Political commentator tim anderson earlier joined us with his take on israels air strike on the iranian consulates in syria. Its not unique. There are number of. Advisers whove been of targeted and assassinated by the israelis in recent months and i think its part of a concerted plan by the netanyahu regime to try and provoke iran and it poses a dilemma because of course what the israelis are looking for is escalation which may help draw the us into a war um because of course the the israelis cant take on iran by themselves this is not the first provocation theres a number of murders that have been carried out by the israelis and really i think uh the anger amongst people around the world is really seeing at the the number of palestinians are killing, but also um syrians, iranians, um, really nilly, the aid workers, journalists, so i think this is particular provocation aimed at iran to try and get escalation, really the israelis are unique in the region of wanting escalation because theyre feeling more and more isolated. The Islamic Revolution guards course says Israel Attacked irans. Mission in damascus out of desperation caused by the irreparable defeats that it has recently suffered. The irgc says palestinians in gaza and the resistance in the region have dealt heavy blows to israel. Regional Resistance Groups also condemn the attack.

Since the beginning of the usrely genocide in gaza on october 7, more than 32,800 people have been killed and some 75,400 injured. Lets begin with correspond from to give us the latest on whats going on in the gaza strip. We talked about uh this uh world central kitchen uh and how its a us aid uh based uh aid agency. Tell us uh about that and of course. All the other developments that you have for us when it comes to what has occurred in the past uh 24 hours or so . Yes, actually the israeli accubition forces committed a flagrant crime over the last night when the israeli warplanes attacked two two vehicles uh belong to uh the central kitchen uh world Central Organization as you know uh seven uh individuals working. For that organization were reporttedly killed over that attack, knowing that those cars were marked by the slogan of that organization, they were hit in the western parts of deril balah city in addition to a palestinian driver uh, its the first time for the iof for the israeli incubation forces to commit such a crime here in der balah city in the central area of gaza strip uh there is no further details till this moment about this crime or the reasons the israeli cubition forces killed those individuals and those foreigners for knowing that they uh they have uh International Best boards including the uh as as you know the the british the australian and the polish uh passports they are phoners working for the that organization in in order to aid the Palestinian People amed these catastrophic and dreadful humanitarian conditions the people are living in the in the gaza strip uh as you know that the central area of gaza strip accepts roughly 700 thousand palestinian uh evacuees who are taking shelter in the city ammit catastrophic humanitarian conditions and and knowing that that the the the International Organizations working here in balah city or in the central area of gaza strip or even uh at the level of the entire gaza strip are limited as you know the israelicubition forces are fighting any kind of any humanitarian aid to the Palestinian People uh so its another crime committed against those individuals and it it is another crime added to the continuous israeli crimes committed lift and against the Palestinian People, particularly when it comes to using salvation as a weapon of war against the Palestinian People. In the meantime, the Israeli Attacks were maintained over the last night here in der balah city as well, another israeli air strike targeted albashiir mosk, which is located in alhiker town.

People, thank you very much for that, there from bala, we appreciate it, moti be safe. Israels campaign in the gaza strip has been among the deadliest and the most destructive campaigns, besides thousands of human losses, the air rates have also damaged or totally destroyed all types of structures, including homes, mosks, schools and medical centers. We have taken a closer look at the issue in our explainer program. The us is early onslot on the gaza strip is one of the most destructive genocidal air campaigns ever, raising entire neighborhoods to the ground, killing tens of thousands 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 from the eu Foreign Policy chief joseph bararal 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 us bombs 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 500 and 20 pound bombs, well the destruction of buildings damaged or destroyed is mapped out here in this map, the largest destruction has occurred in uh northern gaza, 81 of the total buildings there, terms of the number, 37,100, the grand total amounts to 177, its kind of hard to see here, but that accounts for 61. 1 of 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 kilometers of roads, thats 78 of the total roads, 130. Wells 56. 2 and 130 kilometers of Water Networks 84 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 gazans are fighting for their lives, actually. Well, israel is also after erasing palestines heritage in the gaza strip. Some the examples of that that we picked, monasteries, masks, churches, palaces, archaeological hills and historic uh 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 mosque, its built in the 12th century and one of the most important and largest historical mosks 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 intent. Palestinians in the west bank have been enduring intensified raids by israel since the onset of the regimes war on gaza. Israely Occupation Forces have carried out fresh rates towns, villages and refugee camps across occupied territories. The regime has stormed homes, made multiple arrests wounding number of palestinians during these raids.

In january, at least three us forces were killed in one such attack a military base in jordan. Housing prices across the west have gotten so high that many people have given up on the idea of ever owning their home. Well in europe protests are being held to demand more Government Intervention on the issue of building more Affordable Housing. Rommin masary has more from paris. In a statistic which may amaze and anger those in their 20s and 30s, in 1973 the average french person dedicated just 10 percent of their income to housing, in places like lisbon, that figure 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 excessive french governments, they have turned their back on the many victims of our longrunning 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. In europe, as much of our stock dates from after world war ii, the laws requiring that 20 of lodgings be made available to lower income citizens
