then you need to intensive care unit to come. i loved one hospital where we have a number off you've own babies who are suffering from city evaluation and finding it's very difficult to obtain the required medication and treatment. as this really occupation continues to prevent relief and human syrian aid and medication from entering the gaza strip and reaching these new won't babies, as well as the patients and the one that the northern gas on the equipment or something we used to admit 500 to 600 babies a day into the hospital and now we had met between 1001200 babies a day. yes, we noticed that old patients are showing signs of pay on this and a weakness. second, a picture is worth a 1000 words. that's even new bonds are macey aged both needed so solve it can pull clips in. in the past, every newborn baby would have their own box of milk animals. and today we can barely find a single box for the entire department. the majority of newborns we are treating today have to come out and had one hospital without parents. they were referred to

us by shelters of the hospitals, and they are without their mothers. therefore it's incumbent upon us to offer them food and medical care. the situation is absolutely catastrophic. we usually feed newborn babies every 2 to 3 hours. however, due to the limited supply, but with forced to feed them every 4 or 5 hours instead. and this to fix that white if it had even your didn't pull, the massage was but, but whatever milk we have is split equally amongst everyone. and this will definitely affects the baby's weight and then progress. additionally, given the poor health there and when they were admitted, they needed sufficient quantity of milk to support their immune system. and the current shortage prevents the babies from recovering properly, which means they have to undergo treatment for a longer period of time. and the other person, usually, once newborn babies have recovered, we give them small doses of know to try and gauge their health and find out about recovering well. however, given the limited supply, we're using

a 10 percent glucose based solution to try and get them to stop crying. well, i'll get to mostly, i'm a, a snuff hyphen as a homestead for my child. she has substance under severe chest infection and she's only $23.00 days old. she and this is on a multiple, he will not have a gym here on the desk continues to haunt everybody here in northern gonzales. babies and adults continue to stop you to the occupation preventing the entry off or leave you any. tell you that because a including baby formula into the street and a city of just the all shallows. alexandra syiaa is the head of humanitarian policy and advocacy and save the children. she says the situation will continue to get worse unless there is a cease fire. where what we're seeing now is the worst case scenario and folding right before our eyes. our organizations were been working on the ground in gaza for the last months,

had been warning that children were going to start dying of severe mt. nutrition and disease. and that's exactly what's happening. and in the last few months, what we've seen is that reports are indicating that food and security and malnutrition and gaza has only intensified by the day. and we also know that this is because of the real what the list is really big barn in the ongoing, in restrictions that i presented, the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance and the complete estimation of the civilian infrastructure and services that was leading to the situation right now what i can say is that when children suffer from severe amount of attrition, they are high, a higher likelihood of dying from common diseases like diarrhea or pneumonia are coming cold on because their bodies just can't withstand it. and we know that in gaza right now,

90 percent of children under 5 suffer from some sort of infectious disease and more than 70 percent have suffered from diarrhea in the last 2 weeks. so the situation is dire, and it is getting worse and it won't get better unless there is a ceasefire and we're able to scale up humanitarian assistance. several planes of air drop humanitarian aid in the northern gaza strip. resident said, boxes of supplies were dropped around the indonesian hospital in jamalia town on tuesday, plains dropped aid and drop by and con unit a group say it's becoming increasingly difficult and dangerous to deliver supplies in cost. you and agencies have repeatedly warned of increasing starvation and hunger among gods as 2300000 people. now they say one and 4 people are on the brink of famine. michael, apple reports a n t bones and the empty stomach

age you can find can cost to your life. i don't understand. i've been here since the early morning. i need food. i have a 40 year old son and a 40 year old daughter. we kind of go out who will take care of them. we don't have rice and we don't have flour. my children are sick. i told the soup will likely be the only thing that many of these families will eat in the day. it's a hot meal, but it isn't enough. is the i've come to get something to keep myself alive. it's only suit. we need bread with salt and pepper to eat and to give us some energy. for god's sake, we need help. i hate agency say they are ready to ramp up operations. as soon as the cease fire is in place, the cautious optimism of a breakthrough, however, is tempted by months of suffering and disgrace, a salmon on the horizon. like level, which is

a fallacy indians inside gaza or waiting for any news about whether a deal to stop fighting can be done many or hoping agreement can be reached before the holy month of what i'm about. and the because he has been speaking to people and did it by the needs of the gaza strip, are desperate to hear anything about an immediate cease fire, especially before rama done today. we're indebted by downtown and we're going to talk to people about what they think about these, these all your agreements. what was the last the produce value for young, i hope, and i wish for a ceasefire. we've heard things during previous talks and negotiations that one might come, but we've been disappointed every time the people will always be the victims. the people are really suffering. the people have no more energy. ramadan is approaching, we ask god to make our life easier, and best enough is enough. with the smart enough, i hope you've done every time to talk about sci fi. it never happens at this time.

that we do not achieve safety for folks through control and punishment. and violence, but it's through care and compassion, dignity equal rights, a strength and democracy. and so that's what we're fighting for. now at this stage, they don't have the votes for a ceasefire resolution to pass in the city council, but the people i spoke to here believe that there is growing public sentiment for such a call for a ceasefire. and they are committed to staying out here through the night to make their voices heard. present salumi al jazeera new york, the one of the best known politicians in washington has announced his retirement as senate leader. mitch mcconnell is lead republican senators for nearly 17 years, a record term at the age of $82.00. he says it's time for the next generation to take over at election time in november. but he's planning to serve out his senate
