pushed open the gates to gaza.ael open the gates to gaza to massively increase humanitarian aid. again the netanyahu government has rejected this appeal. secretary of defense austin warned the netanyahu government they must increase the amount of humanitarian aid within 30 days to comply with u.s. law. they wrote in that letter the amount of assistance in september was the lowest of any month in the last year. they laid out in this letter a whole series of horrific conditions that need to be addressed. just as they had argued for the same for the previous year. the result of that has been minimal to no action. in november a major evaluation was summarized in a letter by the principles the international standing committee these are groups with a high commissioner for human rights and unicef in andthe world food program headey cindy mccain the world health organization. these leaders have folks on the ground box of experts evaluating the situation. they recognized this the situation unfolding and north gaza is apocal

your organization treats children in gaza.what were you thoughts about those findings compared to what you actually see and what your workers and aid workers see on the ground day in and day out. were they even surprising to you based on what you have seen? >> it's tragically not surprising. because if we just look at sort of the population here. the vast majority of the population in gaza is under the age of 18. and these strikes are not despite what it is that israel says, simply targeting you know hamas fighters. you have entire buildings that come down. you have 2,000-pound bombs. you have strikes on schools where people are sheltering. you have strikes on markets. you have strikes on the camps that are housing the displaced. and when you go into the hospital, you know you see bed after bed of children who have been injured. you mentioned i was in, we met kids who had been pulled from underneath the rubble more than once. there are children who are in the icu there who's lives are not being saved because there's still this

an estimated 75,000 remaining in northern gaza. looting of humanitarian supplies is intensifying and becoming more organized and more violent. in one incident, on 16 november, a u.s. envoy comprised of 109 trucks of food supply was looted by palestinians with 97 trucks lost. on the 18th of november, over 20 people were reportedly killed by armed palestinians in operation said to be led by the gaza ministry to target humanitarian aid. the widespread killing and injury of civilians in gaza -- i also condemn the continued holding of hostages in gaza and the indiscriminate firing of rockets toward israeli populations by hamas and other palestinian armed groups which has continued this month. law and order must be restored and the level of essential goods including humanitarian assistance that has been allowed into gaza is inadequate to meet the overwhelming needs of the population. the campaign in gaza concluded having rhys over half-moon children. it demonstrates that what is possible when basic humanitarian operations and requirement

how difficult is it currently getting a into gaza? how much of that is due to his really restrictions and, and currently, what are the logistics like, what are the challenges during aid and 2 garza and excruciating lee? difficult for my own colleagues underwear and especially for my colleagues. these are the name of the face of a population that has the price of safety of food, of clean drinking, long term of medicines, of tens of power, bullying. the printer close. it is extremely difficult to be in a good work during the field responsible and feel completely hand cost. the aid going into gaza has been going in by the trickle. so with only one or 2 border crossings open and very cumbersome. logistics for screening for checking once in a convoy is it takes forever to get any aid. and also once the aid is in, on the garza side of the border crossing, there has been increased. lawlessness tells primarily driven by people feeling hungry, a best broke. and therefore, there's also now lack of 60 for the aides, con voice, the drivers and th

only an estimated 75,000 meaning in northern gaza. humanitarian aid remains a struggle and involves huge personal risk. humanitarian supplies by palestinians is intensifying and becoming more organized. in one incident on the 16th of november, u.s. envoy comprising of 109 trucks of food supplies was violently looted by palestinians with 97 trucks lost. on the 18th of november, over 20 people reportedly killed by armed palestinians to be led by the gaza ministry of interior to target humanitarian aid. i unequivocally condemn the widespread killing and injury of civilians in gaza. i also condemn the continued holding of hostages and gaza and the indiscriminate firing of rockets for israeli population centers. which has continued this month. at that point humanitarians and humanitarian envoys must be immediate. law and order must be restored and civilian populations have the same access. madam president, the level of essential good and humanitarian assistance that has been allowed into gaza is inadequate to me. the overwhelming need of t

the key to that was stepping up the aid trucks into gaza.nted to see more trucks going into gaza and we know that is nowhere near being met now. at the moment, aid agencies, u.s. agencies are saying there have been about 40 aid trucks and the situation in gaza is critical with a risk of starvation to tens of thousands of palestinians in gaza, which is still under siege. belatedly, israel has responded and today they announced more than 100 aid trucks had gone into gaza and opened up a new crossing into gaza in addition to the four they already have. it is certainly nowhere near where the u.s. said they wanted to be. that said, i think the u.s. will hold onto that as a sign of progress. if there was any threat of the u.s. withholding military aid, which is essential to israel, i don't think that is going to happen. you have to remember that the u.s. has issued warnings to israel in the. earlier in the -- in the past. earlier in the year, they said do not launch an offensive into rafa. israel went ahead and did it. the warnings from the u.s. h

engaging to bring the hostages home in gaza. pushing every single day to get aid into gaza, to the people that need it most. i mean, we have an entire central command a.o.r. which is engaging on a regular basis with their counterparts. so, no, i don't actually think there's a lack of leadership. in fact, i think this is where you're seeing u.s. leadership, you know, continue to push and to lead. and the president just wrapped up his trip overseas. the secretary is concluding his trip in the indo-pacific. you're seeing us continue to lead on the world stage. and so no. i would push back on that notion. reporter: it seems like the result of anti-semitism toward israel also. sabrina: i'm not going to speak on behalf of the court. that's not my job. i'd refer you to the court. i'm just not going to speak on behalf of the court. reporter: going back to the attack in ukraine. can you say how many missiles, irbm missiles reurk launched and -- russia launched and can you confirm reports that the miller missiles had multiple warheads? sa

with reference to gaza, it is fundamentally clear that us policy has been a failure.e been no relief, no humanitarian aid, not a scintilla of relief, not not a scintilla of relief, not not that anyone who enters because it is credible frankly or anywhere close to what is required. it was us pressure. even though they fall well below gaza and experience. there would be no hostages released. more or less, the driving force behind the hostage negotiations, that release was 100 plus hostages in november of last year. look, let's be very clear, the conflict is still going on and it suggested me something that has been driven beginning. that is with the combat itself and israel and her massive you the conflict as existential with the influence of outside parties whether the brits, the g7, the icc, the icj, the un general assembly, the us equity because, it is limited. the un is elated with their amazing red power. —— it is a tragedy, i grant you. the head of the un. he agreed to stop the stockpile of iranian nuclear powers, to succeed 50%. for more on this, i android by a p

is not only in this role, not increase the amount of ego in the gaza. as the report indicated, the amount of be going into gaza in the month of october was the lowest point since age started being delivered in october of last year. this is, as we've seen, the needs continue to grow and the fact that a less than less aid is getting in and reaching people in need. it's simply catastrophic. what does that look like on the ground? can you give us a sense of what your colleagues see when it comes to a distribution and gauze, and the people that they're meeting who need it? well, there's very little ada coming in. and so it's often chaotic seems people are trying the best that they can to deliver and distribute aid and orderly fashion. but it's incredibly difficult operating there because of the level of desperation. we're also hearing as, as we heard in the report that people say the agents i believe is useless unless there's a ceasefire because the needs will continue to grow and, and there's no relief in sight. so now we've heard also that the situation is

and are washington words of concern about the humanitarian crisis and gaza? just work. this is inside the hello and welcome to the program. i'm how much i'm june. the united nation special committee says israel's warfare methods and guys that are consistent with genocide in a new report the you and says he's real as intentionally causing the death of civilians and aid workers using starvation as a weapon of war. and inflicting collective punishment on palestinians. human rights watch says 90 percent of gods as people have been forced from their homes and a mass displacement drive that rights. groups are calling a war crime and ethnic cleansing, us issued an ultimatum to israel allow more 8 and the guys that were cut off their supply weapons. but the deadline for that has passed and tremendous. terry and organizations say the situation is only getting worse. so why doesn't the us act, and can anyone else hold as real to account? we'll tackle these issues with our experts in a moment. but 1st, this report from victoria gave me the people of darrow bonnet and central garza

or from gaza. i think this is a changing point, and this is a real opportunity for the lebanese to take their country back from iranian influence and from what is carried from malicious serious to iran to execute their regional diplomacy , executing the needsor their own people in lebanon and their own state. caitriona: i'm just seeing as we are speaking now that the u.s. president joe biden is saying that israel and lebanon have accepted the terms of this deal. that must come as a tremendous relief to you and to everyone there. mp daou: indeed. we have been waiting for this. this is a war nobody in lebanon want to come except fo hezbollah, i dropped the country into it. this is a war we wanted to avoid, because we've seen what is reall has done -- what israel has done to gaza, in terms of killing. we knew we needed to protect lebanon, as the cause has been severe on us between israeli brutality and the nonchalance of hezbollah, lebanon is payi a very heavy price in a time where the economic situat

it was 3000 calories a day entering the gaza strip. i think that is a false i and meant from y'all was not speak the truth. but even if he works for me, i have to allow 500 trucks a day here. and we know we start with. ready 500 trucks, we're entering the gaza strip every day. who is to say that the distribution is? what we know is that is that the israel has constantly restricted order ross from the, from distributing the forward throughout the does a strip. we know that israel has a, the road blocks and check points with the gaza strip, not allowing you monetary, an aide to entropy certain areas. so for example, if north guys up today, it is obvious that they are not receiving 3000 calories of the day. there it is obvious that in the south are not receiving 3000 calories of thing. so what? it's based on the lie. but even if it were true, if wouldn't necessarily mean that all the population was receiving the amount that they need. so that us to not separate from trisha need gordon, professor of international law at queen mary universi

is the, is rarely military activity in gaza. the only reason behind the fact that aid is not reaching thousands as well. there are numerous factors and constraints that are making operations, humanitarian operations and guys are extremely difficult. in particular, the conflict itself, military operations ongoing throughout the gaza strip, even within the military. and so on, but i think it's fair to say an especially if viewed through the perspective of the key points that were raised in the american letter. that the constraints imposed by the israelis in terms of cargo, humanitarian and other cargo, getting into guys with this really is a fundamental restriction. and that key driver of the deteriorating situation and goes to describe for us that situation. what does the humanitarian situation on the ground look like and gaza today? or it's, it's, i think the easiest way to describe it is to view the images that are coming out which are very accurate to the acute situation that exists there. in terms of humanitarian indicators.

so has still peace between israel and has bought for gaza. it made me more intense fighting ahead. guessing i was left alone. i mean them. so this way, this will have all the time and resources to find the guidance. how my says it respects as follows, decision but its own attempts to secure a truce, have sold inside israel deep political divisions, handler peace efforts, right? twink ministers are pushing for preventive changes in gaza, including controversial resettlement plans when it comes to because of the given meant these way. the government itself is a union obviously want to continue the war for different reason is not typically they want to achieve victory and guys because they want to use the war in order to achieve political aims within this little society. the last pause and fighting wasn't november last year. it's so how most release 105 is really captive that week . long grasp which remains the only successful troops of the war. but philistines are still hoping for a breakthrough with our law, say that god willing a similar trut

you were born in gaza.ou were born in the city of rafah in the south of gaza that's become so famous in recent months. and you were born there because of what palestinians call the nakba. that's a phrase many people know, but a lot of people find puzzling. what is that story? it is the story of a people who have gone through first cancellation, complete cancellation. and by the way, the uk, britain had something to do with that cancellation process, the balfour declaration. we were completely cancelled as a nation. and then there came an ideology that palestine is a land without a people, and for that, for that ideology to materialise, acts of extermination has to be implemented against my people. and in 1947-48, the nakba year militias, jewish militias engaged in ethnic cleansing campaign whereby two thirds of the palestinian people were violently forced out. that was my parents, my grandparents, and as a result, i am the son of the nakba. i was born in a refugee camp in rafah. so this is the moment in whi

much of gaza now looks unlivable.th ago, america once again demanded israel take steps to reduce the number of civilian casualties. the united nations says more than 1,000 people have been killed in the last 30 days. the majority, it says, were civilians. nizar needed to see with his own eyes. in the bag is the five—year—old's auntie. his uncle, children and his sister were also killed when israel attacked a school housing displaced families in central gaza. israel's military says it was targeting hamas. "god is all we need", cries nizar�*s brother. there is food in gaza, if you can get your hands on it. this, the daily scramble for bread, if you can afford it. translation: if it were not for the soup kitchen, - we would have starved to death. every day, it's the same struggle. i go back and forth to the soup kitchen. 0n gaza's northern border, this is zikim. you can see the war is not over. but israel has reopened a number of crossings to allow aid in, as the us requested. it's not enough. america demanded that, by n

there are appalling things going on right now in gaza.stroying hamas, making sure they can't do a 7th of october again. however, they're pushing very, very hard, pushing out remaining civilians in northern gaza. there's a serious war going on in lebanon. there is unrest throughout the region. so i think, you know, the big challenge for the next american president, whoever it is, will be, first off, let's try not to make things any worse. let's try and keep a lid on it. and they're certainly not going to be able to pivot away from the region, because they are intimately involved in what's going on, without being able to control what's going on. and that's not a great place for the most powerful country in the world to be. jeremy, nada, thank you both so much for that conversation. really interesting. my pleasure. thank you very much. if you want more episodes of the global story, you can find us wherever you get your podcasts. thank you for watching and goodbye. hello. fireworks displays on saturday evening at least added a little bit of c

aaron, let's start with gaza.n the us can sit say that they are working on solutions to end fighting in gaza but at the same time they are actively vetoing un solution. it is same time they are actively vetoing un solution.- vetoing un solution. it is a difference _ vetoing un solution. it is a difference between - vetoing un solution. it is aj difference between serious efforts to end the fighting in gaza and lebanon and performative behaviour of the un in new york. i understand the way the world perceived humanitarian effort in gaza and the extraordinarily horrific number of palestinians being killed by israel's prosecution of war. a year on, no one should be surprised by the nature of the us response. i think what surprises me is that people are still stunned somehow. 0r people are still stunned somehow. or that they believe that the united states is going to depart from policies that it has perceived consistently over the course of the last year. that resolution it was we did in large part because yes, this is
