the refugee camp and central gaza. much of the site is in ruins. some residents still buried under rubble. others have flood, trying to escape the bonding. they told us to go to russell, but we don't want to. why should we go and live in the street? said the entire neighborhood here was evacuated. as more people leave their homes in search of shelter, many end up in make shift camps overcrowded and without running water. daily life is a constant struggle page at all, and the wall and not from the pain, enough of the hunger of the hosting with hired of everything in his life. and that does nothing for basic needs. it's difficult to make dogs to wash clothes. we have to bring water to drink and to wash. we're all suffering mad that we need to buy,

sign or treat house with girls and women, but we can't find any. we have to wait and loan. cute. so what supplies running low food prices are also storing. the un refugee agency has warned that 40 percent of guys's population is at risk of famine. some people can't even buy a canned food because it's a prices that are not 10 times higher than before. no matter where they go, guys, and say their lives are always at risk. if the bombing doesn't kill them, they fear a slow death from hunger or disease. well stephen ryan, from the international committee of the red cross, is in rasa. we're nearly half of all guys and it's a flash and he told us by the condition there as well. they the same thing you see across rough uh each and every day become more and more uh,

concerning. ready over the last couple of weeks, we have seen tens of thousands, a, if not hundreds of thousands of people arriving rough, had to set up 10 pretence in places that aren't designed to hold large numbers of people. you would have seen in the reports as now that the, the conditions in these places are not suitable. there isn't enough water and there isn't enough. uh, sheltering material i, there isn't enough sanitation. and certainly people also don't have enough access to foods, even if there is food in the americans. you would have heard that most people can't afford us. so the conditions here in rafa are extremely dire. and the amount of turn organizations that are here are struggling to be able to respond because we do not have enough relief supplies to be able to meet these needs. these situations, these places are not set up to receive large numbers of people. and each and every day, more or more people arrive at a steven ride from the international red crescent in rafa. basic look now at some other stories from around the world. a russian course has sentenced

a writer to 7 years in prison for reciting a poem against the war. and ukraine. argue i'm come. margin was arrested during an anti mobilization protest in september last year. and he has since accused police officers of torturing him in detention. the new river has overflowed at spikes and the hungarian capital, budapest, reaching its highest level in 10 years. docks and roadways have been flooded. in some businesses along the river were shocked, and street cars were cancelled. the danube is expected to return to normal levels by the weekend. ukrainian officials say a civilian cargo ship start a rushing mind while sailing through the black sea. 2 crew members were injured. the vessel was collecting grain from the southern ukrainian port of is my slash. the u. s. s. government has approved what could be is the final package of military age to ukraine. the deal is worth up to $250000000.00 in president joe biden has

made supporting ukraine against russia. and a key priority about republicans in congress have insisted they would authorize any more funding unless democrats agree to strict true measures to limit migration plan to ramp up domestic production of width and next deal. that's what into long range spike cones, which a queen has been using to strike fall behind enemy lines. for example, your target russian warships in the black sea of the war has led nato to reevaluate it security, especially on its eastern flank with russia. germany's reason tonight is spent of a permanent trip deployment. there is just one such change, dw starz, schultz report, rushes more on ukraine, made nato take another look at moscow and in the mirror, resulting in the biggest reconfiguration of the alliance. since the soviet union crumbled more than 30 years ago, the new plans were approved at nato is building a summit in july, we took the major decisions so to adopt reliance for the future. we agreed the

naples, most of the details under bus, the defense band, since the cold war defense plans that looked like those from the cold war, dividing alliance territory and to regional commands. outlining extraordinary operational detail in thousands of highly classified pages. it's kind of how many ships do you need here? how many soldiers do you need there? then of course you take it down below that and then you get into the real nitty gritty of how you would move the ship to right. and how you would move the soldiers around how you would we supply in great detail, all the sorts of things that you would expect to have in place where they have a need where they ever need it. is that plans and vision? 300000 troops, could move to nato's border with russia. within 30 days. one big change may seem painfully obvious, but wasn't automatic. identifying russia by name, as the alliance is main adversary,

any opportunity to not consider russia as an enemy is being lost. but what we've seen in ukraine in the very fact that we've written it quite clean, you know, clearly, and it's being, it's being used in our documentation. this political shift is huge for the alliance . finally, allowing open strategizing about how to beat it's most likely. opponent says military analyst alexander muscle are there is a much higher degree of detail for that is available for a military planners up to, to work with in terms of exercising in terms of planning and, and thinking through the campaign design. despite the political differences among allied governments that come out in other places here at nato's military headquarters in mullins belgium, admiral blount says everyone's on the same page. so will that change now that they've got $4000.00 new pages of plans to implement each like will be required to provide specific capabilities, equipments troops, and to keep them in

a high degree of readiness. this will be expensive and some governments aren't yet even close to spending the 2 percent of g. d, p, and defense. it's now a minimum expectation. still admiral blount and says, do you none of us approval of the plans, demonstrates unwavering unity within nato. we haven't seen anything about that send a few claim has been illegally invited by russia. professor model are says, it's important that the agreement has been formalized and writing on paper. you, you have, that's that consensus there, that, that nato machinery can, can build upon. even if in practice he notes, there's still a handful of allies, less than fully committed to their new responsibilities. and that hell are says rushes actions are a constant reminder of the risk of not doing so. well. our correspondent terry schultz who filed that report there, told us that nature was actually looking to the past as it re shapes as defenses.

as for, in fact, may nato's for we're looking plans actually look more like the way the alliance positioned itself during the cold war? in the sense that you needed more equipments and more troops, pre positioned along the front line, closer to the russian border. and that's what they're going to do now. they're really going to put a spotlight on what research sources they have and where and how quickly they could move if needed. if russia actually posed more of a physical threat to nato territory, that means every country is going to have to literally say, how many ships it has, how many tanks it has, how many troops it has, how quickly can they move? and that's going to make nato a lot more practically able to move, should it, should it have to, and know a 4 course in hopes that this is a deterrent effect. and then it doesn't actually have to go to where with russia. but as i mentioned in my report for the 1st time, they are naming russia as the most likely threat to nato territory. and they're also getting ready for just how russia wages war the database. terry shows that
