Of its 6 31 pm in tehran youre watching press tv, welcome. The usada on gaza is in its a 142nd day with continued massive aerial and artillery strikes on the basees strip. According to the Health Ministry in gaza, israely attacks have killed at least 86 palestinians in the past day. Warplanes bomb. President ial block and baitlah north of gaza, killing or injuring number of civilians. The israel army meantime has carried out multiple aaray attacks on alzature neighborhood south of gaza city, with numerous victims remaining trapped under rubble. Some 29,700 people have been killed in attacks in gaza since october 7th. Most of them are women and children. Now lets go to uh central gaza, our correspondent is there in der albela, lets see what update moti has for us regarding the situation there, yes actually the israeli occuvation forces intensified their air strikes and attacks against several areas of gaza strip but particularly gaza city, the latest Israeli Attack actually targeted a group of the Palestinian Civilians who were waiting for the convoys of the humanitarian relief heading to gaza city, dozens of the Palestinian Civilians were reportedly killed and injured. Its not worthy that this is not the first time the Israeli Occupation forces targeted target the very senior and people waiting for the humanitarian aid heading to gaza city in a way that. The palestinan people to get any real access to the basic humanitarian needs to uh to execerbate the current humanitarian catastrophic conditions there in gaza city. This in the meantime the israel incubation forces also maintain their attacks against rudan neighborhood in the same city in gaza city where another group of the palestinan civilians was targeted using the israeli fighter drones near a sheikh rudwani clinic they were gathering in order to get the need medical care the israel incubation forces starged them and killed many and killed and dangured many of them, while in a zeitoon neighborhood as you know that the Israeli Occupation forces are still beliagoring the neighborhood and its under the heavy bombardments of the israelier strikes and the Israeli Attacks of the israeli tanks on the ground, several palestinian houses were destroyed using the explosive devices, leaving at least 10 Palestinian Civilians dead over those continuous and seizeless attacks reach. This reaching the neighborhood, so we are talking about continuous and seesus attacks, birsod and practice by the Israeli Occupation forces against gaza city over the last couple of hours. In the meantime, the israeli incubation forces resume their attacks against khanuni city, and after the israeli equipation forces withdrew from the surrounding areas of nasa medical complex, dozens of the palestina dead bodies were extracted from under the rubble of those destroyed houses, as you know the surround. Areas and the vicinity of the nasa medical complex actually witnessed massive destruction and unprecedented wide scale destruction and havoc actually unfolded after those israeli tanks with the drew from the surrounding areas of the nasal medical complex complex at least 12 Palestinian Civilians were killed and their dead bodies were extracted over the last hour and they were prowed to the alexa marters hospital and part of them were prowed to the abu yusuf and najjar hospital. In rafah as the uh the the the the hospitals in khani city are still out of service over the continuous and the relentless israel attacks over the last couple of weeks in xanuni city and uh on the other hand, the Palestinian Resistance actually maintained their resistance actions against the Israeli Occupation forces and according to the latest statement of the palestinan resistance announced that they have targeted a group of the Israeli Soldiers near the eastern part of jabalia refugee camp, they have targeted them and they have sniped an israeli soldier there, while more palestinan resistance reactions actually were bursed by the basinian factions in the eastern part of khan. As multiple projectiles the mortar were launched and fired at the israeli occubation forces mobilized near the eastern part of khanuni city, so we can say that the israel incubation forces are still maintaining their air strikes and attacks against several areas of gaz strip in the same ferocity and the same ebrivalence targeting more residental buildings and more residental areas across all areas of gaz strip while the beticene and resistance is still fighting back and and and engaged in multiple. Clashes and fight back with the israeli occubition forces and apart from the attacks that have been going on instantly as you mentioned in different locations, there is also another problem and thats the the policy the tev regime has adopted in starving to death some palestinians, the reports that uh some kids and some others are simply losing their lives because theyre hungry, tell us about the food supply situation there, as you now that since the very beginning of this plural onslot on gaza, the israeli occubatian uses the salvation as a weapon of war against the Palestinian People, they are deliberately exacerbating the humanitarian conditions, depriving uh at least 600 thousand Palestinian Civilians, muslim women and children of having any real access to the basic humanitarian needs, and as you know that roughly for the sixth consecutive time the israeli incubation forces targeted the basistian. Resistance who were the Palestinian Civilians sorry who were waiting for the convoys of the humanitarian aid and relief to reach gaza city uh so its its apparent that the israeli ocupation forces want the Palestinian People there to to start and uh to deprive them of having any real access to those basic humanitarian needs and this is the the policy of the israeli occubation forces they are uh they are working by leaps and bounds to turn gaza into an unlevel place and to push the people to evacuate gaza strip entirely. Okay, appreciate that and take good care yourself. Our correspondent life for us in gaza. Now moving on, more israeli troopers have been killed in the gaza strip as palestiny resistance groups fight off the Occupation Forces on the ground. According to the israel military, two personnel, one of them a commander have been killed in the palestinian territory since saturday. They were killed in different incidents and studen and born in gaza, according to the military, fighting in the south also left an isready officer and two troopers seriously injured. The regime is confirmed the death of 239 of its forces in gaza since it began the incursion into the territory. Palestinian groups say that israel is hiding the real number of the deaths of his troops in attempt at damage control. Now figures indicating israel has been exploiting the global attention and genocide in gaza to ramp up demolition of palestinian homes in the occupied algots. During the first nine months of last year, israel destroyed 97 palestinian homes on the eastern side of the city, but since launching its deadly onslot on gaza early octoper, its bulldose 87 homes. Those figures are according to era amim a local Nonprofit Organization which monitors home demolitions inocuts. Activist sited israel is trying to drive more palestinian. Is out of eastal goods, the regime is trying to justify its much criticized practice by claiming that the houses have been built without permits, however its practically made it impossible for palestinians to obtain those documents through legal discrimination. America. As we began the selection year, i think that the United States are dont specially concerned with the way the World Economy works. The zionist regimes attack against libanon and syria demonstrate a policy of expanding military tension, precisely so. Welcome back, american and british fighter jets have staged fresh rates across yemen in their fourth joint operation against the arab country. The air strikes of the provinces of sana, tais and hadja, several locations including pesticide factory and the Communications Networks were targeted. The enemy army has meantime targeted american oil tanker and several warships with missiles and the red sea and the gulf of aiden. The mn army says those operations will continue in response to attacks by west and the uk in solidarity with palestinians in gaza. Meantime terran has denounced the latest strike sign yemen, saying washington london are seeking escalate tensions and crises in the region. The yemani people are adamant in their support for palestine, despite a us air strikes on their country. They say that yemen is fighting for gaza and will not be affected by hostile acts by israels western allies. Will not affect us, we are now fighting for gaza, we will not be deterred by the strikes the israelis and the americans, no matter what, we are used to war, we have been in war for nine years, the war will not harm us, it is either we achieve victory for palestine, or we will walk on food to palestine to free it from the israelis, your strikes will not intimidate or scare us, we will keep on supporting gaza with all the power that we have, we will not be sc the air strikes that hit us and we will not be frustrated, theyve been striking us for nine years and we will not be scared, god willing, we will get victory for gaza and palestine. Now thousands of Junior Doctors in the uk have walked off their jobs again. Its a fiveday strike, the second this year and the 10th walkout in a year over a longrunning pay dispute with the government. As said puraza reports, the stailmate has left the doctor. Is feeling demoralized, leading them to think of seeking employment abroad. No picket lines over the weekend here, but the strike action is on. Thousands of National Health service Junior Doctors who form half of the doctors workforce in england walk off the job. Their demands the same as the last time we talked to them. Because of this erosion of pay over all this time weve been seeing problems with Staff Recruitment and retention and weve been. People either out of medicine completely or to other countries that are willing to recruit us and pay us basically the rates we were being paid 15 years ago and so the message from the vma has always been to try and get that pay back to 2008 levels. In other words a 35 pay rise to make up for previous below inflation pay rises. An extra 3 top of the average of nearly 9 received last year was being discussed before talks between the government. And the bma, the trade union for doctors, broke down in december, but the walkouts come a cost, theyre happening a critical time of year when hospitals are especially busy dealing with the challenges of the coal season and with an nhs waiting list a staggering 7. 6 million. Over 1. 3 million hospital appointments had to be rescheduled since the industrial action began over year ago. And yet the striking doctors continue to enjoy the support of over half of britains. The doctors say theyre doing this to bring the Government Back to the negotiating table and to get it to recognize their value. Theyre also saying that feeling undervalued and being underpaid is pushing them to seek jobs abroad. The bma says four in 10 doctors plan to leave the nhs at the first opportunity. The. Government says it wont negotiate while the strikes are ongoing. Theres an overall focus on privatization, which means the Health Care Insurance companies will be taking over many aspects of the running and resources of health, and thats led to record low wages, especially compared to a massive inflation and cost of living crisis, so that it no longer justifies the cost of training in terms of the actual remuneration. Medical students are leaving with medical school with 100,00 pounds worth of debt and theyre not looking to that off for well over decade, whereas if they go to other countries simply next door, ireland or australia, they can immediately double their way. The British Government seems nowhere near loosening its per strings, but the consensus is that the longer these strikes grind on, the wider the damage. Press tv, london.
