Now a its steak, listen to comments by some palestinian parents and medics explaining how in malnutrition is affecting children in gaza. There is no proper food for the mothers, especially in the recent period, as we noticed that since december until today, there are no babies with normal weights, most of them are from 2 kilograms to 2 and a 2. We stopped seeing babies weighing 3 kilograms as in the recent period, the last four months since october until today. There is no nutrition for mothers, there is no meat, milk, eggs, fruits or vegetables. Im a mom who lost her son due to malnutrition, due to circumstances were going through in gaza, you can see for yourself where we leave in a School Inside a 3 meter tent right in front of toilets, what are you expecting from a sick child living in such conditions, how can he get better than alcafarna who passed away was displaced from the. North and he originally had issues with his muscles, but his health was acceptable, he used to receive proper treatment and healthy food, but with the lack of food after the war began, he got worse, at least five palestinians including children have lost their lives after being hit by uh air dropped aid in the besieged gaza strips, several others were also injured, the incident occurred when parachutes used to air drop the aid did not o causing the boxes to fall on palestinians gathering in large crowds to collect them. Several countries, including the us and france air dropped aid packages over gaza on friday and mit an over and ever worsening rather humanitarian crisis there. This says International Humanitarian organizations have slammed such form of delivery as a pr stunt and holy insufficient to meet the daily needs of starving palestinians in the beleague. Story march the 8th marks, International Womens day an occasion women across the world celebrate and also used to push for their rights, but the situation is different in gaza, there women along with children make up most of the casualties caused by the israeli warrant face a worsening humanitarian situation. Lets take a listen to some of the comments by women in gaza. We face the. Of bombings endure harsh conditions, intense and suffer from extreme weather, that leaves no room to celebrate, women worldwide eagerly of await and celebrate this day, whereas cousins live in tens and are deprived of rights and unable to celebrate it, im a woman who lost an eye due to bombardment, we are constantly being relocated from one tent to another, moving from one region to the next, displaced and weve experienced the loss of our homes and our children who are martered. Our hope is to one day celebrate womens day in our home town on the ordinary circumstances. Well now in beirot, women have gathered in front the un womens headquarters to slam the u. S. Israely genocide and draw attention to the plight of their fellow palestinians. Its take a listen to what some of the demonstrators had to say. We, arab women, are not slaves and if these colonial institutions wont do anything, let them leave. Its enough, we cant keep living normal life with what is happening, no free person in the world. No free person in the United States, europe or arab world can tolerate what is happening. Palestine is free and will stay free. Today is International Womens day and is a celebration for women taking their rights and not being marginalized, but we are here today to support palestinian women as they are now living in war, violence and pain insist that we wont celebrate if palestinian women do not take their rights. Are here to support palestinian women who are exposed to war, to celebrate womens day and be happy that women are taking their rights and be more empowered. We should defend palestinian women to be able to participate and celebrate International Womens day with us. Were protesting in front of the un womens headquarters in beirut because its International Womens day and we can celebrate today and talk about the advancement of women and investment in women around the world when theres a genus. Site happening in gaza when the women of gaza are suffering from the worst and greatest forms of torture, physically, mentally and healthwise, they are being subjected to exploitation, starvation, impoverishment, displacement and genocide. Palestinian resistance fighters continue to fend off invading israeli troops across the besseged gaza strip, the military wing of hamas says it is strucky contingent of six Israeli Soldiers causing casualties among them. The algasson brigade says, the forces were hiding a building in kannus in southern ghaza and in the north the brigade says it launched more tar shells a gathering of the regimes troops near the edras crossing in betton. According to israeli media, the resistance operations have killed a total of 247 soldiers since the beginning of Ground Fighting in gaza in late october. Palestinian resistance groups however say the actual number is much higher. The largest Muslim Civil Rights Organization in the us criticizes President Joe Biden over his stance on uh the genocide in the humanitarian situation in gaza. The council on American Islamic relations zone is care issued a statement its ex account after biden made his state of the union speech had called on biden to stop playing both firefighter and arsenist during the gaza genocide. The organization said biden should stop air dropping food on gaza while simultaneously sending weapons to israel. Care urged the us president to secure a real cease fire in gaza. On thursday, biden spoke about humanitarian assistance in gaza during his final state of the union speech as president , he told congress at israel should not use uh the aid as a bargaining chip. Israel must allow more aid in the god to ensure humanitarian workers arent caught in the crossfire. Theyre announcing theyre going to. Theyre going to have a cross in the northern gaza. The leadership of israel, i say this humanitarian assistance cannot be secondary consideration or bargaining chip, protecting and saving innocent lives. Was biden was speaking, some of the audience held blackards calling for a ceasefire in gaza and a stop to weapons delivery to israel outside. There were similar calls as well, protesters gathered waving palestinian flags and expressing anger at biden for supporting. The gaza genocide, his administration has been lending all support to uh israel from giving weapons and money to blocking Un Security Council resolutions a cease fire in gaza. A new reported by the Washington Post reveals that the us has quietly made over 100 weapon sales to israel since the gaza war began. Thats besides a hundreds of millions of dollars sales of weapons to israel that biden initiated without congressional approval. We earlier joined by palestinian scientists and who gave us some insight into joe biden state the union address. He said contrary to the us president s claim of intending to help palestinians in gaza, its the us that is blocking aid to gaza. Biden is a long life zionist, not because of conviction or because of uh what he believes. Its because like most of the politicians. In the western world in socalled you know the United States of america built and stolen native lands, that that country is run by basically some people who are now run by the zionist lobby, this is a person who poured fuel on the fire and then claims that israel should put down parts of the fire, he is the one whos fueling this fire, the us is the one who is fueling this fire. My comment on biden that he is, its finished, basically is going to lose the election, trump is of course worse than him he biden said the state of the union is strong, i say the state of the union, United States is weak, and it will be finished under trump. There are over 200 trucks piled up on rafa ready to enter gaza to provide aid for the people of gaza and they are being prevented. With one phone call, the us president could make Israel Netanyahu allow entry weid into gaza. But the us supports the blockage of aid into gaza, theres a genocide going on, a genocide by blockaid, the genocide by siege, genocide by bombing, genocide by denying of medical aid, as i said, its hypocritical, its cynical, it is disgusting for us palestinians here in the occupied territories, when i hear joe biden speak. For the United States, i think he has this right, israel is kind of permanent, permanently anchored um Aircraft Carrier uh and his purposes to uh ensure that us foreign policies in india in the middle east are carried out, fall uh in the palestinian uh Economic Activity of Something Like 80 . Welcome back, there is no letup in israeli atrocities in the occupied west bank as the regime pushes ahead with its genocide in the gaza strip, a palestinian has now died after being injured and abducted by israeli troops in jenin, our correspondent mondy joined us earlier from ramala for more on uh this latest israeli crime. This time the Israeli Forces committed get another crime the palestinians in Israeli Forces stormed town with gen and surrounded a home of Palestinian Muhammad from he is a former prisoner and israels the claim that he was wanted by the israelis and he is member of the ad movement. For several hours the israel troops surrounded the Human Exchange of fire have taken place between the palestinians and the Israeli Forces, but unfortunately muhammad was shalabe was shot and wounded and the israel had detained him with two more palestinians after several hours the Israeli Military informed the palestinians and the Palestinian Commission of prisoners affairs. Said that Muhammad Shalabi second to his injuries as the israels informed him that he was shot, wounded and then he second his injuries and thus we are declaring new morter. The number of palestinians who had been killed by the Israeli Forces since the 7th of october, today is 425 palestinians here in the occupied west bank, the majority of course were shot and killed during military. Rates to palestinian areas at the military check points. The un human rights chief warns at expansion of israeli settlements and the occupied palestinian territories amounts to a war crime under international law. Volker turks said israeli settlements have expanded by a record amount. He said that means the regime wants to transfer its own population into the occupied land. The un official added that the growth of settlements risks eliminating any practical possibility of palestinian state. He made the comments in a report to the Un Human Rights Council turk said palestinians are being forced from their homes by israeli settler and state violence. He added the violence and settlement related violations have reached shocking new levels, all israeli settlements in the occupied palestinian territories are illegal under international law. Well tensions remain high along lebanons southern border where hezbollah resistance fighters are engaged in intense fighting with Israeli Forces. In the most recent development, the Lebanese ResistanceGroup Carried out missile attacks against israeli targets in the hills of kafshuba. The group says the operation is in response to earlier israeli drone attack on the southern town of itasha. For more on this, were now joined by our correspondent in the lebanese capital beirot, mariam sal mariam. What do you have to share with us and our viewers . Well bardia, routine day operations, but there were of course several significant tits, were talking about uh three times that husbalah targeted Israeli Soldiers in three different locations, were talking about where they used specifically uh the fall one rocket uh and said that they scored direct hits which could probably have led to scores of Israeli Soldiers either killed or wounded and of course as is routine as well they target the posts in the fushuba hills on the shabah farms which are adent each other they targeted the waisatul post specifically but the most significant operation uh was that they targeted the artillery launching sites the israelis in the settlement of dishuon with tens ofitusha rockets, the israelies themselves said that between 10 to 15 kachusha rockets were fired towards uh that settlement and hazballah said that that specifically is in retaliation to the israeli shelling of several civilian uh towns and separate civilian areas and the destruction of civilian houses now the israelis of course launched heavy shelling in the towns of kin, hala, shab as well as jabal and barashit, the heaviest shelling was from last night and today was against mejal zuwan where there was a lot of destruction, the the ambulances had feared that there would be civilian casualties, fortunately there were no civilian casualties in that area, now theres also another very significant element which is playing out here in lebanon on the political side, with the uh visit of the us envoy, you have some groups, some political factions that were considered foes of hazbul, foes of the resistance, even during the 2006 we saw that some of them put their hands in the hands of the us secretary of state gondoleza rice at the time of the george w. Bush administration, indirectly giving a green light to the israeli war, now you see most of those who are in power, those political factions, especially for example the dres leader wallat, he said that the u. S. Cannot enforce upon lebanon, israeli conditions, and so that means that the us envoy had been trying to get concessions from the lebanese side, of course hezballah has not succumbed to any of those concessions, but also seems that the lebanese government is also standing very firm when it comes to its call for a hulk to the war in gaza and that would also lead to a halt of the operations here in london, so that is very significant as we look at uh the fact that the any prospects for a truth are also dying out, you also have the mil military issue, which is very important, the fact that the israelies are talking about how hezballah is attempting to find all the launching sites and the platforms up the iron dome system and trying to to target them, hazbillah has declared they have targeted them at least twice, now were talking about the fact that this in itself is very significant, it would be detrimental for the israeli since it would kill their. Prospects for a possible invasion of lebanon and all the warnings and threats they have given, since of course it is for them very significant to have airpower, fire power before they attempt to launch any invasion, and so it seems hizbillah is attempting to find all the weak spots of the israelis and trying to basically kill that out with the fact that we have reports coming out from the israelis that they have lock in the rockets that are for the iron dome system and that of course is gives us the. Does keep thanks lot mariam press tvs mariam sal joining us from the lebanese capital bayrut. Also, the cease fire talks in cairo between hamas and israel have ended without a breakthrough. The negotiations are reportedly set to resume next week, but hopes are dim uh for a result, especially before ramadan. Earlier in our Explainer Program we discussed the issue in details. Lets take a listen. Now theres a real push for a temporary ceasefire or a temporary truth to take place before ramadan when it comes to the us israel genocidal aggression. The us and the Israeli Regime while giving the impression that they are after a cease fire are still continuing with the genocidal war full steam ahead, as of punishing the palestinian side to succumb to their terms. Now at this point, hamas has received the draft proposal of the deal and has agreed to some of the terms. Now taking a look at the first stage in terms of what it would cover, well based on the ceasefire which in the first stage is going to take place, the time frame is 40 days, as you see here. In order for that to happen, both parties need to stop their military operations. Completely, including israels aerial Reconnaissance Operations over the gaza strip and for it to stop for 8 hours a day. Then comes the issue of detainees, which has been one of the toughest issues actually to resolve. Now there has been an agreement on what types of israeli captives will be released uh taking a look at what was agreed upon, you have women, children under the age of 19, the elderly aged 50 years and above, and the sick with ratio of 10 to1, obviously 10 times more equals 400, the number of palestinian prisoners which will need to be released. Now keep in mind that this ratio was 3 to1 in the previous tr. Israel has said if more than 40 are released, more days will be added to the cease fire, and thats an important point. Now this ratio is important due to the number of palestinian prisoners that israel has languishing in their jails. Its good to have reminder of that, israel has about 13, palestinian. Prisoners, how do we get to that total . Well, before the aggression, you had 5,000 that were languishing in the jails and then since october 7th you have uh what 8,00, obviously the grand total there being 13,00 palestinian prisoners, so uh, this somewhat gives the appearance that its detaining palestinians to give it more bargaining power, well not to the issue of israely Regime Forces withdrawal and the return of palestinians after commencing the first phase, israel is. Said to reposition his forces away from the densely Populated Areas in the gaza strip. Once Something Like that happens, again if theres a seasfire temporary one at that, which will be agreed up on, then you have a palestinians, which will then have a right to gradually return to what is said to be the northern part of the gaza strap. Now theres a precondition there except met of military service which are aged above to the northern gaza strip. Now the humanitarian. There is a big need for eight supplies and the following is whats on the table, the commitment thats being made, and this is a minimal, in order to provide for the needs of palestinians youre looking at 500 trucks a daily of humanitarian aid, now the current number is way below the required amounts ranging from none to tens of trucks. Theres also commitment to provide tents, 200 thousand of them is whats been hashed out and also for caravan. Are in different areas with different groups, different resistance groups in the gaza strip, so thats another reason why that list has not been released, and then finally he has said, we have called for a ceasefire, okay, in order to be able to collect the data, so these are all very logical stances that hamas has taken on that request and demand by israel, well the latest is that the United States is preparing a new ceasefire resolution to submit to the Un Security Council, in it what uh it has backed is immediate uh uh ceasefire of which it would uh last six week in duration. Also the release of all captives, its all for that obviously, and the support of the ongoing negotiations on the ground. Uh, linda, thomas greenfield, the Us Ambassador to the un, is uh um circulating this text to then be officially submitted. Now the u. S. Hypocracy however is in full display when it comes to palestinians that are getting killed. For example, from a. Food and medicine, why . Well check out this most recent entry which uh reveals us hypocricy when it comes to military assistance. Just came out yesterday, us has quietly approved more than 100 weapons package for israel, amounting to thousands of munitions since the onslot began, thousands these bombs, the us has approved somewhat without making any noise about it. Next up, the video, as you saw, three of them by the un, and then this, the us request for a ceasefire, was not a permanent one, so uh, we can see that thats something hamas is requiring, but the us is only opting for a uh, not a permanent ceasefire, which puts again us hypocrisy at play. And thats a wrap for now, but stick around, theres plenty more to come here on pressy. Crisis.

The Israeli Occupation demonstrates its hatred on houses of the lord. This mask was reduced to rubble by f16 warjet. The raid led to the destruction of the houses around the mask. Causing the fall of marchers and injuries amongst neighbors of the mosk. The palestinians did not stand on the romans of the masks idly, but they created temporary masks that dont protect them from neither the cold of winter, nor the heat of the summer. Fighting for democracy while ignoring the state of this union is genocide and people say that this country is divided. Up with liberation up up with liberation with occupation down with occupation why do the baby sound it now put the feet so were all free aku bukan artis membuat berita. As the us is really genocidal war completes his fifth month, Economic Indicators on the west bank show dismal performance, strangled by palestinian worker restrictions and the Israeli Regime holding to Palestinian Authority tax revenues, well the future looks them, especially since the violence continues in the occupied west bank. Hi, im kavid taghley, welcome to economic divide. Coming up in this program, we will take a look at the warning that was issued by the world bank when it came to the west bank economy. Now one of them is crossborder wages of 5. 5 billion dollars thats been affected uh by whats going on in the west bank, that is obviously a big worry for the palestinian economy. Next, one of the factors that has contributed to this is
