unfpa along with other humanitarian arms including the red cross have dignity kits at the ready at the egypt. we hope the good offices of all concerned will result in an opening of that corridor so that supplies can come in. for people who are trapped in the north as well, for women with disabilities, or women who have had high blood pressure complications, they need that medication by drip. they are not going to be able to move. we insist the health facilities be protected zones. is it surprising to you that it has taken so long and still no humanitarian aid order has been established? what i have to believe in and we have to offer hope to people who are caught up in a crisis not of their own making is that the dialogue process, the peace process, which is the fervent wish of everyone that has caught up in this situation right now, they respected. i am surprised because as a physician myself, as a leader of a reproductive health group, unfpa, we know that pregnancy is actually a sacred time for the mother and the unborn child, so i really do expect that all actions will be taken to pr

i am surprised, as a physician and as the leader of a reproductive health group, the unfpa, we know thatgnancy is a sacred time for the mother and the unborn child. i really do expect that all options will be taken to protect people for minute by minute trying to breathe, trying to get precrisis. i will also say -- get through a crisis. i will also say that from the perspective of movement of people, there are times and circumstances where the sacrosanct quality of a woman in labor must be respected. this is one of those times. >> thank you for joining us. the israeli army says it is evacuating 28 towns and villages within a mile of its border with lebanon because of threats of rocket fire with hezbollah. overnight, israel carried out more strikes on southern lebanon, targeting infrastructure belonging to hezbollah. this report is from the israel-lebanon border area -- border. >> a family says goodbye to their fallen soldier, murdered by hamas. her grief over her nephew's death is still wrong. -- raw. now she is packing to leave. it is not safe. >> the bangs are serious. it is scary. i h

and as you noted, there are over 1 million women and girls in gaza, and the unfpa and i are extremely concerned for gaza's 50,000 pregnant women who right now cannot access the basic maternal health services they need, they're facing a double nightmare. and as you referenced, the health care system itself in gaza is crippled. and these pregnant women that we are seriously concerned about have nowhere to go. they're facing unthinkable challenges. >> let's talk about those challenges. even if you, you know, put aside the danger from bombing, which is still huge, the lack of food, water, electricity, when you're pregnant, what kind of threat does that pose to their health and their unborn child? >> exactly. and of these 50,000 women, we expect that 5,000 of these will give birth in the coming month. imagine having been displaced from your homes, fearing for your life in shelters right now with very little food, very little water, very little fuel and with little access to the health care they need. some of these pregnant women will suffer complications. they are anticipated to do so. so
