Hello, to you. Im sarah campbell, welcome to bbc news. In the last few hours the Israeli Military has said that more than a million palestinians must leave the Northern Gaza Strip within the next 2a hours, thats ahead of anna unexpected Ground Operation. The un spokesperson said the United Nations considers it impossible for such a movement to take place without devastating humanitarian consequences. The United Nations strongly appeals for any such order, if confirmed, to be rescinded avoiding what could transform what is already a tragedy into a calamitous situation. That statement has sparked an angry reaction from israel with the country . Ambassador to the United Nations saying israel is trying to minimise harm. He said for many years the United Nations has turned a blind eye to the arming of hamas and the use of the civilian infrastructure in the gaza strip as a hiding place for weapons and murder. Lets give you a sense as to what is happening today. Just a few months ago the us secretary of state, anthony lincoln, arrived in the jordanian capital, 0man. This happened in the last ten minutes or so. As you will remember, he has been touring the region. There he is meeting the Palestinian Leader, mack made a bass. This after he was in israel yesterday having discussions with the israeli Prime Minister, benjamin netanyahu. Just to repeat, anthony lincoln, the us Secretary Of State Meeting Mahmoud Abbas. We will give you any lines that come from there, any sense of what those discussions are revealing. Lets give you a sense of the geography in gaza. Here is a map of israel, where you can seek gas out there and the west bank mark. What the Israeli Military are saying is that everyone living in Northern Gaza should relocate to the southern end in the next 2a hours. That is more than a Million People, or half the population of the entire gaza strip. Israeli air power continues to hit the gaza strip. Buildings flattened in the blink of an eye. Israel says it has dropped 6,000 bombs on hamas targets in gaza over the past six days. With every fall and building, stories of human suffering. We are told this girl has lost all her immediate family. Were told this girl has lost all her immediate family. Doctors say the entire Health System here is close to breaking point. I think the whole medical sector and the Health Department maybe will collapse maybe in two or three days. I dont think that we can manage it. The hospital is full of patients. The Israeli Military has called for the entire population of Northern Gaza to relocate to the south within the next 2a hours. The un says this would involve the displacement of more than a Million People and that such an undertaking would have devastating humanitarian consequences. Israelis are still reeling from last saturdays attack by hamas. This video shows what remains of a kibbutz in Southern Israel. It was here where 75 year Old David Moshe was killed by gunmen. His wife, adina, was kidnapped. Their granddaughter anat describes that moment. They took us through the window. Shes a 72 year old woman. Shes sick, she has heart issues. She watched her husband die right in front of her. And right after they got her on the motorcycle. And she had to hold the Terrorist Thatjust murdered her husband. They were together for over 50 years. Us secretary of state Antony Blinken, seen here at an israeli donation centre, promised unending american support for israel following talks with Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. Hes due to meet the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas later. The president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, will also visit israel later today in whats been described as a show of solidarity with the victims of the hamas attacks. Behind the politics, the people. In tel aviv, a vigil for those murdered. 0ne candle for each victim. Each day, bringing news of another life lost. Nickjohnson, bbc news. Lets go live to tom bateman. So the statement from the United Nations said they wanted this Evacuation Order withdrawn and could lead to devastating humanitarian consequences. Devastating humanitarian conseuuences. � , consequences. And it is impossible and the idea consequences. And it is impossible and the idea of consequences. And it is impossible and the idea of evacuating consequences. And it is impossible and the idea of evacuating 40,000 people from a packed city like gaza city from the areas north of that, trying to make a move south to the other part of the gaza strip would lead to chaos, so that is why i think the United Nations has urged the israelis to withdraw the announcement and this morning in the last couple of hours we have seen a growing number of International Aid agencies, humanitarian organisations echoing that call. 0ne saying that they were horrified to learn of the israeli announcement and called on the israelis to withdraw it because the israelis to withdraw it because the point about this is to make an announcement that is appearing to be about the protection of civilians but is completely impossible and willjust but is completely impossible and will just create but is completely impossible and willjust create more chaos, i think Thatis Willjust create more chaos, i think that is why these organisations have called for it to be rescinded. The israelis are saying it is about the protection of civilians because as we know there is a huge amount now of force gathered around the Gaza Perimeter and increased activity yesterday with artillery fire, for example, very big bombardments, air strikes by the israelis into the gaza strip. Five homes destroyed, killing 25 people. That humanitarian crisis continues to deepen. Notjust wanted in the hospital is now, but those fleeing to try to take. Regardless of the movement, which is and other people are saying its impossible, the humanitarian situation in gaza is already deteriorating extremely rapidly due to the lack of fuel, food and water. So israel has put a complete siege around gaza, so it is cut off the power, the last Power Station went out the day before yesterday, so a few people have solar panels, but most things having to run on generators. They obviously require fuel. The hospital in gaza city saying it only has three days of power left, so if you think about what is going on in the surgical wards there, they have 12 intensive care units, all the power that is required to keep the hospital running. If that runs out, you have a complete humanitarian catastrophe. Lack of clean water, lack of food. 0ne lack of clean water, lack of food. One of the eight organisations were saying yesterday that they managed to get bread to around 180,000 people but they have hundreds of thousands more still that youre running out of food. It is hard to overstate the depth of crisis in gaza for ordinary people there, who are now caught between the statement by the israelis telling them to move, and movement of people on historical levels. These are the descendants of refugees who fled or were forced from their homes in the waters surrounding israels creation in 1948 and they have never been allowed to go back to their homes. This has huge residents being told they have to move again. It is something that humanitarian organisations are already pointing out about the psychological effects of Something Like this. There are big issues at stake and people on the ground can are extremely concerned, not knowing what to do next. figs concerned, not knowing what to do next. � ,. , concerned, not knowing what to do next. � ,. , concerned, not knowing what to do next.

The bbc news website is reporting hamas claiming that 13 hostages in gaza have been killed in israeli air strikes in the last 24 hours, so there are so many levels to this conflict. £31 hours, so there are so many levels to this conflict. To this conflict. Of course. What the israeli to this conflict. Of course. What the Israeli Energy to this conflict. Of course. What the Israeli Energy minister to this conflict. Of course.

That remains a critical factor on top of the mines for ordinary israelis, going through this agonising time of not knowing what has happened to these people held by hamas. The alqassam brigades Making A Claim in the last hour about hostages that they said had been killed in the israeli air strikes. We had a similar statement earlier in the week. Impossible to verify any of that information because knowledge about where hostages are is completely unclear, of course. We dont know much about either if there is any form of mediation over their fates. There is any form of mediation over theirfates. The there is any form of mediation over their fates. The question there is any form of mediation over theirfates. The question is there is any form of mediation over their fates. The question is what happens next. We have a 24 hour window being given by the israelis that would seem to signify a big increase in the possibility of military action. Increase in the possibility of military action. Increase in the possibility of milita action. ,. , ~ military action. John bateman, thank ou ve military action. John bateman, thank you very much you very much. Earlier, chief International Correspondent told me about the military build up that is currently happening in Southern Israel. We are just happening in Southern Israel. We arejust outside happening in Southern Israel. We are just outside ashkelon, the southernmost city in Southern Israel. We are not far from the gaza border. We can only go so far. You can see behind this in the field the armour that israel has been moving into this area ever since hamas carried out that unprecedented assault on saturday morning. Since we have been standing here to have been Israeli Military vehicles with troops racing past heading to the front. Yesterday when we were on a different section of the room there was a stream of military traffic. The civilians are either gone or are taking shelter. Yesterday we saw a stream of huge lorries, all of them unmarked, heading to the front with provision for the soldiers. Day by day israel is putting the pieces into place on the military site to carry out what is certain to be, what is expected to be a ground invasion. What we are seeing now is the operations which have to take place before that. What the gazans says nonstop apartment Night And Day on the gaza strip, even from here when we were in different positions we can see the horizon of gaza city endedin we can see the horizon of gaza city ended in a plume of black smoke. We also hear the sound of israeli artillery going into gaza. Hamas is still having the capacity to fire missiles here, so the iron dome is an action. We can hear it and see it in the sky when they make contact with the missiles. With every day it gathers pace. It seems certain that given the preparations and the resources which went into hamass assault on israel by land, sea and air of a size and scale that hamas has never conducted before, that hamas has never confronted before, that at the same time they would have made the preparations for what they would know would be a ferocious israeli retaliation. Those at the underground network of tunnels, those are pre positioning food and fuel for generators to keep going. Those are finding places where in this case, in this crisis, where they are hiding notjust their fighters and their commanders, but also the hostages they have taken. Never has there been a Hostage Crisis on this scale. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news today. Hundreds of afghans who risk their lives working with the uk in afghanistan are now stuck in neighbouring pakistan as they wait to be relocated to the uk. Bbc news has learned that some afghans are spending their lives living in fear, with pakistani officials beginning a crackdown on migrants without visas. The man who poured glitter over sir keir starmer before a speech at the Labour Party Conference has apologised for making him feel unsafe. He admitted that he had crossed the line when he made physical contact with sir keir starmer, but said he did not regret his protest to his use of glitter.

The bbc has hurt more accounts of atrocities committed by her masked gunman who rampaged through atrocities committed by her masked gunman who rampaged Throuthewish Communities in Southern Israel on saturday. 0ne communities in Southern Israel on saturday. One of the most shocking massacres took place in the village of kfar aza. Theyre shooting people, shooting kids. And the people please no, please no. They are the survivors. 22 year old neta and her boyfriend, santiago, escaped from hamass santiago, escaped from hamas massacre in their village. She was shot six times in the legs. We start to hear gunshots for all they start. 0ne apartment, one apartment, one apartment. Start to break the windows, break the doors and start to shoot you. Sounds people screaming. The killers filmed themselves on the loose, murdering dozens in Thejewish Community of kfar aza. Trapped in her home with no israeli army to be seen, neta realised the only person who could save her was her dad, who she hadnt spoken to in six years. Hiding, staying silent, she managed to message him. They are close, she wrote. Lock the doors, her dad replies. Please answer, please. But the gunman found them. He started to shoot like were nothing. I fell down on the ground and i felt santiago scream on me. Neta, please stand up. Start to run. If you dont stand up, were going to die. Were going to die. Hiding under a pile of rubbish, she texted her dad again. Dad, they shot me. Help im coming, he replies. When she text me that they shot her and she didnt answer me, my heart stops and my brain starts to work. You know, i was mad. When shimon, a plainclothes policeman, arrived at the village, he came under attack. I took my gun and they start to shoot at me. I shoot at them. I dont know if i hit or not. And four people get from their houses over there and with the ak 47 start to shoot me. Eventually, shimon found neta near their burnt out home and took them to safety, leaving behind many bodies. Neta says israel must now respond in the strongest possible way. I dont want the hamas any more in my life. They need to destroy them one by one. They come to kill us. Have you been thinking about what may happen to civilians in gaza if there is a big Ground Operation by the Israeli Military there . I speaking all what i say, its for the jihad and the hamas. I dont. My country didnt want to hurt the civilians. I want them to be safe. I dont think they need to die, like i dont need to die. They like me. But civilians are being killed in this war in ever increasing numbers. Nick beake, bbc news, tel aviv. Well, it was last saturday when hamas, designated as a Terror Organisation by many western governments, including the uk, Murdered Hundreds of young people enjoying a music festival. Lucy williamson has visited the scene. Since saturday, the Festival Site near gazas border fence has been sealed inside a closed military zone. This is the first time that weve been allowed inside this site. Its become the ground zero of the attack here. Everything pretty much has been left as it would have been on saturday morning. The abandoned vehicles, personal belongings scattered over the ground, the tents, the stages, its all been almost frozen in time. And you canjust imagine the panic of people trying to leave. As people danced here early on saturday morning, gunmen stormed the site, kidnapping and killing. The sound of music replaced by gunfire. You know its possible, but you dont actually imagine it will happen, especially not at this scale. This was unthinkable, unimaginable. Gunshots. We just heard a couple of gunshots ring out. And the Israeli Soldiers here are running, sprinting right across to the other side of the field. The army told us later that someone carrying a knife had been spotted near the site and arrested. Weve just been told to leave this site because there is an active situation going on. We heard a couple of gunshots ring out. This was an Army Supervised Press trip to a secure location. The nervousness now is hard to hide, even here. A week ago, revellers partied, trusting as much in their superpower image of israels army as in gazas borderfence. It took a day for everything to change. Lucy williamson, bbc news, Southern Israel. What is it like what is it like to try and work in a war zone . This is what a Bbcjournalist Try and work in a war zone . This is what a bbc journalist witnessed try and work in a war zone . This is what a bbcjournalist witnessed on thursday.

We dont have any Resistance Fighters in our building. All our building is full of residents. 120 people live there. The corridor of the hospital is filled with bodies. The morgue can no longer cope. The bodies of the dead have to be laid on the floor outside the hospital entrance. You never want to become the story, yet in my city i feel helpless as the dead were given no dignity and the injured are left in pain. Lets just remind you of the area of the gaza strip, where israel has ordered this evacuation within 24 hours. You can see the area covers around a third of the territory in the northern part of gaza. The israeli order includes the whole of gaza city, two major refugee camps, and it also includes two towns, both adjacent to the main Crossing Point at the northern end of the strip. Hello. First chill of the autumn heading our way this weekend. Some of you are already feeling it across parts of scotland, Northern Ireland today. The blue colours on this chart show where temperatures below normal reds wear the significantly above, including Southern Parts of england and wales today. But notice into the weekend how the blues deepened for all of us. All of us will notice those temperatures drop. The colder conditions are waiting to the west of this area of low pressure. Its that and especially these Weather Fronts its produced heavy rain so far today across parts of england and wales. Its shifting southwards through this afternoon. There will be some sunshine at times in the far south before that rain arrives. One or two heavy showers in the east of the english channel. Quite windy here, but scotland, Northern Ireland, northern england, north wales, sunny spells this afternoon, but a blustery wind pushing in a few showers, especially the north and west of scotland. And the winds in Northern Scotland gusting 50, 60 miles an hour, maybe a little bit more later. So that adds to the chill here. Just nine, ten degrees in lower stornoway, 22 towards east anglia and the south east where well see the rain push through during the second half of the evening rush hour before clearing, then the rest of the night Showers Peppering Northern and western coast. Those showers turning increasingly wintry across the north of scotland, but with some clear skies elsewhere. And if you sheltered from some strong winds, it will feel rather chilly. South east scotland, north east england, maybe strong as the winds are on the southern flank. This area of low pressure to the north and northeast of scotland for saturday. But it will help to drive that colder Air Southwards to all the blue colours on the chart here. Now, if you took a look at saturday, though, well have frequent showers turning wintry across Northern Scotland. Showers maybe wintry in the west of england, wales on the tops of the highest hills, but most its rain, maybe a little bit of hail, some of the showers pushing the way southwards and eastwards. But a good parts of southern and southeastern scotland, eastern and Southern England will stay dry on saturday. But for all seven to 13 celsius, it will feel colder well down. And what weve had for some through the week and with winds falling a bit lighter through Saturday Night into sunday, our first widespread rural frost on the grass for sunday morning, especially across the central and northern parts of the uk. A crisp day to get an autumn walk in, still breezy down some eastern coast, a bit more cloudy in Northern Scotland. The wintry showers turning more back to rain, isolated showers in the west to begin with, but many dry through the afternoon, but chilly highs of just 9 to 12 celsius. Take care.
