06:52We're seeing a lot of damage to health care, for example.
06:57My colleagues on the ground were briefing me yesterday
06:58about the number of hospitals and clinics
07:01which have been hit in these attacks.
07:03So it's deeply troubling when you see that impact
07:06on civilian infrastructure.
07:09And as I say, schools, hospitals,
07:11these should be the first things
07:12that we're protecting in conflict.
07:14And from your context there on the ground,
07:16where are people moving towards?
07:17So many are moving up into Beirut.
07:20And we know there are large numbers of people sleeping rough now
07:23along the Beirut, Corniche, along the seafront there.
07:27Some are going into Syria.
07:28And so some of the Syrian refugees are going back to Syria.
07:31But now you also have some Lebanese refugees
07:33now moving into Syria as well.
07:35And then many are moving up into the mountainous areas
07:38where they feel they are more safe.
07:41Because the reality is that Israel has issued
07:43these instructions to civilians to move
07:45from vast, vast areas of the country.
07:48So it doesn't leave very much space for them
07:50to seek refuge.
07:51You're in Brussels this week.
07:53What is the role of the European Union here?
07:54And fill us in on your talks with Kaya Callas and others.
07:56So the EU is one of our most principled,
07:59reliable donors of humanitarian aid.
08:02And this year, we're looking to save 87 million lives globally.
08:07To do that, we're trying to raise $23 billion.
08:09Now, that's less than 1% of what the world will spend this year
08:13on guns and arms and defence.
08:15That $23 billion is probably less than the US has already spent
08:18on this conflict in the last two and a half weeks.
08:21So I'm here to talk to the EU about how they can back that plan.
08:24Really encouraging news, announcements coming today
08:27about more European funding to that hyper-prioritised plan.
08:31Because meanwhile, your funding has been completely cut left, right and centre.
08:34How are you coping with that?
08:35Oh, it's really rough.
08:37If I was running a business and I'd lost half of my funding in a year,
08:40then I probably wouldn't be in my job.
08:42You know, it's been really hard because what we're trying to do
08:44is reform the system.
08:45And that's something we're doing because we believe in reform,
08:47not because it's forced on us.
08:49Trying to save as many lives as we can,
08:52but without any stability or guarantee of the money coming in.
08:56And so all the time, I'm in Afghanistan, I'm in South Sudan,
09:01I'm in Ukraine and Darfur.
09:03Or seeing projects that I know will close and meeting people who I know will die.
09:08You're just back from Gaza.
09:10Tell us more about the fragile ceasefire there.
09:12It is fragile.
09:14I went in about two and a half months ago, just after we got the ceasefire deal.
09:18And as a result of that ceasefire, we've hugely scaled up the effort.
09:22So we were doing 1.6 million hot meals every day, for example.
09:25We got a lot of shelter in.
09:27We did a big immunisation campaign for cholera.
09:29It wasn't enough.
09:30And kids still died of hypothermia over what was a brutal winter.
09:33But it was a big improvement.
09:35Now, since this resumption of this conflict across the Middle East,
09:38our access has been restricted again.
09:41There's only one crossing open.
09:43Kerem Shalom, Kerem Abu Salam.
09:44So that means we get fewer trucks in,
09:47less aid, less food, less medicine, less water, less shelter.
09:50And tell us about Hamas' disarmament plans.
09:53Is that actually working?
09:54I think it was moving in the right direction.
09:57And we were seeing the appointment of a technocratic committee
10:00who were planning to go into Gaza and start to really run Gaza on that technocratic basis.
10:07But my concern at the moment is that that's all delayed by that wider escalation in the Middle East.
10:13We need to get back towards the two-state solution.
10:16And we need Israeli and Palestinian leadership that's committed to security, justice,
10:21and opportunity for Palestinians and Israelis.
10:24What about the situation in the West Bank?
10:25Did you visit the West Bank?
10:26We saw this week a family of six Palestinians went out for the day and only two came home.
10:31I worry that this is one of the other issues that's slipping down the agenda
10:34while we're all thinking about Iran, the Straits of Hormuz, and so on.
10:39You have very deliberate attacks from extremist settler groups at the moment
10:45against civilians across the West Bank.
10:48So we need the world to pay much more attention to what's going on there
10:51and to call for protection of civilians and accountability for those carrying out the attacks.
10:56And just a final reflection, perhaps. Do you have any hope for the Middle East?
10:59I have to have hope.
11:01You know, a famous peacemaker, George Mitchell, said,
11:05diplomacy is 799 days of failure and one day of success.
11:08So every day I wake up to probably the most horrible inbox in the world
11:13and my colleagues are going out there risking their lives every day to save lives.
11:18But I get to meet the civilians that we support across the Middle East.
11:22I get to hear their stories.
11:23I get to meet people who are surviving because of that humanitarian support.
11:28And that has to bring you hope.
11:29And ultimately, I'm an optimist about humans.
11:32I think we have these two competing instincts, one to fight for resource,
11:36and we're doing a lot of that right now, and those people are shouting pretty loudly.
11:39But another more important one, which is to work together as communities for that resource.
11:43And I believe ultimately that is the more powerful instinct that we have.
11:47And as long as I believe that, then I'll have hope.
11:50Thank you so much, Tom Fletcher, for being with us here on Euronews.
11:53Thank you.
11:58Thank you.
