2:08 pm
up. the war is in full swing. we are fighting on all fronts with great success, but we are also paying a painful price. achieving victory requires more time. as the chief of staff has said this week, the war will continue for many more months. my policy is clear. we will fight until the completion of all the objectives of the war and above all, the elimination of from us and the release of all these really hostages. meanwhile, in southern ga, so the idea says is rated. how about headquarters in the city of con units is the claims of students he belongs to. the minutes in groups intelligence, chief of the regions, largest city has become an area of incense fighting up to israel, extended his minutes operation. many locals have been forced to flee, and while his that's a reason to celebrate the inc telling you, these is all some palestinians have said about their wishes for next year. so let's

2:10 pm
also from the hospital to advance into the area. they have been kind of getting different. the place has been choosing from units of could you come that off of which slides us police to what, what i saw on, on most top of which i suspect and there were many of the displays people attend, the fire could be hit to out the whole night, but it doesn't feel like up to this particular moment that isn't as gaining apprehend as they have been describing. it doesn't have been a cubing. great thing in the sense of the military perspective. it looks like they have been continuing to buy the same policy or targeting civilians. the starting to entrust upsets and houses and glen knights of innocent civilians who are giving them the whole people them to do on its own people and goes out and get an order was a mistake. they understand that they had been subject to to that because of the patient and they home to patient was comfortable and it's very difficult to be optimistic fucking guy that i can can do that. people are extreme, the human body. so thought
2:11 pm
a send you refugee says one of the gaza is just weeks away from a must farming as nearly half of all civilians the already set to be on the verge of starvation, the garden health ministry states and nearly 2000000 people almost think the enclaves inside population, like even the most basic necessities come out of the house, ministry warrants of a prospect of farming and behind ration of more than 1900000 displaced people collect proper accommodation, food, or medicine and safety required. i mean, what, meanwhile, an increasing number of palestinians also arriving in the southern gauze and board, a city of russia exhausted, basically to run its heavy and crisis the. now this with it shows a local school which has been converted into a makeshift shelter just one of many, hundreds of display civilians. families are forced to live in sense of the critical lot of access to even basic supplies. and the one says that is realized, we don't start seeing the distribution of humanitarian aid. so refugees and rough i
2:12 pm
spoke to us. i was asked by the stadium. we refused to accept the suffering we are currently in. during even palestinian children are rejecting the harsh reality we face the landline, we demand the reconstruction of gaza as the situation has become extremely graham and difficult to model. even children can no longer go to school or live a healthy normal life. because the key again to see what is happening in gaza today, and the current situation is much larger than during the knock about comparing the number of casualties in this war to those 2 in the knock. but the number of displaced people living gaza is much higher when people talk about displacement for one to say to resist. and none of us will be forced off this lines and you look more of sure why of sure. we can die on this land. no one will take us away from this land. i came from the giant and was done from here. we can die on this land and we will not leave palestine. was the death told of gaza approaches
2:13 pm
22000 people. malaysia's council news celebrations as an artist solidarity with the people of palestine ballpark has done his also announced a button on us a stupid things keeping in mind the seriously concerning situation in palestine and to show solidarity with our palistine and brothers and sisters. they will be strict banned by the government on the housing. any kind of event for you. yeah. how about just on your nation and then last name weld, initiate a state of anguish over the bicycle of innocent children and genocide, often non palistine yields in gaza. and the west bank, according to both malaysian and pakistani officials, the decision to cancel the celebrations is under respect to gods and suffering. the consequences of war assuming in the new year without access to basic necessities, i meant the unfolding. c minus having catastrophe, fall apart. recently impose the bottom these very flights cargo ships talking at
2:14 pm
east 4th was on the bug dispatched to 8 packages to gaza. so it's a mostly in a monster right to of the age of middle east sense. it says that the malaysian unpackaged on the decisions, it's like widespread and the events in gaza. alisha decision is with us. i just found decision, i believe, reflect the sentiment on the ground in both countries and probably across the world . there have been a huge margin over the world, especially in these 2 countries, expressing anger over the ongoing genocide taking place in gaza. and or what the international complicity and fame they have to stop is there is a tech on civilians. so the government decision in most countries is that a reflection of the sentiments, of course, of the decisions in the context of so many activities have
2:15 pm
a government and public level. the assembly decisions by different governments are not enough. it is good to force but to a more stern action needs to be taken because the scale of the must have got a huge is beyond imagination. so a symbolic, the decisions are good, but not enough to do this. moving on to other news. now the celebrated australian journalist john richard pill, joe has died at the age of $84.00. he was known as a very strong critic of american australian on british foreign policy, as well as a vocal support of julian sons. we spoke with option boots on z, who's the host of going on the ground to discuss it. he'll just like i say to the world, it's a mass of loss. we knew he was on. well, i was cars funding with him, but we didn't know it is going to have a new year's eve 2023. when he is needed by so many people we have
2:16 pm
a special going on the ground going out tomorrow. i mean, and which i call them one is a great, it's john was in a little of history. julian assigned you, needed them, a visit to them in bell marsh. maximum security prison officer is tortured by british paul, a british authorities. it's a, it's a terrible loss to a truth tellers. there's an inspiration to people all around the world and so many different languages to so many leaders that came under fire from the u. s. military industrial complex. and he knew the lies told by networks like the bbc, cnn, he was of local course, a gulf fake of journalism that is so on display today. when we look at gaza, when we look at you crane, and of course, that's why you found a i t as an outlet that he could speak to. because he was band defacto by old british media where he, he moves the officer all the awards, the one of the great films he made starting out talking about all of us. we had an
2:17 pm
ecology right through to the vietnam war to cambodia. just as the staging was to finally talking about the coming war on china, his amazing film, which would hardly even get released in cinemas, in britain and in western europe. and it's a shame, i suppose, in his last dying, daisy, sol, how debased society in western europe was as it back to a new or cost of something that has inspired him in his journalism zone. integrate reporters of the 2nd world war and war coincides just a terrible loss, i think got so many people will be so sad and, and also so sad to effect that censorship, defective censorship because they admit to people, they don't actually sage on build years. but his missing or it's to build your is a band, but even in fact, he's banned. what that took away from. he was always productive. but how much more
2:18 pm
work he could have done imagery? how many institute should it be named off to him? which on this went to real journalism doctor john is interested in journalism schools and listen, you are which basically glorified public relations. schools for nato wolf are expansionism and the banking industry. now you can see option with tons, these final interview with john pillage on one date here on oxy, during the episode of going underground delights australian journalist on. so make sure his take on the wall between israel and gossip is a virtual peek. you said the side is the issue in the last century and in this century, how does it link everything from war and peace atrocities, imperialism information to neoliberalism? will power assigned to the center of a great imperial act i made to felons called palestine and still issue $28.00 is a pot. if i may make another one,
2:19 pm
it will be cold. tell us scientists to leave true because palestine unless we understand the across, are they being imposed on palestine and the rights of people to defend themselves, the rights of people to resist against an external outside false, false. but uh uh, it becomes more extreme by the moment and i'm talking about israel. they will never understand how the world works. so it's been a whole attempt to make some of the central issue of the reporting investment on something's safe promises. uh, a peculiar team and in fact, come come off and that's military being a part of a resistance. a resistance that was provoked by these riley is the real team, and this is his israel, but it's not simply is ryle. i mean,
2:20 pm
this is as much uh, a british, an american bull. i can tell us fine as it is and is riley one the what's the void garza, they just on the humanitarian conditions that deteriorates international n g o. they're not raising the alarm of the mental health of the children forced to live in. it was the children have been exposed to limit dramatic episodes. we saw patients recovering from physical interest on some having those pamela members, that cobra strategies had been taken away from them. there was no safe place and no sense of security. it messed up. now let's go to live now to steve. so to be president of the paula stein, childrens, really fund, steve, and thanks very much for finding the time to speak to us today. i can imagine the extremely busy given comments. events. well,
2:21 pm
you're welcome. i saw your ex formulates what's the story of is it didn't know why it's around one of the many palestinian children that your charity as health. can you show history? love us please. a day abraham was a 16 year old and the gaza strip refugee. his family were descendants from where his family were, had been kicked out of what is now israel back in 1948 and in 2018, he joined thousands of other palestinian refugees in gauze and protesting peacefully at the gaza borders for the great, during the great returned marches, a sniper is really soldiers and that shot him from a very far distance in his leg. his leg was amputated. organization brought him to the united states where you had a new prostate it prosthetic legs built for him to enable him to walk and return to school and finish school. so he came got his leg was supported by the community. he came without his family, returned back home and finish school. and then we hired him to become
2:22 pm
a field worker and humanitarian aid worker. given him an opportunity in his life to have some employment prospects and to start to take care of himself. and he was quite interested in photography. so he was practicing we were training him in that field to support our communications team. and just on christmas day, while him and his family huddled together in fear, i suspect as most palestinians do at night, their home was bombed in demagogues, a refugee camp in central guys, a pioneer strike and his entire family was killed. his body remains under rubble. today, and there's no way to remove it due to the lack of heavy equipment that can remove large cement blocks. and it's just a terrible, terrible tragic i. tragedy. i knew him very well me. he was
2:23 pm
a good kid. very positive, very smiling all the time. always ready to um, to do anything he can to help even during the last few weeks when i was in touch with him, he was expressing his desire to do more on the ground there to help his people. oh, certainly a very brave young man to steve. you must have been devastated to here. always death given how much time you'd spent with him on the journey you had been through with him on his recovery. yeah, i took him back home when he was finished. i mean, we flew together, we spent a lot of time together and again, like i said, a great kid, a great attitude. i had a bright future considering he was in the gaza strip under siege and had lost his leg from a sniper. he still, i envisioned i was planning to give him as many opportunities as i possibly could to grow in the organization and, and have opportunities that he otherwise would get. so you had a good future. it is tragic and it is very sad. and he's one of 6
2:24 pm
kids that we've brought to united states for medical care over the past few years, who are being killed in the past few weeks in gaza. the day after, uh, uh, is a dean was killed. another one of our amputees who travel to to ohio for a prosthetic leg after the same thing is, is it in being shot by a sniper and having his leg amputated. he was brought to ohio around the same time that as a dean came. and he was killed a day after, as a dean with his wife and his baby. uh, in a home by mean uh and rafa um and this does take 6 of our kids that have traveled to the states for treatment has been killed in the past 2 and a half months. and guys, some, some tragic tragic stories that steve, um, was it in its all upper head and save about returning to garza and you know where he was shots, are they any? how do you like me to do as a result of that? you can imagine it was a lot of i traumatic psychological effects on him to go back to well,
2:25 pm
thanks for pointing that out that's often overlooked. when you talk about kids coming from medical care is the psychological aspect of coming to a country that has so much affluence, so much wealth, so much security for people every day in their lives, which is something that in guys that doesn't exist. and for the 1st time, you know, a 4 is a d and, and for the other kids that we bring out, they get an opportunity to experience 1st hand a life that they had no idea existing that they can't imagine living every day with freedom to go where you want and to not feel the threat of death and violence every single day. so going back home, i think you had mixed feelings because obviously, you know, you don't want to go back to an environment where life is so difficult with poverty and the restrictions and the siege, the violence around you. but he also his family was there, his friends were there was his country and he was a very proud palestinian, as you know, all the young people are in gaza. he was very proud of his country and his people
2:26 pm
and his very determined to go back and try to help build a society that was better more for the next generation. and he's a part of his legacy as well. in gaza, he must have made many friends acquaintances and colleagues while working that i'm sure he'd be remembered as a very brave young man. indeed, no. is there a sense of irony, steve? the us is one of isabel's staunchest allies. if not the stone faced, i lie so blind both financially military aid and supporting the country politically . but it's also helping me deal with the full lots of business this distorts. some of these weapons cause use charts. it is bringing children over to the us to deal with with a high risk injuries the. this is cost the injuries that are being inflicted by bombs provided by the american taxpayer. yes, i understand your question. there is a sense of irony, i guess i already wouldn't probably be the right word because it doesn't convey the
2:27 pm
human tragedy behind the lives of these children being destroyed. you know, being killed, being the amputees, having their parents killed, losing their homes, living under these horrific conditions as a result of the policies of the us government. and also then coming to this country and benefiting from the treatment that americans provide them. i guess the 3rd that would be considered ironic, but there's also and probably other more stronger words it could be used in any case. i think it symbolizes that the american people themselves are maybe not behind this score. they don't believe that killing innocent children in injuring innocent children like as a dean and others is in any way justified. and that when you go, the people who are treating our kids is not the us government. it's the american people, their private hospitals, their private doctors for extending their services on
2:28 pm
a humanitarian level to help. and i think that that shows a significant disconnect between the policies of the government and the will of the people that you'll charge. the state must be overwhelmed at the moment. um, how are you managing to deal with what must be a catastrophic influx of wounded children? it's a huge challenge. it's not just the number of children which is of course, beyond the scope of comprehension from a human point of view. it's also the challenges of logistics just getting permits for injured children to leave the gaza strip. just finding them sometimes you know, you see photos and videos of them and hospitals and then you have to locate them and try to be in contact with their families and see even if they have families left and trying to then manage their uh, exit out of gaza, so they can at least start the process of getting medical care. it's an immense task. it's a huge undertaking. it's a significant challenge, but this is what we have to do to help heal these children and repair their lives.
2:29 pm
and we're committed to this effort and will continue to do so as long as there's a need. now are you surprised that international community isn't doing more to stop the on sloth and gaza on the desk to civilians, which is now around since 2000 over the yeah, it's this tomorrow's the, the new year and we started 2024 and you know, as humans progress through time. we have in our rear view mirror, many examples of genocide and mass killings. as we see today and gaza. and we use think as we evolve as humans, we can solve problems through non violent non military measures. we can sit at a negotiating table, we can find other methods of negotiation that can result in positive outcomes without killing one percent of a country's population, which is the case in gaza. the fact that we witness more today in the modern world
2:30 pm
on social media and all the various technology tools that exist this killing every single day of over 100 children and gaza through the use of bombs and military measures. and it's been going on for nearly 3 months and nothing has changed. it is a failure of the international community. it is a failure of the rest of the world to sit and watch the killing of these poor children. you know, as 70 percent of the over 20000 dead people in gaza are women and children. and that there's been no effort to put a stop to it, at least very limited f and no success in putting a stop to it is extremely, extremely. it's criminal on the part of us is if it's our shortcomings as an international community. and we will bear for the rest of our lives, the responsibility for the lives that have been destroyed, the innocent lives that have been destroyed in the gaza strip. let's hope that the twins.
