basically, the palestinians are responsible for receiving the human terry in ada through the rafah crossingunfortunately we have not seen any positive impact in regards to the entry of human terry in aid. the daily average since the beginning of the monetary and aid on october 21 until february is almost 94 aid trucks through both the rafah crossing. what we are receiving does not even scratch the surface. that is why most people are just living in hunger, lacking food, water, medicines and everything. the situation is absolutely catastrophic in terms of both the human terry inside. we don't have enough food, water, relief items, and for 90% of the population, because everyone now is relying on the humanitarian aid, we also don't have enough medical supplies and medicines to support the work of hospitals while most hospitals went out of service. those who are still operating or experiencing extreme shortage of medicines and medical supplies. apologies for interrupting, we have to go soon but i wanted to ask you about, i know it is not something we'll be thinking about when it comes to the s

attack that the zionist regime has carried out in the past two days on rafah is doing to the rafah crossing and the philadelphia axis , that is, in the south of the gaza strip and in the north of egypt and the border where the rafah crossing is, one of its goals , by the way, is that it wants even the southernmost point for the leaders of hamas. insecure one of the arguments raised by the israelis in the negotiations was that if mr. yahya sanwar was actually willing to leave the gaza strip and enter the sinai desert or egypt, in return we would actually stop the war for a specific period of time . well, for the resistance, it is as clear as day that the departure of mr. sanwar from the gaza strip is equal to his arrest or his assassination , that is, in the proposed lands, we are ready to give him the permission to go to yemen through the red sea and stay there. now, the main problem of zionists is that these two people are a nightmare the zionist regime of yahya sanwar and mohammad zaeef and even the negotiation table is one of the main debates to reach these people because they believe th

we worked to get the rafah crossing open, and we insisted that it remain open. we are working to open other routes as well, and we are working relentlessly to make sure aid workers can get the aid where it's needed. i want to recognize jordan including just a few days ago. they helped fly humanitarian supplies, for years the queen has been a passionate advocate for the palestinian people particularly women and children. the humanitarian commitment is commendable. at the same time, working to create the conditions for a lasting peace. with israeli security guaranteed , we say this as a longtime supporter of israel, this is the only path that guarantees security for the long-term, to achieve this, palestinians must seize this opportunity. the palestinian authority must be informed. -- reform. once control is over, they must be prepared to build peace. together, we will keep working to complete what we started, to integrate the region, to bring about peace between israel and its arab neighbors, including a palestinian state. that effort was underway before october

the rafah crossing is vital to ensure aid can reach the people who so desperately need it.lined the need for israel to ease restrictions on humanitarian supplies and ensure the un and aid agencies can reach civilians in need throughout gaza. let me also... i will give way in a moment. israel must obey international humanitarian war in the way to prosecute this war and in terms of securing food and shelter for gazans. it must also take all possible measures to make sure the safety of medical personnel and facilities. we have made this point without counterparts in israel, including during the foreign secretary's visit to israel on the 24th of january and with regional partners, including saudi arabia, oman and lebanon. i give way. i thank the secretary of state for giving weight and am grateful to him for that. giving weight and am grateful to him forthat. he giving weight and am grateful to him for that. he poured cold water on the south african submission before it was placed. can he give a response from the government to the decision lie made by the international court of

and the gaza strip, and to strictly control the entry of palestinians into egypt through the rafah crossing. when israel left the gaza strip in 2005 and evacuated about 20 jewish settlements in the area, according to the philadelphia agreement signed between israel and egypt that same year . leave the control of this road to its neighbor egypt kurds should have guaranteed the security of this buffer zone in front of egypt, but a network of tunnels was created in this area for a long time and it became a vital area to meet the needs of hamas, and today israel aims to destroy hamas, which was announced on october 7th. karde wants to take back control of this area. israel's desire to regain control. so we are likely to see a diplomatic incident with egypt where there is a contradiction. the entire egyptian people are pro-palestinian and its regime is anti-hamas. therefore, egypt and israel have a common enemy and breaking these relations is beneficial for them it has none. next point. if israel takes control of this axis, the residents of gaza will make a massive migration from this area, whic

and islam, who said that they want to open the rafah crossing, so what are they going to do?il today, the northern regions are starving, where 500,000 citizens the palestinian, who is settled in his home and does not accept forced transfer, is now suffering from hunger , even if you forgive me, even if he needs grass, until the intervention of these islamic countries is done in a humane way, and i don't want to say that he should go and steal wars and send the army, and i don't know. the palestinian resistance is enough, but at least the issues of humanitarian aid should be reached. hundreds of thousands of civilians are waiting in the back of the rifa report. now the israelis are approaching rafah with a green light . very sensitive area dear friends, security in egypt , what are they doing now in egypt ? we have not seen a strong reaction to this day, for example, these brazen war crimes that are being committed by israel against our people . islamic, we have a report about the delay and learning they had in making decisions regarding the palestine issue. let's see this rep

previously , images of a long line of about 2,000 trucks behind the rafah crossing were published, which shows that food items are not allowed to enter the food. humanitarian aid should first be checked by its child zionist regime. that is, from the removal of karam abu salem, 60 km, the secretary general of unrwa says that the passage of trucks carrying food to gaza is less than half, and that the situation in the north of the gaza strip is worse than in the south. in the north of the gaza strip, even animal feed is not found. many our requests for the movement of convoys from south to north are rejected, and whenever they are accepted , the convoys face a series of security incidents . what the general secretary said. he says that the security incidents are the regime's attacks on food trucks, just like what happened on al-rashid street . people who were waiting to receive humanitarian aid were targeted by zionist airstrikes, like this palestinian man who could not kill his mother before he died.

in another airstrike on a house near the rafah crossing in the south of the gaza strip, a woman and her young child were martyred. the war vessels of the zionist regime are also off the coast of rafah were shelled. news sources about the disastrous situation of nasser hospital in khanyounos in the south of nabar. gaza reports that in the west bank, a large number of zionist soldiers attacked the city of tubas on wednesday evening. in this attack, palestinian fighters clashed with the occupiers in some parts of this city and targeted the occupiers with a bomb explosion . the secretary general of the united nations said the massacre and widespread destruction in the gaza strip in the last 120 days is a stain on the forehead of humanity. antonio guterres emphasized the violence of the settlers in the west bank and the gaza strip in the security council meeting. stop the war in the gaza strip. the secretary general of the united nations also criticized the suspension of aid from several countries to the united nations relief and works agency for palestinian refugees in the gaza strip and sa

hello, as a first question, i want to know how important this crossing, the rafah crossing, and these axes, that is, the philadelphia axis, are actually one axis, in fact, with two terms, the philadelphia axis or the saladin axis, if the zionists dominate it, and why? now the zionist regime has chosen that goal for itself to master. in the name of allah, the most merciful , i offer my courtesy and greetings. you see, he raised the issue of the border with egypt or the axis of philadelphia or saladin. it was done by the zionist regime more to justify the failure until now, he himself means, in other words, he has to take this place until the victory is achieved, and taking this place is now faced with the international consensus against it, that is , there is no country in the world that has this crime of the zionist regime in attacking this region. the resistance in gaza makes weapons, and the weapons it is using, whether it is missiles, anti-tank weapons, or 305, are made by the palestinian people and are not imported. therefore , the zionist regime raises this issue for the time bei

voluntary they went and the broke made a hole in the egyptian fence at the border and rafah near rafah crossing which they call it the philadelphia corridor and that's the ideal scenarios which the zianist entity genocidal war planning for from the beginning they they want to bush them in a way they just want to run for their lives and that's what they doing, they want to create the nightmare scenario for the egyptians and for the palestinian as well, they at the beginning when they they were saying they ask the united nation help to move the palestinians out of rafa, the united nation officials repeatedly told them there is no safe place in gaza and we cannot help in in in in like creating waves of refugees. out of the gaza strip, that's what they they they were attacking the united nation all along, they wanted now the united nation to help them in in creating another nakba as the their officials called it at the beginning of their attacks in gaza last october when they call it nakba 2023, this is the the the the the the the design and this is coming on the back of as yesterday the wall stree

_ would not open the border, the rafah crossing for _ would not open the border, the rafah crossinge _ they are not prepared to do it. now, there are they are not prepared to do it. fr?“ now, there are more questions than answers. the news that two hostages were rescued alive and well from a house in rafah will be a huge relief to theirfamilies. meanwhile, hamas claim three other hostages were killed in the israeli air strikes. israel has always maintained that it does everything it can to reduce civilian casualties. despite that, the hamas—run health ministry says more than 20,000 people have now been killed. if, when, israel moves on this final section of gaza, that number will surely rise. and now i am joined by former uk ambassador to the us and also former national security adviser sir kim darroch and humanitarian communications lead for actionaid, frances leach. you had a phone briefing this morning, what are they telling you about what life is like in rafah at the moment? ftill" about what life is like in rafah at the moment?— about what life is like in rafah at the moment? .

from jordan after spending the week in the middle east with stops in israel as well as at the rafah crossingngressman, welcome. let me ask you what you want americans to know about what you have seen and heard at rafah. >> well, a couple things. i mean, first of all, there is an urgent need to get more humanitarian assistance into gaza. and the biden administration in particular has been working with everybody involved to do that to open up the corridors to pressure israel to open more corridors, and crucially working on getting a peace agreement to get a cease fire in exchange basically for the release of the hostages. that continues to be a significant issue. so working very hard on the humanitarian corridor, and then long-term, you know, finding a solution that has a future for the palestinian people. look, we should not minimize, you know, what hamas did or the ongoing threat that hamas poses to israel. and frankly, that hamas poses to the palestinian people. i mean, they choose to embed themselves in hospitals and with the civilian population, to embed military, sorry, to embed their mi

we're seeing is a kind of provisional arrangement, an enclosure in the desert, right next to the rafah crossingich the egyptians are preparing for the possible arrival of a significant number of palestinians in the event of an assault by israel on rafah, but of course at the same time, the israelis are saying, we're not to force anyone to cross that border. israeli officials still say they are working on a plan to get that 1.3, 1.4 million civilians who are in rafah out of harms way ahead of any kind of offensive but there is no indication of what that plan will actually be and in the absence of a plan and with these constructions going on just across the border, of course palestinians are deeply apprehensive. meanwhile, the world health organization says the biggest hospital in southern gaza is now no longer functioning, after a raid by israeli forces. the head of the who said a team from the organisation had not been allowed to enter the nasser hospital in the city of khan younis to assess the condition of the 200 remaining patients. scores of people remain inside the building — but there is

as a first question , i would like to know that this rafah crossing and these two axes, the philadelphiare actually one axis. with two terms, the philadelphia axis or salahuddin axis , how important is it if the zionists dominate it, and why now the zionist regime has chosen that goal to dominate it, in the name of allah, the most merciful , the most merciful. the philadelphia axis or salah al-din was proposed by the regime. more zionist to justify his failure so far, in other words, he says, "i have to take this place until victory is achieved, and taking this place is now faced with the international consensus against it. in other words , there is no country in the world where this crime of the zionist regime in attacking this area has one and a half million people. they live there, it is not confirmed by even the closest party to the zionist regime . another point that is raised here is that the zionist regime makes an excuse that the weapons enter gaza through tunnels from under this area. until now, the zionist regime does not want to believe that the resistance in gaza. he makes we
