arab emirates, egypt saudi arabia and also the palestinian representatives. would they are in amman, but there is no way of a profit cease 5 being on the table when it comes to the west indies. very well. oh, we do know that it's not just the air of stays calling for a cease fire. israel's most important ally, the u. s. has also been pressing israel for at the very least a temporary what it costs as human a tarion sees fire. are there any signs of that pressure from america having an impact on these really government as well on the one side every time. and so they blinking has been hit us export free of stacy has repeated israel has a right to defend itself. at the same time he's calls for i see monetary pulls into hostilities have been growing. we're talking about more than 9000 pillows, palestinians who died, both of flight has and civilians,

according to the health ministry, which is under how much control in the gaza strip. and israel justifies these by saying it's knocked out key commanders, thousands of combatants in the tunnels, hiding under this infrastructure, disability and infrastructure like hospitals. schools we heard last night, also ambulance con, boys and hospitals. this is going to cause international indignation. i mean, hearing the staggering numbers and the amount of a civilian infrastructure that's being hit and that's where will the pressure is going to come from, not just from the us. the problem is when that pressure comes from a broad hum us inside is able use that to force the seats for that was the w correspondence. beneficial and reporting for us from jerusalem. then many thanks and these well the un secretary general

antonia good tetter says he is horrified by and is really strike on an ambulance convoy outside god as big as hospital. he also said that the conflict must of stop . israel has confirmed that it targeted the ambulance saying it was being used by her mazda of transport, fighters and weapons. mosse around the house and 40 says dozens were killed or wounded cancer and despair, which people rushed to help those wounded in his tri canal ship a hospital in gauze. a city mos ron health minister said that an ambulance convoy was hit as it was leaving the hospital, caring critically one to patients to the roof of border crossing into egypt, israel into and says that the ambulance of targeted was being used by homeless militants. the

the, the striking l ship a hospitals, the biggest hospital in the gaza strip. as to the numerous challenges its medical personnel has been facing in recent weeks with doctors desperately trying to treat patients in a facility that's on the brink of collapse with frequent power outages that having to use mobile phone lights to treat the wounded voided. if it was, they fit your resources in the hospital decreases by the minute and no one else is here to help. and then we hold the united nations and the whole world responsible for doing nothing towards those patients. and the palestinians come out and pull us the new a new model. we have children here, children suffering here, floods and there's no one to help that i was that the un has once again

called for humanitarian pulls us and fighting these vigorous races must continue. but they are not enough. we must have those pauses. we must have those pauses. if we do not have pauses, we will not keep up with the needs of the observed garza. the israelis also caught up in those areas of conflict. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his country would press on, but it's offensive from gaza. we're continuing with all those trend. and israel is refusing a temporary cruise that does not include the release of our hostages. is that even not enabled entry of fuel into gaza and oppose this strong spring money to this trip to hospitals like i'll shape a will have to rely on the little they have in order to help the rapidly growing

number of one that mike martin is a worst that a senior fellow at king's college london and earlier he told us under what circumstances an ambulance con boy could become a legitimate military target. it's so ordinarily under the laws of war, things like hospitals, ambulances, you know, other medical facilities, protected. and so then not to come under attack, of course, if those a medical facilities are used for military purposes, they lose that protection. so what you see in this argument between how often is about to head over exactly what happens. both of them law states in that case, as low as well as we've seen already in this conflict is very, very difficult to determine exactly what has happened and it will probably take a few days of forensic analysis of footage and the like to determine if it's all

possible, what exactly is happening to and now we're also hearing that gaza city is besieged and israel says it's entered the 3rd phase of the war. what do we know about the urban warfare that's under way there now? so over the last week or so, israel has the coming on the 3 axis and positions its troops around the oven area does not very good reason for the military point of view. it means that they control access in and out of the city. and this allows them going forward to be more deliberate about going into the city enables and so for example, right, if they want, if they wants to take out that particular how much lead to it allows them to go in and take a tunnel system. and then retreat back to the area that they control. so i think what we see now is the stage is set for the next, you know,

weeks or months of is radio, oppressions. and then trying to achieve that goal is of destroying him. us and getting back the hostages to well hundreds more, a foreign passport holders and injured thousands have less of a siege stripped through the rough crossing with egypt. more than 1100 people have managed to exit since the crossing reopened on wednesday, desperately needed a trunks have also been heading in the opposite direction. the objection government has so far resisted calls to open the crossing to all palestinians saying that would amount to enabling their force displacement for more, we can now speak to journalists korean uncle warry, who joins us from cairo. now, according to media reports, a top us officials said that efforts to get for nationals that have gone that had been held up by an attempt by him us to get his own wounded fighters included among

those to be escorted into egypt through the roof. a gate, what do you make of this? so what does this says? a reply that we have. this is a claim of the said bite and no official. and we don't know we cannot confirm or we can see if it's true or not true. in fact is, of course, that there's a certain c, a, a on the is really side, but also the egyptian side, that the how most people might cross over to the egyptian side. but let's really say it was the big picture. i mean, right now we have it, for example, 20000 injured people trapped in cause i have the questions. what to do is the situation is difficult. i, i, personally for except to know are you is just a who works with the u. n. who lost his army and one of the compartments and is deteriorating and that is maybe about to die and needs to be desperately trust for

that. and he can not be transported right now to alpha. and of course we have the reports about the convoys, the sample menses, be a tech is rick stating that there i must buy this thing there and result providing any evidence. but you can imagine what kind of peer this creates was in gaza. was the cause of the interest, like something's going to what's the gaza strip today? what about from the perspective of egypt? how much longer is the exemption government prepared to receive these wounded people from gaza? and we have to assume that the number of severely injured people is going to rise as the work goes on. it's yeah, i think good there is there all preparing for that. the youth hospital setting up at the hospice in egypt are getting ready for that also when it comes to the for next year. let's say in addition, for funded for administer officials said that ship is prepared to for about 7000

people whose phone costs what's coming from the gaza strip from 60 different countries. the big problem really is not the for the, for the problem is how to reach this for the involved, especially for accepting for if people who live still in the north. and i talked yesterday or talked a few days ago with somebody who just came out from the gaza strip. and also he said that there is many people in the north of casa in the north. the problem is it goes us just, we just don't go to the saw us because there's no place to go to. there's no place in the school and there's no place in the husbands. they have nobody, no eh, family members of the stalls where they go. so they decide to go to, to stay in the north for them. it's extremely difficult now to move to what's their off my board, especially because parts of the northern cause of service and southern colors to be cut off to the by the israeli army. that wasn't journalist kareem aguilar, a speaking to us from cairo. many things indeed. all

right, let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news around the world. at least 120 people are dead to after a strong earthquake hit western nepal. officials fear that the death toll could rise further as rescue efforts continue in the remote region. tremors are common in the mountainous nation with an earthquake in 2015, killing 9000 people. the european commission president, or as well funded line has arrived in t is on a surprise visit ukraine's president. for them, there's a landscape greeted her at the train station. the pair are expected to discuss ukraine's bit to join the european union as well as the blocks financial and military support for kids. at least 5 people have been killed in the central italian region of tuscany after torrential rains from storms here on floods. flooding swept through parts of the area. italy government has declared a state of emergency and is pledging 5000000 zeros to help the worst hit areas.
