who are children seems like these are increasing pressure and it's trying to predict civilians a call of equity at the us defense secretary lloyd austin, texting pro, study and civilians and gaza is both a moral duty and a strategic imperative. so we will continue to stand up for israel's bedrock right to defend itself. and we will also continue to urge the protection of civilians during conflict and to increase the flow of humanitarian aid integration. is trying to see if it is targeting how most militants, but the fighting has led to one of the worst humanitarian crisis ever in gaza. food and clean water has become scarf for the strips over 2000000 people. and according to the un 90 percent of the population has been displaced. one

moment while i brought some more to for monday, but over the i brought the volta and we needed to. we don't have a single job hello to left. there was nothing a tool laser when i went to the head of the you went agency for palestinian refugees has worn the costs and school start dying of hunger disease and be immunity along with the eat and drink. got that with that for crossing drugs. have also started entering from is trying to be accurate them showed them that the you and see if the conditions of the found on suitable for delivering humanitarian supplies. many see a horse and fighting us the only solution and there to go. that's now being a good by many of his strange realize or with generally the same the sofa in jerusalem has more on us defense secretary austin statement. so the secretary

austin was talking not only about the humanitarian aid that has to go in to the gaza strip and not only about the palestinian lives, but it was also talking. it's specifically about the subject of strikes that isn't as to adopt the surgical strikes of them being close to the talks between the parties. and they went into details on how the next stages it should be. at the same time the austin was saying that the they didn't give is around any deadlines. and this was also reiterated by you all the government himself is that he was saying that there is no a ticking clock. and that the is radio preparation and will continue it, but they have agreed to a further have a closer coordination with the continuing of the campaign. and he said that america is giving advice to this early is and a go around to

a saying that they're listening to the advice that was generally semi circle. they're reporting from jerusalem. as israel continues, it's more against them all human rights watches accused israel of using starvation as a weapon in gaza, saying it's forces are deliberately blocking deliveries of water, food, and fuel bushera for leading from ox fam is in ramallah. i asked her earlier for her take, this is important to differentiate the monday, the human rights watch, an awesome hardware, humanitarian organization. we deliver aid. we work with an international humanitarian law framework. we don't make determinations of war crimes or investigate human rights violation. we monitor them, so the band form our policy position. but from what we know before october 7th, we know that israel was in great violation of his duties and responsibilities towards size. this population was the main as the occupier. um, it occupies the controls. guys,

i control on the board as well. it controls how much it goes in, in terms of the size of weather, that's people's goods. and as before, the tons of toner vaccines was high. and on the 9th of october, in response to the atrocities of the 7th of october. because of the type of switching off electricity water, restricting 8. and preventing fuels from entering guys is collecting punishment. and that does the amount of work time and using starvation. we also, you know, have evidence from crops team completely destroyed the wheat mail not able to only the mountain bars are not able to operate. and currently we only have 5 to 10 percent of needs being met with the delivery of a decided size of all of this points to great violations, violations of international law where we have people literally almost starting to that and guys are right now let me ask you to israel says that it is doing

everything in its power to protect civilians in gaza. is that the impression that you and your team on the ground are getting? so that was another point i wanted to answer on my end. the previous question is another thing that points to what times are and the indiscriminate nature of the of tasks we have seen them entire health care system collapse. we're talking about as a city of 2200000 people. this is a large city is a very densely populated, there's over 30 hospitals. most of them are, are barely running. it's running it all in the north. it's the situation is even more frightening. we have the situation or come i want a hospital where it's been deceased and we have people inside track. we've heard her basic reports on what's happening in the north. oh, we know that women are, you know, i mean we have a complete health care collapse. there's no, there's been tried targeted attacks on you and shelters on bakeries, on solar panels. so all of this points to the indiscriminate nature of

the attacks the course of the past 2 and a half months in gaza initially. let me ask you too about um, some of the videos that service on sunday showing palestinians chasing after climbing onto moving a trucks at the rasa border crossing b. this looks like the picture of desperation. how would you describe the career situation on the ground in gods? and i'd like to if you permit me, read a quote from my brother in law who i spoke to yesterday and i transcribes a conversation with him. if i may. ok, as we see a point of complete exhaustion, there's simply nothing to eat, even if the war were to stop right now. it almost feels meaningless. life itself seems meaningless. where, like the walking dead is devoid of life ada scores, where i'm staying now. we have nothing, no food, no electricity, no water. the effort to find and break. what for fire, just to eat, something is back breaking even basic needs like using the bathroom, the becomes

a challenge without water. the relentless task of maintaining a fire is the most draining thing. i've been using garlic clothes to treat my fever and smoke because medicine is nowhere to be found. the constant buzz of the drones is unbearable. you don't understand it. each of my bones, it's so loud constance, we interrupting sleep and conversation. yes, we find ways to cope. we, we joke and we saying, we still have hope, but we need to conserve energy of what comes next. you know what they say the after party push finality from like sam, we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and to share the thoughts as well as others about the situation on the ground there in gaza. thank you. so here's the look now some of the other headlines this our around the world of egypt and president of the frontier of cc helps thanks, voters after securing the 3rd term in office. he received almost 90 percent of the vote in last week's election, which was overshadowed by the board in gaza and the severe economic crisis. critics

say a 10 year long crack down on descent has eliminated any serious opposition. but francis has given formal approval to pres to les same sex couples in the document released by the vatican. francis suggested such blessings could be offered as long as they did not confuse the ritual with the sacrament of heterosexual marriage. it said priest should decide on a case by case basis. it is a blistering environment, a team of international observers. it says serbia snap elections were not fair and that they were marred by irregularity. the organization for security and cooperation in europe as alleged media bias, vote buying and ballot. box stuffing, preliminary results show the populace. serbian progressive party, led by president alexander boot judge winning 46.7 percent of the votes, almost twice as much as the 2nd placed opposition alliance,

serbia against violence, opposition supporters and gathered in bel grade to protest the election results. here's what one of the election absorbers had to say about those irregularities. it was no fair election to be sure not to speak about fair election. it was, i'm for you. i can repeat that the building of the always the do it was on say, uh and, and i think if you ask me as a politician then they said, i think the victory in belgrade was stolen from the bushes. dw is brussels bureau chief, alexander phenomenal. she gave me this update from the great yeah, we are in the center of the live election committee and the people and maybe all the time rahman martin could show you're a bit around the people that you see around are those. so there are supporters and

members of the pro western opposition, united under the name therapy against violence. and there are here because there are saying not accepting those resolves, say thing, then b, l, the victory at these in bellevue, i was stolen from them. and that is why there are here, and they demand from the election a commission to cancel the resolve. there are no, it's okay with what's happened. they think they should have one here in delray and the you have spoken to members of the o. s and see um what, what did they tell you what exactly did they observe that leads them to say that this election was stolen? slow. one of them told me that he personally observed bell duck stuffing. he saw fake ballads and being stuff in the bela dogs and he felt that he said that he could tell that they were fake because they are,

they were printed on a different kind of paper and they still have the official stem. and we heard a lot of those such reports with people being intimidated, being threatened with losing their job. if they don't vote for the ruling party, there are also reports about people who were brought in boxes and then to the city of bell, right from outside the country. 40000 new ideas were issued according to the opposition. so the european election of service, they were sort of diplomatic saying that they can only observe, it's not up to them to make any assessments assessments or to calls for the cancellation of the votes. but the independence or the of service of the legs are more outspoken. at least saying that what's happened to you in belgrade? the official results in bells rates do not represent the will of the people.

alexander, you could be standing and, and what is the middle of europe's latest political powder keg? what can we expect to happen next? realistically, well of course i ask people here whether they believe that anything can change by then taking students read some uh are helpful. other are saying we need more radical means to bring about a change in serve. yeah, some are saying the european union needs to put more pressure on president bush's and he's government. but of course, the, you are peons are afraid that in that case, he could turn more it towards a russia and then russia could get even more influence here. then they already have definitely a valuable situation. we know that you will keep us up to date on what's happening . dw, both of your chief alexander, for now i remember the latest from bell rate,
