explosions everywhere in gaza city and we learned that our. strikes in other places all over the gaza strip south and north. it seems that the israeli targets has been promoted and now it's the last biggest target was the back of the national and islamic bank and the central area of the gaza strip displaying cars being totally destroyed and the same bank was also destroyed in the wars that are you know water in gaza in 2014 as they have claimed this bank has been dealing or owned by hamas officials that's why it's within that any bank of targets also next office 13. strikes have been hitting the main road in gaza in the gaza city duckling south and north of gaza city itself which made the road unusable anymore the building here

our offices shake the windows have been broken the doors have been broken we had to fix everything from the top in order in our main office. back to the political office we have the chance to talk work to one of the politicians here in gaza who preferred to speak in an enormous condition who told me that from the beginning. other international out of power they had been talking then put a cease fire he told me that we are not interested in more escalation of this collision from gaza was a message supporting message to the people of. them on a message to those that it is that they have to stop all that are going to sion. again and i want people in jerusalem according to the official he said i would much he was sent on the ball in the israeli court we had to wait. israelis to decide. to stop they are direction and their air strike against gaza so far the air

strikes and even the rockets from from gaza are start on the rockets i've been exchanging between the palestinian armed groups on the israeli army. the minister of health who was complaining from the huge number of casualties that they have been receiving we spoke to a director of the hospital in gaza which is the biggest hospital in the gaza strip and he said most of the casualties that have been are arriving towards sheaffer hospital. including women and children and innocent and has nothing to do with the conflict according to the doctor he said the health system have been suffering a lot in the last 15 years of israeli siege on gaza and as you know gaza there were 3 wars in the last 10 years only gaza i think through the siege on the

covered 1000 prices so he said the health system is collapsing in gaza if there will be more casualties and if there would be more israeli. it means that we will not be able to deal with big numbers of casualties are arriving to shift hospital or other hospitals doc belong to the ministry of health he said 65 palestinians have been killed including 15 children and 6 women and more than 300 people injured and. that 80 attacks and strikes in the last couple of days from gaza as you said plus seen on group had been firing rockets towards southern israel and even in response to the assassination of hamas'. senior military commander and. also other 3 islamic jihad military commanders there was

a. huge wave of rockets that longer range targets including tel of you've including. ashkelon and even better ship which is the 2nd biggest city. in israel people are expressing their anger because 1st of all 2 thirds of the population of under the line of poverty and they have to work daily to. to get the minimum needs of their of their children including the essential food. and other elements essential for every house now they are staying home not working even those who work in daily bases lost their jobs or their work and. now. we're here with. other.

dogs. just. continuing the lives we were just speaking to suffer. in gaza and we heard incredibly loud explosions just now we heard some explosions as well of the beginning of that live with safwat but those much much louder explosions about 3 or 4 i think i counted difficult to tell how far they would be i think. and a sapphire to al can do a correspondent in gaza was telling us course. they have continued to hear there have continued to be explosions throughout the night it's now around 1

am in gaza 10 minutes past so suffer what out to lieutenant if you can still hear me i think stuff what is out ok. i hope you're ok. so i can't we are ok i just checked with my colleagues ok thank god this is the case the whole day in gaza by this is the case of every every citizen living in gaza city or in the gaza strip so if suddenly you have these huge explosions that shake 'd houses shake offices shake the streets so the fear the real fear is that when we talk to father was they are very much concerned about their children you know now most of all the children and a guy in gaza they start when they are sleeping and they wake up with huge

explosions of course this is causing psychological problems even ministry of health that that they are afraid that they will have to deal with post-traumatic. problems with children and women after the end of the escalation or the latest round of the current round of violence or a rail escalation so i think there are some crises and some problems that appear after the end of every skill ation including these mental problems caused by such huge explosions one of my children are sleeping everybody is almost sleeping and god or so this is the case the whole day and the last $33.00 nights out 2 nights in gaza in the gaza strip center of traumatizing for

a grownup now they can see and maybe they can go on now we can see some rockets are fired from gaza now. into southern israel. no we are becoming experts. from resulted. from the. defense system. of the. south. thank you very much i know it's difficult to do. but do try and keep yourself safe suffer thank you and we were hearing there some very loud explosions just a few minutes ago and of course attacks have. on gaza throughout the night it's now about 1 am there. well ignacio.

heard of the legation of the international committee of the red cross and he joins us live from gaza. last year i don't know whether you can hear it too but we have a live shot over the gaza skyline and we keep on hearing these explosions tell us a little bit about what you've experienced over the past few hours. even you know your brother just has an explosion. was heard before. it was so it was good to hear so i mean you know you have said it all and i truly don't think we can we can extend this. interview much longer i think the better go along but. i think i can answer absolutely i don't want to put you in any more danger than you already are in so please let's start at the interview now and we will of course

speak to you again on al-jazeera whenever you can at any point in the next few days just tuck barbara just out real quick i would like to say that the but these were complete they have to respect the principles of international humanitarian law those principles are the prohibition of conduct. that indiscriminate attacks against. the means of holding the attacks on the defense in a proportion i do mother and in need of issue because it is a god we. strongly. ask there but due to a conflict. because i was trained. to reach the escalation from where we are thank you. ignacio because they discussed see ahead of the sub the legation of the international committee of the red cross thank you very much for having joined us and we will speak to you again in the near

future so that you can see the gaza skyline we've been live with gaza 1st to our correspondent and then with our guests from the international committee of the red cross live to gaza will what about 8 minutes or so and in that time we heard some explosions at the start of the live and then some very very loud explosions 34 in a row. about 5 minutes ago and we can see. there. in gaza city one of our correspondents for al jazeera arabic also spoke. to. doctors the main hospital in gaza and as you can imagine of course the system there is stretched almost to breaking point so far around 60 dead including 50 children. that is the gaza skyline we will of course bring you the latest from the strip as it happens here on al-jazeera.

well that's the situation in gaza tensions of also spilled onto the streets of israel's makes the palestinian israeli towns in neighborhoods there have been riots in the city of tel aviv shops owned by palestinian israelis have been targeted and there have been street attacks on palestinian israeli it's one of the worst spasms of communal violence israel has seen in years one of the country's 2 chief rabbis has appealed for restraint. well harry foresaid has the latest now from southern israel. people are talking about it as if they can't really put a finger on any time that they know of where the entire country seems to erupt in this sort of really personal on the streets community to community racial violence and not just in in one place sparked by one thing but all across the country we've seen these similar images of jews and arabs facing off in the streets

earlier there was in the city of baghdad what looked like an attempted public lynching of a man who was just thrown to the floor and beaten repeatedly in front of television cameras they thought he was an arab it turned out he was a jew and this is been happening up and down the country so the prime minister benjamin netanyahu had called for an iron fist to deal with this he's put out a recorded message in which he said that what is happening in the country is unbearable it's an icky indeed that is it with a lot of people abusing an icky because of the overwhelming of the police presence and the decision to bring in military forces instead and he's calling for unity and to succumb to the previous status quo together but at the moment it's an extremely worrying development at the same time as israel is dealing as you can here with this continuing escalation. a statement from israel

says prime minister benjamin netanyahu has told u.s. president joe biden his country will continue to strike how massive the tree capabilities earlier biden said he was optimistic the violence what and. my expectation hope is that. this will be. closing down sooner or later but israel has a right to defend itself and you have thousands of rockets lined in your territory but. i had a conversation for a while with the prime minister of israel and i think that. my hope is that will see this coming to conclusions sooner or later. get more now from mike hanna in washington d c anything new really do you think in that statement from joe biden amine we sort of heard the same mantra of israel has a right to defend itself do you get

a sense that joe biden will react in any way that will try to put an emphasis on israel to to stop the aggression. well it's interesting that he did not mention that statement that has just come from prime minister netanyahu that he told president biden that he was going to continue this attack president biden saying there that he's optimistic that there could be and end in sight what president biden appears to be basing this on is what we've heard in the course of the day is numerous diplomatic contacts under way through the u.s. state department through individuals in the white house dealing with their israeli counterparts but wider than that also dealing with neighboring states negotiating more discussing with people in qatar in egypt both countries of which of course have a major influence in the region particularly within the gaza strip itself interestingly

enough as well it was also mentioned that the white house staff are talking to palestinian leaders so it's not just a dialogue going on with israel with one of the parties in the conflict but indeed with both and yet at the same time we have president biden there making very clear that mantra that we always hear from united states politicians and that is that israel has a right to defend itself removing it from the context of what this conflict truly is but president biden that parent lee attempting to walk a fine line here he's been saying he wants to recalibrate the u.s. relationship with israel moving it away from that incredibly close relationship that existed under the previous administration but at the same time he's left in place some of those changes that were made under the trump administration such as moving the u.s. embassy to jerusalem which effectively ended any hope of resuming dialogue between israelis and palestinians so at the moment what's the u.s.

appears to be offering the biden administration appears to be offering is a negotiated process attempting to persuade the parties or to use 3rd parties to bring the imp. to try and get a deescalation of conflict but certainly no stringent action apparently being contemplated by the biden administration what we do know too is that attempts in the un security council to get a statement out of this conflict was blocked by the united states as a permanent member. mike hanna with the latest on that from washington thank you. let's take a look at some of the day's other news of reporter into the global response to covert 1000 says february 2020 was a last month as countries took a wait and see approach to the swift spreading disease independent world health organization experts found the failure to react to early warnings allowed the fire

be hard $100.00 bodies of suspected car that mine 1000 victims have been found floating in the ganges river. are officials at the scene and investigating we are trying to find out where did these dead bodies come from how did they get here and their numbers. with kramatorsk around the country struggling to deal with a huge increase in bodies residents of gaza report an author they say they inform the local administration about a shortage of what for cremations. we told the administration that the dead are being thrown in the water because of the shortage of water bodies from the well about 13 villages have been trolling the water. be our government denies reports of what shortages it says it's carrying out post-mortems on the bodies to determine the causes of death elsewhere and india patients to continue to die because of oxygen shortages 26 in the southern state of goa. yesterday we had a requirement of 1200 someone does we got only 400 there was interrupted oxygen

supply from 2 am to 6 am which caused a lot of deaths. cases are increasing in southern india where 18 people also died from oxygen shortages this week in the states of. and 10 and despite the number of cases dropping in about half of india's states including the worst affected regions of maharashtra and delhi one in 5 people testing. gets a positive result and that's because the virus has simply spread to other areas most notably the 5 states where regional elections were held in april elizabeth al-jazeera. is starting its 1st mass vaccination rollout using 2 of its own locally produced jobs the so but on a 02 and vaccines are currently in phase 3 of clinical trials they will be given to 780000 people in the 1st phase with

a total of 5 vaccines in different stages of development and augustine is and have been a he explains how cuba has been able to develop so many vaccines the spite its economic difficulties. the 90 vaccines around the world economy undergoing clinical trials 5 of those akiva on this is in a population of 11000000 people a 6th of the world's population. and it's all the more incredible given the sanctions that i mean right now that there are bread shortages around have right now. the state is doling out cooking oil from the world food programme i've been here 8 years i've never seen privation and people like this but you know on the other hand co-existing with this with this reality of scarcity. scientific progress i think i think part of the simply that it was always a big priority for the cuban government. fidel castro was amount of cessed with public health and he founded. the biological front in 1901 and then

a lot of resources and mines and human capital were put into the biotech industry over the last 40 years. the result of what we're seeing now. one of the u.s. republican parties congressional leaders has been ousted from her position because she refuses to agree with donald trump the presidential election was rigged and the former president's defense secretary has asked congress why more wasn't done to stop the capitol hill riot in january she reports. ever since the capitol hill riots of january several committee hearings have been analyzing what exactly happened and what happened to the security that had been assumed to be in place one of the many questions once it was clear the capitol was being stormed why did it take so long to call for the deployment of the national government on wednesday doldrums defense secretary suggested he was worried that if troops were called him they would be confusion as to which side they were room

congress or the rangers i want to remind you in the american during that time the risk irresponsible commentary by the media about a possible military coup or that it buys or. the president. of martial law we're going to the capital miller contends that trumps election fraud claims contributed to the riots yet elsewhere on capitol hill the number 3 republican in the house liz cheney was being kicked out of her leadership position by members of our party for a failure to back exactly that claim she vowed revenge i will do everything i can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the oval office for years federal agencies have warned that it was right wing groups that pose the biggest domestic terror threat no money and resources were funneled into surveilling and arresting racial minorities and those fighting for civil rights the bike did ministration is promising a recalibration this is still your assessment of what the previous extremists are

the most lethal threat we face in the home game today. mr chairman i do believe that the intelligence reflects the fact that indeed that is the case and you agree i do and that's the most recent assessment of the f.b.i. civil rights groups welcome the change of focus but are concerned but it will be used to expand current laws that already allow for widespread surveillance of u.s. citizens and create new domestic terrorism doesn't nations i'm databases were worried that their reaction is going to entrenched frameworks that have been used against lakin around communities and there is not going to be a prioritization. of white nationalist violence in a way that we think is necessary for the trump supporters were planning something significant on capitol hill have been telegraphed for weeks if not months on social

media there was no need for any extra domestic surveillance yet civil liberties groups fear that the riots that ensued will now be used as a pretext for even deeper supervision of the views of all u.s. citizens. and see al-jazeera capital. plan after reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera israel is pressing on with its brutal offensive on gaza with a 3rd day of air strikes and no resolution in sight. the 14 story out shuttle tower in gaza city was partially bombed by israeli jets as a warning to evacuate.
