Hello, im nancy kacungira. Welcome to the daily global, where well bring you the top stories from around the world. Israeli soldiers have begun removing the bodies of those killed by hamas at kfar aza, a kibbutz in Southern Israel. About 100 people are thought to have been killed there and the Military Reports that the dead include women and children. In gaza, there has been a further day of intense israeli air strikes. Hamas responded with barrages of rockets into israel. The number of dead on both sides continues to rise, with little prospect of a swift end to the violence. This was the scene in gaza today. Palestinian Officials Say more than 800 people have been killed by the strikes. The families of israelis taken hostage have been speaking about their agony. The Israeli Army Says it has contacted the families of 50 soldiers seized by hamas. At least 123 Israeli Soldiers have been killed since saturday. At least 1,000 israelis are now known to have been killed, in the hamas attacks. Lets show you some Life Pictures now, this is the scene above gaza as night has fallen. We have been seeing explosions injust the night has fallen. We have been seeing explosions in just the last few seconds as that bombardment continues. And of course, israel says that it wont stop with this, and this will continue as they. I beg your pardon. As that Israel Gaza Conflict continues. We understand that more and 800 people have been killed on the palestinian side, and the death toll in israel has risen to 1000 people. Our international editor, jeremy bowen, joined the soldiers today at kfar aza and witnessed the collection of bodies. A warning, you may find some elements of his report distressing. The first few days of war at this small Israeli Community called kfar aza are a microcosm of israels trauma and a glimpse of what might come next. Israeli troops only seized back full control of the kibbutz this morning. It is one of a series of small israeli villages along the gaza wire. When we arrived they were still firing on houses across on the gaza side. Israeli combat soldiers only started their fight back here at around six oclock on saturday evening, around 12 hours after hamas attacked. These men are experienced soldiers, combat reservists. They said fighting their way back in against a determined enemy was hard going. How difficult is the fighting . You cannot imagine. Have you ever had to do anything like this before as a soldier . No, not like this. What happens next, what do you do next, what does israel do next . I dont know. I do what they tell me to do. I will do. I hope we will go inside. Into gaza . Yeah. That will be tough. Yeah, we will be ready for it. Kfar aza was taken by surprise like everywhere else hamas attacked. The kibbutz guard, Armed Civilian volunteers, died fighting back. Hamas stormed in, burning homes and killing families according to the soldiers. As it took so long to secure the kibbutz the army couldnt recover all the civilian dead until this morning. These are the bodies of israelis. Decomposing hamas gunmen are still lying there where they were killed. The murder of israeli civilians here was without doubt a war crime, but what about the Palestinian Civilians israel is killing on hamas as you know, all Armies Killing in attacks on hamas as you know, all armies have obligations under the rules of war to protect civilian life even in war zones. Are you doing this, with this level of air strikes going on at the moment and any Ground Operation that might happen . I am sure we fight for our value and our culture all our life. You keep your value in the same time. I know we will be very aggressive and very strong, but we keep our moral and our value. We are israeli, we are jewish, and although its a very difficult theatre with a lot of problems, people are staying on the battlefield who will suffer a lot, you can see what is happening here, but we want to kill the enemy, not the civilians. But in only a few days israel has inflicted immense damage in gaza. They have cut off supplies of food, water and power and killed hundreds of civilians. Palestinians suffering, israel says, is the responsibility of hamas. Israel has already been accused of breaking rules of war and that will get louder as more palestinians are wounded and killed. At kfar aza, israeli troops are thinking of what is next, perhaps a Ground Invasion of gaza. It was tough enough for the israelis to come in to recapture this area, these small border communities. It is a different order of Military Challenge to cross the wire, to get into gaza, potentially to fight house to house at a time when hamas will have made its plans and will be waiting. Some of these men are moving north in case war starts with hezbollah, The Powerful Lebanese militia backed by iran. What happened here is why israel is shaken to its core, wyatt insists it to its core, why it insists it must break hamas and it points to the danger and uncertainty ahead. Just to let you know, we are expecting joe biden to speak about the situation in hamas, he had been in the situation with his Vice President and he tweeted that they had been discussing the situation in israel. And we are expecting him to give an address on that situation, so well bring you that as soon as it happens. And we can also, of course, show you the situation in gaza, the Life Pictures of the city as night falls. Of course the bombardments there are continuing and this is a situation that is concerning everyone. We are expecting to hear from concerning everyone. We are expecting to hearfrom President Biden what the us intends to do. We have heard from him before calling the attack on Southern Israel and unprecedented and appalling assault. Of course israel has responded with force, weve heard bombardments continuing there in gaza. Throughout the day. Meanwhile, israel has continued its campaign of air strikes on gaza for a fourth day. Un aid agencies are warning of the severe consequences of israels siege on the territory. The World Health Organization has called for a humanitarian corridor to be opened into the area. The eu Foreign Policy chief, josep borrell, says that the eu opposes a total siege of gaza. The bbc has a rare insight into the gaza strip through our correspondent rushdi abu alouf. Hes lived there his entire life and has reported on the conflict for decades. Its too dangerous for him to report live for us at the moment, so hes sent us this update from gaza. We can see the scale of destruction in this neighbourhood. It was targeted yesterday. Many buildings were destroyed, an 11 storey building was knocked down two days ago but the destruction in this area has been targeted last night. Israel has carried out 200 air strikes targeting hamas infrastructure. They hit many buildings, government buildings belonging to the hamas authority. But look at the scale of destruction in the area and how civilian homes were completely affected and some of them were completely destroyed. The United Nations say the seers that deprives palestinians of their essentials. Clive murray has been looking at the most Populated Areas of the world. The gaza strip, or simply gaza, is palestinian territory with israel on its northern border and egypt to the south. Its a tiny sliver of land, when you consider the number of People Living there. 2. 3 million in an area just 25 km long and 10 km wide. The largest settlement is gaza city. The Ruling Authority is the militant group, hamas, in control since 2007. Its committed to israels destruction, hoping to create an islamic state. The uk has detonated hamas as a terror organization, the uk has designated hamas as a terror organization, but its israel that controls gazas airspace, shoreline and border crossings, as well as water and the electricity supplies. The un says 80 of gazas population survives on international aid, Human Rights Watch has called gaza an open air prison. Israeli rockets can cause mass casualties in the densely populated territory, and the war and of back and the warren of back streets will make any Israeli Defense force Ground Operation extremely difficult. Its believed hamas has built a vast network of tunnels like these, in which gunmen can hide and be re supplied with weapons. If israel decides to cross the border, the fighting will be bloody and intense. Joining us now on the phone from gaza is dr khamis elessi, hes a neurorehabilitation and p ain medicine and Pain Medicine consultant in gaza. I hope you can hear me, thank you very much for talking to us. Can you just describe the situation in gaza at the moment . I hope you can hear me, doctor. Unfortunately, it looks like we are not able to reach him. We will try to regain contact. But obviously the situation in gaza is causing huge concern as the rockets assault continues there. And that report we heard Earlierfrom A Bbc reporter, he did mention that this was the worst bombing he had seen in gaza in 20 years, with entire neighbourhoods flattened. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news. The home office has notified migrants, vessel completed all necessary tests. 39 men were moved onto the vessel in august but were removed when the Legionella Bacteria was found on board. Holly willoughby has told, has resigned from atvs this morning.

They say access into gaza for staff and supplies, is if it comes to more difficult to deliver aid. At least 200 2000 people in gaza have been displaced, their homes have been destroyed by the air strikes. We can go now to our correspondent. Yes and weve heard go now to our correspondent. Yes and weve heard from go now to our correspondent. Yes and weve heard from a go now to our correspondent. Yes and weve heard from a number go now to our correspondent. Yes and weve heard from a number of weve heard from a number of agencies, from unicef, the childrens agency, the who, the world food programme, we have heard from several rights parts of the un saying that is a war crime to hold hostages, and also a war crime, these acts of denying people the basic needs. They are saying that the seizure of gaza is illegal, and when you look at what is happening there right now, 80 of the 2 million population in gaza is reliant on aid and they havent been able to get any aid coming in since saturday. So the un saying that in their various schools, the Un Relief Works Agency for refugees have schools there and gaza and they are now sheltering over 200,000 people there who have been displaced, who have either been told to get out of their area or have seen their residence collapse. Air strikes have hit hospitals there, Have Hit Mosques in gaza, have hit residential towers. And so at the moment, its certainly extremely worrying for those who have nowhere else to go. This is a blockade where all the entry points into gaza are completely closed. So there is no way out, and the un is saying that they are desperately in need of getting a humanitarian corridor opened, that they need 17. 3 million over the next four weeks to get people to food and supplies they need, because right now and gaza there is no water, israel has cut off water, they have cut off electricity, there is only one power plant running now so people there are getting just about three to four hours of electricity a day. Hearing from various un agencies sounding the alarm, and saying that these are rights that need to be guaranteed to the palestinian people. find rights that need to be guaranteed to the palestinian people.

We have had a very stern letter from the Palestinian Un Mission of the un to the security council, saying that the security council, saying that the scale of the events there and the scale of the events there and the destruction, calls for an International Response that is focused directly on peace. And basically putting the needs of civilians first. And they are calling on the security council, in fact, to help protect the palestinian people. And in this letter by the Palestinian Un Mission, it is quite strong in saying that this is israel mounting a war against the entire palestinian population. So a letter they are from the Palestinian Un Mission to the security council, outlining what it sees as various war crimes as it calls them, in gaza, and calling on the International Community to protect the civilians there. Shall protect the civilians there. All ri. Ht, protect the civilians there. All right, thank you very much, ned a tough weekjoining us there. The bbc understands more than 100 israelis have been taken hostage. Imagine that you know and love these children, all now hostages in gaza, and the weight, the absence of news, is torture. This is a 30 year old mother, sheree, on saturday morning in the hands of her captors, still in her arms, her nine month old baby. She was kidnapped from a kibbutz close to the border with gaza, along with her toddler. Theirfather, her husband, was also taken. My babies were torn out from their bed at 6am on saturday morning, on holiday, in israel. They were asleep in their beds. My feeling is that my family is over there, i dont know how they treat them and i know there is a nine months old baby that without its food and diapers. These are pictures of more children in hostages shared with their danish mother. He they are eight year and 15 year girls. And she had this message for them. I will do anything. We will do anything to get you back. Do what your Hostage Takers tell you. Be strong. You are heroes. The whole country is with you and Everyone Else who is being held hostage. Everybody loves you. We know the names of these six children. There is a 12 year old and his brother, on the bottom there. On the right, two children just five and three. As israel pounds gaza, nobody knows what is happening to them and now the lives of palestinian children are also being lost and torn apart. Caroline hawley, bbc news.

We understand that further military aid will be sent to israel in the coming days, this is according to something weve heard from the white house who also said that the us is working to ensure that israels enemies did not try to seek advantage from this situation.

They then continued their rampage into then continued their rampage into the surrounding areas. Among the dead, the passengers of the scar gunned down as they fled. Bodies and debris still lined the route into this festival site. Police have told us this vehicle was used by militants, and you can still see the ground here it was covered with the remains of weapons and uniforms they use. Days on from this attack, families all across this area are still trying to trace exactly what happened to their loved ones. 12 year old yaqui and the 16 year old were taken by gunmen from a house nearby, they phoned their mother as it was happening. And then they said they hear someone breaking into the door and walking into the house. About ten minutes later i heard people speaking in arabic outside the door, the door opened, and i could hear my youngest saying, dont take me, im too young. That was the last time i heard from them. Those barbarians took kids out of their houses and out of their beds. And just kidnapped them. They are keeping them hostage. Kidnapped them. They are keeping them hostage them hostage.

Will cut away thats the hardest part for me. I. Will cut away from that and listen to President Biden speaking on the israel gaza war. The people of israel lived through one such moment this weekend. The blood he hands of the terrorist organisation hamas, a group who stated purses for being is to killjews. Thousands kill jews. Thousands of killjews. Thousands of civilians slaughtered in israel, among them at least 14 american citizens killed. Parents butchered using their bodies to try and protect their children. Stomach turning reports of babies being killed. Entire families slain. Young people massacred while attending a musical festival to celebrate peace. To celebrate peace. Women raped, assaulted, paraded as trophies. Families hid theirfear for hours and hours desperately trying to keep their children quiet. To avoid drawing attention. And thousands of wounded, a life but carrying with them bullet holes and shrapnel wounds and the memory of what they endured. You all know that these traumas never go away. There are still so many families desperately waiting to hear the fate of their loved ones. Not knowing if they are alive or dead, or hostages. Infants in their mother arms, grand parents in wheelchairs, Holocaust Survivors abducted and held hostage. Hostages whom hamas has note threatened to execute, in violation of every code of human morality. Its abhorrent. The brutality of hamas is Blood Thorton bloodthirsty nests brings to mind the worst rampages of isis. These are terrorists, but sadly for the jewish people its not new. This attack is brought to the surface painful memories, the scars left by millennia of anti semitism and genocide of thejewish people. So in this moment we must be crystal clear, we stand with israel. We stand with israel. And we will make sure it has what it needs to take care of its citizens, to defend itself in response to this attack. There is no justification itself in response to this attack. There is nojustification for terrorism, there is no excuse. Hamas does not stand for the palestinian peoples right for dignity. It stands to murderjewish people. They used palestinian citizens as human shields. Hamas offers nothing but terror and bloodshed with no regard to who pays the price. The loss of innocent life is heartbreaking. Like every nation of the world, israel has the right to respond and indeed has the right to respond and indeed has a duty to respond to these vicious attacks. Ijust got has a duty to respond to these vicious attacks. I just got off the phone with a third call with Prime Minister netanyahu. I told him, phone with a third call with Prime Minister netanyahu. Itold him, the United States experiencing what youre experiencing our response would be swift and overwhelming. We also talked about how we are stronger when we act according to the rule of law. Terrorists purposefully target civilians, kill them. We uphold the laws of war, the law of war. It matters, theres a difference. Today, americans across the country are praying for all those families that have been ripped apart. A lot of us know how it feels, it leaves a black hole in your chest when you lose family. Feeling like youve been sucked in, the anger, the pain. The sense of hopelessness. This is what they mean by human tragedy. An atrocity. An appalling scale. Were going to continue to stand united, supporting the people of israel, who are suffering unspeakable losses, and opposing the hatred and violence of terrorism. My team has been in near constant communication with our israeli partners, partners all across the region and the world. From the moment this crisis began. Where are sending supplies to replenish the iron dome, we will make sure that israel do not run out of these assets to defend its citizens. My administration has consulted closely with congress throughout this crisis, when Congress Returns will ask them to take urgent action to fund the National Security requirements of our critical partners. This is not about party or politics. This is about party or politics. This is about the security of our world. The security of the United States of america. We now know that american citizens i had to rent my team to deploy additional experts across the United States government to consult with an advise israeli counterparts on hostage recovery efforts. Because, as president , i have no higher priority than the safety of americans being held hostage around the world. The United States is also enforced our force in the world. The United States is also enforced ourforce in the region. The Department Of Defence has moved the Carrier Strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean and bow street fighter
