Israels campaign in gaza has been among deadliest and most destructive campaigns of genocide weve ever seen. Thousands of human losses, the air raids have also damage totally destroyed all types of structures, including homes, mosks, schools and medical centers. We take a closer look at this issue and our explainer program. The us is really on slot on the gaza strip is one of the most destructive genocidal air campaigns ever, raising entire neighborhoods to the ground, killing tens of thousand. And causing damage that could take decades to repair, well the structural devastation is almost as shocking as the loss of lives itself, drawing reactions from many world leaders, like this one from the eu Foreign Policy chief joseph barall who said this destruction is one of the most intense in history, comparable, if not higher to levels of destruction of german cities during the second world war, the source of the damage is due to the u. S. Bomb. That have been dropped in the gaza strip, in total, 70,00 tons of these explosives have been dropped in the gaza strip. This number is surely to rise since the Israeli Regime will be receiving new batch of us 50200 pound bombs. Well, the destruction of buildings, damaged or destroyed, is mapped out here in this map. The largest destruction has occurred in northern gaza, 81 of the total buildings there. Uh in terms of the number 37,100, the grand total amounts to 177,000, its kind of hard to see here, but that accounts for 61. 1 the total buildings in the gaza strip. This is what has been fact checked, other figures are much higher than this. Now when it comes to the types of buildings, damaged or destroyed, thats very important, these figures show that some of the notable ones, the press headquarters at 165. Schools including universities coming in at 405 and then you have mosks 227 and heres the one that hurts the most 244 medical facilities and hospitals keep in mind that these are the ones that have been completely destroyed then comes the infrastructure destruction 250 km of roads thats 78 of the total roads 130 wells 56. 2 and 130 kilometers of Water Networks 84. 4 and then the soul gaza power plants, the only power plant in the gaza strip out of service, especially due to lack of fuel. This is why gazins are fighting for their lives, actually. Well, israel is also after erasing palestines heritage in the gaza strip, some of the examples of that that we picked, monasteries, mosks, churches, palaces, archaeological hills and historic houses, you can see the figures there, the one that stands out here was the historic houses, as matter of. Fact this one here, the great ari mask, its built in the 12th century and one of the most important and largest historical mosques in palestine, gone. Naturally, some are asking, what is israel after . Well, this is what many media organizations have said, quote, israel wants to make the gaza strip unfit for human habitation in the hopes that there will be large scale immigration for the ethnic cleansing of gazas palestinian population. This is what many. Organizations believe is israels intense, and yemen a Diverse Group of politicians, academics and scholars have conven for second conference entitled, youre not alone in the capital city, sonna press tvs abdul latif alwashali reports, titled you are not alone, the second palestine the nation central issue conference. From yeminist scholars, academics and politicians as well as a chosen group of global supporters who align with the palestinian cause and oppose israeli aggression. This academic scientific conference. Seeks to raise awareness in the islamic nation and remind people of their true enemy. If our nation reaches full awareness, it will follow the speech of imam komeini and his call for the islamic nation to come out on International Quds day. Arabs and muslims must realize their duties in relation to different situations, so that our nation can rise with all dignity. If we do not show an honorable position today, ahmed what gaza is suffering from israeli crimes and oppression, then there is no good in us. The significance of such gatherings and advocating for the palestinian cause on an International Level was underscored, particularly following the United NationsSecurity Councils inability to stop israels genocide in gaza despite a recent resolution. There is no doubt that this conference is gaining very great momentum and comes a time when gaza is suffering from ongoing injustice and aggression and also in light of the approaching international. Ots day, this is the day that yemeny masses go out to send the message to the world that the palestinian cause is still live in the hearts of muslims, especially the yemani people, and that it will not die no matter how hard the zionist enemy tries to kill and annihilated, organizing the lead up to the celebration of International Quds day in yemen, a day designated by the founder of irans Islamic Revolution, ayatullah khumaini to annually mobilize the worlds of free people in support of. The palestinian cause since the beginning of the israeli genosader war on gaza official and Public Events to show solidarity with the oppressed people of palestine have continued unabated. Many here believe that palestine would always remain the central cause of the nation as long as palestinian territories remain under israeli occupation. Housing prices throughout the west have gotten so high that many people have given up on the idea of ever owning a home in europe protests are being held to demand more Government Intervention on the issue of building more Affordable Housing. Robin mahery has your story out of paris. In a statistic which may amaze and anger those in their 20s and 30s, in 1973 the average french person dedicated just 10 of their income to housing. In places like lisbon that. Is now 63 as the housing situation across europe is being called the worst it has been in 70 years. With winter prohibitions on evictions ending with the arrival of spring, protests are being held across europe against the lack of Affordable Housing. Houses are made for living in and not for financial speculation. This is a fundamental truth which has been forgotten by successive french governments. They have turned their back on the many victims of our long running housing crisis and across europe its the same. Whats worse is that theyll have many people evicted by landlords looking to cash out tourist money for the summer olympics. One out of four french people suffer from serious housing problem, so its no surprise that better housing has been a top issue for voters in election after election. Theres a real lack of decent new and safe housing in france and europe, as much of our stock dates from after world war ii. Laws requiring that 20 of lodgings be made available to lower income citizens is not inforced, and we just dont see that the government cares about the incredible difficulty of finding Affordable Housing here in france. In paris, housing prices are up backbreaking 70 since 2009, the start of the great financial crisis and the failed response of far right economic austerity. The hiking of Interest Rates in 2022 caused. Some housing markets in europe to decline slightly, but others continue to rise. That also caused building cost to sore, reducing private construction. Housing groups insist that lodging issues could be fixed nationwide in just five to 10 years, if the governments laws favored renters and regular citizens instead of land owners and real estate speculators. The primary culporate seems to lie in the refusal of rightwing economic. To allow governments to invest tax revenue in building more affordable real estate and also in the vast selloffs to private corporations of Government Housing since the 1980s.
