## Transcript

And so we seen evacuation orders today issued for all about the east of Saladin and then a stretch of neighborhood is just west of Saladin and Rafa. The total population impacted by graduation orders is approximately 100,000 people are concerned of course is 1.4 million people displaced multiple times and almost 4:30 with your children. If innocent civilians are not given the opportunity to move before an operation would start in Rasta. The results would be catastrophic for the 1.4 million people almost half of our children as well as the United Nations and the international humanitarian Community.

You will not evacuate from Gaza. We're here to provide Aid and response to the people who are innocent civilians and were caught in this horrible conflict. We intend to stay and deliver to continue providing Services. We have extended our footprint from Raphael to terabella in terms of our staffing and we may operate out of your bella. We will stay and deliver. I was specifically for people to choose to relocate from Raza elsewhere. We will not leave them. In fact, we will follow them. I specifically will be one of the last people to leave her off at once to everybody who chooses to move has moved and we will provide Aid to people whenever they choose to be that and Raphael communist the middle area Gaza or north of Gaza and should be protected and have access to a to meet their basic needs and wherever they are as I said that with in Gaza the United Nations and international humanitarian Community will work to ensure the people get the United Nations coordination throughout all the movements that require coordination with the Israeli Defense Forces the risks that are the same as the rest for the rest of the United Nations as well as the International Community community meant for us to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I think about her very good relationship with the IDF. Currently on the lower level with coordination. I think they've acted professionally we have had some challenges. We all try to work through we do have problems were sometimes we're waiting across checkpoints are the links of top. I'm that we have to wait till it is a bit excessive and it's also lost opportunity, but we could be doing it for not sitting at the checkpoint. All our fuel currently comes into Rafa from Egypt into Gaza where it's delivered everything that we do in Gaza revolves around fuel Healthcare food a delivery of the most important thing as we continue to get fuel in on the daily basis.

So our operation can continue to function and we can continue to provide Aid to the 2.2 million people who reside here and Gaza.
