Allie coghan is covering all the development and joints as. Going to have you with as. Israel has been striking jazz a. It has already carried out some raids. What can you tell us about this next stage of this war . Reporter since hamas launched that devastating and brutal Terrorist Attack that killed more than 1300 people in israel, it has been a question of when rather then if israel goes in on the ground as you say it has had already cowed carried out a couple of raids, to carry out reconnaissance missions. This Ground Invasion is expected now to be imminent and that of course is one reason why it was telling gazans in the northern part of the gaza strip specifically in gaza city to evacuate towards the south to get out of harms way in order to minimize civilian loss of life. Hamas of course which runs the gaza strip has been telling gazans to ignore these is really warnings but most of them have been erring on the site of believing in the israelis and moving towards the south. We have of course seen those reports of strikes hitting us and more civilians losing their lives as they have tried to move south but the situation right now is that israel is continuing to carry strikes. Just in the last few minutes, we have been hearing more reports of strikes and it has been targeting commandandcontrol centers, and he tout antitank Missile Launchers and also command centers palagi to Islamic Jihad and specific militants. Among its targets which it succeeded in hitting overnight was the target of one of the commanders of the hamas Commando Unit that it holds as principal responsible for that attack a week ago, just over a week ago. Linda . Lynda and israel has told residents in the north to evacuate and head south in gaza. Some people using that socalled safe passage announced by israel around this time yesterday were killed. We know the death toll in gaza is rising. Just described as the humanitarian disaster that is unfolding right now. Reporter it is unfolding and it is getting worse and probably with this expected Ground Invasion, the humanitarian situation and also the civilian loss of life, but also rise will just because hamas is also embedded in the civilian population. We know that there are eight . At the egyptian Border Crossing with the gaza strip that are unable to get in just yet. And that is also preventing the alleviation of the humanitarian situation, the World Health Organization for example saying that asking, you know, residents or people evacuating Gaza Hospitals is equivalent to a death sentence. So there is a growing concern not just from International Aid organizations but also from the International Community about the unraveling of the humanitarian situation there, lynda.

Lynda with us now, is schendelaar, Communications Adviser at the newly those norwegian refugee council. Thanks for joining us. Thank you for having me. Lynda i understand you have a team in gaza, many of whom have had to flee from the north to south. What are they telling you . How are they doing it . I mean, life is a struggle for all palestinians in gaza, just moments before i got on this call, was speaking to my colleague in those who had relocated to the south of gaza after playing with his family. He said theres a complete shortage of bread, bread lines are two hours long and now he is looking for alternatives to feed his children. Finding other basic needs like water is proven to be incredibly difficult. He also told me that last night, despite him being relocated in the south, that there were airstrikes near him and just to prove that, you know, there is no safe place in gaza, the israeli authorities have told palestinians in gaza that they need to flee to the south for their safety. But as was indicated in the report just before i started speaking, some people were killed while trying to make that journey to the south and others are still facing bombardments even once they are relocated to the south. Lynda yeah, it seems nowhere safe right now. But for those in your team, how many are going south . How many are Staying Behind and for those Staying Behind, what are their reasons . Im not sure entirely the breakdown between those that fled and those that stayed behind. I do know that we have a handful of staff that at least that have stayed behind. Some because they have nowhere to go in the south. They are worried because theres a lack of facilities, able to accommodate mass influx of people. Others are having trouble even finding transportation because the size of their families is so large. I have heard about colleagues who have been forced to flee on foot. Other colleagues who have not been able to leave because of sick relatives and needing to try to get them treatment at hospitals in the north. Theres a of reasons people are not moving and on able to leave. Lynda of course, even before this work gaza was facing a humanitarian crisis. The poverty rate over 50 . Onethird of the residents living in extreme poverty. Described the work that your team have been doing on the ground now and what will happen in the coming days. Prior to this last week, our team was focused on providing cash support to families in need, helping to repair substandard housing for and bring it up to standards. Helping to work with children to help them improve academically and overcome trauma that they face due to conflict or displacement. For the last week, we have been unable to do any of that work. It is just simply not safe for our colleagues to be out in the field working with people, providing aid to those in need. That is why we desperately need at least at the very least a humanitarian laws, and humanitarian orders to be established so that we can go back out and do the work that we do, providing assistance to vulnerable palestinians and now i think we just see how much greater our workload will be once it is fairly safe for us to be able to go and serve palestinians in gaza. Lynda we know israel supplies are basic necessities but after the hamas terror attack, it stopped the flow of food, water, fuel, electricity. Do you have any indication of the reserves in gaza in terms of food and clean Drinking Water . I mean, we have seen that theres already worries about waterborne illness from people being forced to drink brackish water in agricultural wells. Are with us morning to you has announced that basically with the fuel that remains inside of gaza, 48 hours or so, at hospitals will know longer be able to operate. It is a crisis with us even our own just bringing it to a personal level with our staff, the lack of electricity and peoples reliance on generators, which are quickly running out of fuel and solar means that head counts which used to take 50 minutes to check in with our staff are now taking four hours because of the difficulties with people having their phones charged, being able to connect to mobile networks. I mean, life in gaza was challenging was only about 12 hours or 14 hours of electricity per day for those in good in socalled, terms. Now we are facing a complete blackout and the inability to those for people to get basic necessities but i think food, from what i understand, the stocks on the shelves are quickly being depleted and there needs to be an influx of food and water and electricity and fuel in order for this civilian population of 2. 3 Million People to survive. Lynda you are an american in East Jerusalem it. Give us a sense of the feeling, what are you hearing . How is life there change in the past week . Oh, i mean, the situation in my neighborhood, my neighborhood is a bustling, bustling neighborhood. It is very busy. I have a school at the end of the street. For the last week, it has just been eerily quiet. Early in the week, it was punctuated by sounds of the iron dome intercepting rockets. Now what i hear besides the eerily quiet and this is often just the sound of war planes going overhead, heading towards gaza or surveilling the area. Life here does not feel normal. It feels that people are anticipating the worst. When i go to the supermarket, all of the shelves are stocked. Theres the patients of all of kind of the basic pantry items, rice, grains, beans, those shelves are empty. And i think as soon as they fill them up, they are being depleted again because people are anticipating that this could go on for a long time and want to make sure that they have enough food to take care of their families, even here in jerusalem.
