Past 24 hours. Searching for peace palestinians hold a full maps in Southern Gaza, calling for cease fire. And the growing humanitarian crisis in sudan, the fights for the armies lost strong hold in the door for region leaves at least 800000 people. Display the plus 30 years of democracy officer is correspondence on the whole returns to his own mouth or to talk to students about self africas past and future. The its 22. 00 g n t and we begin this news hour in the us where a student protesters are continuing their demand for an end to israels nearly 7 month war on gaza. So these are pictures from new university in connecticut. There and in other states as well, local activities activists have joined students calling to their universities to cut sides with israel and are seeking an end to us military aids in the country. Hundreds of demonstrators standing in solidarity with palestinians had been arrested so far. And fisher was standing by for us at the George Washington university in washington, dc. First though, lets talk to john henry in the City University of new york. Whats the scene there . John . L 0 he j in the life of approaches is a little bit different than here on day 4 at City University of new york, i saw how the warren guys has divided the jewish community. We saw a, a manual identified themselves as, or theres really soldier who said he had just come back from guns. Busy trying to enter this complex, it was over in the corner there, we climbed up and theyre very careful about security here. So he was pretty quickly ejected and then escorted away to the 5 police who said they were doing it for his own safety. And we also saw an orthodox rabbi who stood up here and burned his is really passport visetti and pro chest of what he called the injustice of the war in gaza. And we, we talked to some of those orthodox rabbis who said that they felt that what was happening in gaza was very much like what had happened. Seduced in world war 2 and they thought the parallel was on was, was just too close for them. So what weve seen here today has been a really a buildup of, of this camp. We just saw a bunch of supplies come in, theyre getting all their food donated. And if you look back in the corner there with that blue chart page, and that is a kitchen where theyre feeding people, 3 meals a day on this donated food. So more and more this camp, like many of the others, is leaking like its becoming a little more permanent. They do yoga classes in the morning. There are prayers over on the one. So i asked one student what when she was going to lead teachers, and this is my home now, 0 bit john, about that. The Academic Year ends for some students this and a few days. Others, its in a few weeks. The point being the Academic Year ends very soon. Usually students go home. So do you expect these and cabinets will continue beyond, you know, the next few days or even just the month of may its a good question. And i think some of the universities are just wanting to wait it out, and hope that these encampments either dissolve of their own will, or they will be able to come in and sweep people out when many of those students have left for home. But many issues weve talked to said theyre, theyre determined to be at these camps until theyve achieved their demands. There of course, critical of the word, god forbid, they want the investment from the universities from everything that is invested in, in israel, or that is invested in more making materials that have helped the work. And regardless, so are things weve talked to say theyre going to stay. All right, john henry and reporting from the City University in new york. Thank you very much on this. Go to alan fisher allen. You are at the George Washington university in washington, dc. Students from at least 8 universities have joined the this is the 4th day of protest if im not mistaken. Whats it like now . It is, it does become a more of a need of permanence about this. So 1st of all, we have over my shoulder. The tense in the court, you know, theyve been there since badly on thursday morning and theres probably about a dozen students they are. Theyre trying to make things slightly better for themselves. They have, theyve installed showers, the hanging washing lines to be able to wash the clothes. And then you see the process that have sprung up on what would normally be on a sunday, a fairly busy street with tents which a people have been staying in over night. And there is a foot tent over. They are local businesses have been bringing food and drink and snacks for the people that are here. And there has been songs being played all of that building into an atmosphere that people hear about to leave. And theres no kind of threat from the police either. Were told that the university on friday morning wanted the metropolitan police. Thats the mean police of the service in washington dc to clear the courtyard after they were called in. If you go back to 2020, remember when that was the metropolitan police, the clear Lafayette Square of peaceful black lives matter of protest so that donald trump could have a full show up in the show in, in the charts nearby. Metropolitan police were absolutely hammered globally, and there was outrage locally that they would do this. And so the optics of moving into a University Court yard to move young people who were peacefully protesting was not something that the middle of the met metropolitan Police Wanted to do. So that is why to degree the people in this way, i feel slightly c for and thats why theres a need of permanence about this and comp and alan official reporting from washington dc. Thank you very much. Now and, and phil lavelle has this update from university of North Carolina at chapel hill. This process is now, well, im truly under why we are told by the organizers there was somebody in the region of 500 people here. I can say. So if youre the best of the students from this campus, from other universities, local activists table, theyve just seen the social media post. I wanted to come here to show this on a darzy and this support for the people of garza. Im the demands from the University Students have a very clear number one. They want the university 5 best from products that support israel. Number 2, they want to pull transparency about any investments that relates to israel. Now the university is allowing these people to be here. Its like someone to be there for several days. If you look over that, you can see where they feed, sleeping. They are allowed to sleep on the restrict provide so i do not erect any time since, so theyll be there sleeping all throughout the night. I repeat it all throughout the tides, although i am told by some of the organizers of this protest, the university is trying other methods to get them out. For example, they have locked the doors to a number of these buildings, so nobody can use the restroom. Also, they have stopped taking the trash away, so the students and outside of the area so that it doesnt start to smell. And number 3, they say theyve been told by the universe and say that the sprinklers will be turned on at midnight. So they proactively put book kids over the spring close to stop them being french, but they say theyve had about audio thought. This isnt watchable about the why the course. They will stay it for as long as it takes at the moment. There is no police presence. There are some purpose officer station on the outside of the area, just keeping an eye of things. But at the moment, this is a very, very peaceful process. A lot process, but a peaceful protest fil about. Lets just say era. Chapel hill, North Carolina. The earlier i spoke to dr. Joe stein, shes a president ial candidate with the green party and this years us selection. She wasnt young, dozens of people arrested during a protest and support of palestinians at Washington University on saturday evening. Thats in st. Louis. She says its unacceptable that the university tried to shut down demonstrations for a movement which the vast majority of americans support. It was there to support the students be able to students and Community Members who were holding a peaceful, a really wonderful, gracious Educational Community gathering, exercising their 1st amendment rights of free speech and the right to gather and to petition for redress of grievances. It was a delightful gathering and not that far into it. The police basically attacked us and assaulted us as well as arrested us was. Is there any bible obligation to do . You know, if youre violating any guidelines, rules or laws . Well, we have a 1st amendment right to free sixtys and also to freedom of assembly. So even though those basic protections are there, most certainly werent being violated, there was nothing going on that was disruptive, nothing that was blocking traffic or occupying a building. Nothing of that nature whatsoever, and in fact, i was there as a president ial candidate. And along with myself, there were 2 members of the, or a alderman, the president of the alderman and another alderman, who were there to say the same thing that it was really unacceptable that the university was trying to shut down this. You know, this expression of our 1st amendment rights on a, on a policy matter where theres enormous International Support in norm is National Support with a vast majority of americans wanting to end the genocide and gaza, wanting to have a diplomatic solution. So this is like where the American People are and for that to be for bidden, as a subject of debate and discussion. And um, uh, you know, the exercise of free speech is just really unjust. Was there any dialogue with University Administrators beforehand . We were trying to, to compress the situ license, and to talk them out of the use of military police and to just allow the students to exercise the rights of free speech and peaceful assembly. So they were not occupying a building, they were not taking over and administrators office, they were not interfering with foot traffic. So we were trying to encourage the university to behave like a university, a center of dialogue and debate. And we, you know, said in so many words, the eyes of the world are watching you. This is not a good look for the university to be attacking its students who are simply exercising their Constitutional Rights peacefully. And we tried unity to other questions for you on the accusations of anti semitism that some of these protests i, i bring this up because john kirby, the White House NationalSecurity Communications adviser, mentioned it on the sunday morning talk shows he said quote, we absolutely condemn the anti semitism language that weve heard of late and we certainly condemned hate speech. I wonder. Have you seen or heard whether its anti semitism or hate speech or anything that gets you pause at that protest or other projects . Absolutely not. You know, and im a person of jewish background myself that was raised very much, you know, after the holocaust and having grand parents who were refugees from anti semitism and programs themselves. You know, i was raised very much within that, tried within that tradition. But that tradition was also fed to a genocide should happen to know one. And unfortunately, i know zionism is not judaism and zionism has been controversial within the jewish community. In fact, since its origins in the 18 hundreds and that the controversy continues today, and the consequences of zionism were basically, people came in jews, came in refugees who then said this land is ours. And were ethnically cleansing this land. Thats not ok. It was fine for people to be refugees, but then to take over the land and displays and use violence against the the people who are there. You know that this problem, this crisis did not start on october 7th, october 7th, was just the latest phase of you know, violence that was perpetrated mostly by israel against the palestinians, starting back at the knock, the and before in fact, certainly 75 years in advance in advance of that and unfortunately, jews and i know myself because i was raised as part of it. Ive been taught a certain version of history which is not quite accurate. And as more and more Historical Documents have come to light, its, you know, its very clear that there have been a, theres been, you know, and outrages, tradition of violence against palestinians from the get go. So zionism is something that needs to be defeated and being anti zionist is not the same as being anti semitic. Of all universities in gaza had been badly damaged or destroyed via is really forces and the students and gods are watching with the students. And then us are doing and saying, displace palestinians in ross are thinking protest is at campuses in the us for their solidarity messages and gratitude have been displayed on their tents. Students are calling for the protests in the us to continue. Despite the crack down that we were just talking about by police and university authorities. We appreciate very much we, we, we truly love them. Anyone who raises a flag for by the sign, we appreciated with all our hearts, they are leaving their education, they are getting hard and they getting in trouble for us. We really appreciate that. We really want them to, to keep going. And we really want to be a part of this university is because they have the sense with us. No one did that. When i saw all the process. But all the colleges like columbia, harvard, yale, and all the colleges and all the students there are ready to, to, to maybe be arrested for us for sending into a visit with the sign. That gives me a glimpse of home on the ground in gaza. 66. 00 more palestinians have been killed in just the last 24 hours. A huge explosion had gone to city. Thats in the Central Region. Uh and in the Central Region of the strip on sunday. The is really military also targeted the Southern City of rough or at least 34450. 00 for palestinians have been killed since october. The 7th honeymoon, who has more from rough that were getting confirmation of at least one persons killed in this residential home. And i was in, in a district india tag just happened a while ago on ears tried targeting the residential building. This is the initial report that we have been confirmed that it has been confirmed as one person killed multiple injuries already a transferred on their way to the hospital in a jar house. But theres still more people that we were told by the Civil Defense, a crew and paramedic that the house was full of people. These are displaced families and evacuated from the northern parts in gauze and city in the earlier attack than eastern part of roughly 30000000. But as the neighborhood that the northern eat, the southern eastern part of the city where a flat was targeted inside a residential building, a 3 Story Building at 2 people. Its a porter with a critical injuries and multiple, other from the surrounding areas all transferred to and the job at hospital bed. The off for a mass of this attack is just not only cause the further civilian casualties, but also forcing people into more internal displacement already. People are displays have been filtering in this area for the past month. And since they were forced out of their homes or from the northern part goddess, the more recently from tanya and is on the central area on a separate attack, thats really military continue to pound across the central area. Mainly the refuge account is in the western part of, of the central area. Thats a new site, right . Where you common an area between the southern part of why does that. And then theyll say that refuge account again gets causing further civilian casualties and causing the shocking level of destruction. To all means of why were talking about it right now, we level in which we see all civilian and also shows services have been eliminated in the area. Meanwhile, the Civil Defense crew and paramedics and volunteers were able to recover at least 13 bodies of from different parts of eastern han unison. The from parts of the city from under the rebels are from roads and those are believed to be killed when theres really military and its the Ground Forces invaded the city last month. I mean, my lord avita alpha palestine. The worlds central kitchen says its resuming humanitarian operations and gaza weeks up to 7 of its employees were killed then it is really strike their convoy was hitting central guns on april 1st, despite having shared their movements with this really forces. Israel apologized and described the incident as a grave mistake. In joes chief executive, aaron gore says the is really army has changed rules of its operations, but notes that it has no concrete assurances about the safety of its employees. Palestinian president nahu to boss has urged the world to help in the war and allow more aiden to got there. Hes been speaking in the saudi capital, re add where he addressed the World Economic forum, abbas appealed to the us to prevent israel from launching a ground attack on the russell where more than 1500000 people are sheltering. You also warranted that israel could try to push that listing is out of the occupied westbank after its done with garza. My exit. If you have those uh what, what is happening and gaza . What will happen in the coming days and what israel will do by inviting the city of ruffled all the palestinians from gaza gathered in the city of rough or at only a small blo remains to get them all out. Then it would be the biggest disaster in the history of the palestinian people. I know now i assure you, anybody, we appeal to the United States of america to ask israel to stop the rough operation. Because america is the only country capable of preventing israel from convincing this crime. In the occupied west bank, many are critical of the policy and president seemed to surround the reports from ramallah, the policy and president obama. The b
