking to dw earlier. now the united nations general assembly has adopted a resolution demanding a humanitarian truce and gaza. the resolution drafted by an arab states is not

binding, but carries a symbolic weight. it demands immediate and durable, and sustained humanitarian truce between israel and a mass. israel and the united states voted against the resolution or is downed in cold from mclean majority of nations. to stop the violence in gaza. the resolution was proposed by jordan in the name of $22.00 arab states and calls for an immediate durable and sustained humanitarian truce. malice investment my though to targeting civilian island, no to terrorism, no to violating international humanitarian law. now the cost no to bombard in hospitals and medical centers, no to killing children, no to the siege, and no to cutting off all basic necessities of life, no to forcible displacement in liquidating the rights of people. who are the bustle? no, to genocide, have them done? i all people most are equal. so the resolution is non binding. an earlier version

calling a ceasefire was amended before the votes. while this resolution passed with $120.00 countries in favor, 14 verse it against including the us to criticize the resolution for failing to mention him aust, by name and the hostages held in gaza. these are omissions of people and they give cover to and they empower her. mazda is brutality. mister president is rose. you invested us at the vote, which was a moment that would go down, and in for me, we eval. witnessed. the un no longer holds even one ounce of legitimacy or relevance. this organization was founded in the wake of the whole coast for the purpose of preventing atrocities. yet the spect tech code we just saw approves beyond the doubt that the u. n. is committed, sadly, tragically,

not to preventing but ensuring for the atrocities the un cold for a break and hostilities has been welcomed by hum us. but 3 weeks into the war is riley strikes on gaza only intensifying and dismissing the resolution. israel said it will keep using every means edits, disposal, to fight him off. i think he is update business as of next. sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for. but we've got something for you. imagine that you're eating a hamburger. and as you're biting into this juicy burner, your dining companion says to you, actually the hamburger is not made from cows. it's made from golden retrievers.
