organisation has a warned that the attacks against al shifa hospital have made it impossible for un agencies to distribute aid. it has also expressed concern about reports of medical staff being detained. al-shifab, the largest hospital in gaza, has been under direct israeli attacks, raids and air strikes since monday. our correspondent in gaza, muthi abu musab says the situation of palestinians in al-shifah hospital as well as the palestinians sheltering in medical facilities is catastrophic. israel aggression is still persistent against that shif medical complex and even the surrounding areas of gaza strip as you know that today is the

fourth consecutive day of this brolal aggression uh as a result the israel incubation forces kidnapped uh hands of the palestinian civilians from inside the ashifa medical complex including paramedics and journalists and even civilians of those evacuees who were taken shelters of inside the hospital uh actually according to the latest news from the ashifa medical complex that at least the three palestinian patients passed away over the lack of the needed medical. care after the israel incubation forces kidnapped and abducted the paramedics from the ashif medical complex, while in the surrounding areas the israeli incubation forces are still attacking the residental buildings fears and strikes hit the residental buildings over the last couple of hours as the israeli air strikes targeted and destroy several horizontal buildings in the meantime the israeli artillery and the israeli tanks also maintain shelling the residental apartments in the vicinity of the shifa medical complex a big fire. blazed and

engulfed a lot of the palestian insental ap apartments in the area in the vicinity of the ship medical complex. we are talking about continuous israeli air strikes and humanitarian conditions are still catastrophic by all means uh for the palestinian evacuees who are still stranded and beseed inside the shifa medical complex or for those who are still located and the trapped under the heavy bombardments of the israeli tanks and the israel strikes in the vicinity of the ashifa medical complex uh many appeals actually were released by the palestinian families in order uh to help them i mean for the rid crossy and the human human. rights organizations to help them to to uh safegard to be safeguard and to leave the area because the israeli shilling is fierce and intense and it hasn't stopped for a while. we are talking about four consecutive months of those continuous israel strikes and attacks. moving on, the united

nations satellite center has released in updated assessment of the damage inflicted on buildings in the gaza strip. says 35% of all buildings in the gaza strip have been damaged, the un agency says nearly 90,000 buildings have been damaged with which among which 32,00 have been completely destroyed. the new assessment shows that nearly to 20,000 buildings have also been damaged in the gaza strip since the previous assessment in january. israel's indiscriminate bombings the besiest territory have resulted in the destruction of... hospitals, schools, mosks, churches and civilian infrastructure. such destruction of homes and other essential areas has displaced hundreds of thousands of people. human rights organizations say the destruction appears to be aimed at or have

the effect of rendering the return of civilians to these areas impossible. and almost six months into israel's onslot on the gaza strip, new survey shows that the vast majority of palestinians in gaza and the west bank still support thomas resistance movement. new opinion poll was published by palestine and the center for policy and survey research. the result shows that 71% of palestinians belief carrying out the alloh flood operation on october 7th was a correct decision. almost two-thirds of palestinians in gaza and the west bank also believe hamas will emerge victorious. after 167 days of israel's genocidal war on gaza, the poll revealed that 70% of gaza's residence are determined not to leave the besig strip, even

if the wall between rapha and egypt collapses. the majority of gazans also want hamas to remain in control after. the war, the rivers of mesopotamia are going through their most critical times. with the deaths of the tigris and the euphretes, what will the future hold for the people of iraq and syria? will the aras river end up the way the tigris

and the euphretes did? the future for millions of people is tied to the freedom of captive called water. now the leader of yemenson movement has strongly condemned the us-israeli genocide in gaza as purposeful, intentional and pre-planned. speaking in a televised address, abdul malik al-huthi said massacres of palestinians by the regime forces. set a test to the criminal nature of the zinis. he added that what is happening in gaza shows that the zianists are a threat to the entire humanity. huthi stress that while israel uses hunger as a weapon against gazans, the us claims that

there is no evidence to prove that. he said the ongoing genocide in gaza shows moral decline of the us and serves as a warning. regarding the threat it poses to other nations affirmed that israel has failed to achieve any of its goals on the ground, despite all of its heeneus crime. times touching upon the recent developments in the red sea. huty said the u.s. and the uk have not only failed to protect israeli linked ships, but they have also failed to protect their own vessels. he said that they are now resorting to camouflage tactics to conceal their ships, but their vessels have been detected by yemeni naval forces.

welcome to another edition of the news review. now in this edition, it is mother's day across the arab world and in palestine. mothers, however, are not celebrating the event, as they are facing death, displacement, starvation, and abduction. the palestinian prisoner society says the israeli force. have carried out large-scale detention campaigns against women in the gaza strip since the start of the regimes onslot on the beseach territory early in october. the pps explained that the crimes and violations committed by the israeli forces against female prisoners have escalated in an unprecedented way. the prisoners society said palestinian mothers in israeli jails are not allowed to have visitors on mother's day. according to un women, over 9,000 palestinian

women have been killed by israeli forces since october with an estimated 37 mothers losing their lives every day. to discuss that further, we're joined by alice roth child, author, activist and filmmaker who's joining us from seat. we also have with us nasar mashni, president of the australia, palestine advocacy network from melbourne. thank you very much to both of you for joining us. let's begin with our guest from seattle and who is woman herself. it is mother's day in the arab world. mothers are receiving gifts from uh their children, from loved ones, the're being celebrated for the sacrifices they make. day in and day out, but in the gaza strip, mothers are being killed every

single day, 37 per day, according to un women, so what is your take on that? well, i think that uh, what is going on where we see the killing of over 32,00 people, two-thirds them are women and children, that this is assault on all of the people in gaza, this is not an assault against hamas and uh, you could say that this is uh attempt to really destroy the society, and it goes along with the destruction of the health care system, the universities, the libraries, really hitting at the core of the ability to have a functional society, and so it's particularly cool for the women um who are uh innocent in this particular struggle, many of the men are innocent as well, but that women are clearly innocent as well as the children, so it's it's part of a genocidal campaign against the people in gaza, so they also, yes, go ahead,

i was just going to say that um, there are also 50 to 60 thousand pregnant women in gaza, and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to hunger, starvation, dehydration, so these pregnancies are now not being attended preenatally or very few women have adequate prenatal care. or maternity care, this is affecting the health of the women, it's affecting the health of their babies, it's affecting their ability to bond with their children and breastfeed with their children, and you can imagine if woman has a pre-term labor, which happens a lot in this kind of stressful situation, she's hungry, she's thirsty, she can't breastfeed her baby, she doesn't have the money for formula, if she gets the formula, she doesn't have clean water, this is cascade of catastrophes, so we expect to see maternal and infant more. rising dramatically, we already have a 300% increase in stress induced miscarrages and

there will likely be more congenital anomalies as well. thank you very much, actually that was very great analysis right there, so let's bring in nasar mashni from melbourne to continue that discussion. now if they want to destroy a society, usually the first thing they target is the families, and in the family... is of course the pillar of any family as the mother, so what is your take on the situation in gaza considering the situation that mothers are facing and? and thank you for the opportunity and alice is wonderful summary of the genocidal war not on hamas but on palestine and palestinians and you're absolutely right zahra, the pillar of family of an indigenous family of a palestinian family is the mother and it is particularly cruel and i think um extending all alice has said for mothers and prenatal

mothers mothers are giving birth that aside from the fact that that not having prenatal care and perhaps having cesarians with about um anesthetic, the mothers that have given birth to children they've carried for nine months, that those children many of them are stunted because they haven't received the nutrition whilst they were in the worm, but those mothers now are having to find a way as best they can to get formula as expensive as it might be, as limited as that resource might be, and in the very most d of circumstances where they haven't had enough sustenance. themselves, they're not producing milk themselves, so their children are starving in the very first months of their lives, and there's no way that that child can ever catch up that growth, and as a from a genocidal campaign to use starvation as a weapon like this is beyond the pale, the fact is there trucks of aid sitting within 10

minutes drive to these people a mile, perhaps two miles away at the r. is an endless stream of aid that's been sitting there for weeks and months waitings and whilst the world sits by and allows this to happen and they talk about air drops and everything, the world is genocide, and i'd like to salute the yemenho in your earlier story spoke about, they're doing their job in ensuring that they trying to stop genocide from occurring, so back to our guest. from seattle uh, what do you see the future holding for the um population living in gaza, the society, considering the situation that families and particularly mothers are facing? well, i don't think there will be a future in gaza unless there is first of all sease fire um immediately and

massive amounts of humanitarian aid, there needs to be um the people the countries that are responsible. for providing the bombing and the military aid, israel and the us need to be held accountable, and there needs to be addressing of the root causes. if we don't address the root causes of this horrific um catastrophe, then it will not move forward. i think one of the big issues is that we don't know what the end point is for the israeli military, are they going to attempt to depopulate gaza and transfer everybody to the sinai? are they only going to let people live in? south, are they going to reoccupy with checkpoints and military vehicles everywhere? i don't know what their plans are, i don't know if they know as well, um, but each of those turning points has huge impact on what the future of gaza will be, but gaza is going to have to be rebuilt, from the ground up because so much of the society and the infrastructure and the schools and the

universities and the hospitals and health centers have been destroyed. uh, the other problem is that for instance, in healthcare, huge number of healthcare workers have been uh killed or injured and uh leaders in the healthcare system, heads of hospitals have been arrested, taken to israeli jails, humiliated, tortured, all sorts of horrific things, so there's also this attempt to destroy the people who would be able to put it all back together again, so uh, this is this is a long-term issue that's going to have to be addressed, but right now what we need is a ceasefire, and uh, thank you, very much for that and put uh back to our guest in melbourne just a quick note to wrap this up. when do you think this will stop? do you think there will be point where where israelis will stop the bombardment or they are aiming to uh destroy everything that exists? i don't think israel's stopping anyt

soon uh when you look at the beyond the geopolitics just look at benjamin netanyahu and the makeup. of his fascist government, this is the most far right government of israel's ever had, and that's saying something considering the war criminals that have run that country before, israelity diplomatically and from the mainstream media in the west, it's not going to stop, this genocide and as said again so brilliantly, is aimed at destroying gaza, when you take out every bit of civil infrastructure from churches to schools to hot. hospitals to roads, there is no functioning way that gaza cans, now you spoke in your previous story about a pole of palestinians that don't want to leave gaza even if the... gate uh uh is broken through, i i like to think that's the truth, but humanity, people will choose life,

living over the suffering and attachment to that land. gaza is going to be uninhabitable any real sense as a functioning society for the more than decade, perhaps 15 years, and what this is is a planned, slow ethnic cleanse. my father was ethnically cleansed in 1948. the end of bayonet and he was pushed out, what what israel's done here, what the evils of of genocidalism has done here is made gaza uninhabitable, so people will voluntarily leave, and when gaza might be um rebuilt, those people that have been resettled somewhere else for a period of time, who knows whether they would go back in, thank you very much, and all of that means that the international community needs to say take very... swift action for a cease fire thanks to both of our guests, we had alice roth, child, author, activists and filmmaker from seattle, washington, and nasar

mashni, president of the australia palestine advocacy network from melbourne. thank you very much to both of you for sharing your thoughts and views with us on this edition of the news review, and thanks to all of you viewers for watching. moving on, the united states has already vetoed all un security council resolutions calling for immediate cease fire in the war ravage gaza strip now faced with increasing international backlash, its secretary of state claims that his country is working with qatar and egypt a seasfire proposal in gaza.

we've been working, as you know, with egypt, with cutter, and with israel to put a strong proposal on the table. um, hamas responded to that. uh, negotiators continue to work. the gaps are... narrowing uh and we're continuing to push for an agreement in doha. uh, there's still difficult work to get there, but i continue to believe it's possible. lincoln added that the proposal calls for immediate ce fire to pave the way for the release of hostages and getting more humanitarian aid into the territory. he was speaking after meetings with number of arab foreign ministers in the egyptian. capital cairo, lincoln will arrive in israel on friday as part of his latest west asia tour, as israel's main backer, the us has been

supporting the regime both financially and militarily since the beginning of its genocide in gaza. the us resolution will be put to vote at the security council on friday. and trip by the president of the european parliament to austria has been overshadowed by palestine's solidarity protests in vienna, we talked to several of the activists who attended this rally. first of all, we should we should understand that this is one of the biggest. student movements in austria since the 1980s, which means that palestine was able to mobilize a student movement in a country that deems to be democratic, but now it is violating each

and every pillar of democracy by illegally detaining protesters every single day since the 7th of october up until now. this student movement has been protesting against eu officials that have been ratifying and allowing for the continuation of trade. diplomatic and infrastructural relations with israel, there was no questions directed towards us, there were no, there was no reports and anything that we have critically put out there in the last half year while a genocide is unfolding in front of our eyes and over 30,00 people have been slaughtered and the press in austria is not either covering us and our critical voices nor the genacide itself nor how the eu is actually funding all of this, it's it's really... it's very alarming, and instead of holding israel accountable, instead of instantiating an arm's embargo and demanding for the genocide to stop, the eu is continuing its

hypocritical humanity. policy to deflect from the complicity in the murder of more than 3000 palestinians. once again, the eu proves itself to be merely a hypocritical institution, hiding its real colonial, capitalist and white supremacist policies behind the facade of human rights and economic prosperity. and with that we come to the end of this edition of world news on press tv. thank you for watching. stay tuned, i'll be back in half an hour with some more news. we arrive in zanjon in our journey. show you

the sites and touristic places of this province. katalehor is the name of a great and beautiful cave in joda bandalou mountains. with unique and wonderful icles. with a history of more than 30 million years. stay with us for this journey.

for muslims across the world, aid al-fitr, which marks one month of obedience to god in the holy fasting month of ramadan is a special feast. muslims feel festive and proud for their servitude to god. ramadan is called

the month of blessings. out of respect for the holy month, muslims put aside their differences and hostilities and forge a stronger unity. different cities and villages in iran have their own traditions for ramadan which date back to centuries. get a glimpse of it in this documentary on press tv.

one second. take that over again, good day, thank you, that for you, popular.

en respuesta a. countries and the nations who dare to take their destiny in their own hands to self-government, to self-determination, to simply be independent, the imperialist forces and the imperialist countries take different measures. one of the most perverse measures are the blocades and sanctions, particularly those exercised. by the united states, also by western europe, and sometimes even by some international organizations, such as the united nations, beware.
