8:08 pm
was one of the glue these attacks. and we also important to mention them to point out that there was no any activity for any international humanitarian organization into another part of garza could be carried out. we bounce informed him to is really not a treat, at least in order to have access to this area, which was a csr for the is really military operations. and at the time, this part is very a trial of knowledge about the he didn't call the deliveries to another. ok, people have been gather, the people have been talking to on the east. very side have been just if you could just define what happened today is that the, are the good. the people have been imposing threats against these were the troops which were operating in the pontiff gone them, but again to the phone and that they were looking for something to eat and to feed their family members with absolutely tar place. and thank you very much for that reporting. thank you. also for the context, i note what you said that no humanity or in activity can be carried out. and no aid
8:09 pm
can be delivered in northern garza without israel's se, so. and without israel's knowledge. tar. thank you. very much now the un humanitarian affairs chief martin griffith says he is a pull that the killing of dozens of people while waiting for food. and his social media posts. griffith said, even after close to 5 months of brutal hostilities, gaza still has the ability to shock us. i'm appalled at the reported killing an injury of hundreds of people during a transfer of 8 supplies west of guys, a city today. this comes as the death toll across garza since october. the 7th hits the $30000.00 mark. life is draining out of gaza at terrifying speed. bernard smith is an occupied east jerusalem for more on this. bernard is real. acknowledges that it opened fire on palestinians, but it's not taking full responsibility for what happened. what are they saying happened and why do they say they opened fire?
8:10 pm
the serial is riley military brief, the media a few hours ago on what it says happened in northern gauze. or it says it'd be a truck to clear the why the gauze, the check point, this is a, this is a division that is right. was made to separate garza from the north and the south. it had gone through the why the cause a check point, and it was huge. crowds of people gathered around the age trucks and in the mail a to try and get it by aid. people are, are the crushed or even run over by the trucks in the middle years as a did not open fire at that stage. and then as a trucks pulled away said a large crowd of people approach these really military. they said they found the threatening, and that is why the troops opened fire and they say they fired people's likes accounting of a large number of shot gun wounds that have been seen in the hospitals in the received people injured by this. now, in these rarely media, there's been
8:11 pm
a lot of coverage of this, of course, the coverage, focusing on the fact that because of the high number of casualties, then this code for these rarely government into position where it could have to have a safe spot because of the international pressure that will come onto his route because of these large number of casualties, right? international pressure, it has been condemned by a number of countries, egypt, jordan, among them we'll see what the white house, the thing we'll get to that in a moment. first though, another story line out of israel today that i want bernard to talk to us about israel has seized nearly 3 square kilometers of palestinian land, near and illegal settlements in the occupied west bank. the move will establish a new settlement near molly. i do mean that's near occupied east jerusalem. an estimated 40000 is really settlers lived there. a central expansion is illegal under international law, yet it has ramped up significantly since the war on garza began. so bernard, back to you, why is israel taking this land?
8:12 pm
so old is rarely sacraments are illegal and in international law, but israel divides them into it has supplements and then it has what he calls a legal outpost. and last year the government set the 10 of those legal outposts could become full settlements. and the 1st of those has now been signed off by the military. the timing of this is fascinating because we only wound up on monday from the hague 6 days of coverage, all the ins national, at least national court of justice. what country up the country is, money is $50.00, argued that his rails, the quote to declare as well as occupation illegal because of the relentless settlements of the occupied westbank and the fight in the bodies preventing the palestinians from exercising their right to self determination. it was left to the us to have the fight list task of trying to defend the occupation by saying it shouldn't be an international court. it should be the power steering. and these, these riley's negotiating had to had with along the lines established by the un
8:13 pm
security council books. as we've seen today. these, the palestinians repeatedly say is riley is not playing by those rules. we have to go to the international court of justice because is rarely expanding its sacraments as proof we needed. there it is today with this decision to expand and take yet more around those settlements. everett smith reporting from occupied east jerusalem . thank you. bernard. in northern guys, a hunger is worsening as we've been reporting. remember the event this morning happened when palestinians were queuing to get food from those a delivery trucks, most pallets thing and families there. once a day at most, in jamalia, people are receiving just a trickle of humanitarian aid. finding food is a daily fight for survival between method and co reports. before we wake up to the screams of 4 children asking us for food. they ask us for
8:14 pm
food night and day. it's a busy morning for a boom, mood and his family in the carriage where they live. the women are cooking. these are pancakes made of animal feed. here in jamalia, they're lucky to find anything to eat. have even met the what my wife and daughters . ok. okay. we spend 4 days looking for this just to get one key to my wife and i will not eat because it will all go to the children and grandchildren. i cannot eat when they are starving for months now and old and gone. so it has been all but cut off from humanitarian aid. survival is a daily challenge. i have not been shot in so about then 2 months ago we were on the brink of a famine. now we are in a real seminar. you cannot find a kilo of flour or any food. and if you do the process a so expensive, this market might seem busy, but only at 1st glance, the vendors, but then the any bias. these are spices, not t,
8:15 pm
nothing substantial. this man is selling carrots and says they're affordable, but nobody's buying palestinians here. have nothing left. i haven't because i'm not going to get a feel of shame. do not have a cost with how much it costs. they looked at me a long offering. if i'm serious, i'm no longer sending pumpkins or anything spent several hours. it's enough to meet so lemons for $0.25 a key low. so they're not coming back to you. my friend, the thing is we ate clovers and grass, our children have died from starvation. we have run out of things to eat, and we are starving. we have no money to buy anything. everything is so expensive, which we use to buy for a dollar. now coasts 15 for these children and their families a ceasefire, is the final hope at least then. it should be easier to move around casa, searching for food, to make it through the day to meet you meant vanco out as 0. you as president joe
8:16 pm
biden has commented on today's events in the gaza, in the wake of the killing of a 104 palestinians waiting for food aid. he has said an agreement for a temporary cease fire by monday is unlikely to turn on. okay, our white house correspondent kimberly he'll get a standing by in washington dc on this. so obviously it's significant when the us president walks back his earlier optimism for a ceasefire. tell us everything you can around today statement or yeah it's, it's a little unusual given the fact that the us president just days earlier had expressed much more optimism about the potential for a temporary cease fire. had given an interview here in the united states and just
8:17 pm
prior to an election on tuesday in the battleground state of michigan, where there is a significant error of american population in which he said that he was optimistic, that there could be a cease fire. that his negotiating team was working very hard and there could potentially be one, a temporary cease part that could last weeks long. but it couldn't really allow for the release of captives that could allow for a deliveries into gaza. and then it could come potentially by monday, in addition to that, in reaction to the horrific incident involving today on thursday, be the dozens of people killed in gaza as they were awaiting the aid deliveries. the national security council put out a statement saying that we continue to work day and night to achieve an outcome of a potential temporary cease fire. so to have the president walk back the comments with regard to optimism towards
8:18 pm
a temporary cease fire is particularly unusual. given the fact that there had been so much optimism express from the white house just even hours and days earlier. okay, kimberly how good reporting there from washington. thank you very much. kimberly still ahead on al jazeera in chad, an opposition politician is killed during an army assault on his parties, headquarters, and macapp. those are meeting the the landlords day in the race for the president's watch. they will see millions votes across the 15 states as super tuesday looks set to move joe biden. and donald trump a step closer to a re match. stay with alger 0, so continue to cover it should be us elections 2020 because of the war. and you praise, run deep,
