[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the, the state of the news log from berlin, israel, his targets across the gaza strip, including an air strike on a densely populated area on the south region. israel had told people to relocate to a mass media report, several people killed or wounded. and the black, coming up a deliveries for gas

r and stand by following intensive diplomacy. israel and egypt agreed to allow limited supplies to reach palestinians, even as israel keeps up, their strength and hostages relatives fleet for their safe return. more than 200 people were abducted by a loss during the terrorist attacks. friends and family ask these really government to prioritize their release. the article fairly, it's good to have you with us is really forces to have continued to strike targets in gaza throughout the day, including in the south of the territory where israel and told gardens to head for their own safety. one explosion in southern costs are killed and injured. several people including children. i mean the wounded were taken to a hospital in the territories,

densely populated. city of con eunice reports say at least 4 people were killed. last plains is really airstrikes for the casualty. and the domain of course, one of my son joins, is now from jerusalem, not so it started with those is really airstrikes in the south of gaza. this part of the territory was supposed to be safe. what is this real saying about the incident to write the call? so the idea says that it will strike targets across the entire gaza strip. be at the north or south, wherever there is a threat to buy from us. and there is a likelihood that the, the idea of formal targeted and this is especially worrying for you, those people among the 1100000 people were living in the north of kaiser. and many of those have followed the idea of advice or order to vacate that area and move to the south. because this was regarded as a rather safe area. now, there have been strikes in the, in the southern region today. i'm in the area of eunice and major city and then

southern garza, and also i'm in a very other very sensitive area around the roof of border crossing the border crossing with egypt. where at the moment, when the other side on the egyptian side, trucks are waiting with a much needed distributed terry and aid that is supposed to go into gaza as of tomorrow. in addition to that, there are people in gaza. those with the dual citizenship are foreigners that are hoping to be able to leave through the roof of border crossing. if this area continues to be, target is not clear if that is going to be possible. and israel's defense minister has been visiting troops on the positive border. that is correct to is really defense minister to lunch. i made a visit to the south of israel today and carried out an assessment of the troops and made an announcement which i like to quote um, he said whoever sees guys are from a far now we'll see inside. so essentially it sounds like he is preparing troops

for and long term of painted and looks like an eminent ground offensive. he. she also added that to this offensive could take a very long time. this may take a week, this may take multiple weeks or even months. he said, now turning to diplomatic efforts on the hills of jo vines visit on wednesday, we've had more visits from international meters today. that's right, so throughout the day and this to begin with, we had the visits of u. k prime minister wishes to neck. um, he came to israel and met with our prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and he reiterated you case support for israel emphasize that israel has the right to defend himself. and he also mentioned the gardens people in gauze, and he said are also victims of homeless. and also said that he supported israel's on that israel is not blocking aid from it because the plan to block 8 to come in from from, from egypt that is in addition to that,

there was another high profile visits from germany, the german defense minister, but was just totally as came after meeting with german troops in 11 on or part of the piece of commission. they're getting an assessment of the situation with an in the region. he met with his counterpart kalonde here in israel today, and emphasized reiterated with a child sort of shows already had said during his visit to germany stands with his real stance with israel's right to defend itself. he said he believes a ground offensive, or he's had a ground defensive is part of israel's right to defend itself. and that he believes this way out of state of ways. my son in jerusalem, thanks for that. israel says more than $200.00 people were taken hostage by how lost during the terror attacks earlier this month. that includes the elderly but disabled children and even babies. hostages countered in southern israel and

taken to gaza are likely to be used as a marketing tool. there's a strong families, are pressuring these really government to prioritize their safe return on a wall outside the is really defends ministry in tel aviv. and on walls across is real. the images of those taken and missing. these are the government most focused, 1st the for one, doing whatever is necessary. you know that to release the hijacked people in the october 7th attack, come off terrorist killed indiscriminately and it kidnapped civilians, soldiers, the elderly, disabled, and children. so many children. now the hostages are somewhere in the gaza strip or under it in the untold hundreds of kilometers of tunnels. tomas has built now to be lots of effort putting to coordinating identifying load casey,

where the hostages all being tapped as much as possible. and of course, in the background, this talk of potentially hostage rescue attempts, but these are very, very dangerous options with no way to guarantee chances of success. what, how much recognizes scott walker says, is that is we all has consistently prioritize the safe return of their citizens. so you can add the vin case in point the 19 year old is really soldier, held by him. us for 5 years is we'll got him back by giving up more than a 1000 palestinian prisoners to home us. they always want to take captives. they know what captain's can do. one is really soldier, people actually, and that's the price of israel is willing to pay. the hostages ruthlessly taken on october 7th, and likely guarded now by some of the homeless kidnappers face a lengthy captivity. and indeed,

the threat of death from the captors and the families of those hostages are shaken and afraid desperate for any word. and hopeful that the images of their sister's brother's parents, grandparents remain in the forefront of israel's moves against him. us now joined by 2 relatives of 4 of the german hostages taken by him mazda connie roman, whose sister was kidnapped, an audience, a lady whose aunt and uncle have been taken. thank you so much for joining us on the w today. a start review of when you, when did you last hear from your sister and her sister in law has also been taken by home us. where were they? actually, i was in south africa with my father. and when we saw the last message from my sister that says that they are all right with the picture of her and her 3 or 3 years old kid guessin. and that's fine. actually,

it's kind of weird to say it. but with that it's, it's the usual they, they have a routine off alarms getting into the shelter. so we wasn't very afraid. so, but as a time pass on, we realize that this is very different situation. and this is unusual, extremely unusual. and since 10 am and saturday morning, we haven't heard from her. what about you audio? what? what was the last you knew of your uncle and your aunt says so like on i said on saturday morning we woke up a former beside alarms. and again, not something to unusual a, but then i heard on the tv and the terrorist of a broken into his room and the mexican, a mother ring,

a member so fed nikki, was even in the gaza strip. and then i hear that to my cousin is crying on the tv saying that their dad, it was pictures in gaza. and that's how i found out you found out on tv. yes. and, and they were in basically keyboards, one of those sites of, of the work, the boss movie and took a hard hit in the stair attack, 114 a. and this for now, and that's and then we'll just keeps rising. and then lots of hostages also from the keyboards. and it's, it's very concerning. and then my mom is from the q, what's the issue up there? it's such a nice place to go there all the time. and just seen those pictures from the keyboards. he just feels like a nicer is like a whole movie and you,

unfortunately share this faith with with many other families and as well right now, does it give you any sort of solace that you can to share this argument that you're in this together? well that i would say that there is a lot of sort of, there was a right now and between the people are, these are a lot of people are volunteering to help and the people will collapse to the army. and the one before the, the sort of one of the we were divided the 0 a full politic issue is busted right now. i think it's safe to say this, well, only in this together, it, it doesn't matter right now about politics. we just one day to get this over with the being ahead of the horses back home and then truly faithfully. yeah. and that's the top priority of the government to bring the hostages home. have they've been in

touch with you and your families? are they keeping you in the loop? are they keeping you informed to they know anything about or their family members are? um i think that our government has the everyone what was really in shocked. nobody expect this attack. so it took some time for the government to understand and i think that even right now they don't really understand. we don't know this, the final numbers of the people who the murder of the people who gets kidnapped. so until now there is a lot of knowing that the government is trying to reach us and keep us updated, but they don't know. my sister is still in the status of missing, although i'm sure that she's given up. i know it,

we were at the point that she was last seen. and my brother for 5 days was in the warfield and looking for her. no signs of blood, them, no signs of a fight. so for sure, they just, ricky snapped her after for a runaway and square are waiting for information and we're waiting for a sign of life. and that this is also, there isn't that we are here in germany because we really do need every help to, to, to know what is their condition. your sister is a german citizen. yeah. and your uncle as a german awesome is there on his a german citizen. what kind of support have you been receiving from the german government since you arrived here? and we arrived here after almost 2 weeks that we were in this in saying, as you said,

movie in israel. and we just decided that we need germany by our side and actually not buyer's side with our side. because we are as a german citizens and germany shouldn't be a real axis here. and a real actor, not only a 3rd party, this is a matter of self germany. so we came here and i have to say really, we already met the chancellor and mr. bad book and a lot of people in the parliament and we really feel a lot of support and commitment to us to, to help our loved ones. and i really do hope that they will do more than everything that they can. first of all, to bring us a sign of life and then right after then get them released. you know, there is talk about an imminent ground offensive, of course,

also with the aim of a freeing the hostages. that how do you feel about that? because it comes with a lot of danger and of course and well, i don't know what to say, but because i'm, i'm not familiar with what the actions to be or i know is i want a 0 and germany as well. do anything they can to bring on their hostages. eh, we don't, we don't know what it dates, but a, i'm sure, eh, that you will do anything it takes to feel hurt at this point. and so in germany, i've been here for 2 days and we have received this love and support and all the and the politicians. we may as it also the public a love it through receiving it. it really is comforting a to be here, although there are still there and, and do some advocate actions here in berlin. but there that's,

that's everyone in the world right now because we're well not safe everywhere and nothing is well and that's outside of israel. that is a very unfortunate reality if you had a message for your sister right now, or would it be the only thing that um i think that's the only thought this my sister has in her mind right now that she doesn't know that guessing he is alive heard on her daughter. yeah. she doesn't know that she with her father succeed to hide and got back to the army for. so this is the only thing that i would tell her because i know that she knows that i love her. i know that you know that every one of us or her family is doing everything that we can to get her back. so i don't need to tell that. oh, what about you? this? is it just so they're both safe?

i hope there's together. and i'm really concerned about my aunt as well because of eyes has in all the human disease. and she takes all fields to make a medical affairs every day and the it's been 2 weeks now that she hasn't received the name of that goes tension. i assume we don't know, and that's why we need a, the help of the monetary age for the hostages as soon as possible. cuz we don't know how much time she has left. without those a, we know those medical, their time is running out. this is not the events that happened in the 7th of october. this is still, we're still under attack. my sister was also and at least $200.00 more adapt take, not people there are still under attacked. and i also would like to say that

this is not an issue about israel and palestine. really, it's not, this is about terror and the liberal world. they were and i started a war against our army because of a matter of ideology, ideal logics issues. this is innocent people, woman, children, or people ill, people that are now in a war zone just they need help and they haven't done anything bad. and their time is running out. connie id, thank you so much for sharing your story. all the best to you and your families. thank you. thank you. israel has confirmed that some friday. it will allow a limited number of trucks carrying humanitarian aid to enter gaza there off our

crossing from egypt as the only frontier post that israel doesn't control is really set. it will not block supplies provided. these do not reach from us the united nations as calling for unrestricted access. for 8, the water may be flowing, but there's no guarantee it's safe to drink. gas as water supply is on the brink of collapse. the united nation says more than 2000000 phase dehydration and water borne diseases as gases or runs dry. many have no other option then to drink contaminated water and then add the we often we b for to ours. and at the end we find out there is no water anymore. what am i a, how the water is life? no human can somebody with the water, whether it's clickable or not? no, no one can survive without water. the utilities bottles just to go back and find that

it's not drinkable in the cells. gallons waited for hours to buy fuel. the population here has swelled after hundreds of thousands fled from northern gazda. i've been waiting 4 or 5 hours in dallas. they say the diesel has run out. we don't know what to do. we don't know where to go. these various told us to evacuate to this place, but they kill us here. then they say, go to that place, they follow us and kill us. that also, why did they tell us to evacuate? just kill us in our homes. israel has block supplies through its crossings into guys the following the terror attacks by him us. after talks with israel and egypt, the us announced a deal to allow a limited amount of aid from egypt into gazda. but the united nation says the besieged territory needs more. and we just need a mechanism agreed by all. ready relevant policies, so loud,

so the regular provision of the mentions nice throughout the gals up to get the level of distribution of assistance to what it was that for these terrible weeks a 100 times a day providing assistance throughout the gaza to people in the age we need to get back to that level of ambition in neighboring egypt at the roof of border crossing trucks are waiting for the green light to enter data and deliver the desperately needed aid. and we can now speak to the island, sorry. who is the world health organizations regional director for the eastern mediterranean, and joins us now from cairo. welcome to the w, and tell me, why is it so difficult to get 8 into gaza? thank you very much in new york for giving me this opportunity. i mean one of the difficulties watching, facing now you know that to that or to be on the you only give sion borders enough

. i was cause part of the blind. we the you know, not working. it has been damaged by it strikes under drops, cannot move inside. and that's why know, there is a quote, the nation between they give general authorities and other authorities on the other side toward the pay of the source and make sure that as soon as possible and the trucks that don't allow to enter inside will go smoothly. the lack of access to water clean water that appears to be the biggest challenge at the moment. what are your colleagues on the ground telling you? this is bill sending us? it is really very cuz it's getting very bad as we have bought it in your right, you know, program and it is, this would be a, shall take off the water. a very basic, the clean water eyes are, you know, for the common public or for his care facilities. and that is worrying gusio from the bubbly kids perspective. this bundle of water born diseases, like for example, the corner of dehydration at children and women histories. those people in the

hospital at the desk is really healed. mm hm. now as part of this, partial opening fuel won't be allowed into gaza. how important is that? it is a very important thing, you know, when you call it because many of us because in fact, you know, are now starting, give the door not to be non functioning, closing. and they have services because on availability of the fuel and this, what so you know, lives of tens or maybe hundreds of people into danger, you know, because of losing the services they need 24 hours, 7 days a week. you know, during this crisis is anywhere safe for thousands right now to shelter from air strikes and palms that come even where they were supposed to be se. unfortunately, there is no place. so you know what you say if i used to be hosp because of the safest places and this is such situations like like worship, you know,

i see locations and basics of what she wants to know. what has happened 2 days back last because i'll be coming to town. good. about a $156.00 targets. you know, i'll be recorded and targeting. don't forget facilities, you know by don't show for it since they are optional. if this condition let into 16 that's i won't get, walk us around 80. i'm do not see that being done because because of the direct, you know, targeting for us because in north of us, which is composed of 22 hosp because i'm not function and unit i'm functioning because of data to attacks. what does that mean for the work the world health organization is even able to do in gaza right now. exactly. it is really becoming very tough beyond the like. for example, i do this is know we are losing it under dentist is they can look to go to the, for you to take that. what did people back to the hospital in addition to the fact that because of the lack of a viewing this,

i'm due to this guy look whole great. do you know that is that that the, the risk think that what it and also i was led to own my diary world health organization, regional director for the eastern mediterranean. thank you so much for that. we should, stormy is foreign and defense ministers have been holding talks in the middle east and an attempt to de escalate the conflict. cancel off. shots has also been in israel in egypt and a speech to parliament in berlin. the chancellors and germany's place is firmly by israel side. that's really how quickly can i do you, family members of hostages, abducted by how much steering it's tara attack on israel. that's how many gets in the gym and call them and listening to transfer the shows which jessica to and from the middle east, shots reaffirm says government support for israel and for efforts to get the hostages free for more than 200 are being held in cause that among them, a number of truman nationals signed the lease to get

a gun important task for us is freeing the hostages. they must be released without any condition. like give us about the disability. also. i want to say this very clearly to those who preach tara many of those who were kidnapped active as to the full front of seeking piece in the region. i learned this from the friends and family, so this needs to be said here to we are working for the release of the hostages. so it's also spoke about the situation of civilians in the gaza strip. it's the one on it because he isn't getting those up for sale equally victims and hostages of how much to increase and competes using them as human shields, which is inhumane. and that's kind of yukon describing any other way the zip. so you have, see, all it sees control over them in a crew to bite to get some of the helpless in the face of them. how and tara, of how much. so that is why it is very, very important for me to find ways and providing humanitarian agents in whom i need

to have a who fits a good deal. i. some of the induction child said that there is not a good chance that aid will finally make it into gaza soon to an end to the why. the crisis is still nowhere and side. that's it from the news for now. remember, you can get news around the clock on our website. that is d w dot com. and of course we're also on social media. our anal there is at data. we news uncomfortably
