5:02 pm
bones and medical services are being inundated it's a hairy force it's joins us now from occupied east jerusalem harry just bring us up to speed on what the latest developments are. but i can tell you what's been happening inside israel there has been. a large barrage in the last hour or so rocket fire coming out from inside gaza again a very sustained one which struck the area around ashdod and ashkelon closer to gaza as well and to the east and brush over there was imagery on online of a direct hit in ashkelon a number of cars destroyed but no reports of any injuries on the political front we're waiting in the next couple of minutes to hear a statement from the prime minister benjamin netanyahu the defense minister benny gantz and the chief of the army chief harvey they are due to speak from the military h.q. in tel aviv as
5:03 pm
a so in the next couple of minutes we've already had the security cabinet meeting earlier on sunday and that was reported on the way in from a number of serious israeli journalists as potentially discussing the idea of approaching a cease fire they broke up that recently and then there were widespread reports that no in fact there's been no discussion whatsoever of a ceasefire during that security cabinet meeting that there had been instead an agreement to carry on with the military plans as they stood unless there was an intervention and a different decision from the prime minister or the defense minister. that's the political aspect to harry what about the wider situation within israel because the insecure mean or violence that's broken out in communities between israelis has been quite a concern has it not of the been any developments there. and you mentioned you are
5:04 pm
. just hearing right now from my colleagues just as you're asking that question so apologies if i don't answer it directly but. your are not far from where we are we're getting initial reports that a car has attacked the police or border security checkpoint at the entrance to that road that's correct right and that is obviously a central element that street to what we've been seeing since the month of ramadan there have been consistent protests and skirmishes and indeed some serious violence there with people campaigning against the potential forced expulsion of residents of those palestinian residents of those homes there due to an appeal by a jewish organization that it has ownership preexisting the creation of the state of israel in 1908 well what we've seen is an increased crackdown on that space in terms of entry and exit we witnessed that a couple of nights ago only journalists with government press office cars being
5:05 pm
allowed in as of today other palestinian journalists have been refused access now we're getting reports of a car crashing into that police area we're getting those very initial reports we had to bring you more on that soon. harry fawcett they're bringing us the very latest from occupied east jerusalem harry thank you very much indeed let's head back into gaza i we can speak now to you not science as she is palestinian journalist in gaza resident you're in there just tell us where you are right now and what's been happening. we're still here at the hospital just very short while ago 5 more bodies were brought out of the rubble of the street or in the neighborhood. fortunately all of them mother with her 2 children and older. woman and.
5:06 pm
so this just adds to the death toll of the people who have been brought out of the rubble until this moment until this moment also that the civil defense crews and emergency crews are still trying to get and find other people whether survivors or people who have been lost under the rubble the resources the lack of resources for the civil defense and emergency crews in the gaza strip it's causing a great challenge and difficulty for them to be able to bring out the bodies and it's taking them a very long time because of the usual severe infrastructure that has been severely targeted and damaged reaching to to these areas and from these areas to the hospitals and this is where it's taking them very very long time to get there and to to actually try to save any of the people it's been
5:07 pm
a very long time now since the targeting and the health health. health members are saying that even if they do find people doubt it's going to be very hard for them to be alive but we're still hoping that they can get out more bodies soon and you know you are sort of hospital as you mentioned there the odd sheaffer hospital. obviously you go so it's a difficult place at the best of times with over the bombardment going on those civilian deaths that keep racking know this was pretty enormous strain on the medical facilities within gaza so give us a sense of what it's like inside that hospital do they have enough medicines to keep treating people. i mean a shifa hospital are complex actually because it's the it's the big hospital or
5:08 pm
it's the largest hospital here in the gaza strip it's called the complex we have seen in every every administration office in every reception we have medical beds and patients now in these places. because of the lack of space inside the rooms of the hospital also the corydoras have to have beds and even mattresses on the ground. to take more patients in light of the great number of injuries and when did that are coming every now and then not just from the massacre that happened in the way the streets but because at the end tire strip is still under bombardment and direct targeting different buildings are being targeted every now and then so every every now and then we have an ambulance coming in with either one or march people so the medical crews are extremely exhausted with losing all their resources require medical requirements
5:09 pm
and resources and have been calling out for emergency helps for extra resources because they are almost in a state of collapse with with what is going on and the aggression still going on and them running out usually out of resources also the targeting of medical. facilities like what happened in the dead is center that was targeted by 2 reconnaissance missiles this is adding even more and more pressure to the situation i mean if if hospitals and medical centers are not the safe place for civilians then when other place is i mean we've witnessed the targeting of media offices and . all governmental buildings and civilians. civilian buildings because
5:10 pm
of what israel has been claiming the having any of hamas members or intelligence members that they where attacking but now even hospitals being targeted this is this is just alarming situation that needs a direct and it's. soo much. power city journal reporting from outside that hospice oh thank you very much indeed for that update i think russia just serves the residents of gaza where she's a seizure and a mother of 5 she describes the trauma her kids are going through a mother of 5 and each minute i hear a bombing or an airstrike i just look around me and just look from my kids are they all safe i can't can i see them all i don't worry about myself whatsoever i'm
5:11 pm
worried about my kids it's not about me anymore. i just. they're not. they're not coping actually they're terrified of the time they're just listening carefully if it's going to be any good they just afraid to close their eyes that the night they don't want to sleep i struggle every single night to put them in their beds they don't want to go to sleep because they know once they close their eyes something bad will happen they will wake up panicked listening to those airstrikes and they will never come back to school again as a mother i just don't know how to deal with this. well that's the situation inside gaza as we speak we understand that the u.n. security council is going to is holding a meeting. let's cross overnight to kristen salumi she's live at the u.n.
5:12 pm
chris in that meeting as started now i want kind of thing are you going to be listening out for. the meeting has just gotten underway this is the 3rd meeting that the security council has held in just the last 6 days but it is the 1st one to be open and on the record with many countries signed up to speak and express their concerns about the ongoing violence in the region secretary general antonio terraces now speaking perhaps we want to go to have to. jump in there chris and this is until you get terrorists as speaking about security council meeting. your theory is that that part of the policy going forward that it was in gaza and shop and also lost about the places we needed that it sets.
5:13 pm
