these ruins. now five people are dead. yanisch bradden has recovered some stuff from the rubble. his only son was 10 years here, and he's dead now age 21. >> you found him here? >> yes. how i found the dead body of my son, head down and leg up. >> reporter: was it broken? >> no. i broken everything. my life is finished. >> reporter: he watches over as the soldiers use their bare hands for the search of his son's grandmother monique. loss of a different kind. this is the square, one of nepal's seven unesco world heritage sites did environment stated by the quake. four buildings dating back to

the 14th and the 15th 15th century been seriously damaged but for now the priority is life, what's left of it, not nepal's rich and valuable history. these women say they have given up any hope of finding their relatives. they are among more than 50 people who have lived at the end of this street. no one here wants to live in a building until they are convinced it's safe. the constant fog of funeral motorcades goes by them. this is a constant reminder of how the earth shook and consumed so many people's lives. andrew simmons nepal. >> the rescuers are trying to reach outline villages to assess the quake damage. we have this report from just outside of kathmandu. >> reporter: we are in the village of host city where at least 20 people have died. there are a cluster of old houses which all came crumbling

down. around six people were buried over here. they were all cremated yesterday. now the entire village is not only in a shock but also they are quite angry because of the lack of services from the government. this gentleman over here, bicram, can you tell us what kind of help you have received from the government? >> so far we have not received anything from the government. we had an armed police come and throw three tarps. everybody is living outside. nobody is in the village. not even dogs are in the village. >> reporter: the police might be coming because earlier we had found some government vehicles trying to pass and the locals are so angry that they were not allowing any government vehicles to pass through. >> i will brought some relief for bandaquan but i will give you three packets for here. >> reporter: so they just found out that the relief material over here is not actually for this village and the locals

are refusing to allow anyone to pass through. they want the relief materials for this area. everyone is saying they are hungry tired thirsty and they want relief now! and they are also expressing concern about how if this village, which is just a few kilometers outside the city is suffering like this, the fate of many of the mountainous areas is unknown. sabina thresher, al jazeera, kathmandu. >> bring us the very latest on the search and the rescue operations, please. >> well, lauren, i spoke to members of a dutch search and rescue team that were here just about an hour ago. this is the st. arbor square that andrew described in his piece. this is the unesco world heritage site and a lot of it is now rubble. i asked the members of the crew

if they were searching for people. he said nobody is alive. the dogs were sniffing around and they couldn't find anybody. generally, it's the first 72 hours that is the most likely time to find survivors. that's coming up in a few hours from now that window. now, again as we heard it's only kathmandu and the surrounding areas that we have been able to gauge the devastation, but it's really the places inside, close inside nepal, the interior, where the towns and the villages closer to the epicenter. we still have no word about what's going on there and that's where the search and rescue teams need to go to see the full extent of the damage. >> and we sue in sabina's report some the anger that people are experiencing, even where aid is passing through and going on to somewhere else. is there any way to deal with that. there are any improvements on that front? >> well, lauren, honestly, no. it's been a very uncoordinated effort from what we have seen, even when we flew into the

airport. the airport only has one runway and only certain type of aircraft can land. so many relief workers many countries sending aid want to be able to land, but they all can't and even the ones that do there's no real coordination on the ground to sort everything out. the government, the military are trying their best but they are basically overwhelmed. and one thing talking to locals here this has been a very stressful time for them, obviously, but it's -- it's -- battling not only everything that's happened to them but mother nature as well. yesterday it rained here. so people seeking shelter out in the open. they had to run back in for shelter. then there were four aftershocks and they ran out again. it's cool in the nighttime and it's hot in the daytime during the sunshine. they have been under an immense amount of pressure. they have been very friendly to us. it's admirable considering everything they have been through, how some of them are acting. but, again that's in kathmandu

itself. as you heard from andrew and sabina once you get outside the city of kathmandu the villages and more affected areas, you are seeing the tensions rise considerably. >> okay, thank you very much indeed for that live update from kathmandu. ♪ >> the u.n. chief as condemned israel's actions during the gaza war after an inquiry which found that seven u.n. schools were fired on and they describe 44 palestinians who died as deplorable. hamas was hiding weapons in three separate schools which were empty and not used as she she shelters at the time. james beatty joins us live. where does this report go from here? >> reporter: well, the report is complete at the board of inquiry and that really is it. it was a report commissioned by

ban kim moon. all that's been released is a summary. we are told that the actual full report, because many of the people spoke to the u.n. in confidence is not going to be made public. i think there could be important repercussions from this report because it's very clear when you get into the detail of it, that the seven schools that were targeted were all hit by israel. it confirms that these deaths that took place the 44 deaths of civilians were all a result of israeli action. yes, there were three instances of schools where weapons were found, belonging to hamas but they were not schools being used as she she she shelters and they have no civilians in temple -- in them. there will be some states that will be deeply concerned about this i have think the other interesting fact is that since

that war eight months ago in gaza something very significant has changed and that's the fact that palestinian is now a member of the international criminal court and the international criminal court has jurisdiction. >> indeed. do you think anyone will really be held accountable? >> well, it's a question for the security council which can refer things to the international criminal court but also for the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court. she's already looking at the situation in palestine. she's doing a preliminary consideration to decide whether to launch a formal inquiry. she now has access to a lot more information a trained u.n. investigator is working at this board and they have been compiling. it's no the clear though, whether the chief prosecutor will get access to the full report or just a summary that has been made public and given to us. >> james, thank you very much, indeed. mourners have gathered for the funeral of a black man who

died in the u.s. city of baltimore than a week ago. the death of 25-year-old freddie gray has triggered a new wave of protests against law enforcement agencies in the u.s. gray died from spinal injuries seven days after his arrest. several officers have been suspended from duty as the investigators work out what exactly happened. >> reporter: amongst some 2,000 mourners at the new shiloh baptist church from me, several of the obama white house the baltimore city mayor and the state's congressmen and also others who are related to men killed by the u.s. police over the last few months, for example the daughter of eric garner. he was the man whose cell phone video showed was being cloaked by police -- choked by police officers before his death in new york. amidst the eulogies, there have been some specific demands being made at the service for freddie gray. for example the appointment of

a special prosecutor to look into alleged abuse by the baltimore police department. you have to remember that until the cell phone video of freddie gray's arrest was revealed, the police's official account was it was an arrest without incident and yet somehow in under an hour of police custody, freddie gray suffered a three broken vertebrae and other issues. federal and local investigations are underway. for those would have been protesting over the last week, it's pretty clear that something is deeply wrong with the baltimore police department. >> still to come on the program, they killed because he was a migrant living in south africa. one victim's family tells al jazeera justice must be done. and argentina's railway network is back on track as part of the government's renationalization campaign.

been affected by the conflict since late and their situation has been made worse by the lack of healthcare, water food, or fuel. karen malone, al jazeera. rescue workers in syria say there's been another attack in two cities in the west. they believe this was in retaliation for the rebel takeover of a syrian army camp. we have the report. >> reporter: gasping for air the civilians are treated inside field hospitals after another suspected chlorine attack. witnesses say helicopters dropped chlorine overy dlib in hama on sunday. it comes after rebel groups gained more territory in a strategic town in the vicinity, the u.n. security council has blamed the syrian army for chlorine attacks. the security council has threatened action for the violation of international law but even though none of the rebel groups has access to helicopters, the security

council says it has no way to confirm the syrian army is responsible. despite the attack iny dlib, opposition fighters say they had a major victory. using suicide car bombs and rating a gas station rebel forces say they seized control of a vital syrian army camp. fighters say the troops fled before they could burn their cache of weapons and ammunition. by seizing the army camp, the rebels hope it will allow them to cut off a major supply line to government troops in the area. natasha ganame al jazeera. an air strike on the border with syria after spotting fighters carrying a bomb. four people were killed in the strike which targeted an area in the israeli goland heights. israeli troops said they saw fighters approach the border with explosive. there's more fighting in libya, benghazi.

solidarity and offering condolences after 1,700 people have drowned in the waters of the mediterranean this year, but i think also some serious policy discussions between him and the italian prime minister mateo renzi and the head of e.u. foreperson policy. i think if you look at what ban kim moon was saying before he arrived. he said there's no military solution to this refugee crisis and this could be taken as a veiled criticism of the european union's summary of the summit when it spoke about the need to destroy smugglers boats, the implication that they are contemplating military force particularly off the coast of libya. i think ban kim moon will be keen to hear what the europeans hear about that exactly. they may want to hear from him as to what sort of international initiatives there are to bring any form of stability back to libya which is a general recognition

certainly in italy that that's a key component of resolving this crisis in the long run. and just a reminder, that the flow of 50 -- arrivals to italy is not slowing down. the italian navy says that it brought ashore, 274 migrants and picked up off the libyan coast and they are just northeast of sicily, from where i'm speaking to you. at least 45 people, mostly women and children have died in pakistan after heavy rain and strong winds ripped through a northwest city. the pakistani army has joined the rescue efforts. winds swept 163 kilometers per hour uprooting trees and flattening buildings store and protests again the president's decision to run for a third team in office. the police found tear gas and water cannons. it was the second day of demonstrations following the
