2:06 pm
hope we will have a cease fire soon and for sure we will then have to hold on with the recovery and reconstruction. had the whole world has had then into the light it oh what even that might any 100 year plot i'm not going to end all this war and reconstruction of buildings perhaps it's easy to do what you can only hear if clomid obama i've been at the studio when my bennie and obama started ad emiko ad been out all all i also know of those houses we hope to rebuild after trying to 14 who have lost their homes 7 years later but no i'm not a fan of famine finn either but if you mean the last hostility in us that now yeah the minimum is in the home of the owner and as a homeowner l. the biggest challenge i think will be rebuilding souls review the people who brings up the good and the had but who added to be now who do highly uncertain and who require a meaningful political process that will give us palestinians before and solution
2:07 pm
what had their bit of a at the donmar now you're the one love. the e.u. i live arab and omar is a me and it is all yours when i see your nose the news is because we are in gaza and i'm talking 'd here if i solution has to be one. where now is the need and then you know the full not only on but you know what that extent many well yes you meant that would make getty much you could look up to. the nothing much earlier than a senior leader. of the. i mean leave being easy get him as hey how are all the time they are very late in change here my christian arabs. can really like talk a little. drink all night really 8 hours of saturday and sunday
2:08 pm
morning i didn't have to she says the turks the. i mention that i mentioned already that even the commissioner of general is not. so kind and then will follow what the law under what i've done let me get to mr. and indeed for the 1st 8 days of these in my counting we are indeed 9 the 1st 8 days we were not given any access in terms of bringing food or fuel and nationally our debts that have. a young man yet. yes we got some fuel trucks in yesterday but food trucks are returning. but the shouting at the mohamed. mohamed ability there let me at them estimate the whole reason we were given was the security concerns from this side that there was more fire to learn of and. to learn about. what we
2:09 pm
were wrong holes where we have it was a humanitarian corridors in the next senate how will that mean i might instead. of sort of some action not too much i love that every camera destruction. is the director again as a director for the united nations relief and works agency it provides aid for the palestinians talking about a number of issues putting out a flash appeal as well and saying we need any put a number on it i believe $37000000.00 for immediate assistance but talking about the fact that for the 8 or 9 days of this conflict so far they have not been able to get any aid or food in it is completely dependent on what israel will allow and so far it hasn't the situation getting worse for people in gaza as infrastructure is damaged people going to the schools for shelter and trying to look after them
2:10 pm
in those places. so let's look at some more of this and other events with attains on the ground how to build homemade in occupied east jerusalem imran khan in southern israel near the border with gaza starting go. ahead and what we just heard from there are no direct it underlines that in amongst all the destruction and the injuries and the loss of life there are people who still need all this support because they don't have food they don't have a they don't have supplies. your merits come on and oh how can you hear me all right. yes yes i can ok so just just reflecting on what the director of own roy said there reflecting on the people who are still in gaza we know there has been a lot of deaths and
2:11 pm
a lot of destruction but there are still so many people who need looking after. it's true i mean 72000 people now are displaced in their own very schools and government schools these people have come out of their homes with nothing at all they need food aid they need humanitarian aid their conditions are extremely extremely difficult we have been there i've been there and i visited lots of them and in the schools i do extended living conditions without especially now with the outages of electricity and outages of water and no food at all 8 to their living conditions their excess dreamily difficult and something else that the health officials have been talking to us about here is the corona crisis and the current epidemic that is still going on and because this trip and with these great amount of people being in one place at these times and this is the 3rd day
2:12 pm
where there are no any tests carona tests have been going on in the gaza strip considering that it has been destructed in while the ministry of health in ramallah 3 days ago had been targeted so this also compounds the health crisis and the humanitarian crisis in the gaza strip that are going on now. you know site in gaza thank you for that update. so that's stricken on ramallah the western media abraham with more on the funerals that have been taking place there. 2 funerals already took place one. for 2 palestinians of the 4 who were killed on tuesday one was a 16 year old and the other was a 20 year old and we've heard calls from palestinians to have.
2:13 pm
to participate in more protests and we've also seen calls from. inviting palestinians to participate in a protest here behind us in the. square. so it is a tense situation specifically that there is also a discussion in regards to what happened tuesday with the armed exchange of fire that happened between what we believe are palestinian fighters and the israeli army and some voices were saying that while. they believe that palestinians have the right to shoot. israeli soldiers they think. this is this shouldn't be done here protests or funerals taking place so this was the discussion that we've seen on social media and for many palestinians who are
2:14 pm
a difficult night we've seen also $36.00 palestinians being arrested across the west bank by the army. now to southern israel imran khan reporting for us there on we heard the director of in gaza talking about the inability of food aid or the inability to get food aid through into gaza or is there any prospect of border openings. well let me just show you something over there you see that smoke rising up that's basically about 20 minutes that was thick black smoke we think can't confirm but we think it's israeli bombardment it doesn't look like it can be anything else about 2 or 3 minutes ago we heard a rocket go across from gaza actually a really big boom which is unusual for rockets from gaza so clearly a further range rocket which went about 15 minutes down into central and into
2:15 pm
southern israel there were alerts going on so clearly there was a big exchange between the israelis and the palestinians in gaza now that's the kind of thing that's having an impact on the aid getting in through that goes by area now to give you some geography where i am right now is about just a couple of kilometers away from the ball the crossing trucks have been there for about 24 hours now it did open very briefly to allow some fuel in but there are all food trucks that with that there are also supposed to be medical trucks they came in yesterday we saw them but they they were turned back they weren't allowed to even get to kerim solemn there are negotiations going on between the united nations and israel to able to get that open but israel is very clear it says that it was attacked by a mortar and we are not letting any aid go through now i've been saying this before
2:16 pm
they say it's going in a trickle it's a drop in the ocean it's not. no neah enough now i've got a question for you come on when i was listening to the director of a new rule he mentioned a flash appeal i was just wondering if you can just tell me how much that flash appeal was full as i heard $37000000.00 i can't be 100 percent sure but that's the number i heard. that seems right now you have to contrast that with the amount of money the us administration has just given israel in weapons $755000000.00 just for this month alone and that's on top of the $3800000000.00 a year israel gets in military assistance and that's the kind of thing that privately is very frustrating to aid agencies they've told us again and again and again they're running out of money that just money but whenever anything like this
2:17 pm
happens money is always available for weapons and we've seen you can just it's probably dissipated by now but that's the kind of impact those weapons are having and then it has an impact on just trying to get a small amount of aid and good stuff imran khan you know we were looking at the live shot of gaza is what we could still see some of that smoke remaining just dokken sky isn't it over the horizon there in gaza as a result of what we see would be an israeli airstrike 5 minutes ago. pull all of this together with hoda abdel-hamid in a sort of crossroads position there on to her in occupied east jerusalem 9 days into this conflict now the head of seeing no sign of aid getting through there's no sign of a ceasefire at all really sorry
2:18 pm
but when not hearing you not to show what's happened to your audio there i can see you speaking but we can't he just going to double check just. ok we'll try again the later part of the heat is there an occupied east jerusalem even if we could hear it still plenty of news ahead including a breath of fresh air the french enjoy their outdoor cafes again as coronavirus restrictions loosen up. an old shoes becoming high odds the train is that a selling for as high as 7 figures that option. for the perfect gentleman. with a strong suit point qatar airways hallow they were expecting more wet weather for china and that's thanks to may you front sitting across central and eastern areas
2:19 pm
that's going to bring some really heavy rainfall we could see some localized flooding across areas of the yancey river basin and you can see that stretching out into southern areas of japan some pretty heavy rainfall expected there to potential flooding as well and it really sits here the seasonal front pulsating bringing with that those heavy rains the korean peninsula was clear and dry well look at that it's creeping up that rain and by the time we get into friday it's going to be affecting parts of northern japan so what's and windy weather on the way there but from northern china things are looking rather dry and settled the air quality in beijing remains on healthy but temperatures here edging up into the thirty's and as we look at the 3 day for cost we can see we'll get to 33 by saturday before it dips slightly down another area where things have been heating up is pakistan this was a scene in karachi some really high temperatures here people enjoying that sunshine
2:20 pm
and that cycle own narrative a missing pakistan and hitting northern india and that's edging its way up north. sponsored by qatar airways a life and death struggle for racial equality in a deeply on equal society fortunately there was a spy for the apartheid regime in there they've been very close friends like a family living together over 50 years off who was tortured to death from police custody i'll just see the world post the remarkable story of one to apartheid campaign in. south africa a man for to part on a just.
2:21 pm
you know with al jazeera mind at the top stories falls as a fire warning shot at another tower block in gaza dozens of palestinian families have been forced to leave their homes across the street more than 100 bombs and artillery shells were dropped overnight. you know possessions taken place for palestinians killed during the largest general strike in decades which happened on tuesday 4 people died across the occupied west bank. and factions in gaza launched more than 50 rockets towards israel overnight most intercepted by the air defense system called i and 12 people in israel have been killed since the start of the conflict that includes 2 children. right we've got a backhoe made in occupied east jerusalem as i said to kind of bring all this together for us harder in the context of 9 days of conflict in the context of his ready politics and the fact that people talk about the idea of a ceasefire but it's not happening yet. well people talk
2:22 pm
about the idea of a ceasefire we do know that there is international pressure pressure we do know that behind closed doors there's a lot of mediation and negotiations going on certain countries weighing in the united states france egypt jordan but publicly no one is talking about a ceasefire neither for we haven't heard that from the leadership of hamas actually they said that they will continue with this operation unless there is something in exchange for any kind of truce and then there's really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is also not talking about a truce actually a few hours ago he was talking g.d. diplomatic community to far and diplomats here at base as sorry base in israel and he was actually trying to explain what was israel's position he said and these are his words that israel had 2 choices either in his words again i said conquer
2:23 pm
gaza to restore calm or use the terror is which is in his mind what is happening at the moment meaning missile strikes from from the air but no troops under ground inside gaza he said that all options are on the table he tried also to explain that israel is doing is utmost choose not to harm civilians inside gaza even though the reality is completely different as you said this is day 9 of the offensive more than 220 killed inside gaza another 20 more $25.00 at least around the occupied west bank so the numbers actually approve the prime minister to the country now at the end of the day this was a prime minister who entered this war embattled at home domestically in a big political crisis israel has been through for general elections in less than 2
2:24 pm
years he has never been able to. to have outright majority or even to form a coalition government so he could very well come out of this war much more popular among israelis then he entered make no mistake it is this of this what's happening in gaza is very popular among many israelis the communities living in the south in the areas bordering the gaza but also further afield in the north in tel aviv know that now that hamas has longer range missiles along the rates go up abilities those communities also feel the threat so it is with them in the 10 yo is doing 2 things at the same time he is dealing with gaza he is trying to weaken hamas not get rid of hamas because that would be against the interests of israel and the other time on the other side he is also trying to go just popularity several political opponents now say they support him it's very possible that the
2:25 pm
end of all this he could actually form a majority and become again the prime minister of israel an extraordinary change of fortunes that would be thank you tiffany worth coming back for a lot of the high median occupied east jerusalem. on to other news and migrants are continuing to travel from morocco to a spanish enclave in north africa despite poor conditions there round 8000 people have crossed into the region of the say you to either by sea or by walking around the coast dozens of also reached melia which is spain's other wrong in the region european union is urging morocco to stop them the spanish government's already sent many back from those recent arrivals and spain's high court has opened an investigation into the policy fronts leader for alleged war crimes but he refused to sign a court summons saying he will 1st refer to algeria is embassy spain allowed to enter to get medical treatment after he contract a covert 19 policy are affronts long fought for the independence of western sahara
