the, the business dw news live from balance is rarely forces free to hostages in a raid and goes up off the 128 days in captivity. lewis har and fernando my mom, reunited with family members of the medical checkups at the hospital via television . also in the program, you minutes to say that you ins and baffled agency for public opinion. refugees on rock needs continued funding. but is that enough to keep the agency working the

guy that is welcome to the program to hostages back in israel after being freighted and overnight raid in gaza. israel says they were rescued in a special operation in the southern city or for a font. the 2 men were keeping up by hum us doing the october 7th terror attacks on israel. they were then flown by helicopter full medical checkouts to hospital and utilities. were united with the families, louise hall, and fernando see more mom on will rescued by israel's military and security forces during overnight raids and rafa off to a $128.00 days held captive by hamas and gaza. they are currently receiving treatment in a hospital where they're both said to be in a stable condition for the families, the sense of relief is mixed with concern for the hostages still being held in gaza . start kelly for us as a family. there will save 2 nights,

but i must say that the job is not done. we are happy today, but it's not the way we did it when it just so now the step 2 was bringing gig or the other 134 hostages back home. and it doesn't matter if it's a baby's, women, men, and their people. everybody must come back as soon as possible is really strikes devastated pumps of rough uh, overnight flattening buildings and destroying a mosque. dozens of palestinians were killed and many more taken to hospital with serious injuries. we were at home when the air strikes were going on. i told my mother that i wanted to use the bathroom and she was awake.

suddenly all the walls at the bathroom and all the water containers above it collapsed on me. most of the roughly 1400000 palestinians currently in rough or floods from other parts of garza. they were trying to escape the intense fighting and other areas and the city was designated a safe so in to civilians. by the is ready. the army recent is rarely strikes some rough uh, have eliminated any sense of security for palestinians. the marine, the mirror on is a military on list at the bowl studies department of kings college london. i also why it's such a difficult task as well, to rescue the hostages as well, we have to understand in what conditions a mazda operates and gaza. we know that on the one hand they use building civilian buildings. on the other hand, they're also use underground tunnels. and it is to assume that they are not keeping

the hostages all in one place, meaning that they would have dispersed because we have to understand the importance of hostages to come off. this is a bargaining chip, the thomas can use to negotiate, sees fires, was israel. so for how much it's very important to ensure that is rarely, soldiers do not find the hostages and finding them as like a finding a needle in a stack. but you 1st have to locate the stack. and so it's very, very difficult. and we have seen also cases where is that you for all the soldiers, didn't recognize their own hostages. so they don't know exactly what these people look like as well, making it even more serious. now, israel has um, not come up with a plan for over a 1000000 displays. thousands who are sheltering in rafa. but what a potential ground defensive look like. that is correct. there is no concrete plan except for sending these people one and

a half 1000000 to the north. i do not seem to all of these people can be relocated and conducting a ground defensive with one and a half 1000000 packed into golf ball. that means that there will be collateral damage, and it is inevitable because if, even if you're using precision guided munitions to destroy buildings, there is still a risk off collateral damage. and of course, for the ground troops, this is not a nice environment to operate. and because they will have to separate the population from the home off, meaning that's i'm asking just comfortably father hired inside of the population and must be easily distinguished again, i'm creating a greater risk for civilian casualties, which would again benefit from us to show what israel and military is doing to civilians and of course with israel and military. it is bad in the sense of neutral civilians who might not have supported from us before will certainly throw their

support behind how much seeing how these for all the soldiers are killing palestinians who are not part of the conflict. now there have been a repulse, and that's a related issue of how must fight as reappearing in the north. and there is ongoing fighting that around from units as well. what's happening with the ground defensive in those areas? oh, from what it looks like. so the units area is still active in the sense that it is not completely clear that on the control of the idea. and because how much a student has a working part of their tunnel, not work. they can also use that in order to surprise that use rarely forces and that's what they have been doing, making it very difficult to clear areas and to hold them and meet meaning. also that even if, if role comes up with was a good plan to get some sort of lands,

aldo, for alpha, we have again, the risk of a modest fighter, is escaping together, was a civilian, some popping up in areas where one wouldn't expect to remember on this on the whole side of the department of kings college london. thank you very much. marina. thank you for having me. you develop administer as have agreed on the need to keep funding for you, ends and baffled agency for palestinians refuse busting and refugees on rob. you foreign policy chief, joseph burrell made the announcement following toltz with on raw heads in brussels . israel said 12 of the under as well, cuz were involved in the homeless terror attacks on october 7th, many of under his bonus, including you, member states has since suspended the funding. it was war still engulfing goza. an organization tasked with protecting post indians is in crisis,

is really allegations that several un stoffers were involved in the october 7th terror attacks. have prompt to dote among some western donors that they've switched . anything that goes without seeing that we've suspended age and we want to fuel investigation and that can be new business as usual, gets the targets on the united nations relief and works agency for palestine. refugees in the near east or in row was founded back in 1949. the organization tasked with offering aid on protection to palestinian refugees is active in gaza, the westbank east jerusalem jordan lebanon, and syria. but nice. some of its biggest backers, including germany, have temporarily post payments. the european union says it will decide on its next cash injection later this month. not individual you members states or divide it countries including the netherlands, finland, and sweden have also frozen funds for 9. but others including belgium and ireland,

15 to continue payments, while portugal and spain have up to their pledges, withdrawing funding for such an agency, i was to collect the punishment of the palestinian people who are actually going to an am describable situation in terms of human rights, so i am very proud of what the spanish government is doing. israel has long been critical of enrol and argues that time off considered a terrorist groups by the u and u. s. has infiltrate to the agency. it's embassy and brussels sent us. the statement is rarely as committed to provide humanitarian aid to go is a civilian population in accordance with been smashed no little. however, due to the blatant evidence against monroe and this members involvement in terrorist activities, we propose that the aid will be provided by alternative means. but una spurts, say that's not feasible, there is no way that any organization can replace or substitute just tremendous capacity. the fabric of monroe,

the ability and the knowledge of the population in gaza has fired 10 employees on the 1st results from an independent review of the agency are expected in march. but the body says h needs funds know to help keep people alive. now that's what they use for an product that you've said of today's needs to discontinue the support order would mean the interruption or provide those services to millions of people in need. and then great that you many times and catastrophe and guys. and there's only one way in which the agency can be dissolved. it's dangerous, it should be dissolved when there is no more police team to invest. as you probably from all of this, let's bring ended up being transplanted. rose budget is standing behind brussels for us. what was the major decisions will be made today? what is the use plan now regarding you know,

we just heard there from the use foreign policy chief use at burrell. it might have sounded like quite a definitive statement. it's important to enroll, but in fact, it's really not just up to him on different e u. member states, or certainly on different pages of both based in terms of how to continue or not their funding to enroll. so germany, for example, says it's paused at future commitments or it's pause you commitments, but it's not, for example, given an ongoing payments on the european commission side. so that's the ease executive based here in brussels. a cash injection is expected to be to be released . it should be released in march, however, we don't have a decision yet. there on the the chief officer has been meeting with you. officials today. he told us during was that there were some conditions set out for that to unlock those funds. so for example, i'm facing of staff, a review of recruitment processes, but it should be said that the actual funding amounts. so finding these funds will be released. how much it won't means is that still really today still remains in

tights. now what does that all that mean? full on right. well the inner chief here in buffalo has painted a pretty bleak picture picture. he talks about the ability of the organization to deliver vital services like health and education. i've been told by enrolled that's 16 countries have in some way or other post funding and we know that that include some of the police really big donors know i asked the inver chief whether he himself to consider resigning in order to try and restore some of that trusts, he said that was not on the table just no, of course israel has called for his resignation. and israel very much argues that in or has been infiltrated by him. also just because of the terrorist organization by the ear, the us and many others. so the structure of this organization still, i think it did looking look in in don't in terms of exactly what it will look like . but there was, i should say, according to you hi, representative breland agreement in principle among these members states that where is an important organization that it sorts of important persons. and we also heard that stay from the german minister presence. now what else,

what was the stood out for you at that press conference? yeah, and then, well, there was one thing which really grew up my attention and it was not told about funding of this organization. it was the use high representative burrell coming up with what seemed to me to be a very, very thinly veiled criticism of the united states, and particularly the policy of supporting israel militarily, said you, on the one hand, if you're going out and seeing the civilian death toll and cause it is too high. perhaps you might consider not sending weapons. so that seems to be directed directly. it seems to me at washington, although he didn't particularly name checks and he said, look, i've got enough to do monitoring e foreign policy. never mind us foreign policy, but of course i think not something that the u. s. would refute and we've had some movement on not here in europe today, while there are no military support for israel here in europe. there are some countries fitness, continue to look exports of weapons that includes the netherlands in a courtney never was has in the past few hours or just the government to hold

exports of 5 project parts to israel. and the government then site is going to appeal that so lots of different moving parts here. and certainly what seems to be to be some quite fierce criticism from the east foreign affairs to pose a bunch of been processed. i think you will see the ends of sports is now american football, super bowl. the kansas city tree safety feature is the san francisco $49.00 is to win the 2nd straight national football league. they have to come from behind. however, san francisco scored on a strict flight in the game to seize a 10 points the public seats then took the game into obits on to the delights of famous fun, toyota swift, for patrick holmes. then in spite of the winning drive for a 25 to 20, to try and us and that's it from me and the news team. so now i will have an update at the top of

the i don't go way up next. a documentary examines shine as role in leading the wins food and agriculture. organize that god offers in building from me and the news team here. the guy who uses your thoughts see who the it started.
