12:03 pm
this? well, the latest we are, uh we're getting it from the city of ton unit center around the vicinity of i'm in the hospital where it was this form of the early our hours of room last night is really time sun would have the machine guns and our to and tank till the storm, the external fence and buildings of the facilities of the hospital and the injured at least 10 people. but right now we're getting a confirmed report of that. a quad captors that shooting at people inside the facility. it's important to point out that this facility has been a main shoulder for 100, the palestinian displays and from eastern part of hon. units on the central part of some of those who were filtering and not the parts, but the within the past few weeks then. and since the beginning of the expansion of the, of the military operations in hon units, the security guard was shot and killed inside the facility, the more reports about acquired cap through his art shooting heavily at people who
12:04 pm
are inside the facility. what seems to be an attend vida is really mandatory to evaluate the hospital completely by forcing people leaving the buildings under heavy machine guns. and the attacks by these drawn attacks the quite a captors in other parts of hon. you and is that around the vicinity of mazda of the hospital and the southern part of the city. not only were seeing an intense bombing campaign by this very military, but also reports about, for years confrontation and battle is going on between policy and finding groups. as well as these really military, similar situations right now are taking place around the vicinity of chiva hospital work since early hours of this morning is really times pushed around the vicinity of a ship at hospital complex and shooting at people are being sold during inside the facility of the hospital, the husband is largely non functional, non operate to now doesn't provide any sufficient medical services whatsoever since

12:06 pm
palestinians. have you seen anything change in the way it is rarely use are conducting their operation, their military operation and gaza over the last 5 days of the well, sir, are quite the contrary. what was seen on the ground every, every action so far by it is really military just fits within the characterization of a genocide, the ruling explicitly on it on equivocal. you request that i have from these really military and those ready governments to stop and seize all acts of genocide. but we're seeing on the ground is the quite the opposite. more displacement, more destruction, more people are being killed in the northern parts and in gaza. city in the central air and here in the over crowded southern parts of the city. just one thing that caught my attention that by the report by alter about the level of destruction
12:07 pm
caused by this genocide, the war is the devastation and the destruction caused by the ongoing bombings. it's estimated by about 8000000 metric tons of debris is that is likely take years to be removed before any efforts of reconstruction. rebuilding parts of, of life across the gaza strip. that fits app lane, the characterisation of destroying every means of life. a k, a genocide, committed atrocities committed by it is really a military, honeywell who would reporting from rafa and southern gaza. thank you very much. the united nations secretary general has met, major donors of owner, was a un agency for palestinian refugees. antonio gutierrez was seeking to reassure a member states that temporarily suspended their funding for the agency that is after israel accused 12 or otherwise approximately $30000.00 employees of taking

12:12 pm
saving an irreplaceable work in garza, he deemed it necessary to preemptively dismiss these the staff members for the sake of everything else. but also for the sake of due diligence, the commissioner general asked that you went the secretary general, antonio gutierrez, to restore the situation to the highest investigation authority and that you went in new york. so we worked on several tracks together with the primary goal being the continuation of our replaceable and light saving work in gaza. we have 13000 staff in gaza. it takes a very, very complex review to be able to match names that we received from the government of israel with names of our employees. but if i may hear reminder that the owner was shares the full list of names of the staff in the west bank including east
12:13 pm
jerusalem with israel every year or so. the list is known. the list of our staff is known to the government of israel. every year the political leader of hamas is my and the a says he's received the ceasefire proposals for the war on gaza. and that follows talks in power, standing washington on a possible deal to stop the fighting. and the a says that he will travel to the egyptian capital cairo for further discussions, but is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu insist that he will not end the war without achieving all his goals. i use statements about all kinds of deals. so i want to make it clear, we will not end this war without achieving all our goals. and that means the elimination of how much the return of all hostages and a promise that garza will no longer pose a threat to israel. we will not take the idea out of the gaza strip and we will not release thousands of terrorists. none of this will happen. what will happen?
12:14 pm
absolute victory is ok. let's talk to rory, challenges unoccupied, east jerusalem for some wider context around this. really help us understand where the public debate currently stands right now on how it israel, on how the country should be handling the war. well of course there are, there's plenty of discussion about the will going on is rather than having plenty of discussion about this, i propose deal uh as well to give a ceasefire and return to the exchange of more concepts. and you know, uh, a multi stage process go your own, i have a month. the cynical voice is the skeptical voice is a saying, this is a bad deal that they don't trust how much one inch they don't think how much he's going to release for halls, the captives that would weaken that hands. therefore, why should israel offer a ceasefire for something that is not equitable? that's certainly the view in the fall of rights. all of the governing competition,
12:15 pm
the finance minister and smart the but it could be said that he will actually torpedo that the government. he'll bring it down to walk away from it. he's smith and the yahoo accepts the deal that he doesn't like. now that's me all i, he's going to have to commit to the deal one way or the other. uh, some points soon. um and discharges that the pressure is really a kind of mounting for him. troubles on the horizon. desert poles that was recently done for his ready tv tunnel 12, which suggests that if an election was held some more than the governing coalition, which currently has $64.00 seats and the can that's it would go down to $44.00 seats and that's uh, some figures within the government coalition, a life threatening of a little small church might actually lose the positions completely that that policies might be at house of the running out of excessive and tati. and there's
12:16 pm
another story this very interesting to you this or rather than my with this is in 2 of the newspapers today. this is my rear of the same story is in the jerusalem post . and this is about a plan supposedly fall off of the war for going. is that going as a plan is one of the headline says here. now this is appears to be a leak to the papers. they say it's the plan drafted by a group of businessmen with close ties and that's and yahoo! so the papers are interpreting it as a sort trial balloon from the net from yahoo government presented to the americans . and the plan, as the papers reported, is that split off to the will that will be a several stage process. full gauze. and the 1st stage with the military government run by the is right. and these are transitional period of that. then leading into a 13 you promised in, you know, thirty's or not how much uh, notifies a box by an international uh, arab coalition. and then if that went smoothly in 2 to 4 years, they might well be
12:17 pm
a palestinian state. now, how always to interpret this is a, conus, is it, since it is a genuine? well mentioned, y'all have often said some things to the americans, and then other things to the is riley's. and of course, we know that next me all here is a much of his political career, has worked against a 2 state solution. so i fax or was that when you're assessing this, but at least it gives you some idea of into the kind of political maneuvering and the thinking that might be going on in as well at the moment. no, absolutely. and no, no, we definitely will heed your advice, in fact, all that in, but it's all good information, good contacts. thank you very much. rory, challenge reporting from occupied east jerusalem. the still ahead on al jazeera, the ukraine take steps to help children deal with the trauma of experiencing war and displacements and sensors for the 2nd time in 24 hours. we will have the latest on pakistan's,

12:26 pm
i've had no choice but to take online lessons since the school was closed and off my struggles to focus on these arabic cloths this. now here is the good. our school has great facilities. it has a big playground for sports. there's really good education there. the school we were moved to had no space for us at the beginning of the war, the soldiers used to come in front of our school gate. yes, it's safer there, but i hope we can go back to our main school one day jamal, how much sits with his nephew taking a geography? listen in another room. that was online learning is nothing compared to appropriate school education. there are so many distractions when they're studying at home. a palestinian children have had their education disrupted by as well as of the patient but decades. the universal right of children like ultimate to learn and

12:28 pm
touched by will the copier. mountains of the perfect place for recovery. but many of the stuff are themselves from the cities ravaged by war, such as psychologist julia from mary paul. some of the trauma is multi dimensional and it's not just the few they experience from the bombing. it's the fear of occupation, the fear of losing loved ones separation believe many, especially young children, such as 12 year old carrillo struggled to talk about their experiences. last time, we would take it into buses. he tells us to attempt in russia, where we stayed for a bit over a month, but that's about who will he can we can't. 17 year old you have him was in the same group and remembers the joy of returning home. the home when we got home, i 1st emotions were meeting my friends and family again. there was join more
12:29 pm
ukraine estimates about 20000 children have been forcibly relocated to russia since the start of the full scale invasion nearly 2 years ago. despite repeated efforts and international mediation, only about 400 children have been returned. the 4th removal has led to will crimes charges against moscow allegations, the key hopes will one day reach an international court. for now, the focus is on reclaiming ukrainian children and helping them recover from mcbride . i'll just say era is that capacity or region? ukraine as being mars military governments says it is easing election, registration, rules for political parties. the announcement comes just before the 3rd anniversary of the military clue and hours before 6 months. state of emergency is due to expire . it has been repeatedly extended since the military takeover leaders of the june to have pledge to hold elections and return to democratic rule. but they haven't said when tony chang is following developments from john ryan in northern thailand,
