described to us as tragic and reiterated his cool for sustainable ceasefire. my problem and to call it this is someone who is volunteering this is to provide, i threw these charity for people who are suffering a tremendous differ vice in gaza. and this is just completely unacceptable. we want full accountability for these because this is a tragedy that should never have a good. the israeli army said it would conduct a review of what happened is a profession on military committed to international law. we're committed to examining operations thoroughly and transparently. we will be opening a probe to examine the serious incidents of this will help us reduce the risk of such an event from occurring again. well,

central kitchen has announced its posing itself directions in the region until further notice. earlier our reaction from sariah lee, she joined us from rafa in gaza, where she is working as the global media manager for safe for children international. i think everybody here in rasa and garza today is heartbroken. the news is absolutely devastating, and i think it speaks to the gravity of the situation on the ground. we know that humanitarian aid, where kids, health was no enforcement protecting humanitarian operations, has been at times quite as really as strikes. and this needs to stop. we need to policy that his international humanitarian law. we know that humanitarian aid work is, should never be targeted. and the situation on the ground here in gaza is continuing to deteriorate as well, has stopped short of our claiming responsibility for this attack. but they have promised an independent investigation. i'm wondering what,

what this means for your organizations plans to continue providing aid in gaza? does it, does it give you pause? are you rethinking security as well? the news is just broken, of course, and i think everybody now is looking at what we can really achieve. i think the difficulty is we know how great the need is right now. just today we were in a hospital with pediatric doctors and nurses. here. we still eyesore a 6 year old. busy a who's missing an um we know that more than a 1000 children since the beginning of the school have not either one of the names the need instead of great children or the darn as malnutrition. and dehydration disease is ramping in gaza. and it's really difficult for humanitarian aid workers because we had to do our job and on the job is becoming increasingly honda. and this is something that should never happen. and that's why we're working with these children interest dire circumstances to save the children. then also get

reassurance as from israel about its ability to operate safely and provide this kind of assistance do we have security mechanisms in place? of course, the situation is fluid on that, you know, i can't comment on that right now, but while i can say is that we, we know that right now, no way to say thank god say you monetary and aid workers. john and this health workers have been attacked. we lost one of our colleagues here in december and, and we, we just have more than anything that old policies in this conflict can adhere to international humanitarian law to ensure this protection. but we know right now that the only thing really that will protect civilians, families and children, hey, in gaza, is a definitive ceasefire. we need a ceasefire as quickly as possible. it's been 6 months this pre to will and children hearing cause it cannot wait any longer. we need to see action from the international communities. i'd like to ask you

a little bit more about what you've seen in your work. in the field there yesterday, the the destruction of all she for hospital became clear after israel's withdrawal . what is the lack of a facility like that mean for children's access to health care and gaza. the children's access to health care has been decimated. we've seen a tax on hospitalized and we know that the entire population is facing assignments . and of course not the technical classification, but we're already seeing children dying as a result. as malnutrition and dehydration on the streets had as complete over crowding. and you know, raso was home to around 275000 people before the war began. and now an estimated 1500000 people a crumb in this tiny patch of land. and overwhelmingly there are children everywhere. i've seen children on the streets with no shoes, bloody beats covered and brushes, and you know, we met one family,

a mother who lost a child in an ass strike. and she's now sheltering in a tent with 30 other people. and she is sharing a boss from a 200 other people, the conditions a dia, hit and rock the and they will continue to get west until a ceasefire. it is agreed to because we know the bones continuing to drop. and if the bones don't kill the children, we know that disease, dehydration and malnutrition. well, thank you so much for joining us on dw newsletters that sariah lee with safe to children international. siri and officials, the se in is riley air strikes, has destroyed part of it runs a diplomatic compound in damascus, and runs revolutionary guards. as one of its senior commanders was killed along with several officers in the suspect. it is rarely ever strike a foreign ministry spokesperson and tyrants as it is, considering its responds and punishment for the attack. this is what's

left of the rain in conceal it in damascus. officials say, and these railey strikes on the building code, several people, including members of the runs is lumnick, revolutionary god. it was not to deal with strongly condemned. this criminal act carried out by the zionist enemy, which led to the death of some innocent citizens who are passing by the streets and you almost. so again, we emphasize out position, besides brothers in the arabian embassy, and the as why mac republican be around it. and we can assure that syria and the atlantic republic, don't forget the enemy's sort of yeah, what did you want to go to? some of the last one, the other among the dead is brigadier general mohammed res. as a haiti, he was a talked to amanda in the elite codes for us, the, for an operations of these, why mac revolutionary god? these riley nutri hasn't commented on the attack there. israel has been increasing

its operations against iran land forces in syria since the october 7th. how much terror attacks iran says it reserves the right to retaliate. i've got, we told you before, the zionist entity knows very well that such crimes and any kind of crimes will not remain without respond as rescues kind through the rubble for survivors or body use concerns over a rapid escalation of violence in the region arising. i spoke earlier to military analyst marina moran from kings college london and i asked her why is ro might striking a raining and diplomatic compound in syria as well. israel has been conducted and what is known as targeted killings. namely, eliminating high value targets such as pruitt, your generals are heavy, and it's been going on since the beginning of the syrian civil war. so it's been going on for more than

a decade. now the situation is of course precarious because israel needed something to weaken house, blah, and to secure its nose and border. and in order that to begin a week and a half of a lot, if it was important to eliminate the key player who has been coordinating operations was hospitalized from the rain inside. and this was precisely generals of heavy. so perhaps the timing is odd because it's real how to act on intelligence . we don't know how many times they have tried to eliminate him, but that it has been a name of israel it's. it's no surprise. and how much does killing the leadership. in fact, we can, has the law here. the problem is that the ram has lost a very high ranking official. so this is a greatest loss of since the killing of consent, fully money and generals

a heavy, he's been to get back to have since the running and revolution in the assignment convolution in regards course. so he has great experience in terms of conducting these sorts of operations. releasing him will not be easy. so in the short term, israel is hoping to at least we can and disrupt passable less operations. however, in the long term, will this be enough? just eliminating one of the generals in the higher key because somebody else will most likely replace him. let's think about what iran is response might be here. we've heard of president abraham raw, you see saying that israel's attack on errands console it will not go un answered. do you have a sense of what we might see from tyrone know, some of the most obvious responses that run could use is by activating as a proxies. however, it would seem like a banality, i think,

in this situation and random will take it's time to ensure a calibrated response because for a run, it's important to establish a credible deterrent. and therefore, iran will not only use the military instrument which is a blunt, this one, and i don't mean the uranium, the military not, not are attached certainly, but uranian affiliated group, such as a whole to use such as have full a. hey randy. ac used most likely, it's diplomatic ties with russia, because we have to remember that the russian forces are still in syria. and they have been moving to the syrian is fairly border. so it is possible that russia will act here as an intermediary, denying israel and the possibility of conducting those strikes. because up till now, russia has been conflicting with each row because as i said, these strikes on syrian territory to eliminate

a high value targets have been happening for a long time. so that is one of the possibilities. what else might come? we don't know, but i think that we will not see the response immediately. and i think for around being in a difficult situation, they will take their a time in order to formulate their response in such a ways that it doesn't trigger escalation in the region. because it would certainly not benefit the wrong. well, thank you so much as always, that is military analyst rena moran from kings college london. thank you for having me turning to some other news now and a data has bands. the production of german football shirts, customize the number 44 over concerns. it resembles a nazi symbol. critics say look similar to the and say be a worn by the infamous s s u. and that's responsible for some of the worst crimes committed under the nazis. data is denied that any similarity between the 2 was intentional and said a new font for number 4 would be designed. the german football association set on

social media that none of the parties involved in the design. so any resemblance and we'll leave it there. that is your news update at this hour are shown close up coming up next. or of course, if there's more online to f, t w dot com, the want me to other people in what it's in just a 100 days. my power is going to be part of my family. what killed, how was this age? i'm on a journey to find out about the roots of the 19 are to put you on the site, but they expect to see the rhonda. my name is some way to ship me there. i'm afraid it makes sweet shaming history out documents. rain stops april 6th on dw.
