12:02 pm

12:03 pm
is happening in waves we saw a barrage of rockets more than $100.00 rockets at a time so we realize that the situation is serious and the threats of the communists is ongoing if we're looking ahead over the next few days security assessments are being made let's get the latest on the situation in gaza we are looking at a live shot that it does look relatively calm but let's get the picture on the ground we can speak to you al jazeera is gaza and produces half what joins us on the phone please talk us through the very latest had there been more airstrikes in the last half an hour or so. yes to say in the last out of there were 2 very latest story one of them had. bought motors according to local witnesses in the month of gaza strip. mothers have been killed in this attack sit next to a talk in gaza city also there was another israeli airstrike that witnesses said
12:04 pm
that was a car a woman and 2 children was in the city pretty moderate civilian killed the minister of will raise. the number of casualties 40 to 44 people killed. including of course 5 women 50 children the number of injured people also increased to 290 people. like a lot of still ongoing and we could hear the explosions from time to time either out of. order a lot of digging in fighting groups firing rockets towards the. and so forth give us an idea how people have been coping of the night and this morning we know of course some residential buildings were attacked the night where have the
12:05 pm
people who were living in those buildings don't have they had some way to go. let me just refer to this special these 2 special days in the in the season or in the year. and the end of the month and this was supposed to be buying food and food needs of the feast that should be following on but because of the recent escalation or latest escalation the population of gaza has been kept in hall and daughters because there is no 'd infrastructure for civilians there are no shelter still hiding to go down like and other places on other countries like in theirs and for example. i think too that. israelis have informed to resistance of the 2 buildings even the one which is 42 floor
12:06 pm
building or a gelato one with the one with media organizations they have informed the 3 that you will leave. these has completely destroyed the 2 buildings leaving tens of. even those who live next to these buildings. whose houses as we've also done a leaving the outside of industry so looking for now another city or another chance for us to find at least a state now and we are still in the holy times of the 18th of them about people normally the family it's the month of the family the month of busy gathering around the table together so now the families are out of the home and suddenly without any . without any over me previous position of the previous of formation so. there are still more other buildings that have been warned by the israelis that they will destroy them.
12:07 pm
and the families of these missing has also evacuated as many families they have related so for emergency beacon to stay by them but. needs a solution lots of families 2014 be lost their homes and apartments and years to either rebuild their apartment or wait for the nation and. to rebuild. what the israelis destroyed in 2014 it seems that the finale is repeating itself in every war. should let's say a half an hour ago i met a building was destroyed in one of does a neighbor who was killed called share one. of the. one of the families he could be because somebody in the family determined to leave and then
12:08 pm
the family rushed immediately dazzling everything behind them including even necessary documents 1st industry. for the israeli and that they destroyed out but this was normal house $2.00 to $2.00 to $3.00 floors not 14 floors will be ok so what many thanks for that update al-jazeera is gaza producer speaking to us on the phone. now let's go to harry for sense report from southern israel. written in the sky over television the story of just how quickly and decisively this conflict has escalated. the. central israeli suburbs taking direct hits from an enormous barrow of rockets fired out of gaza concentrated into a few short minutes a proportion piercing the iron dome interceptor defenses as military hardware was transported closer to the gaza border israel's prime minister defense minister and
12:09 pm
internal security service chief addressed an attack on central israel the like of which had not been seen in 3 gaza war since 2008 hamas judge those hamas and the islamic jihad will pay a heavy price for their aggressiveness the blood is on their hands. a mass had warned of a major strike on television if israel targeted residential buildings in gaza a little after sunset after telling the families who lived here to get out israel's military did just that. the israeli prime minister had warned of a gathering intensity and pace of attack the army said the building was in part used by hamas. the promised retaliation came swiftly in a coordinated mass launch towards television. this is a wave after wave of attacks coming out of gaza now these rockets are heading in the direction of television we understand there are already sirens being sounded in
12:10 pm
tel aviv and explosions heard from our side warned that it would launch such an attack if israel destroyed residential buildings inside gaza or the destruction of that large building appears to have led to this big escalation in what already was a dangerous situation. and. it was the 2nd time in a day that such a barrage had been fired this was the effect of the earlier one in the town of ashkelon where 2 women were killed. in gaza 2 eruptions of overpowering sudden grief this was the funeral of an 11 year old boy who was killed on monday one child among many dead already in the 1st hours of this conflict is still another generation experiences firsthand the reality of israeli airstrikes on this crowded impoverished besieged strip of land. if they want to escalate the resistance is ready if they want to stop the resistance is ready if
12:11 pm
they want to move their hand out of to roussillon the resistance is ready this is the message that we deliver to all the sides and to whoever is involved. was. and is the crisis deep in between israel and gaza spiting factions a parallel crisis was breaking out within israel's mixed jewish arab towns in lloyd after a palestinian israeli was shot dead by a jewish man look previous night an explosion of into coming all violence this a synagogue set ablaze. the government is sending in security forces usually stationed in the occupied west bank declaring a state of emergency after weeks of tension and sparks of violence the fire has caught and it's spreading. well we can speak now live to you howie 4th it in southern israel howie so many thousands of rockets fired from gaza into israel
12:12 pm
overnight what is the situation like that way you are today. well yes i mean the violence continues this is still in the escalatory phase it seems despite reports of attempted egyptian mediation the latest on the border here is that there was a an anti-tank missile fired by hamas hamas is claiming this as its own operation the i.d.f. the israeli military is saying that a car was struck by that missile that one person was killed and 2 others severely injured one of those 2 injured understood to be in a critical condition reports as well that mortars were fired in the area directly after that and he tank missile was fired into it to to hamper and impede the area the suspicion being to prevent emergency services from getting to it so that is the latest coming out of gaza here on the border we're also hearing from elsewhere in
12:13 pm
israel the effect of those hundreds of rockets that have been fired so far the israeli military says more than a 1000 in this escalation so far in lodz as well as that that communal violence has been taking place and where the prime minister benjamin netanyahu himself turned up at around 2 am to issue a message of a crackdown and law enforcement there were also rocket impacts there and one father and daughter in the courtyard palestinian israeli family as it happens they. they were killed in the in that rocket attack so the deaths. are mounting on the israeli side as well although so far a smaller number than what we've been seeing from inside gaza and have we heard anything else from israeli authorities on where this situation is going to go or we could just going to continue to see an escalation.
12:14 pm
well i mean the message coming from the prime minister and the defense minister in that use conference later on on tuesday was that yes more towers would be taken down that would be a high price for what they consider to be a crossing of a red line just as hamas considers the actions on the temple mount as jews call it a mosque compound to muslims over the weekend and especially on monday was a red line the the long range firing of rockets on jerusalem for the israeli government was that red line being crossed and the sessa taittinger in their terms major military action and all the messaging coming from the government so far is that they intend to set in for a period of sustained attack and there is also pressure coming from the right wing in israel are put potential successor to benjamin netanyahu if the coalition talks
12:15 pm
that are currently ongoing although obviously paused at the moment but these these coalition called talks that have started naftali bennett he has blamed the situation on benjamin netanyahu and says that there should be no let up in attacks until the issue is settled and so there is i think at the moment no public at least. motivation or publicly expressed motivation to tamp down the the attacks from the israeli side at this point i carry force at their 1st in southern israel thank you we can go to need to empower him with the amala in the occupied west bank now which is another part of the country which is also seen an increase in tension needed talk us through what you're hearing from where you are what is the latest from there. the latest is that we have 2 palestinians that were killed by israeli army's one engine in the north of the occupied west bank and one in them
12:16 pm
for water refugee camp near hebron also in the south of the west bank because there have been debuted raids there has been 95 raids overnight from the israeli army to different cities in the west bank that ended up rounding up around more than one stimulus the majority of them are either previous prisoners or linked to a house in the as a result of these raids palestinians took to the streets to fight the israeli army in confrontations erupted also to the injury of more than 30 palestinians who were treated at hospitals it was a tense few days because many palestinians took to the streets sometimes in spontaneous protests and sometimes they took out as a response to calls to organizations and some of these protests went to confrontation points with the israeli army now there are a gap between the palestinian let's say that most of the palestinian youth and
12:17 pm
their leadership and they believe that the palestinian authority isn't really doing much to bridge that gap they believe that the palestinian authority is because it's not part of the solution some are telling us it's part of the problem they want the palestinian authority to do more and it would seem that gap physically in one of the protests in the past few days where we've seen officials walking hand in hand in the beginning of the protest but we've seen a gap left intentionally by palestinian protesters more so for a huge generation because they wanted to show that they're not following that leadership this is the current situation in the occupied west bank it is not to say that we might not see more attacks we've seen in the past palestinians that cars against. illegal israeli settlements checkpoints or israeli military's the
12:18 pm
checkpoint surrounding palestinian cities ok many thanks for that nita in for him there for us in ramallah we are indeed looking at a live shot of the picture in gaza you can see plumes of smoke there we can speak to someone i was actually in gaza at the moment his name is sami abu salaam he's a palestinian journalist and a resident as i was saying we are looking at the shot we can see that this situation is ongoing more strikes continuing talk us through what you've experienced in the last 24 hours or so. unique experience. of all the people in general. but there we are moving in something like. this week because. it's like. and even. anything that
12:19 pm
rockets and. we mean that. that that something is something. we feel that the. globe is burning because the rockets are going from guns on rockets are coming from israel but iran bombs and they are i think each other in the sky. spirit. and. blackout. and we are waiting for or we're waiting for god knows we are waiting for nothing we don't know where things. things are going is it going to be 4 or more it's collision. or as we hope there is international intervention to keep things calm. the signs. that. don't share the sometimes like this the end of ramadan and the beginnings of very the word of warning it is a sense it should be the series of the bold and chopping but now since the
12:20 pm
fall of both and there should have been so wrong case and the series of so by israeli rockets. where hit with. rockets even if you cannot use it for imbalances for because they were well what they were and sammy i believe i believe you have children who must have been terrified of a knife to talk us through how how they're feeling and how they experience what was going through what has been happening and what is it that you say to them when they ask what's happening. they fear and when there is if you really fear and there are no replies and they come to me as i am assured but they don't know that i am i still i am afraid. but i know i took their form in
12:21 pm
a way that will bend them not their brain. but the means they refused to their heart as they are ruled so i join with them sometimes we even in one room and they are asking when it will finish what is going on why is that why it is happening. during now ok if it is ok why we are not ok. so. they are hoping the hope that things will be saved will because because they don't. like like normal humans who are 3 this is not the. apartment it is in. the house to go to place the way farms to buy some some things
12:22 pm
but i cannot allow them because there is a they just want to be children and their house says staff fighting on behalf of the palestinians on behalf of you and the israelis have not left them any choice but to fight is that how you feel. oh no actually. it is the jew why because that is what is going to probably this political problem should be expected to be followed by negotiations peace and put it together for 3 years or by. at the political prison level by president mahmoud abbas or the and or whatever or who or who else is doing is. nothing even the answer our 1st before. they give us nothing no achievement even they signed the act act order which recognizes the
12:23 pm
elo which should lead to a palestinian a 35 years of learning and being $93.00. but now the status quo the result is the euro and for more than 20 years negotiations are negotiations and take it being sure and the result is nothing so people lost. does. not believe in political the new shoes because of the legal system and there are several solutions like 2 state solution israel refuses one institution is a refuses so what is the what is the last choice that is not chosen. to live as palestinians live as nays with the israelis which is.
12:24 pm
rejected that's why it's like open the window or it is why why did that window of sightings nobody like lightning in juneau and humanity i think it means people are buying one this and prime minister. being killed not what they like there but this is the last the choice if that hammers or not and this is the history about even. when the order said the year ago the same thing. they gave us nothing that we buy things with our. we buy it with. in mind been. since 2000 so that's probably what the israelis rock with or not with luck with be
12:25 pm
alone luck with the islamic jihad the problem is the keys the key problem is the israelis don't allow us to live like you and they don't they shut all the doors no but the nobles the old politics ok we have nothing but why the windorah but joy of many feeling of joy is going to. understand ok thank you for thank you for your time stay safe if you can sami abu salem a palestinian journalist and a gaza resident. the un envoy for middle east peace for tore his land tweeted a dire warning and a demand for fire to stop immediately he said we're escalating to as a full scale war leaders and all sides have to take the responsibility of the escalation the cost of war in gaza as devastating and has been paid for by ordinary
12:26 pm
people the u.n. is working with all sides to restore calm stop the violence now. the sentiments largely echoed by the u.n. secretary general antonio could tell us through his spokesman. the secretary general is gravely concerned by the serious escalations in the occupied palestinian territory and israel including the latest escalations in gaza which add to the heightened tensions and violence in the uk in occupied east jerusalem he is deeply saddened to learn of the increasingly large numbers of casualties including children from israeli air strikes in gaza and of israeli fatalities from rockets launched from gaza. to india which has announced a new record daily number of corona virus deaths more than 4200 the number of new infections is also up again to falling for 2 days just over 3 148000
12:27 pm
is now counted more than 23000000 cases since the pandemic began experts say the actual numbers are grossly under reported. families across a latin america struggling to put food on their tables due to the pressures off the pandemic the un food and agriculture organization says malnutrition in school aged children is increasingly becoming a problem a latin america at its elysee a name and reports from santiago. all over chile public schools prepare bags with 15 days' worth of breakfast and lunch one bag per child it's the food a student would normally eat right here if they were attending class what they would have. it includes flavored milk instant oatmeal eggs fish we have to guarantee the proper level of protein and other nutrients for school children. with
12:28 pm
schools closed for more than a year now due to the pandemic parents or older students need to pick up the food to take home. luis everest is taking home the bag allocated to his 4 year old daughter daniella i don't go out there but that i live here before the pandemic we could buy meat or chicken now we have to restrict pasta rice bread things like that every one of them one of them i feel there's nothing here a totally empty part. of all of the family of 7 includes 5 small children including a 4 month old baby but mr everest has been out of work for months so food is scarce which is why the school's food is a big help. malnutrition was a radical they did in chile in great part thanks to the food program yet the latest annual census carried out under the pandemic reveals that the 1st time in decades malnutrition is reappearing up by almost one percent the reasons are multiple
12:29 pm
see for example secondary school student is picking up food bag meant just for her name is irrelevant. i also have 2 small sisters who. share my bag between the 3 of us the un food and agriculture organization predicts that hunger will increase by 7.7 percent in latin america because of the pandemic that translates into 36000000 people but programs like this one underscore that malnourishment and hunger do not always go hand in hand in fact chilean children are amongst the most obese in the world. and during the pandemic use obesity has actually increased but in addition most of them disapprove malnutrition isn't only caused by small amounts of food it can also be caused by food of poor quality especially in excess of gobble hydrates without protein fruit or vegetables. in fact the census
12:30 pm
shows that malnutrition that causes stunted growth is also being found in children were not from low income families another example of how close with 19 is impacting our health well beyond the virus itself you see in human al-jazeera. and this is al jazeera these are your top stories gaza has been under a near constant barrage of airstrikes as israel launched its most intense bombardment in years police headquarters and government buildings have been destroyed and at least $44.00 palestinians killed palestinian rockets have rained down on israeli tells in cities killing at least 5 more than a 1000 were fired overnight targeting areas as far away as tel of even the north down to beer sheva in the south.
