2:05 pm
including 2 main building the residential buildings this one and the other one next to it as really intensive ever strikes are killing women and children inside their homes and it is important to note that israel did not send out free warning for these buildings baseboards before they bombarded them which is something only 3 sedated as israel used to a warrant to people before they attempted to strike at the building there is. i mean a nearby who is living next to my house his wife told him i want to make it easy time to his wife wanted to go to visit her if either and here mother so she went to this building celebrating the 8th and unfortunately she is now i'm going to rebuild and instead of celebrating piccies now under the rubble and they're still searching for him by the way fuelers now this machinery have been has been trying attempting

2:07 pm
night have also hit is 3 turned roads throughout the gaza strip as the case with this street where this is street and where the street and the heart of gaza city that is the situation for the moment israeli average strikes over the area have on not only concentrated on residential compounds in douses but also in his 3 pts roads and that's that's what's going on for the time being. but we can go live now or to get and speak to a doctor met her at a bus director of the hour she for hospital there thank you for taking the time to speak to us today can you describe how this week has been for you and other medics there. well what has been a very hard and difficult and complicated week you know we've been living in a siege for 15 years and corona have reached us one and half year ago and now for
2:08 pm
the 7th day the israelis are attacking randomly and attacking domestic zones here as you know gaza strip is a tiny strip of land. inhabited by $2000000.00 population squeezed in 360 kilometer square the problem is that when they attack any of us and then ship it with certainty the only disobedience will be the victims of those attacks this is explaining why out of 1200 of the injured we have almost 50 percent women and children and this is explaining why there are 52 children among among those who were killed who are 181. you know the roads to the hospitals as you mentioned in this report of destroyed this is the main hospital in which you are standing today it's called chipper hospital and you know the main road leading to this hospital the street this road now is almost destroyed completely like no ambulances cannot go through them so you have to go in collected ways that will she's taking much
2:09 pm
more time to save lives of patients the other thing is that the destruction has not only reaches domestic zones whether it's on or worship places governmental locations so the situation is very miserable there is no safe place for people to go and for that reason this is really where we're forced to leave their houses and now they are existing thousands are already existing in shelters which of the schools will be on the way ok and you know will be always been the ocean which is there. just to tell us what is needed there at the hospital in terms of medical equipment is there enough are you lacking particular items. with the beds would certainly if the numbers continue mounting with the same rates because we have only $2200.00 beds in the government and hospitals if they say the same rate continues like this for the coming few days there will be no room to 3 patients inside gaza and there will be a collapse in the health system for sure for that reason now we are putting extra beds in the corridors and we're trying to expand the capacity of the operation
2:10 pm
rooms but if they continue attacking people like that way there would certainly be a collapse of the health system can you give us a sense of what ordinary people are feeling there is. all the anger is so lead directly or do ordinary gazans do they have any blame for hamas for what is happening here at all. i'm a physician but it's not the problem today you know in our homes i'm a father of 4 doctors and my sons you know they were scared also you cannot sleep in the psychological condition of the people is very poor today simply because you try to sleep due to midnight and then you wake up on barely big explosions that wake you up and then you have your heart will start to beat quickly and you are having you know very painful stress and panic and you don't know what's what will happen you have to avoid windows you don't know i mean by the way you don't know at what time they're going to attack anybody because there are people
2:11 pm
randomly and because when you see children of 2 years of being killed you do not you make sure you're not sure that anybody is going to be safe in gaza strip so who to blame that's another question the question is that they have provoked the people from the beginning in jerusalem and that's why they are putting the cat in the corner and they are expecting this to scratch we love peace we want to live in peace on our land we don't want to harm anybody but the problem is that we have to buy with our freedom our dignity ok that we have no harbor we have no airport you cannot travel outside so this is the problem so we are living under siege for 15 years and there is no way all the crimes that were committed before the old was under way with those crimes and they have never been going to the international criminal court to be to be responsible to be responsible to of what they did for the palestinian people i realize you want to get back to work but just finally what can be done how does this conflict and how do you see something stopping the
2:12 pm
violence and both sides. i'll use the words of a negotiator but. god bless his soul he said. we should. simply they're not convinced why the. people outside their own homes. if they let us live in peace we would certainly exist on our land without problem but that way. for 15 years what do you expect from those people and everything in this situation is becoming very miserable and. they thank you very much for your time. in your work the other doctors working there run the clock dr mehmet director of the al shifa hospital in gaza thank you. well armed groups in. continually fired waves of rockets at israel the southern

attacked 1st and has every right to defend its. let me show you something this rocket over here landed this morning in a home next to the bed of a 9 year old child this real thing landed what is proportional if if this lender that your own family's home and killed your own family what is proportional not one israeli should die because of unprovoked must attacks that proportional if they want to stop this they can stop and disarm themselves stop fighting israel and they'll be peace period. no civilian death is acceptable and that's why we have bor the fact that hamas uses civilians as human shields it means that to hamas is murdering its own people by hiding cowardly
2:15 pm
behind this civilians by hiding its command centers within buildings that belong. you know hospitals or schools this is a cynical 'd way of operating and they hold they wreck responsibility to all the deaths the days that were going to sit back and allow murderers terror groups shoot and 'd kill jews those days are over and the. numbers seem slanted all it means is that israel cares more about its own people than hamas about killing all people are planning to take down. any operator commander and command center because last monday unprovoked started shooting rockets at israel they decided when this round would start israel will decide when it ends the taliban and speaking to our team to conflict has also
