Hello im john vause. The cnn center has just gone one i am here in atlanta. And we will begin with a rare, National Address of the oval office by the u. S. President. Urging all americans to stand firm with both israel and ukraine. Arguing that economic assistance to both countries isnt the vital interest of global security, and National Security. During his 15minute long speech, President Biden said while ukraine and israel face a very different enemy, the threat is this same. And they elation by tyrants and terrorists. Hamas, and putin represent different threats. But they share this in comment. They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy. Completely annihilate it. Biden announced congress for Ten Billion Dollars in Emergency Response for israel, Six Billion Dollars to ukraine. A day earlier by that was in tel aviv, and a dramatic show with israel to have humanitarian assistance into gaza. Lets go live with katie, standing by. Whats the reaction against the President Biden speech and his call for u. S. Leadership around the globe, and also, when were looking at it, the humanitarian assistance seems to be a key to winning support for israel and preventing this conflict from going into a wide, a regional conflict. Where does this all stand now . Morning job, yes, clearly bidens the chair was to address the issue of funding to israel and also the humanitarian situation and gaza, as you mentioned, was noting. We are still waiting to see if that border crossing, the Rafah Crossing Into Egypt is going to open today. That is what biden claimed as one of the success of the visit. They agreed to open this crossing. We have been hearing just in the past day that there are u. S. Officials familiar. There it may not be today, it may in fact be tomorrow so clearly, that is still underway. And part of this is about biden. Its a classic tactic really that biden has done before. Going on the ground, talking to people face to face, and trying to show that if he talks to people, he could come to some agreement. And that may impact how offense then unfold. That was the meeting of israel with netanyahu. At this address, came straight back to the u. S. Addresses people directly. The American People, and really he is putting to the American People that the importance of america playing a role on the global stage. Have a listen to what he said. American leadership is what holds the world together. American alliances are what keeps us, america, safe. American values are what make us apart of another nation that, they want to work with. To put all that at risk, and walk away from ukraine, we turn our backs on israel its. Just not worth it. Now, he is mentioning ukraine there as you did as well. Thats because really in the last few months, weve seen public support in the u. S. Waiting for funding ukraine weve seen justin a paul, back and augustus, air conducted by 55 over half of americans no longer thought congress should be providing aid to ukraine. Now obviously, the situation with israel is different but still opinion is not that unified. There is just 35 that agree that there should still be funding to israel, at this amounts, so clearly a lot still for biden to unite in the states as clearly the situation on the ground is escalating as we speak, john . Katie thank you. Katie live for us in london. The u. S. President was expecting trunks filled with supplies to begin crossing from egypt to gaza in the coming hours. Now, as you just heard, multiple sources tell cnn that the Rafah Crossing is not expected to open before saturday. Right now, thousands of trucks waiting on the egyptian side of the border. Aid groups, including the World Health Organization, said the moment the crossing is open. They will be ready to move. Our tracks are loaded, and ready to go. We are working with egypt, and palestine, and the societies to deliver our supplies and to gaza as soon as the Rafah Crossing is open. Israel has essentially sailed of gaza, refusing to allow and supplies of food, water, and fuel. Electricity has also been cut off. And will only be restored once hamas reaches all hospitals being held in the hospital. Who do add, humanitarian assistance crossing from egypt will be allowed into gaza. Providing it reaches civilians all night. The u. N. Says food stocks could run out in a few days, and people face a growing risk of waterborne illness. Doctors without borders says the main hospital in gaza, the chief of hospital in gaza city, earning enough fuel to run generators for another 24 hours. Getting humanitarian aid into gaza is just the first step. Serious questions are looming over the safety of the convoys, and how they distribute supplies. More details now from cnns brian todd. Well over 100 tucks, with Sue Egyptian Side of the Rafah Crossing into gaza. Stockpiles of food, water, and other aid to help displaced Palestinian Civilians have already arrived in egypt. President biden says he had secured in the agreement for the Rafah Crossing to be open. To allow as many as 28 tracks adverse into southern gaza. But aid Officials Say thats not nearly enough. You made to go in at scale, you need to start with a serious number of trucks going, and we need to build up to the hundred trucks a day that used to be the case of the aid Program Going into gaza. Meanwhile, inside gaza, the desperation mounts. Empty shelves, as food runs low. Long lines for the last remaining drinking water. Hospitals on the verge of collapse, no electricity, plunging the streets and to complete darkness at night. Gas stations nearly depleted. We have been here for nearly two days, trying to get water. And there is no gas. For god sake, have mercy on us. But once the aid trucks get, in experts say there are major challenges to get the supplies to those they need the most. Starting with bombed out roads. Roads need to be prepared there are major disruptions to the infrastructure. Then there is that hurdle of actually directing the aid trucks. Where did the trucks actually go in gaza . Will there be central areas where they can park and the supplies can actually be in a coherent measure, unloaded and provided without triggering chaos . Another huge concern while the humanitarian convoys of the aid workers be safe . It is impossible to deliver assistance when there is airstrikes and shelling. Israeli warplanes have already damaged the Rafah Crossing their weather aid trucks have been staging. Kevin the aid convoy be hit by an israeli airstrike . Now there is no safe passage of has been granted. And theres another security concern, the possibility that hamas, are other militants, might hijack the aid for themselves. At some point there has to be clarification as to what secure these trucks from any kind of intervention by parties that are simply not entitled to the supplies on those trucks. And the on the Ground Bureaucracy is also a major hurdle. There are sticking points over who transports the ad between the u. N. , the red crescent, and other groups. And eight monitors say part of the deal to allowed aid in, is that each truck has to be inspected to make sure there are only humanitarian supplies inside. Brian todd, cnn,. Washington now to jerusalem, and Communication Adviser with you and your Refugee Council. Thanksgiving with us. Thanks for having me. In what prepares for the borr crossing itself, is there any indication of when those repairs may be done, when the crossing may actually be permanent . I have not heard yet about when the crossing might be open, my understanding from the reports that i read today is that it does not seem likely that the crossing will open today. Regardless of when the crossing gets open, as was indicated in your last report, that air just before i came on, the most important thing is that once that aid gets in, that it can get safely distributed, and reach the people in need. With that in mind, heres a spokesperson what the u. S. State department outlining the biggest concerns that israeli have with humanitarian assistance entering gaza. Listen to this. That concern the Israeli Government has and they set a permanently, and privately to us. Is that assistance will be diverted when its in gaza. The people with guns inside gaza are hamas. So hamas may try to divert the assistance and keep it from getting to the civilians who it is intended for. Without wanting to be glib, here if you are pressing bet, sweater the chance of hamas not sees, this first amount of a, but whatever follows . I mean, i cant. Im not a betting person. I cant place bets. If but what i do know is that the humanitarian organizations operating inside of gaza, as well as u. N. Agencies have been working under difficult circumstances and gaza for the last 16 years of siege, and has developed mechanisms and tolson share that aid is not diverted, and are conducting Due Diligence to make sure that aid ends up in the hands of those who need it most. Can you explain that how that actually works . How can you be sure that hamas officials would not just take it . Im not able to talk about the details of how its done. Because we need to protect the procedures, and make sure that there arent loopholes develop to go around them. Israeli officials have, this total evacuation of Northern Gaza and the Refugee Council released a statement saying my colleagues inside gaza say there are countless people in the northern, parts of no means to relocate and under the constant barrage of fire. You can add to this, whatever is allowed into gaza when it happens, it will not be able to move north. So how many palestinians are stranded in the north . And how much worse is the situation about to get . I think estimates around hat 1 million or more people remain in Northern Gaza, we need to be able to sustain that need and reaches people many of those people are either unable to leave because of disability, illness, they have no place to go, and those people should not be restricted from receiving a, at what we need is there needs to be or at the very least a pause in hostilities so that it can be reached and be redistributed their. When the convoy does moville be a convoy of about 30 trucks filled with humanitarian assistance. 20 trucks throw 1 million displaced people thereabouts. And people who have been wounded. In a territory running low on food, fuel, and just about everything else. Hardly seems enough . No, it is not enough, as the u. N. , as you reported a, minimum of hundred trucks, each day in order to meet the basic needs of palestinians in gaza, the situation couldnt be more dire, each day up on the phone with my colleagues talking to them. Theyre asking for updates. Theyre disconnected from the world. They do not know what is going on. And each day, they ask is there and coming in, is the food coming in, and unfortunately, up until now the answer has been no. The situation could not be more dire, and we really need to be pushing that states need to be pushing the international need to be pushing, to get this to the people who need it as quickly as possible. Conditions are here, and conditions which could see this all come undone. The israelis can suspect that hamas has taken the shipments, there could be israeli airstrikes that disrupt whatever convoys go into gaza. It does seem tenuous at best. Its extremely tenuous. And we need assurances that it would be it will to be delivered safety in gaza, and be able to be distributed safely, otherwise there is no point and bringing aid in if it can reach the people who are starving, and in the name of clean, portable water. How have palestinians been surviving up until this point . Palestinians are using whatever they can to survive. We are hearing reports that only palestinians are consuming three leaders of water per day. Thats not just for drinking, thats also for cooking, for cleaning, for hygiene. The World Health Organization recommends at least 50 to 100 leaders per day. People are not only relying on the bare minimum, that they can use to survive, but theyre drinking unpalatable water, untreated water that is making it a serious possibility that people end up with infectious diseases. We have people in close quarters. And disease can be spread very easily in those close, and unsanitary conditions. People are relying on whatever they can. Days ago, my colleague told me that there was no bread available for him to buy france family. And he was searching for alternatives. Cookies, biscuits, crackers, to feed them. Its been five days i think since he told me that. And so, people are just coping with whatever they can, however they can, without electricity, without water, without gas to run their stoves. Its unbelievable that people are able to find ways to survive at this point. I cant imagine what will happen if this goes on in the longer. Thank you, from the norwegian Refugee Council. Thank you for your time. Thank you. A buildup of israeli troops and tranqs continues on the border. Expectations are growing, a grand vision of gaza is imminent. Prime minister netanyahu, and the Defense Minister met with troops along the border yesterday. Cnn crews in the area reported an increase in military activity.

Margin that they will not be able to get it. It will be a fire zone. No matter who are you. You will never be able to come close to the israeli border.

Today, whenever we have a problem, in every single place in the west bank, we are there. So thats what you will have been casa Going Forward . Gaza internal security. Remember, on the gaza strip. One, there is no administration. It has to be built. Another administration. But as these plans take shape, and crews begin to go into gaza, airstrikes are triggering International Calls for a humanitarian pause to ease civilian suffering. He rejects the need for a pause. We dont need to activate against civilians. But there are civilian collateral damage. In a war, in a war. [speaking in a nonenglish language] in a war, we do understand. And unfortunately, we have suffered. With a without a pause and strikes, 20 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid are expected to enter gaza from egypt soon. Against the scale of need, its a token.
