gomsia, what are the major obstacles in delivering humanitarian. applies and because this is another issue that has shocked the world seeing that these humanitarian aid trucks are waiting behind these borders without being allowed to get inside. well israeli government basically said from the beginning from the morning of october 7 the israeli military chief war minister gan said that basically no food no... medicine, water, no fuel into gaza, because we're dealing with human animals, so this has been a consistent policy, and you have to give it to those right-wing. fascist ministers and and prime minister netanyahu, because they say what they do, and they are very clear about it, that they are going to engage in genocide, and they did engage in genocide, so that's what they did, and they gave specific instructions to their military regarding that, and any means of production within gaza, such as presence of water tanks, of green houses that produce food, they were all bombed so that there is no indigenous food production in gaza, the idea is to basically genocide us, sorry to use it

mazen gomsia who is a palestinian scientist and author joining us from bethlehem. mr. glomsia, what is your take on this situation, how would you analyze this kind of large scale attack that is definitely a breach of all kinds of convent. international conventions and international law attacking pajor devices, we do know that lot of the people who have been injured were ordinary civilians and now the hospitals in beirot are overwhelmed with the number of injuries. um, how do you analyze the situation? well, the scenes are horrific, condolences to those past. and our wishes for recovery for those who are injured, many have lost hands and have debilitating injuries, it's truly horrific action, act of terrorism a large scale, and that's on the only way we can describe it is an act of terrorism from a state that from its founding is known for state terrorism, from its massacres, 33 massacre. just in four months in 1948, just before it was founded as a regime, as a state, to the present massacres in gaza, massacre after massacre, even today there was another massacre in gaz

gomsia, about 70% of gaza's infrastructure has reportedly been destroyed. what are the consequences of that, considering that people are living in that situation? our palestine institute for biodiversity and sustainability, actually did some research on. the impact of war on infrastructure and water infrastructure on the green cover in gaza, destruction of agriculture, destruction of hospitals, destruction of universities, basically gaza is being made unliveable intentionally by the signist regime, this is subject of ongoing research and we have published two papers already and will publish more soon on the destruction and the fact is probably some things can be reclaimed in gaza, some things cannot be reclaimed, one of the things that may not be possible to reclaim is the water equifer in gaza which is now heavily polluted and has been depleted and israel has flooded the tunnels that the... resistance has built with seawater and this seeps into the aquafer and making the aquafer salty and not usable for drinking. okay, now back to mr. balakot from vancouve
