Flight 17 are flown back from ukraine. 776 palestinians have been killed in two weeks of israeli shelling penalty . Ishelling in the gaza strip. Thirty people have been killed and around 100 injured in the latest attack. Nicole johnson joins us live from gaza. Were getting grisly details coming through. What are you hearing . Thats right, the information is still quite sketchy. We have attained there on the moments on their way at the moment, theyll be able to provide more information. As you said, the reports are that some 30 people have been killed by tank shelling in the northern part of the gaza strip. It could be more than 100 injured. There are hundred was people who have gone to these United Nations schools to try to get protection from the bomb barredment. People have left the eastern flank of the gaza strip, as well as the north, and theyve moved to around 70 different schools. They go to these places because they think theyll be safe. Some dont go, they dont believe anywhere is safe. As it turns out on this particular occasion, it seems a United Nations school has been hit and its no longer a safe place for palestinians to go to to try and escape the israeli tank shelling. The issue of the schools has been sensitive between the United Nations and israel. The u. N. Has come out a couple of times during this conflict and said that it has found rockets, weapons inside u. N. Schools and that palestinian groups should not or the factions should not be using them for these sorts of activities. It was possible, trying to portray itself as conducts some kind of moral or just war on gaza, anytime weve had these sorts of events that have garnered international attention, israeli has had to take a step back and justify itself, explain itself. The other two big occasions have been the four children killed on the beach in gaza, just very close to where we are at the moment, and thereof been attacks on hospitals, five killed in a hospital in the central part of the gaza strip, israel is coming under increasing criticism for these sorts of be they mistakes or misfires, unlikely to be a deliberate attack on a United Nations school, but its going to be difficult for israel to explain this one. Emergency services were struggling to deal with the situation today and this must be adding more strain to available resources there. Thats right. Some good news, though, at least in the area, ambulance crews finally after one or two days of bombardment were able to get into the central part of the area to try and bring out injured people. Theyve also brought out some seven bodies. They were able to spend quite a few hours in there, because a wide agricultural area heavily hit by tank shelling, as youll hear in my report. At the morgue, this family, they are mostly farmers. Their homes are filled with what has become a battleground between the israeli and palestinian fighters. Around midnight, a tank shell hit the house, made a big hole in the roofer and killed my son and cousin. The rest of the family is injured or suffering burns. Also here is the mother of a 12yearold boy killed. Why did they kill him . Was he carrying a bomb or rifle . Was he a threat . Finally, theyre taken to see the bodies. He says god retaliate for him. They have taken him from us, my son. The ambulances keep arriving and all of the people here are waiting to see whether its their family members who are inside. This man is trying to call his family. There are 60 people in his house. He says the tank shells are hitting all around them. More ambulances arrived and more injured. Tank shells land everywhere. Many people have been killed and in one house, 30 people died. The israeli armys ground offensive has now reached all of gaza. No one knows where it will end. Aljazeera. U. S. Secretary of state john kerry is on a push across the middle east aimed as reaching a ceasefire deal between hamas and israel. He arrived in cairo to meet egyptian officials. Kerry was in the occupied west Bank Wednesday where he held talks with palestinian and israeli leaders. The leader of hamas said his group will not agree to a ceasefire without israel ending a siege on gaza. Many efforts are being exerted, yet i cannot claim theres a breakthrough. Many still insist that we should ceasefire, then negotiate. U. S. Officials are willing to offer assurances that following the ceasefire, we have experienced this in the past, and this is not credible. The u. N. Human Rights Council voted to launch an independent war crimes inquiry into israels offensive in gaza. The u. N. How many rights chief warned theres strong possibility israel has been committing war crimes. Hamas is also condemned for indiscriminate attacks on israel. Aljazeeras diplomatic editor james bays joins us now from west jerusalem. We are seeing kerry shuttling back to cairo. Where do the efforts to get this ceasefire deal stand at this point . Hes been seeing progress, but it didnt sound like that from hamas people, did it . No, it didnt. Before secretary of state john kerry left washington, d. C. , we were told by officials that facetoface diplomacy has been needed. Hes done a great deal of facetoface diplomacy and it doesnt seen at least on the public face of it there has been much progress. You heard the comments answering your question at that News Conference in doha. He doesnt want to go back to where we were over two weeks ago. He wants the siege of gaza lifted. On the israeli side, i spoke to a close advisor of benjamin netanyahu. He said we cant accept any agreement that allows those rockets to still fire from gaza. Both sides have quite high hurdles in terms of demands they want met in a ceasefire agreement. Thats one reason its proving so hard to get this agreement. The other is who is doing the mediating. In 2012, egypt was able to deal with both sides. Thats not the situation now. They dont have the same leverage with hamas. Lets talk about one of those obstacles. As you talk with israeli officials there, james, what kind of a sense do you get of any indication under what circumstances israel would consider lifting the siege . Well, you dont get a clearance to that. In fact, you get some israeli officials saying there isnt a siege when everyone in gaza believes they are under a siege and around able to get all the basic supplies they need, arent able to live as normal citizens anywhere else in the world. I asked ambassador gold about a unilateral ceasefire. He said our plans are under discussion and all opposites discussed. Im told those options include an intense filing of the ground operation on the ground. They are talking about a truce on one hand but also talking about increasing their military operations in gas. Thanks so much. James bays, senior diplomatic editor. A grizzly attack on a school at the United NationsRelief Agency school in gaza. I believe we have now on the line Robert Turner, director have operations. Good to have you with us. Can you tell us the casualties . Im not going to get into speculating on numbers. Its too fresh. I can reasonably confirm there are certainly multiple deaths and injured. Its too unclear at the moment as to actual numbers. Do you have any idea who the dead are, sir . They would be displaced who had south ref final. This is a School Designated as an emergency shelter. The location of the school had been conveyed to the Israel Forces on multiple occasions. This is the fourth strike on one of our installations, three of which were housing displaced in the last four days. As far as you know, did you receive warnings from the Israel Military that the strike was going to take place . No, we did not. In fact, we have been today the area generally has been a lot of hostilities. We had been over the course of today, trying to coordinate a window where our staff could withdraw from this school and for fear the security level was not sufficient for them to be remaining. We never had an opportunity to implement that. Who were you trying when you say you were trying to coordinate a window, who were you in touch with to coordinate a safe passage. We coordinate with the designated group within the israeli forces. So you were in touch with the Israeli Military forces, someone in the style military forces about getting people out, is that correct . Thats correct. Now, are emergency crews there . Do you have an idea of people being tended to, the wounded . There was i went to the school as soon as it was reported. Ambulances had already been there, more on the site, injured taken to hospital. If i could come back to a point, actually, can you tell me how recent were you in touch with Israel Military forces about evacuating people . Are we talking the last few minutes, hours, or a longer period . No, over the course of today. The course of today, all right. We do know a statement was released saying that you had found weapons in one of your schools and you had handed you had dealt with those weapons. From what you know of, was there any possibility that there was anything going on in this School Related to any kind of military operation by palestinian factions . Absolutely no information of that kind. Give me an idea of how sure you can be that nothing was going on in your school, are you completely in control of it . In that school, we have staff managing the shelter. We have people there 24 hours, seven days a week to ensure our neutrality of the installation is maintained. I imagine israeli spokes people are going to say, that clearly those procedures are not enough if you found weapons in the past. Did you change anything in your procedures to really indicate that you are now fully in control of anything coming in and going out of that place . Theres a distinction here. The placement of the weapons in our installations by militant groups was done in installations that were not in use. These were empty schools that had been taken advantage of, our neutrality had been outrageously violated by these militant groups, putting at threat our installations and the lives of our staff and the civilians. Those installations were empty. This is an installation that we are managing, that we had staff on the ground at all times to monitor to make sure our neutrality was maintained. Do you see any justification for hitting this school . Well, we always call on all parties to adhere to International Humanitarian law, proportionality and precaution to make sure civilians are not injured. Thank you so much, Robert Turner there, the director of operations confirming to us that there have been multiple casualties. He suspects that they are amongst the people who had south ref final there from the displaced. He said that it was the fourth strike on one of their installations, and that they were in touch with Israeli Military authorities through the course of today in an effort to try and coordinate a window, as he put it, to get people out of there when this attack happened that has now apparently caused multiple casualties. Well try and bring you more details of course on this story as soon as we get them. You can continue to get more details on that situation as well as in other parts of gaza and elsewhere if you head over to aljazeera. Com.
