line for almost 0. this is on the my name is ross. i'm. i'm in 30 minutes of news and views start. now. welcome to the weekly and already to does, where are you in a look at his file anywhere among the more than $200.00 persons or died off out of the in the and the attack on gaza city that's according to the local souls. is me while fighting is broken out in fun, eunice in the stuff. it was a bustling town destruction and empty streets and now o. but slapped according to gyptian media, 25 percent of the homes there are considered uninhabitable journalist. i'm also schumann, as the latest person, the everything is the front of a together to as many of the people here in boss of us because i'm living in a temporary sense. and every day we try to provide a face of these one who means that ottoman associated initiatives out there might

be some meters fluids in the mouth. either forget the 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 rely on things like days like it used to keep us warm. but it's just fun to like us to find the water every day. we have volunteers. 52643 with us throughout the neighborhood yet. and in addition to that, the new season has, i've had 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 these and long term patients and their families that are also many refugees was out. it's a very, very packed area. you have around 55000 feet 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 a very like the times have it as close as from a 150 meters. i think there's really no idea. i mean, the city forces with off hospital before they would do cindy. when i was advising cities a couple of times, the things that i text me or when moms with the old strikes, had no idea to save that as normally save a lot of off with itself for the couple of slides this week. as casualties continue to mount every day, the number of functioning hospitals as well as the medical stuff needed to run them is decreasing. the central city of the out by law is no exception. as health care personnel, under intense pressure. also an idea of

a cycle levels search for survivors in the rubble, at least full t people of reportedly being killed in attacks on central garza, on saturday night of this account of the arabic as the support on the outlook. so we're here in outlook, so hospital, a medical facilities that has been badly damaged. so many people are coming here because of b is 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 who was dr. sammy all had top. the head of the emergency room had all locks to the hospital. you will show us what sort of condition the victims are ended up when they are brought here. let people say a lot of doctors due to the ongoing conflict, a large number of casualties are being brought here to all watch the hospital with

limited facilities. how do you help the injured brought to you last time? and frankly speaking, it is difficult to deal with because we're not seeing cases, we're only a lag 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 disease is multiple injuries. and 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 to give heads up. so i mean that was 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, she's going to philadelphia kolowski has a thank you, dr. nothing here and all. ok, so hospitals operating theatre. there was a serious shortage of medicine and necessary equipments. as the military operation continues, the situation and gaza is becoming increasingly difficult to manage. well, how many of us are r t gaza? as is, a lot of offices is ground operations in does a many policy and sheltering refugee camps have had to flee from those areas. local does, rama. i'll move out a report from that. i'll buy in central gaza when numerous displaced policies have ended up. we should one, use some of the following images, maybe to 7 is actually that situation here on the ground is getting tens our by our, as the is really true and is where a, the army has older residents offer their age. or if we can,

to leave the can to dated by the town and west when video goes, that's correct. and the coast of guilford by that they have to leave repeat, you can now populated by populated by thousands by many thousands of people, especially those who have been displaced over that. so the situation is getting tens and people here are projecting things to get much worse. and the upcoming hours, as just stated by some of the residential for the weekend of labor. 8 that the day of the award to leave the repeat you can until this afternoon or 2 days after that is the situation in general. and the gaza strip with more is what 80 hours spikes and more is really attempts to invade jet. the different boats of

garza or the other side that have been reported. it has been reported. some at leverages of recruits, fired from gaza angels, nearby is what areas and even at in the park deeper into is around some folks. so please read, have been hit by the follow state in a row kits. lowest may lead as declared by the how much a party and, and the 2 or 3 that so far. oh, so there is no, there was no, any fruits of any political efforts being made by different spots. a fucked is to was seizing fire and finding a solution or a break is real close this very, i'd appreciate it. the situation of was of is ready to walk on the gaza strip from me as we very r t. i. lots of mazda is hospital and the middle garza trip south of gary bella is ready to long to that residence in some areas of $7.00. a relocate have drawn

criticism from the un relief and was agency for palestine refugees and then the race highlighting the fine, but there is no s safe left to the people in goal is there are people that 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. my colleague assess yes, hey, to discuss the matter in classes in gaza with this funds for us and for the international commence committee of red cross in jerusalem. and i really think that the civilians in dog, they would say that there is not a 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 food insecurity, all they say from the cold weather it's only decreasing in temperature. all they

say when they, when they and those to get treatment that people, they have the resources for. it really is such a devastating situation and up to 2 and a half months of constant explosions. and as we just heard, people be displaced multiple times. i really don't feel that any civilian and gotta 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 what 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 who be impacted by is out of teams that 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 don't have being very challenging for teams to get to. i mean, we do know that there are still civilians that israel has suggested that it's possible to allow 3 times more a trucks into garza. i'm, what are your thoughts on, on what the thoughts and off we really welcome at any increase in a, any increase in the supply the cost, the answering dollars off because really the problems. and then me say ok so immense. this sort 5 ranging things like disposable income facilities out very quickly being on the why. so i sense the to re, tablets, to purify. we'll talk hospital bed. a very large range of, of supplies is needed. but we would also like to use arrays that guarantees of

safety to be able to effectively distribute these type of aid 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 needed it. unfortunately, why haven't you packed 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. we all still calling for our access to the stages so that we can do exactly as you said, check on the wellbeing. and so they receive any medical treatment that is required . and very importantly, re establish the close has with their family methods. we work with the bone in facilitating the release of a 109 hostages now, and we are incredibly relieved that we are able to take policy not. but we do know that there are still hostages time details esau and we are continuing to request to

so that they can be for united families. but this auction of gaza has for outpaced advice of any of the will. this center that's according to the assessment by the washington post. it says that twice as many building were destroyed in 2 months of idea of a tax on garza. and during 3 years of fighting in the city and city of a level. so the evidence shows that israel has carried down it's war and gas at the base and level of the devastation that's likely exceeds annual, re some conflict destroying more buildings in for less time. than will discharge you in the syrian regimes battle for laptop from 2015 to 2016. according to the review, 37 files and instructions in gaza have sustained damage of those almost one 3rd, but totally destroyed over 29000 dash likes also being carried out by is very true

. this is the compet began in the october. this includes miss all the soles, nit medical facilities, according to satellite imagery, sighted by the washington. but is the crates as opposed to 17 hospitals in the area . it is activated that in the last 2 months is well, has dropped as many buttons on gaza as the united states, as i live on each to on iraq throughout the pools of a whole year during the 2 $1003.00 will be served with construction specialist off man, yeah, he says the adf will continue. bullying goes up until the war is stopped. or just as of this list, dental's more than 80 percent of the police. and you can see that certainly military's now can bump disease homes and these structures without any consultation . so slight this rate is, is keeping to increase and i think it would be and responding to it was being case at the end of the conflict, surely is a human soul is in

a kind of kind of ability to attempt to calculate human costs in, in the numbers, but in terms of is a building. the initial estimate estimate for a is a building goals as a is now about $50000000000.00 is used the dollars. and you can imagine is that 8. so not only about the cost, it's also about to time. and from my perspective, from my construction perspective, it looks at least one year to well, it's just one building and to finish it. so can you imagine like c deals, 365 kilometers? probably it has been destroyed very well in a positive development of the united nations has over seen the delivery of humanitarian aid to gaza via a secondary check point open. why is a low, what was that really button? was the water to see the supplies passing the english 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 $46.00 trucks bringing more than $750.00 tons of goods. it was part of the u as world food program. they 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 would come off. unfortunately, 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 provider 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 and now it was back by his right and we coalition were many members of his government want no aid at all to enter into the strip and they are threatening to bring down the governments. this is robbie berman reporting from the car on show on border crossing for our tea and the spine quiz. this has been a sudden shooting cancelled as a whole. the tools closer. this is the residence way of expressing support for this kind of pass in. so well being bombarded in garza all to the middle east. a bureau chief motive from us now picks up the story, 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 have been born of celebrating proud. h was last year this year christmas celebration is all across the west bank. have been

officially cancelled 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 hank and the strings of christmas lights. the workers pull up a pen or a reminder of tragedy and folding in the palestinian and clay. so antoine, son of mine, is best the hens for me, 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 in both of them or in jerusalem or in my love we, i've bought over the past in the people and we, i'm not the sort of a 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 where 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 as the alien aircraft. we are showing baby jesus. why vision 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 asked 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 dollars because of the war because of the

absence of tourism kind of started in 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 and 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 post people asking for how for the financial help for financial support, which is the 1st time that i see such kind of such kind of messages going from uh from inside a lot of houses. um, how about 5 minutes an hour community 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 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 benefits of jesus. so that's gives us more whole religious ceremonies and introduce all traditions remain intact. you're in 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 to how the religious community sees the conflicts between israel and thomas. the church was always against the violence judge that the same that's not the same as, but also we can not generalize. if applied to a fellow staying in or 5 to visit any 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 seen 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 pay in 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 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 the reporting from bethlehem and merry christmas

a. i the over in a wrought as christians around the world offer pattern to celebrate christmas. iran is no exception. this is why the country being done one of the most them onto is use of the bins as mark and have christians in iran on guessing what needs them off . one of the most widely recognized holidays of the holiday season and half a costless lives can be felt everywhere. even any law which has a pre dominance lee most the nation, every year ahead of christmas, best neighborhood in downtown to hong gets john sack with question was a rush of the top washer of items to celebrate civils of jesus. here's what she wants. he's preaching central to why is it hot spots for christmas shopping, attracting the small number, of course trends from the 4 corners of the city, from the toiletries. and that's a very seems to snow globes. think candy canes. everything is set for perfect christmas. merry christmas and happy new year. i wish it was full of friendship and

peaceful old people. i congratulate you on christmas and the christian new year. i hope that the new year will be full of joy and good wishes for the decorations, and many of the stores here combined elements from yelder and christmas. and i love it in the sense that it is a combination of iranian and christian traditions. it's full of good vibes here every year on christmas and bonnie dresses off of santa and walks around handing presents the kids and taking so please with families. he says, why don't questions or i'm in already in a box. they're not the only ones celebrating the location, which i'm happy that our fellow uranium must from citizens or celebrate from this facility with us. a radiance of always stood by our side the same way as we have celebrated their festivals, like no bruce and the religious ceremonies around 200000 christians, live in avon, mainly of armenia and a syrian origins. the majority of the christians and the country, or armenians who follow the oriental orthodox branch of christianity,

and want to norman, you celebrate christmas on january 6th instead of december 25th. but they love to start the sensitivities along with their fellow questions around the world. every year about sports and cultural complex, which is especially built for the armenian community, anyone who organizes different events to celebrate christmas. so we have the army of christmas, which is a little bit different, especially as far as the data is concerned, to which the uh, christmas of most of the christian communities. we celebrate the christmas on january 6th. and this is mainly based on the difference of the calendars. i mean there, there is the old calendar, and there is the new calendar. armenians are known to be the 1st nation to accept the christianity. and from there on always the christmas for armenians has been on january 6th from the western runs. it won't explain to it as

a country that's intolerant towards what is just minorities, depriving them of the why to freedom of religion, employment, and so forth. what do we can see that stereotype shatter when we take a look at the questions in the nation? there are 600 active charges around the country. what, what other services are held regular christians along with practitioners of other monotheistic face, such as judaism as the last 3 of them are recognized either on the constitution as official or religious minorities. interestingly enough, each one of them has their own representative. anyone in parliament right now we have as our meals, we have 2 representatives and the parliament according to constitution of the room . the religious minorities have the right to have their own religious rituals, religious ceremonies, and v, as armenians also have. that's right. we have our own schools,

we have our own associations, and we celebrate our national as well as religious ceremonies and special days based on our own traditions. we also have the privilege of having our own schools, the armenian schools, where our language is being taught, and our religion is being taught to our kids. but even if we don't wanna, i mean if a family doesn't wish to send their kids to an armenian school, they can, right? everyone else send the kids to any other school. whether that's a government school or a private school or whatever, concerns make of less than one percent otherwise population. well, the 1st of outcomes for your during christmas extends beyond the community. in fact, many of these people are not christians. what's most times i've come to share in the joy and happiness of the holiday spirit with their fellow citizens. what's your

request most and happy new year. for 44 r t, i'm use of generally from the, the know the east africa nation of easier, but it has been built in time on the nile river. but egypt says could cut a cut of faithful flows of faithful to, to that country. both of those nations have been training blame for breakdown in negotiations over the but it all to correspondent another who cougar explains among the complications of the long disagreements between egypt, ethiopia, and sudan over the grad if the open renaissance them on denial is that everyone involved has legitimate concerns, the dispute over the project is part of the long standing feud between downstream nations, egypt and sudan, and those up stream, particularly if the ot us what access to the knobs water, which is considered a lifeline for millions of people living in egypt and sedan?

yep, yes, the purpose of the data is electricity production to re live it the o. p as acute image and show temperature. but egypt which a radius stuff was for more to schools to teach them is considered a metal life. and at the same time, if he has a surcharge, it's right to use water. that's a versus it's cubic feet saying that it isn't applied to the go see age. would any one and accuse this is to things a colonial mind states to negotiations on the operation of the day. it has historical precedent as treating the knowledge as a phone from treaties within colonial pow wow. great britain as well as to den, to direct submitted to threats against it the okay. yeah. if you continues to reject the age of threatening tone, but is it took me into pursuing and hostile attitude to a regional issue, or is it a frantic efforts to preserve its water supply because it just escalated this quote

to the international community to get involved at some point with the united states threatening to withhold development aid to see if the dispute is not resolved as an agreement reached beyond the escalates attentions and the complexity of politics among the now countries. a key concern for the continent to full time and electrical power to things that africa needs the most, many of pain they hold some power to innovation. and to kind of make developments when it continues to feel the down the top with us as one of the hawks of many on the african continent. stating that the project is not just the damn to generate electricity, is rather a development that will once again bring back the reaches glorious history, all the while egypt saves the move, is a violation of international laws and norms that regulate projects, bolts on the shade basis of international rivers including the 9, what is kids that it is not a race between countries most.
