are then from fighting groups. as we know dr civil to places have been. barred days that are early. but there is rarely army including our office last night also was another mile. in and i'm shocked that a few which is few 100 meters from where we are now we have mobilized we moved to another safer place are now. trying to rebuild everything from the beginning. we start to diminish in supply and i believe we can continue our reporting back to what the spokesperson of hamas military wing will known as the spokesperson of brigades he said. the general commander of the car some brigades.

if he gave his instructions to his fighters to hold the fire. fighting is over. for couple of hours. to live and lifting the closure on. 4 tours this is the 1st time that happens that far to the palestinian fighting groups send this message they want to show that they are the one who is controlling the field. they can also control the lives. they were sending another message to the israeli internal. also from. we are still strong and we can whenever we want to stop also. whenever we want. from the other side also we could use some explosions coming from the navy the israeli navy. they are fighting some. areas in the north of gaza strip we could

hear also some. explosions list in comparison with previous of explosion that's why we call them lie because here we are used to hear a lot of explosions consecutive wimbledon's in different places but the last hour was it a little bit quiet in comparison with what earlier today on with previous nice and we still don't know we haven't received any information about. the talks of the cease fire mediated by egypt and also watched by the united states we heard about. related. negotiations or talks to reach the cease fire but on the ground there is no concrete or positive indications of cease fire as you see in the bar ground here it's almost care fuel in the gaza

strip most of the people are staying home it's not only at night but the during the day day they leave only just for emergency. for emergency cases for or to meet the images he needs for their families. in gaza there are no shelters for people to hide or to to take shelter during the bottom and the other hand hundreds of families. there were forced to evacuate their homes. staying across the border line between gaza and is that i'll start of. the ground that israeli ground artillery fired lots of. along the borders that are taking hundreds funders are taking from you on schools shelters until at least the end of this round of condition. so what

a hoot thank you very much indeed for joining us. al-jazeera has released the following statement condemning in the strongest terms the bombing and destruction of its offices by the minute she in gaza and saying it views this as a clear act to stop journalists from conducting their sacred duty to inform the world and reporter events on the ground the statement went on to say the assault aims to silence the truth by killing the messenger and the journalism is not a crime they say should it press release this video of its start of accurate in the building in gaza before the israeli airstrike the president a c.e.o. of the news agency gary pruitt says the company only narrative boarded a loss of life and he told our visitor he would like to see proof that hamas had a presence in the building up i can tell you that we've been in that building for 50 about 15 years with our bureau we certainly had no sense that hamas was there we would like to see the evidence we're not sure whether hamas was there or not we

don't know but i can tell you the impact will be that the world will know less about what's going on in gaza because that building was leveled it had great sightlines to show the world what was going on in gaza and that will be lost across gaza families have been holding funerals for loved ones killed by israeli airstrikes many of them children nor about manly has more than a warning there are disturbing images from the beginning of her report. at the funeral of a child in the city of rafah in southern gaza was that a woman in shock says only children playing with their toys mothers grandmothers and families left inconsolable yes it was. innocent victims of days of heavy israeli airstrikes and artillery fire that destroyed homes and neighborhoods vote out of what is by be done it we were sitting safely at home we

didn't hear a warning rocket our house got hit violently why why why do they bomb houses and their residence. in the northern beit hanoun neighborhood people search through rubble for their belongings gaza is home to about 2000000 people in an enclave under israeli blockade there are few places to escape the bombs of gaza is probably the most densely populated spot on earth and it has been under 14 years of air or sea and land blockade it is the place where the spare is extremely high and were civilians are trapped. to scape the bombs many children as sheltering in schools but they still don't feel safe. and i'm not that we ran out of a house after the air attacks and our house was bombed we fled to the school when told that the smoke from the bomb was poisonous we don't know what the poison is and we only know that the thick smoke after the explosion was very choking for what

purpose in the united states on thursday house democrat rashida to play up made an emotional statement to congress reading the words of a palestinian mother. i want to read something a mother named the man and as a wrote 2 days ago. she said quote tonight i put the kids to sleep in our bedroom so that when we die we die together. as al-jazeera spoke to a man about the message it was interrupted as bombs exploded nearby you can hear it actually while we're speaking there is loud sounds of bumping the. people who are living through fine lines. if the single day. we wake up to light a message is like i why. we're scared every single night we are names. hamas and its allies have responded to the attacks by firing

a barrage of rockets from inside gaza. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the bombardment will not end soon. as bombs fall rescue workers seek the survivors after a house was hit an all shouty refugee camp on friday killing 10 members of a family funerals are taking place throughout gaza for those killed which includes dozens of children for those who survived the bombs they're now in the traumatized and terrified of further attacks. during the al-jazeera a 5 month old baby was the only survivor from that israeli air strike on a house in the refugee camp in gaza baby omar is being treated in hospital he suffered a broken leg ironed throat injuries and bruising his mother and 4 siblings all died in the attack along with 5 other relatives and they were visiting relatives for each celebrations. over what is that the muslim i don't i call on the international

community those who support human rights and buildings rights and democracy about those who prefer lies only one child want to look to our children here who are going from strikes would drop entire of us laws on to people whose body parts we have to recover. israeli police of fought with a crowd of palestinian youngsters protesting peacefully in shape gera in occupied east jerusalem they've been confrontations in the neighborhood there since last week over the threatened 1st expansion of palestinian families from their homes to make way for jewish settlers israel's high court has postponed the ruling on the evictions of the protests continue. israeli forces have wounded at least 29 palestinians during not by day protests in the occupied west bank a protester being held in hebron ramallah now bruce and qalqilya the rise mark the 73rd anniversary of the day the arab israeli war broke out one day after israel

declared independence is a catastrophe in iraq. 750000 palestinians are the fled or were expelled from their homes during the war 15000 palestinians were killed and more than 500 arab villages destroyed neither they nor their descendants have been allowed by israel to return more than 70 years later some $5000000.00 palestinians are registered by the un as refugees the right of return is a key demand of palestinians and their leaders but israel says it would be overwhelmed every year palestinians gather to participate in demonstrations to commemorate the nakba arabic as we said for a catastrophe but they often display a symbolic keys emblematic of their lost homes it abraham has more from a protest in theory in the occupied west bank where palestinians have been confronting israeli forces. these palestinians most of them were born after the $99.00 after. the palestinian. and they were

promised. by their leaders that they're going to be having freedom and a state instead of all these people are seeing now is if you can hear the tear gas bombs that are being fired by the israeli army we've even seen the israeli army. mission we have 3 palestinians were now in a critical condition more than 50 palestinians were injured according to medical sources and the majority of these people were hit by live ammunition these people here would tell you that there are. talks of having a state talks of having it instead what they see on the ground is intensifying this really. intensifying israeli power and this release which often when the israelis say that they are investigating the allegations or these attacks 90 more than 90 percent of 5 percent of these attacks on indicted so there is

a sense here that these really are building in the west bank having the upper hand these people who are trying to fight and the only way as many of them were telling us they don't have anything and one palestinian protested was even showing us how he was making up. by adding petrol and a piece of cloth dripping glue and then they would try. to words the israeli soldiers it's kind of like small means they don't have much but they were telling us that if this is what we have to bring palestine to this is what we are going to do. is the norwegian refugee council's. he his pregnant wife and 3 year old daughter have had to move for times in the last days because of the asteroid she joins us via skype from gaza thank you very much for being with us i want to ask you about the broader situation but but i want to

1st of all i ask you about your personal situation quite scary. i think i don't think that's enough for to describe the situation in gaza i think started everything started on tuesday 6 pm when i was at my apartment in beit lahiya with my pregnant wife and daughter when there is a air force attack the apartment below my apartment by a drunk ok so it was really hard to understand and i don't recall its kind of warning that is going to be follow up followed by heavier strikes or what are you thinking about to just to escape from the house and that that moment was a crazy moment and i had to do it with my terrified daughter my pregnant wife or what we're thinking is just we need to move out from that building so i went to my family building at the same the same neighborhood that we spend that 1st crazy night that night the next day i went back to my apartment check our damage collect

some clothes some stuff for my wife and a doctor after into the apartment they attacked it one more time so i had to scale back again so i'm to learn now i have i have the fishes as out that were buried. i had to go to my apartment so my family apart again and it was another heavy night when the israeli air force is attacked by more than 30 strike and one minute the same neighborhood where we live so also the next day we had to flee to my grandparents house and me to live another night of nightmares. tell me that is there anywhere that people can go in gaza to to be safe apart from trying to shelter with family and so on unfortunately i don't think that any places across gaza can close a safe place and forming an cheatings everywhere. what was the aim for him to push on to move it to a broader question what's the norwegian refugee council and what sort of impact has

all this had on on the services available to people like the water electricity. unfortunately until now we cannot we didn't start to do our work. and what we are as he can get there and allowing for the humanitarian to do their work serving that displaced people after that people start to do flee their houses 2 days ago and specially last night to shelters and this is one of our main work is to save displaced people and until now we are waiting that situation because more cars more i don't know that. ladies allowed for us to start to work freely this people have to flee their work places until now any one what about the hospitals and the actress years on how they functioning. actually the issue of electricity is one of them a problem that the governors have to deal with self-esteem is really imposed the siege on gaza which affected every 6 specially also health sector which were

suffering since 14 years with this collation after escalation and recently we had a great marshal pretend they had to deal with thousands of casualties and after that one year of course with 19 and then this happened so i don't think that ourselves too could cope with any more escalation or even more days it's already and it cannot cope with the current situation before the escalation so you can imagine how the situation with all of these guys what is now you mention that you have a 3 year old what's your impression from your own experience of the impact on children of all this. i think there are causes on this that children had to be something to deal with in gaza for a long time for us to deal with. as a person experience i had to flee my family have i had to put my wife and my daughter at her father or his parents' house my father in law so i again after 2

days and. a bombing had been when i was out of them so i could get up my daughter trying to hug her i don't know if i wanted to me to make her feel most safe then i realized that my reaction who with whom which make afraid not the bomb being and i realize how much hard my wife was to have tried to convince her that all of this bombing across gaza is fireworks so. i think we need to focus more after this crisis finished to the impact on the children goes you so so hamish thank you very much indeed for taking the time choice thank you you will come thank you. presenter biden has spoken about the conflict with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the palestinian president mahmoud abbas let's cross to patty callahan in washington d.c. do we have any more further information about the conversation. we do we've finally gotten the readout from the white house and typically that begins as it

almost always does with the president saying he expressed his full support for israel calling for the rockets to cease being sent in from gaza but he did say he raised it raises this statement said he raised concerns about the safety and security of journalists and reinforced meetings use me the need to ensure their protection obviously he is going to get a lot of pushback especially from the more progressive left if he does not come out with a strong response to the bombing of international media headquarters that the netanyahu readout of the call he said that an involved were evacuated again pointing to the israeli claim that there was hamas in the building to which i should point out they have not offered any single bit of proof about that but then the president's readout says the president went on to talk about palestine and he said see express support for moves to enable palestinian people to enjoy dignity security freedom and economic. and economic relief so obviously he is now starting to talk more

about the situation in palestine both calls both readouts of the calls from both leaders really stressed that he's working with them in the in the players in the region to try and come up with a way for this conflict to come to an end so the overall message from both statements really the takeaway seemed to be the by administration is focusing on how this and trying to send the message that they support both sides the president has been pretty unwavering in his support for israel he is now starting to talk a little bit more about the palestinian side as you know again thank you very much indeed. tauren has learned the united nations special coordinator for the middle east peace process has tweeted his horror at the strikes on the refugee camp putting out that at least 40 children of have been killed in airstrikes on gaza he said children continue to be the victims of this deadly escalation i reiterate that children must not be the target of violence or put in harm's way the hostilities

must stop now of course a christian salumi at the united nations christian any progress towards a meeting there. the u.n. security council will hold its 1st open meeting on the situation in the middle east since the recent escalation on sunday so far the secretary general of the united nations along with 2 or venice one who you just quoted from have been very outspoken in calling for violence to cease and expressing their grave concern about the situation on the ground but the council itself is yet to speak with one voice and we're not sure if they will do that when they meet tomorrow either what we do know is that council members will be allowed to express their national views in the meeting on friday council members had hoped to issue a statement with one voice 14 of them did 50 the 15th the united states blocked

that statement from being released they also blocked an open meeting from taking place on friday the united states saying that it wanted a small chance for high level diplomacy to deescalate tensions and work towards easing the violence of course. anything but that has happened the situation has of course gotten worse on the ground we've seen the violence escalated that has put the united nations and the united states in particular in a bit of a tricky position here at the united nations when they have been talking openly about the need for more international cooperation on on the many issues to then be seen as blocking this meeting put them in an uncomfortable position now or seeing that the united states agreed to a meeting on sunday. but again we don't know if the body will come together this is the un's most powerful body the security council will they speak with one voice in

calling for some sort of action or calm on the ground there we know that council members continue to push for that norway china and estonia were. responsible for drafting a suggested statement earlier in the week the one that the united states refused to support and as a veto wielding member of the council has the power to stop if the security council gets together on sunday and only. speaks in national capacity and does not issue a statement the president of the general assembly has also expressed his willingness to hold a meeting as well at which all member states would be able to express their concerns typically this is something that happens when the security council is deadlocked and unable to speak so that in and of itself may encourage the united states and other members of the council to finally put aside their differences and come together with a clear statement. on the situation there one that certainly u.n.

officials tell us they are hopeful to get in order to lend the weight of the security council to efforts to calm the calm the situation on the ground kristensen to me at the u.n. thank you very much people around the world have been rallying against israel's bombardment of gaza. the. this was the scene in baghdad earlier demonstrators gathered into his square to show support for palestinians in gaza some in the crowds were seen burning israeli flags demonstrators also gathered the solidarity protests in the country capital doha hundreds of protesters waved palestinian flags at the grand mosque in the center of the city and is my honey ahead of the political bureau of hamas addressed the crowd. will not give in and will always be on top of the mountain. carrying the sword and shield for jerusalem and. gold with

brothers and sisters who look. that has been besieged for 15 years 15 years under siege from every direction garza today. in paris police used tear gas and water cannon against demonstrators who defied a protest ban to rally in support of palestinians and the city's police chief deployed more than 4000 officers on the streets and close shops where the march was meant to start a quarter of banning the protest over fears of violent demonstrations were allowed to go ahead in other cities including lead and now say. thousands of protesters also took the streets in london i'm sure there is paul ryan was there. the organizers of this march in london had hoped for between 10 and 20000 participants and it looks very much as though they've achieved that goal and this is one of more

than 30 marches taking place up and down the u.k. today saturday the point of this is anger and solidarity anger about the pictures that people have been seeing on the television screens for the past 2 weeks both as attention ramped up and occupied east jerusalem but also as the conflict has erupted on the part of the gaza border now what are they asking for what are they demanding what amount of action from the u.k. government that the u.k. government no longer deals trades and arms with israel. and that the essentially saying that everybody should take them to 6 activities happening in israel there are a pragmatic the people here and i've got to say it's a cross-section of population from very young to very old they've know that 1 march alone is not going to solve the middle east conflict but they say they stop they can't simply do nothing they have to express their solidarity with those people dying in gaza and in the west bank.
