a team of correspondents standing by with the latest developments on can is at ashkelon near a crossing into gaza that israel has reopened in aid supplies. to standing by in gaza itself 1st of those had city to she's in ramallah in the occupied west bank a widespread protests are taking place. so i need a general strike well underway what's happening right now. so protesters have gathered near us here at the menorah square and ramallah where they've been chanting slogans hearing national songs and we're seeing little of them now because many have roots went to the confrontation points with the israeli army one of the locations we are talking about is near the illegal israeli settlement of bet there is a building over there that for many palestinians it's rip it represents the israeli

occupation because it's houses the coal got to which is the civil administration which is the israeli body that is responsible for running the affairs of palestinians and for them it controls every aspect of their lives and this is one of the reasons why palestinians want to protest not just because of the occupation in the story not just because of what's happening in gaza but also because of the continuous occupation we're joined here by mr i as the he's an anthropologist and you have been participating in the protest and also every almost everyone we've been speaking to believes that these protests this day the general strike is different why is a different i mean. let's think about it i mean for us. it's an event that transcend it's gone beyond the. fragmentation that was imposed on palestinians since 1988 with basically dividing and fragmented in 2 different.

social groups and different. all different administratively different. different kind of different modality of control that colonial. system and palestine is. imposed on them so therefore this time is i mean think about palestinians from. from from 48 and that was in the thirty's and 67 and participating in one general strike it's a unifying moment for the better seen as kind of going back to the roots of the of the of the struggle of the palestinians into the moment that we have a settler colonial project that aims to destroy but a senior. international nation.

people kind of. food. over the of the struggle and i've seen you with your 9 year old and 5 year old children you're here with your family what does participation mean to you and your children very. have to think about it's not only a political. coming to the demonstration it's. position to take. as a palestinian and as a human i mean it's fighting the injustices that's that's going on and palestine in every setting and palestine and therefore. i mean symbolically at being part of our. struggle against. it's actually an ethical responsibility that. also might actually my kids wanted to participate. the same as i want to participate there that's the that's the case and i think it's. everybody here and iran and palestine are in the

same and the same situation and participating with their part maybe it's. as again . we're trying to. raise our voices speaking truth to power in that use the. eclipse shaped phrase but it's it's a system but the reality that we are living in and we want to put it simply thank you so much missed that island as a reason i'm through apologist and he was joining us he hadn't done a lot so many palestinians were talking about what mr i was just mentioning about the sense of unity they feel that this is the 1st time in decades that palestinians are united not just the ones who are here in the occupied west bank or those in the besieged gaza strip are also there joined now by palestinians in israel ok neither abraham that live from ramallah thanks very much for that as well protests against israel's actions are gathering momentum around the world libyans are taking part in

global solidarity rallies for palestine hundreds of students as well as capital residents a gathered in front of tripoli's universes say this time. their demands an immediate end to israeli violence in the force expulsion off palestinians from their ancestral homes hundreds to have been gathering in cities in china's year despite a recent houla virus locks in china's ians are calling on arab nations to reject their normalize ation of relations with israel morocco sudan the united arab emirates and bahrain have all forged corso ties with israel last year rallies in support of palestine have extended to south america 100 said the streets in argentina's capital crowds marched towards the israeli embassy in a siamese but prevents it demonstrates is reaching the building last week argentina's foreign ministry denies what it called israel's disproportionate use of

force. willis head back into gaza now we can speak to you messiah choose a palestinian journalist ambassador of the own grave joins us from kansas made whole space so just ferguson with the situation in gone so the. high. shifa hospital until now the ministry of health has announced that it has received 212 people who have died from like adding to the raids that have been going on last night the hospital here we have a conference going on right now and shortly another conference for the ministry of health is calling out for the emergency appeal for because he used an accurate shortage in medical supplies and medicines that it is going through now and also still calling for volunteers who can provide blood to the blood banks

because of the great amount of shortage in blood and medications and in medical supplies the situation is not getting any better. border was israel has allowed to open the care but was salim border and today morning to abby allowances that were sent from turkey one has medications and the other some medical supplies some medical supplies were allowed to enter in addition to gas because of the amount of. the amount of emergency that is rising in the hospitals especially in the shifa complex considering that it is that he the hugest hospital here in the gaza strip and the outages the electricity outages that have been going on in the past days and that have caused also water outages in the hospital and around different areas in the strip. ok you know. has the latest tonight said

i'll see if a hospital thank you. i would just show you quickly some pictures now all of that process that own going in ramallah reminds of course of years that a general strike has been called. significant numbers gathering there in the occupied west bank he looks like some tires have been burnt something along those lines lots of protest sites. will keep a close eye on those pictures for you bring you the very latest of course as it develops for now though let's head to southern israel imran khan is life or is there an emraan we understand that a huge manatee harry and co router has now been opens allowing medical supplies and other humanitarian aid to enter gaza one more can you tell us. well i can tell you though there was a lot of confusion in the early hours of the morning as to whether the border

crossing was going to open the israeli army at one point was saying we're not going to open the border and then again a few hours later there were discussions as to whether the border it was going to be open that we're hearing that at least a few trucks have managed to go through kerem. which is just down that way we're at a junction here on the border with gaza the trucks are going to come through here and now we're hearing that the united nations is taking in supplies is taking in fuel it's also going to be taking in some security staff and also on the way out they going to be evacuating non essential stuff we're also hearing that a lot of these trucks are going to be carrying aid not just for the united nations but for medicine some front for the world health organization and for other aid organizations like you had my colleague there. in gaza talking about the dire situation the need for medicines well whether the stroke. going to provide enough

medicines remains to be seen this is very much a negotiation to get these trucks in to gaza now let me just give you an idea of where i am i'm just going to move out the way the camera ever so slightly that's gaza over there beyond those hills but mile and a half way in the last 25 minutes or so we have seen rockets being launched from the iron dome defense system that's the israeli rocket defense system was activated and you saw these kind of puffs of clouds of smoke where those rockets some of the rockets were incepted now whether that's having an effect on whether these trucks can go in or out of gaza qana remains to be seen we're not entirely sure but right now we are expecting some aid to go in but clearly given the situation the pitches on the ground and the reporting from gaza whether that's going to be anough or not remains to be seen but i don't think according to all of the reporting that we've

seen that this convoy today is going to satisfy the needs of the gazan people but it's a start ok thank you very much indeed imran khan joining us there from the israel board so well let's find out if those convoys will indeed be enough we can speak now it's very he's the media advisor for the middle east with the norwegian refugee council and he joins us now by skype from amman in jordan good to have you with is on the news. we do understand us we've been hearing from. iran can there that some major getting in. gaza do you think that the aid which is trickling in will be enough to help organizations such as your own. well you are right in court in saying it is trickling in because it is but a trickle it is essential of course fuel is running dowd's medical supplies are desperately needed we heard it's about 45 to 50 trucks going in but we also

need to take a step back this is all immediately needed right and this is this is urgently required to help save people's lives 2000000 trapped inside the gaza strip but they are under siege they've been like this for the last 15 years it's preposterous that we're even talking about across ingleton for this aid to go in when this is their daily lives these crossings are closed as part of their daily lives and are opened and closed according to israel's whims because it keeps these people under their thoughts and siege over 2000000 people who are now also. victims of these these bombs falling on them so what impacts would you see well i was could say what impact is this bombing from israel having on the people of gaza but if you're saying that these people are have been under siege for over 12 years now 15 years

now what kind of impact is this situation having on the residents of gaza because your organization is in gaza working trying to help gazans just give us a sense of the kind of things these people are facing. i mean as going to issues like this just totally destroyed the infrastructure that is rebuilt every few years and getting destroyed again so it is one long cycle of nightmares for these people and we step in as a norwegian refugee council together with other other aid organizations to try and repair and rebuild what is destroyed cyclical e every every few years but this has to stop this makes no sense whatsoever besides the total loss of life this morning i woke up to the tragic news that 8 of the children that we were working great in our psychosocial support have been killed 8 out of 60 so far over 60 children killed in the as they only air raids over the

last days these were children we were at our educators teachers working with them to try and help them cope with the trauma of the violence that they live on a day to day basis and then they get killed by the vote of violence that they are subjected to it is absolutely tragic that this is allowed to happen while the international community stays stays silent because of we just saw how the u.n. security council has been stopped from even making a statement about about this by the u.s. administration. a tragic situation indeed. within our region the refugee council thank you very much indeed for coming on the news hour reprieve. rossley been hearing children are paying the heaviest price in gaza $61.00 have been killed and a generation has been traumatized as kathi of his what am reports.

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 in the wind and instead that she's going through all of this point to be asking such. just such an existential question the depths of loss can be overwhelming especially for children. you know would still.

i guess. i'm not really that much i get i do it it might be oh i don't know what to feel just. as bomb strike nearby and this girl prays 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 civilian al-jazeera. had to ourselves come on the news hour including empty supermarket shelves are empty streets pandemic seems not normally associated with east asia until now. and taiwan's relations with hong kong plunged the lowest point in years after hong kong close its office in taipei also have the support for you one more here from some of the olympic athletes hoping the tokyo games do go ahead it's.

until at least october let's get lisa snow from elizabeth piron and joins us now from new delhi let's just talk through the general situation here will be read into these latest figures being released by the government. hello hala we're not going to make too much of the exact numbers of the fact that india has reported less than 300000 cases for the past 2 days and it recorded less than 300000 cases for the 1st time in a month on sunday but the over all trend is that the numbers are coming down and that there is less pressure on the health care system on hospitals in the worst affected states bot these are still very high numbers and that means that people are still dying from things like a lack of oxygen 5 people died in the district of salem in the southern state of the mullard that's just so far this week and so prominent in that in the morty has

held a meeting with state leaders to discuss the situation in the country the shortages of oxygen how to put the systems in place put the health care infrastructure in place and rural areas which are really really struggling to deal with the virus and also he said that they're going to the central government is going to try to send increase the supply of vaccines being sent to states because there simply aren't enough doses in the country at the moment. listen in other developments we're hearing. in 0 which is one of the main produces a vaccine worldwide will not be able to resume exports for several months i was behind this decision. part of that's not surprising again that's because of the vaccine shortages that hole in that was about 2 months ago that the indian government decided to considerably slow down

exports because they realize that they don't have enough at home in about a month ago they halted them india what's the biggest contributor to the un's kovacs program which provides vaccines to no income countries and because it's had to stop that low income countries such as india's neighbors need a strong longer many in africa a scrambling to find alternate sources but despite stopping the export something like 66000000 they either donated all solved before realising realising that they didn't have enough even though they've stopped the exports they still don't have enough vaccinations have fallen by 50 percent over the past month and states have been left now to try and make deals with foreign vaccine manufacturers none have been able to so far because the government even though it made everyone over the age of 18 eligible for vaccine from the start of may it hasn't ramped up production to meet that increase in demand when india has the capacity it produces 60 percent

of all the vaccines in the world and this was prone a mare from new delhi thank you. 70 station countries often cited for their success in controlling the pandemic and are grappling with their worst state breaks designed to further delays planned travel bubble was in singapore and hong kong and taiwan is talking to the us to get moving x. insists it reports 700 new cases in the past week but mcbride reports from seoul. supermarket shelves emptied by panic buying streets and businesses quiet while coronavirus testing sites are busy dealing with increased demand their scenes normally associated with other parts of the world not taiwan considered a model example of how to contain the pandemic until now

a sudden spike in new coronavirus cases linked to this airport hotel used by airline crews has led to clusters detected across the island which is now virtually closed its borders. or yes the truly non citizens without residence permit will be prevented from entering taiwan we will also suspend travelers from transferring through the country and this was the same health minister who led an event last summer to celebrate taiwan's apparent victory in keeping the pandemic out. still small compared with other places this outbreak of hundreds of cases is a worrying trend for an island used to single digit or even 0 new cases per day it's a sharp reminder of how east asia often uploaded for controlling the pandemic is still vulnerable to the corona virus and its developing variants especially given the relatively slow rollout of vaccines in places like here south korea and its

neighbors viet-nam had also been recording relatively few cases from the start of the pandemic but now is grappling with its worst outbreak and the region's main financial hubs of hong. hunger and singapore are also finding their not immune plans to resume flights within the travel bubble between the 2 cities have had to be delayed a 2nd time many asian neighbors eager to reopen like better vaccinated countries but aware of how quickly their own infection rates could surge if they do rob a bride al jazeera so. hong kong's government says it's temporarily closing its office in taiwan taiwan's government says that while it respected the decision it also regretted it tensions between the sea have risen since pro-democracy protests dances in 2019 taiwan had criticized hong kong's national security law and opened an office in taipei to help people who may want to leave agencies taiwan as

part of china. is more beijing. there is a current affairs outbreak happening again in taiwan but the hong kong office said that this is not due to that and what this closure is really also a reflection of the deteriorating ties between hong kong's beijing backed government and taipei and for contacts that's been deteriorating since $29.00 when we had these massive pro-democracy protests really bring hong kong to a standstill and we had subsequently this national security law which criminalizes subversion and under which we've seen more than 100 democracy activists arrested now during that time taiwan was incredibly supportive of the protesters even offering refuge to those who may want to leave hong kong and flee persecution as they called it now hong kong has had this office in taipei since 2011 it was opened under the previous administration which was somewhat more friendly with beijing in

the goal was to strengthen cultural and business ties between hong kong and taiwan and when they closed today on tuesday did they did not give a reason except to explicitly say that this was not due to the corvet 19 outbreak and it said that there was nothing more to add but according to hong kong media the reason for this closure could be because of the visa status now taiwan has its own de facto consulate in hong kong one of the functions is to help people leaving hong kong to taiwan now the hong kong government told the employees of that taiwan office that they would not have their visas renewed if they did not agree to sign a document supporting china's claim to taiwan and supporting the one china policy. spain is facing a diplomatic and humanitarian crisis of 206000 people crossed from morocco into the spanish enclave of seawater is the largest single day influx into the area many of them swam and more than a thousands are children spanish government has deployed troops to see it's

led to spanish anger perhaps concern the prime minister pether sanchez has now account sort of his trip on tuesday to paris he was due to attend an africa financing summit spain is extremely unhappy about what's happened now behind the scenes there has been speculation that the arrival in sea uter but also in. the other spanish enclave of morocco's coast was to do with a diplomatic row over the policy front as you were referring to the group's leader brahimi as early as admitted to spain for hospital treatment in northern spain last month morrocco protested to the spanish government saying that he had been taken admitted into spain under a false identity and without the knowledge of the moroccan government so they're

clearly unhappy now in recent months they have been given a boost because the united states this earlier actually in december recognized moroccan sovereignty over the territory of western sahara so now it's clear that morocco has been unhappy. it's been unhappy with with the situation and perhaps some commentators are saying moroccan forces made it easier for people to basically to walk or to wade through the water at low tide a few kilometers a reach say uter on monday and early on tuesday now otherwise usually people try to get into the spanish territory by climbing. the room very very hard fence that exists so this is rather unusual in particularly the numbers how. in london thank you nadeem still to come here on al-jazeera the pandemic

all. this is al jazeera quick one of our top stories for you this hour israeli forces are continuing the bombardment of gaza hospitals are overwhelmed and there's a severe shortage of electricity water across the strip 212 palestinians have been killed including $61.00 children since the bombing began 8 days ago. a general strike is underway across the occupied territories and israel they're protesting against the violence and occupation at least 20 palestinians have been killed in the occupied west bank since monday. and protests against israel's actions are gathering momentum around the world people have gathered outside the u.s.

embassy in indonesia capital jakarta to protest against the bombardments of gaza. and the state where there are top story on gaza in just a moment we'll be talking to the head needs in occupied east jerusalem 1st so let's head to harry for cities and bethlehem in the occupied west bank harry there are protests a general strike has been cold across the occupied territories how is that being marks and bethlehem what's happening where you are. very much so yes i mean this is in pretty much every sense a very well trodden road down here in bethlehem it's where clashes confrontations between the israeli security forces and palestinian protesters will happen if they do happen here in bethlehem we've seen live fire used across the occupied west bank by israeli troops throughout the week and we. seen fatalities and injuries as

a result the soldiers here acted very quickly as soon as the protesters approached them along the road behind us using tear gas immediately to disperse them before they got too close and that has been the situation pretty much since we've seen some stone throwing we've seen repeated bursts of tear gas elsewhere in the occupied west bank we've also heard about a death in at a checkpoint near hebron a man approached that checkpoint israeli security forces say with a knife a homemade gun and some kind of explosive device he was shot and the israelis say neutralized that almost always means killed but we haven't had that confirmed officially so far so this is the situation here with 2 recent human rights reports have classified the palestinian experience here in the occupied west bank throughout historic palestine in your territory in israel as apartheid but it's

here. that the frustration and grievance that that elicits really erupt into a direct confrontation between palestinians and the israeli troops most directly and that's what we're seeing now what we're likely to be seeing for some time yet ok terry force that there live from bethlehem mary thank you let's head now to the hamid she's in occupied east jerusalem for us odds are what's been happening let's see if he thinks fact is holds or there is there with thank you so just talk us through what's been happening in occupied east jerusalem there has been this call for palestinians a palestinian israelis to go in a general strike as that cold been he did. well yes if you go if you drive around occupied east jerusalem you will see that all the businesses are shut down now we are here at the mass because that's one of

the main entrances to the old city at this time of the day on a normal day you would have tens of people coming in and out none of that today so it seems that this call for a general strike has been the he did here in east jerusalem and as we understand it you will find similar scenes in all the palestinian. towns and villages across israel there has been also for the 1st time called for the palestinian medical staff working within the israeli health system to join that strike now really the message here coming out is that. people are fed up with what was what's going on yes it is in solidarity of gaza but this is the overarching theme of the occupation and how it affects palestinians on a daily basis so if you speak to people they say that they're horrified at what they see coming out of gaza the images of women and children you know running for

safety all. while while the area is being bombed or you know dead bodies of civilians all of that horrifies them but they're also protesting against what's happening for them for example here in occupied east jerusalem about what is has been unfolding over the past few weeks yeah aggression of the israeli police in the . mosque compound there also protesting against the threat of those families in chairs around which is a neighborhood not very far from here so you have all that simmering or that causing anger and of course the power of social media and all of these pictures coming out of gaza has really made that sort of boil over and now we hear that maybe later today they will be some. sort of protests because kate will have to see if that will actually happen or no ok we'll keep our eyes peeled for that for now though. in occupied east jerusalem thank you our hearts are let's just take you

back to ramallah ny live pictures there from one of those protests. significant numbers of people who've gathers for those process and again the ubiquitous burning tires cast in smoke in the air that's the scene from one camera points in ramallah we'll keep across this as ever bring you more developments as they come in but that is the scene at $104.00 c. 2. t. i go by the u.s. president has expressed support for a cease fire during his latest call with the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu biden is under growing pressure from members of his own policy cues him nor in the plights palestinian civilians john hendren has this report 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 administration 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 us embassy remains in jerusalem biden has not overturned president trumps recognition of israel's sovereignty over the occupied golan heights biden's 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 $735000000.00 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 days of air attacks since then. now israelis and palestinians alike wait to see if the american president. will actually make a difference john hendren washington. r. and c. 1000000 kenyans have lost their job since the beginning of the pandemic many people have been forced to make difficult decisions to survive in nairobi. had to go into sex works put food on the table. marry
