On gaza, at least six people were killed in air strikes and shootings by Israeli Forces whove been targeting civilians in central gaza. In the west of gaza city, israely forces once again open fire on civilians waiting for a trucks, killing at least five people and injuring over 20 others. Meanwhile, malnutrition and dehydration continue to recavoc on the local population. 15yearold teenager and a 72yearold palestinian man have died in two hospitals due to lack of water. And food, the gaza medical sources say number of people dying for malnutrition and dehydration has surged to 20, more than 30,700 gazons, most of them women and children have been killed since israely onslot started on october 7th. Press tvs joined us earlier from central gaza city of dear abalah for an update. The israeli accubition forces committed at least nine opponing massacers against the Palestinian Civilians across different areas of of gaz strip over the last 24 hours claiming of the lives of at least uh 86 Palestinian Civilians and injuring 113 others uh its worth mentioning that the israeli killing machine continues claiming more lives of the Palestinian Civilians over the last couple of hours the israel incubation force intensified their attacks against the central area of gaza strip as at least seven Palestinian Civilians were reportedly killed uh in addition to 10 injuries after the israeli incubation forces opened their gun fire towards the Palestinian Civilians gathering near gaza valley area located between the the central area of gaza strip and gaza city uh its worth mentioning that that area particularly the northern parts of anusarati fiji camp and almograga neighborhood uh uh witnessed harsh israeli attacks against that area, including the consecutive and the continuous israeli air strikes and the constant israeli artillery shilling uh destroying more zenter buildings and uh resulting more devastation in the infrastructure there and in the meantime here in balah city the israeli incubation forces destroyed another residental buildings after the israeli war planes destroyed and leveled to the ground that building. Its located in the south, the southern part of their balah city, south africa once again asks the International Court of justice to take additional emergency measures against israel, a mid regimes Genocidal Campaign in gaza. South africa urged the world court to stop an imminent tragedy and save gazans from dying of starvation. It also warn about the threat of looming all out famon in the war ravaged territory. Pretoria urged. The world court to force israel to take immediate and effective measures to enable the provisions of desperately needed humanitarian aid into gaza, says such measures must be taken without new round of hearings because of the extreme urgency of the situation in the coastal territory. In the case followed by south africa in january, the icj had ordered israel to refrain from any acts that could fall under the genocide convention. Norway says that many countries that are pause Financial Support for the un agency for Palestinian Refugees unra are likely to resume funding soon. Norway, top donor. Says many unresponsors of agreed funding needs to be resumed. Unra says none of the 16 donor countries that had frozen their funding have yet to resume it. This while iraq and qatar say theyll give an extra funds of 25 million to the agency. Under sacked dozen of his staff following israeli claims. They took part in the hamas operation against israel early october. Several countries, including the us and uk paused funding to the agency following those allegations. Agency has strongly denied the claim saying israel has obtained confessions from its staff under torture and arrests. Its a warrant of deliberate and Concerted Campaign aimed at ending its gaza operations. Earlier we ask investigative journalist tony gossing why funding to unra has been suspended by doner countries and why it was uh suspended in the first place. And heres what he had to say. The fact is that these were just allegations, and the countries that went along with this will look at the main countries, uh, United States, united kingdom, uh, canada, australia, new zealand, well who is this along with israel, its the five Eyes Intelligence Services of the anglozionist empire, and so theyre not really re testing the um, information the israelis have put out about unra uh and and alleged links to the seventh of. October, they are simply doing knee jerk reaction uh, which is actually complicit with the genocide. Uh, the other countries, france, holland, germany, sweden, italy, um, romania, estonia, finland, these are now nato countries, so were looking at the anglosanist countries and nato being the ones to try to stop food getting through uh to the palestinians. International humanitarian organizations has been raising the alarm over the unfolding crisis in gaza and mid ongoing israel. United nations has already dubbed gaza as most dangerous place in the world to be a child. Since october 7th, tens of thousands of Palestinian Civilians in the gaza strip have fallen victim to the israeli genocidal aggression. The ones that have born the brunt the honestlot the most are children that comprise almost half of the 2. 3 million population of the coastal sliver. The United Nations has described the gaza strip as a graveyard for thousands of children. The Health Ministry in gaza has reported that over 12 . Thousand palestinian children have been killed in israeli attacks so far. That means one palestinian child is killed every 15 minutes or about one out of every 100 children in the gaza strip. The most horrific scenes are also the bombed out buildings where thousands are buried under the rubble, most of them presume dead. For those children who have survived these really a slot, at least for now, things couldnt be worse than living without their families. According to onra, around 17,00 children in gaza are orphaned. They have to live the rest of their lives if they are lucky enough to survive, with the trauma of losing their loved ones, that also under the shadow of israels crippling blockade. The span of israels genocidal activities is not limited to gaza alone. Elsewhere in the occupied west bank, at least 420 palestinians have been killed by Israeli Forces or settlers. The. Palestinian Health Ministry in the west bank says at least 110 of them were children. The latest victim of the Israeli Aggression in the occupied west bank was a 10yearold boy who was shot directly in the head during an israeli raid. Rights organizations and eight agencies have raised the alarm over the moral and legal aspects of the military tactics used by tel aviv. Israel has been facing mounting criticism for shelling and bombing residential areas leading to high. Civilian casualties. Israel has so far defied calls as well as an interim order by the International Court of justice a genocide case filed against the regime. Ironically israel is being supplied with lethal weapons despite criticism from several International Bodies including the un for the transfer of arms and ammunition to the regime to be used against gozans. Investigations have uncovered that israel has used us mate ammunitions and its strikes. On palestinians, despite calls for an end to military support and aid to israel, its key ally the us reaffirmed on monday that it will keep providing military assistance to israel, so. So apparently american missiles and bombs are going to continue to rain down on gazan children, yet there is a more gradual sort of maskilling of children in gaza, with israel blocking the delivery of aid required to save children suffering from acute malnutrition. It is now crystal clear, israel regime is using starvation as a weapon of war against palestinians in gaza, un. Has warned of eminent explosion of child deaths in the coastal territory with reports of a surge and number of children fatalities due to starvation, thats why israels been blocking humanitarian aid from entering gaza. Gazan children are not only dying from bombs, but they are mostly vulnerable to the crippling siege. Many palestinian children have already starved to death in gaza over the. Past few days due to the us israel siege. The United Nations Children Agency has warned that such deaths will rapidly increase if restrictions continued on humanitarian aid deliveries. Unicef regional director for middle east and north africa said numerous reported child deaths in gaza are manmade, predictable and entirely preventable. The Widespread Lack of food, safe water and medical services as well as problemhead un humanitarian operations is. Impacting children and even mothers who are unable to breastfeed their babies, especially in northern gaza. More and more children have been starving to death as the israeli maid famin gradually takes hold. According to the United Nations, one child in every six below the age of two is already acutely malnourished. It supplies already sharply curtailed by the regime since the start of the anneslot have dwindled to barely a trickle over the past month. Swaths of the territory are completely cut off from food. Gazas few functioning hospitals already overwhelmed by the wounded are now filling with malnourished children. There are cases of severe dehydration. This reflects negatively on the children, the mothers cannot breastfeed their children. We do not have formula milk and this has led to the death of children here at the intensive care unit. Also in the nursery, there are numerous thesses. Since early october the televis. Regime has cut off the free flow of water, food, fuel and power to the gaza strip, placing restrictions on the flow of International Aid there. Aid agencies like onra are struggling to help gazans who are under incessant israeli bombardments. Ironically, the United States and other allies of israel continue to turn a blind eye to the regimes indiscriminate aerial and ground assaults on palestinians. Ordinary people, not a statesman, are horrified by images. Of dead and wounded palestinian children and women, that is a proof of these countries complicity in the Israeli Regimes crimes, as they keep providing it with weapons or blocking funds meant to alleviate the suffering of palestinians. Us decision to air draw food to starving palestinians is being seen by many as a tactive to give the impression america cares and it is a good well uh good will that is gesture but move is likely to backfire as a Current Us Administration is under fire at home and abroad for its support for israels campaign of genocide and blocking us resolutions a gaza seesfire. So lets take a look at some of the facts surrounding aid deliveries to gaza. The us has carried out its first air drop of humanitarian aid for gaza. Many are questioning the logic behind the us move since israel has limited the entry of aid into the gaza strip like food stuff. It also uh puts into question the real intentions behind the uss move since it continues to militarily assist the israely regime. First, look at the scale of the hunger. Its categorized under food. Security, 2. 2 million are facing crisis levels or worse levels of food in security. 1. 17 million are facing emergency levels of food insecurity, and around half million. Now thats 500,000 are facing food, insecurity or starvation. Now lets look at how many trucks have delivered aid to the gaz strip. This graph shows that figure a daily basis for the months of january and february. Now keep in mind, that uh these are un figures, it hit an alltime high of only 199 on february the 16th and an alltime low on uh the fourth of four that is. Thats the next day, thats february the 17th. These are not even close to fulfilling the daily needs of the palestinians in the gaza strip. Well, this graph gives an idea of how short these aid truck deliveries are, and the uh the overall delivery timeline, even though aid was resumed, like on october the 21st and during the truth, which happened on november 24th through december the 1st, it didnt come close to what the precrisis figure was. Which was around 500 truck loads average per day per working day, that is in 2023, and interestingly enough, that number decreased from 500 to only 90 trucks daily, thats down 40 since the icj ruling, well heres what the aid agency onroa had to say about the aid deliveries. Onroa hasuh been complaining of not being able to deliver aid recently, in a tweet on x, formally known twitter which was posted on february the 25th, it said the uh last time it was able to deliver food aid to Northern Gaza Strip was on january the 23rd. Now like other eight agencies, it also claimed that israel had been delaying deliveries. Well now we reach uh the us aid deliveries which were air dropped. The us along with the Royal Jordanian air force carried out the air dropped a point here is the date uh thats sunday march the 3rd. It took the us that long to decide that it should help starving palestinians, then the number of meals, thats around 38,00 miles, which were parachuted in by three military planes. Only 38,00 miles, as we just stated earlier, at least 500 thousand palestinians are facing starvation, not hunger, thats starvation, that means theyre dying. Well, this former usaid director to the west bank, dave harden, was very critical about the us move. Of you shared by many, he said, the airdrops are symbolic and designed in ways to appease the domestic base, adding the us sas the ability to compel israel to open up more aid. He also said, really, what needs to happen is more crossings need to open and more trucks need to go in every day. Well, hardens statement of aid piling up at the crossings is an understatement. There is aid waiting at the crossings, but israel has prevent them from entry, there are 2,000 trucks waiting to get into gaza at border crossings, this is while food and medicine has piled up for months past their expiration date. Us hypocrisy is also on full display when it comes to air dropping food, the venue being the United Nations. The us has used its veto power three times, thats three times preventing a ceasefire or truce from taking place, contributing to the starvation that is unfolding there, and uh, heres a before and after picture of uh this palestinian child starving to death in the Northern Gaza Strip, at least at last count, that is 18 palestinians have starved to death, the figure which may even rise, the u. S. Supplying the Israeli Regime with weapons and bombs has uh led to this, which brings about the question, how can the us continue to live with itself . Started 8 years ago with ukraines terror bombing of don yesk an exclusive documentary on pressed tv now uh of course ukraine has been shelling donjetzk for months now indeed its mitally for the last eight years when theyre not trying to hit military targets they focus on civilian targets. British filmmaker Johnny Miller goes to the region to delve into the heart of the conflict. Between the two neighboring countries. Welcome back everyone youre watching press tv world news. Now hamas says blastted israely expansion is plans in the occupied west bank saying israels plans to build thousands of new settler units near alcuz proves regimes intention to bring palestinians land or Palestinian Land that is under control. The movement added, israel wants to isolate the palestinian nation by building a network of settlements throughout the occupied territories. Hamos also noted telviv wants to prevent palestinians from establishing their own state. With alkuz as its capital. Has advanced plans to build another 3,500 settler units east of alcuz. All israeli settlements are illegal under international law, and some 700 thousand israelis currently live in around 160 settlements built on occupied Palestinian Land. Theny army says carried out fresh attacks against a us the naval forces the yemani armed forces carry out an operation against a ship, an American Ship in the gulf of aiden with number of appropriate naval missiles and the targets were hit accurately, thank god, which led to the ship in being engolfed in flames. Yahya said he said attacks came after american cargo ship ignored warning calls to stop for inspection, he streressed operation was in response earlier air strikes by the us and uk on yemen cities and also in solidarity with gazans a yemany forces have targeted over two dozen israeli linked vessels in the red sea since the beginning of the regimes onslot on gaza. So stress its Naval Operations will continue until israely war comes to an end and its siege on gaza is lifted. The First International conference on Family Health is underway in the iranian capital. Today event is turned into an opportunity for participating countries to familiarize themselves with irans National Health program described by the World Health Organization as successful model. Kisumisha ahmedi has your story. Health diplomacy. Full swing, irans successful national Family Health program and referral system, detailed for healthcare officials from 14 countries as they take part in Panel Discussions on the second day of the First International conference on Family Health, dubbed pac for uac, in other words, elaborating on how primary healthcare can be oriented to provide universal health coverage. Well, i think iran has lot of what i might call demonstration projects, it has lot to demonstrate and show, not only at the gross level of of the health the population, but individual efforts in primary care and how primary care can move forward, and i think that one can also say that iran is humble enough to say that they have more to accomplish, and thats a thats a model for other countries, basically everything. From the day one up to now, its interesting because lot is being learned from iran, what they are doing, actually what they are trying to do, especially on healthcare, its so interesting that uh iran is moving with the technology, i came to know that more than 90 of the physicians or health care practitioners, they are using eprescription, so that is a great sign and i could actually im very hopeful by these small small components one day, its very soon we will have a complete Digital Health ecosystem. Going back to back to countries to our countries, we can implement some of the recommendations and we can take also with us some experience from the other countries, at the same time we share our experience what we are good in and present it in these conferences. That is why this conference. Can be considered an essential step for achieving the who Sustainable Development goals or in short 2030 sdgs. Iran is the first country in the region to start healthy cities in 1991 in three settlements in tehran. I think the movement is very well taken in iran and we are close to 2030 and achieving sdg. This will be an opportunity to have all the sectors including the comm. I think iran they develop too much in the Health Sector and we try to cooperate with with iran too in the Health Sector and we appreciated that the minister of of iran uh attended a conference in qatar last week. The success of irans uac plan which relies greatly its wellfunctioning pac network as demonstrated in International Conference can pave the way for stronger bilateral relations with participating countries. The participants of this conference are impressed with the level of development of irans healthcare sector. And theyre hoping that their bilateral relations with iran will allow them to achieve similar goals. Kisum shahmadi press tv, thats it for your ladies here on press tv, everyone, thanks for tuning in and goodbye for now. In 2022, i spent five months living in russian control donyetzk in the dunbas region. I witness first hand the Ukrainian Army targeting and killing civilians whom it claims to be its own citizens. Now uh, of course, ukraine has been shelling donietsk uh for months now, indeed in italy for the last eight years, when theyre not trying to hit military targets, they focus on civilian targets. It is story that is crucial in understanding the russiaukraine war. I firmly believe that by listening to the experiences of civilians on both sides, the world can better find avenues to peace
