5:05 pm

5:07 pm
looking for an apartment or any any safety place so some movement here or just some people who are looking for safety and this area has strongly bombed on our left there is a building where it was 15 stories and on the right there is more a lot of which includes jewelry and it's sort and it's at that point and the service and we were talking earlier to our correspondents imran khan about the aid convoys that are stuck at the checkpoints that can't get into gaza how badly needed is this. talk is how much is our supplies are last saying in terms of medical equipment foods but also water because this is been going on for several days there aren't. 8910 days before the
5:08 pm
severe bombardments are people able to get its water fruits and supplies are things starting to run quite low. till now we according to the us according to what we see we do not say that there is shortage of food but there is a little bit it is lower and lower for example regarding. lots of foreign markets which produces video tables. and suburbs i mean in the east and north of gaza of gaza strip so the farmers out of there but. the farmers i mean the farms out of the air and the final is going to go there and the mere chance i myself or any other people it tried to buy some the troubles we found some of them at the prices a little bit higher but. they said because this is. it is
5:09 pm
a little bit expensive because they cannot go to their farm to collect this and other things that some goods began to supply some shortage from the supermarkets and groceries because of the closure i mean. crossing is a close that's why there is no wood scum. come from the crossing it is all been there some couple of hours then it is it has been closed. so there is tension or some fear would it be some shortage or not till now it is in admission to shortage of addictive city till now maybe each house can live with 3 or hours of electric power after that major of. electric meat work it is the same old saw with water fresh water poured into municipality they received hundreds and hundreds of the phone calls and out of the gate and and the
5:10 pm
compliments about the shortage of water ins in some blocks in some quarters in gaza . that the teams of the municipality cannot work freely because of bombing and because of because of bombing because of shortage of equipment so. i mean the problem is collating ok very challenging situation in. lies from gaza thank you. yes president joe biden has told israel's prime minister that he expects a significant deescalation in the fence of gaza a spokeswoman said biden told benjamin netanyahu that it was an important step toward reaching a ceasefire when nearly half of gaza's population is under 14 and children among those are paying the heaviest price in this conflict $63.00 have been killed hundreds have been injured and many many more have been traumatized
5:11 pm
a study last year found that nearly 90 percent of children in gaza have experienced personal trauma after 15 years of israeli blockades and for israeli offensive war and poverty has left a generation scarred for life or was nyima is the communications officer for gaza. for save the children he says the international community must take action to stop the suffering. this has happened in the past and it continues to happen and this is just unbelievably exhausting cycle for children to go through and. at the moment there is. continuing so no international organization is able to move around it ever assistance or do specific assessments for the damages so all of this would have been like we draw up plans and wait until the cease fire happens for that we are able to reach people and they were the assistance and do the
5:12 pm
assessments of the schools the 1st step is to them the assessment of the damages and do fundraising for the for the rebuilding and the we have indications of the damage the schools for everything that's related to the physical side of the resuming education which is going to be expensive exhausting and would take a lot of efforts from from international donors from organizations that are on the ground but there's also the psychological 'd part of it for the children themselves will be suffering from trauma and from attics of the foreigner and various disorders and impacts on their mental health getting back to the mindset of being able to to go back to school to wake up every morning looking forward to get out of the house and go to school which is not the case this is a long way for us to go through and the thousands of children hundreds of thousands of thousands of children would need us to work with them on psychosocial supports
5:13 pm
and helping them to get back to do like a brush over the impacts of fear and anxiety and and everything they have gone through this conflict which is very very the better difficult for for all children . still has 000 juice to come by arts will tell you that the traders that are selling for 7 figures that. hallo there well that wet weather in china is going to continue particularly across central and eastern parts we've got the may you front edging its way up bringing that heavy rain those heavy rains to southern areas of japan we could see some localized flooding here where those rains are particularly heavy and the korean

5:16 pm
a warning shot at another terrible can gaza dozens of palestinian families the force of the their homes across the strip more than $100.00 bombs an artillery shells for farce overnights several rockets are being far from southern lebanon towards israel reports 2 rockets landed in an area as they are carrying it near haifa districts the army says striking back into the lebanese territory. and u.s. president joe biden is told to show as prime minister that he expects a significant steer escalation in the offensive on gaza a spokesman said barzan told netanyahu that it was an important step towards reaching a ceasefire. well for more on this cross syria white house correspondent kelly how could she joins us now from washington d.c. kimberly this is the 3rd or 4th full color from joe barton to that's and he's expecting a significant deescalation will the u.s.
5:17 pm
president get one. well certainly the you're right i think in terms of the count on the phone calls i believe this is the 4th phone call and it is notable that there's only been one phone call with the u.s. president and the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas having said that the u.s. president in this call there has been a readout that has just been released and as you point out the president conveyed in his phone call to benjamin netanyahu that he expected a significant deescalation today on the path to a cease fire that's really important because what he said is the path to a cease fire he is not calling for an immediate cease fire which is what many in the president's democratic party on capitol hill are looking for and have been demanding themselves and pressuring their president to ask for instead the readout says they have a detailed discussion about the state of events in gaza still what we can see in
5:18 pm
diplomatic speak is an incremental step forward because you'll remember just earlier in the week that the u.s. president was insisting but there was support for a cease fire so we've now got a step further but there still is not this outright call for one what the white house has been doing in this time is insisting that quiet diplomacy is taking place that telephone diplomacy is taking place and that there is diplomacy that is going on with some of its partners and allies namely egypt jordan qatar who have chattels to hamas and this is the way the united states believes they can bring down the escalation but despite some of these messages to the israeli prime minister what we've also seen is kind of some confusing messages from joe biden in his public statements expressing that israel has a right to defend itself and you have to remember that that's a very strong statement coming from a u.s.
5:19 pm
president given the fact that this country historically. billions of dollars in military aid to israel so it is kind of bit almost a statement down the middle in other words trying to please the factions of the democratic party that are calling for a cease fire well also allowing israel bit ally of the united states to carry on this campaign so once again the latest development coming from the white house as of this readout that's come out just moments ago is that the u.s. president has had another phone call with the israeli leader and what he is saying is that he expects a significant deescalation today on a path to a cease fire in an effort to resolve the violence that has continued for more than a week can they how can that live from the white house can really thank you the european union has taken a sad to war to relax and to do some travel for business from our site the bloke. backs plans to a lot of really vaccinated travelers to visit europe who also agree to an easing

a gamble that the government is taking on the infection rates of coker about 35000 in france at the moment i compare that to the u.k. similar sized population in the u.k. it's about 2 and a half 1000 daily infection rates so there's a big difference the hope is that the bucs anation migrates will speed up allowing opening up to continue. africa has received just 32000000 doses of cool for vaccines about 18000000 have made it into people's arms now new supplies have tried don't have to india blocks exports to basle its own i think the growing thanks the resistance in africa means that means doses that are available are either being destroyed its author given away nicholas hock reports that a cove in 1000 vaccination center in goma in the democratic republic of congo nurses wait for members of the public to show up for free vaccine hours ago by.
5:24 pm
sometimes days before a patient appears willing to get inoculated only about 5000 people out of 90000000 have taken up the offer of a vaccine among those unwilling to get vaccinated are health workers doctors and nurses who don't trust the vaccine. we don't know the real truth about the vaccine our government isn't very clear with us on who should be getting it elderly people or us we just don't understand what is in it and who it is for until they provide us with some clarity i refused to get an ocular the fear of the vaccine appears to be spreading faster than the vaccine itself since the ball outbreak there has been a general distrust in the country among health workers with people fearing that they spread viruses instead of protecting the population to the videos online like this one where a french doctor last year suggested that vaccine should be tested on africans before being administered to europeans. faced with such skepticism the government
5:25 pm
is giving away 1300000 doses of astra zeneca vaccines it received last march to other african countries but they too are struggling to knock elate their populations in south sudan and cameroon only a fraction of their populations is vaccinated there are many rumors and much misinformation online but in regions where most people don't have access to the internet that alone doesn't explain why so many are not taking up a vaccine free of cost the u.n. says governments aren't doing enough to accurately inform their citizens and make doses readily available to them in uganda where there's only enough doses to vaccinate one percent of the population president museveni is leading by example u.n. officials admit getting people vaccinated in months in countries where it is taking decades to get children inoculated against measles or yellow fever is a challenge well actually we're getting vaccinated might seem to be
5:26 pm
a cost it's actually not that simple you know there's a journey to get to the health center you either need to pay for transportation so that's going to be your best fee or you are taxi or you have to go so there's a cost associated with getting your children vaccinated getting yourself vaccinate and that's a high price to pay and that's a massive challenge for very vulnerable families the india variant is already on the african continent but without enough vaccine doses available and few vaccinated the fear is the situation can only get worse nicholas hawke al-jazeera. migrants are continuing to travel from morocco to the spanish enclave in north africa despite poor conditions there around 8000 people cross into seemed to. the coast the spanish government already sent back many of the recent arrivals european union is urging recruits to stop them since have also. melia suit and millie are
