Duties when Israeli Forces overran the Nasser Hospital In Gaza last month. Weve also heard accusations that some detainees were stripped and kept in Stress Positions for several hours. Israel said it occupied nasser believing it was used by hamas and several released israeli hostages have said they were held there. Wyre davies reports and a warning, you might find some parts of his report distressing. Not for the first time in this war, Israeli Soldiers have been filmed standing over stripped and kneeling detainees in gaza. But these are medical staff, detained after the israeli army overran the Nasser Hospital in khan yunis. Most of them are still held captive. For weeks, the medics had witnessed israels military advance closing in around their hospital. The fighting in khan younis was fierce. Thousands of people whod sought refuge in the grounds, fled under gunfire. What should have been a place of safety was completely the opposite. One nurse was shot inside a Hospital Operating Theatre through a window. Another person shot at the main entrance. The hospital was under siege. On february the 15th, after giving warnings, israeli tanks overran the hospital. There were chaotic scenes as troops took control. Patients whod been unable to evacuate were moved by medics from collapsing wards. Israel says it found hamas weapons, also medication which they say supports accounts from israeli hostages that they were held there. In the idf� s own footage, you can see that Hospital Patients had their hands zip tied, detained outside in their beds and wheelchairs. This was when troops also detained the medical personnel, more than 50 of them forced to leave their posts and remove their surgical clothing. At least 49 of them. Israel says it did so in case there were concealed weapons, and that among the 200 arrested at nasser were terrorists posing as medics. Dr Amira Assouli had remained at nasser throughout the siege, before the israeli incursion, risking her own neck to save lives, as people were shot inside the grounds. She later witnessed what happened to her fellow doctors. | translation it was tough for us to | see how the doctors, who had bravely stayed at the hospital despite the dangers, were stripped and beaten. Their hands were tied behind them and they were left in the sun for hours. His hand broken in captivity, dr ahmed sabha is one of the very few medics to have since been released. He shows the positions they were forced to adopt for hours, and says they were also tortured. Translation they forced us to kneel down with our eyes blindfolded. There was a pit in the ground, and we thought they would execute us and bury us there. We said our prayers, but they were just intimidating us. Israel says any abuse of detainees is against idf orders and is strictly prohibited. But crucially, according to the Hospital Manager who dealt with the israelis during the raid, the detention of so many of his staff left his hospital woefully short of doctors. Translation eight doctors and 15 nurses were left treating 250 patients. You can imagine the level of care we could give with no water or electricity in the hospital at that point. During this time, 13 patients and injured people died. The Israeli Army Says it operated within nasser in a precise and focused manner, and says it provided equipment enabling it to function and treat patients. But with the war continuing, and at least 46 medics still detained or missing, the hospital has been closed for weeks. Wyre davies, bbc news. The humanitarian situation in gaza remains dire. Over the last couple of days we have been watching the progress of a ship which will be the first to inaugurate this new maritime aid corridor from first to inaugurate this new maritime aid Corridorfrom Cyprus First to inaugurate this new maritime aid corridor from cyprus to gaza, which will enable ships to take dont wanna be. It has been loaded in larnaca, it has been told by a ship from the Spanish Charity open arms who said it set sail this morning loaded with 200 tonnes of aid. The un has said that gaza is on the brink of famine. Quentin sommerville has the latest. The . Sommerville has the latest. They finall had sommerville has the latest. They finally had the sommerville has the latest. They finally had the security sommerville has the latest. Tie finally had the Security Clearances and they leftjust before nine oclock local time today. As you said, it will take a while to get by, perhaps as long as 50 hours, two days. The difficulty they face when they arrive is that gaza, which is in a State Of War Agenda under israeli bombardment has no infrastructure and no functioning port, so they are busily building hrt to receive this aid using the rubble from some of the destruction they are busily building a jetty. The ship has 200 tonnes of aid including rice, flour and preprepared meals. It is on the way to gaza but it is a tiny amount compared to gazas need. They have been receiving aid supplies by truck and air drops. This is the first time the maritime corridor has been opened and the expectation is that will be many more ships after this, notjust world central kitchen. They have these functioning kitchens, 60 across gaza, staffed by palestinians, they have been providing aid. World central kitchen has also been doing this in ukraine, haiti and across the world. They are quite nimble and practised at getting this kind of aid to very hard to reach basis. But let me touch on the amount of aid, your average Container Truck holds about 20 tonnes of aid so doing a back of the envelope calculation, that would mean that to me to gazas needs by sea, 50 of those barges would need to leave every single day. There is another should be prepared to deliver aid if this one is successful and also the United States has a separate maritime corridor where they will deliver aid, they are sending a ship from the United States which will build a pier offshore gaza, presumably much bigger and one which can handle large amounts of cargo than there little Ship Disappearing over the horizon as i speak. So there is a big effort going on by International Aid groups, the united arab emirates, the United States, europe, cyprus and others. As well as the occupier of gaza and, indeed, the west bank, should be responsible for ensuring people that i have enough food, water and electricity, clearly that its not happening at the moment for ensuring that the people that i had enough. In some respects the responsibility is being passed on to others but it remains the responsibility of israel under the responsibility of israel under the Geneva Convention that the people of gaza, the palestinians, have everything they need to live a proper life. Have everything they need to live a roer life. , have everything they need to live a preper life proper life. Quentin sommerville, who is following proper life.

Haitis Prime Minister, ariel henry, has called for calm and a return to stability after agreeing to resign to make way for a transitional authority. Hes been stuck in puerto rico, unable to return, as his country wrestles with growing anarchy. Us Officials Say he s welcome to remain on us soil if he wishes. Mr henry has held the unelected role since the assassination in 2021 of the countrys last president. But armed groups have been calling for him to step down, leading to widespread violence. News of his resignation came during a high level meeting of the Caribbean Community injamaica. We are pleased to announce paving the way for a peaceful transition of power. Continuity of governance and an action plan for near term security, and the road to free and fair elections. It further seeks to assure that haiti will be governed by the rule of law. This commitment reflects hajj compromises among a Diverse Coalition of actors who have put their country above all differences. To that end, we acknowledge the resignation of Prime Minister ariel henry. Speaking at the caricom talks injamaica, the us secretary of state, antony blinken, announced a multimillion Dollar Aid Package for haiti. What weve seen in recent days, again, should remind us that the already challenging and difficult Security Situation has now deteriorated even further and makes the Multinational Support mission even more important than ever. The United Nations Security Council has reaffirmed that, and reaffirmed a collective commitment to deploy it as quickly as possible. Given this increasingly urgent need, im announcing today that the United States department of defense is doubling its Approved Support for the mission from 100 million to 200 million, and that brings the total us support to 300 million for this effort. Im also announcing additional humanitarian assistance for the people of haiti. 33 million to further support their health and food security. Now, all of us know that only the haitian people can only the haitian people should determine their own future. Dr Christopher Sabatini is Senior Fellow for Latin America at International Affairs at the think tank chatham house. He gave this assessment of the situation in haiti. Its difficult. Right now, youre looking at gangs that control almost all of port au prince. They control all the major. Most of the major routes outside port au prince, which will make delivering humanitarian assistance almost impossible. Already, about 60 of the humanitarian assistance that had been delivered to haitians in the interior of the country was controlled by the gangs, was delivered by the gangs, seized and then delivered. And in this case, too, youve got a unified group of gangs that are threatening to topple the government, theyve attacked the airport. They prevented henry from landing. They had attacked police stations, the interior ministry, and even thrown Molotov Cocktails at the president ial palace. So they have to establish some control even before they can begin to create this Transitional Council and deliver humanitarian assistance. The un Secretary General has again called for a ramadan ceasefire in sudan. Its suffering from the biggest Displacement Crisis in the world, and aid agencies warn it risks becoming the Worlds Largest Hunger Crisis. Reports say a top general in sudans army rejected a ramadan ceasefire . Unless the rival rsf Paramilitary Group leaves civilian and public
