what i can hearing from san eunice where, where one of my colleagues is, is that it's just chaos and panic. i can see on the screen that you're showing people struggling to get bread. i've heard about these long bread lines. people are fighting over just small amounts of food. there's limited water, it's not potable. we're also hearing about shortages in medicine. doctors that borders reported that they have surgeons operating on people without pain killers or anesthetics because they just aren't supplies. the situation in garza, it's getting more and more dire. our colleagues are losing hope, as they feel like they can't go on much longer. that's what they're telling me, that it's just too difficult and they don't, all they want is a ceasefire. all they want is even if it's just 24 hours for them to collect their things, barry, the dead, find food, find resources, get aid in the situation. really is quite desperate for medical workers. there's even another challenge. um we've been hearing urgent calls earlier this week that hospitals are running out of fuel to run emergency generato

the uh desks and the casualties in the hundreds and hospitals in the over crowded hospitals in san eunice. um, so you're targeting a p as not to be about precise. i know in the country. i would suggest that the vast majority of our, if it's all focused and effective against, from us against the tourist organization. and i heard the dw, we're actually quoting, i'm us media. so you're crossing the propaganda machine of a, an organization that is putting a huge effort of psychological terrorism. so i, i would be very, very cautious in any figures coming out of a, from the, how much the machine applies. this is a very slow domestic situation. it is never that a war, a war on those that's care for life like israel, and those that have no regard for any life is riley or kind of thing you were showing. the view is not a map of the out in the was a humanitarian zone. in west con eunice, which the idea presented on wednesday, a tiny sliver of lines inside the tiny tennessee that is garza which is home to about 2000000 people. will that be say for me is really bombing and that is it as a designated
