the scale of the towns is like nothing you've ever seen access to health care. what we want to know, how did these things affect people? we revisit places day. even when there are no international headlines. there are really invest in that, not the privilege, as a journalist. oh, the celebrations it goes to the occupied westbank come to a cease fire takes effects between israel and from us. ah, i'm a very and again, this is al jazeera, alive from doha. global demands for sci fi, had grown louder in recent days, including a passion pleased at the un general assembly. if that is the help owners,

it is the lives of children in gaza today. the $65.00 children around $233.00 palestinians killed and 11 days upon bob and tom garza, which has deepened it's already di, humanitarian crisis. ah, it's one i sent to see. slide took effect aiming to close 11 days of conflict during which garza was pounded by as ready as strikes and thousands of palestinian rockets were fired towards israel. this is the scene right now in gaza, where palestinians are celebrating large crowds of also turned out across the occupied west bank. there were more attacks before the truce between israel. a mass came into force broken by egypt. the cease fire also includes garza. the 2nd most powerful group islamic jihad, the conflict has claimed at least 33 palestinian lives in garza,

including 65 children. 12 people have been killed in israel. the world is grown increasingly vocal in tomorrow to get in to the bloodshed on thursday. un chief antonio ganesh till the general assembly that if there is hell on its lives of children in gaza, will speak live to gabriel. l as in washington dc in just a moment. but 1st, let's go to south what lute his life for us in guys up. so we're now on our, into this c slap. what's happening there? stuff. what well, i just random riley's indices celebration, celebrating all over the gaza strip. we had the quick, we went to the state, our sense to see who could see people who have been seeing indoors for 1111 nights now. deployed indices, celebrating the mouth shut a little higher. also give a speech of books today as they described to us by destroyed residential

area. and that was bombarded by israelis on this family called the last 465000000 members and attack. so that's what symbolic celebration on morning guys. well, by how much official, also in units thousands of people they, they went to visit the house of the general commander of the thumb brigades, the military command, the command, the military of how much somebody gets inside newness in the south of the gaza strip. so we could see, achieve a lot, but we could also firewall the show and then shooting a lot that the greatest all these celebration is that they were supposed to celebrate the during the fees that follows ramadan. we could hear them today as if

they were celebrating the faith of the one that followed them about now we could see some, i had to look on some of the experts on facebook pages talking about the damages that were close the end of the 11 days of escalation, looking about thousands of houses destroyed or eventually units, they call them either partially or completely destroyed, which need, according to the x. but this is like, initially they made the figure $100000000.00 for rebuilding or fixing the houses that had been either damaged or destroyed. or we can still hear the sound of israeli drones behind us, as, as you speak, took us through the hours that led up to the seas file. look this dawn is part of the construction of gods. i never lift god the sky even before the letters

of collision and the gardens are the people in god that they call it, that none of them not know what the difference of the noise that is caused by the drawn. so this is part of the live life this time if they have it, if they don't have it, then the price. so. busy it has nothing to do actually with that. these are at some point many thanks, need to put them live for us in garza, us, president, job bite and welcome to sci fi will say that washington will continue with its diplomatic efforts. he also says he sees a genuine opportunity if a piece we've held intention, high level discussions our by our literally egypt, palestinian authority and other middle eastern countries with the name of avoiding the sort of prolong conflict we've seen in previous years when hostile and he's broken out, i believe the palestinians and israelis equally deserved to live safely and securely and enjoy equal measures of freedom,

prosperity and democracy. my administration will continue our quiet, relentless diplomacy toward that end. i believe we have a genuine opportunity to make progress and i've committed to working for it. let's go live out of washington. i was 0 as gabriel. elizondo is the, for us, the by to ministration has come on the increasing pressure over the last few days gave its apparently dragging its feet over this issue. they really had been, they had been coming under a lot of pressure from the progressive wing of the democratic party from several lawmakers and others as well for by not reacting quickly enough to the violence. and even in the local media here in the united states all week, the situation, israel and gaza was dominating the news coverage share. and so what you saw from a president biden in this address,

it was the 1st time that he's really addressed this. obviously since the cease fire came and was announced, is you stop by and they're still throwing his support behind israel. he said that the u. s. would, in his words replenish the iron dome defense system the israel uses. he also repeated what he said before that, and his words, israel has the right to defend itself. he left out, he did not say in his view of the palestinians had the right to defend themselves. and he also said in that speech, very also importantly said that the u. s. will pursue peace negotiations further. but with the p l lo and not were from us and said to work with the united nations, for humanitarian efforts to rebuild god's up. and speaking on that front, i will say we did get a statement in from a very top united nations official. tor went in slander norwegian diplomat, who is the us special coordinator for the middle east priest process tweeted not

too long ago after the cease fire was announced and i read it in part. i welcome to cease fire between guys in israel. i commend egypt and cut our for the efforts carried out in close contact with the un to help restore calm the work of building palestine can start again, that tweet from the un special coordinator for middle east peace process. closer home here to in the united states, we also have gotten reaction since the fire went into effect from chris murphy and important senator from the state of connecticut. he tweeted this, but cease fire as good news. now the u. s. must lead the effort to help the people of guys that recover and pursue a policy that stops the dangerous recent slide away from a 2 state future. so that for my chris murphy, a senator from connecticut,

we expect to hear more reaction later this evening or tomorrow, given the president biden is under pressure for many members of his own party to change his policies towards the the israel palestine conflict. is there any indication that he's likely to do so? it's really hard to say right now, quite frankly, president biden came into office and he wanted to spend his 1st year focusing on anything but middle east peace. he wanted to focus on domestic issues, the economy, the roll out of the coven, 19 vaccines, and on the international front. his priorities have been china, russia, and to a lesser degree iran. beyond that, that was what he wanted to focus on. but with the violence in guys that we saw it sort of thrust biting into the middle of this, whether he liked it or not. and so now the big question will be, is she satisfied president joe biden with just this cease fire?

and then backing away from this moving forward, or will he and will the white house and will washington in general now see this as a potential opportunity to really push forward the peace process even if it means it's not happening on jo biden's timeframe that he wanted it to happen on that's going to be the big question, moving forward here in washington, and we're probably not going to have answers for days, weeks, and maybe even months going forward. it's going to be very interesting to see how joe biden pursues this going forward, or i gave manufacture date out to 0. is gabriel elizondo that live in washington. let's take a look at some more of the international reaction to the sci fi, the case. foreign secretary dominic rob, so that all sides must work to make the sci fi durable. and to end the cycle of violence focused on foreign ministry called for the mobilize ation of humanitarian aid to gaza. and call for a revival of concrete efforts to end israel as occupation of palestinian

territories and the president of the un general assembly. welcome to seize 5 at his calling for the reconstruction of gaza. we must address critical needs of the palestinians. this includes mobilizing support for and rebuilding vital public infrastructure that has been destroyed, particularly in gaza. we have be not this unfortunate juncture to many times this latest fed up did not happen in, in a vacuum. this is not an isolated occurrence, and it cannot be divers from the broader context of this the case long issue, including the protected military occupation of the post in today's roman korea is director of global engagement at the american university of bay rotate join. just now live from new york to any of this once again, robbie, we were talking to a guest a little earlier mother in gaza about the ceasefire. she said it isn't over. we've

got to cease fire, but it isn't over. what are your thoughts? that's correct. so the cease fire is really important to and the military action and the human suffering which has disproportionately the suffering has been n gas or higher power disproportionately has come from israel's, the fire, as an indication of rising international anger. and really discussed at the barbarism that the israelis have used and they've done it before. and this is happened before every time when it gets too much for people to take, where you get an entire family with a children, all of them die. and because they were bombed, while they were sleeping at night, it gets too much and then the picture bills and the pressure builds up inside the u . s. now, which is new to certain extent, on burden and the international public sphere. when a discusses israel often talks about apartheid in the same breasts. so these are

all new elements which will reveal themselves in the coming weeks and months if they are part of a new phase that will maybe perhaps move to an association that will address the underlying causes, which is what the mother was talking about. the siege of gaz other for her mission on travel, the extension of settlements and colonies, et cetera. and what, this is something we have to keep up with the pressure that, that he's coming on to. do you think that, that the by joe biden is going to move to, to change us policies? was the region well, he certainly has the power to do that. we've seen it in previous presidents from ours and our 2 others. george bush, the 1st on base or did some novel things. secretary said baker, so he has the power to do it. whether he has the courage to do it or the fundamental depth such of humanity to do it remains to be seen. has history,

has as a very pro israeli liberal democrats, and that's a bad history for peace making because the united states for 40 years has been the so mediator and has a she's really nothing. but i really must point out. when i read the statement, i watched the by the little 1st conference or the say, can you read this statement carefully? there was one sentence where, twice he used the term twice. use the term equal rights of equality for freedom and development. them on security between israelis and palestinians. that seems to me a slightly important new nuance. and this is something i criticize the american as far as that. they've never been able to fully equipped israelis and palestinians as people who have the same rights. now that we may be seeing little hence upsets and

the reason is not because the humanism of barton is coming out. but it's because he was feeling the political pressure at home. and the israelis were feeling the international pressure of being associated in apartheid south africa. and speaking of that international pressure, one thing is certain a return to the status quo will not be acceptable, not only to palestinians, but too much of the rest of the world. because there is this, this feeling that the public opinion is shifting here. that's correct, that is shifting. we're seeing many, many examples of it. the rest of the world doesn't really matter unless it, it translates its concern into action. and the one way that may happen is to the international be the a sanction, the for the restaurant sanctions movement as powers and civil society has launched . if this is how south african apartheid was brought down by sports and business

and other people refusing to deal with the apartheid regime and south africa. and so if the international community takes action to beckett's words, we may see something really significant starting to happen. and then it's possible not under the current israeli and palestinian leaderships may be under the american will say it's possible they might shift to a really serious space to go see a sion under a international umbrella that must include the americans because the israelis only trust the americans, they don't trust anybody else, but the americans are starting to show some nuanced little shifts. so there's a lot of moving parts here. most of them are new. and we're going to have to wait, i would say to 3 months to really find out if this is the beginning of a new phase in which more rational leaders, more effective political action, more emphatic, public protest movements around the world's 0 in on the problems that drive

this conflict and have driven it for for 400 years. and i would say focus on one thing, israeli settlement expansion. that is if the israelis or announce after 2 weeks approving more settlements, that's gonna be the, the, the litmus test. if the americans do nothing or they just issue statements and the israelis keep occupying land, alex land expelling, published abuse during more ethnic cleansing. that's going to be the key because that has been the core of the complex for the last 100 years. the land and the people on it. so that's why we should really keep our eyes was going to run a penny. thanks. indeed. rummy corey, that via skype from new york. let's look at some of the numbers since i've garz's deacon's destruction to the last 11 days. around 450 buildings have been either destroyed or damaged according to a you an estimate. that includes $16800.00 housing units. nearly 2000 of them had

been flattened, 18 hospitals and clinics for his among them garza's only cove at 19 lab, which is now unable to process tests. 66 schools have been damaged. that includes 2 kindergartens at the you and vocation training facility. damage to electricity, lions and networks means the average power supply has been reduced to 3 or 4 hours . and 3 water treatment plans have also been effected. suspending service to around $400000.00 people. that's the shower is a humanitarian worker who lives in kansas city. she says a c spot doesn't translate to a, to a return to piece for palestinians. si, fi, i mean that situation go back to 2 piece or to the, to the normal situation or the what, what it's supposed to be same as a normal situations because that is on the see just with the duration in which part of that we would like to continue,

we know about from the israeli policies to as bad as indians across the board. and in the west bank in, in, in june. then there are no get into that the week after a month after maybe earlier we'll go back to how they used to be. and that's a huge concern. of course there's a lot of a lot of relief because we have been bombarded like in the news and they so intensely so have me that i'm so glad that i didn't have the roof and my kids are still ok. i'm trying to keep the, keep them the same as much as possible. i'm the, the, the current affairs of how and, and its allies are behaving. and that has know, that hasn't been any justice to the palestinians. and unfortunately at all

levels, and that's the level we see, and we have the last hope that we are not put on the same in the same value as, as how it's ryan eighty's interest. so unfortunately, we, we do appreciate the great initiative. yeah. but we have no, how can i say i trust in, in all of that? to other he is now at least 100 people are confirmed dead after a powerful sigh, clone hit india's western coast. the indian navy has recovered $49.00 bodies from an oil body that sank during cycle and tile tape. and just along the way to find 26 workers and crew who is still missing dozens more. i don't have been killed in the state of goods that pumped into town reports from delhi separately over the last few days, they have also a rescue. hundreds of other people who will on 3 vessels and an oil rig that went

adrift when the cycle hit. now this is been a very challenging rescue operation because you know, the part of the storm was so powerful that the wind was so strong and the water with so choppy. and these people have been out there for 4 days. so it's been a big challenge. the cycle has also left a trade of devastation on land as well. you know, the state of goods route where it may land fall on tuesday on monday night actually at least 53 people have died and hundreds of homes have been destroyed. hundreds of roads have been blocked and along the other states along in west schools have also reported a lease. it doesn't debt not afford to say this till assessing the damages from this psych loan. but it has also complicated matters in terms of the pandemic. several of the states, like her not to call carola marashi and of course, good shot are in the middle of a surgery. search in covey cases. the 8th nations of the council of agreed on

you only last month, no way agreed with united states to all, to see the a lot of territorial control in the form of military bases. 4 of them which do not a state have an interest in and obviously the objective is quite quite clear that would like to use this presence in norway in order to challenge russia and are at the end of the council. the ceremonial gamble was passed on to russia, which intends to use its chairmanship to prioritize sustainable development in the far north. but of course, any development strings, environmental impact friction between the natural human worlds and increasingly the possibility of political and even military conflict. pull brennan, al jazeera diesel power generations are being switched off in the g and c as grease connected, the biggest islands to mainland electricity. the aim is to lower costs. compet emissions in line with greases, renewable energy target johnson office reports now from maximus.
