him in the hand. we have frozen this video as the next images are disturbing. but as he lies in the rubble he's shot again twice more. israel hasn't commented on the video. elsewhere a hospital was hit, the third in this conflict. multiple shells struck a hospital in the city. its administration section was destroyed and there is now no supply of oxygen for the patients. >> they bomb in our hospital now. the operative unit and we cannot do anything here for our patients and for our injured peoples. >> reporter: israel released this statement about it. >> initial investigation suggests that a cash of anti--tank missiles was stored in the immediate vicinity of the hospital. the cash was successfully targeted by i.d. f forces. >> reporter: gaza's eastern border is still being relentlessly she would and palestinian groups fired more than 100 rockets and mortars towards israel.

>> translator: the demands of our people are very clear, we want the hostility to his stop and guarantees that it won't be repeated. and we want to listing of embargo the palestinians have suffered for eight years and the world has turned its back to gaza and the people of gaza. >> reporter: this conflict has forced at least 100,000 people to leave their homes. that is about one out of every 20 people in gas actual the shelter shed up the united nations are full of children and all of them have now learned the meaning of war. >> translator: we kept screaming. people were dieing. our homes were attacked. my uncle's house was hit. we kept screaming and crying. >> translator: at my home we left everything, all my stuff, my clothes, my toys, i would love to go back home. >> reporter: the is are israeli army has expensed its attack, we

have seen houses in the central gaza city hit by tank shelling. no one feels safe anywhere. the tanks are about three-kilometers from here on east road. the question is, though, how much further will the israeli army advance for nba to gas actual nicole johnston, al jazerra, gaza. and some breaking news right now just in from gas actual the it's rays israeli army has conft it fired warning shots at al jazerra's office in gaza. this is the building where our correspondence have been doing lives from the last few days, they fired warning shots at our office and our correspondence and team on the ground had to evacuate that building. stephanie dekker joins us live on the line from gas actual stephanie, tell us about these warning shots that were fired at the building where you were. >> reporter: that's right, it happened about half an hour ago. we were sitting in the office and we have two live points from the office which has an open window and at one point through

from the sky threw the life position and in to the office which is where the kitchen is, we had a big explosion. so we were all startled and, trying to figure out what it was. maybe someone thought it was an electricity explosion or something like that. and then straight after another shot came in. so it was very clear, two very precise shots fired straight in to our building, so, of course, everyone evacuated, also it's also a residential building. we are now hearing that israel has confirmed that they hit two warning shots in to our office. i am not clear what the reason for that should be. certainly it was something that caused a lot of panic, especially amongst the civilians that live in that building. i would love to know the reason that they are giving. >> they are not giving us any reasons as yet, stephanie. do tell us where exactly in gaza this building is located. >> reporter: it's in central gaza city. it's on a building.

we are on the 11th floor it, houses also other media offices, opposite to our floor on the 11th floor and many residential apartments. so this is an area we did see yesterday tank fire probably about a kilometer away hitting areas closer to gaza city. so there was a feeling also perhaps people were speculating in the office that perhaps the army wanted us to move out of our position because we have this vantage points to see what is going on on the ground. again, this is speculation, we have no reason as to why we they would have fired in to our offers but that was one of the ideas because we are so high we have a very strong vantage point over the area that perhaps they wanted us to move out and not be able to see what happens happening. >> we are just getting confirmation now, stephanie, the israeli military saying one of its soldiers is missing in gaza. of course yesterday about 24 hours ago, or so the brigade said they had captured an israeli soldier in gaza. initially the israelis had

denied this but now they are confirming one of their soldiers is missing in this gaza offensive. stephanie what more with you tell us about that. >> reporter: i can tell you that's incredibly concerning to the israelis and it will be seen here for hamas as a major victory. we know that the factions here put the highest pride on capturincapturing an is really . when the news came out that the brigade had announced it. people were celebrating on the streets because people feel that they have endured all this suffering and feel that it's almost like a victory for them. however, i have to say on the day that the brigade announced it, we were outside the hospital and about 10 hours before the official announcement came it was announced over the mosque at the time, we couldn't confirm it, but that had been the rumor had been going around that this was something that had happened. so now official confirmation from the israeli army, this is something that we will be extremely concerned about.

a captured soldier, i didn't hear if he's a -- he's alive i am assuming. >> right now they are just saying that they ever a soldier missing in gaza, that's all they are confirming anyway for the moment this. could be a big game changer, stephanie. >> reporter: absolutely. and it gives hamas extraordinary negotiating powers. because, of course, israel does not want any harm to come to its soldiers, we saw in the previous issue, one was held captive for five years and israel was not able to find him. how that ended was a prisoner swap where over 1,000 prisoners were released for that one israeli soldier. certainly the fab factions here know this gives them incredibley powerful negotiating point. how this will play out i don't know. but certainly it's seen here from the factions here as a huge victory and certainly gives them even more ammunition to put those demands on the table as to what they want.

this is something as i have said before that they have always said is their prime target to be able to capture an an israeli soldier. israeli soldiers of course with the ground incursion makes it easier for the factions to be able to do that. >> and stephanie, just update us on the situation in gaza over the last few hours and the bombing campaign which continued overnight, of course. >> reporter: that is right. it was another intensive night of shelling especially along the eastern border. there were air strikes in the south. also in gaza city. it is -- it is a night that is unfortunately looking like every other night. extremely loud. there was an incident concerning a doctor, an engineer a dual national and german citizen he vac waited his home and the building that he was in hit and eight members of his family killed. there are many stories

coming out that people evacuating from areas where they are told to leave for their own safety. get hit and add to this panic that nowhere is safe. people are extremely pedestrian identified. the air strikes have been ongoing. we can hear the artillery shelling in the distance of it's somewhat quieter now, i have to say, but this does go in lulls. >> okay, stefanie, thank you very much indeed, stephanie dekker on the line from gaza. stefanie, a long with the rest of the team in our office in gaza had to evacuate the building where they are in gaza city just a few moments ago. because the israeli army fired warning shots at the building where a team has been reporting from in gaza, firing warning shots, a confirmation has been made by the israeli military saying they fired warning shots at our building. also in the last few minutes we have learned and confirmation coming from israel once again, that one of its soldiers in gaza

is missing. one of its soldiers is missing in this gaza offensive. a few days ago, of course, the brigade, hamas' armed wing had said that they had captured an israeli soldier in gaza. information that was initially denied by the israelis but now they are confirming that one of their soldiers is missing in gaza. meanwhile, the diplomacy continues. the u.n. secretary general is one of the many diplomats in the region trying to poker a ceasefire. but ban ki-moon says any truce needs to including the lives of palestinians living in gaza. >> reporter: the u.s. secon secy of state landed in cairo promising $47 million in emergency aid for people in gaza. john carey also came to talk to the u.n. chief and other diplomats about ways to build on the earlier plan to end the fighting. the number of children, women and men killed in gaza is now in the hundreds and rising.

mostly israeli soldiers, two, have been killed during the ground war and the obama administration alarmed. >> i have asked john to do everything that he can to facilitate the cesc sanction of hostilities, we don't want anymore civilians getting kid. >> reporter: palestinian president mahmoud huh bass traveled to meet the political leader of hamas. uh-huhs has already rejected the egyptian plan though the two men said they would be talking to cairo as well as other regional and international negotiators. the last time cairo brokered a she's fire in 2012. the rockets and missiles may have stopped for a while. but life didn't get any better on for the people in gaza. the u.n. secretary general said this time more than a ceasefire it required. >> gaza is an open wound and band-aid won't help.

there must be a plan after the aftermath that allows gas to breathe and hear. recovery and reconstruction is more needed than ever. >> reporter: although u.s. officials aren't saying what ideas are being considered as part of a modified ceasefire proposal, they say time is of the essence and some are hoping for an end to the bloodshed by the end of the month. joanna, blu al jazerra. in other world news, militia airline officials have received the flight data records from flight mh17 that was shot down over eastern ukraine last thursday, the boxers were handed over bicep test fighters who controlled the area when the plane went down. a malaysian investigator said the recorders were in good condition. all 298 people aboard the plane were killed on the crash. their bodies have now been recovered from within the 140 jerry kilometer crash site. the remains of the victims have

been placed inside a refrigerated train and being taken to the eastern ukrainian steve of kharkiv. let's go live to kharkiv where the bodies of victims are being brought, of course a lot of concern about the way the bodies were being treated. at the crash site. tell us about the latest you are hearing on the trans take of these bodies to kharkiv. >> reporter: yeah, they are still on a train in do donetsk. we believe. there is conflicts about whether the train has actually left. kharkiv where they will ultimately end up. it will take about 12 hours, we believe, once it sets out from donetsk and makes its way up here. it's a very obviously very delicate cargo and also it's being pulled by a diesel locomotive so it won't be a very quick trip for it. so that means that most likely it will arrive in the late evening here in donetsk and then there is also this processing

with these bodies before they can then be put onto hurricane his c130 aircraft bound for the netherlands. we are hear from dutch source that his takes at least 30 minutes for each body. they are making their way home slowly but many steps before they can be flown back to the netherlands, flying to the netherlands and then identified and go to the different countries of all the people on board. >> the flight data recorders have been handed over now. who is going to handle that part of investigation? >> reporter: they were handed over to malaysian authorities at 1:00 a.m. local time. now, this is a good example of just how difficult the process has been for this crash team. because of the delicate situation, you've got separatist controlling the area. you've got these bodies being brought it in from an area controlled bicep tests. coming to an area controlled by the central ukrainian government. so the black boxes i in,ly we

heard were going to be handed over at 9:00 p.m. last night. that didn't happen until 1:00 a.m. they were handed over to malaysian authorities. and what we are hearing is the malaysian authorities are also going to take those flight data recorders and give them to the international investigation team. that is now being headed up by the dutch. so it will be this group, you have many different layers to it. you also have malaysian authorities investigators on the scene of the crash site and, again, this is -- they have said there is a truce around that area but it's still in an area that is still where there is fighting going on. it's very, very difficult to really go through this process that is difficult in the best of times. because there are so many pieces of information, there is so much of that wreckage that is as you said spread out that needs to be combed through to find out exactly how, when, and who was responsible for the downing of this aircraft. >> okay, scott, thank you very much for that update. that's scott heidler in kharkiv for us. and as scott mentioned, there has been more violence in eastern ukraine.
