Its monday, october 16th. Early today starts right now. Good morning. Im phillip mena. Glad youre with us. Im frances rivera. This morning, the world waits with baited breath as israel could launch an invasion of gaza at any moment. One thing that could be postponing the promised military action, the evacuation of civilians. Just one hour ago, egypt was set to open its rafah Border Crossing to let foreign citizens out of gaza, including hundreds of americans. Lets go to Claudio Lavanga who is following the developments for us. Claudio, good morning. Do we know how the evacuations are going . Reporter good morning. There were reports that the rafah crossing in the south could have opened about an hour ago, as you mentioned. But at least so far there is no indication that has happened. Now we got a statement from the Gaza Media Office saying that they have no confirmation from egyptian authorities that that was going to happen at all, and attributed this information to what they call enmedia. We spoke to the office of the Prime Minister in israel who said there is no sign of a ceasefire that will allow foreign nationals to get out of rafah crossing and humanitarian aid to come in into gaza as it was reported. There was a report that there was going to be a fivehour crossing, but that doesnt seem to be the case for now. That could be only Wishful Thinking or a mirage. What we know is actually happening is 600,000 palestinians, according to the Israeli Military have already made a move from the north of gaza to the south as tracked by israel a few days ago. That is about half of the 1. 1 million palestinians expected to travel from the north to the south. There are some people, as you mentioned, that cannot evacuate, even if they want to. These are the patients in hospitals across gaza. Now four hospitals we know in the north of gaza have been rendered unusable, out of service by the air strikes, having sustained damage there. And israel has instructed 21 other hospitals in the north to evacuate, prompting a u. N. Humanitarian rights lawyer to call it a violation of humanitarian rights law. But even those who move from the north to the south, of course you know, you expect, you predict that is not a safe journey. The palestinians have accused the Israeli Military to target convoys of vehicles of people traveling on what they call were safe routes, or then safe routes by israel, killing people. Now the idf has not commented, saying that they respect International Law and they try to limit or protect human lives. Back to you guys. Thats the most important thing, all hoping to get out of harms way as quickly as possible. Claudio, thank you. The war between israel and hamas is causing tensions to rise all around the world.
