00:00So we've just heard from the spokesperson of Onra, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is

00:07unprecedented. He's called it apocalyptic. When will Israel lift this block on aid?

00:13You know, it's very difficult to actually take anything that he says seriously, because we've

00:18heard these superlatives apocalyptic before. Last year, this time, there were reports on famines

00:25that were later refuted. So it's really, we have to take all of this talk with measure.

00:31What he did say, which is correct, is that during the ceasefire, there were floods and floods of

00:36humanitarian aid going in. And this is what people are eating. But what unfortunately is missing

00:43from his report is the fact that Hamas for a year and a half have been stealing humanitarian aid,

00:50selling it in the black market at a terrible premium for people. They're well stocked in their

00:57tunnels. And there are now demonstrations against the rule of Hamas because people understand the

01:05catastrophe they have brought on their own people. That's the first thing. And secondly, we can say

01:10that this could all be over in a second to return to 24 living hostages who are currently living

01:17like Holocaust sufferers in tunnels. Today's Holocaust Remembrance Day here in Israel. We have 24

01:24Holocaust sufferers at this very moment in the tunnels of Gaza.
