Transcript

00:00move forward and then quickly on ghf my colleagues and i reported that there were a number of internal

00:04concerns about funding ghf that were raised prior to the approval can you say whether the secretary

00:10was aware of those concerns and why that approval was granted despite these yeah i know we've we've

00:17had that conversation before um first of all i can give you an update there's now 69 million meals

00:23that have been distributed to date at four distribution centers all while preventing

00:29hamas looting which is of course an incredible uh feat it should be commended and supported i think

00:35most of us do we also call on other aid agencies and the u.n to participate in this system it has

00:43been implemented and it works uh and of course this is part of the creative solutions that the

00:48president has asked for regarding that region uh when it comes to the uh the activity that is

00:54happening uh or allegations that are made or uh the framework of of uh what we're trying to achieve

01:02i think that we're looking at a dynamic where it is a war zone it's the same uh issues that we've been

01:08discussing about the the task of getting humanitarian aid to people who need it the world has clamored for

01:14this and it's happening and i think at this point um when we look at the nature of of uh the the number

01:21of meals that have been delivered and the efforts that have to be taken to save those lives uh it's

01:28it is to be commended it's not certainly nothing will be perfect i've said this before that it can't

01:33be perfect because it is an unnatural obscene environment and for people looking for perfection

01:39in a war zone like that being terrorized by terrorists uh to demand perfection or a new normal

01:46of this environment is unacceptable nothing will be enough and so that's why we've got to have a

01:51solution and an end a durable ceasefire and a durable peace uh because otherwise uh it the suffering uh

01:58and the carnage continues and that's what we're working to end all right yes alex
