israel says the mos routinely uses civilians as human shields in gaza and that includes hospitals today the as real defense forces claim that the el she for hospital and gaza is being used by her mos militants. or does that make the hospital a legitimate target for the israelis? we put that question to a spokesman for the idea earlier today. it's a, uh, and this is a big if, you know, there are some protections that hospitals are entitled to this. there is a military action taking place from the hospital. there is a charles that could lose those protections. this is why today we are right, raising a very serious red flag to the international community. it's a call on from us to leave the hospitals, and it's not just those chief hospital. unfortunately, they have basically established come on and control positions and several hospitals,
3:34 am
all the hospitals using the facilities of the hospital, but also on the ground complex's on the comp, pounds and uh, with access points from outside the hospital, into the subterranean capabilities, off of a, a she fund the and the headquarters and come on in control of or that was peter learned and spokesman for the israel defense forces. speaking with this earlier, the united nations has called for uninterrupted access to gaza to meet the basic needs of civilians. they are the you with humanitarian coordinator for jobs. it says that the situation on the ground is catastrophic. food, clean water, electricity and medicine are all running out. israel begin enforcing a blockade of gaza after october 7, some trucks with supplies and been allowed inside the territory this week, but not nearly enough for 2000000 people in the gaza strip. the relentless
3:35 am
plumbing continued somebody at the time from the c. i'm in dire warnings that the chicken nobody that is getting in is nowhere near enough basic services. a company where this thing is running out food and water. running out the state of does a, i've started all the throwing we said, which doesn't, is on the brink of, of my safety has as low as a risk of diseases looming. all of this is mag west, by the fuel shortages around 200000 people. and 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 that before the crisis began. with 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 been the and we've gone to good floor under
3:36 am
bombardment from the deceased area and we've brought firewood from the streets and were risking our lives looking for paper out of the time on the huffman for sure. what are some look up? the fresh water is also in short supply many in gaza and now queuing up for the bottles canisters, i'm sure when the next delivery might make it smooth. garza health so. so if he's willing to the hospital, isn't it breaking point? lacking medicine and fuel to carry out essential operations? humanitarian situation on the ground is a key increasingly bleak. this woman, unable to breast feed her baby unlocking access to milk affairs, the west, and just need the slice. my son skin is gradually turning yellow due to the lack of breast feeding. what is he done wrong? what is this a be done wrong? this man, once a day, if his wife and 8 months old baby boasts were killed and it is right,
3:37 am
the ash strike despite tally it is really assurances that southern gauze would be sped. 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. but i'm joined now by some of her the she's the head of advocacy, communications and media at the norwegian refugee counseling. she joins us tonight from the jordanian capital, amman, it's good to have you with this. you know, we have been warned that this would happen the you with relief and works agency for palestinian refugees, says it will be forced to halt its operations in gossip. what does this mean for the more than 2000000 people in need? and let me ask you what your organization have to do, the se, as well. it means 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
3:38 am
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. and 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 and a ground operation. uh, we feared for the worst. yeah, i mean, i just wanna be clear, are you saying that your organization is also going to have to hold its operations in garza? well, we've had to uh, scale down a operations because of the environment and the lack of safety for our colleagues on the ground. we've continued to deliver cash assistance to support civilians and
3:39 am
families to buy basic food items and other items on the market. the aid relief is nowhere near enough to need the growing needs on the ground. the main. we need an urgent scale up of 8 old crossings. need to be opened. these really government has to list it's cj oscar of garza. and what about the situation in terms of medical care? we know there are reports that many about a 3rd, if not more of the hospitals in gaza and basically shut down our our things improving as aids slowly begins to trickle into the territory. i think it was a report that what 10 european doctors have arrived 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
3:40 am
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 garza, 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. coal for a ceasefire. enough is enough, was this catastrophe is on folding and gaza will lead as a still debating over a ceasefire at the united nations. it's simply not good enough and they must step up their efforts. miss, i did want to ask you what you've been hearing from your people on the ground in gone. so you know that the is really military says that a moss is using at least one hospital as, as its headquarters. we're civilians where patients are also be housed
3:41 am
a senior people. can they confirm claims like that? have your people encountered a mos militants on the ground? these claims cannot be concerned. and what we've seen over the past few weeks is indiscriminate. is really bombardment of, of gauze as a has a hit civilian infrastructure, has led to civilian casualties on a wide spread scale. a thousands of children have lost their lives on the is really bombardment. so we need the international community to really focus on ending the suffering and presenting further bloodshed. they really do need to step up and called for a ceasefire. somebody from the norwegian refuge account. we appreciate your time tonight. thank you. as thank you. the european union is calling for humanitarian pauses to the findings so that aid
3:42 am
can reach the people of gauze of the year. his also agreed to a spanish proposal to hold a peace conference between israel and homos within 6 months. dw jack pier reports an agreement. despite the deep divisions between the leaders that brussels summit, the quote to lead efforts to arrange an international peace conference, to try to find a way i to violence in the middle east includes this size and it's a good sign because it's now about using diplomatic possibilities to my, to, to not preparing them is not without its physical based on that has to be said. as of because i've been, it's widely agreed that the how much terrorist group wouldn't be invited to such a come friends following their attack on israel, which you need is of university condemned. also expressing that supports the israel, the right to defend itself. but with pressure from countries like spain and ireland, the lead is also agreed to cool for humanitarian pools is to allow aid into gaza.
3:43 am
friends went one step further with the plan to clump together e u. countries who want to do more for the humanitarian, the situation is i know we are going to build a humanitarian coalition with several european countries, particularly cyprus, which will serve as a base for the humanitarian c corridor mining team. the lead is also discussed the plan to renegotiate the you budget to provide an additional 50000000000 your age in economic support, the ukraine baton gary and prime minister, big to old man, recently photographed shaking hands with russian president vladimir putin in beijing veto the plan. the moment i mean that everyone knows, but they don't dare say it out loud that this strategy has failed. it's obvious that this won't work. the ukrainians will not win on the front line phones will know for a lot of us. that's true to the it's all just with the the you position and lead is will pressure hungary to drop it's vito in the months between now and the gathering
3:44 am
here in brussels just before christmas. well, the government in key will no doubt be troubled by europe, not agreeing to send more. h a. u, craig. the w's brussels bureau chief, alexander phenomena tells us more. well, what we got was there. we assurance that the you is ready to continue supporting q crane as long as it's needed for the country to win the war, wherever they were not able to for instance, agree in details on what they actually had already promised to key. if the data they want to support key if would 50000000000 euros in the next 4 years. so that's the plan. but there are still countries 1st and foremost hungry that are blocking says proposal. so i think that this is quite boring for key if that they were not able to agree on that here. well,
3:45 am
there was more impassioned debate today in an emergency section of the you in general assembly in new york, when all of a sudden done a resolution calling for a humana cherry intrusion was pass. now that true, sure that resolution is not binding. it was drafted by the us 22 nation era group who point to the failure of the security council earlier this week to take action. israel has rejected the resolution, so to the united states, whose ambassador was blunt in her objections. it is outrages that this resolution fails to name the perpetrators of the october 7th terrorist attack her mice, how much it is outrages or another key word missing in this resolution is hostage. these are omission, some people and they give cover to and they empower her mouse is brutality and
3:46 am
no member state. no member state should allow that to happen because it's october 7th. the united states has quickly re focused it's attention onto the middle east, both diplomatically annual, apparently, on friday, us warplanes struct targets in eastern syria, that the pentagon said were linked to iran's revolutionary guard. us defense secretary lloyd austin, gave more details saying these precision self defense strikes are a response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks against us personnel interact in syria by iranian backed militia groups that began on october 17th. the united states will not tolerate such attacks, it will defend itself, it's personnel and its interest. bradley bowman is a senior director of the center on military and political power at the foundation for
3:47 am
defense of democracies. he draws me from washington brand. it's good to see you again. there's a lot to talk about and to me, what's your reaction to these us strikes on it ran proxy targets in syria. what message is washington sending to tay wrong? as i think the by ministration was trying to reinforce then our roading american to turn. i mean we have seen more than 19 attacks on us forces in iraq and syria in the last 10 days. and i think this administration was that serious risk of leaving the impression that a wrong this terror proxies could attack our forces in a cost free way. so why would they not continue? and so i think this is an effort. clearly they said so explicitly to send a message hit to wrong that there wouldn't be costs. and there wouldn't be a response. and of this administration's prepared to defend us forces and us
3:48 am
address. but there's already reports that we've seen subsequent attacks following these more of a ron's proxies attacking our forces. busy it remains to be seen whether this attack was enough. the strikes followed what the whitehouse called a direct warning from president joe biden to rand supreme leader by a total of la from a need. i mean, how big of a deal is that? you know, it, it's good that the president expressed those warnings and the secretary defense. austin reiterated them, but i don't think that as long as the bulk of iran is particularly impressed by a communication statements out of washington, i think they are going to better understand the language of force unfortunately. uh, and this, this attack was a good step in that direction, but there were reports from people on the ground nearby that there were a lot of personal leaving these sites some and before the attacks came in, i, i said in the washington post early this week the syria was probably the right place to respond. it didn't take
3:49 am
a rocket scientist to figure that out. and so probably what we ended up hitting here. what we know we had were weapons and ammunition started sized probably with few folks in them. and we also know that these weapons from the sites were used to attack us forces. so here's a question i have congress is asking, how long did this administration know about these sites? and how long did they know the weapons of munitions from the sides were being attacked or used to attack our troops? and how long did they wait to to hit them? i think that's a serious question that i hope congress will be asking. yeah, weapons made in the usa. this is the string of attacks interact and in syria. what role or us troops playing right now in these countries? right. the primary purpose of the 900 or so us troops in syria and the 2500 or so troops in iraq is to keep the isis calsae defeated by working by width and through other people. so are
3:50 am
a wrong in russia and the savaging want us forces out of syria for a variety of reasons. but that would be a disaster. it would increase the chances that we see a resurgence in the eyes. this can. busy of what is the us position on israel's ground offensive, especially with us hostage is in the mix. i mean, is washington trying to, to, to slower down. i mean, we've heard words to that effect coming from the white house. the public position of the white house appears to be that they support israel's right to defend itself after the worst single day attack on view since the whole cost. and they're also eager to get all the hostages back. and there appears to be private conversations about some sort of permitting some sort of window to permit that to happen. but we also know that the boss would like to string this out forever and avoid avoid the day of justice for what they did on october 7th. what about the possibility of urban warfare going in to gone to meet that has to be a nightmare for,
3:51 am
for any command or for any general i'm. is that what the is really military has before it right now? yes. former us coming under a general david betray us with experience in iraq and afghanistan is called the mission study in front of israel. defense forces, quote, seamlessly difficult on quote. i think that's right because of the urban density there, because of a mazda is use of human shields because of, uh, the you wish they had many, many mazda is not yours to prepare. they know that territory better than those rallies, which should excite booby traps snipers improvise explosive devices. this will not be quick and will not be easy depending on the scope of his rarely objectives. and for that you go, let's, if we look at the, the big picture here, to what extent has the united states been this in gauging from the middle east? and do you think that, that this engagement is over now?
3:52 am
or i think the united states has been trying to reduce as military pos in the middle east for a long time. there's by person consensus here that china is the number one threat and we need to strengthen our capabilities on the end of pacific, but completely withdrawn from the middle. a. something that never happened and will not happen. would be a mistake because it will allow small problems to become bigger ultimately requiring us to send more us troops back to the middle east. unfortunately, what happens then really doesn't stay there. and core american interests are a stake. and i think these recent events are a reminder to washington about that in britain, me ask you, we've got a couple more questions. there are reports of the united states. i'm trying to get these really, to hold off on this ground invasion to give the us time to get a better air defense technologies sent to the region. what have you been hearing us announced a few days ago, they were sending a sam terminal high air altitude area defense of batteries,
3:53 am
of batteries singular to the middle east and patriot battalions of those are fundamental because i have a point your viewers to january 2020 attack by a wrong where the is ballistic missiles on to bases in oregon, a rock and more than a 100 americans have dramatic brain injuries. and that was because there was no ballistic missile defenses in the area. i just think washington wants to avoid and repeated that horrible about fred, but with as always, we cover a lot of material when we have you on the show. we appreciate it. thank you. thank you. of the one now to the outcry here in germany over climate activists. you see here behind me there, gretta tuned there the 20 year old swede and her fridays for future move, but it is under fire for what a growing number of critics say is anti semitism. it relates to a series of posts on the organizations instagram account down in one of the post to

3:55 am
a crude distortion of history, the immunization of israel, and now also conspiracy ideology. strong words there. a german government's commissioner against anti semitism as also wait in to this debate saying the fridays for future movement as disqualified itself as a role model for young people. climate active as in germany have already moved to distance themselves from this controversy. posting this on x, formerly known as twitter, know the international account as previously emphasized, does not speak for us. note, the post has not been coordinated with us. no, we do not agree with the concept and we wanted to let you know we reached out to fridays for future germany and to the central council for jews to get them to come on the show. they both declined to comment
