bureau chief in this paul and i'd like to bring in shayna low, a spokesperson for the norwegian refugee council. say not hundreds of people are believed to have died in the explosion at the uh, the hospital in gaza city. what else can you tell us about the casualties there? i don't have much more information than what's already been reported. i do know that the people that were there were people who are seeking shelter. there's no safe place in gaza. people often go to medical centers, hospitals, un facilities thinking that that will be a safe place. so many of the people there that were killed were just ordinary civilians trying to find a safe place to stay with their families to be protected from the onslaught. because we've seen that despite the israel telling people that they needed to leave from the north austin, to bleed up, the south would be safer. we're seeing that the central and south of garza as well are not safe. so that's why people are going to hospitals and you when facilities thinking that that will provide them with some degree of protection. as soon as you and i have spoken t

earlier i spoke to shaina low from the norwegian refugee council.eopening of the rafah crossing. they need aid urgently. it needs to get through rafah to reach them. my understanding is the negotiations that took place yesterday and showed that only 20 trucks would be able to pass through rafah, the un has reported that a minimum of 100 trucks of humanitarian assistance are needed in order to support the 2.3 million civilians, men, women and children living in gaza. it's also important to note that once that aid arrives inside of gaza, there need to be assurances that humanitarians that are working to distribute the aid throughout the gaza strip will be protected and safe from bombardment, as well as ordinary civilians who are trying to access that aid, that they will also be protected and not targeted while seeking it out. absolutely. i mean, the un is involved actually handing out direct aid on the ground. the norwegian refugee council itself that you work for, what is your role in gaza? well, we have been working in gaza for 15 years. as of octob

earlier, i spoke to ahmed bayram, a media and communications advisor at norwegian refugee council middle which provides assistance and protection to refugees. as we have been recollecting, communications in gaza have been very difficult in the last 2a hours so i asked if he had now been able to contact some of his staff. yes, we have managed to get one of our colleagues on the line in 58 seconds, and he told us the three words we wanted to hear, i am alive. the rest of his message was about not being able to tell which house was bombed at which time, in which street. my colleague told me there were street being bombed outside and no one was getting any info on that. just this morning, the communication gradually returning, people came to the full scale of what happened in the full scale of what happened in the last 36 hours. there are people who just discovered that their relatives or neighbours, friends and family, are stuck under the rubble. unable to call emergencies all this time. what is happening is gaza is going from bad to worse all the time, around the clock. the level of suppor

that was the head of advocacy for the norwegian refugee council here in the middle east.he un general assembly voted overwhelmingly to adopt a resolution — put forward by arab countries — calling for a humanitarian truce in gaza. it's not binding, but steps up the pressure for a solution to be found to the conflict. the vote was angrily criticised by israel's ambassador to the un. it was also criticised by the israeli foreign ambassador. they said it was vital that israel was allowed to continue to defend itself in this way. there was an amendment proposed by canada to unequivocally reject and condemn hamas. that was defeated. our correspondent, nada tawfik, reports. 120 nations from every corner of the globe adding their weight to the increasingly desperate pleas of the un and palestinians, after the un security council failed to act, and only 14 countries voting against it. while the resolution is not binding, the palestinian ambassador, riyad mansour, celebrated the outcome. today, the general assembly declared that a call to stop the war and stop it now, send assistan

somebody did some as the regional head of advocacy, media and communications at the norwegian refugee council. thank you for your time, sir. it does now seem we have the steel according to the us to allow in 20 trunks of humanitarian aid and to gaza through the roof of crossing. it doesn't sound like a whole lot how far is it going to go? as the us announcement to allow 20 trucks initially into the crossing to reach gaza is not enough to do with the growing daily needs. emerging from the is really bombardment and siege on godsa the you and estimates that we need at least 100 trucks a trucks to enter goals and daily to meet the growing humanitarian needs. and we need guarantees as 8 workers as well that the 8 workers distributing 8 will be provided with safety and those people receiving aid will also be protected from violence. so we need to see an urgent scale up of the aid supplies going in to gaza. immediately. all crossings need to be opened and no restrictions should be placed on the amount of 8 going in, right. even if you get what you want in terms of the aid and the safety aspect, what

no, we can sit refugee council speaking just for mostly i think. but frances is cool for an end to the attacks into violence in israel, in an address to the crowd at some feet, a square expressed is solidarity with the victims. the head of the catholic church said fighting will not solve any problems a yes. ok in the army via text and width and cease please. because it must be understood that terrorism and war bring no solutions, but only the death and suffering of many innocent lives, or as a defeat, every will is a defeat, this price of peace and israel and palestine. now when they say and assembled with thousands of people might seem to show their support for palestinian fights as many also waving palestinian flags and jonathan slaves in support of a mass texas president risk type and is urging base. so as to de escalate attention to the killer silva on behalf of to key a and then the lights of this morning's events in israel, we invite all parties to act reasonably and to stay away from impulsive steps that res, tensions around is also held in
