as palestinians in gaza. look for away forward amid a tense cease fire with israel. the un human rights council is looking back at the conflict and how it played out. the organization of his lama cooperation along with palestinians requested an investigation into possible violations of international law. a masses, indiscriminate rocket fire into israel was a clear one, according to high commissioner for human rights. michelle bash lay, but she says israel's response which killed $254.00 people, including $66.00 children, might also qualify as a war crime. this 5 is well cleaned, the menu is building one hosting armed groups or be used for military purposes. we have not seen evidence in this regard. such slight re serious concerns of his wild compliance with the principal distinction and proportionality under the

international. the council voted 24 to 9 to open investigation. israel however, refuses to participate another shameful day for the un human rights council, which not only defamed democracy trying to protect its people. but it, what washes a brutal genocidal terrorist organization that don't only indiscriminately attacks israeli civilians but abuses palestinian civilians in gather using them as human shields. the u. s. who secretary of state recently visited the region and other western allies, did not support the move saying it threatened to imperil recent progress towards peace, but the palestinian authority in mass. welcome. the move had a few of those. what happened in the gaza strip as a fully fledged war crime that the world watched happen on their television. now we need a further step to be taken, which is to actually punish the occupation, but away from the politics. many see this investigation as important for shedding

light on the ongoing struggle of palestinians under occupation. what has come up and this coming up in this, you guys council is the tackling an investigation of what is called the root causes of the recent round of bivens. and these are the institutionalized discrimination and the matter oppression that israel imposes on palestinians. this is the heart of whether it's happening right now. the united nation has been down this road before on israel and palestine since 2005, the human rights council has had 9 sessions on the situation in gaza. and while israel sees this as bias, others in the international community see it as evidence that something has to change. kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nations, and as the un human rights council voted in favor of investigating the conflict reaction among regular palestinians was skeptical. needa abraham spoke to some in ramallah in the occupied westbank. usually in palestinian. i saw people gathered

we're seeing more and more frustration when it comes to the international community . the ability to change things on the ground for palestinians. that's why they say they only have themselves to rely on. meanwhile, the united nations are asking for $95000000.00 in an emergency appeal for garza to cover humanitarian needs over the next 3 months. the money is mainly needed for rebuilding or repairing hospital schools, sewage water facilities. 8 has been trickling in on thursday. hundreds of people lined up to get goods sent from egypt. the united states is putting more pressure on if you appear to end the violence in its northern te gray region. the country is washington's most important ally in the horn of africa. seine white house official is warning of new sanctions and says, the region rests famine if the conflict continues. alan fish as this report fighting glucose to the c o. p s t great region 6 months ago. you'll be in trips
