     STORY: :: Palestine Red Crescent Society :: Workers move casualties to a hospital after an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza school :: August 10, 2024 :: Gaza City, Gaza Footage filmed by the Palestine Red Crescent Society showed workers moving the dead and the wounded from the scene to a hospital. Other videos from the site showed body parts scattered among rubble and more bodies being carried away and covered by blankets. The Israeli strike had drawn condemnation from Arab states, Turkey, France, Britain and the European Union and an expression of deep concern from the U.S., which has been working with partners to prevent the 10-month-old Gaza conflict from escalating into a regional war. The Israeli military said the death toll was inflated. It added Palestinian militants embed themselves among Gaza's civilians, operating from within schools, hospitals and designated humanitarian zones - which Hamas and its allies deny. Hamas said the strike was a horrific crime and a serious escalation. Izzat El-Reshiq of Hamas' political office said the dead did not include a single combatant.

     Harris urges hostage deal, ceasefire after Gaza school attack

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: August 10, 2024 :: Phoenix, Arizona :: VP Harris urges for a hostage deal and ceasefire after an Israeli strike on a Gaza school "Far too many civilians have been killed again," Harris said during a campaign stop in Phoenix when asked about the Gaza City strike. The Israeli attack drew condemnation from Arab states, Turkey, France, Britain, and the European Union, along with deep concern from the U.S., which has been working with its partners to prevent the 10-month-old Gaza conflict from escalating into a regional war. Israel launched its assault on Gaza after Hamas fighters stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and capturing more than 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies. Since then, nearly 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli offensive in Gaza, according to the health ministry. Gaza health officials say most of the fatalities have been civilians but Israel says at least a third are fighters. Israel says it has lost 329 soldiers in Gaza.

     Gaza govt says over 100 killed in Israeli strike on school

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: This video contains footage some viewers may find distressing In the rubble of this school in Gaza City, empty food tins, burnt mattresses, and a child's doll. Around 100 people died here, Gaza's Hamas-run government said on Saturday (August 10), in an Israeli airstrike. Mahmoud Basal, a spokesperson for Gaza's civil defense, said thousands of people displaced amid Israel's 10-month assault on the Palestinian enclave had been sheltering in the school compound. "The Israeli occupation forces hit people this morning at dawn when they were getting ready for the dawn prayers, it hit with three missiles two from air jets and one from a drone." Israel's military said the death toll was inflated. It said around 20 Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants were operating at the site. Israel accuses Palestinian militant groups of embedding among Gaza's civilians and operating from schools, hospitals and designated humanitarian zones. Hamas and its allies deny this. Hamas said the strike was a horrific crime and a serious escalation, and that the dead did not include "a single combatant". Israel launched its Gaza offensive after Hamas fighters stormed into southern Israel on October 7. According to Israeli tallies, 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed and 250 taken hostage. Since then nearly 40,000 Palestinians have been killed according to the Palestinian health ministry. It does not distinguish between combatants and civilians. Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians have sought shelter in Gaza's schools - most of which have stopped functioning since the start of the war.

     'I respect your voices': Harris tells pro-Palestinian protesters

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris tells pro-Palestinian protesters she respects their voices :: Glendale, Arizona :: August 9, 2024 :: Kamala Harris, U.S. Vice President  "An extraordinary number of folks who are here together because we love our country. We're here to fight for our democracy, which includes respecting the voices that I think that we are hearing from. (HARRIS LOOKING TOWARDS AREA IN THE CROWD WHERE PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS ARE GATHERED) And let me just say this on topic of what I think I'm hearing over there, let me just speak to that for a moment, and then I'm going to get back to the business at hand. So let me say. I have been clear, now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done. Now is the time. And the president and I are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done. And bring the hostages home. So I respect your voices, but we are here to now talk about this race in 2024."

 The Uncommitted political group was organized to oppose President Joe Biden's staunch support for Israel's war, which has killed tens of thousands, displaced nearly 80 per cent of Gaza's 2.3 million people and caused severe food shortages. The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza has prompted calls for Washington to put conditions on the billions of dollars in military funding and other assistance it provides to Israel, which has received more U.S. foreign aid since World War Two than any other country. Israel launched its assault on the besieged Palestinian enclave in retaliation for an Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel by Hamas militants who killed 1,200 people and took some 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.

     As war drums beat, many in Beirut suburb have nowhere to flee

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: When war last came to the edges of Lebanon's capital nearly two decades ago, Bilal Sahlab drove his family to a secluded mountain town, rented an apartment and waited out the bombing. This time around, there's no car, no rent money, and no sense of when hostilities may end. A five-year economic meltdown has devalued the dollar, cost him his savings, bringing his monthly salary down from more than $5,000 to barely $500. “This definitely affected us, on our living standards and our daily routines. I am telling you, before, everything was better, now, I am not doing enough for my family and children, I mean.. (continues to cry), just remembering my family how they’re affected.. I cry everyday, everyday.” He's sent his wife and children to live with his in-laws for their safety, while he has stayed in Dahiyeh to keep working. Many of Beirut's southern suburbs like Dahiyeh, have been on edge since an Israeli airstrike on their neighbourhood last week killed a top Hezbollah military commander, along with five civilians. That same day, the leader of Palestinian militant group Hamas was also assassinated in Tehran. Hezbollah and other allies of Iran have vowed to retaliate against Israel. Many in Dahiyeh feared the airstrike signaled hostilities - playing out in parallel to the Gaza war but so far mostly contained to the border with Israel - were now hitting home. Residents told Reuters they had begun searching for apartments in safer areas further north. But demand has seen monthly rent prices in those areas spiking, sometimes reaching $1,000. Taxi van driver Majed Zeaiter has moved his wife and five children 30 miles north to stay with his brother's family in a small apartment. “There are a lot of people who left the area because of the ongoing situation, and there are people who want to leave but cannot leave, because of their financial status and no one is able to help them, this is the main reason.” But those like Bilal Sahlab hope tensions across the Middle East will cool. “Now it’s a psychological war more than a normal war, it is just a psychological one. Nothing will happen, God willing, the war will not happen.”

     Gaza's children suffer skin diseases with little help or relief

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: Like many other children in Gaza, three-year-old Yasmine Al-Shanbari is ravaged by skin disease. There's little chance of relief for her - the ten-month war between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas has left Gaza with no clean water, streets running with sewage, and a shortage of aid and medicine. Tiny insects flit around the little girl's face. While piles of garbage rot in the summer heat outside the burnt-out school in which she and her father Ahmed are taking shelter, in Jabalia refugee camp in the north. They're displaced, like most people in Gaza. AHMED AL-SHANBARI: “We really suffer a lot from skin diseases in the schools. The schools, first of all, are dilapidated and there is no cleanliness. As you can see, the school is overcrowded, and not every child is like the other. Each child is different, even from different areas. For example, my daughter Yasmine is sensitive to diseases. The disease she has on her face has been there for almost ten days now." Ammar al-Mashharawi, two and a half-years-old, has a fiery rash all over his face and body. His father Ahmed is seeking treatment for him in Kamal Adwan Hospital. They've tried others to no avail. "The reason is the lack of food and medicine, a shortage of everything. We are suffering from everything; there is no medicine or food for the children. These children were recently weaned, and they can’t find eggs, bananas, or anything good to support them. There is no milk, semolina, or anything at all. We adults manage somehow, but the children, God help them.” Skin diseases are not the only illnesses stalking children in one of the most densely populated places on earth. The World Health Organization has sounded the alarm that Hepatitis A and polio are spreading among children. It blamed a chronic scarcity of water, and trash and sewage in the streets, all compounded by people living in crowded into shelters where they have to stand in line for hours to use the toilets. Dr. Wissam Al-Sakani: "The overcrowding of citizens in shelters has also contributed to the rapid spread of skin diseases. Yesterday, we were talking about hepatitis, and today we are talking about contagious skin diseases. Every day there are new diseases spreading among children, such as vitiligo, tinea, psoriasis, and scabies.”

     Harris puts Walz's Midwest cred to the test in Michigan rally

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: Location: Detroit, Michigan :: Date: August 7, 2024 :: Harris lambasts Trump in swing state tour to introduce her running mate Walz Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz :: "It's been a pretty interesting 24 hours for me. I'll have to be honest. And I don't know how I can explain to you walking into that arena in Philly or that field out in Wisconsin or right here to what I have been told is the largest rally of the campaign." Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris "As a prosecutor, I specialize in cases of sexual abuse. Well, Donald Trump was found liable for committing sexual abuse. As attorney general, I held the big Wall Street banks accountable for fraud. Well, Donald Trump was just found guilty of fraud, 34 counts, to be exact." CROWD CHANTING (English) "Lock him up!" Harris: "Hold on, hold on, hold on. You know what? Here. Hold on. Here's the thing. The courts are going to handle that, we're going to beat them in November." The Democratic candidates are using the campaign swing states to introduce Walz, a former teacher and football coach and a veteran of the Army National Guard, to voters around the country after he beat out better-known Democrats for the No. 2 spot. Polls show Harris has erased the lead Trump had built during the final faltering weeks of President Joe Biden's campaign, and a re-energized Democratic Party has flooded her campaign with donations since she rose to the top of the ticket two weeks ago. Democrats regard Wisconsin and Michigan as near must-wins in the 2024 election. The states have loomed large for the party since Hillary Clinton's unexpected defeats there helped clinch Trump's 2016 win. Biden beat Trump in both states in 2020. But opinion polls showed him facing a close battle in Michigan before he dropped out of the race last month, with much of the state's significant Arab and Muslim American population fuming over his administration's support for Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza following the Oct. 7 attacks.

     Shrapnel robs Gaza girl of vision and hope for the future

     Reuters Videos

     SHOWS: STORY: "I wanted to become a doctor, a manager, or a teacher when I grew up. Now I just want to die." Fourteen-year-old Maisa Al-Ghandour had big dreams before she lost her sight in an Israeli strike on July 26. Maisa, her nine-year-old sister Yara and 11-year-old brother Mohammed received head injuries when the Israeli military struck the school they were sheltering in east of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, the family says. All three are being treated at Gaza's Nasser Hospital. MAISA: "We were injured in our heads and my vision is gone; I cannot see with my eyes anymore. There are shrapnel fragments in our chests, abdomens, and faces. I hope we can leave for treatment because there are no medicines here. I hope everyone looks at us. I wish to see again." The family took shelter at the school after being displaced several times. Israel's 10-month-old offensive has killed about 39,600 Palestinians and wounded more than 91,000, according to Gaza health authorities. The day of the attack started with some semblance of normality, said Yara, who suffered burns and shrapnel wounds to her face and hands, and also lost sight in one eye. "We were beautiful, we used to play with our friends, we went there and stayed at the school. They fired two missiles at us, and we became like this." Nurse Makram Awad recalls the family's desperation when they arrived for treatment. "Two days ago, the parents of these children came and asked for help, saying that worms were coming out of their children's heads. We did what we could with the limited medical supplies we have. There are no bandages, plasters, or even the minimum medical supplies. I'm saying that worms came out of a child's head while he was alive and injured. I am addressing everyone with a sense of responsibility to aid hospitals so they can operate at the minimum level at least." Israel launched its assault on Gaza after a cross-border raid by Hamas militants that killed some 1,200 people, while more than 250 were taken hostage, according to Israeli tallies. Gaza's medical sector has been crippled since then and many hospitals are closed. Israel has raided and bombed medical facilities, saying Hamas uses them for military purposes, which it denies.

     Hamas name Oct 7 mastermind Sinwar as leader after Haniyeh death

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: Hamas appointed Yahya Sinwar as its new political leader on Tuesday (August 6) as the successor to former chief Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in Tehran last week. The move reinforces the radical path pursued since the October 7th attack on Israel. Sinwar, the architect of the most devastating attack on Israel in decades, has been hiding in Gaza, evading Israeli attempts to kill him since the start of the war. News of Sinwar’s appointment came as Israel braces for a likely attack from Iran following the killing of Haniyeh in Tehran. It may also reinforce Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence that Israel must pursue its campaign in Gaza to the end. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said a ceasefire must be the primary goal: "With regard to. Mr. (Yahya) Sinwar (Hamas leader), he has been and remains the primary decider when it comes to concluding, a ceasefire. And so I think this only underscores the fact that it is really on him, to decide whether to move forward with a ceasefire that manifestly will help so many Palestinians in desperate need; Women, children, men who are caught in the crossfire of Hamas' making in Gaza. Sinwar, who spent half his adult life in Israeli prisons, was the most powerful Hamas leader left alive following the assassination of Haniyeh, which has left the region on the brink of a wider conflict after Iran vowed harsh retaliation. Israel has not claimed responsibility for the assassination but it has said it killed other senior Hamas leaders. Born in a refugee camp in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, 61-year-old Sinwar, was elected as Hamas' leader in Gaza in 2017 after gaining a reputation as a ruthless enforcer among Palestinians and a ruthless enemy of Israel. Israel's chief military spokesman, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, blamed Sinwar for the October 7th attack and said Israel would continue to pursue him.
