but the, this is dw news life from the end, israel pressed as the head with its offensive and gaza on us reports heavy showing in several cities. that's as global power as positive security council resolution that fails to coal for a ceasefire. that does appeal football, humanitarian a christmas, and bethlehem is of this year the war and gaza and the as well as crack down in the west bank. it made best if it is almost impossible the

bank visible and woke up fighting between israel and hamas is raging on in the last 48 hours the how much spawn health industry and gaza says more than 400 people were killed in his way. the attacks in gaza city as well as tom e, as in gauged in the street the street come back with homeless, which is designated to a terrorist organization by the european union and united states. the latest violence follows you when security council resolution that fell short of calling for a ceasefire. and the other day brings more death and destruction to the guys this trip. this is really strikes heating, residential areas. like here in the southern city of con, denise relatives burying the victims of the latest attacks on friday. guys, it's come us run the health ministry side more than $20000.00 people have been killed in these really offensive so far about one percent of the territories population.

how would that as cost? yeah, i mean, lots of these people are supposed to be safe in their home, mostly protected by the law. i know, but as a man of the law, i declare that international law has collapsed the problem with a we and we're not allowed to have faith in any international law. then let me say merely represents the law of the week. if israel were in the palestinians position that the world would not stand still and would and left them at the present time to meet the strikes on saturday, came just hours up to the un security council approved a what's her down resolution. it avoids calling for a cease fire instead, the creation of conditions for a sustainable truce. but the u. n. t found that palestinian representative want a hold to the fighting this resolution is a step in the right direction. it must be implemented and must be accompanied by

massive pressure for an immediate cease fire. i repeat immediate cease via the road with despite cro in international pressure. israel says, and he sees fire would only help him us if this council seeks to enter still it is, it should start by supporting israel's mission of returning hostages. and eliminating doing this almost threat at the very least, must prevent from us is empowerment. just as his counselor is committed to increasing aid, it should also be committed to blocking the smuggling of arms and transport weapons to the almost terrorists of the un resolution calls for life saving age be rushed to gaza at scale with guys on to fools, really bombardment it's unclear if in when does dumont can be fulfilled bottom the page from the wins world food program gave us an update on the humanitarian situation and gaza glasses and yeah, i mean it's really difficult. um,

people in the living through how as we speak they have nothing to eat and nothing to drink now home anymore. and the problem to diseases, nowhere to say is not for them, but also not for a few minutes. harry is on the ground. i mean, a trickles in, we still reach people, especially in the south, but more or less on an ad hoc basis. so age is not flowing inside gaza as it needs to be. and we don't reach people across the street, although it needs all masses and actually a is needed everywhere. what do you make of the un security council resolution? it is definitely a welcome step. as the secretary general outline, it's not enough. we need to seize fire. now that it costs only when guns fall silent, we can rebuild the humanitarian system. that is basically on the brink of collapse inside with god. you cannot as you and we cannot do our job when phones are

following and fighting is continuing. that's why we need these guns to fall. so i don't actually help those people wherever they are. and especially on the road people like you know, pregnant women children because they need, it needs the most. so how does this all fit together with the counselors call on organizations like yours to get significantly more a into gaza while uh, there is no chat sofas. these find not even a temporary truce as well. i mean, our call is we need all crossings open. we much more a because of all the trickling and that's the secretary general's type. i mean, we can, we, we, there's no, there's no use in counting trucks because the needs of massive. our latest figures actually show that there is a loop in san gaza. and basically everyone is,

is going hungry and gaza. families does not have enough to eat and more people got uh, phasing catastrophic hunger then in the rest of the world combined. i mean, the best number is staggering. and the you know, says basically says it all, we need much more 8 and actually to distribute that a efficiently effectively inside of god. we need a ceasefire because you cannot, you cannot build up the military system when palms are following. i find it interesting that as well is not on the same page as your organization and other humanitarian groups when it comes to the assessment of a lack of 8. so why do those views differ so greatly that that is a difficult question. i mean, we, are you retiring on the organization? we have people on the ground. we have our witnesses every day. we see what is going

on. and now there's, there's 7 phone security report that is basically the young politics is, you know, black and white, that the situation is so terrible and not comparable to any other place in the world. and that is a, that is an independent assessment. and again, we need is these far, and we need much more if that's the situation we see every day with our own eyes in god. you know, from the policy prevents most person not in rent info, then thanks for joining us today. thank you man. see, i'm going fighting has all the cancelled christmas in the is way of the occupied westbank. the palestinian city of bethlehem is taking a particularly hot economic kit. the biblical birthplace of jesus is usually bustling with international visitors this time of year. but is waiting forces have monthly sealed off the area as a no con,
