scale of death and destruction in gaza, and it is truly appalling, and as you said, the hamas—run health ministryow says the death toll in gaza has gone beyond 31,000. and they say the majority of those are women and children. but i just ask you again, as an experienced diplomat, how do you think israel could justify to its people stopping its military operations in gaza, when a senior hamas spokesman, who speaks for the al-qassam brigades, the military wing of hamas, abu 0beida, just says in the last few days, "as muslims prepare worldwide to welcome ramadan, "we offer a sacrifice to allah, "a cascade of pure blood and pure souls. "we welcome the peak of islamic zeal, jihad and combat." in other words, hamas is saying their determination to continue the existential war with israel goes on. if israel is serious about really avoiding killing this massive number of palestinian civilians, there are regulations and laws, international humanitarian law, that would regulate their behaviour, vis a vis the civilian population in the gaza strip. israel is violating all of these provisions. in fact, the in

the hamas—run health ministry said that at least 11 dead bodies arrived at al shifa hospital. e deal between israel and hamas remains elusive, hamas said it has presented a truce deal to mediators, based on stopping what it has called israel's aggression against palestinians in gaza. in exchange for the return of all hostages, hamas proposed a more—than—four—month ceasefire. the deal would include relief aid and the return of displaced gazans to their homes. it also includes the withdrawal of israeli forces from gaza. meanwhile, israel's military says it plans to move the 1.4 million palestinians sheltering in rafah before a planned ground offensive in the city. civilians will be moved to areas israel calls "humanitarian islands" in the middle of the strip. aid groups warn it will be difficult to move so many people to such a small area, especially since a lack of fuel means many will likely have to travel on foot. much of the infrastructure in the areas designated as islands has been badly damaged by israeli attacks. the un and us have warned that a full—scale assault in rafah

the hamas-run health ministry says at least eight people have been killed by falling cargo after parachutes malfunctioned. the hazards of airdrops are one reason president biden announced in his "state of the union" address that the u.s. military will establish a temporary pier off the coast of gaza so aid can be delivered by sea. he emphasized there will be no u.s. boots on the grounds, but he didn't explain how long it would take. cbs news has learned the pier similar to this one must be shipped from virginia crossing the atlantic and mediterranean meaning delivering that lifesaving food, water, and shelter is weeks away. all this just ahead of ramadan, the holy month a time of prayer but violence between israelis and palestinians. that's one reason cia director bill burns was in the region pushing for a pause in fighting. mark, but with time running out and as president biden himself said, that's looking tough. >> chris livesay in tel aviv, thank you. >>> two national guard soldiers i a border patrol agent are dead after the helicopter they were flying in crashed in texas. it happened fr

from what we understand from the hamas—run health ministry, there are doctors and there are some patients still trapped there, even though they have been moved to administrative building at the site. we had a spokesman from the palestinian civil defence talking about how it is very difficult for his teams to access anywhere close to the hospital. he says there are some innocent people who have been killed by the fighting that has been going on there, and that there are women and children who are still trapped in their homes, close by. if you look to the south of the gaza strip, that is where the israeli military says, around the hospital which has recently been evacuated, it has killed dozens of what it calls terrorists. and the nasser hospital is not far away, that is why the palestinian red crescent has raised the alarm about thousands of people it says are trapped inside. we understand gunfire has been heard there. the israeli military says it has not carried out a new raid of the hospital. efforts continue, of course, to try to find a resolution. we know now that a meeting between sen
