The war on gaz is now its 21st day, the total death toll has crossed 7,300 at least 70 of those kill women and children, 34 journalists are among the victims, the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate as well, israel has laid total siege on gaza cutting off water, electricity, fuel and medicines to the territory. And for three weeks Palestinian Gaza have been witnessing heartbreaking scenes of devastation and death caused by israels constant air attacks every day and even every hour they pull dead bodies from the rubber laying to rest when children the residents in the seat strip are angry over the worlds silence and inaction. Its like the Nuclear Bombings of hiroshima. Theres no humanit left in the war. No one is standing by us. We havent slept since yesterday and we havent been able to pull anyone out. Out from under the rubble, in this house there were 70 to 80 people, Young Children still remain under the rubble, what have these children done . Did they kill israelis, they didnt kill anyone, they were just sitting safe in their homes and the whole residential block was brought down. All those who lived here were innocent civilians. The air strikes targeted our homes while we were inside them. Thank god we were able to emerge from under the rubble, god saved us, but there no homes left, nothing here. The on relief and works agency is warned about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the gauza strip, basic services are crumbling, medicine is running out, food and water are running out, the street of gaza have started overflowing with sich, gaza is on the brink of a Massive Health hazard at the risk of diseases, aluming, what is needed . Is meaningful and of uninterrupted air flow and to succeed we need an internces fire to win his e strikes are killing people, but many people are also dying as a result of israels total blocade, he said basic services in the palestinian territory are crumming, the onwa chief said, there have been in intense negotiations and endless diplomacy to open a humanitarian supply line, but it has only resulted in a handful of aid convoys, said gaz is being strangled and palestinians there feel sunned, alienated and abandoned, the comments comes people in the besege territory are facing acute shortages of food, medicine, water and basic necessities. Doctors say, they are only able to accept critical cases as hospital and intensive care unit beds are filled up with war victims, we were forced to release all previous patients during the war, and now were only admitting injured people. We have been experiencing severe shortage of capabilities in all departments and hospitals since before this war began and medical equipment and supplies are in short supply at the ministry of health. However, days after this aggression, our stock is early sufficient to meet the necessities of these patients putting their lives at risk. The lack of fuel poses another critical threat to the lives of hundreds of patients and care departments as it negatively affects the unattractable electricity and we are for. Minimize the mechanical ventilators in the unit, with all hospitals running out of fuel to power their generators, doctors have warned that critical equipment, like incubators for newborns risk stopping, the World Health Organization says a third of gaza hospitals are not operating, Doctors Without Borders has warned at gaza citys alshifa hospital, the lack of medicine and clean water has had to alarming infection rates, it says that amputations are off required to prevent infection from spreading in the wounded. Well the mayor of london, sad khan has broken ranks with his partys leadership to call for seasfire and he made the call during a video posted on social media, the terrible situation in gaza now look set to deteriorate even further, thousands of innocent civilians, men, women and children have already been killed, and its becoming impossible for aid to reach the people desperately need it, substantial military escalation now likely, which will. Deepen the humanitarian disaster. I joined the International Community in calling for seisfire. It would stop the killing and would allow vital aid supplies to reach those who need it in gaza. It also allow the International Community more time to prevent a protracted conflict in the region and further devastating loss of life. Can warned that a wid military escalation will only deepen the humanitarian disaster, adding that the regime does not have the right to break international law, the scottish labor leader as well as hundreds of the parties counselors and nearly a quarter of emps have also called for an immediate cessation of violence, this amounts pressure on labor leader kier starmer, he and the Ruling Conservative Party leader have so far resisted calling for total ceasfire. Starmer is also facing criticism by many voters across the country since appearing to give his support to israel, energy and presing us now from the british capital london, talk to us about this recent call for a ceasefire by and also about the possible backlash that this may have for the london mayor. Oh, indeed, bardia, who would have ever thought that the politician could be considered radical for simply causing calling for end to the bloodched . Absolute devastation of people, the absolute decimation of a population thats been held random for the past 17 years plus, it it beggers belief that hes a dride in the world labor man, i mean no one is ever accused sad khan of being particularly radical, but it seems this is how any idea that you haroting washington line, the line coming out of kinness in in the temporary entity, and of course coming. The war rooms of down street, then suddenly your own position could be at risk. Let me just put something to you, you mentioned very clearly that when you were introducing this piece, that he is following in step with the Scottish First minister uh, who has relatives caught up in this situation, he is following in the footsteps of shine leaders of people coming from ireland and from the ireland of ireland itself, in saying this is simply inhuman. To have anything else and even if we want to dress it up and call it humanitarian ceasefire so more aid can go in so you can patch people up so you can bomb them some more it seems this is the very bottom of what we come to expect from politicians and let me just draw the audiences mind back to something earlier this week the spokesson the british Prime Minister said sease fire would only be beneficial to hammas at this moment can you imagine the absolute brass neck it it takes to come out and Say Something that is a, so factually inaccurate, and b, simply propagandizing this conflict in a way that no leader has before, and then you follow that up with joe biden speaking on the white house loan, when he says quite clearly, we have to be skeptical about the numbers of deads coming out of gaza, that we shouldnt believe what is being told to us by the Health Ministry there, as if we cant see with our own eyes that when you bombad a population who are in unable to move anywhere. Thousands are going to die, and i feel completely ashamed and embarrassed for our government today, they are so out of step with people, there have been so many demonstrations bardia, and i know thats not the same as putting our lives on the line, but the people are speaking in a ugo, nearly 80 of brits say sease fire is needed now, what part of that doesnt richy sunak understand, an extra shame on sir, as a former human rights lawyer, to be instep with clear breach of international. Nation, but this is a disgrace and i think history will judge these men women, they really will. Thank you, joining us from british capital, moving on military wing of the palestinian resistance. And hamas has once again targeted tel aviv with barages of rocket fire in response to what it called the massacre of selines in gaza. Six is radies have been reportedly injured in the operation by thesam brigades the resistance movements rockets also hit the southern city, the regimes raim military base near the gaza strip. Also came under attack several cities including ashd and said have been targeted by the Resistance Group while israel continues to bombard the gaza strip 1200 israels been killed since. Resistance fighters launched operation flood on october the 7th in response to decades of israeli crimes and occupation. Thousands more israelis have also been wounded while over 200, including the regime soldiers have been taken captive. People across the world continue to stage rallies in support of palestinians. Thousands of angry demonstrators took to the streets in geordans capital to condemn the israeli atrocities in gaza and call for the dismissal the israeli. War against palestinians, egyptans also gathered in alazhar mask voice their support uh for palestinians, irakis took to the streets of the capital bagad for the same reason, several parts in the occupied west Bank Including and also ralied in solidarity of people of gaz, similar rallies were held in several other countries on thursday, including the us, india, belgium and spain, argentinas capital buenosaires too saw thousands of people marching on the Israeli Embassy to announce the regime. Author and journalist Arnold August says us is losing the propaganda war as huge crowds of people are turning out day by day and solidarity with Palestinian People. States is losing the propaganda war in the sense people no longer believe what the United States uh says with regard to socalled hamas atrocities the demonstrations that are taking place in the middle east and other in europe, in north america, canada, United States, people are not at all intiminated by this narrative that uh that israel that that has decapitated babies or. Any other socalled atrocities or so may up atrocities, so this is an important turning point, i think one of the result of this is as we speak today, there is something new since yesterday and today that apparently qatar is trying to broker a ceasefire between United States and hamas, which would include the release of hostages to israel, this is major breakthrough, and we remember only few days ago israel ordered all its media. Everyone had to say not to talk about seasfire, ceasfire is off the table, and now apparently they are talking about seasfire, so this if this is the case, i think its a major turning point in this war, and it is definitely a victory for hamas and the courageous Palestinian People, despite all the attempts to stop them from resisting, they are continuing to resist and have increase the number of supporters around the world by millions and millions. For more insight, were now joined by sandos, lebanese journals joining us from uh the lebanese capital beirot, also we have podcaster and journalist esha krishna swami joining us from conneticat, welcome to the program to the both, lets start with miss alassad uh in in the lebanese capital beirout, why is this war still continuing, why has the world failed the people of gaza . Well, thank you, entire world, entire aggression is being the Palestinian People has failed because which palestinians wont surrender to, the palestinians all together today on putting an end to this colonial, colonial temporary entity that has been besing the gaz strip for for more than for for approximately gates now. The palestinians wont repeat the the the catastrophe that happened in the 194 when they were forcibly expelled from their lands, so today they know the they know what the enemy is intending so and they are insisting to sacrifice their own their own blood, the blood of their their beloved ones in order to to to tell the world. About the atrocities and about the criminality of the designed enemy that is actually committing these genocides and atrocities based on the green light. That has been granted to them by the American Administration and the other other western countries, we havent seen any of the major powers, but complicit in this war against the palestinians even the socalled arab regimes, the the person regimes that havent even dared to cut, cut off the ties with the the occupation, right . Mr. Krishna swami in connetic bring you in on discussion as well uh the uh failure to to open a humanitarian quarter to get aid into gaza uh for the uh for those who are in much need right now of food uh and water and medicine uh this not happening basically falls on the shoulders of International Bodies like the United Nations and the United Nations Security Council which has failed implement such a thing uh what is the United Nations therefore if it cant stop the suffering. Of uh of place like gaza, the besieged uh cost encl that has been under uh total siege for six 17 years now, well obviously the un was created um right after world war ii when most countries like india and china were still under colonialism so its basically there to give a stamp of approval to us and british hegemony for the honest answer but yes uh the un in action in this case is horrific um because the gaza does not have water, recently i read a report where there was um, there was a big um shipment of grain into so that um the they could uh and this bakery apparently services lot of people at this camp and israel waited for the shipment of grain and then bombed this bakeries as to cut off the source of many people who were relying on it um and theyve had the block oh theres also no water. Electricity they cut off on purpose. Um, the ironic thing is that um, about 30 years ago with the first irak war, one of the biggest us propaganda was how sad hussein was throwing Incubator Babies on the floor, and we learned it was a live, but israel has actually cut all electricity to hospitals where there are in fact babies incubators who are going to have a hard time, so and all of this create intense suffering for the people. And over 700 people have died died, as far as we know, because of this policy and israels alleged goal of catching hamas, which allegedly only 14, so its clear what their actual intention is, is collective punishment on the population, and that is definitely a war crime that should be condemned, and the un should be doing everything, including sending peacekeeping troops, but of course we have the. One uh permanent member who will always vetew any resolution against israel and the United States in the un Security Council uh talking about the International Community and the lack of response United Nations how many more innocent palestinians have to be murdered basically for the International Community to say is enough . Okay we have to stop believing in something called the United Nations because the United Nations basically established in order to maintain the interest the. Colonial powers, those the United Nation is basically basically ruled by those by the by the us, the by france, by by the uk and the rest of other imperial powers that were occupying many of the countries, including west asia, including palestine, leban and other countries, so you dont have to expect from them to you to make. Justice to your causes, those this mock group that is called the United Nations will only preserve the interest of the zionist occupation, will only just its only succeed in expressing its condemnation, but we havent actually seen any of its resolution that has ever been serving our oppressed people here in west asia, those uh have you know that the the upper tide zionist regime is dysfunctional regime that serve the hegemony of the American Administration and the rest of colonial powers, so what is being committed in past time, the atrocities, the ethnic cleansing that is being committed now, it doesnt bother the those powers, so they dont have, they dont, we dont expect from them, the only way for liberation, the only way. To to ease this suffering of the palestinian of us here and of west asian is only the option of resistance, the arm resistance. So we dont expect from the United Nations to to support us or to do us justice. Miss krishna swami, would you like to add anything to that, and also in addition, um, i want to get your thoughts on the issue of accountability, there has to be consequences for the for the crimes that the israeles are committing, the collective punishment of innocent palestinians in gaza, the death of over 3ous children, 70 of the so far 7300 casualties are. Women and children, we have to see accountability for that. Um, ideally, yes, there is nobody that will do that, and so far, all cases of accountability have been through peoples movements and so unfortunately there, unfortunately there is nobody that will do accountability, what, and israel of course is continuing their policy and their. Has been moving more and more extreme to the right since in the last 40 years, so its going to get harder and harder to get israel to changes policy, unless the ones who are arming israel and supporting them with aid will cut it off, and that th
