last point credible real all we've done is block out the money from the room and then allow it to come through disputable reserved one of science in a golden age on al-jazeera. israeli airstrikes continue into the night after a day of heavy gaza bombardment hitting homes clinics and government buildings. in jordan this is our jazeera live from doha with continuing coverage of the israel palestine conflict now in its 2nd week international diplomatic efforts are yet to make much headway u.s.

president joe biden spoke with israel's binyamin netanyahu and expressed his support for a cease fire plus. deal with. the emotional and physical scars for so many children as their world crumbles around them in gaza. plus a side clone forces hundreds of thousands from their homes in western india and makes the fight against current virus even tougher. welcome to the program the conflict between israel and hamas has gone into a 2nd week as mounting airstrikes push the death toll past 200 mostly palestinians in gaza there's no end in sight to the carnage for gaza's 2000000 residents with diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire all but stalked. well this was the gaza skyline in the past few hours a huge explosion from an israeli airstrike had been about 30 during the night and

also bursts of palestinian rocket fire. early on monday israel destroyed a building that housed gaza's religious affairs ministry and killed a senior commander of islamic jihad 15 kilometers of hamas' tunnels were also targeted and there was severe damage to qatar's red crescent office in central gaza where 212 palestinians have been killed in the conflict and more than 1400 people are injured hospitals in gaza are overwhelmed and running low on critical supplies some people are being sent across the border to egypt for treatment there are severe shortages of electricity and water and palestinian armed groups of 5 more rockets from gaza into southern israel injuring 17 people that residential towns were struck in the cities of ashdod and better shiva sending people running to nearby bomb shelters more than $3000.00 rockets have been fired towards israel many

were intercepted by israel's air defense system and hundreds of foreign inside gaza at least 10 israelis have been killed since the conflict began where u.s. president joe biden has expressed support for a cease fire during his latest call with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu biden is under growing pressure from members of his own party who accuse him of ignoring the plight of palestinian civilians john hendren reports now from washington d.c. . after continued israeli strikes on gaza and persistent pressure from his fellow democrats president biden is now calling for a cease fire in a phone call with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu the white house says in his statement the president expressed his support for a cease fire democratic congresswoman ileana omar one of the most persistent critics of the president from within his own party tweeted finally our delay in supporting a cease fire has caused the slaughter of children and destruction of lives now biden has to push for an end to the occupation the white house press secretary has

been insisting the biden administration is engaged in why it diplomacy to end the conflict and reduce palestinian and israeli casualties the president we are making all of our decisions through is how can we help bring an end to the violence and bring an end to deescalate the situation on the ground in march president biden's own secretary of state promised to make human rights the foundation of american foreign policy and the by paris of ministration will stand against human rights abuses wherever they occur regardless of whether the perpetrators are adversaries or partners. critics argue the rights of palestinians who make up the overwhelming number of civilian deaths and injuries in the current conflict are being ignored and biden has failed to roll back most of his predecessor's pro israel policies that he once called destructive the u.s. embassy remains in jerusalem biden has not overturn president trumps recognition of

israel's sovereignty over the occupied golan heights foreign policy has also avoided condemning forced expulsions of palestinians from their homes so far it is a it's a dramatic failure the main reason for that is that the administration was taken by surprise they did not expect this to happen. it's partly a self-inflicted wound biden maintains both israelis and palestinians are entitled to safety and security in equal measure that's why some members of congress are questioning reports of a recent one sided arms deal 735 $1000000.00 in new weapons to israel some lawmakers argue the sale should be halted until israel stops its military campaign biden has consistently defended israel's right to defend itself and he has repeatedly criticized the hamas rockets raining down on israeli soil at one point saying the israeli assault was not disproportionate but there have been days of air attacks since then. now israelis and palestinians alike wait to see if the american

president's call for a cease fire will actually make a difference john hendren washington. public overwhelmingly support the. there is a poll that i just saw on one of the news websites that indicates that only 9 percent of the israelis. want to stop this operation or war 70 percent will support the government until they destroy hamas this is the answer 21 percent say that they want it to continue until hamas will beg us for a cease fire so when it comes to public support the government has got free ride the only as get full support if you listen to

israeli commentators on the mainstream media on national channels the message is we have now it is different must be different than it was in 20142012 now it's about television it's not just the saudis and we can't afford it to happen again so this must be the last operation protest against israel's actions are gathering momentum around the world hundreds not in argentina's capital towards the israeli embassy but police prevented them from reaching the building in bonn as iris last week argentina's foreign ministry announced what it called israel's disproportionate use of force. i'm thousands of yemenis have gathered to show their support for the palestinians there demanding israel stop its attacks on gaza and are also calling for a boycott of israeli and american goods who the rebels who are allied with hamas

calls for the demonstration protesters also burned israeli flags while chanting against the u.s. and israel after we have been asked many are covering your insanity. and the palestinian issue is a humanitarian political and essential issue for arab and islamic nations and therefore it is right must be supported by people in all countries of the world so our message is to stand in support of the palestinian cause and its resistance in gaza. where there's been another airstrike just moments ago in gaza these are the latest pictures from there. and at least 61 palestinian children have been killed since this conflict began many others have been injured or have lost parents and other relatives katella reports on the growing emotional and physical toll for young people. for

7 hours 6 year old suzy was trapped under piles of rubble. her home was hit by an israeli air strike in gaza her mother and 4 siblings died. and hospital she reunites with her father a budget they hold hands facing a new life without their family that is that it up when. i was filled with all the anger of the universe but when i heard that one of my daughters was alive i said thank god because this girl might capture some even a little of my other daughter smile. there's not much room for innocence in gaza play time with their new toys is cut short for the sisters when the sounds of fighting come too close for comfort heavy heavy heavy heavy heart attack that no doubt that their father achmad muncy made you tube videos that were widely shared on social media to distract his kids from the violence the days after this recording he died in an airstrike oh this boy lost his

home. he holds back tears trying to recover some of his belongings. that i made of the wreckage a moment of joy for these children who managed to save their pet fish but experts fear these fleeting moments of happiness may soon be replaced by a long term trauma my older girl she's 70 years old she looked at me and said does god really feel what we are feeling now and of course i answered the head but i started thinking what is the mental state and the wind motion instead that she's going through at this point to be asking such a. cyst such an existential question the depths of loss can be overwhelming especially for children. you know would still. i get. i'm not really that much i get i do anything i feel i don't know what to feel just

. as bomb strike nearby and this girl praise her repeated recitation is an attempt to drown out the sound of explosions. doctors say suzy will recover from her physical injuries but it's the invisible emotional scars that may require long term attention to love the civilian targets here when they're about home as a humanitarian worker rights advocate in the roughest southern gaza she says they're constantly on the run from air raids there's actually no safe place in the whole gaza strip the only thing you can do and what we are doing the minute the think this is collision started that that started we stayed home the only thing we can do is to stay home and if you are targeted what you can do is to be saved is to stay away from the airstrikes happened and it means you have to jump from one area to another and it's almost like airstrikes are chasing everywhere so you can't do

anything but run away this is the only way you try to be the closest to being safe in gaza and it's always not the same and some people who have been affected directly and more than other people would go if they lost their house of the area starved the more they would go to a school another place that is not shipped up. again they can go to this additional difficulty is in addition to a lot of the same difficulties we have living for decades we are preserved and we receive in my house our own 4 hours of electricity and you have to run to make sure that your you are running or your house or household tasks to make sure that you are addressing your needs for example we need electricity to pump water to our water tanks and without that you can't do so it's really a difficult situation and it adds to your feeling for horror because we need to have no electricity sometimes means you have no internet and this is how you are disconnected and this is how you fear more what is happening because you can't

anticipate what is happening unless it happens in front of your eyes. lots more sort of coming on al-jazeera including hong kong's local government is again mchugh's just stifling press freedoms and after being locked down and locked out for months britons are finally allowed to go back inside pubs and restaurants marna stay with us. for. now this is looking like spring and probably feeling like spring the vast number of big shows sort of form in the southern plains and moves slowly east was there has been a concentration in texas recently one think the next 2 or 3 days there will still be a concentration of big showers in texas including dallas has been flooding as a result a lot extends right up through the great lakes almost into the eastern side of campus certainly into on teria it's warm with it the temperature winnipeg's at $25.00 it's warm on the east coast $31.00 in d.c.
