STORYLINE:

STANDUP 1 (English): SANAA KAMAL, Xinhua reporter in Gaza
"As the military war between Hamas and the Israeli army in the besieged coastal enclave approached the first 100 days in a row, the Palestinians here in Gaza are complaining that they are still struggling to stay alive as well as they are struggling to obtain their basic needs like food, water, electricity, as well as homes without having any security amid the ongoing Israeli airstrikes that attack everywhere in the besieged coastal enclave including those areas that are considered by the army as safe places."

SOUNDBITE (Arabic): MOHAMMED SOKAR, Displaced Palestinian in Gaza
"Our life was very joyful and we were living in safety, but look at how our situation changed. We used to live in a house. Now, I live in a tent without the minimum necessities of life. I have been here for more than two weeks and have not received any food aid." 

STANDUP 2 (English): OHOOD AL-JAGHOUB, Xinhua reporter in Ramallah
"The United States and Britain have carried out military strikes in Yemen in response to the Houthi's attacks on ships in the Red Sea, raising fears of an escalation of conflict in the region; the Houthi armed group has been attacking ships heading towards Israel since Oct. 7, in protest to the Israeli aggression on Gaza and cutting off food, water, fuel, and aid from Palestinians living in the enclaved territory."

STANDUP 3 (English): ZHANG TIANLANG, Xinhua correspondent in Jerusalem
"Israel's Prime Minister's Office announced on Friday evening that Israel reached an agreement with Qatar to allow the delivery of vital prescription drugs to Israeli hostages in Gaza.
According to the statement, the medication will be delivered in the next few days.
Local media have reported that the negotiations between the two countries also included talks about increasing the quantity of medicines that Israel allows into Gaza for civilians. However, the statement did not mention whether progress has been achieved on this issue."
