6:06 am
child patients are coming to us with different diseases and multiple injuries. and this creates a major obstacle for us and 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. heads up that we can sort of, i mean that with the increasing number of injured women and children coming in and the hospital not having the capacity to receive such a large number of patients. do you have the necessary staff? 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 default. well unfortunately, medical staff do not have the capacity to do so, and the size of the hospital cannot accommodate such a large number of wounded and sick sugar into philadelphia. philadelphia has a thank you doctor. here in all lots of hospitals, operating theatre. there was a serious shortage of medicine and necessary equipment. as the military operation continues,
6:07 am
the situation in gaza is becoming increasingly difficult to manage. we'll have enough r, r t gaza. if the meanwhile in a positive development of the united nations has overseen the delivery of humanitarian a to gaza, this is a via a secondary checkpoint opened by israel. i look report a robi bowman filed this behind me. you can see a convoy, you have trucks entering from egypt into gaza after weeks of negotiations with all parties, jordan ascend over is really land a convoy of 46 trucks bringing more than 750 tons of goods. it was part of the u. n's world food program, the deliberate food into war torn garza through this is really border crossing for the very 1st time. many is really is believe there should be no humanitarian aid allowed into gaza. as long as is rules fighting a war with home us. unfortunately,
6:08 am
they're over 2000000 palestinian citizens who will suffer from the deprivation of food and water if that actually happens in a similar vein. the cypress yesterday offered to create a c. carter for the steady flow of humanitarian assistance from cyprus that would sail directly into gaza with united nations personnel living there with distributed it is reported that is really prime minister of benjamin. it's in, you know, is in favor of this initiative, provided that the ships are vetted at the port of departure to make sure no weapons are being smuggled the board. if so, this will be another target on prime minister and that's in the i was back by is right. and we coalition where many members of his government want no aid at all to enter into the strip and they are threatening to bring down the government. this is robbie berman reporting from the car on show on border crossing for r t i nasa christmas is just around the corner. the traditionally festive day has been a little bit officially can sold in the west bank of the locals way of shopping,
6:09 am
solidarity with their fellow palestinians who remain on the bottom bottom and in gaza. as i'm at least bureau chief now picks up the store, a beautiful, a decorated 3 in the middle of best. let him and the spirit of christmas throughout the city where jesus was believed to happen more and celebrating proud. it was last year christmas celebrations, all across the west bank have been officially canceled with what is happening in guys, the palestinians here say they do not feel like it's time for facilities in downtown bethlehem where they usually hand and the strings of christmas lights. the workers pull up a band or a reminder of tragedy and folding in the palestinian and clave is antoine, son of mine is bethlehem's form and they are here. we cause same decisions were made at least twice during both and default as 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,
6:10 am
i've bought over the palestinian, the people and we, i'm not the so the so and so did that. it was dollars of we are still 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 nativity on the rubble. there's nothing that they wouldn't be shown as bombarded by the is the alien 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 does a strip. nowadays, the people, the families of taking their kids to assess a place to protect them from the is that are in occupation. christmas is usually high season in bethlehem with crowds of children,
6:11 am
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 sort of the kind of standing jeanetta. 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 of back to the industries tories themselves . souvenir production have lost the source of income. if you go to the social media, you see posts, 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
6:12 am
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 gates shot the 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 our 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 benefits of jesus. so that's gives us more hope religious ceremonies and introduce our traditions remain intact during this dark christmas. even though they usually packed the churches are far from being so right now, a church backyard is the only place where we found some decorations and answer as
6:13 am
to how the religious community sees the conflicts between israel and thomas. the church is always against the violence judge that the sin, that's not the sense, but also we can not generalize. if upon the philistine in order 5 to visit alien mick 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? uh, we pray and this christmas for the peace and the to eliminate the mind that the have to for 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 rarely soldiers will die before the long awaited peace. well, this is not the 1st time that's best. let him and all of palestine. i'm going
6:14 am
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 the heart shaped 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. the meantime, more than a 1000 palestinians are allegedly being killed in a field style execution during an id f rate on gaza city. but that claim has been detailed by the geneva based human rights watched old bureau made which published. i would miss tested by 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 by 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 rally, forces was stationed outside the house. well,
6:15 am
this is joking testimony from the your a made human rights organization. we have to say that it hasn't been independently verified at this stage. now they've spoken to a number of eye witnesses for all my number of families that have been displaced in garza to say that the sultan's and the husbands, that relatives with shots in cold blood by the way, the defense force. now, according to the survivors and to the eye witnesses, some 16 men were rounded up, split medicaid, and then shots in front of them. oh, those have been severely wounded. they were many a story women and children would look to the room. apparently miss oliver throw some of those injuries include amputations, an elderly published in the amount has been taken away by is why the soul 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,
6:16 am
including my husband and my brother's 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 inform 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 execution side, and the is rating. so just opening finding people's homes in discriminant lee and the assignment what these 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 of the targeting, the not posing a sweat, these are on, on so many. and so you are my deciding that this is evidence of revenge attacks,
6:17 am
which of course is a violation of international law. they're also signing but a palace to be as civilians are being targeted, was that moving between husbands because of the displacement. so we receive testimonies of killings of thousands of civilians in the streets and homes showed by the way we all miss night posts or targeted by israeli artillery shells. while the bodies were dumped in the streets and they passed without them being recalled. it's these killings and field executions. all one of the types of hieroglyphic while a sense 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 that now the your 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,
6:18 am
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 was, 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 crimes committed. find these way, the defense fulls, of course, many of describing what's happening in gaza as a a genocide. the auntie has requested comment from both the i d f. and you're a med, i both have yet to respond. i sure think it's to africa now with the nigerian government has announced that the country's biggest crude refinery will soon be
6:19 am
reopened. it's the following repairs. according to officials are firing out the facility will have with a big number of problems in the countries, including for example, just the sky high fuel prices. we'll have this report open out to local correspondent timothy will be the offer to stop by producer nigeria has 4 refineries with a combined out speed of $450000.00 barrels of crude or per day. but for g years, these refineries have been marked, but leaving the country heavily dependent on imports to meet its energy needs. this week the government announced the mechanical completion and the flare start off of one of the refineries in solving river state with a capacity of 60000 barrels. a friday said the facility will commence operations in january for jeers and i, jerry has prioritized local production of petroleum products, but reaching that goal has appeared elusive to completion. comes 3 years after
6:20 am
nigeria awarded a $1500000000.00 contracts. so it least secondly month company, but the announcement has triggered mixed reactions. so according to the report by pointing is because you will find out they are saying that they refund her. those are for the start production. exactly, sometime in the 1st week of july or after the time, but that last thing, it's proud of christmas. an indication that something is not right about it. the weird things on the west button that's under asked if i should come on the stream. the products are valuable in the savings announced, i think, does it kind of things and i'm looking forward to, but then it's too early to, you know, wish away. and the problem is, isn't meant by this government because it's best to go 1st here. let's see how it goes. well then there's not a traveling news on tuesday, the petroleum running out the pipes and running into business times. and several times i've heard about that on our own right. maintenance. what are your fund or is i'm promises that will come on stream. i don't know, i find it really hard to be impressed by anything. the presence of the past governments have been doing close time and time again. the have really disappointed
6:21 am
us in so many different ways. the government promised to fix all my tear and refineries, subsequently including another $150000.00 barrels capacity refinery. expect that to be completed by the end of 2024. local refining is expected to make feel more affordable, and certain nigeria, antoinette, ex parte or petroleum products. fuel prices have marvin tripled since president product suitable one box on board economy performs scraps, the expensive fuel subsidy. authority said millions of dollars saved from the scheme will be used for projects across all the sectors including education and health care. but for the removal of fuels subsidy has increased the cost of living and reduced for chasing power of the citizens. also, nigeria, as inflation, has been rising steadily. so my boot a residence a hopeful for a change while designated developments for nigeria and so should be proud of us. so
6:22 am
because my jobs saved about $4000000000.00, andy, but there's no flow because last day we spent about that's in what they sell for. but now we'll be saving. that's that nice wooden bench. and also the nice improvement for andrea and your approach is like our refining the on products, you know, we for discrete always. busy way can we find out where they require an open will be able to, i am, have this um, products available readily available, just have any mobile originally available because we are now in total control over the products that we refrain. and that sometimes it varies with plus what analysts award nigeria has spent an estimated $25000000000.00 in the past 10 years fixing refineries. additive say lack of political will and corruption contributions to delays. but nigeria is also struggling with jackets long, far as that's a fraction or allows you. material is sticking to produce $1800000.00 barrels of who do i have per day next year, instead of 1.5,
6:23 am
your month for like 0 by effects in a bid to supply, se phones refineries and the new refinery owned by my to run. so near a legal band with a tennessee abuse or archie i moved to nigeria ever thought about taking a small trip to iran because now might be the time a tyrone is introducing a visa of free policy for 33 countries. we're talking about a combined population over a 1000000000 and a half people, including india, saudi arabia, and a number of african nations to the arctic correspondent use of july. as details on has introduced a visa waiver for travelers from 30 free software. it gives you all the tourism industry, boasting for as long as you've been affected by the time. so for some sections on several over the past 5 years is the longest and most diverse list of new visa free

6:26 am
without the need to get visas. or pay money, and this is a 2 way system adopted by both sides. coy shot is the only western allied european nation that appears on the new visa exemption west. the number of european travelers to yvonne has dropped from a peak of 40002016 to just a few 1000 per year. just the us. we stated sections of the it wrong. i pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018. so many the when it comes to europe, it is the story of sanctions that have been in place in the past as well. we have not been connected to the global banking network, credit card and master card systems. a european tourist is not able to book a hotel in iran. this was the case back in 2010, 2009 in 2017 as well. but what happens after the reinstatement of sanctions was that the u. s. and some european governments issued notices for their citizens
