minute i receive a call from everywhere from a friend from relatives from neighbors that asking on a chicken checking about areas that have been to have been evacuated many people have been receiving phone calls to evacuate their home. just next year of 3400 meters from where we are seeing. big compound people or a crowd of people leaving their homes because they're one of the neighbors of the sea the phone call evacuees are had this experience also this morning when 3 of my neighbors were informed to evacuate because the israelis are going to bomb their ouse but until now they have not been bar that their house same everywhere in many areas in many places it's people are panicking are very much afraid. lots of friends in the streets in my way also while i was coming here and they were all 'd evacuating they were all needing trying to find alternative apart from the

thousands of people who had to leave their homes near the border and stay in the school. i could see the panic everywhere i could see lots of people in the streets lots of people deployed leaving their homes because of these warnings still not clear either very these homes are going to be bombed or not but this is the situation now in gaza adding to the foreign policy as well today have been killed by the different israeli air strikes we could we could realize we could understand that. this far if all this morning if the people who are leaving and evacuating the hall but there are of the fire of today is list than the days before this there's collation we can say that. today is. the days before the so far that they have not targeted residential buildings like it happened in the previous

days last night was. intensive but there israel is concerned and also here they confirmed that the targets were military bases police stations 1 israel said that the targeted intelligence. bases the building belong to hamas islamic jihad or other fighting groups. we are now waiting to see what the fighting groups are going to do in response to this chaotic situation. the military wing of hamas said. keep belittling the residential buildings means that you will keep it in the coming hours very important to decide that there will be more as collusion or not ok many thanks for that update. bringing us up to date with the very latest from gaza. we can also take you to west jerusalem where harry

force that is live in that what what is the latest from israel today. well as we were just hearing from software at the end there are people waiting to see what is going to happen with this warning this latest warning from hamas that if there are further attacks on residential buildings there will be further attacks in the center of israel so far during the course of the day we haven't seen that to the same extent as we have in the last week most of the rocket fire and there has been a good deal of it just in the last couple of minutes more alerts coming through about rocket attacks in the containment zone as it's called around gaza up to ashdod on the coast but so far the center of the country these these very concentrated very heavy rounds of rocket fire they haven't happened so far during the course of the day what we're also hearing on the political front is that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu is convening a meeting with his senior security and defense officials including the defense

minister the head of the army the head of the internal security agency as national security council as well this evening it's the end now of the jewish holiday a shovel what so what has been a relatively quiet day on the political front looks like it might be ramping up again so far no public talk about any approach towards a cease fire from the israeli side at least we have had a tweet from the u.s. national security advisor saying that the united states continues to work quietly but determinedly behind the scenes that he's had talks both with his or israeli counterparts and with the egyptians as well as for the other side of all of this the conflagration of racial violence that we've seen in the country in last few days again that seems to be calming somewhat but some sad news earlier in the day one man a jewish man who was attacked by a group of palestinian israelis after a palestinian israeli had been killed the night before he has died in hospital

about a week after that attack. many thanks for that all correspond harry force at the 1st in west jerusalem well howie talks a bit about the diplomatic efforts to bring about some and to this crisis let's get more from our correspondent in wrong tom on that. with neither side backing down israeli and palestinian officials are using tough language that presents a problem for a diplomatic solution on sunday the u.n. security council was reportedly unable to issue a statement due to a u.s. veto it's the 3rd time that has happened this week one person involved in the talks told out is there that egypt jordan the u.n. and others are all pushing for a breakthrough but it's unlikely anything that happened in the immediate future in ramallah palestinian prime minister spoke to reporters urging the u.n. to act and asking friendly countries to withdraw ambassadors from israel i would.

rank new speaking enough. to have declarations. that they must be. described. again as. in the must mean there again as well. but with no breakthrough the u.s. has reiterated its position with the secretary of state and to me blinken insisting israel has a right to defend itself palestinian politicians say this isn't self-defense if you ask the residents of gaza they would say what the remains to be done is to drop a nuclear bomb into gods the amount of attacks the scale of before cities the amount of ammunition that's being deposed is beyond belief beyond imagination but

there's israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu issued a warning to a mass we're trying to degrade hamas as term stability and to degrade their will to do this again but with no breakthrough in diplomacy the conflict has carried on the question now is not whether all parties involved can get diplomacy back on truck but whether there's even a hope for a long term diplomatic solution in iraq come out of there drew slim or us secretary of state anthony blinken says he has not seen intelligence from israel that shows hamas was using the tower housing media including al-jazeera that was destroyed in gaza on saturday israel has a special responsibility to protect civilians in the course of its self-defense and that most certainly includes journalists. you said that you requested additional information have you received it have you seen it and did you find it credible i

have not seen any information provided and again to the extent that it is based on intelligence that would have been shared with other colleagues and i'll leave that to them to assess. that's a tall white house correspondent kelly how much pressure is the u.s. president biden actually onda to make sure to do something about the ongoing conflict and to bring it to an end. well he's under growing pressure from a number of americans including within his own democratic party in fact we may see some of that evidence in the white house briefing that is set to begin any moment with the white house press secretary jens psaki the questions from reporters have become more pointed and critical of the biden administration's policy particularly given the fact that you'll remember in the early days of this of ministration that the secretary of state entity blinken said that human rights would be the foundation of foreign policy for the u.s.

president in fact anti blinken saying the president biden is committed to putting human rights back at the center of american foreign policy standing up for human rights everywhere he said what's in america's interest so the question has become from not just democratic members in the house of representatives but also now in the u.s. senate 28 senators democratic senators sending a letter saying that they're calling for an immediate ceasefire and the question has really become one of proportion the u.s. continues to say that israel has a right to defend itself but they will not extend that same statement when it comes to palestinians further they have condemned the rocket attacks by hamas but they refused to condemn the actions in occupied east jerusalem so this is the concern that so many have in the united states not just in congress but others as well that there seems to be this vocalisation of equality for israeli and palestinians yet

the administration's own policies seem to reflect mass inequality one that joe biden on the campaign trail pumice promise to combat. many thanks for that can be hope for us in washington. well people in gaza are taking shelter wherever they can to avoid the israeli bombardment al-jazeera is correspondent why is that do has this report from a school where many have been taking refuge at the saudi women at the saudi hundreds of missiles have been used and destroyed numerous houses some of these houses were destroyed all the families were inside this classroom was changed to be a refuge for these families in our toucher district here we can find all people and children as well young men prefer to stay outside these classrooms that we came here to shed some light on this grieving family. of hello what is your name i mean i mean you know a lot about. what is your story. there in the

lower we were shocked when they demolished the house of my daughter while she and her children were inside we did not manage to rescue the whole family her father is a member of a rescue team but he could not save his daughter we call the ambulance and everyone who can help but they could not arrive on time we all were in shock because of the demolition and we couldn't do anything but come barefoot to the school may god punish them for killing my daughter and her children. and i've been. so your daughter and her children lost their lives for the murder. yes the house was demolished and they were inside they didn't give any warning. it was the house was doing militants or people like that. what i had said while at the edges of no definitely not there were no militants at all inside the house even her husband was not a member of any faction they just demolished the house with herself her husband and

their children there's nothing we can do god will punish the aggressors they killed my daughter and her children they killed innocent children who are not guilty at all her husband and her brother in law were not members of any faction god will punish them for killing innocent people they didn't even give them a warning before demolishing the house. they didn't even give her a chance to take her children leave the house 3 floors have been demolished over my innocent daughter and her children god will punish israel yes i lost my daughter and her children but they are not more precious than the resistance god will punish netanyahu god will punish israel. earlier we spoke to methe air here is the director general of the un humanitarian aid agency for palestinian refugees and he says the israeli bombardment this hitting very close to their facilities. we now have more than 50 children dead and killed among them 18 children that went to our

would run schools that for me is just an unacceptable price that the civilian population is paying and indeed we have seen several buildings taken down in which civilians lived and so yes in most cases they were warned to evacuate those buildings but we now have i believe at latest count at least 5000 people without a home so that's a 2nd price to pay and then the 3rd $1.00 is we are here in one of our installations people are scared they are terrified this is experienced as terror from the skies and people are increasingly leaving their homes we now have more than 41000 people in 50 schools and it would be of grave concern if any of these installations were directly hit so the priority we are into the 3rd day of having people in our installations like this the priority so far has been to make them safe and what that means is number one that there are no unexploded devices lying around number 2 we're still in covert times you know we've had to make sure that we

have protective equipment and p.p.a. for them and now we have been starting to look since yesterday at what to do in terms of basic needs like water we have half of our installations kids it out for a situation like this with solar energy and water supplies and sanitary facilities but half are not and we are racing against time now to try and meet these basic needs obviously we will have to have the border open at some point to bring in supplies for the moment we are ok but there will be critical supply needs in the next few days i must say during this current war the conversations have been difficult in my understanding i wasn't here but in 2014 we much more early on had humanitarian corridors you know where there was a lot in the fighting and we could move to instill a. sins bring material and so on so far in day 7 or 8 of these they have not

granted that they've also not granted us to bring in and out people are going to so it's it's at the moment it's very difficult conversations a big important part also is that they are striking very close to our installations my main office complex is c.v.s. damaged in parts of the because the strikes with very close to it and so an understanding we had in the past that they would also be set to keep some distance in there striking from our installations is just not being respected sufficiently. still ahead on al-jazeera a step towards normality as coronavirus restrictions are eased across much of the united kingdom. it's time for the perfect gentlemen. sponsored play qatar airways.

the so-called indian variant considered way more contagious albeit they don't know quite how much more contagious now it's present in localized clusters in various parts of england there are containment measures in place but the real concern is that this reopening provokes a 3rd wave of infections particularly if that but very very and is able to escape those localised clusters and it would put at risk this time the very young and those unvaccinated all those who have decided for whatever reason not to be vaccinated so some cause for concern there the prime minister boris johnson warning people on monday morning to you know go out and enjoy these newfound freedoms again but to do so he said with a heavy dose of caution in other words don't enjoy it all too much. the u.s. supreme court has agreed to take on a case by the state of mississippi to limit abortions the republican led state wants to enact a law banning the procedure after 15 weeks like her has more on the story from
