funeral of freddie gray, who died from injuries sustained while in police custody. >> nepal's earthquake-ravaged capital is running short of supplies. 4,000 are known to have died, and hotels are struggling to keep up with the survivors. and many who have nowhere else to go will seek shelter from hospitals. with many roads blocked vital supplies can take some time to reach those who need them most. andrew simmons begins our coverage in the outskirts of kathmandu. >> this was a family home. but like so many others it is a place of loss.

there were a number of family members rescued from this location. many hours ago. and they said that there was still relatives beneath the rubble. now at this time there was an officer earlier on shouting hello and banging bricks with his bear fists but sadly there have been no sounds whatsoever. just a place of dust, a place of the smell of the scent of people passing away. there is here bear hands involves. street after street there are situations like this going on. but this is really now more of a recovery operation than it is one of a can you. rescue. people like possible optimistic, but people we've spoken to so far in the past eight hours has been mournful rather than

hopeful. and there is also a contrasting mood of anger in many parts of the city. particularly around the local authority building where people are demanding tents where they can settle because their homes are either so damaged that they can't basically have anything to live with, or that they are concerned that there could be further quakes with buildings coming down. there is danger everywhere in this area, and continually warned to be careful where we stepped, where we walk. the whole district is aged. it was rebuilt after the 1934 quake, in which 8,500 people died and now look at it, it is devastated and it has to be said that each day that goes by does not get any easier. it gets worse. >> well, our correspond

correspondents in another area. >> in this area there is a cluster of houses that came down. around 60 people were buried over here. they were all cremated yesterday. now the desire village is not only in shock but they're quite angry because of the lack of services from the government. this gentleman over here-- >> can you tell us what kind of help you've received from the government? >> so far we've not received anything from the government. we had the armed police come and threw three tarps and that's it. no one is in the village. not even dogs are in the village. >> earlier we found some government vehicles trying to pass. locals are so angry that they were not allowing any government vehicles to pass through. >> i brought some relief, but i will give you three packets for

here. >> they just found out that the relief material over here is not actually for this village. the locals are refusing to allow anyone to pass through. they want the relief materials for this area. everyone is saying that they're hungry tired thirsty and they wanted their relief now and they're also expressing concern about how--if this village which is just a few kilometers outside of the city is suffering like this, the fate of many other mountainous areas is unknown. al jazeera kathmandu. >> well, let's go live to kathmandu and speak with fez who joins us there. we know that a lot of aid is arriveing to nepal and a lot of countries have said they will assist the u.n. of course, what is the problem getting the aid getting the assistance out to the praises to people who need

it? >> we've actually--the digest hurd is the kathmandu airport itself. there is only one landing strip. only one runway. it can only acome accommodate one certain type of aircraft, and they have to pick and choose who can come in and what is needed the most. that is what is delaying a lot of relief from coming into the country. a dutch search and rescue team has arrived on the scene. there are two dozen members here. they have taken themselves because of the airport time to get here so they're not wasting any more time. they've arrived waiting for first light to start rescue efforts. the first 72 hours are the most crucial because they're the most likely time to find survivors but that window is quickly closing. >> faiz, do you get the impression that things are well coordinated? all the planes arriving at the airport, which is small anyway,

is there a priority, i don't know maybe medicine, search and rescue over other things right now? what do you get the sense that the coordination isn't quite there? >> the coordination definitely is not there. when our team landed we could see that there were hundreds ever people landing mostly journalists and relief agencies. people were waiting for baggage. there was no coordination. no one to help coordinate anything. and then there were thousands of people trying to get out. tourists migrant workers. there were few officials there. there were not enough baggage handlers people waiting two hours sometimes just to get relief supplies to bring them here. people we've talked to today throughout the daytime they've been complaining they've had barely anything to eat or drink. they've onlien helped by locals basically the kindness of strangers. from the government they've gotten very little help or nothing at all. >> the latest there from kathmandu, faiz, thank you.

>> u.n. chief ban ki-moon has deplored the deaths of 44 palestinians who were killed whale sheltering in locations during the war in gaza. we have diplomatic editor james bays with me now. remind us what this entails and what more is in this report? >> well, remember last summer and that war in gaza in the devastating death toll in gaza. monk the controversial incidents were the incidents when u.n. schools were targeted. and people died in those u.n. schools. they will be used as emergency shelters for civilians. well ban ki-moon decided to set

up a board of inquiry to investigate eight months on that board of inquiry has reported. now the y. quite interestingly has not released the full report. instead it has released a summary, and i suspect there will be some criticism about the fact that there is a summary rather than the full report. this reveals the summary that there were seven schools where civilians were sheltering were hit. it says that all of those skills which were being used as designated emergency shelters, the information given to the israelis about the coordination of those schools, they were all targeted the report confirms, by the israelis. separately the report says that there were three schools separate schools where they found weaponry from hamas but it's worth noting noting that those schools were all empty and they were not being used as emergency shelters. certainly the letter from ban ki-moon accompanying this report

makes quite a lot of mention of those hamas weapons being found as well as israel being responsible for targeting these schools where civilians were sheltering. i can tell you a lot of work went into that letter, a lot of rewriting, and we understand that there were certainly representations from israeli diplomats to the secretary before the summary of the report was released. >> james what impression do you get about the fact that their schools, which were, as they said openly sheltering people seeking shelter and security, were those schools targeted? >> well, these were supposed to be places of shelter places where people had to flee their homes because their homes had been destroyed or they felt that they were in grave danger had taken shelter. so the u.s. report makes clear is most unhappy that israel targeted these locations. what i think is also interesting

about this is that now as this board of inquiry reports a very detailed u.n. report that's been produced and remember something has happened since the end of that gaza war that's the fact that palestine has become a member of the international criminal court. there is jurisdiction of that court over palestine. so it will be interesting now whether the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court, who has already launched preliminary examination in palestine actually asks for a copy of this board of inquiry report. because there will be a lot of detail in there that she may find interesting as she decides if she'll launch a formal inquiry into the launch of the gaza war. >> thank you. at least 45 people mostly women and children have died in pakistan after heavy rain and strong winds ripped through the northwestern city of peshawar.

the pakistan army has now joined the rescue efforts. the wind has uprooted trees and flattened buildings and more rain is forecast. kamal hyder has this update. >> when the storm hit most people were forced to seek protection inside their homes. now, i'm at the home of sha poh l. who was here with his children, his brother and his brother's children. they didn't stand a chance. he was pulled out by the local villagers but four of his children, two of his brother's children, were not so lucky. his wife also died in the roof

collapse. now most of the people who have suffered are ordinary poor people who live on the outskirts of peshawar or the old part of the city. their roofs are not strong enough to take such a heavy down fall coupled with a strong wind. importantly the government now has to restore the power supplies pay compensation to families who have lost everything and start rebuilding these places. the crops are also destroyed. this is the harvest season. which means that most of the people who were preparing to harvest, something they'll need to get by another long year. but it appears that the catastrophe has once again caught the people by surprise. >> well, still to come on the program, a show of solidarity. the u.n. chief joins europe's top diplomat and italy's prime minister to see first-hand efforts to rescue migrants in

the mediterranean. also coming up, syria's government fighting back against rebel gangs with chlorine gas.

>> time now for a reminder of the top stories on al jazeera. the death toll from saturday's 7.8 magnitude quake in nepal has risen to more than 4,000. aid has been slow because of blocked roads. an inquiry found that seven

schools in gaza were fired on in the 2014 gaza war. ban ki-moon described the killings as deplorable. a powerful storm swept through northwest pakistan on sunday. >> rescue workers in syria say there has been another chlorine attack in two cities in the west. meanwhile opposition fighters say they've gained control over a strategic syrian army camp. >> gasping for air civilians are treated inside field hospitals after another suspected chlorine attack. witnesses say that helicopters dropped chlorine over idleb in the country side of hama on sunday. it comes after rebel groups gained mortar tore in a strategic town in the vicinity. the u.n. security council has blamed the syrian army for repeated chlorine attacks during more than four years of civil

war. the security council has threatened action for the violation of international law but even though none of the rebel groups has access to helicopters, it has no way to confirm that the syrian army is responsible. despite the attack in idleb opposition fighters say that they had a major victory. using suicide car bombs and raiding a gas station rebel forces say they squeezed control of a vital syrian army camp. fighters say that the troops fled before they could burn their cache of weapons and ammunition. by diseasing the army camp the rebels hope that it will allow them to cut off a major supply line to government troops in the area. al jazeera. >> mourners have gathered for the funeral of a black man in the u.s. whose death in police

custody triggers protest. he decide after suffering severe spinal injuries. we're in baltimore live, a very somber day for the friends and family of freddie gray, but also the thousands of people who have gathered there today. >> yes some 2,000 are gathered behind me at the baptist church, including several officials from the obama administration, local and state applications. as well as obviously freddie gray's family. factin fact, we've just been joined by freddie gray's aunt, denise hill. what are your thoughts as freddie is laid to rest today. >> my thoughts, my heart goes out to the family and all and i just want to express how these officers are taking these young people's lives. nothing is being done about it. every time you turn and someone

is getting killed, and nothing is being done. you got the officers, they took my nephew. theynephew's life, they're home being paid. they're on vacation. the. >> police says the investigation is underway. do you have trust and faith in that that justice will be done? >> i don't know. i don't know. i don't know, i just have to wait and see. but what i have seen so far i don't think so. >> how do we stop other young men from being killed? what would you say needs to be done? >> more activities. more churches,.

many could have gone to choices. protesting the city is not going to bring my nephew back. they could have done a numeral other things than what they did. >> what about freddie's neighborhood, the unemployment, the poverty how does this interact with how the police interact with young men like freddie. >> they think everybody is like freddie. freddie may not have been, what he took, they the officer may have mistaken that freddie was that he was selling drugs. he may not have been selling drugs. it may have been a mistake. >> that is an interesting point actually. the constitutional rights are

suspended in neighborhoods like the one where freddie was arrested by the police. it's not that there is probable cause under u.s. law just running from a police officer but there is in that neighborhood where freddie was arrested and eventually died. it's one of those issues that we've been looking at over the last week. freddie gray will be taken to a nearby cemetery to be buried. >> the latest from baltimore. thank you. >> the u.s. secretary general has join italy's prime minister and the e.u. foreign policy chief in italy on a tour of europe's response to the mediterranean migrant crisis. the three leaders will board a navy ship that will another 73 my my73 migrants were rescued and brought to italy's port.

many who die trying to cross the mediterranean are from africa, from somalia. young people interest believe their future lies abroad. >> this is not good dimes times for this family. their 18-year-old son has been kidnapped, and they cannot raise the $5,000 ransom. >> sometimes i feel like i lost my sanity. you can imagine what you feel if your son has been kidnapped and threatened with death unless you pay up. and still i have no guarantee that my child will survive the journey. >> this man returned from libya a my months ago. he said that the smugglers threatened him. >> i don't call them smugglers.

i call them butchers. they don't care about the lives of the migrants. rather they extort their families. they won't think twice about killing people. i was only released after my mother sold our plot to raise the ransom that they were asking for. >> many of its youth are desperate to migrate. with youth unemployment as high as 80% it's no surprise that many want to reach libya with hopes of reaching italy by boat. like many migrants, mohammed is willing to take the risks. he has been trying to migrate since 2007. he was forced to return to ethiopia many times. he said he'll try to leave again. >> life here is what is not great. it's quite demeaning when you can't get one decent meal a day. i have no hope of getting work. i will just sit and wait.

>> the government is committing to more youth employment that will help to keep youth in its homeland. >> fighting has intensified in yemen around the southern city of taiz. houthi rebels are fighting forces loyal to the exiled president abd rabbuh mansur hadi. >> this was once a quiet residential area of taiz, but the city has become a battleground. houthi rebels backed by abd rabbuh mansur hadi are fighting forces loyal to the current president abd rabbuh mansur hadi who has fled to saudi arabia. civilians are caught in the middle. reports suggest tanks are being used by houthi fighters in central taiz, and that they fire at a public hospital.

streets are mainly deserted except for those involved in the fighting. four years ago the protesting was important in removing president saleh and many of those are with the houthi fighters who they are backing. many civilians are suffering fromare lacking from lacking from basic services. medical aid is arriving in sanaa but aid workers say that conditions are difficult. >> the health sector is deteriorating because of the daily airstrikes all over yemen. if they were not supporting us we would be witnessing a health disaster or genocide. >> the united nations said that millions of people have been affected by the conflict since

on the other the japanese coast guard. the stakes have recently risen in a battle that has lasted 20 years. >> we now have a governor who is opposed to the land reclamation here. >> the coast guard's biggest headache are the kayakers. they paddle along the restricted zone markers looking for places to cross. this is obviously the sharpened of the campaign to stop the building, but these protesters have been getting increasingly amount of support from okinawans as a whole. increasingly it's become a battle between okinawa and the decision make necessary tokyo. at its heart is the u.s. air base. it's been deemed dangerously close to buildings an apartment strengthened by allele crash in 2004. the u.s. has agreed to relocate

the facility. prime minister shinzo say that as u.s. commit to the rebalance in asia. they insist that the base should be rebuilt outside of japan. the governor's supporters are motivated by a mixture of environmental and political reasons, they say this is the first time that okinawa wittingly handed over territory. >> the governor uses very clear terms in explain requestinging why okinawans are opposed. >> tokyo recently overruled the governor's refusal to allow paramilitary work in the bay. his next move is the previous government's agreement. in the meantime the activists continue to try to slow down the work and draw attention to their fight. every day they're detained and
