The hamas controlled Health Ministry says more than 7,000 people have now been killed there almost 3000 of them children. These pictures are from a street thats right in front in the heart of the gaza strip. The israelis have said just in the last 24 israelis have said just in the last 2a hours they have hit 250 different hamas sites but this just the central part of gaza city and you can see just the scale of the destruction and of course i was reading out the latest Health Ministry figures there from the hamas run ministry, saying more than 7000 people have been killed and in terms of the breakdown, they are saying nearly 3000 of those are children. And of course the israelis disputing those figures, pointing out that they are coming from hamas. But that is certainly what Health Officials in gaza are saying. So those are just some of the latest pictures there on the screen. I also want to show you next the Satellite Images from Maxar Technologies that showing the area around 0ctober seven, thats what it looked like three weeks ago, lets switch from those before October The 7th two these pictures therefrom afterwards, during the continued bombardment from the israelis and some of the aftermath. And just the extent of the damage. Some of the latest pictures, also the satellite imagery. Can you also show you the pictures from the Israeli Military, it carried out Ground Forces a significant incursion into gaza overnight. Takings and Armoured Bulldozer Crossing that perimeter fence. The military also raised the number of people confirmed to be hostages in gaza, saying its 224 and that number could rise further. Four hostages have been released by hamas which has been designated a Terrorist Organisation by the uk and many other countries. A spokesman for the armed wing of hamas claimed as many as 50 of the hostages have been killed and is really air strikes. There is no evidence to verify that claim but that is the number that they are saying. At least 1400 people were killed in the october seven attacks. Meanwhile, un aid workers say theyve begun to significantly � scale down� their operations in gaza as Fuel Reserves have almost run out. Israel says hamas is storing enough fuel to run hospitals and water pumps for many days, but is keeping it all for its war fighting capabilities. Weve heard both from the israelis and the Palestinian Ambassador there at the un, lets start there and hear what he had to say a little earlier. You are setting us back 80 years by trying to justify what israel is doing now. How naive one has to be or how hypocritical to pretend they dont know israel is voluntarily, voluntarily killing Palestinian Civilians. Who can believe that those killed by israel are for 70 children and women and that entire families were killed while israel is trying to minimise civilian death . They kill all of us. They kill thousands of us. And they say they are trying to minimise killing civilians. How would it look like if they were trying to maximize killing Palestinian Civilians . If killing 7,000 is to minimise, killing 700,000 would be possible to maximise. We dont need you to offer us semantic reassurances about israel and protection of civilians. We need you to honour these norms, honour these norms. Not recall them only to justify their breach seconds later. This selective outrage is outrageous and needs to stop and need to stop now. The israeli delgate gilad erdan spoke next heres what he said. take sot heres what he said. Hamas is genocidal ideologyjust like isis, alqaeda, or the ayatollah regime of iran is notjust about destroying israel. You all know it, it is ultimately about world domination, world. Its about Ringing Thejihad Warto world domination, world. Its about ringing thejihad war to the world domination, world. Its about ringing the jihad war to the soil of each and every one of your countries. They will not stop until they murder all of the infidels as they murder all of the infidels as they call us. Colleagues for the past 16 years the International Community and the un have been complacent to hamas� terrible Build Up Complacent to hamas� terrible build up in gaza. Complacent. The world has kept its head in the sand as they buried their rockets deep within and under the civilian population of gaza. It excepted an absurd reality that the law abiding democracy could live side by side with genocidal terroristic fire, Tens Of Thousands of missiles indiscriminately at our civilians, unprovoked. We have seen that nothing can change hamas� genocidal ideology. That nothing can change hamas genocidal ideolo. Nothing can change hamas genocidal ideolo. � , ideology. That was israels ambassador ideology. That was israels ambassador at ideology. That was israels ambassador at the ideology. That was israels ambassador at the un ideology. That was israels ambassador at the un general assembly. Lets head to our correspondent paul adams. Weve seen overnight those targeted raids, in the last half hour or so. Protest by hostage families, just give me your assessment of the sort of pressure that Benjamin Netanyahu who is actually feeling both from home and abroad. ,. , ,. , abroad. Enormous pressure, and you would not want abroad. Enormous pressure, and you would not want to abroad. Enormous pressure, and you would not want to be abroad. Enormous pressure, and you would not want to be in abroad. Enormous pressure, and you would not want to be in his abroad. Enormous pressure, and you would not want to be in his shoes. I would not want to be in his shoes. 0n the one hand youve got people demonstrating here in israel and they are in tel aviv again tonight, relatives of the missing saying they are running out of patience and its time is running out, and they want the government to be seen to be doing everything in its power to bring hostages home. Weve had similar calls from joe biden, its not one of his highest priorities, the return of us hostages. So that is one absolutely huge pressure and just to kind of add to that pressure, hamas today, said that as many as 50 of the hostages had been killed as a result of israeli air strikes. Now we have absolutely no way of verifying that, but of course the hostages we know from the testimony of lifshitz who emerged just a few days ago those are being held in tunnels, and that is the very tunnels that the Israeli Air Force is bombing, so it is possible what they are saying about the hostages is true. But we cant be certain. Of course theres all this pressure that the government really has set itself this an enormously ambitious agenda, to uproot hamas altogether from the gaza strip, some here in Israel Questioning Whether thats even possible. And youve got veterans of iraq and afghanistan, who are reportedly here offering their advice and perhaps trying to suggest to the israelis that they need to be a little careful about identifying precisely what their objectives are and the methods they use to achieve them because this mounting death toll among Palestinians Is just impossible to ignore. Palestinians is ust impossible to more. �. Palestinians is ust impossible to ianore. �. ,. , Palestinians Is ust impossible to ianore. ,. , ignore. And paul, of course, the other issue ignore. And paul, of course, the other issue that ignore. And paul, of course, the other issue that is ignore. And paul, of course, the other issue that is dominating i ignore. And paul, of course, the | other issue that is dominating the agenda, of Fuel Supplies and they un agency saying they are running out. And of course that is intertwined with some of what youve been talking about with reports that hamas talking about potential Hostage Releases but linking it to that issue of fuel. Hostage releases but linking it to that issue of fuel. Everything gets aned that issue of fuel. Everything gets linked here that issue of fuel. Everything gets linked here. Ceasefires, that issue of fuel. Everything gets l linked here. Ceasefires, hostages, linked here. Cease fires, hostages, fuel, aid, humanitarian corridors. Its a real kind of tangled web of competing interests and competing demands. 0n the fuel, while the un said they would have run out by last night, it seems as though they havent quite, though un officials are now saying that they are deciding which services they can continue to maintain and which they cant. The israelis are saying theres plenty of fuel in gaza, but that hamas are controlling it and if the un want fuel they need to go to hamas and ask them. Again, we cant verify that. We dont know the extent to which hamas is being able to hold fuel for itself. It is perfectly possible that that is the case. But regardless of whether or not hamas is maintaining secret supplies of fuel, it is clear that from the uns point of view, the situation there is becoming almost untenable. Such vast numbers of people in need of care and attention. Hundreds and hundreds of people being killed every day, hundreds and hundreds of people losing their homes every day. So with each passing moment this humanitarian crisis just gets worse and they uns ability to cope with it is not improving at all. Paul adams there it is not improving at all. Paul adams there in it is not improving at all. Paul adams there in jerusalem, i it is not improving at all. Paul adams there injerusalem, thanks very much, thank you. Well get more on the Fuel Situation in a moment or two, but another Important Development here in this time in lebanon.
