jobs november 25th from dw the . you're watching the news coming to live from berlin. residents of gauze, a desperate for basic supplies, united nations warren civil order is starting to break down after 3 weeks of war as hungry people break into its own storage centers. also coming off on the show, the families of people held hostage by hamas meet israel's prime minister netanyahu . they want the government to delay israel's military campaign and do more to secure the release of their loved ones. the

clare richardson, welcome the united nations as the humanitarian situation in gaza is growing more desperate by the hour. the un agency that overseas aid for palestinian says it's storage facilities in garza were broken into with thousands of people taking food and other vital supplies. the agency calls it a worrying sign that civil order is beginning to break down. and meanwhile, that is really military's as it hit more than 450 targets over the past day and it is increasing its troop presence inside gaza. it is the 23rd deal fighting in because there has been no let up and is why is that tax? and it has now declared garza city a battlefield. the scale of the destruction is plain to see

with the we want the war to stone. we lost our loved ones, our relatives are children. all of my siblings and their children are gone. but hundreds of homes and buildings in trouble. there is hardly any place left for civilians to seek shelter. but temporary communications blackout only added to the suffering of thousands. when he gets come on instantly, she was in a we could not check on her relatives and how to get down to the depths. and i let him know we've been calling them to check how they're doing them. and i live with that from but last night we couldn't be sufficient. people in the streets have become lifeless bodies. walk at, let's say i went on this here and they seem to share this. ryan has begun ramping up its ground operations from this are benjamin netanyahu said

the watering cause of would be difficult and long. mobile, it is friday evening. more of our ground forces entered into gauze of the strong hold of her muscles to most of their show. this is the 2nd phase of the war. the goals are clear about the destruction of the military and govern mental keep ability use of him off the street to new york and bringing home to hostages. the fema bike to this 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 . let's bring in our correspondent rebecca rivers in a star rock close to the gauze of border in southern israel. or rebecca is rarely prime minister. netanyahu has announced 8 2nd stage in this war. do we know what this will look like as well? i think what we're seeing as the 2nd phase is what we're saying unfolding in the last day or 2. we know that on friday will be as a result,

the largest bombardment image will say find that gave the military the opportunity to enter into gals or into the sort of ground defense saves that everybody has been expecting. but i think it's not exactly. however, one expect that it might be with a sort of $300000.00 troops. these, these kind of figured is being amassed at the border and that, that, you know, a very huge ground invasion may take place. in fact, what we're seeing is a much smaller ground invasion, though it has grown today from yesterday. even it with the more troops have gone in an earlier today, we could actually hit by a heavy and lights machine gun fire instead of indicating that the fight fighting was going on on the ground. not too far from where we were about a couple of kilometers from the guys and border. it's probably to down to say anything now, but old, a refrain saying that kind of constant bombardment we've been hearing on to the re fi. we not to file from ms. riley on salary point, you can hear the outgoing, quite often you were hearing that they at the 5 digits fly overhead,

and at the moment i can hear a 7 in strong as well. so this clearly stepping up, we've been here many times over the last couple of weeks and the last 2 days is this. so the 2nd phase has been launch the bombardment has really picked up. and i think what we're seeing now is in the 2nd phase is as i say, this sort of smaller ground offensive. and then was perhaps 4 or expected when everyone was discussing because they facing this double edge sort of trying to make sure that they can meet both of their aims. and that is dismantling how mouses military capabilities alongside trying to make sure that they can retrieve an extracts at school in 200 is writing prisoners. sorry, i'm captives that are inside concert at the moment. and inside gaza, it seems that internet and phone connections are now back up for many after is really strikes knocked out most communication late on friday. have you been able to get in touch with your sources to, to get an idea of what is going on there? this we have actually, i had a conversation earlier with

a colleague in government was a huge relief. we know that communications have been back up is still incredibly patchy and it is still hard to contact people. as of course, they're also dealing with the lack of electricity, so not being able to charge binds, not charge devices and the like having to find sources of electricity to be able to do that. but it's extensively the communications. the apache in areas has been reinstated. and people, uh, once again able to kind of get in touch with possible with their loved ones and find out the situation. and also he's problem with that communication. blackout of course was not being able to covey emergency services when things were happening when they were attacks and bombardments that needed to be tended to. so now at least that is a small sigh of relief, but still a terrifying experience for the civilians. so many civilians in guns and then we know that the people who are still in the north and we know that they're still off . many civilians still in the north is not being able to evacuate to the south.

nice being once again told by b as riley is to make their way south. and we are fully expecting the, the 2nd phase to develop. and for the northern part of gauze, us certainly to be the sight of heavy bombardment and continuing ground falls presence in the days to come. rebecca, thank you for that update. that is the day before responded rebecca rivers in sterling in southern israel. a prime minister benjamin netanyahu is facing growing pressure at home to safely bring back more than 200 hostages, as well as from us as holding many fear is really air strikes, are also endangering both health captive and gaza. on saturday night now who met with family members of some of the hostages, some of whom publicly support swapping their loved ones for palestinian prisoners in his room. the candles form the number 1400, a grand tally. it's the number of victims killed in this month. how much terror attack on southern israel,

how much also sees more than $220.00 hostages. according to israel, their families are demanding answers. holding pictures of victims and hostages, protesters took to the streets, chanting slogans against prime minister benjamin netanyahu. how long will we continue with the splotch at until when? what else tomorrow your children, their grandchildren. f was nothing yahoo met relatives to reassure them that the thing is ready forces would do everything they could to bring the hostages home to visit. the operation is ongoing, the key is pressure made to a minimum of the greater the pressure is the greater of the chances control over to visible israel and least a massive bombing campaign. after how much gunmen stormed across the guys at border, the heavy shelving has relatives worried that their loved ones are also being

bombed, or the how must will carry out reprisals that we have to monitor. that's no action be taken, that endangers the or, you know, for a family member and any step consider to take into account the safety of all loved ones. how much controlled health ministry and gaza said is really strikes of killed over 7700 people. mainly civilians with more than 3500 of them children. my says it will release the hostages that abducted of israel freeze all the palestinian prisoners that it's holding. rather since field the government has failed to consult them and give regular updates. this massage, it's been 3 weeks and we don't know what's happening to our loved ones. we don't know. they're afraid to my point. we're afraid mr. we are worried. she, we're all way. what's happening to them? someone taking care of them before you tell me your mission was approved by m as

israel steps up, it's grand to solve inside palestinian territory. nothing. yahoo is under growing pressure to deliver the hostages back safely. or to leave her run this situation for the family's there. i'd like to bring in scott walker, a former hostage negotiator with scotland yard, and also the author of the book order out of chaos. a welcome to dw netanyahu has said he is determined to bring back all of the hostages been taken by him. us drawing on your experience, negotiating kidnappings and private hostage, take things. what would you advise him? well, i think he's in the court. a difficult position isn't a, you know, you mention in your report that the items a potentially conflicting. they need to continue putting the pressure on a mass to degrade them politically and militarily. and at the same time, maximize the chances of recovering the host is safely in a timely manner. but i think it's still fair to say that the channels that

communication needs to be kept open, in this case through the use of the media to the tall and the have mass leadership so that the dialogue can remain open. and then he goes, stations continue. and we are looking at a lot of people here. do you think they will be trying to get a deal done up to free everybody all at the same time? or will they be looking at it, piece meal and how do you prioritize who to get out 1st? i think it some likely that o $200.00 plus hostages will be released in won't go is more likely to be the children, the women and the elderly, and sick. a likes to come out 1st, probably in smaller groups. so impasse as we've seen so far. and then the miller tree hostages are probably in reality, you're going to have to wait a bit longer. and for the more vulnerable the elderly and the children who are being held hostage. what would your concerns be for those groups as time goes on?

what are these kind of scenarios i think it's uh, we'll just have some hope that the adults that they kept with will be focusing their efforts and attention on looking after the babies and the children and the frail and the elderly was to being held captive. i'm not, can i actually help with getting through this mentally and emotionally as well? if you could look at the other hostages was given, kept captive. now, this is, of course, also an incredibly high profile situation that we're looking at in hostage cases. does media attention help or, or hurts in a situation like this? ordinarily the media involvement can hinder because it can raise their profile and therefore the proceed value of the hostages. and can you put them a greater risk? but in this case, this is really a unique set of circumstances and the roles of media already watching,

everybody knows the situation, what has happened. so in this case, i can fully understand why the families want to keep the photos, the names of the loved ones that are being taken firmly in the media spotlight. and if a deal is reached, how would you go about organizing for the release of captives? is a big difference between agreeing to do and actually getting a release and the recovery and the physical, the logistical arrangement. so getting the hostages from the place they are being held captive to a place of safety is full with danger. the best of times, let alone what it's in the middle of an active was own with the vision last strikes going on as well. so it's pretty t gets tricky situation logistically to get them from captivity to safety. but thank you so much for sharing your insights. with us, that is scott walker. we really appreciate your time. so now we
