rough in guise of southern parts. the area was supposed to be saved for people seeing the fighting in god's a c, t. but they say the reality destroyed their hopes, the equipment that they had, and every place they targeted everywhere, they've got a big target at night. children are all was scared and they wake up screaming because of the sound of the bombing when they're a big targets everywhere and rough. uh, but unfortunately, there is no safety. one such attack and rough uh killed a french 40 minutes to worker and 9 other civilians. speaking alone side here was really counterpart francis top. diplomats said paris expected answers from israel. country and colon code for realistic choose in gaza is i've also come here to reiterate the importance of a new humanitarian truce. and we need to return to

a general truce in a truce that will enable us to work towards a humanitarian sci fi. now he's real and say that a he sees 5 would be a gift for him us and says it will continue its military campaign. we will achieve all of our goals, eliminate him, us release the hostages and promise that god will not once again become a center of terror as these where the army continues to pound gaza. the humanitarian situation there is worsening by the day. i. the messages from israel suggest that the growing international pressure has been not enough to convince it to at least pause the fighting communications. blackouts continues and the gaza strip with more than 2000000 palestinians virtually cut off from the outside world. internet and telephone lines went downstairs then,

according to gaston authorities and communications companies, a group say the outages hampering the assets in the territory. the wells health organization has been able to visit gauze as badly damaged. i'll see for hospital on the south side, the hospital is over well with hundreds of injured patients as new cases arrive, every minutes. a psalm, k c. there is an emergency medical teams coordinator with the w h o n t just visited that hospital. he tells us more on what can be done fully injured patients . well, yesterday, to see about hospital for the 1st time in about 3 weeks since disease fire ended and we found a hospital that's completely overwhelmed. we saw patients coming in every 30 to 60 seconds on the cards on charlie's with sperry serious injuries. the hospital was previously the largest referral hospital in gaza, was 750 beds and a very busy emergency board at the moment the hospital leadership has indicated

that they have only 5 or 6 doctors, 5 or 6 nurses that about 70 volunteers. so what can be done for them at the moment? very little, but we hope to change that. so we delivered a critical emergency supplies from my kids yesterday. we'll be delivering fuel for the hospital to run its generator in the coming days. and we'll be going back again with additional supplies and hopefully some additional human resources to help care for these many, many nations that are overwhelming. the very little capacity that remains at steeple. now, can you give us an idea of how many of the ends at coming into all the sci fi, a mazda operatives, and how many civilians into distinguish between the it is impossible for us to say . i mean our, our concern is caring for people with injuries and all of us and what, what i saw yesterday and see if a was an emergency department that was so full of people injured and the hill that

there was hardly room to walk. so i saw the children, i saw women, i saw young and old men and women pregnant women. and i saw unfortunately, children receiving a sutures stitches without any anesthetic people welling out of the game. so it doesn't matter who these people are, they are injured. and as w h o r, and as i mentioned, our goal is to support the school to be able to care some people to provide a treatment for their injuries and realistic is their sufferings. and that's what needs that aims to do with the provision of supplies. and then what are we able to do in the future missions to 12 people in the coming days and weeks. and you mentioned that also thought the is the most important hospital in, in gaza. is there any other place that sick or injured civilians can go? so there are several hospitals that are functioning right now and goes up, but not very many and quite a few are operating in the very minimal capacity in the southern part of gaza. in

rough uh there are, there are several hospitals including field hospitals that have been set up for this emergency response in the middle area there. there is some hospital functionality and in the north i'll see for and sort of other hospitals operating very minimally. so i'll see if i previously had 20 operating theatres, none of them are currently working. they're running dialysis machines 24 hours a day on a backup generator, but they, they're not able to come close to meeting them out of that. but we're seeing in all of the hospitals in gaza is that there are $2300.00 even 400 percent of the normal capacities. and that they're running those numbers supporting that number of patients with 50 percent for 25 percent of their normal personnel. huge numbers of people here at the displaced there's a lot of supplies, destruction, and some help facilities. many of them are inaccessible due to fighting in the area . so it's extremely challenging from a health service delivery perspective. and the,

the optimal solution to this is piece is a ceasefire, so that people can move, they can access hospital safely. so that step health workers can get to hospitals to provide care um, but at the moment, services are available, but uh, extremely, extremely stretched, strong case of an emergency medical teams coordinator with the world health organization. thank you very much for your time. thank you. as both as costing the ballots for a new parliament in serbia where a pro western coalition is hoping to gain ground against the countries. russia, friends, a routing party, the vote fits the serbian progressive party of president of it, signed a voltage against a coalition form during anti government protests. demonstrate as blamed authorities for allowing a culture of violence in serbia of service. a combining has been held in an atmosphere of intimidation and media by us favoring the populace. government w journalist sunday are clear yet sean, does that sound

a phenomenon report from the capital above grade portraits of the russian president next to t shirts within that towards the symbol for rush us war on ukraine? only a few examples of how visible the kremlin and it's profound gun the are on the street, south belk rate. the russians are our brothers, no doubt about that. a full slacking dog, but all most, any good relationship with the foreign country is welcome. we don't have to love each other, but we can cooperate and respect each other. yeah. as an individual, i have a good opinion of russians. i love russian. i loved orthodoxies and i consider them of brotherly people. somebody's kathy. both slavic nations have a long tradition of close ties cultivated by serbian liter alex on double church. despite the countries of thoughts to join the e. u, which has refused to back the blog sanctions against most co,

even claiming the majority of serbians would always side with russia. the government has been pushing that's narrative on purpose. says on the list, the book looks on which the main, the disseminator of the pro, ration the contents in serbia, you are a media and tabloids under the control of the ruling coalition. and this was done, of course for 2 reasons. number one, because the ruling deletes believe that they can domestically profits for mattress popularity by promoting russia. and number 2, this was done to blackmailed the west and to frighten the westgate, the russian, a weed, the russian that alleged the prizes in the country are really in support of the governing, syrupy and progressive party, the party of alexander, of which, in the upcoming election stay look, set to remain in power despite moss protest and allegations that which it's regime is eroding democracy and the rule of law. the kremlin views, which as an ally, doing recent tensions with neighboring costs of all which serve ya does not

recognize as an independent state. russia with quick to support which warning the situation could spiral out of control. experts say the kremlin school is to keep serbia out of nato and the e. u. a maria of which, as a journalist, specializing in covering different information, anti western narrative, a wide spread in serbia. she says her team has also analyzed articles on the ward and ukraine. in 5 major newspapers, the results to boston, new for the last word will always be given by the russian military commanders or the russian president, or one of the russian officials from the headlines and from the entire text. you get the impression that russia is more powerful in this war, that ukraine is a puppet state of the west, but it has no chance to pro russian sentiments. remain strong concerning politics

and on the street. another winful of which and his party is bound to make sure it will stay that way. we're not joined by w brussels. we're achieve son of an anomaly. who is in the bed right for us at a sound a why is and how is which is managing to consolidate his file even though he is leading serbia further and further away from a possible use succession of the well, it's under which it tests manage to successfully impose and narrative that there is no alternative to him on the serbian political stage when it comes to the cannot make development of the country. in the last 10 years, his party had significant success building a modern infrastructure and attracting foreign investors and of which it's also built this image of himself as being the only one capable of maintaining this very

difficult to diplomatic balancing act between having a good relationship with russia, which is still popular again, sir. yep. and continue with this country's hospital. what's your opinion? he has not back to the you think since against russia and still he is the to go person for all the you leaders and representatives of the european union. and he's using goods for domestic goals, of course, and he is maintaining his grip on power also because he's naturalizing opposition figures and bringing the media under his influence and control. now, the opposition, as you said, she has the elections also might not be fair. what is your impression on the ground that a well independent election of service that we've been in contact with are very worried. they say that the election,

as you mentioned before, is taking place in an absolute, severe of intimidation and media bias, a president which and especially his party, they got 75 percent of the tv coverage had of the election for them, which it's used stage resources to convince people to vote for him, he promised one of payments from the state budgets to pensioner as to students, to people who are unemployed. and today we are becoming more and more reports about voters who god's cash flows showing that they've voted. so for the rolling party, for people who are threatened to use to lose their job, if they don't vote for their ruling party, we also saw some reports about election of service being attacked. so they are very worried about the atmosphere in which these parliamentary and local elections

are taking place on a phenomena that in the serbian capital bank. right, thank you very much and have somebody and that's it from me on the news team for now. we'll have an update for you at the top of the washing dw news from earlier in the prices got issues with a lot say what the

discovery change your mind.
