We begin in egypt where prosecutors say gunmen who stormed a mosque in sinai were carrying and i saw a flag officially there is still no claim of responsibility but egypts military has already begun target saying with bombing targets part of a pledge by president Abdel Fattah Elsisi that those behind the attack would not go unpunished more than three hundred people now known to have died in the attack in bed the worst in egypts modern history hannah starr reports. Egyptian military has released this footage which it says shows its warplanes hitting targets in the sinai its part of its crackdown on suspected fighters after fridays devastating attack these targets the minute she says are believed to be housing or storing ammunition linked to those who attacked the mosque has president Abdel Fattah Elsisi has promised to use brutal force and an iron fist against those responsible for what he called a heinous act of terrorism he also declared three days of National Mourning this is the worst attack in egypts recent history apart from the devastating loss of life people here a feeling angry to. Be for anything i thought our leadership because our leaders havent taken decisive decisions with respect why because this isnt the first time this has happened and its in a mall so thats. The brotherhood is giving money to these people theyre spending all of them there helping them who else is going to help them this is the mosque that was targeted in the troubles northern part of the sinai its used by sufis members of a Mystic Movement within islam the attack began shortly after the noon worship started in the mosque was four witnesses described how between ten and twenty masked gunmen were a military uniform stormed the mosque using rocket fire grenades and automatic weapons it also blocks the escape route local reports described how the government surrounded the mosque outside to mow down any survivors as well as those who are rushing to the scene to help this thirteen year old described how he survived. I was outside the mosque and suddenly i heard gunshots inside i saw them running and i went inside the mosque i found all of the people climbing on top of each other they were trying to get out of the mosque because they were afraid and i was trying to get out of bullets and of my like no one has claimed responsibility for the attack but a media. Suspicion has form a local i saw linked armed Group Analysts say the heavy handed military response could potentially lead to more on rounds you saw at the beginning of fomenting of a cycle of violence of state repression targeting these groups through arbitrary arrests leading to them for mentoring a cycle of violence.

Egypt is also securing its borders the planned reopening of the rafa crossing into gaza is now delayed until further notice it was expected to open temporarily on saturday but its been put on hold egypt has kept the crossing largely sealed off since twenty thirteen while the army fights groups in the area says thirty thousand people have been waiting to cross well earlier timothy called us from the taria institute for middle east policy told aljazeera the military approach in sinai has not been effective. In the in the case of sinai the military has had a pretty active tempo of. Counterinsurgency and Counterterrorism Operations for quite some time and as yesterday showed it hasnt been enough to stop this sort of thing from happening and for us to continue to escalate. Its tactics in the mainland the government has been fairly successful at bringing down substantially the number of attacks however sinai has remained a different challenge. I think that the question that needs to be asked is when will the military and the government review its strategy and look to have a more sophisticated and mixed approach to counterinsurgency the military strategy alone has not been and has not been adequate and so its time to examine what other options are available and how to win over the local population and help the nicest safe haven and the ability to move more freely.

And members including senior ministers are meeting in the hall why is troubled brewing in the city of karachi. It appears that the government had miscalculated they didnt know the strength of the reaction. Happen and forward on the streets across pakistan indeed a crisis situation one threatening to spiral out of control that it. That the former interior minister is how.

But you really get a sense of the fear and a lack of trust amongst them by saying that they are not prepared to go back until their property is rebuilt and they get some sort of formal legal citizenship status. Hasnt seen her husband since she fled a month ago. On our first they have to give us Identity Cards at the border stating that we are residents all citizens and that we are.

Also says his home and village was destroyed and he is terrified about returning to live like that and they wanted out of him we dont want to leave bangladesh back home were afraid to leave our houses they kill us they take our people away we dont want to go back im going to deny that. According to the Bangladesh Government theres no fixed time frame as to how long this repatriation will take its hope that the process will start in about two months time the Bangladesh Foreign minister also says that myanmar has agreed that the u. N. H. C. R. The un will be involved in the process and its aiming to set up temporary camps so people like these can live in the areas in which their homes were destroyed but the two main issues when you speak to the people here are issues of trust trust of the military and secondly citizenship will they eventually become citizens of the country for so long for so many generations they have called child strife and aljazeera culture is bizarre.

Inclusive people but others have concerns about hundreds of men from very different cultures certainly living among them.

Port up or. If i didnt you would be. Many refugees have similar stories drunk young men attack them among the locals most have sympathy for the refugees but think its time they move on or were moved on theres a billboard they belong to a different girl to a different world for a long woods. For years you still have one when. The refugees feel the same way Andrew Thomas aljazeera one man assigned in Papua New Guinea irans president has done rouhani has told syrian president Bashar Al Assad in a phone call that iran will stand by the Syrian People and the government in the fight against terrorism and reconstruction efforts iranian media is reporting rouhani told his syrian counterpart that talks to Leaders Summit in sochi was the right step at the right time for the future of syria it comes as iran russia and turkey held a trilateral meeting at a summit this week or a major diplomatic push was made to end the war in syria. Turkey says it expects u. S. President donald trump to stick to his promise not to supply weapons to syria and kurdish fighters also known as the y. P. On friday turkish president. Held a phone call with truong in which the u. S. President reportedly gave an order that weapons should no longer be supplied to the white p. T. The white house later issued a statement only saying it would quote make adjustments to its policy of arming allies in syria the Trump Administration began supplying weapons to their wipe e. G. Earlier this year before the battle to retake eyesores stronghold of iraq or turkey considers the y p g a terrorist group. One subject that negatively impacts our relationship with the us is the weapons that its given to the y. P. G. Lately weve seen that some Armored Vehicles have been supplied and our esteemed president once again reiterated his discomfort to mr trump mr trump clearly stated that he had given clear instructions that the white wont be given arms and that this nonsense should have ended a long time ago of course we were very happy with this doctors in Northern Syria are being forced underground because a frequent attacks on hospitals one facility has been built entirely below the surface at a secret location to treat patients injured by government strikes as im going to write reports in gaziantep syrias border with turkey. Farmers on the operating table because his leg was injured in an airstrike but this is no ordinary Operation Theatre its Hidden Underground so its been filled by air raids. Im afraid when the regime targets a hospital and lost a member of my family in an airstrike. Its known as the cave hospital in northern three doctors are keeping its location secret for fear of further attacks by government get. They showed us photos after some of the hundred thirty five year strikes targeted their Hospital Medical facilities and medical workers nowadays are far from being working an ideal situation there is. Just one of the main challenges has to do with witnessing. Going for a long time but at the same time it doesnt. Doesnt stop. This is what remains of many hospitals above ground so it took months of digging five hundred square meters in the mountains to convert into frequent rooms workers then plaster the walls and bags at the entrance increased security. This is the doctor who began the project he was also killed in an airstrike last year and his colleagues continue to face challenges. The biggest problem is the airstrikes which target civilians this hospital is theoretically safe but we expect anything from the government and its destructive weapons making the hospital safe is just one of the many challenges most hospitals in opposition areas suffer from a lack of medicine and other vital supplies that are to emergency exits in case of any attack being underground brings the constant challenge of maintaining the floor so doctors and patients dont suffocate. We face difficulties such as ventilation and shortages of medical supplies after securing ourselves in a cave inside a mountain because Health Care System has been largely destroyed by six years of war Preventive Care units and Health Centers are nonexistent potentially fatal diseases are common because of a lack of vaccine. Healthcare is being used as a weapon of war in syria doctors say targeting hospitals means denial of treatment and the only option to save lives is going on the ground some of the job without the zero.
