7:02 am
that are many associated initiatives out there might be making fluids in the mass. i that's the get see or rice or, and then some the mention. so, you know, so we try to ensure that you have enough of that every day with a lie or things like days. uh like a cheese to keep us warm. but it's just plugged in like notified. we've also of every day we have volunteers finds resets for the wants of throughout the neighborhood yet. and in addition to that, the new season has that i've had many of us are sick and we're just trying to make it through the hospital is a very big medical complex 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,
7:03 am
chairs and their families. that are also many refugees pulls out. this is a very, very packed area. you have about 55000 c for the process in a very small. we've posted here the sound of the s bikes. the sound goes from the spy and get a bit on some of us. we thought we every like the tanks, have it as close as them a 150 meters. i think there's really no idea uh military forces with off hospital before they would do personally when i was in the city a couple of times, the things that i text me right away, bombs with the old strikes and nobody at a stage, there is no place save a lot of us, but that itself was from the couple of slides this week with the uh you know, really for the website and see if apollo sign refugees in the near east has a little taking issue with the is really cool for people to evacuate. from the southern parts of guys are pointing out,
7:04 am
there's basically now no safe place left to people in goal is there are people, they don't pieces on the check. a board many have already been displaced several times. these really all me just oldest people to move into areas where they are ongoing as strikes. no place is safe, no way to go. and of course the casualties contingent about each and every day. the number of operational hospitals, as well as the medical stuff needed to run them, is severely on the decline. the all acts, the hospital and central guys are just one of those on the immense pressure and officer. and the idea of strike locals was searching through the rubble for the device. so at least as we understand 40 people report, lee killed and attacks on central gaza saturday night. open out to our sister, china, all the arabic with this report from the o. x. the whole of the we are here and locks the hospital, a medical facility that has been badly damaged. so many people are coming here because of b as rarely, rates which target civilians. in particular,
7:05 am
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 who was dr. sammy all had top. the head of the emergency room had all locks to the hospital. he will show us what sort of condition the victims already when they are brought here. let people sleep a lot of doctors due to the ongoing conflict, a large number of casualties are being brought here to all walks the hospital 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 leg is broken or someone experiencing abdominal, bloating. 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 patients are coming to us with different diseases and multiple injuries. and
7:06 am
this creates a major obstacle for us in treatments or surgery. in addition, there is a huge number of cases coming in, and this creates a serious obstacle. so things are definitely difficult. so 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 of the 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 you're going to philadelphia could after you have that. thank you, dr. nothing here in all. ok. so hospitals operating theatre. there was a serious shortage of medicine and necessary equipment. as the military operation continues. the situation and gaza is becoming increasingly difficult to manage.
7:07 am
well, how many of us are our t garza? but it doesn't mean time that he will. i never really sidewalks agency for palestine. refugees in the near east has a 2nd issue with he is really cool for people to evacuate from pallets of stuff and gossip, basically pointing out right now there's no safe place left to go people and goes, there are people that don't pieces on the checkerboard. 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. while am i calling? this has to be a tyler discussed documented here in crisis, in ga. so with the spokes person for the international committee of the red cross interest i really think that the civilians in thought they would say that there is no safe 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 from student security. all they say
7:08 am
from the comp codes, whether it's early decreasing in temperature, or they say when they, when they and hospitals to get treatment, that people don't have the resources. or it really is such a devastating situation. and up to 2 and a half months of constant explosions. and as we just heard, people being displaced multiple times, i really don't feel that any civilian and got to say that there is a safe place. how difficult, how dangerous is it for a while? cuz who are trying to do that job right now in the gaza strip. so right now i can speak up what ask you the intentional committee of the red cross. we are finding it very difficult to read around. the security guarantees on the bed 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 who be impacted by is out of teams that just door
7:09 am
and feel like there is based off what you minutes hurting what to take place right now. of course they all working evenings at places like hospitals in the southern area, but places like the doors have been very challenging for teams to get see. i mean, we do know that there are still civilians that israel has suggested that it's possible to allow 3 times more aids trucks into garza. i'm what are your thoughts on on was and thoughts and off, we really welcome it. any increase in a, any increase in this applies cause the interim dog off because really the front was and then need say, ok, so immense. this sort 5 ranging just things like disposable income, zillow's, he found out very quickly being on things like god. since the children flooring tablets to purify board top hospital beds, a very large range of supplies is needed. but we would also like to use arrays that
7:10 am
the guarantees of safety to be able to actively distribute these types of aid is also needed. now we do have a lot of a coming to the district, but we con, affectively distribute this to the people who needed it. unfortunately, we have an impact. and so we know anything about the remaining hostages, who up is for the families that desperately want them home. doesn't look like they should have any contact with them because that was an issue at one point. we are still calling for our access to the hostages, so that we can do exactly as you said, check on their wellbeing. and so they receive a medical treatment that is required and very important re, re establish the contact with their family members. we work closely both in facilitating the release of a 109 hostages now, and we are incredibly relieved that we are able to to take policy not but we do know that there are still hostages. con beheld esau and we are continuing to
7:11 am
request to so that they can be re united with the families. meanwhile, in a positive development, united nations has over seen the delivery of humanitarian aid to gaza. this via 8 secondary check point opened as we understand by israel. i look report, it brought me above and was there was a board at the state of supplies, basically being passed straight into the ex. behind me, you can see a convoy of 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 you ins, world food program that deliver 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 come us. unfortunately they're over 2000000 palestinian citizens who
7:12 am
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 the gaza with united nations personnel living there were distributed. it is reported that is really prime minister of benjamin. it's a, you know, isn't a favor of this initiative, provided that the ships are vetted at the port of the parcher to make sure no weapons are being smuggled the board. if so, this will be another target on prime minister. netanyahu was back by his right and we coalition were many members of his government, one, no 8 at all to enter into the strip and they are threatening to bring down the government. this is robbie berman reporting from a car on show on border crossing for our tea with christmas less than 24 hours away . the traditional festive day has been all but officially can sold in the west bank . so local is way of showing solidarity with that fellow palestinians who remain
7:13 am
under icons to the state of bombardment and gaza over now it's what middle east bureau chief who picks up this a beautiful and decorated 3 in the middle of bethlehem and the spirit of christmas throughout the city where jesus was believe, to have been born of celebrating proud, it was last year. this year, christmas celebrations all across the west bank have been officially cancel with what is happening in guys of palestinians here. say they do not feel like it's time for, for civil to in downtown bethlehem where they usually hang endless strings of christmas lights. the workers pull up a bed or a reminder of tragedy and folding in the palestinian enclave. antoine, son of mine is bethlehem's form. i may or can we cause same decisions were made at least twice during both in default as violence palestinian mass uprisings against israel. and it is not it's about so the diary t we are and both of them or in jerusalem or in my lovely,
7:14 am
i've bought over the palestinian, the people and we, i'm not the sort of the so and so did that. it was dollars of we are still have the same stuff inc, and we have the, the same could i. and 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 vision mary? carry out him to run away 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 that this 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
7:15 am
high season in bethlehem with crowds of tearing 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 asked for has changed everything. the financial losses for the city, which mainly depends on tourism a tremendous every day, every single day. we lose $1000.00 us dollars because of the war because of the absence of tourism. kind of starting in gen of losing 2500000 a day. second, budget from the tours ministry says the biggest challenge is that the workers, thousands of them involved in all those affected industries. tories themselves souvenir production have lost the source of income. if you go to the social media, you see posts, people asking for have full financial help for financial support, which is the 1st time that i see such kind of such kind of messages going from uh
7:16 am
from inside a lot of houses. um, how about 5 minutes 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 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 benefits of jesus. so that's gives us more hope religious sacrament is and introduce all 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 answers to
7:17 am
how their religious communities seized. the conflicts between israel and thomas, the church was always against the violence judge that the same, that's not the same. but also we cannot jeanetta lice if a part of philistine in or 5 to visit alien mic violence. you cannot say both, but a scene is violent and all is really in spite of violence. father rami says human history has always seemed dark and wide pages. prayers these here he tells me, will all be about wisdom and the will to make the right choices. what is the solution? uh, we pray in this christmas for the peace and the to eliminate the mind that the have . so for the leaders of the word, so they will save the humanity and that says that 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
7:18 am
crisis is by far the most painful and hard breaking. but as always, especially during christmas, the ra hopes here that the hard shapes like the ones of the past, will be overcome and the light will shine through the darkness. reason, ocean, all the reporting from bethlehem and merry christmas. well meantime, more than a 1000 palestinians of allegedly being killed in a field style execution during an id a freight you don't. gas a safety now that claim has been detailed by the geneva based human rights watch dog, euro med, which published 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 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,
7:19 am
this is joking, test somebody from the euro made human rights organization. we have to say that it hasn't been independently verified this days. 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 were shot in cold blood by the way, the defense fools 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 story 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 ready to be sold just, or there's a saying that they would deliberately targeted despite indicating that they didn't pose a threat. army forces rated the building detained, the young man forced them to take off their clothes, shot them in front of us,
7:20 am
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 and 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 a med says it was, is receiving an increasing number of testimonies. outlining these 2 monetary reunites falsities, including field execution side and the is rating. 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 of the targeting, the not posing a sweat, these are on, on so many. and so you're my deciding that this is evidence of revenge attacks,
7:21 am
which of course is a violation of international law. they're also saying that a palace to be as civilians are being targeted, was that moving between husbands because of the displacement as we receive testimonies of killings of thousands of civilians in the streets. and holes 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 hieroglyphic 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
7:22 am
those groups? well, the families and the survivors have appealed to the international committee of the red cross to evacuate them to save their lives. 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 right, which it says has a duty as an occupying power to provide medical aid and assistance. and you are ladies coding 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 to. let's hope to hear it has launched stripes against the coast on workers policy. it's according to the tuckers, defense ministry. as we understand,
7:23 am
it comes off the death of 12 tucker soldiers in northern iraq over just the last 2 days. best buy more right now. fucking lots, a lot, correspondent adjustment. i can joining us now live from favorite. good to see you . yes. and what can you tell us about, i guess these latest tensions between the p k. k and the turkish army. the robbery over the course of the last few hours, the turkish intelligence has actually provided us an update on the latest developments based on the statements. the direction military has neutralized or killed the p k. k affiliated. why p, jeez, i know our director called named buffalo's offering of this operation was carried out in syria. but the clashes, which in which resulted in the deaths of roughly 12 soldiers happened in iraq, which is within the scope of the church military as part of operation club. but just looking at some of the developments, it suggests that the peak it attacked the military outposts in northern iraq and
7:24 am
preliminary report suggests that poor weather conditions and low visibility gig the peak a favorable enough conditions to carry out these attacks. and as a result of clashes on the 23rd of december, which resulted in the death of 6 circus soldiers, 13 be containment legends were killed in response to the clashes. but one thing that is also important is this is significant for turkey as a whole because the death of 12 soldiers as part of this operation suggests that about a 10th of these casualties have been essentially reported over the course of the last few days. whereas roughly 125, the target security personnel had been killed since the start of operation call in may of 2019. so over the course of the last 5 years, the last few days have resulted in a 10th of its casualties, which really gives us a bit of an insights into how the church military or how anchor is going to respond . most importantly, the administer of national defense of georgia. yes. all good. i says that in
7:25 am
response to this, since the new year, 2156 terrorists have been killed since the new. this is a quote or they have been neutralized neutralized, meaning that militants have either been killed in action or they have been arrested or apprehended as part of these operations. but one thing that is also interesting is minister. good. i went on to say the following. he said that operations will continue with an uninterrupted approach with increasing violence and pressure pressure against the p j. k, particularly until the bloody terrace disappear from this geography. but the most important thing about his statement was this. he says, no matter who supports them, this offers new insights into how long to the proceeds the sweat of the p k. k. now, the tension between turkey and the p ticket has been a decades long issue. however, the united states has been in a position to support the p k. k or affiliated groups within the region. something that uncle has been quite vocal about, and this statement in and of itself suggests that the uncle is in a position to consider the support to the p k. k as hostile as well,
7:26 am
particularly at a time when encore is expected to pass a bill in parliament, either voting in favor or opposition of sweden joining nato. there's a great deal of tension in that respect. similarly, a great deal of attention between the united states and turkey. so as much as these attacks continue, that tension will only increase gradually or to a point that's negotiations will not become a matter of possibilities or realities for the most part. but it's going to be interesting to see how these developments continue and whether or not this will represent or form a different approach, whether the tensions or the classes between church and the peak it will increase. but it seems that just based on the scope of these operations, mainly focusing on northern iraq, but also carrying off into northern sylvia, particularly ne, in this area where the y, p g supported by the united states will be a great deal of tension as we move forward so it's going to be interesting just how these developments results, particularly towards the end of this year and the new year. very well setting data
7:27 am
onto correspondent. yes, i can appreciate that. thank you. well, that's just to be a wrap it up for now. here. what else you international though, it's already turned into a very busy day this sunday, just about half past 3 in the afternoon. a lot of your top story still to come. when we were time the
7:28 am
appeal had given a as many in the west without you as being a foolish and wasteful enterprise. instead of the building our domestic societies, we have to, i turn the post based model externally, which of course states to be with no success which is linked to this conflict and relate to the 2nd como, the the slow, the vocal when you come home like that so when you lose this is yeah, the silver with there is a couple of stuff they figured out on the puzzle from apartment to come. sunday must spend the bush with the soldiers switched and spoke. sure. now that's my goal is to accomplish assessment. so why don't you also think us luck on model. ok,
7:29 am
so you need when you, when you from the last time you know so much difficulties in the middle. when you put the stuff ready for the middle one going to do a 60 percent of interest life interest. you must given another i may just do it that way. let's see. uh lets me do this for me too much with this done. i'm does i prefer to have more? lucy's will so. so be, so we're just at the end up now we see both lashawn motion openly come on. you saying we're off this off to february the 14. so the front line was in style mates 20 kilometers from the shield of good. the gym and surrounded the cavalry. cool on the planet, advanced towards stone and was fortunate. they were ordered to retreat. companies to come the me to mitchell is tamia station say that but we need to go bottom. we're going to love you chose to some of those or show them again. so the info for, for the calories break through in february was
7:30 am
very difficult. they were low, one, i mean nation, and had to fight with sabres and hand to hand combat. they face not only enemy infantry, but also tanks. nonetheless, the cover and lubricant several villages within a week. and by 6 digit security, these categories you see about co, honestly, is definitely more about that. the bill of $32.00. he will work out if you would say, nina, you wouldn't be the see about that goal frame. what else to do must weigh myself and go other stuff. i think it's a lot of us to, but to me, that's all. it was easy. that's how long you're going to stop. the latest i'm is coming to you and you is just the one of those to you. i mean we're going to be less than ours. it's nice and easy but.
