richard brennan is the regional emergency director for the eastern mediterranean at the world health organization. he joins us live on skype from cairo. so thanks so much for being on the program. as we've heard tonight that president biden says each route has agreed to let aid into gaza as soon as possible. and yet the us has vetoed a security council resolution that would have cold format, humanitarian pauses in the conflict, to allow aid to access the strip. how do you analyze those 2 seemingly contradictory statements? well we're in charge. that's probably the best use the. ready the in the last 11 or 12 days that you won't be able to move. she monitor in a across the border at russell. ready then it's more cybering to know that there's no not going to be seen monitoring phones even in those kind of context. in humanitarian settings, we can do what's called. ready the conflicts, so that names informing belligerence on both sides of the conflict of the geographic court. and that's where you 80 is and where it's going with the trust in that they will not target that particular area

evacuation of some foreign passport holders through the rest of border crossing area i spoke to richard brennan. hayes, the regional emergency director for the eastern mediterranean region at the world health organization. he said they hoped to stop moving humanitarian aid through that crossing by thursday. us we're in charge. that's probably the best use the best. ready in the last 11 or 12 days that you won't be able to move, she monitor in a, across the border at russell of course. then it's more cybering to know that there's no not going to be seen monitoring forms even in those kind of context. in humanitarian settings, we can do what's called. ready the conflicts, so that names informing belligerence on both sides of the conflict of the geographic court. and that's where you 80 is and where it's going with the trust in that they will not target that particular area and allowed the safe passage of the supplies. so i think it's very important to note that it's not just a matter of getting the supplies across rasa. the supplies that have to be distributed throughout the casa to the hospitals
