of the world in progress. the w talk costs the this is dw, use life from bit live i've been preserved and thanks for joining us. as being heavy shelling in the south of guys are on hon us ground forces. they're engaged in monkeys by the military goals. some of the most intense come back yet. the constant struggle to survive. the funding continues to hold back 8 distributions palestinian civilians being told by israel to fleet to safe zones for the south. but the un says no way in gaza at this site. and russian president vladimir putin visits the

middle east. first stop the united arab emirates to grant trip abroad faces and international arrest warrants and has cancelled previous trips. as it concerns, we could beat the tank the i've been visible and welcome israel says it's troops have ended, southern guns as largest city military says it's forces have reached the center of hon. eunice, with other soldiers surrounding it, is by the command of say, the troops are engaged in some of the most intense spiking so far. israel says its aim is to eliminate, tell us hundreds of thousands of people that being told to evacuate to humanitarians. owens, but the un says no wearing casa is sex. the survivors to sift through the rubble of a destroyed home, struck by his riley marseilles,

in the early hours of the morning. the commander with her 2 people inside the house . 20 of them were children. that's true, we don't know what happened to us at the fire. here's a man and all of it collapsed on top of us. none of us made it completely. okay. everyone is hard to the item. you look for united nations and says almost 1900000, thousands have slid the homes since the war began. many wound up here in hon. eunice now goes to the 2nd largest city is the battle ground. israel says it is operating against homeless strongholds in the south, and both sides report that the slicing is fis leaving civilians with no with to go. all my senior colleagues have been very clear, including the secretary general saying there is no, there is no, there are no safe places in casa. the main hospital in han, eunice is overwhelmed. the un says delivering vice will ada supplies is impossible,

amid the fighting and still the injured keep coming as through the bodies. the devastation in hon. unice has left many palestinians with a sense that the world has abandoned some have and we need someone to stand by all side. we need someone to find a solution. we are devastated. but despite a brief ceasefire between israel and from us, the renewed fighting is as intense as ever lead hastings is the united nation. so humanitarian coordinator for the palestinian territories. with israel pushing its offensive further south. and so many civilians that they expect to move again. i asked if that is reasonable, you know, and i think we've been very, very clear on that there is really no safe place to go in gaza currently be offensive in some units is pushing people further to the so east into a very, very,

very small portion of garza, and of course this presenting real problems for us in terms of just logistically moving around with such a pact population in such a small area, humanitarian groups of time and again criticized the so called site science is not being sufficient. is there some way that you, when it could or should assist in setting up the site science? again, we've been very clear on to the extent, but all of the executive directors of humanitarian agencies have indicated that we will not participate in the stablish me to say so unless very, very specific conditions are met. the 1st of those, of course, is there actually has to be an agreement between warring parties you and unfortunately has experience in what are called save songs. and of course, our determination has been that they are in fact not state sounds. in addition to

their meetings in the agreement, people need to be able to move in and out freely in addition to united nations and it's mandatory and partners must be able to deliver to people who are not in the state. so we need to be able to deliver to the communities that are hosting is some families are hosting, maybe 60 people in their home phones, that's not necessarily in the safe zone. so again, we will not participate in the establishment of saves on some less specific conditions are met. so the zones obviously needs to be safe, not just for the civilians, but your people. to do tell us about the conditions right now in 100 units, which is coming under heavy bombardment in fine. yes. so it's exactly as you say, you have you from apartment. we have reports from some of our own staff or in these so called d conflicted boxes. the government of israel issued a map over the past couple of days indicating which areas might be attend,

which not. but even those people who are living, trying to live in the as those that have been indicated to be safe, are also coming under fire. and that's why everybody's moving into the ever smaller parts of gaza. and of course i'm sure your listeners and i can understand that the more people that are pushed into small. busy small spaces for the proper hygiene, sanitation, access to water, access to food. it's really just a public health crisis unfolding. what sort of possibility is there at the moment of getting more food and medicine in to help those people? yep. so there's been a lot of activity, obviously on social media lately, and there is one hash tag that the government of israel has put out, which is basically saying, hash tag of united nations. but i just want to make it very clear to everybody that the united nations continues to define israel as the occupying power. they have

control over the speak, land, and air spends this makes from the occupying power. this actually means that they are responsible to ensure that we can deliver and in fact, they are responsible for providing assistance to people who are in me. so i wanted to make that very clear um, as we have to the government of israel and in addition to that, that we need commercial trucks and openings to start again. right now, we are being asked to deliver to a manager and assistance, bringing in very, very large trucks with all of our commodities through what is the dest stream crossing. we need the commercial crossings to be reopened. nowhere in the world united nations for an entire population, we always work with partners that includes public sector and commercial sectors.

one of those uh, commercial crossings you're talking about is in the south controlled by israel in this case, unlike the run fi crossing. but there also is why the soldiers stationed there. so i mean it sounds like an impossibility in fact today the government visit. busy informed us that we would be able to use that crossing for verification or rather i should say they would be able to use that for verification because currently the israelis are verifying what's inside of trucks and inspecting basically what size, what's inside of trucks and make sure that they, they commodities can go in safely in line with the government of israel, or these railings the security needs. so now that's going to be moved up from about an hour and a half. so of guys, and we will be able to start using that crossing. as i say,

the use riley's will be doing the verification process is there. and then we will be moving the trucks around the corner, so to speak, into a rough, shady story. it's in egypt to show any more breakthroughs when it comes to or any progress at all when it comes to delivering bye. see, i know, cypress had been in talks and had been pushing for a card or a humanitarian card or via to see that. so those talks are ongoing, we haven't seen anything solidified yet. from the united nations perspective, we will continue to pursue the reopening of commercial crossings and processing so that we are able to bring the trucks in on a very, very regular basis. but i do also again, just want to emphasize it's not just about getting things into guys, it's about what's happening inside of gases that makes it absolutely impossible for us to properly deliver. there are not the conditions right now for the united nations and its partners,

and so they've got to be delivering to mandatory insistence at the scale that is needed. atlanta is that the main or only reason why these talks are going on and on and on. i mean, but we're talking about more than 60 days of war now to yeah. and so that's obviously another thing to manager and assistance of the band that again, we're not supposed to support the entire population. what we need is a see fire, a release of all the hostages, and then ultimately a political solution. that seems very, very far away right now. but it is up to the parties to be able to find a political solution. so we can put an end to this. is there any mold that the international community can do to age civilians to bring about some sort of restraint when it comes to not only uh, what's going on there and gaza and what, how much is doing, but also what is well as doing yeah. so i have highlighted, of course,

what some of our obligations are, including israel, but all member states do have an obligation. they need to be able to be speaking to the warring parties, to try and come to some sort of solution. i'm so each of us have an obligation and right now, not many of those obligations are being failed right now. it's a bit too early, i guess, to be talking about this, but it's on the stage we will have to when funding comes to an end, what sort of role do you see for the united nations? impossible. god yeah, there's so many opinions right now. and we see various officials from the government of israel. busy some from the palestinian authority, some from various member states, etc. so i'm not going to be able to pronounce on that one right now. we'll have to see how that works. then hastings the you, when's humanitarian coordinator for the palestinian tower trade? say look now at some of the other story it's making use from around the world for british prime. it is the bar, as johnson has told,

a public inquiry into his government's handling of the code 19 pandemic that he's sorry for the loss of life. he also apologized for mistakes. he made johnson his by severe criticism for how he handled the crisis. i'm sure there were plenty of all. at least 17 people have been killed in a bus accident and the central philippines, the vehicle plunged into a ravine after the brakes failed. initial reports suggested many more had died, but the death toll since being revised downwards proves ex president and batch of what you maury is due to the prison on wednesday, i saw the country's constitutional court ordered his release from a 25 year sentence. thank you. the bronx violations support is celebrated the head of the release left. the ruling has caused dismay and on victims of abuses committed during his time of office in the 19 ninety's or they would act as have voted to back and you deal with film and t. v. studios they put into long running and costly dispute act,

as have been on the strength of months of disagreements about compensation levels and the use of artificial intelligence. russian president vladimir putin has arrived in the united arab emirates. it's his 1st time visiting the middle east since russia launched its full scale invasion of you find. the way these 5 minutes stipulated the russian president on his arrival, then travel don't the adults with president shake mohammed bins? i it. he hailed the 2 countries coming relations saying they were at an unprecedented high put and will also visit saudi arabia during the trip, where he'll help pulse with the countries to factor bullet. but haven't been some useful nolasco bureau chief, you reschedule, joined us for brita. this d, w was banned from reporting in russia. he told me more about the focus of the brand visit about as well is it also maintains close relations with both countries and united to are of interest. and saudi arabia, according to the kremlin, is how the rabbits booting is going to talk with the crown prince mohammed be now

solomon on trade international politics and humanitarian aid. the issue of oil trading is very important to us, as we know, 8 old oil producing countries have reduced their oil production from may in order to maintain production and the low level until the end of the year, the civilized at the market. uh, so this is one of the topics uh today. also the conflict between israel and thomas is on the agenda for both meetings to and the same type of the same time as this visit should be seen in the context of the russian internal politics of the upcoming presidential elections in russia next year in march. next year at put and hasn't yet announced his candidacy. she may do so next week during his annual press conference. and of course of this visit the road would help him improve his image in russia regardless, regardless of the results your refrigerator that i've been present. and thanks for
