yesterday and the people here are expecting or hope that all these meetings that have been run in the last few hours could come with a positive indication regarding the ditching a cease fire still the policy in factions also reduce the strength of their fire of their rockets that they have been fighting also towards israel hamas officials most will not assume he said that so far all the efforts for reaching the cease fire failed and in case there will be a cease fire it will be based on our conditions which means that. they have not the talks have not to reach the serious point that when they can start with. giving a cease fire or a long term cease fire we understand that they are talking and serious talks are ongoing but on the ground the strength of the fire the one who decides either out
12:07 am

they all the family in the basement. we sleep there together but they made it very very very frightening 6 israeli peace officers have been injured in a car ramming in occupied east jerusalem and the attack happened that's the neighborhood way israeli settlers are trying to expel forcibly for palestinian families who live there the driver was shot dead farrah fawcett has more from shaikh shara in occupied east jerusalem. the border security forces checkpoint has been placed here at the entrance to the road which is what been the scene of so many of the protesters so much of the tension here in occupied east jerusalem throughout the month of ramadan a car approached it it seems to do so at speed we've had witnesses 2 of them at least telling us that the driver appeared to shout a lot of akbar god is great as he approached the checkpoint and it rammed drove
12:09 am
straight into where the police were 6 of those officers were injured the police spokesman says 4 of them lightly to the moderately but it was a very violent impact and it looked to be potentially quite serious to say the least to be to the well being of those police officers as for the driver himself he was shot dead in the moments after the attack or these the moments after the impact has been as i say the center of. a long simmering protest which is really gathered pace in the last few weeks particularly on the basis of about 4 families who faced the imminent threat of forced removal from their homes it was part of the wider picture of tension throughout jerusalem which exploded on that last monday and now we have the violence which has been erupting throughout the area and on this day this afternoon that violence also felt very keenly here u.s.s.
12:10 am
told a u.n. security council meeting that it's ready to offer support if israel and hamas seek a cease fire but china has accused the biden and ministration of blocking a joint statement on the crisis the u.s. is israel's most powerful ally and said a statement might hurt negotiations behind the scenes and the actions of both hamas and israel were condemned at the virtual session with council members calling for dialogue. a palestinian foreign minister joined the meeting and back members of the council to think about their own children are considering how to protect palestinian children when you can brace your children and grandchildren to right live think of our children and of how you can honor those killed and those still alive think of what it feels to see your world crumbling down and not being able to protect them think of what it means to sleep not knowing
12:11 am
which one of you will wake up remember that each time israel hears a part a leader speak of its right to defend itself it is further emboldened to continue your murdering entire families in their sleep israel's permanent representative to the un accused us of course in the latest escalation for political gain this is not the 1st time that hamas has indiscriminately fire deadly missiles that israeli civilians while hiding behind a listing in civilian but this time it's different it was completely premeditated but by hamas in order to gain political power it was all a part of their vicious plan while hamas thinks the destruction of the state of israel it's also vying to big take power in the west bank and to replace the
12:12 am
palestinian authority. christian salumi has more from the united nations so this is the 1st time that the parties to the conflict israel and palestine got to be heard in international forum it's the 1st time that members of the security council got to make their views known publicly on the record again in this formal setting of the un security council the highest and most powerful body of the security council but no action was taken on the part of the security council as a body not even a statement was issued on behalf of the council despite efforts by norway china and tunisia to write one we're told that they are continuing with those efforts the united states has blocked efforts at a unified statement much to the frustration of many member states earlier in the
12:13 am
week they told al-jazeera and other council members behind the scenes that they were giving space for diplomacy to work behind the scenes at the highest levels they wanted to see an escalation of violence and thought that was the best way to achieve that of course the violence has only continued and so in the end the united states relented allowed this meeting to take place and spoke before it with the united states calling for an end to the cycle of violence prolonging this current cycle of violence will only make these challenges more complex and difficult to stall and will only put a negotiated 2 state solution further out of our reach so the current cycle of violence must end it is critical all parties to working in good faith toward the bijan of israel and palestinian state living side by side in peace.
12:14 am
for more on the response at the united nations we're joined by geraldine naismith they are a sham buster to the u.n. live via skype from new york thanks very much indeed for taking the time to talk to us or not is here i want to ask you whether you were disappointed that the u.n. security council isn't able to act in a not even able to come up with a unified statement on this well yes through disappointed that we didn't today speak and here and unified voice this is the 3rd time we have met to discuss this ongoing crisis a crisis that just escalates the death toll rising as we've heard again today no real sign of a cease fire so are an end to the irish foreign minister simon coleman today called for an urgent action we believe the security council is the body that not needs to assume its responsibility it's a collective responsibility we have as the guardians of international peace and security so yes we are working hard we would like that statement we would like the
12:15 am
support of the security council to be seen and heard by all of those affected by prices and given that president biden talked to region about wanting to reestablish a values based foreign policy for the u.s. why do you think the u.s. is resisting you know calling openly for a cease fire. i think this is a collective responsibility that all of us share at the security council we know that the united states is a very powerful and influential player in this discussion but we today we heard from 2 actors in the region from egypt and from jordan both of them are working behind the scenes also my own foreign minister tired to see you during the week so i think that will be a cut and active effort that will see us move forward here an end to hostilities a deescalation of course i don't follow and protection of civilians and if i may say that today the irish minister also stressed we're deeply concerned about the
12:16 am
humanitarian situation on the ground so we've heard that in your camp even from the u.s. ambassador today and emphasis on the ordinary people who are bearing the brunt of this crisis secretary general of the u.n. coldest risking and uncontainable humanitarian crisis so we're working really hard behind the scenes to see if we can get the collective ways of the security council behind that sort of message to create the political space on the ground for a diplomatic solution you talk about the collective way to the u.n. but he also has alluded to the fact that the u.s. is a big player in this do you think the u.s. should be sending someone more senior to the region to emphasize the need for bringing that the conflict to some kind of resolution do you think that it's an incipient reaction so far that they've had to this. i think that we're all trying to do our best and the starcom stance the united states makes its own decisions of bias and of course it 10 voice at the irish government is working hard to as we are
12:17 am
at the security council to encourage all members at the table to take initiative we know these are complex issues this is not a crisis and that was born today my own minister said it's the nation's to in a tragic cycle that chain's us all and he ate the blame at the door of the color active in our shop the international community and i think that we need at collectively again to assume our responsibility and i don't think that the international community will understand if the security council looks the other way or stand by as this crisis is ongoing i know the secretary general is very very active as i said my own government is and we've heard from the united states also that there envoy on the ground just working so i think that we need really to ensure that the security council rallies now sends
12:18 am
a clear and to unified message from the discussion today and then that we see very quickly a ceasefire which is absolutely critical and that we see humanitarian access unimpeded humanitarian access for the humanitarian workers on the ground particular being gassed up but across the occupied palestinian territories where there are of course hundreds dead scores and scores of people injured and a need to for urgent humanitarian assistance just when all she could if it's if this isn't result not just the outbreak of violence now but the causes behind it what you think the risks all for the region. this is not good news for the region let's be clear and the longer the violence goes on the further we are getting to the table and finding out to go see a pathway to a choice 2 state solution are than to has always said we see that as the only sustainable way forward that israel and palestine can live side by side in
12:19 am
dignity and in peace and to get there we need the hostilities to end we need to see respect for the protection of civilians respect for international humanitarian law which is critical for the protection of civilians and get back to the negotiation table we see the solution and it 2 state solution precinct's the 7 borders with jerusalem as the capital of both states and we see that as the only sustainable pathway forward i must a nation thank you very much indeed for talking to us on jazeera thank you when it enable him is in ramallah on the occupied west bank she says palestinians there had little interest in the u.n. meeting. we've seen less protests on sunday than the ones we've been seeing over the past few days in different cities in the occupied west bank but palestinians are still laying their loved ones to rest there are 4 funerals that took place in

has told the un security council is ready to offer support if israel and hamas seek a cease fire the actions of both hamas and israel are condemned at a virtual session but the u.s. put off to a joint statement saying it might hurt negotiations behind the scenes. in the past week more than a quarter of those killed in gaza have been children. he was struck by shrapnel from an israeli missile in gaza's should neighborhood on tuesday he was just 12 years old and died the next day and 2 boys from the same family had a were killed by strikes from an israeli helicopter on the village of caria the cousins were $10.13 which recently is a country director at save the children palestine he joins us via skype from occupied east jerusalem so just a couple of examples there of some of the children who've lost their lives and that the death toll for children keeps on rising doesn't it. well it's absolutely horrific i mean out of the 198 people that have been killed in gaza city 8 of them
12:32 am
have been children and not only that there is when you look at the numbers of people being injured we have a staggering number that since the start of this conflict on the 14th of may we have an average 3 children being injured every single hour and these are lifelong injuries and many of these children were dead a scar and lot of physical disability but also really critical talaga mental health the rest of their arms and you mentioned those numbers injured what how the hospitals coping with these kind of injuries and. i mean you've got a hospital system that has struggled to function with the blockade you have a situation now with the electricity supply is running out because of the fuel supplies are running low or you have a situation now where you've got 38000 people that are innocent themes shot in in in the schools and those are good before the escalation the competent fronting it
12:33 am
was an ongoing good 19 endemic so if you can imagine the situation of people being overcrowded and hospitals not having access to electricity water water or sanitation. with an ongoing kogut 19 endemic with lots of injured children coming in there would be single day it's no wonder we have a staggering devastation and injuries and deaths that we're seeing tell me about the families who've lost their homes because clearly many people have died but also people remain homeless and they will what what kind of provision is there for them . i mean these are many people have had to flee their homes that the last minute and with barely just the clothes on the back and the ability maybe to very very critical documents they need my own teams have been affected i have several team members that are. left their arms and i know sheltering him very short as well with other family members these people have nothing they have no idea where the next
12:34 am
meal is coming from where they're going to sleep how are they going to get medicine for the children in a city or how do they protect themselves and their families from coping 19 tell me about the. impact on mental health the children what sort of experience do you have in this this clearly has happened in the past and what are the kind of things that can help to make it less awful for them. when i can relate a story that i was told to me by my teams or not speaking to them i mean they're always the very scared and feeling for their children and they see the changes in behavior of their children the children are fearful they no longer want to play they're always looking at the window wondering what's going to happen and most parents are trying to grave face and lying to children saying everything's ok telling the children that the airstrikes are fireworks but why are. we any parent
12:35 am
say to the child if the child asks will we still have a home tomorrow will i still be here tomorrow what do you say i mean what can you say this is the impact that we having on trying to amend it is manhattan model that children witnessed and experienced the horrible devastation and destruction of war and just think that this is normal this is what we're doing to try to. and you speak very powerfully of the situation for children and parents in gaza how difficult is it for your teams to carry out any kind of help i mean that the you mention that some of them are having to run from that for their for their own lives are you able to to provide help at the moment. at the moment it is impossible because of the ongoing fighting in gaza this is why it is imperative person bombers that use an immediate cease fire that means that israel
12:36 am
has to stop yes strike and the incursions into gaza hamas has to start rockets and all sides have to take immediate immediate steps to protect civilians to safeguard the safety of the lives of civilians and to ensure that every safe and had to and under strict access to humanitarians and to deliver life saving systems this is what we need to go immediately jason lee from save the children palestine thank you very much indeed for talking to us on syria thank you process has called the spiraling violence unacceptable the head of the roman catholic church prayed for peace during his sunday best saying in the vatican. romero suppose so and so really masterfully numerous people have been injured and many innocent people have died among them are also children this is terrible unacceptable that death is a sign that people don't want to build
