 As Israel's genocidal attack on Gaza continues, the Al-Shifa Hospital, which was a shelter for thousands, has almost been evacuated. In this special weekend edition of Daily D Brief, we bring you the latest from this brutal war on the Palestinian people. The Al-Shifa Hospital has almost been entirely evacuated as Israel's attacks continue. There were reports that Israel had given it an hours' ultimatum for the evacuation of this facility, although Israel is of course denied it. This is happening even as relief work has been significantly affected and food shortages are mounting. Israel has also refused to heed a UN Security Council resolution calling for humanitarian pause. For more details, we go to Abdul. Abdul, thank you so much for joining us. So quite a lot of developments happening in Palestine. Let's first go to the Al-Shifa Hospital, which is where a lot of the media coverage has been focusing on as well. What's really happening on the ground? We've seen that a vast majority of the hospital at least has been evacuated as of now. In Al-Shifa Hospital, there was a confusion today whether Israelis have asked for evacuation or not. The hospital staff claimed repeatedly that there was an ultimatum given by Israelis to vacate the hospital within an hour and given the fact that there are large number of patients inside the hospital, some of them cannot even move. Of course, this is considered to be another level of atrocity which Israel has been doing for more than a month, almost one and a half months now. But Israelis later on claim that they have not asked for evacuation. But despite their claims, it seems that local Israeli forces have forced a majority of the patients out of 600 patients, more than 450, were forced to leave the hospital on Saturday afternoon and a few of them are still remaining, which of course cannot move. There are also reports that a large number of patients have also been killed inside the hospital because whatever medical staff could not do whatever they wanted, what is required to be done, primarily because whatever the health facilities were there inside the hospital have completely been destroyed because of the repeated attacks and raids made by the Israeli ground forces inside the hospital. So right now, as per the latest report, a majority of the patients have been forced out of the hospital, they have taken the road to the south of the Gaza and still a small number of patients remain inside because they cannot move and that has been the latest report from the hospital. But Abul, also could you maybe tell us what is the larger picture regarding the offensive because I think reports say that despite the Israeli attempts to clear the whole of northern Gaza, hundreds of thousands of people are still in that area, at the same time a huge number also moving towards the south. Yeah, majority of the northern Gaza population remains in that territory despite the attacks, despite both the ground and air attacks which have been carried out by Israel, as I said before, more than one and a half months now. And as per the latest reports, which we were able to gather until Friday, more than 800,000 Palestinians are still remaining inside the northern Gaza. Of course, a part of the population has moved south, primarily the most vulnerable section of the Palestinian population or the people whose houses, residential areas or the other basic facilities have completely been destroyed, or the patients who were forced out of those hospitals, all the hospitals in northern Gaza have been shut and therefore the patients have no other alternative but to move south where still some hospitals are still operational. So a section of population has of course moved south and still moving, but a majority of the population in northern Gaza still remains there. Apart from that, of course, the Israeli airstrikes and ground offensive continues, scores of Palestinians have been killed in the last 24 hours and the number of total number of Palestinians killed in last since October 7 has crossed 12,000 mark. There are reports of increasing starvation. UN agencies have warned on Friday that if the way it is continuing, a large number of Palestinians do not have enough food to eat in the last bakery was destroyed on Friday in the Israeli strike and it has stopped functioning. So a majority of the Palestinians who are dependent on it, of course, the aid is also filtering in a very small amount because of the Israeli restrictions and UNRWA, one of the basic agencies, which basically carries out the relief work to a very large extent in the Gaza, even when the war is not happening on the other days, has basically kind of expressed its inability to continue its operation, which would be a complete disaster if that happens primarily because there is no fuel and there has been repeated targeted attacks against its worker. So after all these pressures created, it seems that Israeli government has agreed to allow two trucks of fuel inside Gaza through Rafa border. But again, the relief agencies and the authorities in Gaza are claiming that two trucks of fuel is not enough, primarily because the extent and the number of people affected and the size of the territory, the number of amenities which required to be run, including the hospitals will need several times more the amount which is allowed inside the Gaza at this hour. And therefore, the overall humanitarian situation is becoming bad towards and there are imminent threats of starvation, imminent threats of epidemic breakouts like cholera and other serious diseases and which can kind of create a large number of large havoc in the Gaza, which is already suffering. Abdul, you mentioned UNRWA, its director, its head basically saying I think that there is a deliberate attempt to strangle UNRWA operations as well, which is actually very dramatic statement considering it comes from the head of the UN agency. Yeah, of course, it is deliberate. There is no doubt about it. He of course, because he is a diplomat, he has to kind of be kind of, in fact, if you see UNRWA statements, they refrain to name Israel in their statements, primarily because they don't want to kind of invite even Harsher reaction and complete shutting down of their operation. And Israel is capable of it. They did it with the UN officials after Guterres said that what happened on October 7 was not without a context. So of course, one can understand why despite the fact that there are diplomatic constraints, UNRWA chief comes out and says that there has been, not Israel of course, but there is evidence that there is an attack on the UNRWA officials, then they're deliberately depriving them from basic necessities like fuel, is all of this is happening with a particular scheme. And that scheme basically is to kind of basically make all these assumptions dysfunctional and make the Palestinians suffer more. And so of course, that is the larger implication of his statement. He said that fuel is used as a weapon, correct? And who is using it? Of course, of course, Israelis. So yeah, that is the overall situation in the Gaza Strip. And now it is becoming much, in fact, much more, most of the agencies are becoming much more assertive. They have a friend from naming Israel primarily because, as I said before, because of the fear that this will lead to even the harsher reaction from the Israelis. And Abdul finally also a resolution passed by the UN Security Council a few days ago. Important to note that even this resolution does not call for a ceasefire. It just once again mentions the word pause. But even this pause apparently is too much for Israel to accept. Israel, I think is in no mood to accept any kind of pause earlier, there were statements given by the Israeli government that they're ready for some pauses under it kind of some kind of arrangement with the US. And it seems because of that understanding, even the powers like China and Russia, which realize that if nothing else is happening, at least let's agree to some pauses. And that's why the resolution was finally adopted. But it seems that Israel at this condition, things that kind of pausing its indiscriminate bombing or ground offensive, even for some are will lead to its larger objective of kind of completely wiping out Palestinians from most of Gaza will not be realized. And it may get delayed because, of course, there are constraints in domestic Israeli politics also. In fact, when Israeli government allowed two trucks of fuel to pass through rough border, it has led to a large opposition emerging within the Israeli system where the extremist right wing groups have said that this is not a this is very classless basically on behalf of the Israeli government. So given the larger political constraints and with the objective with which Israeli government is operating in Gaza, even the pauses at this moment, they think is not viable and therefore they are not ready to do it and they want to achieve whatever the goals they have completely before any end to the atrocities are made. Thank you so much for that analysis. We'll come back to you on Monday and see, you know, where we are at the suffering of the Palestinian people continues at this point. Thank you so much.
