8:33 am
challenges with garza is on the brink of starvation for some it's already too late. well, israel continues to aid from entering palestinians all desperately trying to find ways to survive those outside of gaza, trying to find ways to help. what can actually be done to confront this humanitarian is off the. i'm mariann faucet. this is the street the the situation and gaza is guessing was by the day. let's take a look at the numbers to get an understanding of the extent of the devastation. at least half a 1000000 people are facing
8:34 am
a mind made famine or 2 points. 3000000 people are experiencing acute food shortages and children are dying. davy, now do some malnutrition. as a desk toll continues to rise. the reality of this thumb and is the dangers coming from multiple size, which will compound each other. as a crisis remains on addressed to help us understand the varied and is it connected risks associated with funding. we have a guest with us who's been working with many n g o is to help coordinate aid through that are crossing. i mean, i mean, but all we is a social impacts specialist for the palestinian medical release society on the ceo of health workers for palestine. i mean a thank you so much for being with us. now you and officials say that gaza is on the brink of famine. what does that actually mean to thank you so much
8:35 am
for having me and i, i'm really glad that we started with this question because i think it's really important to unpack the language that's being used. and so if i may, i'd like to answer this question into parts. and the 1st just to sort of highlight that when we use language like the brink of famine, it's sort of sounds like to the average person that's maybe not in this particular field. and not aware of the technicalities associated with this kind of definition that, you know, there is food and it's about to run out. but i need to be really blunt here, because the reality is that the people in, in does that have been starving now for for months. and eh, we've already started c, as you pointed out in the introduction at children are starting to die on a daily basis. because of this issue of star vision and lack of access to food. i know people that are living in the northern parts of a guys that on a car to day. if they're lucky, sometimes they need to split up. you know, these types of russians with their families. i know people including my husbands, family in the southern parts of a guys that are leaving on
8:36 am
a whole family to one teen of, of beans a day if they're lucky. so, you know, i think that it's really important to sort of highlight that the word simon is a technical term. and it's used by organizations like the united nations to sort of assess the severity of a situation. but either it's, it's stages and it's actually broken up into 5 different stages where you're looking at things like food insecurity, which is split into 2 different levels. when we're looking at the official sort of definitions and assessments. you're looking at foods access as well as livelihoods, because obviously if people on earning an income, they're not able to access food because i'm not able to buy it. maybe there's not and years working in those areas that can actually provide the food as we're seeing in the gods over the blockade. and then you sort of looking at the humanitarian crisis and then you come to the point of simon, one of the sort of more easier ways to sort of assess whether or not you're reaching the pharmacy as sorry, simon's status is whether it's 30 percent of the children in that particular area
8:37 am
are malnourished. now what we're seeing already right now is that in the northern pox is because of 31 percent of children are now considered severely malnourished. and i just want to highlight that that's a really extreme start jump from the, the statistics that we're looking at in january where it was on use 15.6 percent. and now we're looking at 3132 percent percent in the northern positive as already as well in the southern parts of because of where some of the 8 is getting in there is more explode, access to food. although it's, it's extremely limited. children already have reached and not every 28 percent and the unit assess reports. this just released in the last few days is really highlighting that you know, the speed at which the severity of mt nutrition amongst children and the rate of deaths now is expected to increase exponentially. and it's extremely dangerous. so i think it's important that when we're looking at this sort of technical terminology that we're not forgetting the fact that people and the guys that have
8:38 am
been literally starving and suffering, the consequences of that started ation for months now. yeah, i mean i, i also wanted to ask you about this statement. the un spokesperson has made saying that once time and is declared, it's too late. so can you explain to us what that means? yes, certainly. so, you know, when we're looking at severe and chronic malnourishment, when not just looking, we shouldn't just be looking at the death toll. we need to be looking at the wider and bigger picture. and so, you know, there's certain complications that arise specifically in children because they're the most vulnerable groups when it comes to starvation. and the adults told that stems from not, and also dehydration. so that's another important point when we're looking at this definition, it's not just students also including water and we know that water supplies in regards of for months since the 7th of october have also been severely limited. and so, you know what this person is alluding to is the fact that there are multiple kind morbidities illnesses that arise as a result of mountain tricia,
8:39 am
which in children we see steps to. so that's a stomach full body infection that can also be faded. so we're looking at developmental delays, we're looking at mental health issues. we're looking at cardiac issues. and even once you start to introduce screwed, it's not just a matter of opening the floodgates and people having access to food and just sort of consuming as they would normally. it's actually a medical condition that needs to be observed by people that are experts in this particular area where they're introducing the nutrition on a regimen that's specific to that person and to the needs to ensure that the extension and quote, re feeding syndrome doesn't occur, which can actually be fatal. now before i bring in my guess, i just want to uh, very briefly off to you. if you can summarize for us to somebody who regularly coordinates aid into gaza, some of the challenges that you and others facing and trying to get aid into the strip start to summarize it quickly. i mean,
8:40 am
the main issue is the fact that as well is continuing its uh, 17 years the gym blockade on because this unfortunately is nothing new for the people of government in terms of having limited access to a supply. now, before the 7th of october, there are $500.00 trucks going in on a daily basis. and now we're averaging around a $130.00. but obviously the needs have increased because of the shared devastation and scale of which monetary and crisis, which is you quite rightly point to that is a mind made situation. yeah. so it's a multi faceted issue. yeah, thank you so much for that summary. a mirror that's welcome to move guests now, who are joining us for this conversation? i only green is a national co director of standing together a jewish palestinian groceries movement working for shed. i'm equal future. he joins us from new york on sunday. the thought of the resident of all to part east jerusalem and the founder and director of pilgrims for peace. gentlemen, thank you so much for being here. i'm only if i might start with you. your group
8:41 am
was recently involved in trying to push aid through at the rough crossing. can you tell us a little bit more about the organization you work with and what you've been trying to do lately? a yes store. so standing together is a joyce posting and restaurants moment of fighting with in these very society within the borders is always well among the public students in the sense of reason having the choice to, to some of us to end occupation to end the war, to actually if he's very promising in peace and to kind of be the reality where well, we are on equal and free and independent. before october 7th, we were active against doctor base. and now we are urgently working to end this warrant to be the majority within our society. to resist this reality that we see in front of our eyes. we do so because we understand that, you know, having a reality where millions of people, millions of palestinians are living under military control or living in god's us
8:42 am
without the basic rights and freedoms. it is not something that we can be silent when we see it, but not only out of sony darcy towards the palestinians. also because we understand this is not the self interest of these rarely people. we see our leadership destroying, really destroying the ability to have a normal life in gaza. and that the story is the ability of us having a normal life is when we understanding different elements of this reality. and we're working to try and stop it and to bring it into the public discussion. and that's the reason we're led to the for the in a convoy is from cds. and these roads directly to the border and guides. and we're stopped by the israeli army. so i want to bring you in here, of course, as a palestinian yourself, watching the reaction of the international community to the farm and on folding. what more could be happening from your perspective? what more could you be hoping might be done?
8:43 am
the unified into the international community activists. that is an amazing achievement of the global community to stand. ready justice and with quite a simian rice and against occupation and against the oppression of whereas if you're talking about politics and politicians who have been trying to even create a just name shows that conducting such actions as reckoning. i think that is much to be done on both sides of it on for example, that has been doing this instead of these bringing a city ends living is 80 citizens as well as the. ringback is the eighty's putting that together to come to us a common on this. busy thing on a common ground the only 2 step. busy for the foot? no, because there's so much work to be done. i mean we've it, we have been a,
8:44 am
as the community has been sending us stories for 75 years. we at the city is quite tired of such a that's what lake and west we if it is we would know the communities that are spending towards justice for them to make that decision. we would. busy we would need this and that's up to the court of justice. and currently it's or the on is to to allow humanity. and he said that the possibilities of genocide support for all of this to be implemented by the international community who has put all these goals and organizations otherwise we're living in that with them as well. um, let's just remind ourselves of the situation inside goals. and let's take a look at this from all digital correspondent who is that in gaza. eckles mother, i'm her made. she's the telling us about the dire situation for mothers in gaza.
8:45 am
just this is just facing immediate and then the solution to the lack of even as high sizes that cannot provide conditions. as you can see here and the surroundings around the center of got some people are just living and i have conditions without even the basic needs for me. i am almost at all a 6 month daisy i'm facing the same. yes. i'm able to some how to, to provide for my food. my son put me, i changed the type of the day before and you know, for my son more than 11 times and it'll be closed in as nbc off
8:46 am
the market. but it's good as it is, the seventy's and the most of the measures you'll see send me this is the challenging provide i had yesterday because of my living test, the name of the same team. huh. father. see how the and the name of the study was it the and they had you had any to have i guess i'm sort of can check in the yeah, my name is look for the union as you 46 pm comes with the shaking and to tell you the babies cannot know and the subsequent edition, they cannot hear the sense of time to be exposed to, to this is that the for the, because i live to these space. so it's a situation where the, where the baby would be kids and it just, it has to face these and it's just how that is to an agent, to,
8:47 am
to save the life of a mirror i'm of the bank about can you tell us some of the challenges that are specifically affecting mothers in gaza right now to yes, so i think one is, is for me as a previous nurse that worked with mothers in the personnel awards. it's really distressing to hear these types of reports that you've seen from these mothers, where the severity of the lack of access to food and water has affected mothers ability to be able to produce breast mute and to be able to feed her children. which in this particular context would be the most ideal solution because of the lack of access to clean water, it's extremely dangerous when you're dealing with new blinds and young children under 2 years of age when you don't have access to clean water. so you know, this is what we're seeing is that there's 5 and a half 1000 women every single month, but are delivering in the gaza. so it's about $180.00 women
8:48 am
a day without access to safe spaces or clean spaces, or hygiene kids or even safe bursting kids without access to anesthesia. i mean, i just want to point out the, the situation for the newborns is so dire, especially for those women that don't have access to formula or they don't have access to clean water because that's the thing you need access to both at the same time. and either they're getting one or the other and they're not able to have 1st, we're seeing the images of mothers putting dates to pacify the newborn babies in their mouth. but i've started to see videos now where babies are crying and there's no tears because there's there malnourished and so dehydrated, that their bodies not even able to produce tiers. it's such an unnatural state. so you have to mothers being killed every single hour in the house. you have a lack of access to sundry supplies. there's, you know, thousands of, of dignity and, and sanitary packs going in. however, you have over 600000 women of menstruating age and not able to access the pucks. you and the water that you need to be able to bathe yourselves. and this is also extremely important, postpartum,
8:49 am
it can lead to infertility. it can lead to infections, which can actually cause, you know, even further depths. i think also we need to highlight for, for women. and as of right now, 16 me on the states, there are no states spaces. you know, the, the reports coming out of the sexual, harass us magenta base violence. i mean, the list goes on. we haven't even touched on the, the, the silent work that women do and carrying the families. you have 3000 new female lead households because their husbands have been killed. yeah. were abducted. thank you. i'm going to be as really government has blamed at the lack of aid and a failure in distribution by the aid organizations. let's take a look at this instagram post by co gets. the problem is an opening more crossings . the problem is distributing the aid to the people of gauze the. the international organizations do not have the capacity and have yet to take real steps to improve on the distribution of 8 across cause a, including in the north alley. i want to bring you in on this the,
8:50 am
the problem is the 8 organizations. and i read the responses of these where the army and these really government i'm and i'm just shocked. i mean, we all have, i, as we all have years and we see the refuse of, of our administer as the declarations of our ministers, not to, um, being able to guys, uh, this is a direct policy, direct strategy of these really governments and of starvation and we see we read all the news, we understand that our settler is coming every day from the west bank to block um trucks from getting um being when we are blocked, to get to the same place that the sellers are with our food in a very and i'm a joyce stevenson as well. so i want to talk about my society for a 2nd. if someone's things that this serves us. if someone thinks that we benefit from such extreme companies must see on the people that control is well the are creating starvation is of a rec policy. as an open policy,
8:51 am
they are wrong. we will also lose from this realities. palestinians are paying an unbearable price, right? now when the guys up, but also in the west bank, by the way, don't forget what happens on the west banks on a daily 11 people, there are not allowed to work. people there are suffering from settlers of violence, and we understand that we have the story done. since i started the junction where we as an is rarely as even as jewish society, we need to decide whether we're going to the path of the turn on a more occupation, more settlement, more violent and living every person on this land pay a terrible our prize not only the students and we need to understand it, or we choose to go in a direction of ending the occupation of achieving a reality of freedom, equality and independence of order. and it is this moment that to understand that that is really lead actually is refusing to go in the past of these 2 going the path of, of,
8:52 am
of actually fixing the reality. this war is only making things worse for the type of thing just but also for days when i'm at the island, the you mentioned the is ready to ship that somebody the you said recently the israel is deliberately using starvation as a weapon of who in gauze a was a palestinian who's lived under occupation your whole life. what do you see is the end goal here for these really leadership? i mean that's hands or is it a of have been the same? they have just been quite amplified to genocide levels over the past 5 and a half, 6 months of the, the intention we should listen to as alias. is there any, there are, there are 2 different types of societies and i can, i think we see this or going on internally as well as ex 70. i'm on i would rather than in the jewish community. that is, that is a fight off of zionism and how zionism
8:53 am
has infected. ready jewish minds has, has created the face of is a to, to in the beginning and was very instrumental and beneficial in creating, in the saw the source of this government. if you will. we have to remember that the beginning the cause, the $750000.00 palestinians to be kicked out of their homes. the. ready reduced the cities, everything was a social display leading government to the campus. obviously boots is also the next huge mess of good was then based on 11 and which was also a social discovery. right now we're dealing with a government that has brought in people who they have a not only come then it's what's they have charged outside of this and, and these are the people running the government, unfortunately for, but for both us,
8:54 am
for the city and for those really support the kind of thing and living in it. so it'd be one well on that note on this, on the, sorry, oh, not know somebody, i just want to bring this and i, i'm in the, i want to ask you about these to, to stick some february. and a new is really democracy institute survey shows that 68 percent of jewish has made use of powers, the transfer a few minutes hearing aids, to goals and residents. we've even seen some of these people, as you mentioned, blocking aid from getting into gaza. so many of service this just seemed unbelievable. how do you make sense of this as well? um it is a very, very, very difficult uh thing to operate right now. um, um, under this feeling of fear and trauma, we can be angry about the fact that these values are feeling feel we can condemn it, but it will not change the reality that these rarely societies. i'm heavily traumatized right now off to domestic hills from us on october 7th. and we do need
8:55 am
to understand that there are spaces in our society to convince, to try and view this politic of narrative display as it goes towards that. the occupation does not serve us as these values that we do not em game any safety, any states like out of our pressing millions of people that live on the same land that get less rights than us or no rights at all. or why we live on the land and control the people that are not the citizens of our country. and we do need to understand that i'm working in these very society trying to change this trends to change this government to change. also the other governments, i acknowledge that also. busy other governments also leading to the left have deepened documents and, and, and, and oppress the palestinian people as well. but there's no way to bypass the easily society, there's no way to bypass the busting and society. there are 2 people living on this
8:56 am
land, 7000000 product students, and they're going nowhere but next to them, 7000000 jewish people and they're going nowhere as well. so we need to understand that he wanted to build the political capacity with or, or the political will with our society to achieve peace, to end occupation, to end this work. it's a hard work. it's not that we're very rewarding one. yeah, but we need to engage in it. let me thank you so much. i want to give a mirror the last word. hey, i'm a mirror. we know all the see. there are people from one of the world looking at this, thinking they desperately want to help. what can people be doing at this stage? just a very, very briefly, please. so i think that, you know, it's really important that we're looking at the big picture. i know that it's really emergency events, sometimes we're compelled to be reactive. we might want to just donate to an organization that's offering some sort of through supply or other humanitarian needs. but i think that we need to zoom out. we need to look at the bigger picture and we need to look at sustainability here. so i really urge your anyone that's
8:57 am
wanting to help donate. i'm never going to stop people from wanting to contribute to the very serious needs. but i think that, you know, we need to start taking these actions and these conversations to the next step. we need to be organizing locally, nationally, regionally, and internationally. look at health records for palestine as an example. it's got stems from 2 doctors in the u. k. who didn't know, did not want to be censored any longer. and speaking out, install the diety with health work is in palestine, and specifically in odessa, underscore now to a global movement. you don't have to know all of the steps that you need to take in front of you, but you just need to know that you want. as we've all said here today, just just for the palestinians and to sans which you might have to you and to work together collectively to end the siege and the occupation, not just in regards to that but in palestine. because if we don't do that, this is going to continue. this isn't the 1st time starvation has been used as a weapon in the gaza. thank you so much. a mirror lonely and somebody to thank you so much for joining us today. and of course, thank you for watching. once again,
8:58 am
