the water and gauze off would be difficult and long one. by friday evening, more of our ground forces entered into gospel of the stronghold of hamilton most of their ship. this is the 2nd phase of the war and its goals are clear of some of the destruction of the military and govern mental deep abilities of homosexual to new york and bringing home to hostages. the fema bike is right, has been telling civilians in northern garza to seek safety in the south. but many cousins fear they might never be able to return to the homes. of corresponding rebecca rivers is in style. it's close to the guns of border in southern israel. rebecca, israel is talking about the 2nd stage of its operation and gaza. do we know what this 2nd stage specifically entails? of the? well, i haven't given a huge amount of detail on exactly what the military operation is planned on what

month to what they've planned, as you can imagine. but we are from where we're standing, which is just a couple of kilometers from the north, east, and gauze, and border behind us. so you can see the city of bait noon. we came here near continuous strikes, both artillery as trifles have more to strikes. and i've also been able to hear this morning, especially at the moment having a little bit of a low haven't been relatively quiet in the last few moments. but earlier this morning we could hear both heavy and light machine gun fire suggesting that there is actually come not happening on the ground. we've been able to also see through some certain length and some tanks on the other side. so that way i can just hear and outgoing 5 a make line full in sight noon. and so we, we all seeing and hearing that 2nd phase, we know that they've ramped up ground forces. is there any military wrapped up ground forces inside garza? and that is certainly part of the 2nd phase is benjamin netanyahu was pulling at

last night. uh exactly, the tactics we don't know. we think it is less likely to be these major ground invasion ground. uh, ground incursions that we will 1st thinking and talking about we've seen a huge troop numbers now it looks more likely that they're going to continue with this kind of slow. and they did say it was going to take a very long time. and it certainly seems at the moment that they're trying to in circle certain cities, particularly garza city. so you can hear occasionally artillery fire, and no doubt you've seen some trace of the fighting in the form of smoke rising over guns. and, but i wonder, is there any information trickling out about the degree of resistance is really forces are getting from us at this point i'll just say that it isn't actually that infrequent what we're hearing. hearing. i also 5 digits i've had at the moment. it's actually been quite close to just at the moment where he's saying a little bit of a reprieve, although i think it's about to pay top

a game in terms of not sliding back. it's almost impossible for us to, to know exactly what's happening on the ground. in fact, it is impossible. we don't get these updates in real time. and of course, when not a journalist or anyone else, in fact is able to get access to the, to, to inside the goals and folder. so in terms of how significantly they're finding back, i don't know, they have said how much i'm talking about. have said that they already for a ground invasion that you know, they've been preparing for. they see will it come to no surprise to them is rouse reaction to the events of october the 7th as so they say that they are prepared. they of course know that's the street very well in fact built these underground temp tunnel networks. and i know the, the lay of the line incredibly well. they say they prepared and they say they're ready to fight back. we do know that a couple of soldiers to in fact, one engine civilian another one motor at laser, the figures that we have so far. but of course, the longer this goes on the more casualties when likely to say, rebecca, we only have about 20 seconds or so. but i do want to ask you,

we understand that communication network appears to be working again and gosh, what do you hear from their of the i'm actually it's, i've just been in touch with a colleague around in gaza. they have been able to restore communication, who's being able to re, re charge in fact is, is ready some kind of be able to, again, have access to the outside world. but we know that the situation day, they condition monetary and situation is increasing. the dies and reporting on it, and uh, you know, that being backed up with what he had to say. he in fact said that he had heard about these rights things from arrived in history firing again to that, that having of the warehouses. so people that in very dire situation on the other side of the border, rebecca reiterates ethan's, developed in southern israel many thanks. let's welcome the on that they won the media and communications advisor for the norwegian refugee council, an independent organization that protects the rights of people affected by

displacement. he joins us from amman of med welcome. what are your colleagues in gaza telling you about the situation there? thanks for having may actually we manage to get a short message from one of our 64 colleagues on the ground in garza it was a 58 seconds message, which he said that a signal was back. network was back, but they still don't know what was happening around him. he reported not being able to identify with it with the sounds of the if the next farm was, was, was going to come from, oh, it was coming from. he wasn't tables, you know, if the rest of his comedy was a life or not. today this morning, the full scale of what happens over the past 36 hours is starting to review and the numbers are starting to jump the numbers. it's chilled and changes. hospitals cannot cope and there are people still come to the rep who,

who were not able to to uh, try someone to pull the ambulance. so um, yeah, i mean, sadly it's, it's going from about to, to us thing jobs at the moment. the when says there are worrying signs that civil order is breaking down. we in the media have been reporting for days now. the people are running out of food and water. when will that likely happen? for sure. and what do you fear? the breaking point will look like, as it is happening, i mean we've chief warning about it's happening, but it is happening already. there are people who are literally surviving. all one loves with bright today plus lovely, some so salty. was it just happening? we're just not seeing them live on television, that are people who are taking the chance to, to uh, to get ahold of a kind of a friend of people who are spending 5 hours to just find one parts of the actual

that they can use to come for to out to their homes. i think the, the trickle of bank that is arriving of course the for the gaza is giving the impression the ages arriving. and while this is true, it is nowhere near enough. so there is a human task happening. we've heard about, you know, just because having to do with outs, painkillers and children having to drink contaminated for so it is all unfolding and it's all about now still thinking back from guessing was from telling more people. we don't know for sure how many people are dying from, from, from all the solar causes we know about the bombardment that is intensifying almost everywhere. and garza, this is why we need more, right? uh generally for those people or guardians responding to is really calls for them to move south of the what it goes to the valley. yes. yes. and no, no, because i've heard accounts of people making their way to southern cars are

realizing that life was not much safe for that. that was the constant bombardment. we have seen that, you know, a rockets hitting and bombs hitting homes, residential homes, and then my colleagues told me about relatives who made the way back from southern mazda to, to northern gaza. and again, from northern, gather the southern guns. i mean there's this, that tells me there's no safe spot. there is no safe corner and cars or whether that is because of a fall. since that is because of, you know, the basics of life, the bread, the bolts or the food and, and just to say here, finally, a rest bite in john's at the moment is getting a full 2 hour as a, as a now during the day because there is just simply no child so you can get any sleep during the night. goodness that is ok. med be around from the norwegian refugee council. many time many thanks for your time sir. thank you.
