1:41 am
the ashifa medical complex, massive and unbelievable destruction andfolded after the israeli tanks uh withdrew from those areas, we are talking about roughly two consecutive weeks of the brutal aggression that uh touched and reached everything there according to the eyewitnesses and according to the people there and the medical... staff and the civil defense crews that the entire buildings inside the ashifa medical complex were completely or bartially destroyed in addition to uh those buildings that were set on fire by the israeli occupation forces uh the entire complex were reduced to a mass grave that included hundreds of the palestinian dead bodies according to the medical staff and the civil defense. cruise that at least 300 palestinian dead bodies uh
1:42 am
were found ubicutus in those areas inside the buildings uh inside the complex and outside the complex they found a plathora of the basina dead bodies uh handscaffed and blindfolded they were executed in cold the blood by the israeli incubation forces uh those dead bodies actually uh include uh the children the elderlies and the women uh the the... that the whole people particularly who were stranded and who were beseged inside the ashifa medical complex, they were tortured, they were uh found stripped down by the israel incubation forces, as i've mentioned, they were uh blindfolded and had cuffed and they were uh executioned by the israeli incubation forces, needless to mention that even the surrounding areas of the shif medical complex, the entire squares, the horizontal squares there were completely this... tried by the israeli kicubation forces. i kind of a loss for words here, because when i heard what our corresponded
1:43 am
there said, uh, it is uh quite shocking, and uh, we continue to get shocked by this genocide that's unfolding. i mean, this is happening in real time. he mentioned how there were 300 bodies that were recovered, uh, there were uh many that were blindfolded, amongst them were women and children, and these are people that were trying to uh take refuge inside the hospital. um, so this is just really. it obviously defines the word genocide that's taking place, but what are your thoughts on what you just heard from a correspondent in terms of what has happened at the al shif hospital? my thoughts are very similar to yours, that the horror is building upon horror and deeper horror every day, and one finds it difficult to find words and your reporter who does fantastic job is to be congratulated for finding the words to describe and bring to us the the horror of what's happening, i mean, given what, given
1:44 am
what's going on, and given that america has decided to continue to send more bombs to israel to drop on gaza, it's clear that as the price we paid for decades and decades of crime against the people of palestine, slow motion genocide over very long time, this was an open vein in the surface of the world. and it was bleeding horribly, but given that this has taken such a long time to to come to this horrible climax, it seems to me that the price we're paying for allowing this to happen for decades is that israel is dragging the world into a new era of barbarism, new darkness, and i think the ferocity of the of the killings, the the genocidal violence is caused by two reasons, one that they know that they don't have a long..." term future that ultimately 250, 300, 400 million people
1:45 am
in the area can prevail against seven, despite the their their modern technology, and there's a sense of this at the back of the israeli mind, but also they got such a fright after during october the 7th when the palestinian resistance they thought was was defeated, was broken, could easily be contained by their huge military superiority and and an air bridge of bombs from washington, and also some from from britain and brussels, they thought that they could uh that they could manage the situation and it it's clear that they can't, that's talking to us there from garabala, we appreciate it and also like to... to thank mick napier from the solidarity campaign in edinburgh, thank you, and with that we come to an end for this news review. welcome back everyone, you're watching press tv, world news. israel has confirmed attack its positions by the iraqi

what gaza is suffering from israeli crimes and oppression, then there is no good in us. "the significance of such gatherings and advocating for the palestinian cause on an international level was underscored, particularly following the united nations security council's inability to stop israel's genocide in gaza despite a recent resolution. there is no doubt that this conference is gaining very great momentum and comes a time when gaza is suffering from ongoing injustices and aggression and also in light the approaching international ots day. this is the day that yeman." go out to send the message to the world that the palestinian cause is still live in the hearts of muslims, especially the yemani people, and that it will not die no matter how hard the zionist enemy tries to kill and annihilate it, organized on the lead up to the celebration of international quds day in yemen, a day designated by the founder of iran's islamic revolution ayatullah khumaini to annually

mobilize the world's of free people in support of the palestinian cause. "since the beginning of the israeli genosader war on gaza, official and public events to show solidarity with the oppressed people of palestine have continued unabated. many here believe that palestine would always remain the central cause of the nation as long as palestinian territories remain under israeli occupation. reporting, israel's campaign in gaza has been among the deadliest and most destructive campaigns of genocide. we'd ever seen, and besides thousands of human losses, airrades have also damaged or totally destroyed all types of infrastructure, including homes, mosks, un shelters, schools and medical centers. we taken a closer look at this issue earlier in our explainer program. the us is early onslot on the gaza's
1:50 am
trip is one of the most destructive genocidal air campaigns ever. raising entire neighborhoods to the ground, killing tens of thousands and causing damage that could take decades to repair, well the structural devastation is almost as shocking as the loss of lives itself, drawing reactions from many world leaders, like this one from the eu foreign policy chief joseph barall who said this destruction is one of the most intense in history comparable if not higher to levels of destruction of german cities during the second world war. the source of the damage is due to the us bombs that have been dropped in the gaza strip. in total, 7,00 tons of these explosives have been dropped in the gaza strip. this number is surely to rise since the israeli regime will be receiving new batch of us 5002 pound bombs. well, the destruction of buildings, damaged or
1:51 am
destroyed is mapped out here in this map. uh, the largest destruction has occurred in northern gaza, 81% of the total buildings there. uh, in terms of the number, 37,100. the grand total amounts to 177,00. it's kind of hard to see here, but... that accounts for 61.1% of the total buildings in the gaza strip. this is what has been fact checked. other figures are much higher than this. now when it comes to the types of buildings, damaged or destroyed, that's very important. these figures show that some of the notable ones, the press headquarters at 165 schools including universities coming in at 405, and then you have mosques 227. and here's the one that hurts. the most 244 medical facilities and hospitals, keep in mind that these are the ones that have been completely destroyed, then comes the infrastructure destruction,
1:52 am
250 kilometers of roads, that's 78% of the total roads, 130 wells, 56.2%, and 130 kilometers of water networks 84%, and then the soul gaza power plants, the only power plant in the gaza strip out of service, especially due to lack of fuel, this is why gazins are fight. for their lives actually, well israel is also after erasing palestine's heritage in the gaza strip, some of the examples of that that we picked monasteries, mosks, churches, palaces, archaeological hills and historic houses, you can see the figures there, the one that stands out here was the historic houses, as matter of fact, this one here, the great amari mosk, it's built in the 12th century and one of the most important and largest historical mosques in...
