Even as israel tapes office air strikes and hostages relatives lead for their safe return. For them, 200 people were abducted by her loss during the terrorist attacks. Friends and families asked b is rarely government to prioritize their release the article for at least to our viewers on p b. S. And the United States and all of you joining us from around the world. Welcome to the programs. Good. Have you with us, is really forces have continued to strike targets in the gaza strip throughout the day, including in the south of the territory where israel had told thousands to head for their own safety. One explosion in southern gaza, killed and injured several people including children. Many of the wounded were taken to a hospital in the territories, densely populated city of con eunice reports say at least 4 people were killed. A mouse blamed is rarely airstrikes for the casualties. I, i asked data, we use marks on the interest on what israel is saying about air strikes in the south of casa, right . Because of the idea of says that it will strike targets across the entire gaza strip at the north or south, wherever theres a threat to buy from us. And there is a likelihood that the, the idea for one will target it. And this is especially varying for 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 has been strikes in the, in the Southern Region today. Im in the area of hon. Eunice and major city and then southern garza. And also im in a very other very sensitive area around the roof of Border Crossing the Border Crossing with egypt. Were at the moment on the other side, on the egyptian side, our trucks are waiting with much needed to minute terry and aid that is supposed to go into gauze as of tomorrow. In addition to that, there are people in goza. 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 israels defense minister has been visiting troops on the 1000 border. That is correct, that is really defense minister going to 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 well see inside, so essentially it sounds like he is preparing troops for and long term of painted and looks like an eminent ground offensive t. 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 that was the next time the reporting from jerusalem and demonstrators have taken to the streets across the muslim world in solidarity with the people of gauze o. One big rally was held in is stumble and turkish president richard type aired on is a firm supporter of the palestinian pause. He w celia, han reports. Its been another night to rage here in east and large crowds were protesting outside some trying to storm the building some to hire with the protesters named israel to the deadly last at a hospital in guns and switching is royal comments. Were crimes against this, like humanity and we have to be sending out f. A lake holes are not only things here, but only in muslim countries, not only in muslims like it is more crimes against humanity. So we should be spending with the people in the last left with definitely not holding up for this issue. And the terrible human boilers have tons of video g u interrogation president , ridge of tony a bad one was also quick to assign blame. He called the hospitalized quote, the latest example of israels attacks, devoid of the most basic human values. Meanwhile, the is really military says it can prove that a rock had launched by the Palestinian Militants group. Is low make jihad is to blame. Stomach jihad was responsible, in any case, consequences, fatalities between turkey and israel could be dia, we did an immediate attribute recently add one has been working to with have relations with israel, which of long suffered from his support for the palestinians. A few weeks ago at the Un General Assembly in new york, he even met Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu in person for the 1st time. But now the frego reco small could be over. What were son to see increasingly is idle on the government of turkey taking a very strong and hes ready position to the extent that i think out on is more interested in abandoning the so called a lukewarm rapprochement, which was never credible, unrealistic to begin with. One of the major reasons analysts say, is ad ones relationship with the islam is thomas just in july he held talks with him most as politically to east my and her knee it in on correct. The 2 men have met many times of the years. And the israel has accused tuffy of providing a safe haven to members of the group during has more than 2 decades in how us ad one has always been a sub and support all the palestinian cause. And it resonates well with many here in turkey. To this day, he refuses to classify him, us as a terrorist organization. Unlike most of his west and allies, along with the wrong and culture of turkey, a is a central actor that enables a mazda is activities on an international scale, you know, add on, move systematically to essentially ensure that im off bound, office space, diplomatic recognition, in hovering or from us leaders and operators inside of turkey following her mazda is that falsities in israel and october 7th. Edwin has been trying to use his ties with the militant group to play a mediating role tech issue official say they all negotiating the release of hostages health by him us in the gaza strip. But how much influence does ad ones government have . That remains to be seen my my own view on this. Weve been suggested through his influence with him. Us is negligible, but also turkey offering itself as a mediator between israel. And im also authorities is it is an insincere, simply because took his relationship with israel. This is tenuous at best and hes ready government and his ready authorities do not trust the intentions of ad on them. Well, protesting in groups of holding from will protests in the coming days. Hes real has told it citizens to leave touch immediately. And the fears of applying for the attack israel has confirmed that from friday it will allow unlimited number of trucks carrying humanitarian aids to enter gone. So the rough crossing from egypt is the only Frontier Post that israel does not control. Israel has said it will not block supplies provided these do not reach from us. The United Nations is calling for unrestricted access for aid. The water may be slow going, but theres no guarantee its 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 have the we often wed be 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 but the water, whether its clickable or not. No, no one can survive without water. Utilities bottles just to go back and find that its not drinkable in the south gallons waited for hours to buy fuel. The population here has swelled after hundreds of thousands fled from northern gazda. Im a so ive been waiting 4 or 5 hours in dow. They say the diesel has run out. We dont know what to do. We dont know where to go. These right is 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 kinda sooner . Homes is real, has block supplies through its crossings. Into gas 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 gaza. But the United Nation says the besieged territory needs more. We just need a mechanism agreed by or relevant policies to allow for. The regular provision of the mentions needs throughout garza to get the level of distribution of assistance to what it was that for these terrible weeks. A 100 times a day. Society assistance throughout garza to people in the age we need to get back to that level of ambition in neighboring egypt. At the rafa Border Crossing trucks are waiting for the green light to enter data and deliver the desperately needed aid. On the diary as the World Health Organization is regional director for the Eastern Mediterranean and i asked them why it is so difficult to get into gaza. I mean, one of the difficulties watching facing you know, you know that to that or to be on the you only give sion borders in grove. I was cross part of the blind really, you know, not working. It has been damaged by it strikes on the trucks cannot move inside. And thats why know, there is a coordination between they give general authorities and other also these on the other side toward the pay of the source. And make sure that as soon as possible and the trucks that dont 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 . It is bill telling us that it is really very going to get very bad as we already bought it in your you know, program and there is a severe, shall take off the water. A very big deal. Clean water. Eyes are, you know, for the common public or for peachcare facilities. And that is what do you and go from there. But the kids perspective this bundle of water born diseases like for example, the corner of dehydration at children and women histories. Those people in the hosp things at the desk is really, you know, as part of this partial opening fuel wont be allowed into gaza. How important is that . It is a very important thing, you know, when you call it because a 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 works so you know, lives of guns 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 bombs that come even where they were supposed to be say. Unfortunately, there is no place. So you know what you say if i used to be hosp because the safest place is, and this is such situations like, like wash of, you know, see locations and basics of what she wants to know. What has happened 2 days back. And it was because ill be coming get down good. The 156 targets. You know, ill be recorded and targeting or fig get facilities. You know, by the show for this since they are optional, this is condition let and to or 16 thats im gonna get walk us around 80. Im do not see that being done because because of the directing or targeting for us because in norfolk was which is composed of 22. 00 hosp because im not function and unit im functioning because of the data at tax and i was like, oh sorry, the World Health Organizations, regional director for the Eastern Mediterranean israel says more than 200. 00 people were taken hostage by her last during the terror attacks earlier this month. That includes the elderly, the disabled children and even babies. The hostages captured in southern israel and taken to gauze are likely to be used as a bargaining tool. There is a Strong Families are pressuring the is really government to prioritize their safe return on a wall outside the is really Defense Ministry in tel aviv. And on walls across is real. The images of those taken and missing. These are the government most focus 1st before on doing whatever is necessary. You know that to release the hijacks, people in the october 7th attack, come off, terrorists 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. Come off as bills. Now the be lots of effort putting to coordinating identifying load casey, where the hostages all being kept 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 real, has consistently prioritize the safe return of their citizens. So it hasnt been the case in point. The 19 year old is really soldier, held by him. Us for 5 years is well got him back by giving up more than a 1000 palestinian prisoners to home us. They always want to take captives. They know what captains can do. One is riley soldier. People actually, and thats the price of israel was willing to pay the hostages ruthlessly taken on october 7th, and likely guarded now by some of the homeless kidnappers face a link the captivity. And indeed the threat of death from the captors to the families of those hostages. Are shaken and afraid desperate for any word and hopeful that the images of their Sisters Brothers parents, grandparents remain in the forefront of israels moves against him. Us now joined by 2 relatives of 4 of the german hostages, taken by him off as coney rowman, whose sister was kidnapped, an audience, a lizzie, whose aunt and uncle have been taken. Thank you so much for joining us on the w today. And start with you 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 the 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 thats fine. Actually, its kind of weird to say it, but with that its, its a years old they, they have a routine off alarms getting into the shelter. So we wasnt very afraid. 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 havent 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 phone line, we side alarms and again, not something to unusual. A but then i heard on the tv and that a terrorist of a broken into his room and the mexican, a mother ring, a member, so fed nicky with him, then they got the street. And then i hear that to my cousin is crying on the tv saying that their dad a was pictures in gaza. And thats how i found out you found out on tv. Yes. And, and they were in basically keyboards. One of the sites of worship was busy and took a hard hit in this terror attack, 140 ne. And this for now, and thats and then well just keeps rising. And then lots of hostages also from the keyboards. And its, its very concerning. And my mom is from the q, whats the issue up there . Its such a nice place to go there all the time. And just seeing 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 agony that youre in this together . One that i would say that there is a lot of so theres a right now and between the people are, these are a lot of people are volunteering to help and people will collapse to the army. And the one before with this of one of the we were divided, the 0 and full political issue is busted right now. I say its safe to say this, well, all the in this together, it, it doesnt matter right now about politics. We just want to to get this over with being a hold of this hostage back home and truly faithfully. Yeah. And thats the top priority of the government to bring the hostages home. Have theyve been in touch with you and your families . Are they keeping you in the loop or they keeping you informed to they know anything about or their family members are . And 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 dont really understand. We dont know this the find those 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 dont know. My sister is still in the status of missing, although im sure that shes given up. I, 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 bly 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 were waiting for a sign of life. And that this is also, there isnt that we are here in germany because we really do need every help to, to, to know what is their condition. Yeah. Your sister is a german citizen. Yeah. And your uncle as a german awesome your sister onto the 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 these in saying, as he said, movie in israel. And we just decided that we need germany by our side and actually not by our side with our side, because we are as a german citizens. And germany shouldnt be a real axis here. And a real actor, not only a 3rd party, this is a matter also of 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. It. How do you feel about that . Because it comes with a lot of danger and of course and well, i dont know what to say, but because im, im 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 dont, we dont know what it dates, but a, im sure, eh, that you will do anything it takes to feel hurt at this point. And so in germany, ive been here for 2 days in our lives, receive these love, and so forth. And all the and the politicians, we may as it also the public a love as hulu, saving it, it really is comforting. And to be here, although the dealer and on do some advocate actions here in berlin left there. Thats. Thats everyone. That was right now. Yeah. Because were, were on the safe everywhere and nothing is well and thats outside of israel. That is very unfortunate reality. So if you had a message for your sister right now, or would it be the only thing that um i think thats the only thought this my sister has in her mind right now that she doesnt know that guess and hes a live her daughter, her daughter yeah, she doesnt 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 you know that i love her. I know that she knows as every one of us or her family is doing everything that we can to get her back. So i dont need to tell that. Oh, what about you this . Is it just so theyre both safe. I hope theres together. And im really concerned about as mount as well because rise has a lot of them even disease. And she takes us fearless medic, a medical, a lot of fears every day. And then its been 2 weeks now that she hasnt received the name of that goes tension. I assume we dont know, and thats why we need a, the help of the monetary age for the hostages as soon as possible, because we dont 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, were still under attack. My sister was also and at least 200. 00 more adapt to conduct the people there are still under attacked. And i also would like to say that this is not an issue about israel and palestine. Really, its 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 logic issues. This is innocent people, woman, children, or people ill, people that are now in a war zone does they need help and they havent done anything bad. And their time is running out.
