As the tower has been level on top of the witnesses, theyre saying that they can hear sounds of people and they want theyre trying to bring them out. But this time the rest club has had to there now with other get so who is uh, the situation is terrible at the same time, the entire port to the entire uh, all the buildings on the shore of the gods. Its just because then why did oh nice yes. Today she would read them again has been either bombardment test the 1st day they had one was we bombarded by again, was talking about the big areas were talking about gaps. Me for me to the neighborhood being targeted over and over and over, pounded with air strikes and turn off a lot of the head of the civilian. Even though youre saying the rescue is of finding it very difficult to reach people that are being bottomed in side the buildings for people who can sit guess out for the survivors who can escape the college. The where do they go to vibrate to kansas. K and the survivors who kinda escape escape the village. You cant escape people. People literally talk the people are literally either in hospital or on the school that has been extremely over. No, did i . Ive just been speaking to um, a bus da da da da all simmons general spokesman of the nature of health. And he was telling me that not just the hospital or for the capacity of the owner, what school over know, did he told me that the be the number that a the last number was over a almost 200000 people. But until this morning they had reached at 300000 people. And more you told me that there is no, we dont even have the ability to, to, to cope with which county the people who are, who are uh, trying to take shelter either in hospitals or Interest School or at try within a apartment or, or other neighborhood the problem is that, laura, there isnt one place that its safe. Now we got the, i mean, yesterday was like on a personal locker. We werent really tell operations from there. So many families were in the hotel that they have to move out of their neighborhood. Because this hotel has always been the thesis place, a previous choice yesterday at 2 am in the morning, we got a call or they got a calls and told them to totally evacuate the area because the entire overdue things on the board side wouldnt be bombarded at everyone, were talking about evacuation in the middle of the night. While there is no electricity, because it is under deep darkness. We woke up today in the morning with no water in the tops. Okay, im in my, im in my, in my apartment with my children to spend the night in the basement today. I was afraid to take them to the resource house because of the arguments that were going on or in the year around the ports area. So we spent the night in the 80, the, in the basement. Uh, we came up here. Theres no water, theres no s p a d. And theres no intern that we dont have why fi, internet anymore. So were, were, were cut out of the world. I wasnt able to contact anyone, no one is able to contact me. This is how this situation is. Youll notice on an absolutely horrific situation and completely on it and habits of all this siege. The israel has laid its a gauze on top of the continual as strikes the bombardment that its suffering. This is now as you say, its cost off electricity. It costs off water supplies, also food and fuel. Garza is only surviving power plants has reported just a few by minutes ago, but it only has around 10 to 12 hours of fuel of electricity. Less than an off to that. Youll know what happens after that if there is no fuel entering this check, we dont have electricity at all, or its as simple as that floor out. There is no candy. I was just thinking to talk to them a check on that. And he told me this, the extra fuel that they have for the hospital, for emergency situation, we left for 2 more days. And then they were on out to fuel. Destiny is that if this is, he told me it truly, this is an emphasis done to crisis, but we have never seen in the history before. If in 2 days we do not have jo. Well, for our talk to told everyone is going to die all the patients under or who need electricity for uh, for uh, for, for any kind of, uh, uh, medical machine, uh to station lines are going to die. Its as simple as that. Theyre running out of compliance, theyre running out of medication. Theyre running out of all the city in the, in the hospital he told the i asked him about the capacities all hospital he said entire hospital. And now this trip in this trip was take 2000 patient beds, 2000 that he said, we have 3000. 00 injuries now. And in the if i its only 2000. He told me we put an extra 700. 00 bed or oh so in a ship for extra um for extra people to come in were sending out all night and motors injuries were sending them out. But now we cant even something not. Were just sending them out of them on the premises of the hospital, into the yard, to stay there where theyre taking shelter. Yeah, and this is exactly how the situation is. The situation here many carrying into a human per your crisis is worth the research. Describe it so much worse then. Then, then what people can imagine, what even what the pictures show me. The reality is, its far worse than that. Were waking up on, on, on the, on the glass structuring on us, on explosions, every now and then just every now and then days of a watchman. Theres a big fire out of it. Then theres smoke ceiling, the area and, and adoption. This is how the situation is laura. Extremely indescribable. You, im not thank you for trying to describe it to us, that youve done an excellent job of bringing us the view on the ground. As we look at the view from over the rooftops, we can see from the pictures the continual rises of smoke as yet another building. Another neighborhood is targeted by these is really strikes you on the outside of correspondence in garza, on the ground, experiencing these strikes for a 5th day. Now thank you very much. Will, as she was saying, there is fair across the humanitarian strip of the gaza strip of a humanitarian crisis as human. This said no food, also oil fuel can enter because of israel, sage russell sorta has this report of the building of the Building Block after block. So are now live. How many people, whose site, including children and elderly, did not have time to escape by me. Day on tuesday is rad had boomed nearly 2000 locations in the density populated guys, us 3 and promising tests i used to sold, leaving the 2300000 palestinians living there, with nowhere to go. This sorry, i may get this the whole and then just use them is really army made a phone call to a person who wasnt here. He was in el reno, we came running and they told one of our neighbors that the building has to be evacuated. Where should they go . They said they can go to the see, the people started running and suddenly we heard and explosions on it. My brothers 2 children were standing in the doorway. I said they were killing you. On monday, these ready to pass the minister announced the complete siege of the guys a straight cutting of supplies, if electricity for you, food and water. On the, on relenting bombardment of homes, communication towers, hospitals, roads, and most has become a date or curious. The amount of touch them are area over mileage place area. When i came here, i didnt recognize as its completely destroyed. Well, the features of change is unfair terrorism. Theres no humanity, families here live in peace and do not have any links to anything. What happened was revenge a crime. People are searching for survivors on the problem. Know where its safe and there is no where to go. They say, no, no, no, no. We all told to evacuate the eastern parts of sun eunice, and go to a safe place. But there is no safe place and because a string of these hospital in the car is understaffed, and under the number of people arriving here, needing treatment keeps growing. Some of these childrens parents have died. Many dont know yet how much they have now theres a real mess. It could be and committed against innocent civilians in a separate area there with dozens effective and ambulances and civilian vehicles, still evacuating victims from this house that was directly targeted. Joe noticed reporting on the front lines of this war have also become targets. They like menu of guys or spaces or no gun. Whatever these right, a strikes have already killed hundreds of people and injured thousands of people in does a fear. The worst this steve to come. This was to have that. Oh, to 0. Well, jennifer austin, as a Deputy Director of the you and when a thing works agency for palestine refugees and gaza. She told my colleagues over vania that the unprecedented scale of humanitarian aid is now needed. In garza, weve got supplies for 12 dice for food and water for those people. And but you know, theres more than those people that are in our schools as paper sheltering in other places. This paper sheltering with family and friends. So theres many more displays that are going to on your schools. 12 days of food and water that you have left, you say you have a 170000 people roughly closer 2880000. I believe people in your facilities are people continuing to arrive . Yes, the rocking arriving. They scared theyre coming. Theyre arriving either not we, its really difficult for us 0 to get numbers to get specific numbers until the next day until we see whats happening. Because, you know, it rides have blocked out. We dont, we dont have to, well, we dont have telephone lines as a, i chest is down. No pattern. You know, weve had networks hit the button via strikes. So our network button then we, we, its really difficult for us to know on the ground whats happening out in the areas. And we rely on our stuff. Our excellent staff who were going out to themselves are refugees. And thats what might have lost their time. They might have themselves be in a shelter. They might have lost family and theyre going out and doing. They were providing the services for refugees. So were providing health services, crypt, clue critical loc saving health by providing mental her health and social services for the rest of jays who are in the shelters. Were also providing water, will we just not Drinking Water but water . Well, water for and in the can. And you know, were doing what we can to the refugees, but its really difficult, difficult times. And its really not unprecedented situation that were facing. Can any guns in the family come and see shelter in the on or off facilities a. Are you turning anyone back that we dont turn anyone away on the do not home principle we we expect anyone that dont have to be a refugee that can be a non refuge and we will not turn it away from it onto a school. Old civilians are welcoming our schools to sick safety under the un blue flag. And just before i let you go, no one has been through wars, high intensity wars and periods of bombardment before. How does this compare with the previous wars . This doesnt even come of course. Um, you know, i are on compound here where im calling from we would, weve been in a bunker for 6 hours yesterday, completely bombarded around us at how infrastructure here is just about down we and, you know, and we are, we are relatively site here compared to the, to the paperless, gaza, this is just it and now stuff. And the people who have been here a long time, theyre all signed. But this is unlike anything that theyve ever seen before. Intensity is on, is just on price it into the situations involving its ongoing and it could be even going for a very long time. Okay, lets talk to a correspondent, rob rental. So he joins us from that came in the southern israel, thats near the gauze of boulder and robust, interesting, particularly where you are, because weve seen this 1st delivery of us, i munition arriving in israel. And this is all part of a build up has net for a potential Ground Invasion of gauze that well see you seeing that. But what were seeing here is the movement of, of troops. We saw just a few minutes ago, a large number of is really vehicles carrying, packed with, with troops moving in that direction. Moving in that direction, moving in various directions. We dont know if they are moving in a response to a specific threat or. Ready or incidents, but they are certainly in evidence everywhere. In addition, there is the a tank which fires sporadically quite close by uh towards garza so uh, the, the, the ammunition garage continues. In addition to the uh, air strikes that, that are correspondence and guys that have been telling us about it in such and such graphic and, and uh and uh, disturbing detail um the cargo plane was loaded with what was described as advanced military equipment that wasnt specified exactly what that, that advanced military equipment was, but this is a plane, the flu directly from the u. S. To israel. Of course, it is part of the us pledge by President Joe Biden to do everything to stand behind israel and the United States would, would, would help israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the plane on is really soil with a video tape been released by the ministry of defense here. Again, its not clear exactly what the advanced military equipment that was. But in other incidents nearby is really just rece very recently is really the is really ambulance service. Said that it after the sounding of sirens and cigarettes, which is city quite close to the guys of border, they was evacuated, a as a so one person a 40 year old male who was wounded by shrapnel, take it to a local hospital, other clashes and firefights have occurred in and around this area as well. Indeed we had a whole firearms of rockets, 5 by hamas from gaza hits or something said he had asked colonial c on tuesday. All people evacuating a more people evacuating from that area and southern as well. Now. It doesnt seem to be a mass evacuation, i think its, its a trickle as a people in this area and in cities like ask a lot, make up their own minds of maybe the family gets together and decides. All right, maybe we should leave for a few days or, or longer, but i see no signs of, you know, people being martialed into buses or, or, you know, a, taking out, taken out in large numbers. It seems to be the car by car family by family, that sort of thing. Its a different story in the areas that are close to the gods. A border of their people have been evacuated, told to do so by the israeli army. And that, again, getting around to the, to the 1st question that you ask, this seems to be in preparation some ground to solve, which will happen in some, for some intensity at some date, but probably soon. Okay, reynolds bring us the latest the from southern israel. Thanks very much, rob. Lets now move to the mox, hes joining us from west until the 17th and a mess talks about the politics of all of this for a name, and how close is Benjamin Netanyahu to full me across the policy full time cabinet. Hes been trying to do this from day one of the thats true. And as of late monday night, when he gave a public televised address to these rated people, mister mcneil, who called for a unified government without pre conditions over the course of yesterday, there was a lot of back and forth involving members of his policy members have is coalition far right policies, as well as the political position there in israel, many of them trying to figure out what those preconditions might be that Mister Netanyahu would like to avoid. It seemed very clear over the course of several hours yesterday afternoon in particular. The members of in party could deposit administers were very critical of the National Security minister, a head cold. Its an up and give and they said that he was being obstructive in the formation of this political union. And yet we are understanding that over the next hour or so, laura, any guns, the form of defense minister who was meant to be meeting with and thats and yahoo last night. He likes to be sitting down with a probably minutes to try and figure out the details of an emergency government. He of course, as form of defense minister as former chief and stuff these ready all me is a highly respected minute 3 strategist here in israel. Many members of the public team to see him involved. And of course, for mr. Not me all. Who a lot of this is going to be about having political cover. That will be some very difficult moments ahead for these really minute 3. And these really citizenry is a Ground Invasion takes place in goal, is that we can expect very large numbers of all tablets, these amongst the security forces. And when that happens, Mister Netanyahu will be looking to make sure that he has a significant amount of support, not just from his own political allies, but from his opponents. So that he can essentially say this would be the decision made in unit 2. 0, one area that he can certainly be so of support from is the us villain. The tell us about a phone call between an s and yahoo and go buys. And yesterday on tuesday of the yes, laura, theyve been several of those conversations between the u. S. President and these ready Prime Minister there was another one yesterday off to mr. Bite it and gave a speech expressing support for israels position, describing what he called the barbarism of the mass of times on saturday. I didnt find that to me all who had a video of his side of that conversation, at least 2 minutes of it, released publicly in which event president biden, for his support. Im told to about that being best. Todays a head at some point, but at the moment a very, very full political power over him. Having not support, certainly for a man with whom he is not always the night to why on policies in the west bank and elsewhere and in the region, its going to be very helpful to him politically. To know that at least the United States is willing to support him and the by the ministration offerings a pull as you decide from rub. Okay. The marks. So any is that from western limit, thanks very much. Send them for the update. Well keep an eye out for that meeting between bunny guns and the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the coming hour or so. Thats go live now to child stratford. Hes joining us from i stalled in the southern israel and charles, even speaking to his rileys that about this whole situation in the aftermath of the terrific attacks by him us on saturday. And they were tally ation on gone, so that we are now seeing what are they telling you about that . So its really interesting, laura, how the sentiments of people have changed over the last 3 days or so the people at least we, weve spoken to, it started with completion of the shock and then went to discussed and it is now increasingly going into anger is what it needs of saying the purchase, theyve seen that elderly, theyve seen the young being kidnapped. Theyve seen the body is theyve seen the riffing pictures in the places that we visited just as a kibbutz like covered as of which so many is ready and civilians were killed. So yes, many that we are speaking to uh, buying for blog and revaluation, some really quite shocking quotes. I mean, would you like to just be in speaking to a gentleman here . And in his words, he said weve just got a flat to the place. You know, no problem, a tool with coughing with, with uh, with cutting electricity with, you know, costing power and food. In his words, he said we should just blinding them off and shoot the major. Referring them to home us, gwendolen, and to say that israel and his understanding tends to much about what the International Community so to speak, thinks about this country. And he said that is why this has happened. And we spoke to somebody else who said, but you know, if the palestinians wont blend, then well gladly fight them in a war, but do not take all women and children do not take young until them. So its these kind of sentiments that wow, so worried. So frightening because it shows that they sit tech on the scale, theyre generating height. Even more height of coal style has implications here for potentially generations to come. Okay, tell stratford bringing us to view that from southern israel. Thanks very much. Charles. Now the occupied westbank is being described as a prison. That solves this really on a blockades is never on con is down and joins us live from romano. So i wanted to explain to us just how is where youll start to use a location in the west bank. Well, they doing it from with a 2 pronged strategy. Firstly, theyve cut off the west bank from the outside world completely. None of the check points are open that allow you to lead from say, example ramallah into jerusalem. The out of the boat across thing which gets you from the outside westbank into jordan is completely shut that severely International Boat across like there is full palestinians, so they all control from the rest of the world. But not just that, that cut off from within the westbank as well, you cant get from one to to another. And this is becoming a very big problem for the palestinians, particularly people who are watching the events in gauze and wondering if vag garden to be. Next is a lot of notice the say across the occupied westberg. No, its about 10 remodeler, but in other parts of the west bank of the small towns and villages to keep near israel, the stone field on food and water. They looking at this effective blockade. Im thinking to themselves a windex. Is this whats going to happen to us is whats happening and goza. Its going to come to us. Some problem is the Benjamin Netanyahu. Uh, 2 days ago said it doesnt end with gauze, and thats made the very nervous. But lets take a closer look at whats going on. 6 okay, im going to going back up on to the uh, the one the, the occupied westbank is now not only occupied its effectively located these really, um, it has turned it into an archipelago separation. You call and leave your home to go visit family or friends, and then they bring area 3200000 palestinians. A simply stuck the show. I left the 10 minutes ago. I am sick, but theyre not letting me in. This is was the when we used mules to move around in the old days. Now we cant even get anywhere. Wed cause this is really falls of also severely restricted. The board with jordan, the crossing part of the policies, went to travel abroad, leaving thousands, trying to say, hey, leah is the head of settlement monitoring of the applied Research Institute to slip. The specializes in these rel system of checkpoints and restrictions on palestinians, but more thats just the going to be. The west bank is surrounded by more than 560. 00 so
