with the reuters news agency. the town has been i would off by the military since the breakdown of the latest ceasefire, we drove south from gaza city in convoy with other journalists there is almost no one else on the road. behind me it's four-kilometer to his the town of rafah where we have seen this intense israeli him terry bombardment. we have been speaking to both ambulance men and locals that managed to get out and they are telling us it's literally two dangerous to go there at the moment. this is one of two ambulances at the hospital that was attacked as it tried to reach wounded people inside rafah. >> translator: it's impossible to coordinate with the israeli military toy get our ambulances in. it is very dangerous. >> reporter: abdullah says a colleague was trying to coordinate with the israeli military in rafah when his ambulance was hit. >> translator: in rafah there is no security for anyone to move. there are no taxis, no civilian

cars, none to the streets, the ambulance had dropped people off at the hospital that's when the strike happened. the vehicle took a direct hit. >> reporter: these medics say they will keep trying to get this to rafah to help the injured. innocent children, who have no role in what israel describes as hamas' terror campaign. charles stratford, al jazerra. we have correspond ends across gaza. we are getting some disturbing reports in from rafah in obvious lit south of gas that u.n. school has been hit there. we are hearing of seven people killed and more than 30 people injured. yet another u.n. school hit in an israeli targeted strike. there has been a lull in the fighting and since then we have been seeing this strike, we have been seeing lots of artillery

fire. tell us what you are doing where you are. >> reporter: well, i am. [ inaudible ] and when we spoke last i was with a family whose home was destroyed in an air strike, they had just come back because they were told the area was safe. we were moving to another area which just overnight a number of houses were destroyed in an air strike after people here learned that the israeli military told them to come back because it was safe. as we were on our way to that neighborhood which was struck, we were told that the mosque beside these houses that was destroyed overnight, that it received i've warning that it was being targeted by an israeli air strike imminently. so we have had to move back from that mosque for fears that it would be targeted at any moment. and it really just under scores just the general sense of unease

for people right across the gaza strip. the people in an area which is close to a large agricultural area here a gaza, an ago are you cal trail area that borders the israeli border and where we have soon a huge grounds presence of israeli forces. again, people told by the israeli military that they could come home, that it was safe and clearly it's not. >> just give us an idea of how people are trying to keep are cope in these areas that have been struck. >> reporter: frustration would be a gross under statement. we met with a family. as you saw about an hour ago they were sheltering under a tree from the sun. as we spoke with the family they tell us about the sheer knowledge that they aren't safe. no 3459er what they are told, whether they are told that they can go back it their areas, sheltering in u.n. schools which

is where they were before they decided to come back. no where is safe. nowhere they go seems to be an area where they are not going to lose somebody or indeed. [ inaudible ] in that family which had suffered over the years in the last five years, in which israel has carried out three operations in gaza this he say nine family members have died and now their house is totally in rubble. people are at a loss of what to do. do they go to their homes or stay in the shelters which we have seen time and again neither are safe. >> absolutely. thanks very much for bringing us a picture there from gas actual let's join our diplomatic he had or james bays who is live for us now in west jerusalem. james, what more do you know about the latest attack on a u.n. school in rafah? >> reporter: well, this will be

the third time that there have been a large loss of life from a u.n. school if the initial reports are to be believed. this took place as you say in rafah from the initial reports that we are getting. the palestinian health ministry say they believe there are seven people dead. we have spoken here in jerusalem and i am told senior officials right now are on the phone to gaza trying to confirm the details before release anything to the press. we have also spoken to the israeli military in the last few minutes who say they are aware of the reports and they are checking from their sources what may have happened. >> reporter: so i am afraid very early days and not much information. but from those initial reports from the pal skip vinnie health ministry, seven people it looks like may have been killed in yet another one of those u.n. schools a place where people have been forced out of their home were taking refuge, a place that is supposed to be a safe haven and once again it looks like has not been proved to be safe. >> now, this intensification of the military's operation in

rafah was in response from 24 hours ago or 48 hours ago even now, to israel saying one of its joels had gone missing down there. we are now hearing from israel that they have confirmed this soldier to be dead. and this was something that hamas was suggesting all of yesterday. >> reporter: absolutely the confirmation coming a number of hours ago that hadar goldin is now officially listed as dead rather than captured. they had been, we were told carrying out searches in the area. i have to say our colleagues who were reporting from gaza, our team this is said it looked more like the intensification of the bombing of that area rather than a lot of searching going on. but clearly it is an area where the israeli military had control certainly in recent hours, so difficult for teams to actually get there, reporting teams to

independently verify what was going on. in the israeli press some suggestions that second lieutenant goldin may have been killed by the israeli mail miliy by their mom barred. >> also, james, let's look at the diplomatic front that is happening today in cairo, we have a palestinian delegation heading to egypt. already arrived in egypt watch. do we know about what actually is going to be going on there? because the i israelis certainly don't seem to be make their way over. >> reporter: let's remind everyone of the original plan. the original plan was for a pause in the fighting, which of course ended with the israeli bombardment and also the claims of the capture of the soldier who is now reported dead. and then after that talks in cairo to take place with people discussing the underlying issues to try to solve the you remembered lying issues. that was always the plan of the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon and the u.s. secretary of state john kerry. it seems that the palestinians are sticking to the plan.

and a palestinian delegation which we believe includes members of hamas and islamic jihad as well as members of the palestinian authority is in cairo. the egyptians say the talks are on and they are the best way to come to a long-lasting shraupbgs, bulasting solution.ba different plan they are continuing with the military track. they rewe deplowing some of their forces out of gaza, suggesting that they are planning to bring this to an end in some point soon in a manner of their choose, i am not at all sure that israel is going to negotiate with the other side to try to solve the problems that both sides say need to be solved and certainly the international community says it needs to have talks between both sides, including a palestinian gel delegation with hamas in it to try to deal with the problems so that this doesn't all erupt again in a another two years or 18 months.

>> james bays live in west jerusalem, thanks very much, james. these are live pictures that you can see of gaza city. the skyline smoking there. we have had a number of artillery shells and seen a number of explosions there in that densely-populated area over the past hour. also getting news of yet another strike on a u.n. school. where people have been sheltering, the latest one today, sunday in s* in rafah where there has been an intense israeli military operation over the past two days, more than 150 people is the latest death toll that we have had there just now hearing more, seven dead over 30 injured in this particular school attack. the health ministry giving us those figures, the israeli military checking those reports, we'll bring you more develops on that as we get it.

now fierce fighting has turned libya's two biggest cities in to battle grounds near the capital tripoli. oil depots burned by shells fired by rival militias. the remember gate general has been dealt a blow after militia fighters overran several army base asks took control of the city. thousands of people continues to flee libya to tunisia. britain has sent a ship to evacuate its citizens. we have more from tunisia. >> reporter: they all look the same. exhausted, but relieved as they leave libya and cross this to tunisia. this 19-year-old moroccoan says it's not safe anymore in tripoli. >> translator: the missiles landed next to our house. >> reporter: so he packed his bags and left. >> translator: it's not secure in tripoli. it's chaos.

no fuel. no oil, no electricity. nothing. >> reporter: thousands chose to flee with their families as rival libyan m militias thought each other on the streets of the cities. for some of these people it cook days to be able to cross as desperate families tried to use the border crossing. >> translator: the situation is dangerous, you can hear heavy gunshots. we scared for our lives so we fled to tunisia. >> reporter: after close its board fore a day the tunisian government rereopenned it on saturday but only partially and only for those who have proved they are passing through tunisia and not planning to stay. government officials say tunisia can't become a shelter for ref gentlemens just a transit for people to leave. that meant thousands of

egyptians were stranded. on saturday a plan was agreed with the egyptian government to start process y evacuations, a couple of thousands a day will be allowed in to go straight to the airport like these egyptians who were lucky enough to ab able to get through. but it will take days. hundreds of thousands of arab foreign nations make a living in tunisia. only a fraction has left so far but as the violence escalates they are ex-pegged today evacuate and tunisia has a concern on how such an exodus will effect their economy and security. especially cincy i didn't want has already closed its borders and for many this border crossing is the only route out. al jazerra. tunisia. plenty i more still to come on the program including water issues on top of the agenda at the indian prime minister visit napal.

hello again, reminder of the top stories here on al jazerra. palestinian health ministry is reporting that seven people have been killed, more than 30 injured in an israeli attack on a u.n. school in rafah. there has also been more israeli shelling on gaza city in the past hour. palestinian death toll is now at 1,752 people. and the israeli soldier who had been missing in gaza has been confirmed dead. the number of israeli troops now

killed is at 64. well, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the offensive will continues until all of its goals have most he has spoken out against qatar accusing the gulf emirates of bank rolling hamas and sheltering its political leader. meanwhile the amir of qatar has spoken to the u.n. secretary general in strong terms about the gaza conflict in a phone call he said he was astonished that the u.n. had immediately blamed hamas for violating a ceasefire on friday. and he expressed his regret and oaastonishment over the u.n.'s sigh vince over the killing of palestinians civilian asks destroying their homes. for more now, we are joinedded by the middle east analyst from london. thanks very much for being with us, let's first of all talk about this u.n. school that's been hit in rafah. this is not the first time that

a u.n. building being used as a shelter for palestinian civilians has been the target of an israeli strike. >> no, absolutely not. not just in this conflict but in previous conflicts in gaza, even in lebanon. u.n. shelters, u.n. schools seem to be a target ask israel usually initially denies it and end up having to admit culpability and blaming hamas for a variety of reasons, but ultimately israel has a habit of targeting these u.n. shelters and u.n. schools and it's simply unacceptable. >> why do you think it has a habit of targeting a place where civilians are very clearly taking shelter? >> the only reason i can think of is every conflict they wage the civilians represent such a vast majority of casualties, that i think their strategy must

be to try to turn the civilian population against hamas or in lebanon against hess bowl actually think that is a strategy, to wage such a heavy price on the civilian population that they think it will turn against the domestic factions involved. but this is -- these are war crimes. it's unacceptable. it's collective punish. but unfortunately the international community doesn't bear anywhere near pressure israel to stop these, so that's why they continue. >> on the international front we have palestinian delegations in cairo, the u.s. also cease to be heading there as well. where is israel in all of this? >> it's nowhere to be soon, israel has made it clear that they will act on their own time frame. netanyahu has said the conflict will continues until he sees fit, until his goals are reached. israel has proven from the

beginning it's not interested in a real ceasefire. certainly anything that would certainly anything dealing with the core sir issues involving a lasting ceasefire israel is not interested. this could have provided opportunities until now they have been acting independently. until now israel has said it's not interested. one of the main supposed mediators in this is the u.s. who is actually resupplying the u.s. with arms the u.s. is telling israel you can carry on as long as you want and do whatever you want until you are ready. israel doesn't feel the need, doesn't feel enough international pressure to come to the table. so it feels that it can carry on as long as it wants. >> yet we saw largests from the u.s. secretary of state john kerry as well as the u.n. to get that 72-hour humanitarian truce in place. it was accepted on both sides.

it was a lot of back championing work that went onto get that in to place. i wonder why it collapsed almost before if began. >> well, there seems to be more efforts involved in arranging these very short-term truces but not enough real on a long-term solution. and i think without dealing with these core issues, any short-term ceasefire is doomed to collapse think but this is not just hamas here, palestinians as a people have said enough is enough. we cannot continues to live under siege, under occupation. so unless there is a willingness to deal with the blockade of gaza on a wider level, the occupation of the palestinians, they are not willing to live quietly in an open-air prison as they have been in gaza for all of these years, unfortunate lit international community is so keen on having these short-term ceasefires i don't think they are willing to put sufficient pressure israel to deal with these underlying causes which

will insure that a ceasefire is going it last. >> thank you very much for joining us there from london. now three al jazerra journalists have spent now 218 days in an egyptian prison. in june mohammed fahmy and peter greste were given seven year sentences. mmohamed an extra three years because he had a spent bullet in his possession which he picked up at a protest. they plan to appeal against their possessions. they havmohamed says he has nota final stands because he doesn't have any faith in the judicial system. ray new set of legislators about to takeoffs. this parliament is entirely made up the representatives chose bean it's coup leaders. wayne hey has more from bangkok. >> reporter: pie ty land political landmarks have largely sat empty since the coup two

months ago, providing an opportunity for a cleanup. those that used to work in government or opposition are now watching from the sidelines. >> i am unemployed. i am jobless, actually. >> reporter: parliament, though, is about to return to life. but not like it used to be. the army has taken the first steps to forming a government but the they have not been democratically elected. they have been handpicked by the army and more than half of them are current or retired members of the armed forces. the man expected to be interim prime minute officer is the man that led the coup. beneath him in the assembly there will be no representatives from political parties. >> people believe that most problems are politically related. so to solve our problems which will only take a year or so, we want to be as neutral as possible and to be neutral. we don't want any political

ties. >> reporter: this is all part of what the military says is a road map to democracy. culminating in an election possibly towards the end of next year. thosbut there is concern about t the end property will look like. >> what we are afraid it s* whether or not the democracy which is going to be returned to people will will really be democracy. >> reporter: at the moment there is no physical sign of any resistence to the coup. groups that 1230r9ed th supportd government wouldn't appear on camera. even one for a murdered activist was closely watched by police and military. under martial law, thailand is peaceful again, some worry if the army tries to hang to power, things could change from now on think there will be challenges

socially and economically for them and the tide could turn. >> reporter: for now the office the prime minister sits vacant waiting for its next occupants who is likely to have an army general. wayne hey, al jazerra, bangkok. more rainfall in northern napal is hamme hampering a searr more than 100 villagers missing after a landslide on saturday. eight bodies have so far been recovered. mud and rock damning the river raising fierce of a flash flood. for the first time victims of the conflict in kolo bee a are about to meet those that carried out the crimes against them. a report from bogota it's expected to be the most difficult part of the peace process yet. >> reporter: 14 years ago this soldier was nearly killed about

aan ambush by rebels, losing boh legs but his spirit is not killed think he married, had children and, doesn't want revenge against his attackers. >> as a victim i would ask far to stop recruiting children, they take them when they are seven or eight years old and give them a gun. i would change the gun for a bowl of food. >> reporter: war victims like him will soon be facing rebellings in havana cuba where peace negotiations have been ongoing since 2012. 15 delegates will represent 4,000 victims organizations from around colombia. but they say it's i want possible to bring to the table the demands of millions of victims of murders, kids nappings and sexual violence. >> translator: what we want to know is the truth of what happened to us. we can't bring them to tribunals, the state shut punish them through a transitional justice process. >> reporter: the reparations process is not only about paying those who directly suffered or

giving them land back, the government sends victims a letter asking for forgiveness and guarantees protection. this process maybin fit more than 5 million victims, it's generated such interest that the center for victims gets an average of 20,000 calls a day for people that say they deserve reparations. these negotiations are the closest they have come to peace after 50 years of war. but the challenges ahead are difficult. >> translator: will the recommends be punished with jail in will they tell all the truth? where are the disappeared? the victims need an integrated solution to feel that they are not making more sacrifices. if they believe the rebels genuinely feel repennant, would the victims be willing to not demand harsh jail terms for them? we'll have to see.

>> reporter: columbians saying this rounds of talks will be the hardest. the rebels wants their 50 years of grievances to be acknowledged. jorge says he survived the atrocity and the issue you for him and many c columbians is finding the strengths to forgive.
