6:39 am
lives. since the beginning of us campaign of genocide on gaza early october, over 32,800 people have so far been killed along with 75,400 injured. israel's campaign in gaza has been among deadliest and most destructive campaigns of genocide we've seen, and besides the thousands of human losses, air rates have also damaged or totally destroyed all types of infrastructure, including homes, mosks, schools, un shelters and medical centers. we take a closer look earlier at this issue and our explainer program. "the us is early onslot on the gaza strip 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
6:40 am
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 bararal 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, 70,000 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 50 and 2 pound bombs. well, the destruction of buildings damaged or destroyed is mapped out here in this map. the largest destruction has occurred in uh northern gaza, 81%. the total buildings there uh terms of the number 37,100, the grand total amounts to
6:41 am
177, 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 mosks 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, 250 kilometers of roads, that's 78% of the total roads, 130 wells (56.2%) and 130 k. of water networks, 84%, and then the soul gaza, power plants, the only power plant
6:42 am
in the gaza strip out of service, especially due to lack of fuel, this is why gazins are fighting 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 mosque, it's uh built in the 12th century and one of the most important and largest historical mosques in palestine, gone. naturally, some are asking, what is israel after? well, this is what many media organizations have said, quote, israel wants to make the gaza strip unfit for human habitation in the hopes that there will be large scale immigration for the ethnic cleansing of gaza's palestinian population. this is what many organizations believe is israel's intent in iraqi

6:45 am
in their 20s and 30s. in 1973 the average french person dedicated just 10% of their income to housing. in places like lisbon, that figure is now 63%. as the housing situation across europe is being called the worst it has been in 70 years. with winter prohibitions on on evictions ending with the arrival of spring, protests are being held across europe against the lack of affordable housing. houses are made for living in, and not for financial speculation. this is a fundamental truth which has been forgotten by successive french governments. they have turned their back on the many victims of our long-running housing crisis and across europe it's the same. what's worse is that they'll have many people evicted by landlords looking to cash out tourist money for the summer olympics. one out of four french people suffer from serious housing problem, so it's no surprise that better housing has been a
6:46 am
top issue for voters in election after election. there's a real lack of. decent, new and safe housing in france and europe, as much of our stock dates from after world war ii, the laws requiring that 20% of lodgings be made available to lower income citizens is not inforced, and we just don't see that the government cares about the incredible difficulty of finding affordable housing here in france. in paris, housing prices are up backbreaking 70% since 2009, the start of the great financial crisis. and the failed response of far right economic austerity. the hiking of interest rates in 2022 caused some housing markets in europe to decline slightly, but others continued to rise. that also caused building cost to sore, reducing private construction. housing groups insist that lodging issues could be fixed nationwide
6:47 am
in just five to 10 years, if the government's laws favored renters and regular citizens instead of. owners and real estate speculators, the primary culporate seems to lie in the refusal of right-wing economics to allow governments to invest tax revenue in building more affordable real estate and also in the vast selloffs to private corporations of government housing since the 1980s.ah second the nights, a religious occasion traditionally celebrates revelation of the holy quran to the holy prophet of islam, however with ongoing genocidal war in gaza this year, praying for the liberation of palestine has become the main theme. yusuf has your story from tehran. reciting along
