a lot of cross for defining a lot of rockets and then uh, also retaliation from both sides. so that could spill out of control. there's also a lot of tapia and concern, but it's really smart. all this means for potential in direct negotiations between uh israel and timos about releasing more of the is rarely hostages that remain in garza. so there is a lot of concern that there is a for the escalation, tonya, thank you so much for that. what is the date of his correspondent, tonya cramer, in jerusalem to the head of the world health organization has condemned an attack. on the posting and red crescent building in garza were displaced, people had been sheltering tedra scraped gabriel's describe. the strikes in the hospital as unconscionable. this comes with humanitarian situation in the territory

victims enjoying this, this is a very unfortunate incident and i would like to offer my sincere condolences while expressing my respect and gratitude for their sense of duty control will see unless this shortage shot by someone inside the passenger play. as it filled up with smoke, one passenger said he felt lucky to be alive. i can only say it was a miracle. we could have guide if we'd evacuated any later. i want to know why this happened. also, i don't want to go on planes anymore. experts say it's or not to everyone on the line or managed to escape to safety. in an evacuation audio, you want all the cx, it's open, we want all of the sliced to deploying mobility you want, if we want to get down the slides rapidly,

it's appears to me that tool was not used in the event collection. so that's a, that's even more remarkable. at least $75.00 trucks are deployed to extinguish the plays which tend to play and down to just it's utilize the chain of events that led to the accident. not yet known in japan's prime minister for me because she says the country has reached a critical point as rest doors race to find survivors of the powerful earthquake that struck on new year's day and the thousands of aftershocks that followed. the death toll has now arisen 262 and there are fears that heavy rains predicted by forecasters put him for the rescue. work is quite triggered. the fires houses tend to rustle roads, destroyed the optima of japan's powerful new year's day. a quake which with significant of the sharks full cost is still ongoing. and as japanese

rescue is scrambled to search for survivors, there was the warnings of land slides and heavy rain which could come to the efforts. japan's prime minister underlined the sense of urgency. as you seem to have secret uh by you and you, its being 40 hours since the quake the side shuttle, it's a race against time to rescue victims last night and we are at a crucial stage comes to us. he is doubling the number of military personnel and the pulling more rescue dogs to assist thousands of those who have survived the quake. and now without attic, tricity and volta. some have made that way to evacuation sends ispa shelter with stories of that road deal. but the garbage i'm gonna have to must go to my house is flattened content to it. so i'm here with my wife sleeping together in a huddled while talking to others and encouraging each other people. that's the situation now,

they'll go through with schools of people dads and many fed trapped under collapsed housing. this is a natural disaster that is still unfolding. let's get the latest from the w as correspondent james, which 8 are joining us from japan's west coast in the city of kind of our a hi. first of all, can you tell us how things are looking there at the moment? slow a hearing kinda is our, this is a city that's a bit further south from the west in parts it, um, regions that were mentioned in that report that a certain kind of though we've seen damage to rose, you've seen some damage to housing, but it's really not on the scale that it has impacted those regions on the northern parts of and know, surfing in seo services, cities like what z, my and susan, this is where the most gens rescue operations are going to be ongoing this evening despite the was sitting conditions. but really across this region across this west

and part of japan, this feels like a region that is on edge right from landing at the add ports and come out. so a little bit further south, you saw really a can continue a stream of japanese self defense forces. how do you called says moving north to try and continue those rescue efforts throughout the day. moving around this region . we've also had consistent sirens. so there was decided regions as i mentioned, but northern parts of notes that will continue to see rescue operations throughout the nights. but with, you know, the concerns that there will be more off the shots in the coming days. the region really remains. i'm concerned about what's what lies ahead. in addition to concerns of aftershocks, what are the other main challenges the rescue teams are facing right now? slow. the biggest challenge really is time. we now paul stopped 48 island locks and the main quake struck this part of japan and

austin, people talk about this 40 hour window where the, the likelihood of finding survivors trumps on the rubble is much higher. we've now cost uh the softer noon and then you start on top of that. these was thing conditions that i mentioned going into this evening. the weather is really cold. you might be able to hear it as rain behind me. the rain we understand is even worse, the getting those worst effects and regions. and so the concern is really that especially there might be land slides this evening. that was the next good thing that even a little bit of rain this evening could cause major line flights in that region and make ready difficult the rest of your operations even more challenging. and what about the survivors of these earthquakes? we know that initially some 100000 people were told to evacuate their homes, have at least some of them now been able to return home. but we understand the majority of those 100000 people that were initially evacuated, have been able to leave if actuation senses. that's because they were initially

evacuated because as you know, i mean warnings which are issues in the media off the mouth of the craig. um, although those, you know, i mean warnings have now been lifted. the bigger question really is, what homes are these people going to be able to return to? we've had reports from the mayor of suzy, like on, and not northern parts of notes or peninsula thing that some 90 percent of homes in the city have been destroyed. so again, they have been able to lead these to back to ration census, but the situation out better is really, really challenging. and you know, even the civil live is that going to face a long road back to reality following this outbreak. james, thank you so much. for reporting, let's state of these correspondent james tater, in kind of our to aid agencies or warning of acute hunger in afghanistan. this winter, new figures a show that nearly 16000000 people more than a 3rd of the population will face extreme food insecurity. heading into 2024 and

almost half of those affected our children scans don't have enough to eat. that has been clear for a long time. but the crisis is deepening. as 2020 full begins, agencies have a green view of the year to come. they estimate that more than one 3rd of the countries 40000000 people may experience acute food and security before spring half of them. children. hunger is dangerous for everyone, but children, especially in sufficient calories, result in physical and mental development issues that cause knock on effects later in life. a range of problems of converge to cause the hunger prices that result in less work in the winter. well, food and energy prices rise. global economic conditions have squeezed relief groups . sanctions on the taliban have also made it hard. is that those groups to work in the country and provide aid?

if aid is being used as a tool to pressure us, then the atlantic m or it has its own values, which it will safeguard at any cost. that scans has made big sacrifices in the past to protect our values. they will, in, during the cutting of 8 to those values include some of the harshest treatment of women in the world. women largely have to stay home and con, work that makes it even harder for families to make ends meet and beat them. i guess it's been 2 months since i was able to buy milk for my b b. i gave her a green tea, you know, feeding water. and i give her medicine, which makes her sleep from one morning to another. because if she wakes up and ask for food, i have nothing to give him. i've got his don presents a challenge to the international community, which one is to stop the top amount of power without stopping the population of much needed food?
