i asked, i see all the spokes person, sarah davies is in jerusalem. how organization enables these exchanges? i think this is a really important point to clarify how off of the international treaty of the red cross. our role is the neutral facilitator or any agreement that is decided upon by todd you to the conflict. we don't have a role human in body, she ation cells. uh that is absolutely called level that must have been absolutely below the top east of the conflict and a medium boxes that are nice conversation. we step in when things are agreed upon when we have um, uh, the serious brands when we know the process and last time, oh, receiving under occasion, taking uh how to reach the location, but i need hostages to be released their priority. yeah, that's fine. just to really reinstall it to let them know when right across the way

you take you out of doors off to hands you back to the all parties to end table with today's environmental assessment, psychological assessment, and a cool at the end be re united with their loved ones, we then transport them uh on a freight i read all tossed right out the alpha davina and then they go on to the next step. um, well this is very complex process. absolutely. i mean it must be an extremely complicated operation. what's been the most difficult possible of this for you if your organization i think obviously is a very emotionally well well, me situation um our team of very much re we stand ready always um and when there are things like delays or anything like that we, we way, all those numbers you agents through jane to be clarified for us to get the agreement. we are really relieved that we are able to facilitate this in our role as a mutual organization. how have all their challenges on things like logistics,

even though obviously and all that has been a lot of destruction and what role is a free and close these very last minute challenges when things have to be changed out? i do believe that much. i really am version that teams have a feeling use is really the stooges. we were, you know, as it did in families and all, sorry, a little bit all of this week immersion because we know that there are 2 hostages that have not been released as of yet. can i ask you what your colleagues do when they meet the hostages? so the for the 1st time, can you tell us a little bit about sort of the hostages reactions and about the support that you provide at that moment? of course, so really our priority is the, the human touch, the reassurance and the m b. because we do not know how to make these hostages. what, what the situation has been like, oh, what we do now are you that day?

well, as families haven't been able to contact them, the same is true, but the hostages, they have had no contact with their family with their loved ones. they don't know anything potentially that has happened since the table. they may not have been full surprised to be released about what was happening. so we have very little bad married course just by the 1st thing we need to do is reinstall the hostages out out here. and we were just friends watching those back eventually. oh, well, we have the right of course, and then a lot of them and looking ahead to the coming hours days, how likely do you think it is but the truth will be extended? the more hostages might be brought back to israel and will palestinian prisoners released we are close, very hurtful, but again we, we try to take place as a part of these negotiations. we absolutely welcome as in rate or a 5 the agreements that are also in place,

the entry of agency as well as the release of hostages and the release of the palestinian and paintings. however we, we need that from agreement on the web app or not. but we do remain hurtful. i need to very much welcome that agreement. so i wanted to ask you about the, the aid and i wanted to ask, what impact the aids is having. but organizations like yours have delivered to gaza in this 4 day window. can you give us a sense of how important this is being, as the teams have been regularly distributing supplies since the beginning of these conflicts, along with many of organizations, including the telephone references by medical teams of what tirelessly during these conflicts. oh, we know that i have come in, but we also ignoring the ne i excitedly a many people was how the devastation outside people team to operating in the

southern dogs. off for pulled up, have been an influx of patients over the last few days. i just thought it would be fine and people feel more comfortable and safe, but moving south. so people, i, fortunately have worries, i have not be treated for days and the level of destruction. ringback oh, bad boy is that there is nothing that can be regions dropped it, and there are things like amputation regularly having to take place if you will do the 10th your game very cold here at night. they don't have blankets, but you're in how people are. we know that street in warsaw you is very visual, very limited in what people can access. of course, we understand radio continues to provide t julie made which is sorry, sar needed. oh, you know, when did that? we're seeing a lot of things why i'm still have solar panels to support powell at the top and

you spell a nation post can work. sarah davis from the international committee of the red cross. thank you so much for your time and for speaking to us here in dw, a gemini as president hung by the stein my is in jerusalem initiative. solidarity with is ro is expected to meet with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. later on sunday, just on my i met families of hostages taken by from us in the october 7th terrorist attacks. and they also help folks with the is ready, president isaac hudson, one minus 2 day trip to israel will be followed by visits to both oman cutoffs. here's what he had to say about the situation and goals. and the i most i think is i'm the big you, how much has force to will a part of the entire middle east region. nobody can deny israel the right to decisively combat the tara and to defend itself against the brutal attacks. so you have the them and yeah,

come this fight also affects the civilians in the gospel straighten and god, the mission is to protect civilian. shouldn't cause a continued to be necessary as soon as the provision of essentially made inside the north. in addition to company says on, that's what international humanitarian law demands. and that's why it's good that the greed pauses in the fighting a b i used to provide specifically in population, in regards to a strip of way of humanitarian aid, as tyson mutual menu, to them who have screwed them. so 1st of all, a legal aspect to dw as chief political edited mikaela coast. now about what an important visit this is for the driven head of state. absolutely. um the german foreign minister was already there several times at the top. so it would have thoughts was that and now germany's president spoke to his is ready counterpart, the as a counsel conveying the message once again that germany stands by what is

a fundamental principle of german policy stock. because all it's cold here in german, which is to stand in for the security of israel and of jewish life in germany and elsewhere. at the same time, we also heard from quite a stine may of that so empathy towards the suffering of palestinian civilians. he's also due to visit a hospital in east jerusalem today. he also visited a key books and has pledged 7000000 years. uh, that's just come through to help reconstruct back. he puts, which was the tact by mouth. so he's trying to really convey the message that yes, germany will stand by israel and at the same time, so the world and try to make the case that germany is not biased against the suffering of civilians on the palestinian side. beyond showing the

solidarity though, what role does durham the actually play in this conflict? does it have any actual clout to some degree? the real cloud, as we've all seen, also in recent weeks, is really with the united states and with the countries in the region got top of course being a key country that which help negotiate this exchange between israel and how mosse, of course, with those people held hostage being sent back, hopefully, also today and an exchange israel handing over detainees and prisoners . and at the same time, germany enjoys trust by israel that really came through here so it will always act in israel's best interest. that's what's durham these pledge. once again,

at the same time, it is a major donor towards palestinian civilians. so it's trying to act in israel's best interest. also talking with partners in the region based on what is going to be staying in the region until wednesday, isn't he? can you tell us a bit more about his office stops? yes, he will travel on to oman and then to cut tom. both countries have close ties with palestinians cut tall, of course, with some how my leaders actually residing at having the closest and most some direct contacts with hamas leaders. so that's what the gentleman president fund side has signed my who also is a former foreign minister, which is becoming very tangible here. and we'll try and do germany's bits to try and stabilize the situation and hopefully get more of those hostages released. thanks a lot. thanks so much for that. let's the w as chief.
