but also promises to help rebuild. garza, sri lanka imposes a travel band to stop the spread of curving 19 that's under pressure to go into lockdown as infections rise. and we're in these spanish include of suitor with thousands of migrants, of course, in the middle of a diplomatic ro between morocco and spain. ah, day to the cease fire between the israeli military and hamas appears to be holding in garza more than 24 hours. after that truce came into effect, humanitarian aid has begun. arriving the devastation of 11 days of air strikes on the besieged garza strip is expected to cost almost $100000000.00 to rebuild. thousands of people in garza are now homeless, both israel and how mass of warned. but the facts will resume if the other side breaks the agreement or

a force it has more now from gaza. people are still out on the streets, trying to resume something, approaching what was even forgot a normal life before all of this took place. but every way you go around here, you see the evidence of what has taken place in the last few days across the road from us here. a building whose top couple of floors were very seriously damaged by and israeli strike, which itself is right next door to a bank which was totally wiped out. and here, across the road here we are in the garage area, the, the parking area of the building belonging to the palestinian ministry of health. this is where doctors offices were. this is where a lot was you can see the rebel, the detritus from that explosion across the road has very, very seriously affected this building as well. and what is significant about this building is that it is what we're the only covert testing lab in gaza was housed.

and so it had a very serious impact on what was already a burgeoning crisis inside the strip. they have managed to relocate some of that testing capacity, but only a limited amount elsewhere in the health ministry. while dealing with the crisis of all of these injuries that they're currently having to deal with and is overwhelming. the situation in the hospitals is now turning his attention back to the coven situation. because with all of those people displace those tens of thousands of people, displaced a lot of them and pretty disorganized ways crowding into un schools and government schools. they came together in great number and there is informal word where getting that of those being tested in such places where they spent several days together in pretty poor hygiene. the positivity rate to cope among them was nearly 50 percent. and so that is something new, something on top of the, the aftermath of all these,

these attacks that already hearing guys are going to have to deal with. well, so many families in garza who are returning home, there's little or nothing left of their homes. human. i'll said met some of the palestinians facing the daunting task of rebuilding the of tell me family was at home when the walls of their living room came crashing down. the father had actually been watching reports of these really air strikes on television when the house was hit. no means daughter's apartment, which was only built last month, has also been completely destroyed. a lot of the gardening can with 3 families living in this home, my daughter came along with the kids to suddenly the power went off and we heard violent bombardment. it was our 1st time to hear such a sound. the rebels suddenly started to fall on us and the kids were screaming. they were flying around. the family left their home with little more than the clothes they were wearing at the time and were taken fresh to hospital before being

transferred to a united nation school study. mister delucca for them. now, when the raids were extensive, we went down because my kids were afraid of the upper floor when we got to the ground floor, my sons home, it was not destroyed. yes. but then the rates got worse and we ran to my brother in those home, right. next, wow, and we ran from one home to another. was old, frightening. my brother in law only destroyed to it was the 2nd day of eat. my kids didn't even get to where the new clothes, the toby's were among the 1st to return to their home. after these really air strikes, the conflict may have ended for now, but many gardens have now to deal with the damage and destruction coast. thousands of homes are gone and the habitants displaced. they need food, shelter in medical help. there are many scenes of destruction and because this trip but only one, i felt thousands of fallacy in families. separate of almost 2 weeks long bargemen,

c, u, l. 0 gods out us president joe biden. since he remains committed to a 2 state solution. our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit has more from washington who you are. the president continues to be challenged publicly by some members of his own democratic party in congress over his support for israel, the us president. as he spoke alongside the south korean leader moon j in at the white house was questioned about whether or not this shift and support could be a problem for his israeli palestinian strategy. moving forward here is what the us president had to say. there is no shift my commitment commitment to the security of israel periods, no shift, not at all. but i tell you what, there is a shift in the shift is that we have to, we still need

a 2 state solution. we were going to make sure that we are going to provide for security in the west bank. and recently we renew the security commitment, as well as economic commitment to the people on the west bank. i also indicated to these rallies that i thought was very important, that they stopped in jerusalem, this inner communal fighting. that is why extremes on both sides, it has to in it has to in and i'm prepared to put together and i'm going to attempt to put together a major package with other nation to share a view to rebuild the home. my party still supports israel. let's get something straight here until the region says unequivocally they acknowledge the right of israel to exist as an independent jewish state. there will be no peace us president joe biden believes that his approach of quiet diplomacy is what

allowed for the fighting to end after 11 days and not last much longer. but now the concern does the cease fire whole the other big concern reconstruction in gaza and making sure that when it comes to israeli citizens, whether they be jews or arabs, that they be treated equally. us president joe biden saying that the forced expulsions of palestinians from their homes and occupied east jerusalem must stop. erica is a contributor to the washington diplomat newspaper and author of the g o. p. 's civil war. he says, joe biden has been forced to acknowledge voices within his own party. they want a change in policy towards israel. what you're seeing now are a number of democrats who are willing to come out and speak in very openly critical terms of israel and israel's military, aggression or millet. it's military response of either be what we're saying in the

gaza strip. now this is unprecedented, something we would not have seen from democrats even 5 years ago. but now what you're seeing are not only a number of democrats willing to go as far as to call israel and apartheid state, but willing to even push their own president. and i think what you're seeing is a president who has been backed into a corner because his own party has not been with them in his staff, members of the democratic party who recognize their power and recognize their power over u. s. foreign policy. and we see that evidence by the chair of the house foreign affairs committee, congressmen gregory meeks, from new york democrat, who is also calling for a delay in the sale of a 735 mil 1000000 dollar weapon system to israel. again, unprecedented. the israel is the biggest beneficiary of u. s. foreign aid, including military 8 and the region. and now what you're seeing are members of

congress who are willing to say this needs to be put on hold until we figure this out. and so this is making it difficult, not only for the president, for his, but for his apparatus, for the secretary of state, tony blank and to be able to adequately engaged. because what you're seeing are democrats who are willing to go out on a limb and say, there is an imbalance in this relationship and it needs to be redirected. al jazeera wrestle said i spoke with the palestinian foreign minister about the international effort to achieve the ceasefire. in an exclusive talk to al jazeera interview, react, malika says it's unclear if the truce will hold when there are no guarantees or thought, no guarantees or thought. because, you know, i proclaim that you know the fire. if you're lucky that they have taken that decision on their own. but at the same time, you know, no one could ignore that. all that egypt has played a very important role that egypt has played. and the role that to cut out has
