all right, now let's stop this and go live uh to. the rafa crossing, rafa crossing is the only uh crossing into gaza via egypt and this is the second day uh in a row after un efforts and international community's efforts and of course uh pushed by iran and many other countries that uh finally egypt opened up this crossing and uh this is the second day trucks are carrying aid uh going through this. rough border crossing, from egypt they enter the base ghaza strip that's been under indiscriminate and heavy bombardment by the israel regime of course, and uh today sunday we had reports of 17 trucks uh passing through this point and the day before. uh we had 20 trucks uh go through this uh rafa crossing uh and carrying uh medical aid and food and water into ghaza there has been this of course this black head i should explain the gaza it's been there for 16 years and it's been even escalated in the past couple of weeks uh since days where the aggression on the people in gaza so people are deprived of basic needs, including food, water, and let alone medical equipment and medicine, and the united

of the uh palestinians in gaza, so uh we also had news earlier that egypt had hinted that maybe the rafa border crossing would be opened today, and now we can see uh demonstrators have amassed their um showing their determination uh that they want the rafa crossing to be opened uh and they want to help in the alleviating of some of the suffering of the palestinians in gaza. mr. horstell, please continue. well, back to khalid mashal to doha and to the year 2015, and the two sentences khalid mashal told me first, before anything had started between us, yes, hamas is ready to protect the jews in palestine in a one-state solution. we will take care that no jew is being harmed under our rule. and this is nothing new, this is. the old story of palestine where the muslims protected the jews, and the jews lived door to door, there was no much discussion who is jewish or who is muslim, they just were neighbors, they were friends, they lived together, they had their own religions, yes, but there was no upheaval any day, no unrest, no trouble in the day-to-day life with these differences they had i

were seeking medical treatment and shelter there. the regimes raise also killed 107 palestinans in rafa and khans in the southern gaza strip. at least six people were also killed. one of school run by the un refugee agency was shelled. anoa has slummed the attack is outrageous. the un agency says the attack once again showed israel's flagrant disregard for the lives of civilians. that's told. from the israely aggression now standing at over 3,000, some 100 children among the victims, according to the palestinian health ministry, 12,500 people have also been injured, the world health organization has warned of an imminent catastrophe in gaza. as far as water, electricity and fuel are concerned, according to the un, the red cross and the red crecent, after 24 hours, it will be a real catastrophe, no fuel, therefore no electricity for all the inhabitants of the gaza strip in general and for the medical establishments in particular. the who official says if aid is not allowed into gaza, patients will die. almandari added that overcrowding is paralyzed the hospitals. intensive care units, op

i mean, there is word that aid could be coming through the rafa crossing from egypt soon. but we don't know when exactly. how urgent is that situation? how desperate for those gazans who are waiting for -- i can't imagine those facilities. we're looking at an unruh school right now, and packed to the gills with people. it's not meant for this. >> absolutely. this is tragic. and i don't know how killing -- has taken on hamas, ambulances and firefighter just like 20 minutes ago in gaza helps take on hamas. this is a tragedy that should be prevented. civilians should really be saved from this. i have a family. my family is hiding somewhere up north. and we cannot find a way out. i hope my mother, my kids, my nephews and nieces are safe. anybody has an idea how to get them out of there to a safe zone, please get in touch with me, please. >> i can't imagine the stress of that. this is important too. the hamas, the terror attack on israeli civilians is undeniably horrific, inexcusable. do you worry that palestinians in gaza are all being treated as guilty, even when they perhaps

westbank through jordan, then through the egyptian desert, finally arriving after many days through the rafa crossing. without the israeli occupation, the journey would have taken less than an hour. lue ode from jerusalem spent nine years in prison. the israelis were searching for him between 1996 and 2002. هذا كنت مطلوب من سنه 96 طلعت من مدينه القدس وعشتت ب مناطق اللي كان فيها السلطه الفلسطينيه تم اعتقالي ببدايه الانتفاضه بال 2002 بعمليه بالاجتياح اللي سواه على الضفه الغربيه الحكمت 28 سنه بتهم فعاليات عسكريه قضيت عشر سنين بالسجن وروحت بصفقه التبادل الاخيرره these are live images from the besieg gaza strip, you see an explosion taking place there, this is a live image as smoke billows over gaza, it's become a very frequent. image over two weeks plus going on 16 days of relentless bombings by the israely regime coupled with a complete siege of water food, fuel medicine to the civilian population there, over 4200 gozans have been killed, 1700 of them children, you can imagine that equates to more than 100 minor a day killed in gaza, nearly a thous women, um, the un update says a death toll fro

this point uh the development the developments there in the ghaza strip uh in particular about the rafa border crossing is of note and uh also we have uh the fact that the a thousand children now have been uh killed which we now have ash correspondent joining us to tell us more about that there's a couple key developments but the one that is uh shocking is the ones about the kids ash do you have my voice okay we don't have yet uh the shocking uh report that came out is uh regarding the children that i spoke about here uh want ashaf, are you with us? we don't have ash yet, do apologize for that, so i'll continue until we get that uh confirmed about what the hamamas spokes person hasm has said. israeli occupation based on the statement that has come from him, committing genocide as 1, out of 2700 marters are children, that is what the hamamas spokesperson has said, and uh, if you're with us, can you confirm that piece of news? what the ash shanan, are you with us? i guess it's hard to establish connection sometimes because of the state of affairs, i'm sure you will understand, we don't ha

overwhelming and we do not have any more the capacity to deal with them. my team who relocated to rafa to sustain operation following the israeli ultimatum is working in the same... building as thousands of desperate displaced people rushening also their food underwater. in fact an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding under our eyes. how many people evacuated? the un agency says some one million palestinians have been displaced since the israeli assaults began, meanwile israel has stationed thousands of troops and heavy weapons near the gaza border. the arab league and the african union have... warned that the regime's possible ground invasion could result in quote a genocide of unprecedented proportions. meanwile palestinian resistance groups have launched more attacks against israel in retaliation for the regime's bombardments of the gaza strip. the military wing of the hamas resistance movement, the isadeen al-qassim brigades fired missiles at the occupied outcorts in response to... the israeli killing of palestinian civilians. also, in alonsots, the meeting of israel

dozens more injured after missiles hit a cafe in conjuns. 15 rolls are killed in separate attack on rafa and southern gaza. the first raids in gaza came after the regime's army said it would step up a strikes ahead of what are called the next stages of the war. the army says is trying to create optimal conditions for ground invasion. the israeli regime issued new evacuation warnings for gaza residents. the attack some gaza have killed nearly 4700 palestinians and wonded 16th. others so far, more than 70% of the victims are children, women and the elderly. israel has also been escalating its atrocities in the occupied west bank while waging a war on gaza, ingen palestinians held a funeral for two of the latest victims of the regime's atrocities. the two were killed after an israeli air raid on alexa mosk in refugee camp. at least three people were also injured. three more palestinians were killed in rates in the northern westbank cities of tubas and annapolis. since october 7th when israel launched at deadly war on gaza, regime forces have also killed at least 90 palestinians in the west

so your mother, your sister are there at, i assume at the rafa crossing, hoping to get into egypt. how are they? i know you've spoken with them, but what have they said are the conditions there? >> right, so honestly, they're terrified, you know, and speaking with other family members who are born and raised in gaza and they're currently there, they're saying that we are just as terrified as them. we may have experienced war before, we may have experienced something like this, but this is -- what's happening right now is unprecedented. i mean, they have never seen an attack on gaza in this magnitude, to this severity, and it is really, really kacausing e humanitarian situation there to just de-escalate at a very fast rate. i mean, there's over 2,000 people dead, almost 10,000 people injured. and the people of gaza, from what i understand, are calling upon the international community to put an end to these human rights violations, and to get some sort of humanitarian aid into the border through egypt. >> if your family is able to get out, to get to the other side of that crossing, w

this across the rafa crossing. what is the situation there?— across the rafa crossing.here? as i'm sure you have been reporting, _ the situation there? as i'm sure you have been reporting, this _ the situation there? as i'm sure you have been reporting, this is - the situation there? as i'm sure you have been reporting, this is a - the situation there? as i'm sure you have been reporting, this is a very l have been reporting, this is a very difficult, very slow process. we are moving on average, average turnout the total number of tracks that entered a something like 168 trucks over the past 17 or 18 days, so an average of about 15—20 trucks a day. this is trickling in, drop in the ocean, but it is very slow, so the whole process of going from egypt to the israeli checkpoint to be checked, verified and then back to the rafah crossing. even when they come in to casa there are also processes and instructions to the international aid agencies by the israeli army that they cannot move. after five o'clock we.. we have at this moment something like 30 trucks that are unloaded

>> i think it's important that we get the rafa crossing open. and i'm glad that secretary blinken has had those conversations with president cici, is doing the shuttle deployment that is so important in this time. i think that this is a really difficult situation, where you want to make sure that humanitarian goods are getting in, people can get out, while also recognizing that you want to make sure that you're doing it in a safe and orderly and humane way, and that you're doing it in often is way that it protects against hamas being able to get out or any war material to get in and that is difficult because so many things can be used for different purposes. i know secretary blinken and the entire u.s. government is working hard on those negotiations and i'm hopeful that we'll see a breakthrough soon. >> we get an update from the state department that it is now 30 americans, 30, that were killed in this attack by hamas. 13 more metropolis are still unaccounted for tonight. what went through your mind when you heard that latest number? >> it's ju

but opening up one bold up at rafa is going to get enough agent to serve as the hold of garza. the most of the roads from the hospitals have been destroyed. suddenly a shafer fully accessed roads have been bombed and are impossible. so the notion that the large numbers of patients and civilians can be evacuated through one opening down at rough or i think is, is frankly, from civil. and so i think that needs to be a lift of the siege completely. and the, it's mindy more bolt across things that can be opened from israel, need to be open to allow aid to come in that way. speaking from the u. k. perspective, i know, magically the palestine has got many health. okay. well, because of a place to come and go in and help, and i'm sure of that comes with the same. so the minutes, the minute 8 is allowed a and it needs to be allowed in for moldable. does that really have to? it needs to happen and then in the next day or 2, and even if the age is allowed in talk to may not, it's not going to be a light switch, is it? i mean, even if it gets in it, does that mean that a humanitarian cris

per were taking the rafa border crossing between gaza and egypt. abu ubeida added israel's refused to take the delivery of these captives. he said release took place even though israel repeatedly violated an agreement to guarantee the captives safety. mas also releaseed an american mother and daughter on friday. palestinian resistance fighters took around 250 captives from israel on october 7th. they said some of them were killed in israeli air strikes. 18-year-old dima alamdani and her family were among thousands of gazons fleeing south after regime told palestinians in the north of the enclave to evacuate and with no. ells to go, the family settled in a temporary shelter in khan unis, but overnight on october 17th, massively air strike hit that shelter, and from family of 17, only four remain, dema lost her parents, seven siblings and four members of her uncle's family, she is now left with just a brother and two cousins. she says her life is now turned into a nightmare. i went to look for my mother, my father and my siblings at the morg, at firs

and dozens injured after missiles hit a cafe in tonis. 15 others were killed in another attack on rafa city in southern gaza. the fresh raids in gaza came after regime's army said it would step up a strikes a had of what are called the next stages of the war. these is really army says is trying to create optimal conditions for a ground invasion. it's assured new evacuation warnings for residents in gaza. the attacks on gaza have killed nearly four. 700 people wounding some 16,000 others. over 70% of victims are women and children and the elderly. meantime, a convoy of 17 trucks carrying humanity and eight has entered a gaza trip from egypt's rafa crossing. the trucks carry food, water and medicines, which shade groups say are critical for gaza's 2.3 million residents. that after a convoy comprising... 20 trucks arrived in the basieglife, the first to enter gaza since october 7th. the road cresen of the un warning the limited agepment is nowhere near enough to meet the urgent needs of people. israel has imposed total sige on gaza since the early this month. israel has also been escalati

ago by um blocking all the entrances from the israeli si side and also bombing the entrance to the rafaks came in and they're not helping uh helping with anything, gaza in a in a normal day, regular day needs some 500 trucks per day of goods just to barely survive, and now you have this ongoing war, the the bloodshed killing uh, and hospitals already before this war were not able to treat patients, like normal cases. now they have to deal with multiple traumas to to the bodies to upper torso, lower torso, head injuries, it's it's nearly impossible to to treat the victims even in the best hospitals right now, because israel is using unconventional weapons that burn most of the body or blow the bodies up, okay ashaf stay safe, we'll talk to you uh soon there ashanner there. us for an update out of khan unis. meanwile the leaders of lebanese and palestinian resistance movements have held a meeting, pardon iran's foreign minister has urged un to hold israel to account for war crimes it is committing against palestinians in gaza. hossain amry abdullahyan made the call in a letter to un high

there are lots of 8 convoys wasting outside of rafa. crossing to guys with aid much needed aid. what is your understanding as to what's happening at that border crossing and the conditions in which this aid would be allowed into gossip? know, honestly, it's not very clear. i mean it's, it's very vague even so i'm trying to eat some something. me just so i don't, i don't i that kind of came, i have, i need a more information except that's how we did it in, in, in, in goes ice, that there is a concern also by the egyptians up and that this would be a evacuation that would lead to actually the transfer and kind of outside of sentience to a refugee kind of state out the board. and, and, you know, of course, protestant in stone to on that. and educations don't want that. the exam is done and is, is, is pushing to a box or whatever. and some other leaders are involved in such a discussions or such. this is how it's kind of broke up and in the back of our minds as part of senior living. here is uh, the minutes i left my home from garza city to center garza, i had the spheres immediatel

a convoy of 17 trucks, carrying humanitarian eight has entered a gaza strip from egypt's rafa crossing. they're carrying food supplies, water, medicines, which eight groups say are critical for gaza's 2.3 million residents. now that after convoy comprising 20 trucks arrived in the bessieg territory, the first to enter gaza since october 7. "the red cresent and the un have warned the limited aid shipment is nowhere near enough to meet the urgent needs of gasons. israel has imposed total siege on the region since early this month. the military wing of the palestinan resistant moment hamas says it's foiled in israeli attempt to infiltrate into the gaza strip. the alaxan brigade says that ambush and israelly armored unit that had few meters into the territory, it added to two israeli bullozers and the tank were destroyed and the forces retrated across the separation fence. the israeli army has been massing troops and tanks along the gaza border in preparation of a possible ground invasion. hamas says it's ready for any such offensive, warning that gaza will turn into a graveyard for invade

border, border crossing at rafa and the importance of that passage being open, both certainly egypton is extremely dire and even worst though, we are not necessarily seeing the appropriate response from the international community. uh and westley, you know, the un is saying, the human rights official saying that depriving civilians, i'm just reading what you're saying, depriving civilians of goods essential for survival is banned. under international law, so absolutely, why should egy adopt such a position? why are they just sitting there indifferently? well, i think that there are there are two reasons, but i think that what must be emphasis certainly is that it's not since last week that israel has been violating international law, i think that they have been doing so since 1948, but in these circumstances what really is is surprising and what is absolutely shocking is the reaction from the international community and specifically egypt takes the position that it does because it doesn't want a large palestinian population within its borders and to a large extent they are absolutel

i would like to talk about the border crossing in rafa. egyptian officials said it will be open tomorrow. do you have a sense how long the border will be open? do you know where the supplies -- where the trucks will be offloading their supplies and what happens then? >> it's also my understanding that we'll have movement tomorrow. it's also my understanding that the supplies are supposed to be for the refugee population in the south, those people who have relocated from the north at our advice to escape what will be ultimately a combat zone. that is my understanding. >> do you know how many people have heeded the advice or the purging of israeli authorities to move south? do you know how many in gaza have moved south? >> i've heard different numbers. we know it's in the hundreds of thousands. all those people who have successfully moved are doing themselves a favor. no one should knowingly stay in a combat zone where there's danger they'll get caught in the cross-fire. we don't want to see the civilian population experience mass casualties

fighting inside of ghaza. in the statement brigade said that forces are trying to enter from the east rafa, however they were forced to drop from the base territory. the middle wing of hamas also announced destroying tanks in northern gada. new palestines living in the besides territory are facing a dire humanitarian situation. but are refusing to leaves. we will stay here whether israel forces come in by land or by air strikes, whatever happens, we will be stead fast. we will not make the same mistakes we made in 1948 when they displaced us from homes, until the last moment we will remain here. this is our land and we will not leave. any day now, we're going to go back and live upon the ruins of our homes. we cannot handle it. anymore even mountains wouldn't bear what we're going through, we reach the state where we wish to have died on the rubble just to find some rest, our life is torture, we wait in line for 3 hours to use the toilet, you see this is what happened, this is not just shelling, but earthquake, honestly it's like earthquake i do not know what to say, may god take revenge f

. >> we are also hearing reports of an israeli airstrike in the city of rafa, early tuesday. the palestinian interior ministry says at least 28 people were killed. the city is home to the border crossing where many palestinian civilians have been gathering to try to enter egypt. even experts warn gaza is being strangled by israel's weeklong siege and aerial bombardment before the most reach and strike, the palestinian prime minister said more than 2800 people had been killed in gaza. and israeli ground offensive into gaza is widely expected to start at anytime. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel won't stop until it destroys the military and governmental capability of hamas. more now from cnn senior international correspondent sam kiley. a warning, his report contains some graphic video. [sirens] >> at stake, a widening war in the middle east. a humanitarian horror and floods of refugees. the conundrum israel faces is self defense versus collective punishment. still reeling from october 7th hamas attacks in which at least 1400 people were killed and most of the civi

citizens in gaza they may want to move closer to the critical rafa border crossing in the southern part of gaza that's closer to egypt, because there may be very little notice if that rafa opening does open. this comes amid reports that egypt was not allowing u.s. citizens to enter the country at that crossing. more than a million civilians in gaza are under israeli orders to try to flee to the south. an idf spokesman told me gazans should press on with the evacuation even after the safe passage deadline expired. president netanyahu visiting front line soldiers today near gaza, telling them to be ready for the next stage of this war as israeli forces pound the territory from the air and amass huge numbers of ground troops near the border with gaza. the death toll on both sides has been rising, with more than 1300 killed in israel and the number of civilians killed in gaza surpassing 2200. our correspondents are following all the breaking news in the region. ben wedeman is in south lebanon, covering evacuation efforts in gaza. oren liebermann is at the pentagon. o oren let's start with y

people from across the goes, i have left the homes and headed south to rafa in recent days of to being told to evacuate by. israel. mediators have so far failed to negotiate a ceasefire that would allow foreigners to leave garza and they only bowed into egypt. so for many, it is a difficult weight for the becomes the boat of crossing every day. we contact the embassy every day and they tell us to go to the crossing while we wait for up to 8 hours and then we go back. public journey is dangerous when we want to solve this problem so that we can travel in and out of itself, according to us, secretary of state and to me blinking america. and israel have now agreed to develop a plan that would allow a to reach garza but working out the details will likely take time. time that is running out to the thousands of thousands quote and the growing humanitarian crisis. earlier i spoke to martin frank, the director of the world food program here in berlin. and i asked him how many food supplies are left in gaza? where we estimate that the food is stuck in the gaza strip. um the remain sufficient f

she told me the rafa border crossing must open as a matter of urgency. what we do know is that people are in dire need of a need to monitor and assistance the client's needs to need to reach the soon as possible . and the siege on the golf trip must be listed on the other humanitarian agencies have not been able to deliver any human attendance applies to people in drywall in the past 2 weeks alone. what do you, what do you understand the hold up to be i really do not have those details. and what i do know is that the situation on the ground for people in gaza, including half a 1000000 who showed her in honora school, all the facilities is absolutely entire. but this is lots to be due to the lot supplies that have been running out for the agency. i work with on worked in 20, laurie loads of a, a cheese in a situation, but used to require 100 a day. it's the ocean. this is exactly why the un, under included, are cooling for sustainable humanitarian access and regular humanitarian access. so the aid flows into the go script for people. it means among the wo

works to get americans out of gaza into egypt through the southern border near rafa. it is still closed. but a palestinian official says it will open tomorrow morning and the state department says up to 600 americans remain in gaza. so far, negotiations between egypt, israel, and aid organizations over the border have gone nowhere as families wait in agony. this as secretary of state blinken continues his shuttle diplomacy with a visit to egypt today, working on all these issues. >> we come to work together as well to ensure that this cries is, this conflict doesn't spread to other places. >> reporter: to help ensure that a second u.s. aircraft carrier, the eisenhower, will join the "u.s.s. gerald ford" already in the eastern mediterranean. inside israel, relentless threats from the air. we were rushed to a bomb shelter as air raid sirens went off. >> we experienced what life is like even here in tel aviv. about 20 of us including all six senators had to be herded into a shelter, because there were missile attacks this afternoon. thank god none of them hit. >> reporte

walfa, my last question to you, there are only eight uh 20 a trucks being allowed in right now at that rafa border crossing. antonio gutieres, un chief secretary general said there are 175 trucks that all need to desperately get in, that it is matter of life and death. what, i mean, what does to 20 trucks of aid right now in this situation do for gossins and their pressed. hospitals and civilian infrastructure? yeah, actually the humanitarian aid convoy will not relieve the grieved and devastated humanitarian situation in the vch gaza s, because here we are talking about nearly 1.1 million palestinians are displaced out of their homes, you know, and like the minimal aids is fairly a fraction of what is needed here in the ghaza strip where civilian infrastructure is devastated and collapsing under this israeli assault in in in gaza and and i i just can can say that the the arbitrary condition causing delays like many times they delayed the entering of this convoy like are meant to pressure the population here instead of provide relief to them in fact so so the limited humanitarian aid being

well uh, the egyptians are afraid that if they open the rafa crossing to bring in um aid and medical supplies that palestinians will rush into the water uh escape uh the the war in gaza and seek refuge in egypt. this is the main reason they don't want uh they don't want to open the crossing and this is literally what's going. went on, today uh, they were supposed to open the rafa crossing to bring in aid aid shipments into gaza, but and and we sent camera crews there, they just came back and they told me that egyptian officials decided to postpone this until tomorrow. thanks lot, ashraf press tv'sraf shiny joining us from khans in southern gaza, we're hearing from you later on in the day as well, let's crossover. to our guest, joining us from tehran, uh, what's your reaction when you uh, when you hear the uh, the accounts that are being given uh by our correspondent ashanan about the horror and the misery that the agasans and palestinians are experiencing right now, yes, what our reaction should be is the importance of raising our voice, making and known to the world that we are ther

going through rafa means going into egypt.t means leaving gaza altogether, and the israeli officials have said over and over they're not going to allow that kind of traffic until their hostages, 120 at last count, were released by hamas. so, i think also, what's been delaying the potential incursion that we see the israeli defense forces preparing for are all the news reports of the civilian casualties. i think there was enough pressure on the israeli government that it had to give a warning, give this 24-hour warning for residents to go south of the wadi, the small body of water that divides northern gaza from southern gaza, and to telegraph their moves to the enemy, which you don't normally do. that, hey, in 24 hours, we're probably going to come in, but that they wanted to tell the world, look, we're doing everything possible to get civilians out of the way. >> but at some point, kim, there are going to be civilians in the way. that's just the way it is, and we were looking at live pictures of gaza just a few moment ago. it

right now we have trucks waiting at the l we have trucks waiting at the rafa border crossing we havetop to the un, it is an extremely difficult time for anyone working in the humanitarian aid sector, especially in most of all. in gaza, despite being in shelters, despite having been displaced, they are still conducting assessments and keeping in contact with us and letting us know what the situation on the ground is like. i really need to stress that i do not think anybody can be expected to deliver aid and help vulnerable people of there is a threat to bombardment, and if there is a threat to their life, first and foremost we need all parties to agree to a ceasefire and also to agree to stick to the rules of international humanitarian law and those are the laws that govern fighting and ensure that sacred spaces like hospital in schools and civilian infrastructure are protected in these conflicts. soraya ali, global media manager for the middle east and north africa at save the children. thank you for telling us what your workers are experiencing, what is happening in gaza. these are

mark and how long and whether the rafa border will be open. i know the u.n. wants to keep it open to you a low some humanitarian aid to come into gaza. but that's always a question, right. >> can you talk about what it's -- you know, what was striking last night, you said there are no bomb shelters to go to. the situation on the ground. you know, why you are there in the first place and what that means and could mean given what is expected in the days or weeks ahead for the civilian population there. >> right. i mean, i think i -- people ask, am i scared? you know, i am an american citizen and i think i will get out and we are working on that. if you live in kbauz, there is no alternative than to stay. i think many families are encouraged to go to u.n. schools. those are not bomb shelters. but and they have been hit in the past, in past wars. so, really i just think i would be so terrified to be here with my family without being able to leave and really with so few alternatives, no electricity, no water. i mean, really it's just awful for peop
