i'm quite richardson, welcome as fighting rages outside garza hospitals. us president joe biden has said gods as big as hospital must be protected. he called on as well to take quote, less intrusive action at all. shufa. israel has a legit time aust militants are using hospitals as command basis. and witnesses a is rarely tanks have surrounded the hospital where dr. say they've been without water or electricity for days film just a few days ago. this video, apparently, shots inside gauze is out of shape. a hospital gives a sense of just how many people have been crowded inside. the world health organization says this is no longer a functioning hospital. it says no more fuel for generators by live saving equipment is no longer working. and according to medical stuff at the facility,

dozens of new bones have not been removed from incubators and placed together on beds in the open. so they are in a very bad situation where you don't want to kill them unless someone that's of interest to us. all to improve the situation, but these are the kinds of cases where you have to be that sensitive. indeed with them you'd have to take care of each of them. again, that's a special great, concrete. they're all in open space with each other, with no intention to control images. as well as ground defensive has been moving ever closer to the gates of el cheapo hospital in recent days with the us president joining the growing international calls for restraint. well, you know. 2 not for me and locked in, especially my concern is going on. and my hope and expectation that there will be

a less intrusive action role to hosp. the hospital must be israel's military has accused time us if using hospitals, the high command incentives and weapons. and it's now released footage and what it says, the children's hospital in gaza, it's always lived down more than 20 meters down the road boats found a door and door that is going to prove it's a, it's explosive proof, alleging homicide held hostages. in rooms the need, the hospital, we're now in the area of the basement of the hospital, along with a cache of weapons and explosives, side of the hospital. i wanted to understand this kind of dear, isn't here for major flights. these are explosives, these are rest,

verify with explosives. yeah, it's a body best for terrorist to explode and forces along the hospital. among patients. hospitals are given special protection during times of pool. but israel okay, is that how much this use of medical facilities is cover? paper rights, any legal safeguards, as it's intensifies its ground defensive inside the gaza strip. let's speak to dr. bellman hari with the world health organization for more a welcome back to dw news, you and i have spoken about what's been happening in gauze as hospital several times over the last few days. can you tell us about what the situation is like today? the morning? clear, thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to again, you know, as you have mentioned in the board today, i just to get to know the situation. there is really very, but it is very wanting. it has gone beyond our imagination and i was hoping

that after 6 was because it was a know a moment, but after a moment you know each of us, but there is a closing giving way to services out of it at the 6 most because 21 the function because of the direct effects by there is that how you doing sort of these defends forces or the lack of fuel knuckle fluid. which mean depriving hundreds of thousands of people from basic essentials services. in addition to that, in fact we have, we are getting to the boss, no office bread, infectious diseases. i'm on the dose was washington exam. since that is the case people which is around $1.00 people dismiss, was out of the to bind one medium of these diseases. like in spite of any impressions what the, you know, we are witnessing good packed, you know, impressions, disease or emotional like chicken brooks. my can you know? somebody bought it i guess is amazing. a nice getting, you know, as caves and headlights, thousands of people. that's

a lot of warranties as it's not going to not sure if that sounds dire and it's not just a patients at risk either. is it yesterday your colleagues, you went headquarters, commemorated 101 you and staff who have been killed and gaza. can you continue to operate in gaza, or is it simply becoming too dangerous? it is very challenging and as we said, it is dangerous because in no place in the house i say no. and no one has saved. in fact, even one is attacked his cube. as you have mentioned, these attacks you, one is attacked, we have lost more than a 100, a few on weight, mainly on the desktop, which is really, you know, the 1st time to, to produce such a large number of fuel and stuff in a very short period of time compared to those who might have know slow. i don't know many tons of v as in the boss. no, we are getting, you know, communications, but i'm who knows, because it has the, the, the book, you know, if it has

a balance of able to viewing independence on what the medical supplies given hopes thinking attribution. so if you will, is the main main. keep the main factor for running and also dean plants for running water for running. but any of those issues house but then there are on 59 babies. and i need to wait till the last 7 of them yesterday or day before yesterday because of that completed and out all the patients are lost from the icy because of the lack of electricity. you know, i bet they will put it in the dock audition. so that the situation is very dire. now, israel has said that how mazda is using gaza hospitals to hide command centers, and this is why they are a target. and then last night we saw the israeli army release some folders, but it says helps to approve of this claim. what. what do you know about how mos using hospitals or un facilities for their purposes? i went ahead and re certified additions on endorsed by these that i a,

the non defense courses. but for to us, our game, you know, as you on, as the actual we stick to the corporate decision based on data emissions. want me to tell, you know, and scale is critical thinking about his having any indications they should really go to the us. but as he can with the costs and, and they are what is that you want to investigate, such as addition to that, there is no way of attaching gift care. i think your facility is based on these issues. it has to be investigated. as you said, it is quitting, protected by the mission. you're already getting a tiny breach of that, it should be read as well. thank you very much for speaking with us and i'm going to hurry. but the world health organization and i'd like to bring in dw is abraham, joining me now from jerusalem. a, a good morning i us present joe biden has urged israel to protect civilians at all . she for hospital hospital i is that likely to influence israel is military

operations and gaza slow hospitals have really become a sort of focal point or flash point in this particular phase of the war. clear and of the ground operations, specifically with israel, maintaining that how much has weapons militants and even a headquarters underneath the main complex of ocean from us on the other side, or rather the how much control guys, the health industry says that that is not true, but we've also heard doctors who work at these hospital say that that is not the case. and just as you're at the previous guest mentioned, you know, a health facilities do fall under special protection. there's been international outrage at what is going on around guys as hospital hospitals in the past couple of days. and that really puts the president's statements into context. us is one, if not

a israel's staunchest ally and so porter and the bite in administration has now said that they don't want to see firefights break in the breakout inside hospitals. and that is likely in response to the just overwhelming pressure coming from other countries. regional players certainly, but the international community at large to, to not want to see this already horrific situation for civilians. it get worse. but then again, these really is maintained that these are important that there are legitimate military targets underneath underneath this, these hospitals. so we're just gonna have to wait and see if that pressure actually yields any effect or any kind of a gap release if you will, for these hospitals in the coming days. now let's take a quick look at where things could you go from here. the armed wing of ha said yesterday that it is ready to release up to 70 hostages in return for

a 5 day cease fire. have we heard a response from israel to that proposal of the well, and we know that israel is engaged in negotiations to release hostages, not directly with from us, of course, but rather to accommodate the company mediation. because katasha does a house. some of the political offices of a, from us, and they, you know, they've, throughout this were acted as sort of go between, between western powers, a israel and a how much we've heard reports of deals like this over and over again. we understand that the communication between the parties is also very difficult. sometimes it takes days for pieces of information to reach a, a, to b. it would be coming to, you know, an exchange of a, a truce, which at least how much those would be used to facilitate the passage of

humanitarian aid. we have no idea of knowing if we can take them at their word for this. but at the same time releasing that many hostages would be a welcome step here and is really society, which is a, you know, at this point, completely traumatized by this experience. i mean, i've been speaking to hostage families, they haven't heard from their loved ones and you know, more than a months now, some of them have health issues, children, women, be elderly. but with these, you know, with my impression is that with these negotiations as hearing reports about them again and again, it's done when it's done, it's done when these people are released and we have them back home until then there's nothing to to really confirm. yeah, thank you very much for that. that's indeed of use abraham in jerusalem for us and the war between him off and israel has left thousands of ukrainians who sought refuge in the region of a terrible choice. either stay and faced the dangers or return home to war torn

ukraine. the. 7 sirens once again, so hard keeps guys familiar with zone for tatiana katrina and her daughter she just soon as you hear sirens, you went to the bottom shelter. it was terrifying, but it's not ukrainian sirens that terrified tatiana and her family. she still had refuge in israel after russia invaded ukraine. she was living in our school on wednesday, october 7th terror attacks occurred. their brutality forced her to flee from the 2nd war in his many years. but they up and i realized that i need, well i wanted to go home. i know maybe i shouldn't say this, but if i am killed then at least is on my native land. and not that you sent me, you know, of you the whole not to lose the media on your her story isn't unique, more than 30000 ukrainians,

found safety and is real and gone. so once the war and their homeland started and ukrainian president says, $4000.00 ukrainians have already left israel is government is working to arrange for safe passage for those left and gone. so adults in the mall, we continue the evacuation of ukrainian citizens from the gaza strip line on this work has been going on literally all day my the number of those same changes, almost every hour. we've already save $214.00 ukrainians. lots of little they and then the sco also chose to return to cuba after fighting broke out at the most of their lives. my daughter in the eyes and what i saw was fair and the sort of like we stayed that for a day. i was watching the atmosphere, i thought about what to do. and i understood that i couldn't stay defensive say as, as most of them younger, more so. so there's a better choice for many ukrainians. forced to flee from conflict of conflict into search of a safe haven. that scene is update at this our data. the

business is coming up next with my colleagues, steven variously, they're taking a look at china as a single day asking what that tells us about the chinese economy. stay tuned or you can find this online at w comp for social media where they're active eunice and claire richardson. it's many thanks for watching the sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for but we've got something for you. da, da.
