earlier, he called for a march against the ongoing crisis in ukraine. fellow opposition leaders say his death was motivated. they say he was poised to release a report on the kremlin's role in ukraine. more from moscow. >> he had received death threats before. but he brushed them aside and said if he were afraid he wouldn't be leading an opposition party. on friday evening, just before midnight, he was killed near the kremlin, shot four times from a passing car. >> he was big, handsome bright and talented. the very kind that they kill. we needed him very much. >> this is a new spiral in russia's decent into a fascist state. in our opinion, the mastermind of this crime is obvious. it's a milwaukee murder of one of the brightest opposition politicians. >> he was killed just two days before he wasz opposedsupposed to lead a movement. some are calling his death an assassination. this was a man once considered to be a potential successor to former president boris yeltsin, a little known spy chief called vladimir putin, a future became one of opposition. for the opposition he for the so hard for had recently found it harder harder and harder to make himself heard in an increasingly patriotic, anti-western russia. >> president individual mirror putin offered his col doane he knews and called the murder a provocation. he ordered a full investigation into nemtsov's death. but those who knew the opposition leader say the government did nothing to protect him when he received threats. before he died nemtsov was working on a report that he believed proved russia had been directly involved in the separatist rebellion in eastern ukraine. he also criticized what he called the government's inefficemergency and corruption. the opposition wants a march planned for sunday to now be a rally to mourn a man they saw as a voice attempting to hold the government accountable. rory chal lands, al jazeera. >> president barack obamapom issued a statement when he learned of nemtsov's murder. he said i admired his courageous dedication to the struggles against corruption in russia and appreciated his willingness to share candid views with me when we met in mock 0 in

thank you for coming in this evening. nemtsov is the 5th high-profile critic of vladimir putin to be killed in the last decade. a lot of suspicion falling on the russian president. are there any other scenarios to explain the death of nemtsov? >> no. i mean it is probably -- i am not sure that it was putin ordered murder but it's something who thinks that putin would probably like to have nemtsov killed like to see the opposition is being weakened because now we will see what happens tomorrow when the opposition would go to the streets to commemorate, to remember nemtsov and his mow. we will see how many people would come and because now there is a fear that any -- each and every one would be killed even if it's not the order of the president. the security forces n pro-russian rebels maybe traveling from ukraine saying, you know, what we are really sick of nemtsov's anti-rebel government pro-ukrainian argument and therefore, we are just going to take him out. i think that is really the new era of russia when russia becomes completely law lesotho and at this the endless law lesothoness. >> so many world leaders are calling for a fair thorough impartial investigation, but putin is somewhat behind this investigation saying he wants it controlled in a certain way. with that being the case how impartial will this be? >> that's clever because putin now is saying that it's actually he was even if he disagreed him, he was a respected politician. putin is going to personally oversee the investigation. this is a very interesting and clever way of saying well we are going to find somebody but you would never prove that this somebody is indeed behind the actual murder but we are going to give all of this western leaders whatever they want. >> that's we will have a figurehead. i think putin is clever. he is a kgb man. he knows how to conduct this kind of obscure investigation very well. >> what will nemtsov's death -- what inflew he knew or effect will it have on the opposition? >> the opposition, there are two scenarios. the opposition can actually rally behind. one of the russian arguments that they make in the kremlin arguments is that the opposition, the opposition will unite and go after the crem limb or get scared and deteriorate. i would think it's actually the first. i think because so many people have completely been i insensed. >> have you had a thought of what russia would be like if new mexico until nemtsov had gotten to power stiff intraedmi putin? >> it's not entirely accurate because putin did not replace himself in that position. there were other kangs in yeltsin's entourage. he was one of the leaders of a very good democratic party, bright leaders in that party. it collapsed very soon after putin came to pour in 2000. russia is a pioneer country that observes laws that speaks english and understands the enemy but part of its own civilization. >> has been 15 years in russia really is not going that direction at all. >>

playgrounds. factory floors are filled with destroyed machinery. the only power plant storage tanks are a crumpled heap and the damage the destruction, the devastation has obliterated entire neighborhoods. gaza has never been well off, but today, it's perhaps worse off than ever. the fear is that could lead to another war. >> why hasn't your family been able to rebuild? >> all building materials, according to our abilities, we can't get. >> part of the problem is poverty. a government teacher only received 60 percent of his salary aftervisis cut off revenues to the palestinian authority. >> omar skofi has no job. >> that's 60% is unemployed. they have blueprints but they can't rebuild without more help. >> the process is slow. a week ago, i went to the ministry. they said the funds from the u.n. haven't arrived yet. >> another problem. the u.n. agency that helps palestinians known as unra is broke. current trees have promised donations but not delivered them? >> which i can only describe as scandal us that an organize like that has run out of money to help refugees. >> robert sary leads the u.n.'s effort to reconstruct gaza. he says the donors haven't paid up because of the political conflict between hamas and the palestinian authority. >> there is a lot of bad blood between those faxes. >> you have two different strands of civil administration in gaza. >> there aren't plans to rehabilitate neighborhoods. gaza. many in gaza worry about the possibility of future conflicts including the deputy foreign minister of hamas. nick schifrin spoke about thepates of reconstruction in gaza. >> we think now that reconstruction prossays very slow, very very slow and there is no money coming from the donor countries. and israel is still put some restrictions. they should not be doing stuff like that. it's not human because why, for example, egypt to close the question for a long time. more than 57 days. and you have some patients dying here for example, about 40 or 50,000 people are not paid for seven or 10 months. they cannot bring a piece of bread to his family. people begin crazy rav. >> do you blame the u.n.? do you blame israel? the palestinian authority? >> we are just exchanging axizations, wasting time. as i said, responsible for the palestinian people to do more in this field. now 22 years in negotiation and peaceful talks with israel and the result is a big zero. flying with one wing, not backed by his people. >> when he goes to the security council, he is not backed by hamas, jihad. event he is negotiating. he has no power card in his hand. >> has iran remained a loyal allie? >> our relationship with iran is not in such good like in the past because we have deep difference about the syrian issue. we feel that we have the. >>sis. >> israel says it's worried about reconstruction materials being used for tunnels. as far as you know has any reconstruction materials been used for tunnels? >> look. we want them to worry. it's our enemy. they don't not with a to be a piece of bread, we can't take it one moment. i think we have to be strong and we have to be qualified and, also we have to be also alert in order not to give any chance to attack our people without paying the price. >> joining me from washington, d.c. is shara sdwlchlt a zan i director of stand with us northeast region. we appreciate the time this evening. in the six months since this war ended why has it taken so long for reconstruction efforts to get underway? >> only two days ago, the ipf manneder convened press conference for palestinian media at the gates of gaza at the shalom crossing and made it clear that the fact that hamas insinths cysts on abusing building materials israel >> just on the human side of this reconstruction, why hasn't more aid been able to cross in to gaza from israel? un un? >> it was made complier by the israeli leadership there is no desire whatsoever to bring upon more pain to the civilian population in gaza. the shalom crossing has been opened continuously through the crossing. you have over 500 truckloads of equipment and materials and goods making their way into gaza every day. over 1,000 people come out of gaza from the crossing every day for medical services for pilgrimage to jerusalem, for any other reason. israel has no -- over 70,000 tons of building materials have been entered into gaza and again, the fact that it's not the palestinian authority that's managing these crossings but hamas whose intentions are very clear. you just heard him say clearly israel is the enemy. let me tell you and let me tell hamas that israel will have no desire to attack gaza. israel withdrew from gaza in 2005 with a clear intention of never coming back. the fact that hamas, instead of investing their funds and money in to rebuilding their own hospitals and hospices are investing in terror tunnels and using rocket launchers so they can check what to do in the next round of violence is a clear indication of whose malintent it is. >> there is a lot of distrust between israeli government and hamas in gaza. so with that being said from your vantage point do you believe that the israeli government is doing all it can do to help ease the suffering to the civilians in gaza? >> well, you know, the israeli government is in a very complicated situation. on the one hand, we have an enemy called hamas. on the other hand, israel does not have an enemy in the palestinian people but these materials that make their way in to gaza can be used to rebuild those hospitals and those homes that clearly need rebuilding. but they can also be abused by hamas in order to build the attacks, the terror tunnels into israel. what do you do? i can assure you of one thing, the fact on wednesday, the israel commander met with palestinian media outlets and spoke to them, by the way, in arabic, in order to convey a message to the civilian population of gaza. there is a way out of this. and there is a fast plane and literally, the keys are in the handle of hamas and we hope that hamas will be able to to love their children more than they hate the enemy. >> mr. zadi stand by. i want to get your opinion on other, you know, relative to this conflict in just a few moments. gaza wasn't the only area affected by the fighting last summer. nick schifrin takes us to sterot near the border where families are feeling the impact of last year's hamas rocket fire. >> gadi arkoni can shoot hoops. he can throw punches. he can play xbox but he can't forget the war that ended six months ago. he remembers each time he looks at his legs. >> everyone was running, and after a second, i was flying through the air. on august 26th, the mortar fired by palestinian fighters from gaza landed right next to him. he lost his legs. two of his friends died. just one hour later, israel and hamas ceased fire. >> do you have any recrickets had you just known when the ceasefire was going to start, you would have your legs? >> i am not looking backward. i cannot change t every day, i am getting stronger. look at me. i can walk. i can walk without help. you see, i walk with a limp. i hurt. it's difficult but we shall overcome. today, his optimism comes from state-of-the-art rehabilitation. the xbox helps coordination. the basketball his balance. and the boxing his strength. what really provides strength is family. his daughter 17-year-old libby, isn't afraid of looking at his injury. he isn't angry but he warns those who fired the mortar. >> we cannot live in fear. if we live in fear they will also have no peace. >> during the war palestinian fighters fired more rockets deeper into israel than ever before. >> more than 3,000 rockets and mortars killed 15 in israel and wounded more than 150. one landed in the middle of this residential neighborhood. we survived because people were in the bomb shelters and because god protected us. >> marco frama is the deputy mayor. the damage from that mortar is visible on his car. we met him when the skies were filled with rockets. on july 10th we filmed the israel's iron dome made 3 interceptions. residents walked into the city's bomb shelter. he brought his son there because it's also the city's day care. >> my work is 24/7. i don't see the kids. so my son being here gives me a sense of security. today, sterote is booming. construction isae everywhere. residents refuse to leave. >> for us the solution is not leaving. it's the opposite. the solution is to stay and evolve. >> alexa lives behind the pock-marked wall. >> this is your home? >> inside, he shows me where he slept every day for six months. a bomb shelter. the windows are two inch thick steel. >> gaza is that way. i have to keep this window closed. there is nothing between here and there. a missile may come directly in. we have no a lotlternative. >> people say there will be another war in the future whether we want it or not. this is our way life. he knows tlbld be another war. the israeli military did not destroy the rocket launcher that targeted him. >> my daughter told me she is afraid the same launcher will be used in the next war. >> six months later, israel is on its feet but you can feel their fear and see their wounds. nick schifrin al jazeera, sterot israel. also joining us this evening from washington is nazar farzak a project on middle east democracy. thank you for your time as well. what is hamas doing to expedite the reconstruction process in gaza? >> i don't speak for hamas but i know that they have of course an interest an incentive in the reconstruction and improving the situation because pan stillians in gaza are flustered hamas doesn't gain any friends byvulsion the economic and hugh nantarian situation getting worse. the thing with construction it requires many actors, not only hamas that has the keys to the solution. the solution requires several actors of which hamas is one. >> is hamas's primary priority by providing food aid to the people or is it getting to a situation where they can continue to attack israel? >> i don't speak from ham. i wouldn't know what their intentions and plans are. but i don't see how any group would benefit from the destruction of their own people. any group or state actor, if you want to say, israel or hamas, or the pa for that matter of course their primary priority is security before they can provide food and shelter. so it's hard to see how hamas benefits from lack of security. i think a lot hinges on the relationship between all of the parties and there needs to be a permanent solution not just a war every three or four years and and a never ending saga of wars. i think there needs to be on a more serious attempt at permanent solution and not at small fixes. >> do you believe israel is not putting enough value on helping provide aid to the civilians an especially the children in gaza who are still dealing with this war-torn area? >> what you it's doing is symbolic and barely scratches the surface of what could be done. of course, israel is not the only patient that needs to work to. israel is averse to working together with the pa and the international community and not. >> those that are needed or necessary for a genuine solution for the reconstruction. >> in addition to the border crossing controlled by israel there is also the very important border crossing with egypt and today, recently, the egyptian court has labeled hamas as terrorist organization. how do you think that ruling will affect hamas's ability to care for its people? i think it's unfortunate. it will make the situation more difficult. he script is a very important country, controlled the rafah crossing with israel. >> is going to worsen the situation iezzo, the pa and the u.s. need to work together to try to get all of the parties working constructively finding a resolution to start the reconstruction process. >> mr. farzaka, i would ask you to please stand by for a moment. i want to continue our conversation relative to the aftermath of the war in gaza and according to staggering numbers from unicef. more than 370,000 gazan children show signs of psychological trauma the equivalent of every child in dallas. again, here is nick schifrin. >>reporter: . >> reporter: the bakr children didn't lose their lives but in their shock, they have lost their words. >> can you tell me today, what do you like to do? . >> he was once kind. today, he is violent. his outburst target friends and family. all of them are surrounding by poverty. in this neighborhood little girls climb um walls marked by shrapnel. he has been like this ever since one of the war's most knownotorious moments. on july 16th, two israeli strikes destroy a beach hut. a group of boys playing nearby start running but they can't outrun the bombardment. four die including mutasar's brother. musar, himself suffers head back wounds. today, his wounds are invisible. he tried to kill his cousin who tried to kill himself. >> nutasar, can you tell me what you remember from july? for so many kids here, the cost of conflict is trauma. gazan children who have lost their child hoods. >> do you remember what happened? >> 8-year-old basan dihar's favorite place is her uncle's garden. she lived here for six months. ever since she survived the horror of shujiee. more gazans died here than anywhere else. today, her home is still in ruins, a green hamas flag hangs outside. forethree days she was buricked alive underneath the damage. her mother, father and four brothers and sisters were killed. the war created 1500 orphans. >> can you tell me about school? what do you like about your school? . >> this is the lifelong kind of imagery and scars that are impacting scores of children across gaza. it's not something that kids can recover from ever. >> purnell ironside sponsors therapy for children who have lost a home. 10-year-old inasar lost both. balloons allow children to release anxiety and associate a an explosion with something benign. games with blind folds increase trust. he bra him receives group and individual counseling and walks home with a counselor. the war still surrounds him. his neighborhood is destroyed. suage runs through the street. his home is a thin cold caravan. . >> children are on the edge of losing hope entirely. their entire future looks bleak. >> but thank to the exercises, ibrahim can at least tell me what happened during the war and even look forward. >> ibrahim, can you tell me what you want when you grow up? >> a doctor. >> why do you want to be a doctor? >> 370,000 gazan children are mentally injured, prone to violence shocked and speechless. and only one out of three is getting any help. nick sheeve written, al jazeera, balahia, gaza. >> we welcome back s ha-ha r r azani as we continue this conversation. and let me start with you. when we have political leaders and military leaders involved in the connell conflict we have seen over the past several decades, it always appears the children and the civilians are the ones who don't get the attention they deserve. so the best thing for those people would be an end to these con conflicts conflicts. let's see if we can do our part to bring peace to the region from your vantage point, what would you tell israel that would help them have a better trust, maybe for hamas and maybe even pa to get to a point where these kids and these other civilians are not suffering? >> well i would start on the issue of security. palestinians in the gaza strip and the west bank want to have their freedom, want to have their states where they are free and feel safe just as much as israeli citizens. the difference between the pa and ramalah and gaza is one believes negotiations are going to lead to that state and others believe it's only violence going to lead to that liberation. so what i would ask israelis to do is reward or help the parties that are trying to get to deliberation of the palestinian people through negotiations and peaceful means and help show through action. not through words. >> they are actually sincere in giving palestinians
