here in boston or living in a temporary sense. and every day we try to provide access of these one who means that ottoman associated initiatives out there might be some meters fluids in the mass. i that's the get see, or rice or and then some the then tennessee, you know, so we would like to ensure that you have enough of that every day with a lot of things like days like a cheese to keep us warm. but it's just fun to like notify. busy of every day we have volunteer science research for 3 wants us throughout the neighborhood yet. and in addition to that, the new season has out. i have many of us are sick and we're just trying to make it to the hospital is a very big bed because it's like a small town. and people are living everywhere on the street inside the buildings

around the states, together with many thousands of engine on the long term patients here and their families that are also many refugees for. busy it's a very, very packed area. you have about 55000 fee for the process in a very small we hope to hear the sound of the s bikes. the sound of the says fine, get ahold of us. we thought we every like the thanks have it as close as the 150 meters. i think there's really no idea. i mean, the city forces with off hospital before they would do personally when i wasn't as the city a couple of times, the things that i text me right away, bombs with their own strikes, had no idea to save that as normally save a mazda of all sorts itself for the couple of size. this was the un released on walks agency for palestine. refugees in the near east has taken issue with is

waiting for people to a thought to 8 from parts of southern gauze. why? mountain suspicion to us from that they point out that there is now no safe place to go people and goes, there are people they don't pieces on the checkable. many have already been displaced several times. these really all me just oldest people to move into areas where they're ongoing as strikes. no place is safe. no way to go. well, we have a passion for joined lifestyle, retaining fees, spokes past due to the international committee of red cross in tourism. sorry. thank you very much, taking time to speak to us. thank you so much for having me close on the 1st thing i do want to ask you this picks it up and what we heard from the, from not, i mean as well as getting the palestinians provide to 8 this time the saying you need to need hon eunice, which is in the south. the policy itself would've been pushed down the enclave. contents was previously the safe place. so as we took now,

where all the safe places for civilians and casa, you know, i really think that the civilians in dog, they would say that there isn't, there is a place for them to be right now. maybe they're not in direct areas with also still these are going but there are so many other challenges. i say for food and security, all they say from this home the cold went out, it's only decreasing in temperature. all they say when they, when they, it's so slow to get treatment that people don't have the resources for. it really is such a devastating situation and up to 2 and a half months of constant explosions. and as, as we get 100 people be displaced multiple times, i really don't feel any to say that there is the same place. i mean, you mentioned that obviously, but the situation is lessening we fall winter as well, but temperature is

a 12 pig. we've also got the risk of infectious diseases spreading. so i do want to ask you, and you'll professional opinion all that renewal off medical supplies to deal with any potential outbreaks. ron allen, donnelly know that there is a very low amount of medical supplies lower than what is needed. there is not enough of medical supplies even got up to respond to the immediate needs to things like infectious diseases. and there are other aspects that will, sorry um to do like this, and it takes you to a 100 frames and all that right now, what do you plan on working? and this means that things like sewerage, are you, the slides is create a very great public health risk. and that there really is not the human resources, all the supplies that could kind of rotate the risk of infectious diseases. so many people are in such a densely populated areas right now. living in the top with the nurse solid walls

around them, very little certification facilities. very visual. see what's all, this is a really great is on the increase the on as a day. so on. i do want the us to, i mean the palestinian red crescent. a for example has accused is route of targeting as well. cuz on its facilities we saw a recent case that was rate on the trip audit. i'm going to center, it stopped and members what rested. i'm just to get you kind of a sudden. so generally, how difficult, how dangerous is it for a while? cuz who are trying to do that job right now, and the goal is to strip so right now i can speak well ask you this has no committee of the red cross. we are finding it very difficult to read or else the security guarantees are not there. and we need these be safety guarantees for asked off to be able to safely move around and be confident that they,

they will be able to reach people across any conflict situation where they're all active on facilities is a challenge. and of course, we continue to speak to all the party people in these conflicts about the need for the aid in general to reach people who off the route past, and russell, the lodge of youth placement tense. unfortunately, at this time, it still is a very, very challenging situation. route needs to be able to do that. i want to ask you to me about how the secure. so guarantees on that is that it is not to suggest that not being different, but the guarantees are not being applied by it is really such a about possibly a bullying situation out teams, it just door and feel like varies based off what you guys heard and what to take place right now,

of course they all working in the said places like hospitals in the southern area, but places like they have been very challenging for teams to get see. i mean, we do know that they're off to civilians that and as i said we, we will continue to speak to the side of this conflict to make sure that we can reach the people who desperately need to apply a support. we know we also the image is the red cross ping pots in the return of the hostages during that truth, before you open eyes ations victims as well. transpiring the people i'm and do we know anything about the remaining hostages, who up is for the families. they desperately want them home, doesn't look like they should have any contact with them because that was an issue at one point. yes, oh cool. this is a last gesturing situation, but the families of hostages in israel, as well as the hostages itself. at this time,

we are still cooling for our access to the stages so that we can do exactly as you said, check on their wellbeing. and so they receive any medical treatment that is required and very important. please re establish the contact with their family methods. we work with the bones in facilitating the release of a 109 hostages now. and we are incredibly relieved that we are able to, to take part in that. but we do know that they're all still hostages. time beheld it. uh huh. and we are continuing to request to ensure that they to be united with their families. i just want to quit to return to the humanitarian situation. i'm israel has suggested that it's possible to allow 3 times more 8 trucks into garza. i'm, what are your thoughts on, on was and thoughts and off that we really welcome to any increase in a, any increase in the supply or costs. the interim dollars off,

because really the front was all and then need say, ok, so immense. the sort line ranging things like disposable or bank. hope this deal is he's very quickly being on the white stipends, but she rates flooring tablets to purify botox, hospital beds, a very large range of supplies is needed. but we would also like to use surveys that, that access the guarantees, sorry, of safety to be able to basically distribute this type of a is also needed. now we do have a lot of a coming to the street, but we con, affectively distribute this to the people who did it. unfortunately, why haven't you packed we full on on friday, the un security council pasta resolution saying that they need to speed up deliveries to civilians in gauls. uh um, do you have hope that somehow this well makes your jobs is?

yeah, we are cold. well, okay, well, so these decision absolutely reduce pipe that's more efficient process is that can be put in place to ensure that civilians do receive or even the best specials, things like a basic supply of food and water use getting sold up. there are things like 80 biology, children will start getting the money out and people are living on the 10th right now. uh, so we offer this type of political decision all the time. political agreements tend to be the organizations like uh, and we will continue to reiterate the need to resist, including the needs the same aspect. so to begin, uh, be sure you these times that people are sort of desperately in need of. the final thing, if i could, sarah, i mean about same security council resolution and for just the age,

which as you said much needed and everyone i think over joyce of thought they did remove the cool for a safe spot though i just went to austin, you'll someone who's all the same jerusalem, you have colleagues who. 4 seeing things that really, people shouldn't say dealing with people who are living through things that they shouldn't have to lift through. and your message just to someone kind of from the inside. what would you say to people who are saying, but now it's not the time for us, that's fine. we want it, we strongly res, right? that any political agreement, whatever form this takes is very welcome and it is needed. what people are leaving for a ride. now people have lived through for more than 2 and a half months is incredibly high level of violence. people have been displaced, multiple times, parents are desperately trying to find one close to the children. people are biding

whatever they can find, so that they have for us to keep because a lot of people cannot continue. so these last these of the situation will only continue to deteriorate as the, the immune system of people where down the situation is very long. people, it's so many ways when people have permanent increase in their immune system is worn down and again increases the risk of secondary and tertiary challenges. large infectious diseases like the ability to be able to recover from worries that was the st. john's complex we, we really urge. * for a political solution to be whatever that may, but i will and that may take, in order to do this, to 1000000000 the people who are not, you both is fine, sense or rest buys from what they have be leaving for months. now, what we really appreciate you taking the time to speak to us, and of course we will wish you and your colleagues over the past as

a safety of course, as they do that much. and he to it walks out with sarah to if his spokes passed since the international committee of the red cross interest. and thanks very much, sarah. thank you so much. have a nice, a as well as the casualties continue to mount every day. the number of operational hospitalized as well as the medical stuff needed to run them, as sarah was saying, that is decreasing the outlets. the hospital in central dogs is just one of those on the immense pressure of the an idea straight. for example, know cool such the survivors in the rubble, at least 40 people have reportedly been killed in strikes on central golf, on top, se nice office to turn off the are because this report from the out. so we're here in a lot. so hospital, a medical facilities that has been badly damaged so many people are coming here because of the as rarely rates which target civilians in particular. it's making

the situation worse. there's a lack of medical facilities here to deal with the severity of people's injuries. we will try to show you what the survivors are dealing with in this intensive care units. most of them are women and children. curious, dr. sammy, all have top people. the head of the emergency room had all locks to the hospital. you will show us what sort of condition the victims already that when they are brought here, like a let people sleep in a, a doctors due to the ongoing conflict. a large number of casualties are being brought here to all watch the hospital visit with limited facilities. how do you help the injured brought to you? and frankly speaking, it is difficult to deal with because we're not seeing cases, we're only a lag is broken for someone experiencing abdominal loading. we treat a variety of cases including broken bones, trust, injuries and head injuries such as these cases here with this child. and another child, the patients are coming to us with different diseases and multiple injuries. and

this creates a major obstacle for us in treatment or surgery. in addition, there is a huge number of cases coming in, and this creates a serious obstacle. so things are definitely difficult to give heads us, i was just sort of, i mean the increasing number of injured women children coming in and the hospital not having the capacity to receive such a large number of patients. do you have the necessary steps on the books? i am talking about the necessary number of medical staff to receive such a large number of victims and provide them with the needed care of default. well, unfortunately, medical staff do not have the capacity to do so. then the size of the hospital cannot accommodate such a large number of wounded and sick sugar to fill it out to cut off. you have the thank you, dr. with nothing here in all. lots of hospitals, operating theatre. there was a serious shortage of medicine and necessary equipments. as the military operation continues to situation and gossip is becoming increasingly difficult to manage. sean will have enough salt and warranty because for you to buy it as,

as christmas is so traditionally festive day has been a little but officially counselled in the west bank. the locals way of showing solidarity with the federal palestinians who a car down to compartment in 1000. on the middle east bureau chief worth and austin picks up the story. beautifully decorated 3 in the middle of bethlehem and the spirit of christmas throughout the city where jesus was believe to have been born all of celebrating proud a torture songs here. here's your christmas celebrations. all across the west bank have been officially cancelled with what is happening in guys. i'm palestinians here. say they do not feel like it's time for facilities in downtown bethlehem where they usually hank and the strings of christmas lights. the workers pull up a pen or a reminder of tragedy unfolding in the palestinian and clay. antoine, son of mon, is best the hens for me, or can we cause? same decisions were made at least twice during both into father's violence,

palestinian mass uprisings against israel. and it is not, it's about solidarity. we are, and both of them or in jerusalem or in my lovely, i've bought over there, but i've seen in the people and we, i'm not the sort of the so and so did that it to dollars of we also have the same stuff inc and we have the, the same cutting in the middle of the square with famous christmas tree is placed every year. preparations are on the way to set up an installation of a different kind of activity on the rubble. there's nothing that they wouldn't be shown as bombarded by the as or 80 and aircraft. we are showing baby jesus. why virgin mary carry out him. do it on a way to egypt in order to protect him from the decision that has to be taken by her or those to can or kids and bethlehem. and it is very similar in what's happening and goes through nowadays the people,

the families of taking their kids to assess a class to protect them from the is that are in occupation. christmas is usually high season in bethlehem with crowds of children, foreigners from around the globe. the city has accepted around 1500000 visitors in the 1st 9 months of this year. with a 1000000 overnighted stays in local hotels. the israel have mass for has changed everything. the financial losses for the city, which mainly depends on tourism are tremendous. every day, every single day we lose $1000.00 us dollar because of the war because of the absence of tourism. kind of stunning. janetta we are losing 2500000 a day. much it from the tories ministry says the biggest challenge is that the workers, thousands of them involved in all those effective industries. tories themselves souvenir production have lost the source of income. if you go to the social media,

you see post people asking for has full financial help for financial support, which is the 1st time that i see such kind of such kind of messages going from out from inside a lot of houses and how what time it is and i'll come in, it is most of the shops in the city. i closed it so a new job to see the streets of bethlehem empty. and the iconic blue gauge shot in one location we found open has a history. and the reason not to locate stores, 3 generations of one palestinian family have been running it for almost 100 years. they say it is more than just a shot because this place also it's part of the forward heart. so we don't want to go with both we come, we open, we see our friends or family, especially the space as opposed to the better space of jesus. so that's gives us more hope. religious, sacrament is and nature's all traditions remain intact. you're in this dark

christmas, even though they usually packed churches are far from being. so right now, a church backyard is the only place where we found some decorations and answers to how the religious community sees the conflicts between israel and thomas. the church is always against the violence judge that the same, that's not the sense, but also we can not generalize if a part of palestinian or 5 to phase of that you me a mic violence. you cannot say both, but a scene is violent and all is right. in spite of violence, father rami says, human history has always seemed dark and wide pages. prayers these here he tells me, we'll all be about wisdom and the will to make the right choices. what is the solution? we pray in this christmas for the peace and the to eliminate the mind that the highest of the leaders of the word. so they will save the humanity, not save their interests. and only god knows how many more palestinians in gaza and

his riley soldiers will die before the long awaited peace. well this is not the. 6 time that's best, let him and all of palestine. i'm going through hard times. people say this current crisis is by far the most painful and hard breaking. but as always, especially during christmas, the ra hopes here, that's the hard shapes, like the ones of the past will be overcome and the light will shine through the darkness. reason ocean are all t reporting from bethlehem and merry christmas smalls. and a 1000 palestinians have allegedly been killed in a field style execution during the idea afraid on costs. a city claim has been detailed by the geneva face of human rights watch dog, new or meds which purposed eye witness testimony. the soldiers gathered more than 50 men and force them to strip naked. then they opened fire on them and executed them in front of us. my husband,

but 3 sons and my brothers were executed in front of us. then they locked us and the rest of the women and children in the room and fired shows that as well as rarely forces was stationed outside the house. well, this is joking testimony from the your i made human rights organization. we have to say that it hasn't been independently verified at this stage and how they've spoken to a number of eye witnesses for all my number of families that have been displaced in garza who say that the sultan's and the husbands, that relatives with shots in cold blood ideas where the defense falls. now, according to the survivors and to the eye witnesses, some 15 men were rounded up, split medicaid, and then shots in front of them. oh, those have been severely wounded. they were many a sorry women and children would look to the room. apparently miss oliver throw some of those injuries include amputations, an elderly published any amount has been taken away by is widely sold just oh, there's a saying that they would deliberately targeted despite indicating that they didn't

pose a french army forces rated the building, detained. the young man forced them to take off their clothes, shots in front of us, and executed them, including my husband and my brothers parents. then they locked us in a room and fired at us. i was wounded along with a 9 month old baby girl. and my 6 year old child was also wounded. my husband is drowning in his own blood in front of us now. and we are afraid that they will come back to attack us. we informed them that we are civilians and raised the white flag . and now you are and that says is receiving an increasing number of testimonies, outlining these humanitarian atrocities, including field executions. i citing the is writing so just opening finding people's homes in discriminant lee and the assignment what things are occurring in areas where they have come on to find these values. so we'll just come on to find

from palestinian resistance groups, but the homes that they're targeting, the not posing a threat, these are on, on so many. and so you're my deciding that this is evidence of revenge attacks, which of course is a violation of international law. they're also saying that a palestinian civilians are being targeted was that uh, moving between husbands because of the displacement. so we receive testimonies of killings of thousands of civilians in the streets and homes showed bodies the way we all miss night posts or targeted by israeli artillery shells. while the bodies will jump to the streets and they passed without them being recovered. these killings and field executions, all one of the types of high risk, while a since practiced by israeli forces in areas open codes and which includes floating, intimidation, arbitrary arrest, torture, and widespread destruction. without any necessity or proportionality. some very difficult allegations by now the, your a med report. steve also takes aim at some of the international organizations that

are currently operating in garza. and what exactly does the report say apply with those groups? well, the families and the survivors have appealed to the international committee of the red cross to evacuate them to say van lines, but you are a made. your image has been very critical of the organization, unexposed it to quote, show that it's responsibilities and listen to the appeal that is accused of red costs or refusing to help displace the people including women. it's also being very critical, or is why which it says has a duty as an occupying power to provide medical aid and assistance. so new roommate is coating for an international probably been to white described as the risk climbs, committed find these way, the defense fulls, of course, many of describing what's happening in gaza as a a genocide. auntie has requested comment from both the i d f. and you are a med,

i both have yet to respond and find me who is the minutes is from yeah. then have a pool to the a talk to 2 oil time because in the red sea, with drones, the incident follows a pledge by a senior c official. the revel. good. we'll continue talk. the thing is really vessels in those waters suggesting that moral duty in life events in golfing of america smells mental. these tablet spence, of the coalition of shame will not prevent us from continuing all military operations until the clients of genocide in garza stopped and foot. madison and fuels are allowed to enter its besieged population. this is a moral and humanitarian position, but we will not abandon no match of the sacrifices it costs us to this claim to where he told us that's linked to as well. some of those 2 lots of action was the last month storming of a call to ship on route from touching to india. and the controllers was able to pull back up to the vessel and has this time to leave. and one of the most

contestants this is the ports of a city because this is where is really ships are being captured by humans, maybe forces, as you can see behind me is the galaxy leader. this was actually, the 1st is really, is really the leadership that was captured about a month ago as it was attempting to cross up and up in the red sea. as you can see there it's, it's turned into an attraction site. and many vacation if you were made across human and it made their way to the site is bessie ac for the ship. and this is the

travel we travel across the country to meet here so they can get a tour of the ship. get a tour of the galaxy and which has been stationed and detained here along with the team members for about a month. at a couple of days. west has came to release the ship and released members. however, that's not happening and we are about to get on a moment right now and get a tour of the ship and perhaps try to get some interviewed with some of the team members if they are available with them on when we talk about the galaxy lead of us, so we're not just talking about how we capture the ship and towed it to this pulled on. more importantly, the capture of this ship is a symbol in an accomplishment that we have broken the back of the arrogance hatch them on the powers of the us. and this is all i missed into the hi validated. we've already experienced 8 years of war and conflict by the coalition forces. this is nothing new then we've experienced this.
