borderland only on al jazeera america > washington calls it disgraceful. the u.n. calls it criminal. condemnation of another israeli attack on a u.n. school in gaza. hello, i'm martine dennis. we are live from doha. also to come - were bad to worse. gaza's hospitals overwhelmed by patients and short of supplies. protests in liberia as the government faces calls for action to stop the spread of ebola. and... ..the syrian government tries to

crush rebel strongholds near the capital. dozens killed in the latest fighting. >> a moral outrage and a criminal act, that's how an israeli air strike has been described on a u.n. school in gaza. 10 were killed and the u.s. state department said it was a disgraceful act. nor was it the most recent in gaza. let's go to nicole johnton, in gaza city. to catch up on what is going on. bring us up to date with the situation in gaza as the war enters its 28th day and fourth week. it's been a quiet night in gaza.

reports that four have been killed from a refugee camp. we have heard that an ambulance crews and emergency teams have been trying to get people out of gaza, through the rafah crossing. they say they can't do that, but that area is coming under heavy shelling. heavy shelling is going on there as well. >> the fall out from the rester day air strike at the u.n. school in rafah was swift and strong, coming from all quarters. >> as you said it was one of the strongest condemnations from the united nations and u.n., with the state department calling it appalling, saying the presence or suspicions of a fighter in an area doesn't justify a strike that can put civilian lives at

risk. the u.n. chief ban ki-moon called it a marral outrage and a criminal acting saying that it breaches - it's a cross violation of international law. very swift condemnation there, one of the strongest so far. my colleague has more in his report. >> reporter: chaos and death caused by a drone. this shot minutes after it exploded. landed on a motorcycle. it was near a u.n. school. the shelters are meant to be safe haifens from violence, that have been targeted by israeli

fire. >> it's full of children, children killed and injured in the attack. >> this is the footage filmed moments after the drone strike. he tells me what he saw. the street was full of children buying streets at the main gait. what did they do? they are only kids. so many people are dead. so many hurt. >> most of the injured were brought here first. this is rafah's kuwaiti hospital, specialising in obset rigs and had a dozen beds. since the collapse of the ceasefire on friday, it treated hundreds of people, many in an outdoor car park. >> the hospital is maternity, not for receiving this huge

number of injured. it is very difficult. ambulance is secluded. >> reporter: rafah has seen some of the worst fighting, more than 200 killed since friday. >> the fallout from that gent is spreading far and wide pretty much. let's hear what the israelis said about that incident. here is a spokesman. >> we are were targetting terrorists moving from one lace to another. perhaps they had explosives on them. we struck the terrorists, this is the situation. we do not intentionally strike u.n. facilities, we don't do that. after what happened in rafah the israeli army is saying it will observe a temporary and

limited humanitarian pause on monday. what do we know about this temporary limited ceasefire. >> this is meant to start at 10am local time and continue for 2 hours. will it hold. we have not had a lot of success with the ceasefires, even when sponsored by the u.s. and the u.n., before we though that the last one, it was hoped it would continue for 72 hours, fell apart. it won't apply to all of the gaza strip. israel has been clear. areas where the army continues the operations, those areas will be exempt and it is an area of russia. there was heavy selling in that area. people will not get respite. in other areas of gaza, many

people will attempt to go back to see if the houses are standing to make a decision on whether they feel it's safe to go back. we know that in certain areas of the north israel came out and told people they could return home. most of the people we met have been too frightened to do so. we'll wait and see how the one-sided ceasefire goes. we have not heard a lot from hamas about it. they said it's a distraction from the massacres, and they haven't explained or detailed what they'll do on their side. whether they'll stop rocket fire or continue their attacks on israel as well. >> nicole johnton monitoring events in gaza, as mentioned, there was a strong and swift reaction to all quarters to the shelling of the u.n. school. particularly it came from the united states as well, which is rather unusual.

one senior administration official describing the incident as disgraceful. >> yet another attack on a united nations school. this time in rafah, where gazans have been told they'll be safe. the us state department stresses israel must do more to address u.n. casualties, saying. . from the united nations a spokesman for the general ban ki-moon called it a gross violation of the international law. the u.n. agency for palestinian refugees denounced the attack. >> there's no doubt in my mind that insufficient measures of precaution, control and application are taken, including by the israeli defense force when engaging in gaza. >> israel says it worked destroying tunnels in gaza is

almost complete. air strikes will continue, and israel says it will not continue with ceasefire. >> israel says the priority is to see that hamas is unable to rearm in the future. >> we don't want to see us leaving and allowing hamas to use the time to rearm thousands of rockets, more tunnels, we need an effective mechanism to have hamas and keep them from rearming. >> they are pushing israeli and palestinian lead tors work towards a solution, it's a view that the palestinian ambassador to the u.n. supports. >> if we allow for peace to take place, negotiation to take place, under the leadership of mahmoud abbas, if we empower this government. we'll be able to move gradually from the situation of

confrontation and fighting into the situation of lifting have tragedy and blockade. >> it is a tragedy that prompted protests over the world, including this one, saturday, in washington. the largest net in protest of rising casualties in palestine. >> some analysts are saying that washington could put pressure on israel to stop the campaign in gaza by threatening to cut back on military funding. we have been speaking to the boston-based analyst justin johnson. . the united states has never had difficulty issues tough talks. none of it manifests itself in changes in economic and military relationships between the united states and israel. what is would take, and what would have a huge impact is for the president to do something historic. to step up and pull back the

military founding that the united states gives to israel. >> israel has no incentive to come up with truly peace of the negotiations and solutions between itself and palestinian authority and hamas. at the end of the day the united states will fund them to the tune of billions for the iron dome, soldiers, military equipment. if the president wanted to getinvolved, he doesn't have to fly to geneva, all he has to do is zip up the purse strings for the united states, forcing israel back to the negotiation table. if the american public is less happy with much of israel's before and sympathetic to palestinians and gaza, it's ideological. the yates has relative control of iraq, afghanistan. this is not because the u.s. wants a foothold in the middle east. there's a large number of

religious conservationists, who feel the u.s. should have a relationship with israel. we are facing up against history and economic realities. people are dying and suffering, while people in the united states dither about policies no longer applicable for the world we are living in. >> as the offensive stretches into the 28th day, let's get a reminder of the human cost. 64 israelis have been killed, and three civilians. one was a that national. the number of palestinian nationals was higher. 1,815 have been killed according to gaza's health ministerry, and the u.n. stements 80% of them are civilians. 9,406 gazans have been injured, including 2,700 children. more than a quarter of a million

people are taking refuge in u.n. shelters. >> now for the first time in weeks, residents of one particular neighbour hood near the eastern border, closest to israel were told it was tafe to go back to their homes. nick schifrin reports on what they found when they went back. >> in the batley lir ear neighbourhood, usually crowded sandy streets are empty. the shops are shuttered. the only person, the only woman brave enough to walk down the main road, walking through the abandoned market is a 7-year-old. she wants to tell me about her destroyed home. israeli f-16 and air strike interrupt her. she walks me toward her house. yesterday, she and others were

told it was safe to return. she doesn't know where it's safe. as soon as we reached her home, and she tells me it was hit by an air strike, four more in the distance. all of it is burnt, she says. and out of her sort of she touches what she says is her last coin. >> translation: i swear to god i have two shackles. >> reporter: it's the equivalent to $0.75. palestinian fighters used this area to launch rockets. the neighbourhood was pummelled. the population spread. this man came back to inspect his home. he's lucky, there was no damage. we head into his daughter's room, the one with the mickey mouse stickers. for three weeks they have lived in a shelter.

they asked him to go home and bring back much-needed clothes. >> our lives are lost. i'm in a shelter. we don't know where to go. we are in a u.n. shelter. they hit here. we came her, they hit here. this is no life. >> reporter: his neighbours and cousins, across the road, came back for good, despite the booms. the middle-class family inspects for damage. this man is less worried about his home than his daughters. how are your lit the girls doing? drnchts they had to. >> translation: they had to grow up too fast. they have shellings and bombings. >> reporter: his oldest daughter wouldn't get too close to me. when you saw me in my vest are you scared of us. "yes", she said. i ask why?

>> translation: because you speak english, and the israelis speak english as well. she has sheen things that nobody, no child should ever see. this house may be intact. the damage to those inside of it will not be easy to heel. gaza's children have been traumatised by the four-week war. the u.n.'s children's agency is warning of damage. a speaker from uni self. >> unicef has been contributing kits in schools for the adults and the babies, and material for the people to fix water. it's right now a priority for the people displaced, since over a quarter of the population is displaced. we have been about to reach out to children in shock. there's about one-third of children in gaza in shock.

300,000 chipt. we have been -- children, we have been about to reach to some of them, thanks to the emergency psychosocial support team. it's difficult to bring rae leaf in gaza because it's dangerous on the ground. without a humanitarian window, it will be difficult to help efficiently the people in gaza. in the short term, what we want is a humanitarian window so that our staff can go on the ground. reach to children and families, and fix the systems since the lack of water is starting to be of concern. the children are terrified. they don't feel safe. there's no safe place anywhere in gaza. >> more to come here at al jazeera, including this - with a weary eye on china, washington has its first after african leader's summit. we hear from brazil, how they

are instructing to remedy a shortage of doctors. @

health authorities are taking too long to take away the dead, exposing family and neighbours to infection. more than 720 people have decide of the disease since spreading in march. the countries in the region agreed to a cross-border isolation zone to stem the outbreak. experts warn the virus is spiralling out of control. we have this report from the nigerian capital abuja. >> these are common sites at airports and border posts in west africa. governments in the region are scrambling to deal with the ebola epidemic spiralling out of control. this is one of the busiest airports. here, a man that died of ebola was in transit after arriving from liberia. >> we have around 700 passengers

transiting at the airport. that's why we needed to take the measures, we could be exposed to a case or patient coming from a country in which the airlines are serving. medical experts say the ebola is out of control. the situation is complicated as eating meat from wild animals is widespread. patients refuse to allow in isolation centers. here in nigeria, the fear of ebola is forcing a change in habits. >> i'm willing to forego to protect myself. not eating the bats, the monkey, but if it is well prepared. >> i'm willing to protect myself from the disease. i want to prove to myself that i can protect myself from the

people. >> there are also economic fears associated with ebola. with the first-recorded death they are worried about a dechain in scales. some are sceptical. and say it is business as usual. as the virus continues to raffage communities, families look for places to bury the dead. that can present its own complications. in this area of the liberian capital, soldiers have been employed to ensure ebola victims are buried immediately after they die. >> a leading public health institution in the united states says it's sending 50 experts to west africa to help with the fight against ebola. the atlanta based center of c.d.c. has been helping with the

treatment of a doctor. the doctor is the first person with ebola to be brought to the u.s. the c.d.c. launched a special section on its website - lots of important information about the virus and details on the counter outbreak. >> the syrian government says forces have hit several areas near the capital, killing dozens. guta and duma were among the hardest hit areas. >> reporter: a missile slams into a suburb of damascus. the full horror of the latest government campaign to crush of the syrian campaign caught on amateur video. this is the area east of the capital. according to opposition activists, this was the result

of an air strike by a fighter jet. many people were out in the street when it happened. they were trying to recover the dead and wounded from another strike minutes earlier. elsewhere in the greater damascus area, more desperation after another air strike. the man who filmed this shouts headless bodies, where is the world, where is humanity. save us. activists say 25 people died in this strike alone. and in the neighbouring area of duma, more attacks. it's rebel-held territories, and government forces have been concentrating their fire power on this neighbourhood for more than a year. syria's conflict is estimated to kill more than 170,000 people,

displacing half the population. the president has made significant gains this year, as opposition forces fight among themselves. the ferocity the latest attacks demonstrate how he's trying to step up the fight. in iraq the islamic state has inflicted a major defeat on kurdish forces in its campaign to topple the shia led government. the fighters ceased the mosul dam after an offensive lasting 24 hours. they have taken control of their oil field, adding to the four they hold. they have taken control of zooum and sin jar, both under the control of kurdish troops until

they fell. these are the pictures from zuma, where the group raised the black flag, a ritual followedy mass executions. the capture is a humanitarian tragedy, after 200,000 were forced to leave. the capture of the dam could give them the ability to flood cities or withhold water. >> rival factions in libya are fighting for control of the airport in tripoli. more than 20 have been killed in the latest clashes between the misrata group. smoke is rising from eight gas tanks next to the airport. 24 hours after being hit by rocket fire. more to come on this hour. >> i'm in donetsk. i'll be telling you the stories of the most vulnerable victims of the conflict as the fighting gets closer to the city.
