00:00In Palestine, a growing number of Israeli soldiers and their mothers are refusing to
00:05return to fight in Gaza, while the regime continues with its plans to occupy Palestinian
00:10territory.
00:11Despite the risk of imprisonment, newly formed groups are announcing their refusal to fight
00:16in Gaza.
00:17Israelis have staged mass protests, demanding a ceasefire deal and the return of the remaining
00:2248 captives, 20 of whom are believed to be alive.
00:27Slamming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for prolonging the war for political purpose.
00:33Many opponents, including former senior military officials, feel the offensive will achieve
00:38little and endanger the levels the life of Israeli health there.
00:42Israel also face heavy international criticisms over the humanitarian catastrophe unleashed
00:48by the war and its blockade of Gaza.
00:56Also in Palestine, child malnutrition in Gaza is reaching catastrophic levels UNICEF has
01:01warned, with the latest evidence showing a record number of children suffering acute malnutrition.
01:07New data shows that in August, 13.5% of children screened across Gaza were found to be acutely
01:14malnourished, a sharp increase from 8.3% in July.
01:19Conditions are even more dire in Gaza City, where famine was officially confirmed last month.
01:24There, 19% of children admitted to health facilities showed signs of malnutrition, up from 16% the previous month.
01:34In raw numbers, at least 12,800 children were identified as acutely malnourished in August.
01:41However, UNICEF warns that the real figure may be significantly higher, as intensified violence
01:47and evacuation orders led to the closure of 10 treatment centres in Gaza City and northern
01:53Gaza, reducing the number of children able to be screened.
01:56So please think about that.
