00:43 Hello, welcome to From the South.
00:49 I'm Ana Marrero from the Telesur headquarters in Caracas, Venezuela.
00:52 We'll be back with the news, stay with us.
01:17 In Palestine, death toll rises due to the indiscriminate shilling of civilian targets
01:21 in the Gaza Strip.
01:22 Up to this moment, the Palestinian Ministry of Health has reported that the number of
01:26 dead has risen to 1,800, among them 614 children and 370 women.
01:33 More than four-dozen paramedics, 11 UN staff members and seven journalists have been killed.
01:39 In addition, more than 500,000 people have been displaced.
01:43 There is no water or electricity and thousands of homes have been destroyed.
01:52 In Lebanon, Israeli bombings leave one journalist dead and several wounded in the south of the
02:04 country.
02:05 They were journalists from the Rotary Agency on the Job.
02:08 The press vehicle in which the press team was traveling was hit by an Israeli airstrike
02:13 in the town of Al-Malzabar, located in the southern border.
02:17 In the video we see on the screen, you can hear the desperate scream of these journalists
02:22 when they are hit by the missile.
02:25 Israeli Defense Forces declared on Thursday night one of their emunerated aircraft's
02:30 alleged targets belonging to Hezbollah.
02:56 In the United States, citizens gathered in the streets of New York to express their
03:10 support to the Palestinian people.
03:12 The demonstrators expressed their rejection to the Tel Aviv regime.
03:15 They also demand Palestinian independence and condemn the decision of the Prime Minister
03:19 of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
03:20 In this context, they condemn the act of violence that the Israeli regime is currently committing
03:26 in the Gaza Strip.
03:27 UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres appealed on Friday for the protection of basic human
03:39 rights as the Israel-Hamas conflict spreads.
03:42 Stressing that even worse have ruled a warning against using hostages as human shoulders.
03:49 After days of airstrikes, the Israeli Defense Forces have ordered the Palestinians in Gaza
03:54 City and its surroundings to move to the south of the territory.
03:59 Moving more than one million people across a densely populated war zone to a place with
04:05 no food, water or accommodation when the entire territory is under siege is extremely dangerous
04:13 and in some cases, simply not possible.
04:17 Hospitals in the south of Gaza are already at capacity and will not be able to accept
04:22 thousands of new patients from the north.
04:25 The health system is on the brink of collapse.
04:28 Morgues are overflowing.
04:30 Eleven health care staff have been killed while on duty and there have been 34 attacks
04:35 on health facilities in the past few days.
04:38 We need immediate humanitarian access throughout Gaza so that we can get food and water to
04:45 everyone in need.
04:47 Even wars have rules.
04:50 Humanitarian law and human rights law must be respected and upheld.
04:55 Civilians must be protected and also never use the shields.
04:59 On Thursday, the Switzerland World Health Organization spokesman, Tariq Jastrzewicz,
05:06 assured that his institution joins the general appeal of the United Nations to Israel to
05:11 immediately cancel the evacuation order within the next 24 hours of 1.1 million people living
05:17 north of Wadi Gaza.
05:19 WHO joins the wider United Nations appeal to Israel to immediately rescind orders for
05:27 the evacuation within the next 24 hours of 1.1 million people living north of Wadi Gaza.
05:35 We also appeal to an end to hostilities and violence in Gaza Strip where unimaginable
05:42 human suffering is unfolding as we can witness.
05:47 Meanwhile, Jaroslav Jastrzewicz reiterated that with continuing airstrikes, civilians
05:54 no longer have anywhere safe to go.
05:56 With ongoing airstrikes, civilians have no safe place left to go.
06:01 The Palestinian Ministry of Health has informed WHO that it is impossible to evacuate vulnerable
06:08 hospital patients from the north of Gaza.
06:11 Moving severely ill people, and remember many of those are children, and these severely
06:17 ill people whose injuries mean their only chances of survival is being on a life support
06:24 such as mechanical ventilators.
06:26 So moving those people is a death sentence.
