Begin on the border with gaza with the clock is ticking down to an Israeli Ground offensive, what negotiations continue to tried free more than 200 hostages being held by hamas and other militant groups in gaza. Sources say those negotiations appear to reached an impasse, with a mask demands for fuel. Israel says that is a nonstarter, at the same time israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu seems to have reassure troops who have been on standby for more than two weeks, the Ground Offensive is still on track with just one goal to smash hamas in retaliation for the militant groups attack on october 7th which killed more than 1400 civilians. Even before any ground incursion unrelenting israeli airstrikes have had a devastating impact on gaza, and more than 2 million palestinians who live there are now facing a dire humanitarian crisis. On tuesday, only eight of the expected 28 trucks crossed over from egypt. As the civilian death toll in gaza climbs, higher the Jansen Qatari GeneralAntonio Guterres is con for any mandy humanitarian ceasefire, bringing angry backlash from israeli diplomats. Guterres said the appalling acts of hamas to not just the highways collective punishment of the Palestinian People, and a delivered sofi to gas as a small match the enormous need. The humanitarian release is into gaza, but it is a drop of aid in an ocean of need. In addition, our human full supplies in gaza in a matter of days, and that will be another disaster. Without fuel, aid cannot be delivered. Hospitals will not have power. And Drinking Water cannot be purified, or even pumped. Humanitarian assistance from gazas coming by the rafah Border Crossing with egypt, with other israeli crossings remain closed. Now the images appear to show the additions or sealing the crossing point with cement slabs and between a convoy. Cnns Tom Abdelaziz has more on the civilians caught in the cross fire, and a, warning her story contains graphic images. Moments after an overnight strike in gaza, stunned survivors stumble out. People nearby rush to help. There is no ambulance, we have to get people, out the man shouts. Men dig with bare hands. It is dark, and dusty. The screams are jarring. Look at the, children look at the children, he says. It is sheer chaos, and carnage. This is the aftermath of just one of the hundreds of bombings that matter the strip, the scene captured by a journalist. Israel says, it is targeting hamas, and aims to wipe out the group, palestinians aid agencies say it is civilians that are dying by the hundreds. Drone footage shows entire neighborhoods already leveled by the near constant bombardment, nothing is spared. Schools, mosques, shelters, medical centers all struck according to the United Nations. Gaza is all too familiar with war, but has never seen it on this scale. And for survivors, there is a little life left here. Is now an orphan, but far too what did this little boy do . An Airstrike Hit his house while he was, sleeping as uncle says. His whole family was killed. He is the only survivor. Stop this. Stop this suffering. There are calls for israel to pause hostilities, but the idf is only ramping up its tax and preparing for what is expected to be a full on Ground Invasion of the enclave. They say they can endure no more. He says, nearly 50 members of his extended family are killed after they followed israels evacuation instructions. We were hosting our family from the north 50 to 70 people because it was supposed to be safe, he says. But at dawn, our home was bombed, we do not know what to do we have lost our minds. Gaza is play for relief. The cries of anguish here are so far unheard. The bloodshed wont stop. Some abdelaziz, cnn, london. Joining, us Elliott Gotkine is live for us from london, so, elliott the thing about gaza is just when you think things are about as bad, they tend to get worse. That is a shortage of fuel. Hospitals are closing, the agency says it will support incoming, hours and this is the crunch moment for gaza. John, just because things have gotten, worse it does not mean they cant get even worse than they are, now especially if and when this expected Ground Invasion takes place. We understand that at least six hospitals are closed already, the United NationsRelief Agency and Palestinian Refugee says it will half operations by this evening on wednesday evening, it does not get Fuel Supplies, a fuel is not allowed in from israels perspective, as weve heard them say repeatedly, if you will not be allowed into the gaza strip because it believes that hamas and other militant groups will simply take it, and used it to continue to fire rockets at israeli communities, and support their own war machine. But of course as he calls for a cease fire as the humanitarian situation gets worth and death rises in the gaza strip, is reaching deafening levels. We heard that u. S. Secretary general Antonio Guterres yesterday, calling on israel to engage to impose a ceasefire, humanitarian ceasefire. This really sparked a furious not simply for the call for the ceasefire, but because of some of the other comments saying that hamas is terrorist a tax of October The 7th did not have been in a vacuum, and they happened after 56 years of what he said, was suffocating occupation by the israelis. Thats worked a response from israels ambassador to the United Nations, calling on mr. Guterres to resign immediately, saying he is not fit to need the United Nations, and accusing him of tolerating terrorism. It seems from israels perspective right, now as we wait for this gravitation to happen, as we have been waiting for more than two weeks were to happen, that such is the diplomatic pressure for israel to not go into, do not make the situation or us on a humanitarian level. Israels problem is that it doesnt feel it has achieved an eighth of objectives. Its objectives are to specialists and there was a Prime Minister monumental in yahoo and attack on the scale of it it only to be the seventh to free the more than 200 hostages that are being held by hamas and militant groups. And Stop Rocket Fire from happening, it we of still seen and even just yesterday, there was an infiltration they said from a the tunnel into the seat north of the gaza strip, which the idf says it took out. So they are still infiltration, still rocket, Fire Hostages still being, how israel hasnt achieved its objectives, and against that backdrop despite a deteriorating humanitarian situation, it is hard to see how israel is going to sell some kind of humanitarian ceasefire to the israeli public when hasnt achieved any thoughts of objectives. John . Elliott gotkine live for us in london. Will the israeli message to the eu and has not let up until all hostages are released. In recent days, hamas has set free for women, to american, to israeli. Now we are doing more details about her ordeal in gaza, or she says hamas underground to a vast network of tunnels, she, said like a spider web. Details now from cnns bianca nobilo. It was a i could not have known. An 85 year old grandmother one of the two israeli hostages released by hamas monday night expressed not taking the hamas threat seriously. The lack of awareness by the idf and won three weeks before hand. They sent balloons, and the idf did not treat it seriously. Safely reunited with her daughter, she detailed the horror that unfolded in her home. All of a sudden on the saturday morning, everything was very quiet. There was a hard pounding on the settlement. I was kidnapped on a motorbike homicide, while they were driving towards guys are in the field. In the two weeks, she was held hostage in hamass Secretive Knit Work Of Underground upon her release, her testimony of the traumatic ordeal extraordinary, from core to displace humanitarian from her captors. When we got there, they told us they believed in the quran, and would not, harmless and they would give us the same conditions that they had inside the tunnels. For each of, us there was a guard. They took care of every detail. There were women who knew and they took care of everything there. She was released inside her female neighbor, but her husband remain solid in gaza. Her freedom, a relief for and glimmer of hope for the families whove loved ones remain as hostages under hamas. Her experience now a potentially critical insight into hamass spiderweb of tunnels, and behaviors, planning, and objectives of a group which shocked the world with our capabilities, preparedness, and brutality on October The 7th. We are not, below, london. And joining us now is christopher, Senior Vice President with the which advises both governments, and the private sector about global security. Hes also the u. S. Governments former director of hostage, rescue and recovery. Christopher, thank you for being with us. Good to be here. So a Hostage Negotiations between hamas and israel are taking place by qatar and egypt, cnn reports as part of the negotiations, hamas once more fuel allowed into the coastal enclave, according to a person familiar with groups demands. Israeli officials have made clear publicly, that is not negotiable. Explaining why. The government decision is a field is not going, because it will get stolen by hamas, and it will be used by them to power rockets that are fired into israel. So right now, are the odds pretty slim of any kind of breakthrough here . That is the bottom line of break free them if they dont . So yes. They are jammed either way. They have to continue negotiations of hamas, being very calculated on everything they are doing. The release of the hostages to this point, has been calculated. It is a ability of first to show some discord, and a little friction between the United States and israel. Now releasing two elderly israeli citizens, also creating some doubt within israel for the hostage families asking things to be delayed, so there is other opportunities but the negotiations of to continue for israel, it is an opportunity to get some small victories, but also to gather enough information and intelligence about where the other hostages are. Also, identifying all of them. Not all hostages or potential hostages are fully identified. So negotiations are an opportunity to gather information as well. There are you touched on it, these hostages of a number of Different Countries as and not all of them are being held by hamas other Military Groups like small number as, well scattered cross gaza. So how much more complicated this all of this make negotiations . It is quite a bit more complicated, and first off, it is more islamist and more radical than hamass, or the hamas probably change that calculus a little bit on but Palestinian Islamic jihad is an extension one out of egyptian you know, if you peel that back a, bit some of the founders of alqaeda came from the ig, and they are very militant, very islamist, and traditionally hamas has been a bit more nationalistic and with is lamost leaning on the that has been turned unattended in recent weeks. Trying to negotiate with hamas, who does not have control of all the hostages, it makes it much more challenging negotiation to try to get all of the hostages out at some point. And right now, more than 300,000 israeli troops arrested at the border with, cross that the idf says they are ready for a Ground Offensive. That level of readiness comes with a time limit. So, how much more time can these negotiations have from a Military Point of view . And it was the offensive begins, or the chances of rescuing the hostages . Any kind of operation . Going in the gaza is going to be extremely difficult and complex. Having spent time in places like and gaza is much denser because they had limited geography in gaza. They built buildings up where as if you look across the middle east, most middle east cities have, you know, buildings that are on average two or three stories with open rooftops. The family sleep on the roof during the holiday months. You know, gaza is much more complex, making any kind of Hostage Rescue very difficult. It is a three 60degree threat picture, and also has been widely reported, potentially hundreds of miles of reinforced tunnels, which is likely where all the hostages are being held. Christopher christopher, thank you for being with us, we appreciate your insights. Still to come on cnn, the u. S. Secretary of state is calling on u. S. Security Council Members to stop the u. S.
