jerusalem for more now tanya, medical staffing goal is as hospitalized are describing. i'll see the hospital as under the bard minutes. can you tell us more about what is happening there? well, i mean this is where we're getting from, we pulled some goals. obviously the residents still in the area and from the medical stuff, no was through. so phone calls telling what is going on right now. they're at to see for a hospital this thing that has been heavy bombardment is strikes in the area in the vicinity of the hospital as to for the largest hospital in goza, where you said, you know, many a residents have caused that also. so they will be safe in the compound of this hospital, but now, you know, medical stuff and the, the direct as the of the house officials saying that's basically a shift, a hospital is shutting down. they're starting to lose patients. they can not provide the services anymore. we also hear that some other hospitals in the noise

and the w h o set the very voyage about the situation at grace concerns about what is going on. that they had lost contact to the full points at she felt hospitalized . also be hearing this from the doctors without borders and ms. f. they also have stuff in the hospital, you know, calling for the protections of those hospitals. now the is really, i mean, i said the confirming those fights and going on in the vicinity of the hospital that they're not targeting the hospital itself. although the army has always said that they are allegedly uh, you know, come on centers of the groups underneath the hospital. that's why this hospital is such a focus for the military. but of course, this situation also means of for patients or for people in the north of cause that is all these hospitals being, you know, where there's a lot of fighting going on that they have no place to go through in need. if they need of health, they're describing a dire situation. indeed,

an attack when asked about some news coming out of israel, a is really media reporting progress. and the deal to free is on $240.00 hostages. believe to be held in gaza. it's been about 5 weeks since they're abduction and little is known about their fates. we're going to come back to tanya and just a moment, but 1st this report the want action across it's right poses that put this to put the street some talk to the warranty government to secure the quick feelings of hostages, abducted by some logs on october 7th, i don't think any other country in the world would have got women and children, babies, civilians, innocence, who are being kept as hostages in gaza right now. and for $35.00 days. not one person from the red cross has been allowed to visit with them. and let us know that they are okay and give us the sign of life from any of them. i cannot do much smaller demonstration. a group of is trying to activists. boy put an end to the one

in gaza for see, sorry or i mean be do right now be on me then will say, so for me, are they go for guys? installed the facts for the government, picking power indiscriminate killing of civilians and against the war and working force. again, that's the month for the si. fi has been going from citizens across the world. and also from boy lead to on friday, french president, a model on his background said there was no justification for the civilian casualties in casa and called on, is trying to stop it's bombing. and they off to day was we so is

a good time on bumping of civilian. some guys are gonna go down because the doors remarks have not gone down well, but this dryly prime minister, benjamin netanyahu like a barrier regarding the french president my crone. i think he did good thing was when he came here, he sent a floating hospital. so it's good. but if you're asking me about mcluhan's remarks, he made a severe mistake. it was a factual mistake shortly. by an immoral mistake with the the old cushion. it is a mass, not israel to the, to preventing the civilians evacuation myisha more. now israel is telling them to leave him 0 effort to come us. if i am on the plan, that's it. why it strikes me to ship an item and that it's not changing it strategy . there are many voices at home who believe a c fighting gaza. me has bring back the hostages. so let's come back to tanya kramer and jerusalem. atanya, as we've heard,

is really media reporting. a dozens of hostages could soon be released under a possible deal. can you give us any further details there? but basically these are couldn't, these were reports and it's really media that came up uh on saturday nights. uh, they're talking about a possible deal that might be on the table, but nothing is confirmed here. so unsourced reports saying that if you could include up to 80 hostages among them women, elderly and the children that are being held in garza, they could be exchanged in return for women, public opinion, women, prisoners. so the husband is very prison as well as public opinion. mine is that it has and is really presence. but again, nothing has in confirmed of that sort. so far it's um, you know, hosted to negotiators are saying or sources close to them that they need to cease fire for that to move those hostages to get them out of calls or at least to show

it to him as these 5. but the also hearing again in a televised in a press conference by prime minister, been, you mean it's no, we said again that there would be no ceasefire unless all the hostages are basically released. so we have to wait and see what's going on there behind closed doors, whether there is a breakthrough. katia is, is working on that as one of the many ages egypt. so we have to wait and see if there's a breakthrough in the coming days. and this whole taking place as a on saturday, we saw protests across israel, calling for the hostages for lease. what are these demonstrators asking of the israeli government? well i think it's a very frustrating and very boring situation for many family families and the relatives of the hostages that are coming out in the past weeks. they came out in several locations across as well. not just reminding the government it's so important to keep this on the agenda. the government is saying in the army as well . it's one of the priorities,

obviously to bring the hostages back home. but families are worried about the fact that is was pushing ahead with the ground operation and goals, and that might hon. the hostages that are being held in garza and they're demanding more action, more information from the government to bring the hostages home. tonya, thank you very much for that in a state of use. tonya kramer reporting from jerusalem and germany will increase its humanitarian aid for the palestinian territories by a 38000000 euros foreign minister. and i'm in a bare balk me the announcement after talks in ramallah, she later met hers rarely calendar part intel a vive. and she told reporters why germany is calling for humanitarian pauses. instead of a cease fire. the impulse of wanting phenomena in general not cease fire is absolutely something i can understand, but move part of the truth is to look at how i've seen this 5. this kind of good happens out how much which attacked israel and the 7 does not. tobar will

how they will behave of a situation where the sky yesterday with reference to israel's or might try to defend it ourselves. the question arises, us and whether israel would be able to continue to protect itself against a psychologist, minute attacks because we recognize the issue has the right to defend itself. but at the same time, we want to ease the suffering and gaza. and this is why we are so vehemently calling for these humanitarian causes fighting which make it impossible to at least end even suffering for that time to. i'm drawings now by data of these political correspondent, thomas sparrow. for more at thomas, we just heard their german 4 minister and lena bear, bear back again, explaining why jeremy is calling for humanitarian pauses, but not a ceasefire. per se. why are we seeing her explain herself here? well, 1st it's important distress at gemini, is not the only country differentiating between

a ceasefire and humanitarian pause. indeed, that's it. germany has indeed been asking for humanitarian pauses and approval as a way in which you monetary an aid could into gaza. the idea why officials maybe are against a ceasefire right now, not necessarily in the future, but right now is because they believed that that could strengthen how much is position in the, in the war. so there's also this idea that it's urgent to get here. monetary and 8 into gaza on that a way in which that could happen rather quickly. and without the need for a formal agreement, the form will cease. fire is by implementing these kinds of humanitarian pauses. so that's why you're hearing german officials not only on a babel, but other partitions as well distinguish between a ceasefire, which is a formal agreement and a here monetary and pause, which would allow aids to enter gods. and can you give us a sense of how much political cloud germany actually has in the region and, and how much they could possibly affect what happens in this conflict on its own,

probably limited influence, but germany does not necessarily act alone. germany is unimportant member of the european union and as such it can have clout when it comes to to try and to find a solution to base. and that's also one of the reasons why i didn't know bab book has been traveling. not only to visit the palestinians, most of these writers like other areas, countries in the region as well. it's a side trip actually to the region seems that will be done for germany. it's important to also have the chance to explain its position because it's a position that so many here in germany may be clear and straightforward to germany's very clearly supporting israel. that has to do with germany's special relationship towards israel, japanese historical responsibility. the fact that germany believes that it's very important for germany to guarantee israel's security. that again may be very clear for people here in the country, but not necessarily for countries in the region are countries in particular. so for germany as well and now, but when she travels to these countries,

it's important to explain the japanese position unexplained that on the one hand, gemini is clearly supporting israel. on the other hand, it is also courting for israel to comply by the rules of law to guarantee that civilians under attacked to guarantee that aid can enter gaza and so on. so these are the 2 sides of germany's position if you will. now, and just briefly, before i let you go, thomas, i'm given that background of given germany special responsibility toward as well. how is this conflict of being discussed in here in german society? it's being discussed a lot, you see several that protest from both sides from different sides of the conflict. you see that it's also something that's being discussed widely in german society. you see that people are concerned about the conflict. that's something that several polls have revealed. you see that people are concerned about the impact that they may have might have here in the countries. well when it comes to increased numbers of, of anti semitic cases in the country. so there is such a late concern. april,

uh, looking at this conflict in detail, and it is something that people the looking at how it can possibly be results. so all this debate about your monetary impulses ceased biased and so on is also something that's being paid here in the country as well. thomas, thank you so much for that analysis that's. do you have these political correspondent thomas borrow? if you don't watching the doesn't your news live from berlin? a quick reminder of our top story before we go. thousands of people are trapped in gauze as hospitals as heavy fighting continues between israeli forces. and tomas doctors, a supplies have run out and aid workers are warning the patients and staff will die about a pos into fighting. and just a quick reminder also is that you can also get the domain names on the go. you just need to download our app from google play or from the app store, and that will give you access to all the latest news from around the world, including push notifications. whenever there's breaking news,
